TSC The Sunday Challenge, 18.02.18: Black and White (NO other colors in the photograph)

This fridge magnet is a souvenir from a trip to the United States in 1992. The visit to the "Amish Mennonite Information Center" is a lasting memory, especially the toilet I visited, of course it was without water, with newspaper sections and lime to sprinkle ;-).

Dieser Kühlschrank-Magnet ist ein Mitbringsel von einer USA-Reise 1992. Der Besuch des "Amis Mennonite Information Center" ist mir in bleibender Erinnerung, besonders die Toilette, die ich besucht habe, sie war natürlich ohne Wasser, mit Zeitungspapier-Abschnitten und Kalk zum Streuen ;-).

ich bin mir nun nicht mehr so sicher, ob es Zeitungspapier war, habe es auch nicht benutzt, wäre mir zu hart ... ;-);
das Leben der Amish-People hat mich sehr fasziniert, besonders durch den Film "Der einzige Zeuge" ("Witness") mit Harrison Ford und Kelly McGillis, den ich zuvor gesehen habe

Very nice souvenir in blackandwhite. Most summerhouses in Sweden have that kind of toilet, but nowadays normal toiletpaper. :-)

christel.k club has replied to H C
wahrscheinlich sind die schwedischen Sommerhäuser auf Steinen/Felsen gebaut worden, und es kann kein Abwasserrohr oder System verlegt werden;
Danke für Deinen Besuch, Kommentar und *, Harriet!

Oh Christel what a memory for you ... we have followed many of the Mennonite carriages when visiting the Mennonite areas in this country. We have a Mennonite store in the next little town over and one of these carriages sits outside to let you know where the shop is. :) xx Great for the challenge.

ich hatte nicht den Mut zu fotografieren, fand es aufdringlich und erinnerte mich an abschreckende Szenen im Film "Witness" (Der einzige Zeuge), so habe ich kein einziges Bild fotografiert, wie schade ...;
vielen Dank, liebe Chris!

Great idea and photo! Amish life can vary a lot between settlements! Many have conventional modern toilets and plumbing.

christel.k club has replied to Indycaver (Norm) club
und wie sieht es mit TV, Telefon und Internet aus?
ach, es ist schon interessant, darüber etwas zu erfahren, aber leben möchte ich so nicht ... ;-);
vielen Dank, Norm!

Not in the house. Their basic belief is not to be directly connected to sinners and if you don't belong to the church ... you're a sinner. Power may run to the barn for the milking machines. The telephone may be on a pole at the end of the driveway. Their business web sites are usually run by someone else, but they have one. A lot of this is controlled by the elders of their church and can vary a lot between churches. Church districts are basically the distance a horse can travel in a day. The Amish are generally not opposed to technology ... they just don't believe in owning it. Some of the boys may even have motorcycles until they are old enough to join the church, but again that varies with the church.

Tolle Erinnerung und perfekt für SW. Das mit den Plumpsklos gibt es in Skandinavien bei den Hütten oft, die "riechen" auch nicht, man wirft Löschkalk oder Tannenadeln drauf und die Türen stehen meist auf...
