    1. Because they want to live simply so, to live with electricity is not simple.

  4. I can't understand living without electric appliances too, but I want to experience their lifestyle for once. If it comes true,I'll go to bed early than usual because It seem to have nothings to do at night.

  8. I think,I cannot live like a Amish because I always use many electrics appliaces,especially cellphone.I often keep in touch with many friends by E-mail,HP,and some SNS,so if I cannot use it,maybe I cannot get my mind off my cellphone. However, I envy their life a bit because I don't like cars! I want to ride a horse once:)

  9. I think Amish living too simply.

    I can't understand why they can't have picture and flowers.

    In my house, some pictures and flowers are displaying.

    There are make my family happy.

    But Amish can't keep memory as a shape.And can't feel good smell of flowers.

    So I can't live as a Amish.

    I think the living of Amish people is not bad so much. When I saw pictures on this blog, I felt that they look happy in the nature. I thought they really enjoy their life in the nature. But as for me, I can't live like them. I can't understand that there is no electricity at all. At least, I want them to exist a watch or a radio. Moreover, I may not be able to make fire without a lighter.

    In my opinion, I can't live with them. However, I want to live only one day if I can make fire, or I can carry some portable machine.

    I like this life because we don’t need study and we have many food. I think the farm work will be very happy. I was born in city and live in city. So I have been looking forward to the farm life. If my family and my friends go there with me. I can try. Many poepile said it’s very boring. Hundreds of years ago, people didn’t have television and computer, but they are happy too. So I think the life will be not too boring.

  16. I had a experience like Amish people's life.
    It was so hard for me because I can't use cellphone, and also I can't listening to music etc.

    But, Kenya said " They look happy. They enjoy having a natural life!" So I can't decide Amish is bad or good(*_*)

    1. Yuki-

      I agree with you. It is hard to decide if it is good or bad. Sometimes I want to runaway and live like the Amish where life is simple, but I know I will become bored quickly and want to enjoy the excitement of the big city again.

    I think Amish lifestyle is bad. I couldn't live like Amish because I have too many important things in my life, such as, internet. I like Google and I love my iPhone very much. Not because I can play game on it, but because it help me connect with my good friends. I think I cannot live without electric. I need lights, refrigerator, microwave oven and so on. Keep away from Amish, keep my happiness - lol.
