it’s always been a dream to look for the Women of the Sea. did that in Japan, but now that i’m in Korea, why not look for them here? i heard about the Amasan here but had no idea where they were. after a little research, i took a subway, bullet train, local bus, and walked for a very long time. 
can you read that? neither can i! haha. the cool thing about traveling in countries like this is that sign language is international.. just point and you shall go…
after 2 trains, a local bus ride, and 4.5 hours, i finally arrived to the ocean! it was so beautiful! 
and there they were! the Amasan of Korea! the Women of the Sea! i was so excited to see them!!!
these grandma’s live the very simple life. live by the sea, and live off the sea. i think this is such an amazing way to live. very healthy, and very happy!
everything well organized. no electricity or no running water. everything provided by nature. 
the cool thing about here is you can actually eat their catch. just point and you will figure it out. once again, international sign language at its best! 
just to be able to see the Amasan was a dream for me. but having them prepare their catch right in front of you was a fantasy. the freshest seafood you can ever imagine. and with every bite, i thought i was in heaven! i think i’m in love with Korea! haha…
