Haenyeo Museum- 해녀 박물관

On valentine's day we went to Haenyeo Museum. Haenyeo(women divers ) only exist in Jeju Island and Japan. They are also called "Jamnyeo",and both terms refer to women who gather seaweed, abalone(전복), or other shellfish from the sea. Because of the very uniqueness of much attention from around the world. Haenyeo are the symbol of Jeju women as they were the bulwark of Jeju's economy, going on long expeditions to Japan as well as other parts of Korea. A strong tenacious hold on life and pioneering spirit is characteristic of the haenyeo.
