Ajuma Power.:.

Ireland has it's mystical creatures, Greece has it's plentiful Gods, America's got BigFoot, Scotland's got Nessie & I guess Korea has the Ajuma... with herAjuma Power. An Ajuma is an older Korean lady, Ajuma means "Mother". They rule this land. You can see it in their eyes & Ashley told me, if you look enough of them in the eye you gain some of this power. They are NOT ladies to mess with. They work the land. Control the men. aaand are greatly respected. The Ajuma.

Ajumas roam Korea in packs. The high class ladies wear visors over there faces when the sun is shining down on them or any means to shade their precious skin. The whiter your face, the more beautiful you are in Korean culture. It's a sign that you don't work the land and are rarely outdoors.


They are not shy about giving you the once over either. There is nothing like a disapproving stare from an Ajuma to make you feel uncomfortable. You can try to stare them down, but prepare to be sorely beaten. They can also elbow like a Thai fighter. Don't go downtown shopping on a Saturday afternoon if your not prepared to stand your ground when the herd of Ajumas invade the shops. They show no mercy. Bumping into you and pushing people out of your way is just a way of life here.

The working Ajumas work the fields or any plot of land they spot. Most are bent over permanently from working on crop fields. They are a force to be reckoned with.



Beware of the Ajuma.
P.s None of these pics are mine, as I'm afraid to take a picture of these scary creatures.
