The visor is actually an evolutionary developement. While many assume that the visor can be removed its actually rooted into the ajumma's head.
It can be traced back to duckbill dinosaures. |

I just had to explain to my (thank god non-visor wearing) co-teacher why I burst out laughing.
Thanks for that. |

| I realize that phenomena such as the change of seasons, traffic on the streets, pedestrians on the sidewalks, other people occupying the same elevator/escalator/subway seem to come as a perpetual surprise to the locals, but surely their ancient lore has prepared them for the oncoming of ...the Sun. No doubt their ancestors didn't possess plastic bookboxes to shield them from those nasty rays. (The ajumas have it down; with the visors and the waddle, they resemble ducks off to a feeding.) But what is up with the younger women, who, frankly, would look sexier sporting a pair of Ray-Bans than clutching a chunk of plastic or paper over their little eyes? Is there some cultural caveat about shielding one's eyes from the sun in such a blatant manner as to be effective? Did Confucious have something to say on this topic? I'm mighty curious. |
