Sea Gypsies
Sea Gypsies also known as Bajau Laut or Moken are semi-nomadic Austronesian people who live in the Maritime Southeast Asia. They usually live seaborne lifestyle, and use small wooden sailing vessels such as "perahu" or "leap-lepa". A peaceable people, today their maritime existence that recognises no national boundaries is endangered. Their semi-nomadic number have been diminished in recent years due to political and post-tsunami regulations. A few Sea Gypsies families however still sail across the turquoise water of the Southeast Asia Maritime in their "perahu" for 7 or 8 months of the year. For Sea Gypsies, the ocean is their entire universe!
