The weather is getting warmer, and I'm looking to be more secure down south when I's exercising.

Where can a hungarian get a jock strap in Korea? (No, joke, I really wanna know because I don't wanna get tragically injured in an exercise accident). Shocked

And is there a more fully stocked GNC (General Nutritional Centers) in Korea that carry more of the same stuff as in States? I'm looking for something there for my wife she seems to buy often.

Don't know about the jock strap, but Lotte Department Store in Daejeon has a nice GNC store on B1 level. There are also several GNCs in Seoul, but I don't know there locations.

GNCs are ridiculously overpriced here. Have a friend help you order through www.mass119.co.kr and get a great deal there.

Check around Dongdaemun stadium for your junk armor...I'm pretty sure I've seen exercise shops there that sell them.

*smacks head* I shoudda thought o' that.

But...uh, whadda ya say to the locals so's they know what in the hey you're talking about. I speak fairly decent Korean, but I have no idea what to call it or how to describe it so's that they understand and not think I'm some perv.

Know what I mean, Verne?

I remember they made us wear a jock strap when
I was in junior high. (I'm so old they didn't have middle schools.)
I don't really see the advantage over briefs.

I don't own briefs, but if they were tight enough to keep my extremeties from playing around when I am, then I'm wearing them way too tight.

That tight and then they are no fun for usual wear: either making your voice too pitched or keeping your kids too warm, 24/7 Shocked
