Where is the best place to get Western foods in Gwangju, or Jeollanamdo for that matter, anywhere good?

[just because]

If i go overseas I get the following

*Colgate Toothpaste preferably Mint
*Good deoderant
*LISTERINE!!!!(the Korean crap sucks)
*Tim Tams
*Any Australian chocolate, Cherry Ripe is a good pick.

Thats all i miss. i love Asian and Korean food so cheese isn't a worry to me.

cant live without hummus, so i try to make it as often as i can, ( it can get a little expensive, ad tahini is a little difficult to find).

The only things I miss are marmite, a proper roast beef dinner with yorkshire puddings and a good soda bread breakfast (these two are only missed occasionaly after drinking too much on a saturday).

Luckily whenever I have a visitor from my company I get them to bring me marmite. So normally have a few jars floating round.

I used to crave hummus, too. Then I found a store that sells dry chickpeas and I was in business. Tahini isn't a problem. It's just crushed sesame seeds and a little oil. I make hummus about three times a month and munch it with ZEC crackers almost every night.

I used to miss gingerbread because I could never find molasses here. So I 'invented' it. I mix that really dark brown sugar with corn syrup. It does just fine. On cool fall evenings, few things beat the smell of gingerbread baking in the oven. Yum!

Yeah... The hardest thing is knowing where everything is, seeing though a lot of the stores swap and change things depending on the direction of the wind.
