i'm sure this question has been asked here before but the search feature on dave's is pretty shoddy.
my buddy and me are looking for different protein-shake kinda things such as pro-lab or metrx.
as usual, it's korea and we don't know where to start. any ideas? |

| Import markets; there's one on the side of the road opposite the Hyundai department store in Sinchon (look for the shop with lots of liquors, it's the top of a covered, slightly underground arcade), another at exit 1 of Namdaemun (a separate building called "Suip samga" I think, rainbows or smiley face logos on the side of the building), or the "Red door shop" in Itaewon (never been). |

| I saw protein powder (I can't remember what brand - also I didn't look closely at it, so I don't know what sort of quality it is) and creatine powder at the Namdaemun import market. Good luck. |

Namdemun, Hoehwa subway stop on the blue line (not far from Seoul Station). Namdemun Market. There's a tourist info kiosk open in the daytime. Can't miss it, middle of the pedestrian road mid-market. Ask where the foreign goods market part is. It's down a ramp, and underground, like 'catacombs'/competing stalls. Cheapest I've seen protein powder/nutritional supplements, and big variety.
Walmart has Joe Weider protein powder. |

Anyway...The subway stop for Namdaemun market is actually "Hoehyeon" or some such romanization - between Seoul Station and Myeong-dong Station.
Careful, though. If you find a vendor whose stuff is good, try to go back to him because I've know folks who bought protein there and it was spoiled. I've never had a problem, but I usually buy from the same guy. |

Pyongshin, while you were up there in you're roid rage tearing the wings off a seagull it crossed your mind getting into boomeranging, didn't it. I can help.  Even so, I squashed a bug today. But it helps. |

KoreanLifer gets an "A". Bodybuilding.com is the place to go. Even with the shipping charges it is pretty cheap, especially if you buy a 3 months supply or more. Plus they have everything that you could possibly want in terms of supplements.
Good nutrition/training articles at this site as well. |

best thing about it is that i posted it whilst trying to sober up in a PC bang. i woke up with a weird "oh crap, did i say something completely retarded on dave's last night?" panic attack - they're terrifying, these panic attacks.
then my internet came back on yesterday, i checked it and i realized that no, it was just me being a ninja. again. |
