To any Pusanites out there -

Hi - was wondering if anyone could help out.

First though, yes I am aware there is a website called pusanweb. I just thought I'd try this route also.

Second, yes I am aware there is a shopping place called Lotte Department Store, E-Mart, HomePlus etc. And I have heard of the mail order concept.

So any potential haters - please, no need to get on an "accept other cultures" or "you're not in America anymore" soapbox here - because that ain't what this is about at all.

I am aware that Pusan stores sell shampoo, dental floss and clothes - but I do like certain American brands. Is that so awful?

So, does anyone know of any Pusan stores that sell -- Selsun Blue shampoo and Crest toothpaste?

Also, (and I realize this is highly doubtful) any stores that sell clothes by Gap, J Crew, Banana Republic, Express or Eddie Bauer here?

I know Lotte sells brands like Ralph Lauren, but I've also noticed how much they jack up the prices!

If the tone of this sounds defensive, it's because I've seen some people on this site jump on others for asking perfectly reasonable questions. I'm not Paris Hilton. There already are plenty of Korean brands I like. But when it comes to the stuff listed above, I value my time and want to make shopping quick and simple.

Many thanks -
