The Costco thread got me thinking about where I can find western goods (soft taco shells, taco mix, other goodies) in the Busan area. Now that I've moved to the south, I'm a considerable distance from Seoul, and occasionally get to Busan. So is there a red door type of place that is easy to find for folks who don't know Busan well? I think I saw a thread about this months ago, but the search function isn't working for me now...so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be obliged.

Yes, I researched this too and came up empty handed. I asked around and didn't find any thing other than the tiny PX in the Seamans club where you can get American soap and Reeses peanut butter cups. Despite Busan being a large city, I didn't see much international things other than Starbucks.

If anyone stands to correct me on this, I would be very happy to learn about any stores or markets that sell the goods we want.

What khyber said. But you might as well just go to Costco in Daegu

there's a market in nampodong called "Gukje market" which literally means international market. Don't go there myself much but heard it's got a lot of western foods and alcohols for fairly cheap. I friend of mine buys all her oatmeal there. I think they must get alotta stuff from the U.S. army base or something. Anyways, might be worth a look if u want some western goods. Its only about a 10 minute walk away from the nampodong subway stop.
