My girlfriend and I are moving to Busan in about a month. We will be living in Guseo, near PNU. We tend to shy away from meat (although we do eat it) and are slightly predisposed towards healthier eating (whole grains, fruits, veggies, etc), basically no (or minimal) processed foods. Our question was to the availability of health foods (organics, supplements, juices, smoothies, etc) in Busan. Are their any stores? Herbal marts? Naturopathic treatments, etc? Also, has anyone bought a juicer or a blender, I would imagine they would be available (i believe the juicer I have at home was actually made in Korea). Also, I have seen a lot of Indian type places posted- what about veggie friendly stuff, or Japanese food (they didn't all close with the Liancourt fiasco?). I don't mean to sound like a prickly anal prude, we do love Korean food (especially seafood), and we drink like fish also, but it would be nice to balance our usual debaucheries with a seemingly healthy diet. Any info, or health food connisours? Maybe we can potluck it up in Guseo in a month or so. Thanks.

Organics: Every major supermarket has an organic section theses days.

Hey, I was happy to recently find a little (and I mean very little) organics shop on my street. They sell unpasteurized milk and free range eggs, soy products such as ice cream and tofu and meat replacementy sasaugey things, organic apples, bananas and some veges, have a limited range of supplements (supplements are weirdly over priced in Korea), honey, herbal teas, dish washing / laundry detergent that won't kill fish and other bits and pieces. I was really happy to find it.

Go to Oncheonjang subway stop (one away from PNU) go across the overpass bridge to homeplus - go through or around homeplus so that you end up on the other side of homeplus, the entrance side. Walk up the street directly ahead of you and directly away from the front entrance of Homeplus / CGV / Skyview building (its all one building). Walk up that street for about fifty meters and on your right (you will have to keep an eye out) there is a cute little place with a green sign and a rock salt crystal lamp inside the entrance.
