Where Can I Buy Packing/Shipping Boxes Online?

Hi, Does anyone know a website that I can buy blank packing/shipping boxes from? I want to send some (largeish) boxes of stuff overseas from Japan. I know I can buy them from garden and hardware stores like DAIKI, but I no longer have a car to bring them home in, so I am specifically looking for online places to order them from and have them delivered to my apartment. Does AMAZON JP sell them? Can anyone post a link or let me know the search term in Japanese?

    Since you're asking for blank, I suppose it's for commercial usages. Just in case it's personal-use and prints don't matter, I always recommend people to head to the closest "recycle collection sites" and grab those boxes for free lol.

Summer reading

I know there have been questions in the past about what we're watching, but I'm wondering what you're reading at the moment! I'm looking to get a few new books for summer and I'd love to hear if you have any recent recommendations. If you have any good spots here to get EN language books in person, too, I'd appreciate if you would share those as well!

Database error

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?
