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.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?

International cuisine that's hard to come by?

In my region - Chiba-Saitama - there are many Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese restaurants serving authentic flavours. Which international cuisines do you see underrepresented in your area? Have you found any rare gems in the Kanto region? I miss Greek/eastern Mediterranean food the most...
