Christmas popcorn tin

does anyone know where I could possibly buy the tri-flavored popcorn tins I used to get as a kid? I know walmart has them available even still but only around christmas time. Seeing as I can't just stop in at walmart, would anyone know where I might find them. I don't even know where to look online.

    For online, maybe Amazon has it. I usually order overseas products there. For stores, costco, yamaya, kaldi, or jupiter.

    I had a quick look on the Costco website but it doesn't look like the Japan stores sell them - that was my initial thought. Amazon US does have it but naturally the shipping costs here are exorbitant, so I wouldn't personally go down that route unless it's an absolute must-have.

    I just saw a popcorn place in a mall that smelled amazing. Super expensive but more fresh than Walmart? It's called ギャレットポップコーンショップス - Garrett Popcorn. The closest one to you might be in Kitasenju, but they have an online store too: https://garrettjapan.official.ec/

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita
