Would you like an event section?

I think I probably asked this about 8 years ago! But would you like to see an event section on City-cost? Also, do you like when people share event information on the site or would you rather they didn't? The photo is just for colour!

    I actually think it could be a useful addition to the site. It's one of the things I have to visit different websites other than City-Cost to find out about, so I think it would be cool to have them incorporate something like that here. I also think since we have members from different corners of Japan, it would give some unique perspective about events that might not be as big as ones in major cities. I personally like those kinds of events better, when they're not as crowded or well-known!

    Lovely idea! As it is, I occasionally post about events in my region. But I think they get lost in the mix. It would be great to have a category with location tags. For now, I'll keep blogging events, putting the location in the title.

Foreign exchange

Does your local bank do foreign exchange? If yes, do you have to be a member of the bank to use the service? If no, where do you do foreign exchange for cash?

If you were the PM of Japan, how would you positively change work-life balance here?

My recent blog about Sanae Takaichi's promise that "I will work, work, work, work and work" sending the wrong message to Japanese society got me thinking. If you were the PM of Japan, how would you positively change work-life balance here?

Give me all your soup recipes

One thing I love as the weather gets cooler here is SOUP SEASON! Nothing better than a comforting and nourishing bowl of something yummy, and even better if it reheats well for leftovers. Do you have any favorite soup recipes for the colder months? Please feel free to share your recommendations to expand my cooking repertoire!
