    http://www.apple.com/jp/shop/gifts/new-year http://japanese.engadget.com/2016/12/25/apple-2017-1-2/ According to Apple and Engadget Japan website, there will be no "Lucky bag" in 2017. :(

    @KevinC Thank you. I was thinking that might be the case but hoping for something different.

    There wasn't one this year, but if you're around next year there are Japanese electronic stores that have lucky bags, like Bic Camera. It's obviously not the same as Apple, but if you're into other brands of electronics it might be up your alley!

    @Nednettinc Thanks for the tip. I wonder why they didn't have one this time?!

The newspaper and you!

Do you get a newspaper delivered to your house or buy one in a shop or subscribe to / read one daily online? Or just read it every now and then? Or can you not remember the last time you read the newspaper?

Japan's best bready offerings

You may have seen my recent blog, but Japan's kare pan was named one of the world's 50 best breads by CNN. What's your favorite bakery item here in Japan? Would love to hear your thoughts!

What's your favorite aspect of Japan's culture?

With Culture Day coming up next month, I'm curious to hear what tradition, habit, or value my fellow City-Cost bloggers most appreciate about living here. I know there's a lot to choose from, so if you have to mention a few things go right ahead!

Has life in Japan improved your body image?

I think overall I've become more accepting of my body during my years in Japan, and I would say a big part of that is because of onsen culture. It has made me realize that bodies are just that...bodies...and they come in all different shapes and sizes. I'm wondering how you feel about your own body image based on your time here. Has it helped or hindered your perception?
