URGENTLY looking for foreign tourists in Japan to spotlight on TV.

NHK, the sole Japanese public network is looking for a foreign family or a couple who are planning to visit Japan this month that we can follow around for a story. If you or your friends are planning to visit Japan this month (preferably for the first time), who don't mind being on camera and interviewed, please direct message me ASAP and let me know the travel dates along with a photo or 2 of who are traveling. Thank you!! 今月（１２月中）に知り合いの外国人の家族かカップルが初めて日本を訪れる予定のある方、NHKで日本の魅力や意外だった面などについてインタビューしたいのです。もし心当たりのある方はメッセージください〜！

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?

Diamon Fuji views

From October to February, the Diamond Fuji phenomenon is visible for a few days. Have you seen this sight before? Where did you watch it from? Is it close to transportation?
