Household income

Household income is a required answer on the "your details" of an user's area. Is this question really necessary? Can it be left blank? Can you still get the points if it is left blank!? Thank you

    Dear Saitama, To get those 50 points (indicated above Profile and Your Details in your user area) it's necessary to fill out all fields on both of those pages. However, this is only for the 50 points as indicated. It's not necessary to complete all the fields here to gain points for other actions. You'll still be awarded points for all the actions listed in your user area (blog posts e.t.c), if you choose not to. The only required fields in this case, are those indicated by red marks on the Profile form. The information you provide in your Profile and Your Details section is used to help us develop the best service we can for our users, as well as to direct any appropriate questionnaires to your user area, should you wish to answer them. Thanks for your important question Saitama. You can also have these questions addressed by sending us a message via the 'contact us' form here: https://www.city-cost.com/forms/contact See our privacy policy here: https://www.city-cost.com/pages/privacy Thanks again, City-Cost

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?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
