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

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
