Ben and Jerry Ice Cream

So this is very random, but I really want to try Ben and Jerry's new Netflix and Chilled ice cream, but I am not sure if I can find it in Japan... Have any of you ever seen it here? If so, where? Please help my ice cream craving XD

I tried searching on their website since they have a store locator, but each time I put in Tokyo, for instance, it's just reverting back to the nearest place in the States that sells it. I will keep my eyes out, though - from the flavor description online it sounds amazing...hope they release it here!

I've read somewhere that Ben and Jerry's is giving up their business in Japan. There was a time when I used to spend about 5000 yen a month on Ben and Jerry's.

This is so random but today on Reddit, someone posted about possible getting a divorce and someone commented that he should go get Ben and Jerry ice cream to feel better. I’ve been craving it all day. And now I’m seeing you post from 2 months ago and now I’m mad again.

I believe that it’s’ pretty good so I can pretty recommend this. I know that there are people who will not really place it as a strong contender for top ice creams but make sure that you’re doing well here. Make sure that you’re getting a flavour that you like

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.
