Amazon vouchers and City Cost

I want to earn Amazon vouchers with City-cost.com but I don't use Twitter. I can make lots of blog posts, but will that earn me points? Is being active on this site fruitless unless you use Twitter? I somehow hooked up this city-cost account with my facebook; I also entered my birthday and all sorts of other information while filling out the surveys--what's the privacy policy? Am I selling my soul for an amazon voucher?

    Dear maynestacy, Thank you for joining us at City-Cost, and for your recent blog posts. I'm sure they'll be useful for other users. Of course, yours and any other user's blog posts are given points redeemable for Amazon vouchers, regardless of any campaign we may be running. You can see what other actions are given points on your profile page, as well as keep track of how many points you have. The current campaign we are running is being conducted through Twitter, as such part of the entry requirement is to retweet and share entries on that forum. We do plan to run further campaigns in the future using other mediums. (Of course, if you wish to create a Twitter account and join the campaign you are still able to do that). In regards to any personal information given on City-Cost (in any section); none of this will be shared or disclosed without gaining your consent first. You can find our privacy policy at the link below: https://www.city-cost.com/pages/privacy If you have any further questions with regards to anything on City-Cost please ask at any time.

    You may be selling your soul for an Amazon voucher, but with said voucher you can buy cheese. Worth it.

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?

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?
