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.

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?
