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

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.
