Cheap surf board rental in Chiba

Just looking for an idea where I can rent a surf board in Chiba (preferably in Onjuku Beach or Ichinomiya Beach) at a cheap price. Thank you!

@Tomuu is the surfing expert around here - can you weigh in on this one?

I'd have to look into this to be aware of specific places. What I will say though, is that now the beaches are "open" and the universities soon to break up for the hols, there should be no problem finding places to rent boards, especially in Onjuku and Ichinomiya. As an example though http://flyingsumo.jp/surf-lessons/ has board rental for 4,000 yen a day which seems reasonable to me (and they have English-language info on the site). If you're a beginner or fairly new to surfing, I would choose Onjuku over Ichinomiya. A lot of Japan's pros and experts frequent the Ichinomiya area so it can get quite competitive in the waters around there. Onjuku is much more user friendly (although less reliable for waves).

@Tomuu Thank you! I guess I'd pick Onjuku Beach then. :)

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.
