Will I know if my profile and details were properly completed?

I've filled out "My profile" and "Your details" on my personal user area, but it still shows a prompt to fill them out on the left hand side. Is that due to a time lag, or is it because it isn't recognising them as filled out.

    Dear Saitama. Thank you for your questions. The details required in your 'My profile' are indicated by the red marks. The remaining details, including those in the 'Your details' form, need only be filled in if you wish to earn the extra 50 points (indicated above those two fields on your user area). Once you have filled these fields in full, the 50 points should no longer be displayed. However, those forms remain open, should you wish to make any changes. You can check the total number of points you have acquired on the top right corner of your user area. As long as you have filled out those details as indicated by the red mark, you should be receiving points as normal for the actions listed on your user area (blog posts e.t.c). If this is not happening or you have any further questions regarding administration of the site, please don't hesitate to contact us using the contact form at the link below (you can also find it at the bottom of the homepage). https://www.city-cost.com/forms/contact Thanks again, Saitama.

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.
