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.

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?
