City-Cost platform

Your platform is totally fucked up and unreliable. Some blogs I have no problem with, the next blog doing the exact same formatting and I can't post it. What's up? I'm looking for reliability and consistency. If it gets really reliable I suggest a fee for bloggers like myself who have some really serious material to blog. And you need a larger catagory base to choose from.

TCWest, We understand your frustration, sometimes these tech issues can be really annoying. We are a new platform though, with limited human resources and budget at this stage, so these things will crop up from time to time. However, we appreciate the feedback and apologise for the inconvenience. In terms of sorting out the issue with you uploading your posts, the best thing to do would be to send us a message via the contact form (https://www.city-cost.com/forms/contact) with the details of what problems occur, and we'll get our engineer on it as soon as possible. Thank you.

JanglishJerry: Already have a blog, two of them in fact. One with over 7 million reads/views. They are tools for expansion for serious bloggers. I url hyper link my blog to my posts at City-Cost. City-Cost is another social media vehicle that could be a wonderful point of access.

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.
