The most underrated thing(s) about life in Japan?
I'm curious to get some of your thoughts. I know there's a lot on social media about Japan that is perhaps overrated, but I'd love to get your opinions of what is underrated about life in Japan. One that came to mind for me is the cost of glasses/eyewear. My entire family are glasses/contacts wearers, and we can get glasses here so much cheaper than in my home country. Let me know your thoughts!

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.

Summer reading
I know there have been questions in the past about what we're watching, but I'm wondering what you're reading at the moment! I'm looking to get a few new books for summer and I'd love to hear if you have any recent recommendations. If you have any good spots here to get EN language books in person, too, I'd appreciate if you would share those as well!
