The Monday Read

Christmas dinner edition

Was putting this post together while cooking Christmas dinner this week. Not sure the multi-tasking helped either of those, but the dinner was one of the best I have ever done, and I’ll let you be the judge of how this post comes out 🙂

This week’s links

1. Very interesting salary information: The NTA’s 2018 Private-Sector Salary Survey
2. Some interesting graphs: Charts of the Decade
3. This seems sensible. The whole family is trying to get my MIL to give up her license at the moment: Elderly drivers in Japan would have to pass test to renew licenses under bill
4. I’m trying to get more quality in my life. Recently we discovered nice butter, which costs twice as much as normal butter but just makes life better so is definitely worth it… Quality
5. I think Japan has a long way to go on this one: Snubbed by foreigners, Japan revamps blue-collar work visa program
6. Think I had mine already: My New Goal in Life: Avoid a Mid-Life Crisis

Phew. Short and sweet this week. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all 😀
