Signs of the apocalypse?

The Japanese economy is tanking, and we're seeing fresh signs of trouble in our banker- and expat-friendly neighborhood:

"For Rent" signs in clothing shops.


The pricey "Ice Bar," where customers drank vodka in a freezing room and at a bar made entirely of ice, has gone out of business.


A homeless person on the street.


And grafitti outside a local building.
