I'll bet you can show the homeless people in Japan a thing or two. They retire shame-faced each night to their chosen cardboard box or bus-shelter. But you'll be making a pile of Yen on the street corner entertaining passers-by with your harmonica and tambourine.

Aside from falling asset prices and the fact that they've had a growth rate of less than 2% since 1990 (in spite of spending more than 110 trillion yen in 10 different spending programs in the 90's) and the fact that they have a huge national debt, nothing. In fact, IMO, they're 10 years ahead of us.
