In Tokyo, Japan, supplies are running low among the general public. Everyone's rushing to the stores to stock up, before possible power-outages and other feared disasters. Convenience stores, mini-marts, food-markets, super-stores, and drug-stores are completely crowded. Entrances are blocked by a sea of bicycles, and frantic shoppers. Stores among Tokyo are almost completely out of the following: diapers, baby food, baby products, meat, bread, dry-foods, instant foods, paper towels, batteries, flashlights, radios, and such. I've ventured around Tokyo to find that flashlights, baby-related products (especially diapers), toilet paper, and bread are completely no where to be found. I am thankful I have stocked up on most of the above, but am stuck with 100￥ store flashlights that won't last me long, in the event of black-outs.
