Maybe you have already known that the  rumors that iodized salt could help guard against radiation poisoning triggered panic buying of salt last Thursday. It was reported that when some Japanese heard that they commented that it was inconceivable for the Chinese to do that and they thought that the Chinese were not reasonable enough.

It was so happened that one of my colleagues ran out of salt at that very day and she had great difficulty in getting one bag of salt. Today, I heard that one guy who lives in the same building with me paid 22 yuan for one bag of salt which would be priced at 1.50 yuan in any supermarket.

Could you share your experiences or could you tell us some other funny stories you heard? What do you think of the panic?
