Reply #33: I went to another supermarket today

[Art_from_Ark]

It was in a neighboring city and their shelves were fuller than the ones at the first supermarket. LIke the other store, though, they were all out of milk, and there was a sign posted that limited each person to one 1-liter carton. Rice was in short supply, too, as were packages of Maruchan-type ramen. There were notices posted here and there in the store apologizing for the lack of certain goods due to the earthquake.

It has been a sunny day so far today (it's nearly 4:00 in the afternoon right now). I put on a surgical mask and rode my bicycle through part of the city. There were small signs of earthquake damage here and there, but people were going about their business-- some were jogging, working in their gardens, walking their dogs, playing with their kids in parks... Some were wearing surgical masks, others weren't. It seemed like a typical Sunday, except there weren't as many cars on the road.
