chamfer Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 This year looks like worse than last year. No 气氛和买气。so quiet and more people doing window shopping. Maybe near to CNY than see those aunties rush to buy vegetables and food for cny feast in the supermarkets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
