Comments on No more price hikes for the time being
hey, dont no whether u have mentioned this or not, in china, we are not allowed to use plastic bags from June, 1st, 2008. and nowadays ppl started to talk about this, maybe u can make a video clip concerning this and check out what ppl really want and expect or whether they are willing to accept this change.
:)
