  • Why you don't write in the description?
  • Because Aldi1 edited this tag in English and I just want to add what I knew from Chinese which I first wrote 6 months ago.
  • Teresa, you so kind! You can always change "my" tags! Once I have created a tag, I have given it to all people who are interested and they're not "mine" anymore. 19jp87-Good argument and good occasion to develop cooperation skills!
