TKMH: I'm living in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a city which very fast and has a lot of people inside a small city, so living density is very high. For this reason, product marketing is easy and all brand in the world would like to distribute their products to Hong Kong, that makes me able to see every new products once it launched.
