My problem as a westerner living in Asia for a couple of years, is that the type of retail products that I'm interested in (API's for various things from financial exchanges to consumer goods/services) that are available in the US and are actively marketed, aren't really available to retail users in Asia, and it's really hard to get people to care about it even while they are pitching you to use their mobile app/website. I know it might not be the best thing to say, but i'm glad that the global economy is starting another downturn with major industries that have provided a boon starting to lose the impact it's had because it will incentivize the marginal person to pursue new opportunities because they no longer have enough economic uplift.
