Quoted from a press release I got weeks ago.

 

"Creating new records for “luxuriousness” MasterCard Luxury Week Hong Kong 2008 organisers recorded some stunning statistics over the five-day extravaganza:

Ø Over 6000 VIP guests attended MasterCard Luxury Week Hong Kong 2008 including 200 Celebrities and socialites who walked the red carpet.

Ø The models walked a collective distance of 38.5km along the catwalk
