  "content": "<p>Hello admin, </p>\n\n<p>Recently, I plan to use this dataset for Interdependent preferences related studies and its related to <strong>spatial autoregressive</strong> discrete-choice model. Unfortunately, the data description is not very clear and complete, especially for the <strong>location related variables</strong>. For example: &quot;visitor_location_country_id&quot; only has the country ID , which not contain the country names and exact location (e.g. longitude and latitude) of the customers. </p>\n\n<p>Could i get the more <strong>details of location related information</strong> in this dataset (like the zipcodes, longitude&amp; latitude) for further study?  </p>\n\n<p>Thank you for your answers in advance. </p>",
