I definitely agree with you on this point, mkjr. In fact, I doubt you even need to know how to speak english in Vancouver or Richmond in order to have a normal life. The mainland population is definitely increasing compared to Hong Kong descent.

Thanks for the TR, I didn't know UA ever had a red-eye out of YVR. and nice to see a decent meal on the red-eye and of course Gold BP^
