The FA was from some mandarin prevalent city as well, because her accent was Beijing hua.
Heh, well you've definitely out-cultured me. You just seemed to be implying that the PAX should have been speaking to the FA in the same language because they were both Chinese. I didn't pick up that you were aware that they both spoke the same language as well.
