Of course this is going to be generalization. However, as an Asian America growing up in USA but having roots in Taiwan, I have come to realize you just have to accept things the way they are. You can't expect NA and Europeans to match the level of service and efficiency of CX and HKG, but at the end, I would rather live in the comfort of high quality and standard of life in USA over HKG/Taiwan any day. Just have to take the good and the bad.

Thank goodness globalization is making that possible. So at least when we fly we can stick with CX, divert through ports like HKG, and minimize our pains as much as possible.
