I do, but it's a hassle using it every time I want to access some blocked site. I have already learned to just live without blocked things.
For my Google stuff (like apps on my Android phone), I visit Hong Kong/Singapore enough that my apps and such are up to date. For other Google stuff like Gmail, well I have a US phone that's always roaming, so nothing really blocked on that.

I also avoid this route but ... (and i'm guessing here) I suspect OP is going to use his/her AA/AS miles in which case OP should go for this route because on a return ticket, I think OP will get four sets of amenities and four sets of PJs (and therefore four gifts from PYE)? You know ... 'maximizing' the benefits.
In any case on our last crossing SFO-HKG//HKG-DPS, spouse did not want to take the PJ and just left the package on the plane (when flying he prefers sleeping in shorts than in the PJ and never changes into PJ in flight.) I only found that out after the fact. We never go to PYE for the "gifts" - Exactly what it is?

Absolutely agree. We had that a year ago, on top of that we had to have several hours layover at JFK as the CX arrival is barely over an hour for the AA connection in another terminal! We vowed NEVER do it again.
i do not remember they hand out PJs again on the YVR-JFK portion.
