No immigration story is simple. If she was interviewed perhaps there would far more ambivalence in her story about moving to the U.S. than Americans would be comfortable hearing. :-)<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-56877775879580572572012-05-18T09:10:19.007+02:002012-05-18T09:10:19.007+02:00And thank you so much for reading and following th...And thank you so much for reading and following the Flophouse. I love doing this blog and the idea that other people find it interesting and enjoy reading it is so good to know (and a bit humbling as well). I was not so sure about this post but you've reassured me that it did resonate and was useful. <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-2613475649056131852012-05-17T02:12:17.962+02:002012-05-17T02:12:17.962+02:00I have enjoyed reading all of your blog posts over...I have enjoyed reading all of your blog posts over the past year.

In fact a higher percentage of Canadian citizens living in Hong Kong were actually born in Canada than Canadian citizens living in Canada. Canada will NEVER allow its overseas citizens to vote because certain constituencies such as in Vancouver and surrounding areas(i.e. Richmond, Burnaby, Maple Ridge) would have half of their population living outside the country.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894651289037073128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-37784814036521266042012-05-16T21:14:39.719+02:002012-05-16T21:14:39.719+02:00Victoria,
