At least they're smart and realize their service isn't anywhere near as good as the US, thus don't charge the US pricing.

I've had Prime for a while now (US), and The Grand Tour is excellent. A little too scripted for my taste, but excellent.

I think you get one month free every six months. Or something like that.

Go to Richmond. There's lots of people there that don't speak English. Only Mandarin.

Don't worry, North York where I live is already crowded of people that don't speak English or their native African
