Original Toronto Star caption: They're here! Wide-eyed with excitement, two Vietnamese boys sip soft drinkgs (top) as they wait to reboard the plane that brought them to Toronto from Vancouver last night. Ten-year-old Hong Quon Wa is all smiles as she chats with Immigration Minister Ron Atkey and one young man has good news written all over his face as well as his chest.
