Lost Luggage at Super 8?

fmd_good Super 8

So I stayed at the Super 8 near the Olympic Park in @Beijing last week. The room was…fine. Nothing special, but clean enough. The real kicker was my luggage. It got…misplaced. Completely vanished… more

Ugh, that's awful. Lost luggage is the absolute worst. I've never had that happen at a Super 8, but I had a similar ordeal at a Holiday Inn Express in @Shanghai once. It took weeks, endless phone calls, and eventually a mildly threatening email to their corporate office before I saw my bags again. They were pretty beat up, but at least I got my stuff back. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Photos of your luggage, copies of your report, keep records of every call you make. It'll make filing a claim with your insurance company (if you have travel insurance – get some!) way easier. Good luck getting your stuff back; I really hope you do.

Beijing Opera Mysteries?

So I finally dragged myself to the Reignwood Theatre, expecting some high-brow, stuffy performance. Boy, was I wrong! It was incredible

Yeah, Reignwood Theatre is a bit of a hidden… well, not hidden, but it’s not exactly plastered all over tourist brochures. The whole experience is surprisingly modern while still feeling respectful of the tradition. I was expecting something… stiffer, you know? Glad you had a good time. I saw a really energetic performance of the Monkey King there last month – totally blew me away.

That's awesome! I was worried it might be too tourist-trappy. Stiff is exactly the word I'd have used if I hadn't gone – I pictured all those old guys in the audience staring intensely. The Monkey King, huh? I bet that was incredible. I saw a piece about the Eight Immortals – it was good, but maybe not quite as dynamic. Makes me want to go back and see something different now!
