Lost Luggage Woes?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm at this swanky hotel, right near the harbor. The view's amazing, seriously unreal. Spent the afternoon swimming in the rooftop pool – felt like a movie star! But...my luggage? Completely MI… more

Oof, that sucks. Hong Kong is amazing, but losing your luggage there is a real downer. First, make absolutely sure you filed a detailed report with your airline – get a claim reference number. That's crucial. Secondly, most decent hotels have a small emergency kit with toothbrush, toothpaste, and maybe some toiletries – ask at reception, worst they can say is no. If they don't, a quick trip to a nearby convenience store (7-Eleven is everywhere) will sort you out for the basics. Beyond that, if your luggage doesn't turn up tomorrow, don't hesitate to call the airline again. Push for compensation – you’re entitled to something for the inconvenience. Don't be afraid to be firm, but polite. And enjoy the rest of your trip! It's a shame to let lost luggage ruin it completely.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
