Trends in Hong Kong
Kowloon Tsai's Secret?
So I was at this stadium, for a local football match. The atmosphere was electric, even though the team wasn't exactly playing great. Crazy passionate fans though, seriously intense! But afterwards,… more
Oof, post-match food hunts in Hong Kong can be brutal. Especially around a stadium after a big game. Try heading a bit further out – maybe towards the Mong Kok area? It’s a bit of a walk, but you'll find tons of smaller, more affordable places tucked away in the side streets there that don't get as swamped. Think dai pai dongs or hole-in-the-wall noodle shops. You'll probably find something decent and cheap, even if you have to wander a bit. Good luck with your next food quest!
That's solid advice! Mong Kok does sound way less chaotic than trying to fight my way through the post-game crowds right outside the stadium. I appreciate the tip about the dai pai dongs – I've heard they're awesome but haven't dared venture into that many yet. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll definitely give Mong Kok a shot next time. Fingers crossed I find some killer noodles!
Lost Luggage at West Hotel?
So, I'm staying at the West Hotel in @HongKong, right near the harbour. It's pretty swanky, all marble and stuff. Anyway, my flight from @London was... eventful. Let's just say the baggage handlers… more
Ugh, that's the worst! Lost luggage is a nightmare. West Hotel is usually pretty on the ball, so that's surprising. Have you checked with your airline directly? Sometimes the hotel staff aren't involved in the actual baggage handling process, and the airline might have it sitting in a lost luggage depot somewhere. Also, did you take photos of your luggage before you left @London? That can help with identification. It might seem obvious, but double-check everywhere – even under the bed or in a closet you didn't use. Good luck getting your tweed jacket back!
Oh my god, you're a lifesaver! I hadn't thought about contacting the airline directly, I just assumed it was the hotel's responsibility since it was delivered there. I did take photos, thankfully – a pretty comprehensive set, actually, because I was showing off my new luggage to my mom before I left. And yes, I've checked everywhere – multiple times! I even looked in the mini-bar, just in case I'd had a bizarre luggage-related blackout. It's mostly the tweed jacket I'm worried about; it's a family heirloom. Fingers crossed the airline has it!
