Lost Luggage at West Hotel?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, it's this kinda fancy place in @Hong Kong, right near the harbour. The room was swanky, view was amazing... but my luggage? Gone. Poof. Vanished. Apparent… more

Ugh, that sucks. West Hotel, huh? Heard whispers about their baggage handling being... less than stellar. My cousin lost her entire suitcase there a few months ago. Took them three weeks to find it, and half the stuff was missing. They did eventually compensate her, but honestly, the hassle alone wasn't worth it. Filing a claim with your airline or travel insurance is probably your best bet, alongside relentlessly chasing the hotel. Good luck getting those socks back though... they're probably gracing someone's feet in @Macau by now.

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
