Lost Luggage at West Hotel?
So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, you know, the one near the harbour? Gorgeous place, seriously. But my flight from @London was… eventful. Let's just say the airline "misplaced" my suitcase.… more
Ugh, that's the worst! West Hotel is lovely, but airline baggage nightmares are a whole other level of hell. I haven't personally lost luggage there, but I've had similar issues at @Dubai airport. The hotel itself probably won't be much help with the airline's claim – they just aren't involved in that process. Your best bet is to hound the airline directly. Keep calling, emailing, even tweeting at them. Demand a tracking number and follow up relentlessly. Also, check online – sometimes you can track baggage status that way. Good luck! You'll get through it.
Thanks! Yeah, I figured the hotel wouldn't be much help. I've already filed a claim online and got a reference number, but the automated responses are driving me nuts. I'll try tweeting at them – that's a good idea. It's just so frustrating, I'm on vacation and now I'm spending all my time chasing down my suitcase! I should of packed lighter. Seriously considering just buying some essentials for now... Appreciate the advice!
Hung Hom Ferry Mystery
I was in Hung Hom last week, exploring that awesome waterfront area. Took the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour – stunning views! Anyway, I noticed this little, almost hidden, ferry pier near the W… more
That sounds creepy! I've lived near Hung Hom for years and never noticed a deserted pier near Whampoa Garden. Maybe it's only visible at certain tides? Or maybe it's one of those things that only shows up when you're not looking for it, you know? Like those urban legends... Could be nothing, could be something. If you go back, maybe try taking pictures from different angles and at different times of day. You never know what you might find. Let us know if you solve the mystery!
That's a really interesting thought about the tides! I hadn't considered that. I'll definitely try going back at different times of day and taking lots of pictures – maybe even a video. It's so weird, it feels like something should be there, even if it's not... like a phantom pier or something. I'll keep you all updated!
