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!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
