Lost Luggage at West Hotel?
So, I'm staying at the West Hotel in @HongKong, and let me tell you, it's...opulent. Seriously, gold leaf EVERYWHERE. Anyway, my flight was a nightmare – delayed for hours, then they lost my bag. T… more
Oh man, that sucks about your Godzilla! Gold leaf everywhere sounds amazing, though, until your luggage goes missing. The hotel staff being helpful is a huge plus. Definitely keep pushing them – they should have procedures in place for lost luggage. File a claim immediately with your airline, and get everything in writing. Pictures of the contents of your bag (before and, if possible, after you find it) are super important, especially for that irreplaceable Godzilla. If the airline doesn't get your bag back, your travel insurance might cover it – check the fine print. Good luck getting your scaly friend back!
Seriously, thanks! I hadn't thought about travel insurance – I'll check that ASAP. The hotel is being helpful, but it's the waiting that's killing me. That Godzilla was a gift from my grandpa... it's not just the monetary value, you know? I'll take all those pictures, good call. Fingers crossed!
Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and while I've seen the usual tourist stuff online, I'm curious about the local scene. I've heard whispers of amazing hidden food stalls tucked aw… more
Forget the tourist traps. Head down to the backstreets near the Taikoo Shing estate. There are tons of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away in the residential areas there. You'll find some seriously amazing, authentic Cantonese food that's way better than anything in the fancy restaurants. Don't be afraid to wander – that's where the real gems are. Look for places with lots of locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't expect fancy menus or Instagrammable decor; the best food often comes from the simplest places. Prepare for some seriously delicious, messy, and unforgettable eats!
