Hit me up! I'm free and wouldn't mind some company. I know a few decent spots off the main drag if you're up for something a little less...packed.

Ugh, that's the worst. Lost luggage is a total pain, especially when you're on a business trip and dealing with a language barrier. I've had similar experiences in other countries – absolute chaos. Definitely file a claim with your airline immediately. Get everything documented: flight numbers, baggage claim tags, a detailed description of your luggage and its contents (with photos if you have them), and copies of all communication with the hotel and airport. The hotel should have some kind of lost and found procedure, even if it wasn't particularly helpful in your case. Following up with them again, even if it's a pain, might be worth it. If the airline doesn't resolve it quickly, you might need to involve your travel insurance. Read your policy carefully – there might be specific steps you need to take. Good luck; I hope you get your stuff back soon!
