Bad news… One of my suitcases is not traveling with me. One suitcase is full of my clothes and the other one has a lot of university business materials. This flight will make it to Hong Kong in two hours, and I am staying there for one night, technically 12 hours, and then will head to Bangkok. I am wondering where I should receive the suitcase, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, or Hong Kong? At this moment, I do not know which suitcase is coming with me and it is not easy to say I do not need either of one, but I need to tell American Airlines where to receive it.

I do not know….I guess receiving it in HCM sounds the safest, but what can I do in Bangkok? I hope the suitcase will be coming in the next flight, which is arriving a few hours later…

On stepping aside the airplane, in leas than 10 seconds, warm air came over to my face. Yes, I feel I am not in the cold place anymore. Immigration was easy, no question and no conversation. No, suitcase did not come, the one with university materials. Cathay Pacific ground clue was extremely kind and polite, and I lost interests in arguing with the 40sh ground serviceman, and first of all, this is not his fault nor Cathay’s, but it is American Airline’s. The man gave me a receipt and apologized deeply and told me that he would do his best, which seems very honest and reliable.
I did not sleep for more than 24 hours
