Today, after being turned away at the check-in counter for China Airlines at Taoyuan airport in Taiwan for my flight to Seoul because my passport backing broke off from my visa pages, I mentally resigned myself to three more weeks of Shin Yeh and beef noodles. It wouldn’t have been that hard, except for my trip to Japan…
After being issued an emergency passport in about 3 hours (!), I went back to Taoyuan, checked in, ran to my gate, and flew to Seoul where I emerged minus 1 checked bag. People who lose their luggage always look like they are doing the walk of shame.
St. Anthony must have heard me. My luggage was found.
Kimchi time.
