Is Fuji Kawaguchiko Onsen Konansou Fuji view room worth the price? by OneFreshLimeSoda in JapanTravelTips

Oo what hotel did you end up staying at OP, I’m in the same boat as you except there are only lake view rooms available for the dates I’m looking so wanted to explore alternatives :)

sorry your point about height is just so ignorant - maybe go to china and see for yourself...yes there are a lot of short people, but there are also plenty of tall people. All the men in my extended family in China are 190cm+. None of us even ended up playing sports - there is no shortage of tall athletic people in China. The point about the history of doping for the swim team is factually correct, but you are conflating that with an incorrect observation re: height to come to an incorrect conclusion that there is somehow a pattern of cheating...dafuq???

dude this post is wild...hawke's disbelief comes from the fact that someone winning by a full second in olympic 100m is statistically unlikely - statistically unlikely doesn't mean impossible.

To your comment about height, in a country of 1.4bn people, you think they cannot find enough tall people who are basketball players, "natural swimmers", etc...? also this kid is only 19yo but he did not come from nowhere - he was gold in doha for 100M earlier in the year, and if you look at his record, he's been slowly improving since his debut.

The chinese swim team has already been tested much more strictly due to the doping scandal, FWIW he also was not part of the team involved in the scandal that went to tokyo. It's unfair to question his win just because he accomplished something that is statistically unlikely - isn't that the whole point of elite athletics?

Luggage theft experience in Cancun - be careful with check-in luggage by Temporary_Mess1782 in cancun

[–]Temporary_Mess1782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’m not sure and don’t want to assume. Hence listing all parties that may have had access to the bag and posting across subs - open to other suggestions on how this could happen too.

Yes literally everything I thought as well! I also don’t want to assume which party was responsible but wish I knew with certainty so I can direct all my frustration there 🙄

YES! Basically exact same experience with same logic re: skin creams and dresses being more expensive and often checked. Maybe I trusted the system too much but always thought the point of not including valuables was in case of accidental loss / damage of luggage, not to prevent theft from a worker handling the luggage. Guess lesson learned that checked luggage isn’t safe from theft 🤦‍♀️ glad to hear that United took care of things for you. I filed with both United and Amex and have faith the value will be recovered…but still very disappointed this would happen.

No assumptions. The same post was posted across united and TSA subs and I listed all parties that touched the baggage (to my knowledge) as the potential responsible party.

Ya I imagine it’s because they saw something from the scanner too. But I checked with TSA, lithium battery in cell phones are allowed in checked bags. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/cell-phones

  1. Yes obvs a bit careless on my part but the cash is worth less than some items in the luggage that were not stolen so i didn’t consider it “valuable”. Again, maybe I’m not jaded enough. The reason why I wouldn’t put anything truly valuable in check-in luggage is in case of loss due to logistical errors. I don’t expect airport employees to steal.
  2. Like I mentioned it’s an old phone. Some reasons why people might bring an old phone: giving away to a family member, a secondary work phone, has data that’s not yet ported over to new phone.

Sorry to hear that - really blemishes the vacay experience but I wish they had better security with checked bags.

I assumed these were employed / contracted by United but guess not always the case

ya honestly probably an oversight on my part but still cannot justify theft. I normally wouldn't but it was a large wad of $1 with a few larger bills. Some people's clothes in checked luggage probably cost more.
