Wow, what a pain! I'm impressed with your patience. The meal looks delicious. And, I'm happy your luggage maelde it with everything still in it... three weeks is utterly ridiculous! Nice read.

Everything but my mints lol, but I'm glad it worked out. Yea, I knew they would take some time when they realize that I wasn't staying nearby.

This is a silly question. Can you order things like mints, toothpaste, favorite shampoo from Amazon and have it shipped? I realize moving to a different country will also present a completely different lifestyle but some stuff is just scared to wellbeing. Thoughts on this?

Actually, its a good question. I've ship out of here and it cost a lot. To ship in here isn't so bad. Luckily they have most of the US brands here, and if not they have really good local brands that I would even choose over US brands.

I hear this often, that brands in other parts of the world are many times better than what we carry, that - and less brands are available making it much easier to choose than wading through hours of brand names, most knock-offs.

3 weeks? I hope you were ok without the papers that you had in your luggage. Maybe the luggage "thief" had bad breath 😂

lol I hope the breath mints served them well. Good thing that I had some extra clothes, toiletries in my carry-on luggage. I like to pack my carry-on luggage that way. That's what made the time go by easier.
