12:30 PM, I was at a baggage claim at Khasab Airport.
The baggage conveyor stopped without getting my backpack.
Not only me but a dozen of people.
A staff said something to us. Others stared to move.
I followed others. We got to the office.
The boss explained something and seemed to ask for our ticket number and call number.
My turn came.
Me: "Where is my baggage?"
Boss: "Maybe another airplane. We are looking for now. We'll call you when we find."
Me: "I don't have a phone."
Boss: "All flight is done today. Come here 10:00 AM tomorrow."
Me: "I see."
I went outside to get a taxi. But, there was no taxi.
I went back to the office. The boss was still struggling.
I asked a staff, Mr. M, sitting next to the boss
Me: "Where can I get a taxi?"
Mr. M: "No taxi here."
Me: "Really!? I'd like to go to a hotel."
I showed him a copy of my booking on agoda.com.
Mr.M made a call to my stay, a villa.
Mr.M: "This number is closed."
Mr.M called his man and drew a map.
His man took me to my stay.
He rang a bell, but no one came out.
Then, we were back to the office.
Mr. M: "Accommodation Cheating."
Me: "Would you look for a hotel for me?"
Thanks to Mr.B, I got another stay: Diwan Al Amir.
2 trouble at the same time. But, strangely I was not bewildered at all.
Getting used to travel or hot air made me stop thinking.

Just before 4:00PM, I heard something from loudspeakers. I went outside. Islam Pray has just started. | |
