Oh my goodness, Kate - that's some DAMN rotten luck. 
I hope things improve - not just a little, but drastically. You deserve things to go well!
Starbucks makes everything better. Promise. Or, just go watch some Sawyer Brown videos. That'll help too. 
Good Luck hon! I'm sure it'll work out for you.
What a nightmare!! I hope you got a nice wallet!
Sounds like the police gave you first class treament.
Wow, all I can say is I thought I had a bad day a couple of days ago, but yours definitely was more troublesome. I'm just glad you came out the other side still in one piece.
Oh, and thank you for linking me. Somehow I always seem to miss out these things when they first happen. I shall have to return the favor not only because you have a great blog but also for the fact that you are a redhead.
I, as a rule, support all redheads. It's just my way.
WOW! that is my worse nightmare when travelling abroad. And bank tellers are notorious for not listening or understanding. I needed to exchange Canadian dollars back to American at USBank in Portland, and the woman said 1 canadian dollar = .876 American and this really didn't sound right (this was also back in 2001, where the USD was a lot stronger). So I asked her how much USD was to a CAD and she also said .876. So I asked her if she really believed that .876 USD = .876 CAD and therefore the exchange rate was 1:1. She started yelling that it wasn't 1:1, it was .876 to .876.
I wanted to punch her. So I was stuck with $50 CAD I had left on me and all other banks wanted to charge me a huge fee because I wasn't their customer. I closed my USBank account.
Man, that totally sucks. Hang in there! This too shall pass, right? Be sure to treat yourself well and remember to breathe 
you need a nice twisted cartoon to cheer you up.

When you arrive in HK, go to Wong Tai Sin template and buy a paper windmill to "spin your luck".
