I finally asked a female employee ( preceded , of course , by my nervous question of " Do you speak English ? " ( in English ) , which , thankfully , she did ) and showed her my ticket , and she pointed me to terminal " C " and there stood a lonely little cluster of suitcases , mine among them , guarded by a nice , little , Japanese security man who insisted , in English , that I check my name - tag to be sure the suitcase was mine . It was . Yay ! ( Thanks for those hilarious luggage tags , Mom !

Give answer the following question using evidence from the above passage: What country might I have been in when I was looking for my luggage ?
I was at the airport in Japan .
