Looks so busy. Like NYC/Time Square.

Shibuya looked the most like New York to me. They had these big green-accented holding pens for smokers, since there's this anti-smoking ordinance. It was surreal seeing these boxes absolutely packed to the brim with people smoking.

Just booked a trip to Punta Cana for February. Anybody been? Guess we’re staying at the Ocean Blue and Sand Beach Resort. Mixed Reviews. Wasn’t my choice since family and friends had already booked.

The wife and I went during covid to a new resort on the South side? of the island.....cap cana area? It was all inclusive and adults only. Def was nice! I'm sure it helped that the resort was maybe 50% full back then.
We didn't venture out of the resort since we were pretty lit most days by 1-2pm and had 7 restaurants to choose from.

This one’s unfortunately NOT Adults Only. Not looking forward to having to socialize with children.

Dude. You don't have to talk to other people's children at an all inclusive. Lol
I went when I was 19. It was really cool. Being drunk before noon every day got exhausting though.
Did a snorkel tour. First time peeing in the ocean. Also introduced snorkel shots to the crew.

I still have to be around them. This’ll be my second time out of the country so I’ll give it a chance. If any of them bastards aggravate me it’s Adults Only from there on!
I’m a young grump. I feel like Walt from Gran Torino might be my Spirit Animal.

They didn't tell you about it before they booked? Dang...
When we went to Aruba this year... it wasn't Adults only... It wasn't too bad but I feel like parents have ear plugs in and don't hear their kids lol
Are your kids going with you?
Get off my lawn! lol

I’m pretty sure my Wife’s Aunt told her husband to “Invite the Guys” after the fact. I’m guessing some of their older friends couldn’t go so they’re padding the trip with her husband’s social group. I normally turn down trips to warmer climates but no biggie.They didn't tell you about it before they booked? Dang...

Definitely not bringing my daughter. She’s only five. The Wife and I don’t drink when we have her with us. Wouldn’t be able to enjoy ourselves constantly watching her.

I think we will only be doing all inclusive and adult only from now on if we have our way. It's just so much nicer. But then you have to worry about the "young adults" that are down there to ball out and post every single second of their ballerness trip on social media and be stupid drunk and loud.Turn down trips to warmer climates?

The weather down there was perfect....I don't remember the temps but you could sit out on the beach all day and not be too hot. The ocean was close to bath water temp....but real nice.

We haven't been to a resort that have the young adult/party crowd. Then again we do our research and make sure we don't go to those places.
We are both old soul (laugh it up) so we want to make sure we are with the older crowd lol

Lol, pedestrian density is incredible in Shibuya, they may as well just get rid of the roads!

You can go to cheaper places and not get a room with a view.
I think our Aruba trip including airfare/transfer was around $6k.

6k usd is about 8k cnd. Lol.
Even Cuba was about 6k cnd. I think Costa Rica was like 11k cnd. That's nuts.

People should prob distinguish how many people that covers. Two round trip flights and hotel etc for 2 people… for how long of a stay? I’m guessing that price is for 2 people total
