I went to the dominican republic after a typhoon, and let me tell you, it was one of my favorite vacations ever. To start we didnt even go to punta cana or any of those gaijin / gringo honeypots, so we were already expecting something low key. Turns out all the hotel fronts were destroyed and there was no one (we rented a house with the locals), we had all the beach for us, white sand, quiet, all for us.

[@ucc930ml]

Many abandoned hotels here in Japan are famous for the occurrence of "strange phenomena" and "ghosts"... The disappearance and tragic end of the owners and related people... Or the tragic end of ordinary people... There are quite a few properties where something like that has actually happened... Also, on a different note, there are cases where foreigners who visit Japan suddenly disappear. They don't tell anyone where they're going, they leave their luggage behind, they sneak out of their accommodation alone and go missing, or they disappear while walking in the mountains or on the beach. And there are many cases where even a large-scale search involving their families doesn't find any traces or clues. Foreigners who have no troubles in life, have clear dreams and goals, and are expected to do well by those around them suddenly disappear mysteriously... 🥶
