Swim in a Pool of Green Tea

Well hey there! Wonderful to see you! What'cha been up to? Ready for a mug of java and a vitual treat? Try a Japanese pastry, why don't'cha? Speaking of Japan, the folks there do get into some weird stuff, huh? Like this...

Around Tokyo, "Idle boredom is an impossible option,". Where else would you expect to find a resort just outside the city where one could swim in a pool of green tea, coffee, sake or (the most popular treat) wine.

 "A giant bottle of merlot" spilled into a pond the size of a minivan, he wrote (while braving the Yunessun resort's warnings not to drink from the pool). 

Though both-sex nudity is tolerated in Japan's hot springs spas, Yunessun discourages it. Aw, dang it!

Although the Japanese are known to be fastidiously clean, the warning not to drink the contents of the pool could result in part from a) the desire to 'taste' the 'water' to see if it really was green tea and b) people's tendency to tinkle in the pool, if you know what I mean. Green tea in the pool is one thing  but I'd have to draw the line at pee green tea, wouldn't you?

See ya, eh.
