Rain drops fall, bouncing off the surface of the steaming, open-air pool. Up to my neck in hot water, I turn my gaze to the left see roughly hewn boulders and mini Cyprus trees flanking the water — a makeshift Zen garden of sorts. There's a chill in the air, which makes the scalding temperature of the mineral-infused waters more bearable. To my right sit four Japanese men, also submerged in the water, their eyes closed and beatific expressions on their reclined faces. Aside from the gentle pitter-patter of rainfall, the silence is almost palpable. While there's nothing especially out of the ordinary about this scene — extreme serenity aside, perhaps — there is one thing that's making me internally squirm.
