Yea. It evolved from "ill" which was used in the 90s. In the 80s it was what? "Wicked"? All different ways of saying "amazing".

And I can't think of anything sicker than getting a tattoo. :bleh: Why would anybody want to scar up their own body? :crazy2:

I think there are a lot of things sicker than getting tattoos, but I know what you mean. Piercings in weird, unnatural places turn me off.

Same here... I see it as self-mutilation. :bleh:

When I woke up on the train I saw these girls passed out in front of me. I was looking way haggard then they were. :beaten:

Here are some photos of a ryokan I stayed at, located in the hills 30 minutes outside of Kyoto. It's called Ugenta. It has a 3 Michelin star rated restaurant which serves guests during their stay. The entire inn is so reclusive it only has two rooms: a Western style room and a Japanese room. IMHO, probably the best place I've ever stayed in Japan, or anywhere else in the world. Cool place.

Just outside Ugenta

Wow and outdoor furo! I'm guessing this place cost a little more than $39.99 a night.

For 2 people, 90,000 Yen = approx 1,000 USD.

The night? Do you have a site for this place? I don't want to keep asking you questions, as I think it'll become an annoyance. :sweat:

Yes the cost was for two persons per night, which included a multi-course dinner and breakfast the following morning. The room can accommodate up to 6 persons, thus the cost per person gets cheaper if you book more guests per night. No annoyance. Here's the website:
