On our quest to seek out the ultimate refreshment, my friend took me to a well known tea place in Clairemont Mesa. The first thing to impress me was the size of the vacinity. There was a large, well-lite lounge along with an impressive library and book and movie rental area, well equipped with the lastest anime and asian movies. This joint also had it’s own photobooth! As my friend said, “It’s not corny, it’s culture.” It was also very odd that the bathrooms were located outside of the vacinity and customers had to request a key, sort of like a gas station.
