Ray's Tea Time

Apparently I'm getting a lot of hits directly on my Google Oops post, and almost all of them are coming from a mysterious nextweb.com without a referring URL. I can only guess that either it's a single crazy stalker, or that nextweb is actually a bunch of Google employees reading my complaints.

Ray's Tea Time sent e-mails saying they are closing because the landlord is increasing rent too much. I had been looking forward to having a pearl milk tea there once I got well again. After tasting pearl milk tea from Ray's Tea Time in San Mateo and Ten Ren in Cupertino, I never wanted to drink any pearl milk tea from the other shops again.

This sucks because Ray's Tea Time was the reason to go to downtown San Mateo. It's the coolest store there. What a conundrum. Downtown San Mateo and the vicinity has become so cool that rents are too expensive for the cool stores to stay in business there. I guess they did have a humongous store though.
