First non-instant meal!

Having a non-instant meal was a huge milestone in my trip, so I had to make another post. After venturing out during the day today, I was fortunate to come across a mall that had a plethora of eateries, one of which was "Mr. Pizza." Being in Beijing, of course I would have loved to endulge myself in some Chinese goodness, but once again, my lack of a translator or working knowledge of the language limited me to a restaurant that had English writing in their menu, and not to mention, in their very name. I ordered what was labeled as the "New York Special" pizza coupled with a TsingTao beer. The result...sheer bliss. Everyone please take a moment of silence for the amazing invention of the pizza. Below is a picture of the final slice of what I dubbed "a glorious meal."
