You know that craving for a warm piece of pizza; but you look at your wallet and it says nope, cannot afford western food tonight. Well, I got the solution for you.
In the alley to the left side of east gate, there is a restaurant called Cheesy Cheese. However, since there is a lovely lady that works there we started calling her and the place Mama Cheese. The atmosphere is great, it is such a small place but it has lots of character. The walls are covered in post-it cards with messages, quotes and drawings made by people from around the world.
Her pizza is great and everything in the place has cheese of some sort in it. It is the perfect way to harm up your heart. Great pizza and a fantastic restaurant. Enjoy the pizza and say hi to Mama Cheese for me!

Over this past weekend, some of our students enrolled at Minzu University of China took their annual Spring Outing – this year, to Gubei Water Town. Situated about a 2-hour drive northeast of Beijing, the April weather made it absolutely perfect to explore for a spring outing. It surrounds various canals and offshoots of Yuanyang lake.
If you ever want to get a taste of Old Beijing, by far one of the best ways is to visit the hutongs. They’ve conceptually been around all the way since the 1200s, and in their most modern forms exist as protected alleyways and streets surrounded by old traditional houses and neighborhoods in the heart of Beijing and are recognized in China to be an important part of cultural heritage in the city.
