Galas Galore: The Best of the Rest
“If you thought that CCTV held the monopoly on kitschy, Spring Festival song and dance numbers, think again.

From Beijing to Hunan, we’ve got Shaq doing kung fu, a “funny magic show” in Guangxi and have even found a rogue presenter.” |

You shouldn't need an excuse if you want to start - or continue - drinking at 7.30am but New England versus New York, again, is perfect if you do. Here’s the full playlist of who will be open and where to head whether you want cheap beers or a morning meal." |
