Hmm, that's strange because according to CGTN's article published 11 hours ago, tickets just went on sale yesterday (Wednesday).

Hy Beijinger! Appreciate you putting this out, but maybe next time a little more heads up? Just reading this now and went to look for tickets at the link, but just about all screens for all films are already sold out : (

Both airlines have implemented strict health and hygiene measures before travel, at the airport, on board and upon arrival, in order to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers during their journey between Mainland China and Europe. For example, it is mandatory for all customers and crew to wear face masks during boarding and onboard all flights. Also, the air in the cabin is renewed every 3 minutes. The air recycling system on AF and KL aircraft are equipped with "High-Efficiency Particulate Air" or HEPA filters which provide a clean, high-quality cabin air.

ha ha ha!

Lol

I believe the word you are fumbling after is "demolition." Deconstruction is a method of literary criticism for which Jacques Derrida was the pin-up boy. 

Thanks for the "constructive" criticism, but deconstruction is, in fact, the appropriate word here since the building is being stripped down of its parts rather than having its structure demolished.

Many of you will be wondering what is cricket, well here’s a brief explanation.

Cricket is a very English game. It is played in a field on a cricket pitch. The pitch is a strip of short grass 1 chain or 22 yards long and 10 feet wide. The pitch is usually called the square.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

I hope you now understand the game of cricket!

Batsman is going in to make "runs". Bowler is bowling to get him out. I think now the picture is clear. Else, I was feeling like it's the game about just going in and getting out, haha.

Limey, I haven't read come across that epithet for years! Thank you.

Surprised to hear purest horseshite? Well, yeah. India's birthrate accounts for this, not the "fact" cricket is much liked anywhere except where Limeys live and babus breed. Sorry, paleboy Giovanni gotta side with the homeboys on this one.
