Q: What is with the Light Show obsession here?
What is it about lasers and lights that get everyone so excited here? I mean they are sort of fun but every year? Maybe it is the Chinese equivalent of decorating your whole house like a fit inducing Xmas tree, and I should just be quiet.
I've never seen people get excited by lasers and lights here.
Flower markets....maybe a mild enthusiasm.
Come to think about it, I've never really seen anyone really excited here about anything , apart from arguments over price. 
They get excited about recalls of Toyotas
They get excited about the South China Sea islands
They get excited about foreigners behaving badly
But to answer the question, they are obsessed with lighting; maybe its the electronic version of fireworks. I have an apartment here that my Chinese family decorated in my absence and now it's full of multi-coloured lights and so many light switches they must have drilled out 1/2 tonne of concrete from the walls. But it's OK I can wear my sunglasses when watching TV
