Here's a riddle for you: What's making annoying sounds for two hours and does not get killed? Answer: Chinese man with iPad playing stupid games. And believe me, after first forty minutes you would wish to strangle him or, at least, stuff the iPad to the place where the sun does not shine.
You can try to write it of as a cultural difference, but after hearing "Niao? Niao! Niao? Niao! Niao! Heee-heeee-heee!!!" for the hundredth time you won't give a crap about culture. You still believe in Oriental politeness? Why, you should come here and expereince it – "polite" shoving, "polite" queue jumping, being "politely" obnoxious and just being a "polite" nuisance. The truth is, Chinese are rude and don't give a crap about politeness until they decide that you must be polite to them. Shouting and name-calling ensues.
And what puzzles me is the fact that you can get a pair of earbuds for maybe 15 yuan (that's USD 2.33) – or 58 yuan if you go for the really good handsfree ones with mike and remote (look and feel is exactly the same as the genuine Apple article). So why these people insist onbeing obnoxious is jyst beyond my understanding. Must be something to do with the need to show off their "prosperity", saying "Hey, I've an iPad, I'm rich!" Goddamn show-offs...
