China has National Holiday that starts on Oct. 1 until the 7th - Communism and whatnot - but the actual day is for Sept 29...not as auspicious as the 1st.
I remember having a conversation with our friends here about numbers and how it pays a lot into the culture.
In the US we have an aversion to the number 13 yet like the number 7.
Thailand loves the number 9 as it is a leap into future and fortune but hates the number 4
Here 6 is a great number and I think 9 but NEVER 4. 4 signifies death and I for
Japan has an aversion to 4 for the same reason.
No one likes 4 in Asia and it's usually for the same reason.

Numerology plays into a lot of things in life here. Choosing good phone numbers with lucky numbers, getting married on a certain day, certain ages are considered to be lucky and celebrated.
I just find it interesting. Oh, and there is no correlation between my pictures and the topic. It just helps break up the monotony.
