Yep, it's our own little slice of Beijing. We live in a group of buildings called Dong Sheng Yuan. We're building 4, door 4 (below), apartment 601 on the sixth (and top) floor. There is no elevator.
In Chinese culture, 4 is an unlucky number, but 6 and 8 are lucky numbers. No, there is no apartment #444 in our "door" (there are only two apartments per floor per door, X01 and X02, so it's probably somewhere else in the building), but a salesman at the China Unicom cell phone store said that three 4's was extremely lucky. No, I don't get it either. (Mom, please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.)
Oh yeah, three 4s are rocking good luck. It's the old, "die die winthelottery"!
ReplyDeleteHm, wouldn't it be better if those things happened in reverse order?
