In many countries, 34 don’t include “13” in their room numbers. Many tourists cannot find Room 13 when they stay there! In some parts of China, the number “4” could be unlucky because the word “four” sounds similar to “death” in Chinese. So Chinese 35 give gifts of four toys, four boxes of chocolate or four of anything.
Meanwhile, “ 36 ” and “eight” are lucky numbers in China. Chinese people see dates that include these two lucky numbers as lucky days. They like to hold important events on these lucky days.
