Oh wait, that’s not how it goes! Many Asian countries feel the number 4 is unlucky, 4 many reasons (see what I did there)… the number 4 sounds like the word for death in Chinese. So it’s not uncommon to find elevator or building numbers to skip the number 4. Man, this post has a lot of 4’s … I guess it’s super unlucky![/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]
