Well, it is Friday and 13th day.

Have you got troubles today?
Or don't you have to take special care today in China?

Perhaps some other day?

Very good.

In my opinion this is one of those things really works just if you believe it...

But perhaps I have some other day to be careful in China? I saw in Spring Festival thread that some manners exist..

And if a black cat were to cross your path on Black Friday, well, your bad luck will be increased many times.

Yes yes, and one have to spit three times over his/her shoulder if black cat goes over the street...

This really isn't very close China travelling but maybe our Chinese friends have some fun with this.

Wocca dropped here good info about Friday (Fredag, day of Freia, old viking god) and 13. But look also Russian point of wiew:

"According to the latest opinion polls, millions of people in the United States are still in the grips of this very old superstition. In many American hotels you will never find a 13th floor and the handful of apartments bearing this number are available at half their actual price. Many Americans believe they live in a cursed country. Indeed, looking at the reverse side of a one dollar bill we can see there an unfinished pyramid with 13 steps. To its right there is a bold eagle holding olive branches with 13 leaves and as many arrows in its talons. 13 stars are above the eagle and a shield with 13 stripes is in front of the eagle. What people seem to forget, however, is that the 13 starts symbolize the 13 former British colonies that once came together and formed what we now know as the United States of America…"
