I'm just pointing it out.


That's why the opening ceremonies were held today. In China, 8 is considered to be a very lucky number, just like 7 is here.

I heard that on the radio today as well.

I thought the number seven was rucky to them too.

I think the chinese might be the most superstitious people on the planet.

The oven in their home can't be facing the fridge and many other examples of voodoo practices.

LOL that's part of feng shui I believe and it ain't voodoo, it's ergonomics (which is why you can reach the pedals on your car as well as all the knobs, buttons and do dads...)
 
I heard that there are a large number of weddings on this day, especially Chinese weddings.

It has got nothing to do with ergonomics.

It has everything to do with superstition.

The fridge can't face the stove because fire and ice are opposite and they believe this will cause some supernatural demonic conflict in their kitchen (or something along those lines) and will cause them a bit a grief in their life.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice believed to utilize the laws of both heaven (astronomy) and earth (geography) to help them supposedly improve life by receiving influence from forces not of this world.

Voodoo was a poor choice of words on my part...it's chinese witchcraft to be more exact.
