I know! But number 4 specifically is a different story. In japan at least
His wife is Japanese but he lives in Singapore 🇸🇬
What is the lucky number in Argentina 🇦🇷
I know I know, but I assume some cultural traits might be more universal the more mundane
We don't have something like a cultural lucky number here, but there are many superstitions, and the most widespread is the "cabala", which is related to football: if you did or have something specifically the last time your team won, then that's the "cabala", and you ought to repeat it to "help" your team win again. I'm in none of that bs, not even in football, but it's funny to see people doing that so religiously
Is this why soccer fans wear underwear of a particular colour? Haha
Yeap. It's the reason for much of the ridiculous behaviour around the sport 🙈
I didn’t know this!
Did you know that 8 sends shudders down the spine for the Germans?
No idea
That’s a funny phobia
8 is the 8th letter of the alphabet. 88 means Hail Hilter.
After I learnt this, I tried to tone down my enthusiasm for the number 8 haha
Sorry! Should have clarified 😅
I was referring solely to the number four, in the case of sensei specifically, since in the case of japanese culture, to which he is acquainted, the number 4 has a very negative connotation in itself. That's why usually they favour numbers like 5 for this purposes, and avoid the number 4 as much as possible
