Friday the 13th
The Chinese aren't too concerned about Friday the 13th. They say they already have too many other superstitions to worry about. For them, 4 is an unlucky number, and there is no fourth floor and whatnot. 13 is my lucky number, but I still get a bit paranoid on Friday the 13th. 4s don't bug me much though.
