OT: Doing business with chinese people who are superstitious

[KIBU]

I don’t like communism but the only right thing they did correctly was to try to beat the hell out of the Asian superstitious mind. I couldn’t agree with them more on this attempt, however, even the communists failed. Some of these superstitious beliefs are so ridiculous and I sometimes just wanna spank some of these old folks real bad.

[quote=flu]464 hmmm. I can see why she would not want that…

“4” sounds like dead…
“6” sounds like again…

translated: dead, again and again.

I guess she’ll be picking 168, 868, or 888[/quote]

Yeah, she’d pick one of those if she had a choice. Our choices were even numbers from 452 to 466. She picked 462, which kind of surprised me. I thought she’d pick 458. Why do you suppose she picked 462, flu? She’s kind of being vague about it.

It’s not just Chinese that are supersticious. We were given a nice set of cooking knives as a wedding gift and my husband and his family freaked. Apparently Sicilians don’t think it’s a good idea to give sharp stuff as a wedding gift.

We still have (and use) the knives and are still married… so far no bad luck from it.

[quote=flu][quote=dejams]Flu, you sound just like a typical Chinese. My wife and I also try to avoid the 4’s on the street numbers, telephone, account, etc. I guess nothing you can do if your social security has too many 4s…

I guess this is why you live in CV instead of 4S Ranch ;-)[/quote]

Well, if they called it 8s ranch, I probably would end up living there, along with the other chinese nutjobs.

I’ll tell you, when I was up in the bay area. I got killed during 8 months I lived in Foster City, had the biggest problems dating, and had the worst time working…….and then when I moved to Sunnyvale, everything started going really well on all 3 fronts.

Zip code for Sunnyvale.. 94086

Zip code for Foster City 94404[/quote]

LOL. Let’s get a petition to change 4s to 8s; no problem in getting support from so many asians living there. I was there to check out some model homes couple years back and were surprised to see so many potential buyers were asians.

Having lived and worked in bay area, I know both places pretty well. Foster is closed to the airport and is right underneath the path where planes line up to land. Perhaps the noise ruined your sleep which made your life/work more challenging. As for Sunnyvale, right in the heart of silicon valley, is a nice area with some homes go to the Cupertino school district. It kinda remind me of CV, except the homes there are older and more packed in.

If you are that superstitious, then the “right” zip is 92128, in Sabre Springs/Poway.
