080808 is not only the day the Olympics start

the reason why the olympic starts on this certain day in beijing is because the numbers 0 and 8 is considered to be a lucky number in chinese and some asian countries..

[anon]

Yea, heard about that :smile:... some asians consider "lucky" numbers to be very important. Some are also deemed "unlucky", like the number 4 for example, which sounds like the word for "death" in Chinese and Japanese; some asian buildings don't have a 4th floor.

[zatoicchi]

yea, and in america the number 13 is considered to be bad luck but in japan 13 is a lucky number.. that's why most of the building here in the US have no 13th floor and if the building has a 13 floor it's usually owns by a japanese corporation:wink:
