13 is Western.

4 & 14 are Chinese.

Hongkongers are very superstitious, a lot of people even take foreign superstitions seriously.

[spikelive]

AHAHAH chinese are like italian from Naples(napoletani) ...superstitious!!

but here in Italy ,"they" are scared by the number 17! 13 is a lucky number!!

emirates...good choice:)

[d4ms]

amazing mate -just back from Hong Kong myself where I had 12 days - amazin place. You looked like you had a ball and I'm sure your big break will come from it. Well done kid

[kungfoolai]

im asian and i never heard of 4,13 and 14 being unlucky lol

[joisudotcom]

"asian" is too general. Filipinos are asians too, but these numbers don't mean anything in their languages (i assume, but i dont really know their languages anyway).

in chinese mandarin or cantonese - the main languages in hong kong - "4" has the same pronunciation as "dead".

[kungfoolai]

yeah i know im chinese...three 4's are unlucky!

[brendanhsu]

[lauralee15]

the number 4 is considered unlucky in many asian cultures

[aaronh250]

[aaronh250]
