The stuff you learn at the nail salon!

While getting my nails done yesterday, I learned two things. I will discuss the first thing here, and the second thing with another picture.

I've been getting my nails done by the same lady for almost five years. I never noticed that the nail stations are numbered until yesterday. I also noticed that the number four was missing. I asked Lee, who is Chinese, why there is no number four. She basically told me that the number four, in Chinese culture, is back luck, and so are all numbers with the number four in them. Especially 14.

My birthday is 4/14! When I told Lee this, she practically dropped my hand and sputtered something to herself. Then she told me that I "should" be OK since I'm not Chinese.
