That Fortune cat is nearly EVERY store I go. It's the first one to say "hi" to me before anyone else.

[@rosemaryfengchannel]

Indeed, hi there😊

[@wesleyalessandro2604]

i know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online?

[@greyimmanuel2193]

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you for posting!

[@ShaunaFacciponti]

I really enjoyed your video! Thank you !! Made me smile and learned a few things too!

[@lightphasermusic]

Great video! I know about some more superstitions. Afaik, in China when you are giving gifts you must avoid giving 4 pieces of anything, good idea is to give 3 of 5 of something, but definitely to avoid 4, like you already said in the video, the number 4 tends to be avoided. Also regarding gifts, when you wrap the items into something, it is a good idea to wrap the items into something that has red color. Further, when bringing the gift and presenting it to the person, you should hand it over by both hands to show respect.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. My grandfather was Chinese and I am trying to learn as much as I can

When purchasing a new home bring a dog or baby with you. If it barks or the baby cries you don't want the home because it has bad energy.

[@Yongxiang6623]

My parents don’t allow pets just because my grandma hates pets (because she’s the one taking care of them all the time)

[@GoldhartStudio]

In Russia a clock it is a bad gift too. Same about an open umbrella. Very interesting.

[@rachiesvlog6925]

I go to this place in North America named "Hibachi" and at the front desk right when you come in you see the "Maneko" or "fortune cat".

My family is Chinese, so my grandma lives in an apartment in China and I’m pretty sure that last time I went there, there was no 4th floor ❤

[@MrEmBerna]

WOW, here in Italy we have the fifth superstition, too! I suspect it's a loaned one from China, because no-one managed to clarify that one to me... But maybe I simply had bad luck and the two lores share the same feature by chance

[@tonytorres4535]

Very fascinating!🤓👍

[@MaxsCognacReview]

I was wondering about the cat. Great video

[@Yongxiang6623]
