no 4

Today I noticed that there is no 4th floor in the hotel. Some western hotels eschew a 13th floor, but in Asian culture 4 is bad luck (I believe the story is that the character resembles the character for death). There is something to it though. Last year Takumo Sato (Formula One driver) was given number 4 for his car. He proceeded to have a horrendous season, barely finishing a race and mostly crashing out or having a mechanical.

So for the next few days, no 4.
