Macau Fitness and Chinese numerology.

Macau China.

I'm currently working as a PA and advisor to Norika at Power Nutrition Macau. We will be opening a gym called "Macau Fitness" sometime in December.

The company just bought a new van with automatically opening doors. Now we are waiting to buy the license plates. Numbers in Chinese are extremely important. The government realizes this and prices the plates accordingly. The number 8 represents luck/prosperity, so it is highly coveted. The more number 8's in the plate, the higher the cost. The number 4 represents death. So plates with 4 are cheaper. People literally pay $50,000 to get the license plate that they want. Rolling up in a car that has a license plate of the sort 8888 shows that you really have money, and people know you paid a very high price for it. If you had a license plate that said 4444 people might not even get in your car.

Pavlo says in Ukraine the number 4 is the foundation of life. It has a great meaning and people want it.

Chinese men do not want to be associated with green. Green has the connotation of naivety. There is a saying that a man wearing a green hat is a man whose wife/girlfriend is cheating on him.

I should do a complete post on the meanings of numbers and colors in different cultures.
