@Koochi-Q I was wondering who was gonna make the reference haha

@Koochi-QSpeaking of the number 4, it's Japan's unlucky number just like Westerner's 13. Some buildings in Tokyo does not have the 4th floor since 4 can also be pronounced as "shi" which sounds like the word for death. A reason why a lot of Japanese were so shocked that Sony pushed with the PS4 rather than giving it another name. And yes my people are very weird. xD

Forward thinking? We have the best toilet technology but we still use the fax and use a stamp as a signature. LOL!

@Cheese9Man I love Japan. I love the culture, history (most of it), customs, society, the food ... Japan! I love manga, anime and Japanese cinema. I've even tried learning nihongo (it's very hard for a English speaking idiot).

Also ... I've never been to Japan :D

(Was planning to but lockdown put paid the that. I got as close as Borneo, once, which isn't very close).

@Cheese9Man Wait, so... no 4th floor? Does the building just like hover in the air on rockets? JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!!

@EdwardDLuffy You’ll be amazed how big Apex is in this country. There even graffitis of BH. Come on by after the pandemic!

@EdwardDLuffy The closest I've been (geographically) to Japan is Colorado. Emotionally, I was close to Japan a few years ago. People would look at me and say, "Look at that guy. He's obviously close to Japan right now."

@LaughingSharko Aren’t some Western buildings exclude the 13th floor? In the Philippines, most of the building just skip that floor as well because they said that it brings bad luck. LOL.

@Cheese9Man Yes, they (13th floors) may exist but I've never seen one.

@Cheese9Man This is a fairly common occurrence!! People are silly

@dSKyNafinchin I mean... I've never been to Japan. I only know about Tokyo from Bubblegum Crisis and other anime. My entire perception of Japan is probably a lie based on neon signs, floating buildings, rogue AI and "sashimi." I bet sashimi doesn't even exist!
