UFOwatcher Posted June 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Perhaps they were 'also' looking for good luck. 8 or a string of 8's are good luck in China. Edited June 29, 2016 by UFOwatcher correct syntax error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Evans Posted June 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I know 4`s are bad. They won`t even say it.
