- Jade is good luck

- Do not get a jade necklace wet (the luck will be gone)

- Do not let anyone else touch the jade necklace except your mom or dad (the luck will be gone but I think theres a way to reverse it)

Uh that's all I know, correct me if Im wrong, which I probably am xd

beauty marks that form a diamond shape on your face means that you'll become insanely famous or rich......and it's funny b/c my uncle told me that I have the diamond on my face. xP

......and sleeping on the floor/ground is bad. -_-
who knows if you're sleeping right above a dead person's grave........b/c they might grab your soul, eat it, and then use your body to be reincarnated.

or something like that.........
there's plenty more.
but most of them are Vietnamese superstitions and then always have something to do with the dead.

lol well that's just what my mom told me, a fat lady would ask my mom if I got it wet and the fat lady would tell her daughter not to touch it too so I donno. A tour guide in Guilin said not to let people touch it either. I don't remember her saying anything about it getting wet. Oh well, if it has no luck it still looks pretty sweatdrop

If you give someone a clock it means death. Well... something like that.
And when you eat your rice and have some grains left over that's how many pimples you'll get or that's how ugly your boyfriend will be or whatever... xp

it's kind of to hard not to let other people touch it when they just stop and grab at it (my friends did this to me) and you're like "wtf?" but you don't want to say anything.

I've heard that one before. giving someone a clock is like counting down to their demise. I also heard that if you give someone an empty red envelope for new years or occasions, it's giving them really bad luck.

@kagome: I do that too but my mom keeps pulling it out when she has the chance. not to mention my chain is pretty short to begin with. rofl

          I don't really believe in superstitions.
          I remember my mum telling me things like 'the number four is bad luck cause it sounds like die in chinese, so don't get a house with the number 4 in it'
          And 'the number 8 is lucky, and if you get your house number to be 88 or 888 then you will have super good luck.'


Yeah, when we were house-hunting, we found this really nice house on a nice location, but it was like number 14, so we just continued looking >__>;
