> In Japan, many apartment houses and car parks skip 4. Many hotels skip

> 24 can become nishi, also known as double death (ニ死), 42 can become shini,
> also known as "death" or “to death” (死に), 43 can become shisan which

> example is, 43 + 4 = 47 shizan shi Shuraudo which means "stillbirth death

いまどき、４階を飛ばしてるアパートなんかあるんかいな？
13階飛ばしのホテルもしらんぞ？　

あと、14, 24 .... なんか生まれてことかた、聞いたことないわ。
外人がこの記事読んだら、日本人が迷信狂いに誤解されそうだ。
