Friday the Thirteenth
It is said ,in the Czech Republic, that Friday the thirteenth brings bad luck. Is this day considered unlucky in other countries too?
Yes, definitely in the western culture. Have you not seen the movies? :)
Writing point: English uses far less commas than Czech. Too many commas are a mistake.

Yes, this is because the romans, and lots of other countries, executed death sentences (including jesuses) on fridays. 13 is a known 'bad luck' number in lots of counties, for reasons nobody knows.

In Chinese restaurant, I noticed there is not 13 on button in the lift, usually it's 12A,12B,like that. 4 is advised to avoid as a taboo, because 4 sounds like "die" in Chinese. But I think 4 is my lucky number! :D
