Funny how superstitious some are. Just for interest, if you are ever in Hong Kong and you are in a lift in any high rise building, take note of the floor number. Most buildings do not have a 13th floor.

I've been in a few buildings in South Africa that skip the 13th floor.

I have been in a couple of high rises in SA, and a lot of them don't have a floor 13 either. They normally use it for building infrastructure, and it keeps superstitious people happy.

Did not know that, clearly I do not go into SA high rises to often....

At my previous company the company rented four floors of a building, 11 - 14.

Almost no-one wanted to be on the 13th and as a result we had the biggest offices. We even used an empty office to play cricket in during lunch. Off course we used tennis balls

add to that, buildings with huge "holes" in them to allow dragons from the mountain unobstructed flight to the sea and back !
