I guess there must be some rather funny and strange superstitions around the World?
I am not really superstitious but living in Asia has convinced me that most Far Eastern people are including the Chinese especially.
One amusing one that I can recount came from my Japanese General Manager. He said "Jerams san, you already know that we Japanese people follow Shintoism which is way of life and not a religion, but did you know that when we die we always have a Buddhist burial just in case we have got it wrong!"
Any more?
