Certain numbers are avoided because they are considered unlucky and these unlucky numbers differ from culture to culture. Americans consider 13 to be an unlucky number while the Chinese consider 4 to be an unlucky number. For example, some buildings in East Asia do not have a 4th floor. In the US, buildings do not have a 13th floor. In Hong Kong, some high-rise residential buildings omit all floor numbers with “4” (4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40–49 floors), in addition to not having a 13th floor. When executing an event, venue staff and planners need to keep in mind that their clients may want unlucky numbers eliminated.
