While 42 may be considered unlucky in Japanese culture because it sounds like the word death, it is also the answer to the ultimate question of life, universe and everything, as calculated by Deep Thought (a supercomputer) over 7.5 million years in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the last 24 hours, 23 seems to be the answer...at least in some aspects.
In my quest to search for happy ending massages for women in Asia, my friend last night noted that there is a massage parlor in Danang where menu item #23 is the magic formula. A Korean woman had blogged about her experience where she happened upon this and towards the end, as she decided to also participate by performing oral on him, he had noted that it was not the norm. She went back the next day and after that she booked him for the whole day.
My other friend noted that for some reason she had been picking the number 23 lately when she buys lotto. I happen to be pulling out my VND for something and on one of my 500,000 VND bills, someone had written 23 on the bill and circled it. My friend immediately grabbed it and noted that she was going to use the bill to purchase a lotto ticket today. When paying for dim sum this morning, I had forgotten about that until afterwards. Luckily, I did not pay with the same bill.
We had a spa service at her house as her son was napping and she had noted that she was going to buy the lotto ticket while he was napping, but ended up getting lazy and figured she would go later. As she went on a walk with her son and stopped by the shop to get the ticket, she had missed the cutoff for today's drawing. She let out a loud "FUCK" when she saw the number 23 as the pick for the day. Sometimes one has to act on the signs to not lose out on the opportunities that the universe provides. 😉
