Korean influence and Numbers?

China is growing extremely fast, partly because of foreign investment. Over the past few days of touring around the city, we've observed many development project by Korean companies. Also Korean restaurant is very common in Tianjin. At these restaurants you could try food you'll never ever have a chance to have in the States.

I've been Chinese for as long as I could remember, but the supersitions in phone numbers and such still surprises me. The other day we were at the China mobile store where we could select our cell phone numbers. I was surprised how willing people are to spend more money on numbers that contain digits that are suposing good luck.
