Well, I´m guessing for China it´ll be, very soon, the day after we made one of the most beautiful Olympic ceremonies of all times ... But I learned they think number 9 is cursed, the same way they think number 8 is blessed - hence the Olympics opening in 08/08/2008 at 8:00 pm. ETA: For Japan, is "moment of silence" day because of the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki. Indeed, not a happy day neither for Japan nor for Humanity ...
