So you are saying the number 4 is bad in Japanese culture?

(I don't know enough about that culture)

      That is because  4 is read as "yon" or "shi" (ichi ni san shi go...)
      and "shi" is the same SOUND as "shi" 死.
      However, most cases its read as "yon" (hi fu mi yo itsu...)

      We also have this sort of thing in Japan. The next door apartments
      are 101,102,103,105,106 on the first (ground!) floor.

      Carparking spaces around the corner, 1,2,3,5.
