This from an elevator at a friends house where cultures seem to collide. Why you ask? Just look:
You see the number 4 is unlucky in Chinese culture since it sounds like the word for death. So its not uncommon to find a building that goes from 2 to 3 to 3A to 5. But this building must have enough Western exposure that people also feel 13 is unlucky also. Hence you have 12 then 12A then 12B. YIKES!

We have some friends in the capital who got their apartment for cheaper because it was on 3A. Luckily in the labor and delivery ward I was in room 6, not 3A...because you know what room it REALLY is.
