Some how I get feeling there is a great deal of difference between the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Chie. The western culture some how seems to have this amazing ability to corrupt ideas, with to many people looking at part of a concept then claiming to be a master.. but the concept could be of great interest.
I found the fact that next July has 3 Fridays, 3 Saturdays, and 3 Sundays, to be fascinating, it was originally called tomy attention by my cousin. Someone there claimed that there was another month but when I looked up that month it had only 2 Fridays where are three days are required for five times to meet the occurrence. ( I am not sure occurrence is the right word.)
