Yes, it is. I think the superstitions have a lot of historical means of each countries. Knowing the superstitions of the country, we might be able to know the country's background, and i think it is very interesting to know them in different countries.

Yes, it is. If i talk with someone who is enthusiastic about the superstitions, i might be not able to communicate with the person well. I think it is hard to understand him or her very well.
3.Do you believe in superstitions? If yes, what superstitions do you believe?Why do you do, use, or believe in them?
Yes, i believe some, for example "the spiders you find in the morning have luck." When i was a small, my grandmother often said that. I don't know why, but when my friend tried to kill the spiders in the morning, i don't let them kill the spiders.
When i was a children, i was very afraid of hiccups because one of my friends told me that if you had hiccups 100times, you would be died, so i often counted.
Denmark
It was very nice to listen about Denmark, and i was surprised about the history of Andersen. I found many differences between Japan and Denmark , so i was very attracted to Denmark. I want to eat open sandwiches in Denmark, and I want to try apple soup.
I know the superstition about spider, but I often forget whether the spider in the morning is good or in the evening is good.
