The Olympics starts on August 8th at 8PM for a reason. August 8th 2008 is an auspicious date. In Chinese, the number 8 is pronounced “fa” or “ba” (depending on the dialect) which means prosperity. As James Fallows noted in the Atlantic Monthly a year ago, many Chinese couples have been planning weddings for this special 8-8-8 date.
Celebrate and give a boost to your own good luck and prosperity! This is a good day to Celebrate Life!
We will be toasting to prosperity at 8:08PM
