Taiwan Trip Day 6 about Fengshui

The tour guide decide to bring us to a famous fengshui center since we had extra time in the morning. When we were in the bus the tour guide start to touch a few things about fengshui which really interest me.

He was asking us''guess which country seek into fengshui the most?'' The answer was Singapore. When I think about it,I do have to agree with that. With such a small country, everything we build must have a fengshui master to see. Just like the 5 towers of suntec building structure, if you take a look at the 5 building structure at suntec is shaped to represent our five finger. 

At the start, there were only four building without the thumb structure shaped building. After that, they start to seek the fengshui master and he told them you need to build one more building for which is the thumb shaped structure building so that it form a palm with 5 fingers which s able to hold on to the fortune. Right after, building the thumb structure shaped building the fortune really roll in. To believe or not to believe? haha

Another example will be the well known 7-11. The tour guide was saying nowadays it's not just the Chinese seeking for fengshui but the European too. The business owner for 7-11 seek help from the fengshui master as the business wasn't doing very good. 

In the past, the 7-11 logo has a huge 7 and they spell with an ELEVEN. So the fengshui master actually told the business owner that the last letter of the 11 should have a small letter 'n' instead of a big letter 'N'. 
Because when you write out the big letter 'N', the ending tip of the 'N' ends with an outward movement which bring out the fortune. It's like whatever you have earn you are not able to keep that fortune.

The fengshui master advice the business owner to change the last letter to a small letter 'n' so that the ending tip of the small letter 'n' hits the ground which actually helps to keep the fortune. Ever since they change to a new logo 7-11 starts to open alot of stores throughout the whole world.

7-11 current logo, I bet alot of people didn't even notice about the 7-11 logo is spell out with a small letter 'n' I find fengshui is so so interesting.
