Those little steps in Hong Kong
Tripso.com, The last honest travel site
When navigating around Hong Kong, you need to watch your step. Not only does the country not require ramps for accessibility, Buddhists consider them bad luck. They believe bad spirits cannot climb steps but they can come up a ramp, so every building will have some small step at the entrances (go ahead, check — I dare you to find one that doesn’t).
Oh I wondered about that. I nearly fell flat on my face on one tiring day when I tripped while entering a department store on Hong Kong island.
