Your new employer requires that you take a physical to qualify for the company health and life insurance programs, and you have to get your physical this week. Using your new Japanese cell phone, you call the doctor’s office. You hear the receptionist say in Japanese, “This is the doctor’s office. How can I help you?” You hope your answer is understandable Japanese, “I’d like to make an appointment for a physical. I can come in from eleven to two in the afternoon.” Her answer comes immediately, “Of course, we do many physicals for company insurance programs. In fact, we have one doctor who dedicates half of his day just to giving physicals for school and work starting at twelve in the afternoon and continuing until six in the evening to accommodate people that can’t get off work to get them.” In Japanese, you answer, “Can I come in tomorrow sometime from four to six o’clock?” The helpful receptionist answers in Japanese, “I’m sorry; we’re all booked for tomorrow, but we’re not booked from Monday to Wednesday at that time. Could you come in on one of those days?” “Sure,” you answer in Japanese, “I’ll come in on Monday at six o’clock.”

Why not?” Your friends have been talking to you about Japanese culture and numbers. “Everyone needs a lucky number,” they exclaim in Japanese! “How about forty-two?” you ask in Japanese; you’ve always liked the way forty-two sounds in Japanese. They look at you as if you’re working with an odd number of chopsticks. “You know…,” you say, “The number forty-two, like in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; the answer to life, the universe, and everything.” Now they’re sure you’ve got a screw loose. “Japanese numbers have meaning,” they explain in Japanese, “Some Japanese numbers are unlucky, and some are very lucky. Some are lucky depending on when you were born. Haven’t you picked out your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers?” You confess this is all news to you and you haven’t the slightest notion of what’s lucky and unlucky in Japanese numbers. “What about a number between eleven and nineteen?” you ask, because those are the numbers you just learned in Japanese. “Well, it’s time you began your introduction to the symbols of Japanese numbers,” they say, and they lead you off to the computer, the modern-day numerologist to find your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers.
