You're viewing a single thread.
The older buildings in Hong Kong often need to clarify this to avoid mix ups. Back in the day it's not uncommon to see signs advertising a business on the 3rd floor of a building, for example, to have 3 樓 2字 (3rd floor, number 2) to tell people they're on the 3rd floor but you need the press the 2 button in the lift. Also some (most? all?) skip the 4th floor for bad luck.
Thank you for this clarification. Also threeth, lol.
Dang it I did too many edits lol
I shouldn't have said anything. LoL.
