Superstitions

We talked about many superstitions in many countries, but do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?Is communication affected by superstitions?Do you believe in Japanese superstitions? If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do,use, or believe in them?

Yes, I think to talk about superstitions of our own countries is important because they came from kind of cultural things, so to tell about superstitions which you believe is the one good way to know or understand each other to me.
Yes, I believe some superstitions, but I am not sure they are Japanese superstitions or not. For example, when I get new shoes, it said “don’t wear new shoes after the sun set or your foot will get hurt with the new shoes.” I have believed it since when I was little, so I don’t go out with new shoes in the evening and when it’s not fine day because my Mom and my Grandmother taught me about that when I was little. I guess my Mom got the superstition from my Grandmother when she was kid. When I wear new shoes after the sun set my toe or leg usually got some hurts actually. I am not sire this superstition is one of Japanese superstitions. Maybe, it’s believed only in my family.

I have never heard about the superstition,“don’t wear new shoes after the sun set or your foot will get hurt with the new shoes.” That's interesting. I think some of superstitions have real reasons. Do you think there is real reason why we shouldn't wear new shoes after the sun set? I think it because our feet become swollen on evening.

I have never heard “don’t wear new shoes after the sun set or your foot will get hurt with the new shoes!",too. I think many people don't know this. I think this related to where you were born. Where are you from?
