One thing that's interesting here is that he says (in New York) that 4 is a very difficult number to visualise. He says it's sometimes like a black hole, as far as I remember. It's interesting because in Japan 4 is 'shi' and is a bad-luck number because it's associated with death. I think it's only because of the sound of the word, but I was still surprised when he said it. Sometimes places don't include the number 4 (eg. I saw a locker room once, in which there was no number 4 locker) similar to hotels that don't have a number 13 room or floor.
