The Tuesday corner
March 14, 2014
What day of the week were you born?
This is a very important question in Myanmar. It dictates what you can be named, where you pray and who you should marry! Since I was born on a Tuesday, that is my auspicious day, the day of the week on which I should schedule special events (like Gotham dinners, ha!) or make major decisions. I should worship at the Tuesday corner of a temple and I should marry a man born on a Thursday (oops) but definitely not one born on a Wednesday afternoon (at least I got that part right). These sorts of superstitions are an important part of Myanmar life.
