People have different customs in different countries. For example, if i was back home in my countries. For example, if i was back home in my country and somebody give me some flowers as a gift, there have to be  an uneven number of flowers in the bunch, maybe five or seven. That's our custom. If the number not right, it bring bad luck. But it's different here. The bunches of flowers here always have even numbers, like six or twelve. It hasn't happened to me yet, but it's a problem for me if somebody bring me a bunch of flowers like that. i've thought about it and maybe if I just take out one flower and give it back, as a shared gift, then I have a bunch with five flowers and they have a single flower. Then everything would be okay.
