Most of the people really believed that such date - August 08, 2008 abbreviated as [ 08.08.08 ] is a lucky day for everyone. In Chinese culture, 8 is an extremely lucky number. (i believed so, since my date of birth has 8 as well 03.08.87)

Moreover, one of the most common event on this day is the: BIG DATE - Wedding. Couple believed that it’s a lucky wedding date. In fact, churches in the country today and around the world are fully booked for weddings. Hotels and some other reception areas for weddings are fully booked as well.

Another significant event is the opening of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games also known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.

However, according to some feng sui experts (as what i have watched a while ago in TV Patrol ), 08.08.08 is not really a lucky date. An irony to what most people believed.
