Later my mother told me that "apparently" left handed people were mystics of dark arts in Chinese folklore. I apparently redeemed myself though when I caught a spider in the house and released it outside unharmed. Any cultural insight on those instances?

Sorry to pick your brain while immersed in HK.

Also sorry, if my mom was full of umm..whooplah.
hahaha actually I'm not really aware of those things.

but this is not the 1st time Caucasians have asked me sumthing like this.
I've only heard sumthiing that's similar to touch wood. but instead of touching wood you spit or sumthing.
but yeah I dun do so anyways coz I'm not a superstitious kinda person.
