Hold out your hands. Go ahead, it's okay, no one's watching you. Okay, now that you can see your hands clearly, look for any moles. My hands? On my right hand, I have two moles on my index finger and one mole on my pinky.
According to Vietnamese superstitions, this means I'm a happy person with many friends. How much more accurate can that be?! I think these old, haggling, gossipy women just might have gained more credibility with the accurate depiction of my life based on where I find these black dots on my hands.
If it went any further, I just might have to pull a Kimber Henry and go to a plastic surgeon to extend my love lines. Sorry, Nip/Tuck reference.
To you non-Vietnamese Xangans, I'll translate from thumb to pinky.
Buon - Sad
Vui - Happy
Xui - Unlucky
Tinh - Love
Ban - Friends
Go on, go ahead, find your moles!!
True
