Well,l'm not sure that if other countries have superstitions or not, but l know that there are some superstitions in my country,China.
For example，the number 4 and 14,it means bad luck or die something,because number 4 pronuonce in chinese similar pronuonce die,so some people don't like to use number 4 or 14,when you in China,waiting an elevator，somethimes you will find it doesn't have number 4 elevator or fourth floor.
also it's not that good if you place a big mirror right oppsite your bed,because maybe you would get up to a bathroom or something at late night,when you didnt turn on the light,you would see ghost in the mirror,hahah,but l dont believe this,l have tried many times before, my grandma told me this when l was little,maybe she just wanted to scare me.
l heard that in America,if you break a mirror it means bad luck,and a superstition about black cat but l forget.
so what interesting superstitions in your country?

Interesting! At my place, it's said that if your eyes suddenly start blinking on their own or if you mistakenly put on your clothes inside out, then you're going to get some money. :)
There are many more but I can't recall them right now as we don't really take them seriously nowadays.

Here we have many. One of them is, we do believe if we can make a wish with the shooting star....our dream may come true...so still when I see , I try to make a wish....lol
2. If right plum scratches....it means expenditure will go up....if left plum scratches money will come.
3. If one has a black spot under his/her foot, there are frequent chances for him/her to go to abroad!
This blog reminds me one discussion about a similar topic.
There are a lot of superstitions in Ukraine. But they are similar or the same with Russian superstitions.
Some most known superstitions are:
- If you see somebody carries an empty bucket, then something bad will happen.
- If a black cat has crossed a way in front of you, something bad will happen.
- If you have broken a mirror, something bad will happen.
- If you are whistling a lot, then you will lose all your money.

Hi Elissa!
:D :D Ghost in the mirror when we wake up! It sounds scary... lol...
They say, if we suddenly get wounded (bleeding) at home, it means one of family members is in danger. It is even filmed in drama oftentimes. :D I'm not sure cos' I've proved that it doesn't always happen.
Thank you so much for your nice topic. Keep writing!
