    Why do they discourage snapping 3 people for a picture? They tell me it's bad luck...is it true? Is it just here? Or everywhere?

    Personally, i haven't heard of that too, until most recently. So i'm assuming it's safe then... :D

    Hmmm, 3 happens to be my "lucky" number.

    Have 3 kids, often take pictures of them together.

    So far, so good.

    As you are quite close to Vietnam, the superstition did not have to travel far.

    In Vietnam, it is bad luck to take a photo with three people in it. The person in the middle is believed to die soon.

    Some older people also think that if you take a picture of them it traps a part of their soul and they can't go to heaven or where ever they belive

    Perhaps that's the best answer. To me, i don't believe in this. But i just found it weird and wanted to know whether it's just here, or all over.

    I just found out that it's not good for 3 people to go travelling. It seems one of the 3 won't get along ... and potentially destroys friendship, etc.
