I look forward to hear from Nono, but for Chinese the "8" has special value, like it brings good luck.
For this reason, prices in Malaysian spas are never round but always end with 8, such as 168 RM, 198RM, etc. YES: they give you 2RM change back.
With rupiah, evidently prices cannot end with 8, but those folks thought to sell packages for a number of minutes that end with "8"
Amazing for me.
Knowing the precision and meticulousity of Chinese, I wonder if someone is taking the time with a chronograph, pushing you out of the room exactly after 148 minutes...
