世論 What Japan Thinks

Here’s another quickie as I tidy up a bunch of goo Ranking surveys clogging up my inbox. This time they looked at what happenings may you think it’s going to be a good day.

Demographics

On the 19th of November 2009 1,166 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 59.9% of the sample were female, 13.4% in their teens, 20.6% in their twenties, 28.2% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 8.3% in their fifties, and 6.3% aged sixty or older.

My lucky event would have to be getting on the train to find the only empty seat is the end of a row. Or perhaps having a cute woman sitting beside me on the train fall asleep on my shoulder, but don’t tell my wife I said that…
