Last night I watched a fascinating program. They had done a survey of 10,000 people and made a model of an "average Japanese person". They then got celebrities, put them in chairs that moved up and down with an alarming jerky motion, asked them the same questions and then moved them up and down depending on their answers. That part was kind of irrelevant and took a lot of time, but it was worth it to see them clinging onto the side of their chairs for dear life every time they moved.I learnt that an average Japanese person...
- kisses their partner 3 times a week
- wakes up at 6.30
- talks to their partner for 1 hour 6 minutes a day
- e-mails their partner 7 times week (and checks their partner`s phone while they are in the bath twice a year)
- has about 125 pounds in their wallet (unless you are a MD, in which case it is several thousand!!)
- rents one adult video a month
- puts on 5kg after getting married
- has one extra-martial affair
- has a salary of 1500 pounds a month (plus a yearly bonus of the same amount)
- works 9 hours a day
- sleeps 6 hours a night
- drinks 71 litres of beer a year
- commutes 1 hour 18 minutes a day
Are you average?
