Where The Good Times Roll

It’s Friday again and though it may not be Amami Wave-Set night for you, it’ll probably mean a snifter or two and a good time.

Having a good time is one of the three most important aspects in life for many people according to survey results from Statista Consumer Insights.

The Japanese  are particularly keen on enjoying themselves, as 77 percent of respondents there consider “having a good time” one of the three most important aspects in life.


The Koreans are party animals too, it seems, followed by the French, the Germans and the Brits.


Curiously, the home of Bunga Bunga doesn’t rate in the top ten and the home of the Carnival – Brazil – only makes tenth.

The Chinese and Americans are pretty much the same in their enthusiasm for a blast.

  1. “crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women,” Eddie channelling Conan The Barbarian.

  2. I seem to remember those epic cocktail-fests hosted by Future Horizons used to go on from Wednesday to Friday

    • A few carried onto Saturday if the flights didn’t work out for the Americans or Japanese.

      I think you may have gone home but we once took over a whole backstreet in Greece with tables moved outside and Wally R told each restautant to bring out bowls of their best food and to keep everybody in wine, beer and ouzo.

      I hate to think what the final bill was, but that’s the advantage of being CEO of a major company 🙂

      Conclusion : semiconductor people know how to have a very good time every day of the week !!

      And we’re not ‘woke’. Misogynist possibly, but never woke !

  3. I wonder how the question was phrased ?

    Japanese men go out every Wednesday for an evening’s drinking themselves paralytic, whilst many men in the UK do so on Friday, then watch 22 men kick a ball around for an hour and a half, then carry on drinking even more every Saturday evening. Similarly Germany and France, though possibly not quite so extreme.

    Whereas Brazil, Spain, India, China and the US all have set days such as Carnival, Fiesta or Superbowl where you do that sort of thing to a greater excess but there’s far fewer of those days.

  4. The most important thing in life is to work and create value. If you occupation is the art of war and providing valuable security then the most important thing is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women, and hold their wives and daughters close to your breast. If you occupation is manufacturing then the most important thing is to create quality products at competitive prices and bankrupt the competition.
