What's the Demo?

Before we go ahead with our latest update from Amsterdam, I thought it might be fun to give our most loyal readers a little feedback about themselves. To date, we have seen some clear trends in the EuroTrip readers database.
 
 
As you can see, nearly half of our registered readers (46%) requested a postcard from the Czech Republic, which puts it handily at the top of the list of nations by postcard-lustfulness. Italy and Wales are a distant 2nd and 3rd place. And sadly, France received no requests. Even Luxemburg, which wasn't even a choice, had more requests than France. 

So what does that say about our readers? What does it say about the Czech Republic? I did a little research on the web and cross correlated our database with national census, actuarial, social security, the Edgar databases, etc.. Oh, and and just for fun, I hacked into the Amazon readers database too.  It turns out the average registered EuroTrip reader:

  • has a university degree or higher
  • voted Democrat in the last election
  • owns stock in 8.3 publicly traded companies
  • eats Pringles, but denies it
  • has read 2.4 books in the Harry Potter series
  • has never visited the Czech Republic

There you have it. So all you folks who thought you were being cool and original by picking the Czech Republic for your postcard - surprise! You are the demo(graphic). But don't worry, as we said when you signed up, we promise not to sell or give away this vital, personal information*. 

Now back to our regularly scheduled update by Lisa -
