What a subjective load of shit. I know for a fact that Iceland is not a happy place. They have no jobs and nothing to do other than drink crappy Aquavit. Everything is expensive and there is no hope for anyone there to strive for a better life.
-
There's lies, damn lies, and statistics.
-
I would like to know how they figure happiness into a poll or how they come up with these stats. These stats are ridiculous and no one knows the truth about a whole country and how they feel since no one answers truthfully polls or anyone who asks them how they feel. Just like those dumb stats about the best city to live in I laugh at them since no one knows how people feel about the city they live in some people are born pessimistic and never like anything about anything others can be to optimistic. I would never make a move based on that I base my family and good friends being near as how happy I am with an area. It is people that bring you happiness not money or places and things.

Finland has a higher suicide rate than the US, yet it's rated as "happier". Figure that one out.
-
Ah, but Finns are at their happiest when they are miserable.

Alcohol and too many hours of darkness probably contribute to the suicide rate.

I've been to Italy.
It's beautiful, warm, and the food is wonderful.
I thought it would be rated higher, everyone I know loves Italian food.
Maybe the score is lower because of all the cats roaming around in the coliseum.

I've been to Europe once and we went to Germany and Italy. The coliseum is awesome but St Peter's cathedral was more impressive. Was disappointed to see graffiti on the colliseum, shame that people wouldn't have more respect. That area of Rome is the neatest... I think the Roman Forum is over there too right?

A old car buddy lives in New Zealand.. beautiful and safe. You can walk down main streets in large towns in middle of night of with money in your hands and no one bothers you.
To get anything shipped in though..ouch.
He bought a Dodge Challenger from the US and the import taxes were stifiling.
I picked up a fender for the Challenger for him and shipped it. The used fender cost $450 and shipping was $450 and import taxes were another $400 or so.
