Dear Siuman - Wouldn't it be fun to live in any one of the top 20?; perhaps someday not too far in the future. In the meantime, gotta make do with the hand I'm dealt with.
Obviously I just have to ask (yesterday) and here comes a new post! Wonderful to see you back! (I hope I don’t have to remind you again!! :-)))
A rather expected order in the list! You can of course notice that some countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea... are not classified. In my mind surprisingly deep red colour in Venezuela and also Mongolia is fairly red.
nice to see you back after a long time!
interesting post,
no wonder most developed countries are laying toward red side..and no wonder majority of these countries are where democracy and people's power is at its best!
good to see u back gal! (;
KW - Look forward to the day to live in one of the top 20, (or perhaps the top 23). We can achieve it. Thank you.
Peter - Good observation, I believe that living in a developed countries doesn't guarantee a happiness.
Deepsat - Nice to see you here again. All the best.
Yazi - Thanks for your visit, keep in touch.
Wow! Interesting!
malaysia is at 17!
i never knew ... haha
thank youuu :-)
Hello
Happines is a state of mind
and something gentle and kind.
I am looking for different types of blogs to link with, would you like a link?
Bye!
I'm not surprised seeing Denmark at the top of the list, being from the U.S., maybe I should think about relocating...
Hi :)
I am happy that India could find a place .:):)
Hola,
your song "Pink Ginger" is now at YouTube:

Hope you like it
*biting nails*
Where is Brazil in this list?
Hugs girl.
Azel - Love that gift. Excellent music and artwork. You made me feel special.
Kuan - If you relocate to Denmark, send me post card. :)
Steve - Thought we were linked?
Deepak - India has become a big player globally, of course there is a place for it.
Alves - you can find the report from the webstite. Brazil is a lovely place.
:)I visited the other blog ,really mouth watering one :)
妳好久沒更新文章！
最近很忙？
Wow!!! singapore is no where found in the list. Now I know why my dog is so unhappy.
Time for a new post? How are you doing? When will you be in Paris? ...
Great!!!
Congratulations.
Hi :)
No plans for posting a new one ????
It's nice to know Malta comes up in the top 20.
Just a litle "hello" and some delayed best wishes for a good 2009! Would love to see you active on this blog again!
新年恭喜
Great data. Switzerland is one of the best places to live in the world, as well.
Long time no see, Ginger. I don't think my USA deserves to be in the top 20, maybe with Mr. Obama as President, I'll change my views. I need to catch up on your blog big time. Take care.
hi pink.. uve been as silent as me.. lol.. ive updated mine though:P
Ok, it's obvious the most happy countries are the politically neutral ones that never get into it with anyone. Totally agreed.
Cheers,
Quixote
I know, Denmark is one of the happiest nations in the world. I wonder what is it like to live in one. Sadly US is among the unhappiest nations.
I guess you have abandoned your blog... just wanted to check and say "hello"! :-)
At least you can still say "hello" again on your blog! :-)
