An old article, but still...

Denmark 'happiest place on earth'
If it is happiness you are seeking a move to Denmark could be in order, according to the first scientist to make a world map of happiness.
Adrian White, from the UK's University of Leicester, used the responses of 80,000 people worldwide to map out subjective wellbeing.
Denmark came top, followed closely by Switzerland and Austria. The UK ranked 41st. Zimbabwe and Burundi came bottom.
M'sieur le President, I encourage you to send your entire cabinet on a fact-finding mission to Denmark to partake in beer and shenanigans.

What kind of grammar is that? I call this article and, in fact, this entire "study" into question. This is obviously a vile smear campaign orchestrated by Denmark to take a bite out of the Burundi quality of life, one which is jealously coveted by many nations across the world.

The exchange rate was 2.5 SF = $1 U.S. back when I was there and didn't seem too expensive but I'm sure that's changed.
Switzerland's a super clean country. Italians seem to be Switzerland's version of the U.S.'s Mexicans, filling jobs that the Swiss don't want to do. Although Switzerland isn't that big, it's broken up into regions. I lived in the Italian area (Lugano) so that may be the reason I saw so many Italian workers. Lugano City/Lake Lugano is such a scenic area.
Thumbs up for Switzerland if they have good net bandwidth to seal the deal!

This is an excellent proposition. I feel the entire cabinet should summer in Denmark for the benefit of the people.
Also we must immediately work to remedy this trend! Henceforth the national motto shall be "Burundi: Turn that Frown Upsidedown (or you'll be fed to the lions)!"

Burundi needs to start cutting into China's WoW gold farming business.

Where do you think China buys its WoW gold from? I should know...I have to account for it all!
M'sieur le President, after reviewing the general ledger account, I have determined that the royal treasury should have no problem supporting my esteemed colleague's proposal.
We may have to incentivize the tax collectors though...I leave the method up to you.

Denmark is great, very nice chicks.
Never been in Burundi though, but the cleanest country gotta be NorthKorea, the main streets look like ghosttowns. Not very trafficked and not many cars but huge wide roads.
Never been in Switzerland either but beautiful but expensive sounds like one helluva golddigger so i'll pass.
Denmark is great tho, just take "The Arrow" across Skauneland and party on!
Then head to Christiania and puff puff pass

Yeah, we just need to stop all the swedish males from coming too. I dont think the money they put down for beer covers the cleaning bills from their puking all over the streets after getting drunk
