Are ‘livable foreign countries’ really livable?

Surveys often show that Denmark and Norway are the best countries to live in.
Vienna is said to be the best city to live in.

But is this really the case? The evidence for this includes economic strength, safety, political stability and social welfare.
and social welfare. However, something important is missing.
: climate, human nature and food.

In Scandinavian countries, for example, the sun does not shine much throughout the year. Is a country with long winters really a good place to live?
Vienna and Copenhagen are said to be good places to live, but another survey showed that Vienna is the best place to live in Europe.
However, in another survey, Vienna said to be the most unfriendly people in Europe.
Europeans who have been at war for many years are distrustful of people.
Also, in Europe, such as Scandinavia, and the USA, the food is not half as good as in other countries. In foreign countries
We miss Japanese food when we are in a foreign country.

There is also a survey on the level of happiness. Japanese people are said to have a low level of happiness.
However, people with high ideals and demands tend to use a point deduction method. People who think it can’t be this way tend to score more harshly. The simpler people are, the more likely they are to be happy.

In this light, the usual international questionnaires are not very helpful.
I have lived abroad for 10 years in five different countries and I still think that Japan is one of the best countries.

On the other hand, Japan is not well versed in foreign affairs, is weak in politics and economics, and thinks only of its own immediate surroundings.

If we can improve on these points, the impression of recent inbound foreigners that ‘Japan is the best country in the world’ will be correct.
