Not according to the Harvard Study....check out the documentary "Happy".....you'll be surprised at what they found out.
Oh wait, those are the best places to live. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/07/global-liveability-index-2022-best-and-worst-places-to-live.html Vienna, Austria Copenhagen, Denmark Zurich, Switzerland Calgary, Canada Vancouver, Canada Geneva, Switzerland Frankfurt, Germany Toronto, Canada Amsterdam, Netherlands Osaka, Japan and Melbourne, Australia (tie) This is the list of happiest cities to live: Lisbon, Portugal Barcelona, Spain Athens, Greece Rome, Italy Sydney, Australia Madrid, Spain Toronto, Canada San José, Costa Rica Istanbul, Turkey Bangkok, Thailand
Its funny that the happeist places to live are located in the PIGS countries where they really don't like to work all that much. That is the life though, start going out on a weekday at 11pm for dinner, party until 5am then go to work, take a nap in the middle of the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIGS_(economics)
Places aren't happy, people are...this is a tourist poll, not a sociological study dude.....the Harvard study found the poorest people were the happiest. Bankok is the worst city in Thailand to live in ..Phuket is way more chill than Bankok..
