I'm surprised Korea made that list. Of course, I never really saw the nice parts of Korea.

For the second ranking they clearly did not include either the weather or the friendliness of the people or the beauty of the people as criteria otherwise Germany would have never made it into the top 20 !

I am surprised that New Zealand is so far down on the list as Best Place to Stay. I have never been there but form what I've seen and heard it doesnt sound that bad
