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

Any idea how many countries there are? I mean, if you look at most of the countries who are ranked higher than New Zealand aren't really bad either; I mean, do you really think the number 20 of that list isn't a good place to stay? A strange response, Anubis...

Anyway, Lord of Alcohol, are you sure about Sierra Leone as one of the best places for technology??? I read in the paper Sierra Leone is actually the worst place to live at this moment...

This mainly applies to fans of daily bloodshed in your front yard. ;P
