During the winter you can often gondolla rides to the tops of the alps, and then rent sleds and sled down basically the entire mountain on a windy path. During the summer, you can visit the lower elevations – all of the shops and sightseeing areas. Berne is my favorite city in Switzerland.
New Years is a big deal there as well. If you are visiting a small town there, as I was one year, don’t be surprised when the entire village comes tromping in through the hotel lobby and out in the streets in joyous celebration, or when the manager of the hotel doesn’t make you pay because of the inebriati—fun night he had. Visit visit go!



Australia is by far the most beautiful and best country on earth and ahead of
any region on earth. Go all around the world and see for yourself! Well for starters Australia has the cleanest and most beautiful beaches on earth, and the scenery is magnificant. I gaurantee you will not find a country or region
half as good as the Aussie outback and country as a whole. Australians are laid back and odopts the motto as “G’day mate”, “She’ll be right mate”, and “No worries mate”.
A list of the best five countries/regions are:
1.Australia 9 000 000 points
2.Norway 113 points
3.Canada 112 points
4.Switzerland 110 points
5.Sweden 109 points
5.Finland 109 points
5.New Zealand 109 points
5.Iceland 109 points
5.Alaska 109 points (though not a country this region just has to be considered right up there)
10.AUSTRIA 106 points
11.CROATIA 105 points
12.BAHAMAS 104 points
13.BARBADOS 103 points
14.FIJI 100 points
15.GREEK ISLAND 99 points
15.Ireland Republic 99 points
17.THAILAND 98 points
18.MALAYSIA 97 points
As you can see there are 4 countries and a region holding the same ranking as these countries and region are to close to judge. On top of the list I have exaggerated but this shows just how much better Australia is compared to the rest of the world. Behind the “Aussies” are Norway (2nd) just ahead of Canada (3rd. Switzerland comes in 4th in front of the chasing pack by only a single point. Alsaka being a region can also be paced among the 4 country composition.
Hahaha! Matt, that has got to be the most interesting (if perhaps lacking in authenticity) list I have ever seen!
How did your point system come about? 50-Year longtitudonal studies? Careful censuses? The number of square miles without a human inhabitant?
I’m glad to see that at least Switzerland made the list!
Whatever Matt!! Australia at best is just beautiful along it’s coast, albeit not most of it. It’s humungous vast outback is dry, desolate, barren and ugly as!! You have soooo got to be joking kid!! However, I do agree with you that Australia does have an excellent overall standard of living.
The most beautiful countries are:
New Zealand
Switzerland
Austria
Norway
The Holy Land.
