The World Is Happy

The title of this post isn’t necessarily connected with the fact that me and Mr. BF have to postpone our upcoming trip to India, for maybe another four months *sigh*. It’s got something to do with work and the saddest part is, it’s both of our work. I can’t believe it myself. I thought everyone vacations in July. But noooo… in some parts of this world, people works harder than ever. “They are saving for winter, Darling,” Mr. BF would say. Right. I’m still heartbroken anyway.

But on a lighter note, my Yahoo news told me this morning that the United States only ranked at #16 in the ‘Happiest Country In The World’ list. This doesn’t make sense as I believe we have the greatest amusement parks and the biggest roller coasters that would make a lot of our people happy. Well, except for the one that decapitated a teenager a couple of days ago. No, wait. Okay, maybe we are not the happiest nation on earth because there are depressive stuff that always gets in the way of that so-called happiness.

Zimbabwe is said to be the most unhappy nation. And Denmark tops the list as the world’s happiest country. This, however, brings out some opinions that being ‘happy’ equals being ‘boring’. Well I don’t know about the Danish, but I know Indian people created the most amazing Anuschka bags on earth that are far from ‘boring’ and India does not even make the top 10.

How surprisingly disturbing.

So before I am back on continuing my rants about having to postpone the India trip, I gotta put the happy countries list, my own comments added.

Denmark
A chick-flick and its sequel (The Prince and Me) about a Royal Danish romance were made with Denmark as its backdrop, and the producers didn’t even have to create some fictional European country. If Hollywood thinks they’re happy, then they must be really happy!

Switzerland
Again, where did The Sound of Music had its happy ending? Ah yes, in a beautiful scenery of Switzerland mountains.

Austria
They have the best desserts. I’d be happy if I have great desserts everyday.

Iceland
They have Bjork. They SHOULD be happy.

Bahamas
They have the beautiful beaches… and Rihanna. What more can a tropical country ask for?

Finland
I’m not sure why they’re considered happy, but I hear it’s pretty there. So maybe that’s why.

Sweden
Hello, I can spend hours at IKEA. I can’t imagine living in its country of origin. I’ll be in my own personal paradise. I can understand why the Swedish are happy.

Bhutan
Um… no, I don’t know why they are regarded happy.

Brunei
My cousin once visited Brunei for work and he said even the street-sweeping guy wears Rolex. No kidding. I think if this is true, they should be at number one and Hollywood should make a movie about THAT!

Canada
Happy? Really?

All the talk about happiness is ironically making me depressed. I’m going out for a meeting in a second. Which of my bags is happier?

This Premium Hibiscus Antique Anuschka Hobo, or…

This Anuschka Tall Tote Collage?

From depression to daily fashion dilemma. Way to go, Sophie. Hahaha!
