It really depends on what your definition of Living is as compared with others in general. You have to look at what type of seasons/weather you prefer, type of cuisines, and basically the country's cultural background as compared to your personality. If you're looking for a good standard of living, with big accomodations, cheap cars and amenities, I would suggest the USA (California), which is getting very international. The weather is also fantastic! If you like the night life or are a foodie, South-east/East Asia is very renowned for it, but their cities tend to be very expensive to live in. Such as Hong Kong (Mandarin Cantonese), Seoul (Hangul) or Singapore (English/Mandarin). But one thing's for sure, if you're ever hungry at 3am, there will still be a place for you to have supper! But the working environment is very competitive. The UK is more slow-paced when compared with the other 2 regions, however they do not react kindly toward foreign workers, and you may find it harder to get a job to settle down. The weather is also full of surprises and it will get very cold and wet most of the year. But, it is a very good place for international students to come to, in the short term. Food is especially great if you live in London! All in all i cant say much, as I would think that my home country Singapore is the best country to live in, although I do admit I've always harboured the intention to live abroad; the likes of the USA or Europe, as their culture makes me feel like I'm experiencing new things everyday.

Sweden feels very much like an ideal home to me, but it is all subjective, of course. So, perhaps more generally, I can say this: To me, the best country in which to live is the one where you have a sense of belonging; where you have interesting opportunities for study and work; where you have the support of good friends who are close by; where there are interesting things to see and do; and where you have the chance to live a comfortable and safe life. And of course, there should also be good travel connections, so that you can go and experience as many other countries as possible, and get to know what it is that is so genuinely special about each of those places!

I agree with Russell that UK weather is unpredictable and tends to be relatively cool and wet for most of the year. It totally untrue, however, that we 'do not react kindly towards foreign workers'. Britain is known for its relaxed and tolerant attitude towards other cultures. A vast proportion of our workforce, especially in London, is from overseas, including both short-term and long-term residents. These people wouldn't be here if they didn't feel welcome.

I have lived in Cameroon and Chile, and I loved the people and climate in both of those places. I've also travelled to over 25 different countries worldwide, and there are positives and negatives about each place. However, I do love my country of Canada. We are very welcoming to foreigners, we have a stable economy, a lot of opportunities for education, and I think the people are friendly. However, I hate Canadian winters. I am not looking forward to snow for the next 5 months!

Anywhere I can see snow easily but not Korea.
