The world's happiest countries

http://www.relax.com.sg/relax/media/303506/Happiest_countries.html

I am not sure how they were rated and concluded in the survey above...seeing some of these their people still living in poverty.

Costa Rica is the happiest country in the world. Singapore rank 40th, and Malaysia at 20th (i need to confirm this).....

Not surprisingly, Zimbabwe, which has an AIDS rate of 25%, an average life expectancy of 39, and an 80% poverty rate, ranked near the bottom at 177.

Happiness is subjective. To some, having loads of money and materialistic wealth is happiness but to some doing social work that does not pay much makes them happy. I have also met people who lives frugally but willing to splurge when it comes to fulfilling life experiences (learning to pilot a plane, travel extensively, picking up a language) and also people who have loads of cash but have not experience much in their lives........so what makes you happy?
