I agree with Japan being #1 and at least you put the USA on the list although I’ve lived in Australia for most of my life and I wouldn’t even put here on a top ten countries list. It’s certainly #1 on the most expensive countries list. I would say:
1) Japan
2) USA
3) Canada
4) Switzerland
5) Germany
…
10) South Korea although sorry but the people there are DUMB!
11) Serbia (because of the food and how cheap it is – that’s the only good thing. Best tasting food I’ve had in my life but not the traditional stuff – fast food is good.)
11) Australia but only because it has the best weather and no natural disasters. There’s nothing inspiring or motivating about wanting to be in Australia. Those other countries I listed at least have some things about them that are cool or inspirational. Australia has no diversity of geography to speak of, no history to speak of, no culture to speak of, the people have no shared values to speak of, does not produce anything the world needs besides raw materials…I guess the only thing interesting about Australia is that it feels like a different country every 5 minutes. Everything closes at 5PM – you finish work and already everything is boarded-up…a burger costs $15 with no fries and no drink included – the drink is $7.50 and you get a small cup and no refills…the food doesn’t even taste good… In Japan you can have all-you-can-eat for $6 and the food is beyond any comparison (it’s better over there). Same with the USA although the USA is pricier than Japan now.
I would only recommend Australia to those who love getting mauled by great white sharks. I only speak from experience because I’ve lived in all of the countries listed, and many people would disagree with me I’m sure but this is how I feel and none of what I’ve said is made-up.
