Dutch are among world's happiest people

Tuesday 27 July 2010

The Dutch are among the happiest people in the world, according to the latest Gallup World Poll.

The Netherlands is in joint fourth place in the ranking with Sweden and behind Denmark, Finland and Norway. Some 68% of the Dutch consider themselves to be happy, compared with 82% of the Danes.

The poll, carried out in 155 countries between 2005 and 2009, looked at people's satisfaction with their lives and asked them to score their daily experiences.

I have been living here for more than 30 years and I'm ecstatically happy!

But... 30 years ago, I was over the moon about living here, really!)

Well I am an American who visits Holland each year and I usually find myself laughing then I become very hungry and forgetful.
