NewsWeek chooses best countries in the world to live in
The latest edition of NewsWeek will no doubt create some controversy with its list of the 100 best countries in the world to live in. Finland comes in first and South Africa is at 82 – long behind countries such as – well, even Poland, which is in the mid-20’s. We also lag considerably behind all of the former Soviet countries as well as Russia, etc. The survey takes into consideration, amongst other things, the opportunities for a child growing up in the country, the health sector, the education sector, etc and South Africa was clearly found to be lagging behind these countries in all of these aspects.

These surveys have been done for quite some time, and I believe they are very subjective. As different people have different priorities, there can't be the best or the worst country to leave in. I love South Africa, and despite its problems, to me it's much nicer to live here, than in Russia. The weather, the food, the space, and the best.... the maids!!!
