The UAE has been listed below countries such as Colombia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mongolia, Swaziland, Azerbaijan and North Korea in terms of quality of life, according to a new list compiled by a magazine specialising in moving overseas.
International Living magazine’s 2010 Quality of Life Index ranks 194 countries in terms of their quality of living and ranked the UAE 141st, just below Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and North Korea.
“This isn't about best value, necessarily. It's about the places in the world where the living is, simply put, great,” claims the magazine, which is based in Ireland.
The countries were scored in nine categories including cost of living, culture and leisure, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and risk, and climate.
Yeah right....I'd love to go work as an airline pilot in Colombia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mongolia, Swaziland, Azerbaijan and North Korea. What a load of shyte....The only thing I find surprising about this is that some folk believe it! I'll bet that the author of this garbage has never been to any of these places. Where are Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan anyway. Kenya.....OOOOOhhhhhhhh. Lions and Zebra on my manicured lawn. What joy, what hallucination......
