Psychologists studies have actually come to the same conclusion! On most multinational studies on happiness or life satisfaction, the Danes always rank at or near the top.

Danes also rank at the top of European suicide rates - which means that they are dishonest when they say they are happy - which means the Dutch, Germans etc are happier

There is road rage too, and bums, and very dirty places .
Police , especially local police , is not cool at all.
Tourists dread Parisian airports.
But everyone seems to have a love story with Paris, it's ununderstandable!

Image and reputation.
Paris must have been a nice place during the 40's and 50's if you had money.

People in Barcelona aren't exactly happy.
They must have studied the people living from Plaza Cataluña to the sea.
That area is inhabited almost exclusively by drunk tourists, agressive African prostitutes and Romanian thiefs. I bet they are happy people.

Maybe it's because they are simple.
