I wanna be happy

Years ago, I read in an issue of Reader’s Digest magazine that Denmark is recognized as the happiest country on earth.  Since then, that country has been so intriguing to me.  I started on searching for its location on map and, eventually, learned some things about Scandinavian and Nordic countries.

Denmark is a place where you can find best of both worlds.  City life and rural life are in harmony, which offer fascinating old castles, grand churches, scenic lanscapes, and music festivals. Its capital, Copenhagen, somehow puts its tourists in a trance of past ages through the ancient buildings juxtaposed in blocks.  Although rich in historic landmarks, tourists could find some Denmark hotels and Copenhagen hotels that are modern and stylish.

Another country that caught my attention is Iceland.  Despite its cool and chilly name, I’ve learned that Iceland is far from what I imagined.  It is not like the aspects of Antartica.  Iceland is rich in panoramic nature and amusing wildlife.  Aside from those, the country has night life as well, and for that matter, the city of Reykjavík could be the best place.  Downtown bars are usually so lively and fun that some serve its customers until six in the morning on weekends.  In Iceland hotels and Reykjavík hotels, there are also bars that tourists could hang out in.

Although those countries are known to have high cost of living, I am still longing to experience how it is like to be in happy countries like those.  I need not settle there, just a visit in Denmark and Iceland would surely make me the happiest!
