france, some benefits of living in:

Great pastries on every corner. A society in which a proposal to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 provokes a huge fight, as opposed to a society in which a proposal to give some people health insurance provokes a huge fight. A legal website called Deezer that has free on-demand play-as-many-times-as-you-want popular music (I'm loving this one). Really fast, cheap internet/phone/TV service (also loving). And all the European livable cities/urban planning stuff too, I suppose.
