Congratulations to the great country of France for coming in first place in the "2005 Quality of Life Index" put out by INTERNATIONAL LIVING at the end of every year. Since 1979 the U.S.A. has always come in 1st Place but this year, for the first time, It's slipped to 7th place. 193 countries were rated and researched by taking in 9 important criteria : Cost of Living, Leisure / Culture, Economy, Environment, Freedom, Health (care), Infrastructure, Safety, and Climate. Being a part time resisdent of Paris I'm happy to see my "Adopted Country" scored so high !!
And well done to you for getting such a stunningnight shot capture of the Eifell Tower Mark. Was interesting to read the 'about'. Going to do an interent search now for all the results. Best for 2006!
