Norway still the world's best place to live

Just came across this article in Aftenposten:
Norway still the world's best place to live

After having a long conversation with some close friends last night about the quality of life there, and in light of my recent experience while on vacation in Oslo, I thought it was worth mentioning and linking to.

According to the article, the United Nations ranked Norway as having the highest standard of living in the world. The U.S. fell on the scale at 8th place, France 16th, and the worst 23 countries are all in Africa with "war-torn" Sierra Leone in last place.
