Happiest Place...

I may not live in one of those happiest countries but I always know that being happy lies within your heart and soul. If you want to be happy, you can be happy anywhere you are. I have no idea why almost all the places happened to be in Europe..Is it because the weather, the culture or what? So, are you curious about those places? Check this out..
