... Some popular travel destinations such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States fell into the ranks of the unfriendly or rude countries in the survey, placing 34th, 42nd, and 29th (out of 59) respectively...
... At the bottom end of the scale, Kuwait snags 59th out of 59 countries in terms of friendliness and ease of settling in...
... Joining Kuwait near the bottom are Japan, which earns poor scores from expats who say the language is difficult to learn and the people are nice, but do not welcome foreigners into their culture; and Denmark, which has the same reputation of being kind to foreigners but keeping them at arm's length...”
