瑞典 Sweden
瑞典,來自北歐的夢幻國度,人人嚮往的美麗仙境。讓瑞典人幸福的原因,在於他們傳統的生活觀念:Fika。根據這個傳統,瑞典人每天在工作期間,只要手上的事情稍微告一段落,他們一定會離開辦公室,和朋友或同事去喝一杯咖啡。15分鐘的放鬆時光,讓他們可以在工作上保持2個小時的愉快心情,難怪咖啡在瑞典這麼受歡迎!
Sweden is a country whose population consistently shows a high level of satisfaction with life. Their secret is the Swedish tradition of Fika, the word used to describe the habit of taking a break from work to go and drink coffee and discuss news with friends. These little sessions last just 15 minutes but take place every two hours. Given this habit, it’s little surprise to learn Sweden is one of the biggest consumers of coffee in the world.
澳大利亞 Australia
澳大利亞有汙染最少的自然環境,還有團結高水準的社會結構。這裡的居民熱愛BBQ,我們可以在各地的公園內看到居民聚在一起烤肉。就算你在這裡找不到可以和你一起烤肉的好朋友,那也可以多多接觸澳大利亞廣大的土地與美麗的大自然。
Australia has very low levels of pollution, high levels of civic engagement, and tight-knit communities. The reason for this, people say, is all down to Australians’ love of barbecues. People are always arranging get-togethers in local parks in order to spend time and socialize with their friends. But if you don’t have any Australian friends, you can always go on the BBQ and XXXX Brewery tour to meet some. You’ll also get the chance to visit breweries and try traditional Australian meat dishes.
