The Middle East has long had a reputation for being one of the world's perennial trouble spots. But for expatriates, the tiny Persian Gulf county Bahrain ranks as one of the most welcoming places to work.

That's the surprising result of a new survey of 3,100 expatriates conducted by HSBC Bank. Bahrain ranked first in one key measure of how easy it is for expatriates to set up a new life for their families. It received high marks from expats who like the country's easy access to modern health care, decent and affordable housing, and network of social groups that expatriates can join.

Canada, which ranked first in a similar survey last year, fell to second place on HSBC's integration score, which measures how easily foreigners and their families can settle into a new country. Australia, Thailand and Malaysia rounded out the top five. Foreign workers in these countries found it easy to make local friends and said they enjoyed a higher quality of life than in their native countries.

Making local friends not a specialty, it would seem.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

Russia should be last, or close to it. Russians hate everyone, including Russians.

Im surprised there aren't more European countries up there.
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

It's because of the damn Muslims and their stupid Minarets.

Where's Belgium ?
I'm a friendly guy, I'd be delighted to help tourists ^^ and I'm sure more people would.

Unless you go to Brussels...

Brussels' a bad place

The rest is cool ^^

Why? They're not exactly the friendliest of places, sadly.

I'm surprised that Malaysia is high up that list. I've always thought they have some pretty restrictive religious laws. It's nowhere near the same as most Middle East countries' laws but I thought it was restrictive all the same. I'm guessing the U.S. is there because they did not include how easy it is to get a visa or enter the country. Having lived here for almost a decade now, I think the rankings they showed are just about right.
