      I looked it up and I think we dropped to 9th this year, 8th last, but then Japan dropped by 4 putting Singapore in the top slot all by itself. I was chatting with a Senegalese poster on reddit a while back and the hoops he would have to jump through to enter the EU as a tourist are crazy, and it takes months to accomplish. I get the reasons for visas, but three’s a part of me that is baffled at how humans drew imaginary lines on dirt and then spend a non-trivial fraction of our waking time making sure people don’t go on the wrong side of them.

          Yeah, it’s kind of a pissing contest in the top ten. I saw another list with us one below Canada and I assumed it was probably our (now useless, decades long) tiff with Cuba that put them ahead. Several of the places on my bucket list are on the difficult list for USA, but I also don’t really feel safe enough to travel there, nor do I expect them to become (politically) friendly in my traveling lifetime. It’s okay, though - I probably don’t have enough money to see everywhere I’d like to go anyway.

      Nice, my country is on the 5th place/rank/whatever. I expected top 20 or maybe top 10, but top 5 is definitely great.
