Just don't show any ankle or you'll be beheaded by really friendly people! And South Africa- enjoy your new friends but don't buy any farmland or they'll rape and beat you to death.

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

I guess this is why everyone is flooding to Bahrain and South Africa to work, instead of here.
Headline is a bit misleading. The US is in the top 10 of friendliest countries.
Probably because we have not paid enough reparations or send more of our money overseas.
We tend to keep our money in the US with bailouts of our own companies and giveaways to the unions.
Dead last...please...the US is in the top 10.
LOL
The South takes issue with this and promises to work on their “hey y’all” (add crooked smile).
That's why we are building fences to keep people in the country.
Without them the United States would be nothing but desolation.
Just make sure they renounce their citizenship and never come back.
If we are so unfriendly, why on EARTH is everybody coming HERE?
Instead of going somewhere else?
South Africa? What about Sweden? Sweden’s rape statistics may be even higher than those of South Africa.

Saudi Arabia's got a foreign work force amounting to about 25 percent of its population for the same reason.
In the mid 90s there was an interesting set of forums for expats that I occasionally lurked at, the stories were fascinating.
Our government in the USA sometimes doesn’t make things easy.
For example, a friend of ours was to get her US citizenship. I thought that there was generally some ceremony involved: that’s what they have shown on TV and movies, anyway. So, my wife offered to go with our friend down to the Federal Courthouse to be with her for this important event. When they got there, they found that no family and no friends were to be let into the room where the citizenship oath was administered. Other than that, it was no more dignified than getting a driver’s license.
I would think that getting citizenship would be something like graduation, or marriage, or confirmation. These government officials have made it seem like nothing.
