This is another take on that one culture thing I wrote earlier:

From a Russian Magazine:

Heaven:
American Salary
Chinese Food
English House
Russian Wife

Hell:
Russian Salary
English Food
Chinese House
American Wife

Pretty good. Think the chinese food thing is somewhat questionable... to each his own, I guess...

.. of a Japanese saying:

The definition of heaven is having a British country home, a Chinese cook, an American salary and a Japanese wife, whereas the definition of Hell is having a teeny Japanese home, a British cook, a Chinese salary and an American wife.
