So- what do Baja residents think? Are people in Baja happier than you might expect given the various challenges they face? And is Spanish a happier language vs. English?

"...The report, which is published annually by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, is not the first happiness study of the year. In February, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published one that concluded that the world’s happiest language is Spanish.

"The result was based on an analysis that identified the top 100,000 of the most frequently used words across 10 languages. Researchers then asked native speakers of the languages to rate whether the words were happy or sad on a scale of one to nine. Spanish speakers, it turned out, use the highest number of happy words in their everyday speech.

"Mexico, it would appear, is a very happy place."
