In fact, it’s the least stressful Asian city, according to a study carried out by European on-demand laundry and dry cleaning service Zipjet. No, really.

In fact, the country’s ranked way below the top tier, sitting pretty at number 109 out of the 150 cities in the ranking. According to Zipjet’s study, the title for the most stressful city in the world goes to Baghdad, in Iraq. Because, you know, ISIS.
