I feel bad for the commenters that feel they need to step on it, just because it's a bit heavy on the "noble savage" meme here and there.
A culture very different from ours is always like a mirror. And it's much more virtuous to describe the difference in terms of what is good, than how we are better. That doesn't mean you'd immediately want to switch places with them.
"If you like X so much, why don't you go live there?" is the reaction of a small-minded person that feels threatened just because something very different and alien to them is described as "also very beautiful".
I even see this reaction happening between two different Western cultures.
And yes, "we" also got quite a few really good things compared to them. More than just feathered arrows, even :-)
