I’ve heard from a lot of expats who reluctantly have to be relocated to Europe that it could be difficult to adapt back to life in European cities again, some told me they got ‘’spoiled’ by the feeling of safety in Seoul, Tokyo Shanghai or like Hongkong, also the convenience such as accessibility to supermarkets, convenient stores etc. There could be more but that’s all I can recall.
So did you find it difficult or challenging once you go back to live in Europe, after experiencing Asian cities for several years, if not, i would be interested to know why as well.
I can’t take that ranking seriously, it has Ireland and Australia safer than Japan, and Italy, France and the UK safer than South Korea. It’s just a survey of random people’s feelings - apparently people who don’t know the countries in question
For example here’s another survey showing a massive difference: https://www.numbeo.com/crime/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+Kingdom&country2=South+Korea&city1=London&city2=Seoul&tracking=getDispatchComparison
And here’s a comparison of crime rate numbers showing most of your top twenty safest countries as less safe than most East Asian countries

This is all on average of course
