New US ambassador to Ireland

The new US ambassador to Ireland has claimed that he is the luckiest man in the United States and express how he nearly cried as the national anthem was played at the presidents residence in dublin and it got me thinking about how nice it would be to be the ambassador for your country? Surely of all the jobs this must be one with the greatest amount of perks. You can roll dice with the upper class of society, bask in the glow of being invited to anything you would like to attend all while having a nice residence in this case in one of the most exclusive areas of dublin. Where would you like to be an ambassador if you could pick anywhere in the world and what benefits do you think it would have?
