If you could be reborn into a different era/country what would it be?

If you could be reborn into and experience any generation or cultural experience from the past? 40's/50's/60's etc? For me I'll say I would love to be reborn into an aristocratic family and experience what life was like in a dreamy period drama like Downton Abbey. Notions I know,but shur look.

Nowhere, at no time, has life ever been easier or more comfortable than right here and now.

I'd love to be able to visit certain places in the past, but only for a day or two at most. I wouldn't be able to cope with the hunger, fear, disease, boredom, cruelty, lack of hygiene, lack of medicine and hard, physical work that 99.9% of the population in the past had to endure.

Until fairly recently, even the rich and powerful had to put up with conditions most of us would not cope with.
