Taiwan vs. Vancouver Island
Thought it would be interesting to compare the two islands (I know I'm a wild and crazy guy...).
Summary
Taiwan is larger in terms of area (measured in square kilometers), but Vancouver Island has a larger coastline.
The population of Taiwan is 33 times that of Vancouver Island and has a population density approx. 29 times greater. A way to put the population density number into perspective: when I'm back on Vancouver Island and every time I see a person, think well actually in Taiwan it would be 29. So if there are 10 people in a lineup, don't complain because in Taiwan it would be 290.
Facts below.
Vancouver Island
Population: 700,000 (est. 2005)
Area: 31,284 square kilometers (sq km)

Lenght of coastline: 3,440 km

Area: 35,980 sq km

Length of coastline: 1,566.3 km

really interesting stuff... i've been to Victoria, BC, but never to taiwan.
still although i've been to Victoria, i feel like i haven't seen all what Vancouver Island has to offer.
i'm eager to go back and see the other sides of Van Isl.
forgot to ask- which do u like more? :)
just about to give an example English sentence for students about Taiwan and Vancouver Island...thx for the information. I live in Taiwan and been to Canada many times, now the feeling of crowds can be different, if compared with India? 1=29=?? ha! Cheers
