    Another densely populated, small island that comes to mind is Migingo Island in Lake Victoria. According to demographics, 131 people lived there in 2009...on an island that's only *.002 squared kilometers* which makes it have a density of 65,500 per squared kilometer. Migingo has been in the middle of a dispute between Kenya and Uganda, where control of it has gone back and forth between each other. While Uganda has admitted the island is on the Kenyan side of Lake Victoria, they don't want Migingo fishermen to illegally fish in Ugandan waters, as they view the Nile perch who live in the lake as economically important.

    Ah yes, my favorite football player...Slovak Charles Leclerc. When everyone you know is 2 mins away, you have no choice but to love one another. What a gift. There's an island off the coast of southern Haiti that's even MORE dense, called Ilet a Brouee. There, 500 people live on an island that's only .4 hectares/.004 squared kilometers. If you do the math, the density is 125 THOUSAND per squared kilometer! Insane, but respect to the people who live on these islands for striving to make it places to be, showing that anything is possible as long as you believe.

Because of the peculiarity of this place (it didn't belong to neither UK, nor China) it was a lawless place with high criminality (a place ruled by the Triads)!

I was there during a mild storm and people stay, they just go to sleep on the second floor of their homes or neighbors, the island get flooded maybe to shin level and they are used to that. They use had residues to keep growing the island, they fill with conch, crab skeletons trash and sand, they do this little by little to expand, you can see that in 1:09 (lower left).

    Based on what I could see in this video, your haircut looked 👌 this guy had one blade and probably not too much experience with European hair like yours. Which seems probably fine for everyone, but from a hairstylist perspective it is mind-blowing impressive!

      Why would you wanna visit it though, it's just an island favela. I was there a few years ago because the boat company that took us to this other famous island close by tricked us into visiting this one on the way back (stopping the boat there and charging people an entrance fee). They have this open aquarium thingy which is just sad, all the cramped animals in small pools..
