The English have exceeded the Dutch in terms of population density. A recent count shows England currently has 395 people per square kilometre, while Holland had 393 in 2005 (but 395 in 2002?). The prognosis is that the English population density will rise to 464 people per square kilometre by 2031. The population density in England is already almost double the level in Germany and quadruple that in France.

Interesting conclusion though, as looking at this list (I know, it’s Wikipedia so it should be taken with a grain of salt) Monaco, Vatican City, Malta and San Marino are ahead of us with respectively 16754, 1866, 1272 and 461 people per square kilometre. But if you would take these countries / sovereign states seriously you would not be able to write a nice new article, right?

Well at least we’re not such a crowded country after all!

This morning I did some more celebrity tourism as I went to see Stephen King’s house on 47 W Broadway in Bangor. Lonely Planet said it was on Broadway, which is a totally different street, so it took me some time to find it Add the location to your TomTom:

And the house of a best seller horror novelist isn’t complete without a spiderweb gate with bats on top

Quite a big house, I wonder where his study is… I guess the house holds a large library:
