Modesto, CA (USA) vs. Taipei, Taiwan

This is probably the most unlikely blog post / internet topic ever. Well, I live in Modesto, CA and I'm visiting Taipei, Taiwan. I thought it would be an interesting comparison.

Modesto, CA information resource

Modesto population (2000 census) 188,856 people
Modesto city area: 36 square miles
Modesto population density: 5200/square mile

Below info from Wikipedia.

Taipei population 2,619,920

Taipei city area: about 105 square miles (for comparison interest, Stanislaus County (where Modesto, CA lies, is 1,515 square miles)

Taipei population density 25000/sq mi

Taipei has the tallest building (Taipei 101) in the world at this point (2009). It has the worlds record for: Taipei 101 also set new records for ascending elevator speed.


So... this is the strangest comparison. Hopefully soon... to compare Plastic Surgery in Modesto and Taiwan.
