Philippines



For your information, we just realized that Manila is the most densely populated city in the world. Population is 21 ,951,000 with 18 ,567 people per square kilometer. Which we think is about the population of the Salt Lake Valley,compacted into the space from our old home to town. So we will definitely love the close quarters, can't even imagine that many people. But we will soon find out what it's like living in the big city.
