Latest travel random facts

Shopping It is cheaper to buy prescription glasses in Kuala-Lumpur. They are good value and you can pick them up next time you fly to Hong Kong.

Weather The weather on the Sunshine Coast (Australia) in March is rainy. June or July is when you should be going. March is the hottest time of the year. August (Australian winter) is great, hot enough to go swimming, but not too uncomfortable. There is little rain; you may have blue skies all along in August.

Looking for a comfortable and reasonably priced hotel / B&B in Barcelona? - Have a look at apartments around the Raval end of La Rambla; it is a lot cheaper than the other end of town and much more interesting. If you travel to Granada, try to set aside half a day (at least) for the Alhambra Palace and gardens.

What are good New York Tours? - Try a two day ticket on the double decker bus, which may also include a ferry ticket. It takes you around all the places of interest, and after doing a full loop the first time, you can take it around again to get off at places like Macys, Ground Zero, Empire State, etc. You can jump on and off. At first, stay on and go around the whole tour; then use it like a taxi.

What places of interest are a must to see in Cape Town? - Go up Table Mountain first to orient yourselves. Do the hop on and off bus for major attractions. The African Penguin colony at Boulders Beach is amazing. Also, visit the Cango Caves.

Where in Fiji should you get married? - Getting married in Fiji will be the best decision you ever make. So stress free! First decide whether or not you want an island wedding or a mainland wedding. If you are after that picture postcard look, then go for an island. Have your guests stay at Plantation island resort, and maybe you do so yourself leading to the wedding. Then adjourn to Lomani resort once married. The two resorts are literally side by side.

Social Factors

Large family

Social factors also exercise their influence on population growth and distribution. Large-sized families were and are still considered a measure of security in certain area of the world. There is a feeling in some people that there should be male children to look after them in old age. The joint Hindu family system and the desire for at least one male child in the family are important social factors affecting population growth in our country. However taxation system and desire on the part of individuals to have a better standard of living as also literacy have reduced the effect of social factors to a considerable extent. People have, due to better knowledge, taken recourse to family planning. Absolute numbers do not give any indication of the impact of population on the land and its resources. The number of persons living per unit of land area gives a better picture. This is expressed in the form of density of population per sq. km. of land area.

The ratio of people to units of land area is generally known as 'Density of Population'. 'Density of Population' or 'Population Density' establishes quantitative relationship between number of people and number of units of land area. It is obtained by dividing the total land area by the total population, the quotient being the number of people per square kilometer. By applying the density concept to population numbers, one gains a better idea of the extent of concentration.

The average density of population for the world as a whole is about 36 persons per sq. km. (1985) assuming that the entire population is spread uniformly over the land area. The actual density of population varies from region to region depending on environment conditions. While there are large areas of relatively low density of population, areas of high density are small and scattered. Such unevenness in the distribution of population is seen not only in the world as a whole but also in each country or region. Such variations in density are due to difference in human response to the environment.
