Aruba population

With all this talk about Aruba, it got me curious what the population is there so I looked it up today. In 2008 it was estimated at approximately 105,000. That is one small community.

That IS a small community. I can't wait to see it for myself. It sounds like a lot of people must know and recognize each other since the population isn't that high. Must make for a friendly place

That's great. So it is not impossible to arrange a gathering attended by all local people in the island. I would love to live in such a community. But, being one of the most popular tourist destinations, I believe the actual number of people in the island in most time is many more than 105,000.

Gee that's a lot of people on an island. Is it really crowded? I really don't like a lot of crowds. I know it's going to be somewhat crowded but I didn't think about that many people being there.
