A small memorial to one of more than a dozen POW camps located in Taiwan in World War 2. Whereas most camps vanished without a trace, this one was turned into a military base that is still in use. The memorial is located around the side entrance to the base.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
