Tombstone of a Siraya man who, according to legend, was invited to the emperor’s court in Beijing to demonstrate his sprinting ability. The tombstone has been partly submerged in dirt and might only be visible when the crops have been harvested but an explantory plaque has been erected by the roadside.

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.
