A somewhat unusual Japanese colonial era residence constructed in a shophouse style in a small village in rural Pingtung. During World War 2 the Japanese authorities stripped part of the structure for metal parts. It has long been left to the elements.

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.
