An old post office in central Nanzhuang, Miaoli. It was rebuilt after a previous structure was damaged beyond repair in the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake. Since it was declared a historic building it was neatly restored and reopened to the public as a tourist attraction.

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.
