A large aquarium in Ocean Expo Park on the north side of Okinawa, Japan, opened in 2002 as the successor to the earlier Ocean Expo Aquarium. The immense Kuroshio Sea tank holds 7.5 million litres behind what was then the world’s largest acrylic viewing panel, housing whale sharks and manta rays.

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.
