An unusual stone statue at the entrance to the hills in Waipu. It resembles a daruma (達磨) or tumbler toy, which will right itself after being knocked down. Its origins are shrouded in myth, but it might have been constructed as a symbol of Taiwanese resistance to Japanese colonial rule.

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.
