Established in 1982, this military dependents’ village was built to house families of soldiers who perished in the line of duty or from illness. It is nicknamed the “widow village”. Around 2012 half of the old community was demolished and turned into a parking lot, likely as a result of a declining population.

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.
