Completed in 1937, this office building provided the primary means of communication between the Taiwan Governor’s Office and Japan. It was retained after the war, renovated to add another floor, and still operates as the Chunghwa Telecom Bo’ai Service Center (中華電信博愛服務中心).

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.
