Know any foreigners who lived here in the 70s or earlier?

This web site is a tad eye-watering, but has a lot of interesting pictures of Taipei in the 70s while the Americans still had a spy base here. The town sure did look gritty back then. Anybody here live it, or encounter anyone who did?

Dunno anyone except some Belgian priests whom are here for 100 years.

But hey - thanks for the site. Never knew I lived near or on an old base.

My coworker has pics of him when he arrived in Kaohsiung more than 30 years ago. Oh boy.

Those in the website are nicer, they are in color.

Make sure you turn your volume down first too. Had the music up loud, me and my speakers got a bit of a shock Loud burst of static before the Stones 8-bit version

Nice find Slugger!

Cool site. Thanks. I've met several people who were in Taiwan around that time either for military service or as missionaries.

My mom is going to love this, thanks.

My grandfather was here doing military stuff; don't know any details.

Sorry 'bout that, I had no idea. One of the reasons my "NoScript" Firefox plugin is so handy.

Cool stuff. I didn't get to Taiwan until the mid-80s but I have an American friend who grew up in Taiwan in the 50s/60s who will enjoy seeing this.

Fascinating website - it's interesting to observe what's changed and what hasn't. I was struck by the empty streets of Taipei. Bet those guys wish they'd invested in a little real estate.
