Keelung, Taiwan ¨C Visitors to Keelung, a mountainous port city on Taiwan¡¯s northern coast, might reasonably think that the white wall at the back of Shi Hui-hua¡¯s breakfast shop is, well, a wall. Only a few air vents suggest that there might be something on the other side.
¡°It¡¯s a bomb shelter,¡± said Shi, 53, as she waited for the morning rush. ¡°Because we¡¯re Keelung people, we know these kinds of places.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a space for life,¡± she added. ¡°And a space for death.¡±
