Two mailboxes in Taipei have become tourist attractions after a shop sign fell on them during Typhoon Soudelor, with visitors saying they now resemble two people standing next to each other and leaning.

The mailboxes — one red and the other green — are on Longjiang Road in Taipei.

The photos of the two tilted mailboxes quickly went viral, drawing dozens of people to the site yesterday.

Many visitors also leaned to the side and posed for photographs next to the mailboxes. Some netizens suggested that the Chunghwa Post Co keep the two mailboxes as they are, as a reminder of the damage wrought by the typhoon.
