Photos with Sad Mailboxes Went Viral in Taiwan

Last weekend Taiwan Instagram caught a new virus – photographs of two mailboxes, damaged by the recent Typhoon Soudelor. The citizens thought they were funny, and according to Quartz, people are queuing to take a picture with them. After the mailboxes went viral they started having even more visitors.

Chunghwa Post co-chairman Philip Ong said, the two mailboxes would stay as they were, and that the post office plans to make them into a tourist attraction.

At the end of last week Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Soudelor that became one of the fiercest in the recent years. According to Associated Press, more than 100 people were hurt and more than 3 mln households lost electricity.
