Typhoon-tilted mailboxes tempt tourists

Two mailboxes in Taipei have unexpectedly become a hit with tourists and locals after a falling signboard knocked down by Typhoon Soudelor bent them into unusual shapes over the weekend.

Visitors have flocked downtown to take pictures of the boxes - one red and the other green - which they said resemble two people standing shoulder to shoulder while leaning in the same direction.

Photos of the two boxes immediately went viral on the Internet, attracting hundreds of people to the site.
