Taiwan's popular spot is pretty if postbox posted by typhoon is cute



Two posts that looked like they had their heads tilted. Taiwanese people were interested in this iron-free mass. From the reputation of pretty, to popular spots in Taipei. In order to ascertain the truth of such news, I actually visited the site.

Hello, I was enjoying TaiwanTakuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. I visited in December 2015 after 4 months from typhoon, but still the post was bent. To its figure with charm, I crank cheeks unintentionally.

◆ Ordinary mailbox
There is a set of two red and green posts in the street.


Also on the premises of the railway station.


There was a post at the airport where red and green became one.


◆ Worried place
The targeted post is a Google map here.



The address is "Taipei City Nakayama Zen Yongji Road No. 104". When it is MRT (subway), "Nanjing Reconstruction Station" is the nearest station. There is a post in front of the Seven - Eleven Ryukyu store.

Signboard of Seven - Eleven and label 104.


With this kind of feeling, there are two posts in front of Seven - Eleven.


A post that was installed at the end of the sidewalk.


◆ Crooked post
A bent post in Taiwan hits a signboard with a popular typhoon - Sankei news
http://www.sankei.com/world/news/150810/wor1508100035-n1.html

A mailing post in Taipei City where the signboard hit by the strong wind of Typhoon No. 13 struck and bent directly became very popular as "cute".

It is the beginning of typhoon 13 attacking Taiwan.

I am tilting my head at an exquisite angle. Because it became news even in Japan, some people remember.


When I saw the road from the sidewalk, it was a little ahead of me and the atmosphere was a bit different.


I will change the angle and see.


Post that is still bent.


Looking at the bottom of the post, a thick iron plate was waving. The strength of the shock that the signboard hit is transmitted.


It seemed that a strong force was also applied to the foundation of the ground and it was bent.


Is "Zhongshan District Yuan District No. 104" the post identification number?


The red post is written as "Air Mail (AIRMAIL)" "PROMPT DELIVERY", meaning "air mail" and "express delivery".


The green post is written as "Other areas (OUTGOING)" "Taipei City (LOCAL)", meaning "outside city" and "city" of domestic ordinary mail.


Because there are four divisions, the post stands in pairs of two.

I took a picture
Although some people take pictures, the boom already seems to have gone past, and there was sometimes no one around the post. Ask someone who came to see the post and ask them to take a picture.

I tried for the time being.


Lean back.


Try tilting your head together.


As a Japanese boy who grew up watching Dragon Ball, I absolutely wanted to do a "Kamehame Wave" pose.


Processing imageThen, I am satisfied that it is something like that.


Of course, it functions as an ordinary post. The locals who came, with a relaxed expression, posted posts. When taking pictures, be careful not to get in the way.

◆ Taiwanese people
In Taiwan, it seems that this bent post is called "distorted poster cylinder" or "smile post cylinder", and when I search on Twitter the following response was seen.









◆ People in Japan too
There seems to be quite a lot of Japanese visitors.





There was a post where I could get a little smile in the streets of Taipei.
