Leaning Mailboxes (歪腰郵筒) - Spectral Codex

Two postboxes on Longjiang Road (龍江路) in Zhongshan District that were bent by a falling sign during Typhoon Soudelor (蘇迪勒颱風) in 2015. Their “cute” appearance went viral on social media, drawing crowds of visitors and becoming an unlikely tourist attraction. Chunghwa Post (中華郵政) initially planned to relocate them but reversed course after public backlash.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
