Hundreds of thousands of one of a kind handmade yard art creations. Recycled cast aluminum statues, lamp posts, lights, patio furniture, suns and moons, specialty mailboxes, life size animals, clocks, fountains, gazebos and urns, all painted at premises. Hand made colorful mexican ceramics (Talavera) and more.
I think it's funny how some mailboxes resemble faces. And when you also consider that mailboxes are very personal in most cases and often carry some very personal thoughts the comparison works even more for me. ...Btw. I kept all the blemishes on the mailboxes on purpose, since human faces aren't perfect either, right!?
“Freedom! To fill people's mailboxes, eyes, ears and brains with commercial rubbish against their will, television programs that are impossible to watch with a sense of coherence. Freedom!”

While the Japanese are clearly the kings of vending machines, I'm frequently surprised by the automation of things in Taiwan. Of course a lot of the technology for this stuff comes from here anyway, but still...
So in this case, an automated postal and package machine. So, regular postal slots at the bottom (with the faces), and then the rest is all about delivery or sending of parcels.
For deliveries, you use the machine as the address, and then you'd get a notification with a QR code to open the appropriate door. To send a parcel, you front up with the box, provide some information, and receive a delivery label. Add it to the box, tell the machine how big a locker you need, and add the box. Oh, and pay, of course. :-)
