Check out this guerrilla Google Street View of protesters occupying Taiwan’s parliament

For about three weeks now, Taiwanese students have been camping inside the premises of the island’s Legislative Yuan (think congress or parliament) in protest against a trade agreement with China that was allegedly passed without due procedure.
While scouring the internet for reporting on the Sunflower Movement ought to bring up a number images documenting the incidents (including an ongoing livestream), last night, photographer Nung Yao-lin uploaded a photo sphere of the occupation onto Google Street View – and it’s way cool.
