In the age of sophisticated high technology, when one can reach, see, talk to another in the furthest corner of the world instantly in real time, the primitive messages sent by a note stuffed in a bottle and thrown into the sea to let it take it's own course and at it's own pace, with the hope that one day, any day if ever, it would reach someone somewhere, is almost laughable and naive, don't you think?
Ah, but some one did just that. Not some one, but a group of Japanese young school kids. Their group photo was inside a bottle, which had been dated and launched in the city beach of Kagishima, in Japan. 5 years later, it reached Florida, self navigating through the Pacific and Atlantic ocean. It arrived at the beach of Barking Sands of Florida, where a worker was cleaning the beach.
Much slower, but far more exciting than receiving an email!
