1月28日(ichigatsu nijyuhachi nichi): January 28

I had a chance to visit one of the biggest newspaper companies in Tokyo this morning to have a meeting. There were many things I learned through talking with a person in charge and seeing the facilities.
One of the interesting things to find was the design of the doors of elevators. There were top pages of world newspapers. The other thing was that long time ago to transfer the data carrier pigeons were used. The journalists brought three carrier pigeons with them and wrote three different miscellaneous thoughts and let the pigeons bring them back to the company. If three of them returned, it is OK. But even if one or two of them did not return, from the rest they could write the article somehow.
I wondered if other countries also used the carrier pigeons long time ago or not.
