China's New Fast Trains
I tried out one of China's new highspeed trains today. The usual two-hour trip to Hangzhou was cut almost in half - 1 hour and 10 minutes. Although the new trains are fast, and look a bit like Japan's famous Shinkansen, or "bullet train", it's still half as fast as Japan's version. But I'm not complaining - the ride was smooth, the seats comfortable, and the price was right - less than US$10 for a 100 mile trip.
