Fast enough?

One of the things I did on my unexpected stopover in Shanghai recently was go for a train ride.  How would you like it if this were the normal speed for trains?

This is on the Maglev train which runs from Shanghai airport to the city – it covers 30km in 8 minutes.  You see cars on the roads that run alongside it and they look to be standing still – when they’re probably actually doing 80-100 km/h

    1. Wow.. thats seriously fast going! I would love to experience that speed. Might take a trip to China just for that! :)

    2. Faster than the Shinkansen, morningcafe. They do about 300 km/h – as does the KTX in Korea, which I travelled on a few months back.
