The bullet train to the Shanghai Airport was really fun. Above is a photo of the train's "odometer." 430 kilometers an hour translates to 267 miles an hour. Fast! And it feels like you're going fast. It lasts for about 8 minutes. But it only costs the equivalent of 50 cents.
My Austrian Airlines flight from Shanghai to Vienna (11 1/2 hours) was another beautiful experience. I'm still trying to see all the movies nominated for a Golden Globe. Austrian Air currently shows two nominees (The Motorcycle Diaries and The Manchurian Candidate) on flights going in the opposite direction. But the purser agreed to show them on a special channel just for me. Now that's treatment I could get used to!
