Bullet train

Riding on the bullet train in japan was no joke for us. It's not just any train. It's a high speed passenger train which travels up to 500km per hour, making it only an hour to reach kyoto from tokyo. The shinkansen has acquired it's enviable record for safety and punctuality. Smoothness is also 1 important factor. I heard from tong that the bullet train actually runs without wheels but on magnets. North magnet as the 'wheels' and similar to the rail causing it to repel, thus giving the passengers a floating sensation. The front duck's mouth look alike causes it to move. The design isn't very pleasing but i'm sure they are coming up with even nicer and faster ones right now, this very second. You know... japs. They can never lose out. One thing for sure, singapore's very own mrt looks unsightly. Just a more nicer way of saying that it's ugly actually. It moves so slowly even cars go faster. In japan, it's the opposite which i think makes more sense. It goes so fast, i'm lucky to catch it with my camera. Bullet train, my number 1 choice!
