In light of our upcoming trip to SE Asia our featured country is China. A train is a major source of transportation there. They also like to get places quickly in China. From the airport to the city can be a long distance and take much time with lots of traffic. But not any more... thanks to magnetic levitation you can board the train at the airport and arrive in the middle of the city 32 kilometers away in 8 minutes. This train travels at 500kph! Even though the German's invented it, China was the first to use it. Maybe one day I'll experience for myself!
