Just got back from a series of meetings in China with GM and Shanghai Automotive. The key executives I met with all used to work for me in Pontiac at the Truck Product center. Its a small world. The meetings were in Shanghai which is a city of 19 million people. Right through the center of the city is the Hangpu River which is a super highway of riverboat traffic. To get to Shanghai from the PuDong airport I like to take the Mag Lev Train. At the time I was riding the speed was limited to 300 kilometers per hour (about 180 mph) but it also runs at 430 kph (about 260 mph) during certain times of the day. This train is magnetically suspended and propelled and thus it is very smooth and quiet. It is an amazing city!
That sounds really cool. It is hard to imagine going that fast in a train. It must be a blurr to look outside. I enjoyed your pictures and your post Paul; it's nice to see another part of the world. That must have been nice to see your old friends there too.
