CHINESE MAGLEV

It's been a while since I last took the Shanghai Maglev. This is a model...

上海のマグレブに乗るのは久しぶり。こちらは模型で・・・

...and here is an actual train.

こっちが本物。

VIP (First) Class is behind a cheap-looking curtain.

This evening's top speed is shown in this photo—ｍuch slower than the top operational commercial speed, which is 431km/h. And the train you took from the airport still brings you to the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of the city.

これが今宵のトップスピード。営業最高速度の時速431キロよりかなり遅い。で、空港から乗るといまだに街外れの辺鄙な場所に連れていかれる。
