I remember reading about the Shinkansen bullet trains in Japan when I was a kid. I was crazy about them! On top of that my brother is here in Japan doing an exchange programme, as partt of his PhD on high speed trains. Here he works with some of the smartest people researching on this area, which I had the pleasure to meet.
Riding the Shinkansen was mandatory!

I went from Tokyo to Kyoto, then to Hiroshima and then back to Kyoto at 300 km/h. The Shinkansen network is gargantuan! Trains leave almost every 5 minutes to every direction in Japan, and the average delay is in the order of a few seconds only. And the coolest thing: the trains look like spaceships from a sci-fi movie!
