High Speed Trains

Have you ever wondered if you could fly without ever leaving the ground? Well, you can. Some of the fastest trains in the world fly at (or almost at) the speed of an   aeropane. Zoom across Germany on the ICE or travel on the high-tech TGV from Paris to the French Riviera on these faster-than-a-bullet trains. From the original bullet train of Japan to the latest Chinese rail system, which is faster and more advanced than any other, it is an experience to travel at speeds of 200kmph and not spill a drop of water. Feel the thrill!
