The Maglev from Pudong Airport to Longyang Road shifts along at a heart farting 431 km/h,270mph. That’s a mile every 13 seconds.

430 km/h = Me crapping my pants.

And then there’s the Bund, and the tunnel. What is it with the tunnel? I’m sure it cost a lot of Yuan to build, and there seems to be good return on investment, but I’m not exactly sure why.
