We got up at 4:30 am today to leave for our trip to China. We left Spokane at 7 am on Wednesday morning and got to China at 6:30 pm Thursday evening. We had a 3 hour flight to LA, 3 hour layover in LA, 14 hour flight to Shanghai and lost 15 hours. After going through customs and getting our luggage, we rode the high speed Maglev Train into the city. It went 300kph which is about 180mph. Then we had to take 2 more subways to get to our Air B&B. We all crashed. We were so tired after our long days of traveling.
Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a transport method that uses magnetic levitation to move vehicles without touching the ground. With maglev, a vehicle travels along a guideway using magnets to create both lift and propulsion, thereby reducing friction by a great extent and allowing very high speeds.
