Bullet train is an odd experience: it's SO smooth, I didn't have any real sense at all how fast we were moving.

Oh, and it's awfully expensive.

I did find the rail system in Japan an engineering marvel. Coordinating trains leaving every few minutes, at speeds up to 200+ mph, is an amazing achievement.
