why you called that a new invention? b: the difference? ok, let me say in this way, the highest speed of shikansen in japan, its 320 km per hour, that is kinda of record around the world. but for chinese gaotie, we got 450 km per hour. a: that is impossible!b: yes , technology, ha?a: woo, that s, thats to say, to travel from windhoek to rundu, it only takes me, eh...b: well, take your time, do your math.a: only takes less than 2 hours!b: and only cost you hundreds of dollars, faster, and cheaper. a: ohho, b, then, while a foreign student studying in china, he can just spend a couple of hours to travel thousands of far?
