A great illustration of how China's high speed rail is making domestic flying obsolete (www.youtube.com)

Being able to travel across the country on a train would be pure joy.

Right? There was once a direct connection from Paris to Moscow. If I remember correct you could travel from Paris to Berlin, then Warsaw, Minsk and Moscow. From there you could travel to Tomks, Omsk, Wladiwostok or down to China till Beijing. How many cultures you can visit this way. I mean this alone would probably widen my horizon.

Sadly there is no direct connection to Pjongjang and then to Seol. In a better world, in communim, this would be doable!

At least it looks like China and Russia will have good rail connections going forward, so there's that.
