I have turned into a bit of a lone wolf myself - always in quest for peace and quiet. I live in a country of about 80 million people - crammed into the size of, say, Oregon. My financial situation does not allow me to live in a good neighborhood, so I am stuck with neighbors who take pride in making life hell for my wife and me. But I am alive. In my healthy days I have traveled a lot, most of it on business. I have been to Canada, the US, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Japan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa, Russia and, of course, all over Europe. I have trave traveled by train in nearly all of those countries. I took the Shinkansen in Japan, the AVE in Spain, the TGV in France, the ICE in Germany and the highspeed train from Shanghai to Wuxi and to Beijing in China. The latter one was most impressive - not by the speed it went, but the speed of setting up a vast highspeed train network! Just take a look at this <a href="http://www.seat61.com/beijing-to-shanghai-by-train.htm#.Vx2uA3rKdf4" target="_blank">page!</a> 824 miles in a little under 5 hrs - downtown to downtown! I took both the train and a flight on that relation. While the actual time in the air was about 2 hrs., the cab ride from the airport to the Tiananmen Square in Beijing ate up the balance of the saved time! <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xvytUaRs2dU" width="425" height="350"></iframe>
