<p>[quote user="matthewsaggie"]</p> <p>Sam, your tu student probably heard 200 and assumed it was MPH, not KPH. (A mistake that any teasip could easily make.)</p> <p>I'm sorry that you seem intent in not trying the trains in Europe, based on your comment. Until you have tried the French, German, Swiss and even the Italian trains you have really missed something. [/quote]</p> <p>I have limited travel dollars; therefore, I can only visit so many places. Rather than sample numerous locations around the world and, therefore, knowing just a little bit about them, I have chosen to concentrate my attention on Australia, where I lived for nearly five years. I know it as well as Texas. I go to Australia every year. It is a long airplane ride and makes a serious dent in my travel budget. Moreover, I prefer Asia to Europe. </p> <p>My family stems from a mixed Jewish and Anabaptist culture. Both groups were persecuted in Germany and fled that country. I have no desire to visit Germany. I have, however, been to the UK four times. That is enough of Europe for me. </p> <p>My fellow UT student insisted that she rode on a train that was doing 200 mph, even after I raised the possibility that it was 200 kph.</p>
