High Speed Rail - Part 2
Nita deliver her High Speed Rail Part 2 promise to YPOer yesterday, althought I had a nightmare with Fruit on Friday night, I knew that to bring Sound with me for the day will leave better room for the teacher to handle her case with her mother at home.Woke up 7, wake Sound up by 7:30 am, we walked to a tranditional breakfast restuarnt and having our nice breakfast - soy bean milk ; meat bum and egg cake. a taxi drove us to Bainchio rail station, this is where HSR begin its operation.
Bainchio railstation is huge, a 3 rail-conjuction - MRT / TR / THSR , quite a convience transportaion stop and a new city hub in greater Taipei area.
the train depart at 9:25 on time, I check the LEC board in front of you, it show the speed of the train sometimes, we did hit 298 km / hour. the train is smooth and comfortable. we stop at Tauyoun, chinchu and arrive at Taichun by 10:23.
Nita did a very brief speech to us and have 2 station manger show us the Taichun station. the station tour is amazing, a high-class station with state of the art equipment and facility. although in the first year of operation, it will face some challenge such as : the connecting transportion to the city, extend service from Bainchio to Taipei. but relatively speaking, this is a fun and educational journey.
Stanly take up the second funciton of the journey, entertian us to the brand new hotle he operated in Taichung - Hotle One, a hotel beyon hotel - according to Stanly's introuction - a very customer driving design and caring. we had lunch at the top floor of the hotel - 46 floor. with the combination of India / Japanese / Western fusion food. I bite my touge again, then lost my appertise to the delicious food. -- Yes. Deli cious is the restaurat Mr. Han brought me last Friday, a French own restaurant provide excellent French crusine.
rest at the 29th floor lounge until 3 pm, we take up the option to visit National Nature and Science Musueme, today is the last day for the Chin Tomb Doll exhibition, it was too crowded, you can hardly catch up with the guide they specially arrange for us.
Leaving Taichung by 5:49 pm, non stop high speed train to Benchiao -- 6:30 pm, only 41 minutes to Taipei. this is the end of a perfect trial .
the only regret is not getting time to chat with the VP of PR, without the mood and chance, I don't initative the business talk with Mr. Chia...
