I have arrived in Beijing safe and sound and am currently sitting in my hotel room at the Beijing Penta Hotel. I went via high spead train which is an experance I can wholely recomend. It is really interesting to go from rural countryside to a development of what seems like 50 identical highrise buildings so quickly. If you are taking the train, don't do what I did and buy food on the train. China Rail's food is both expensive and bad.

That was fast. It is a 750 mile trip. I guess the high speed train is just that. You have now been on high speed trains in 3 countries, none of them the US.

Yup, before the high speed train I think it took like 22 hours to get to Beijing from Shanghai. Yup, China's trains are not as good as Spain's. There was very little security, an x-ray for your bag and a metal detector for you. I can agree with that.
