Today, I saw it. The speeding bullet.

I've taken the Shinkansen tons of times. It's taken me from Tokyo to the northern tip of Kyushu in less than one sleep cycle. But you don't feel the speed much on the train. And especially not when it pulls up lazily at the platform.

Today, the mighty Shinkansen all but blew my hair off the top of my head. Totally get why they call it the bullet train.
