Dreams keep me alive and well.

I hope you understand.

I bet you get a lot of wetdreams Just joking

Seriously though, I also dream of the VietNam bullet train connecting Hanoi and Saigon and maybe with Laos and Cambodia as well.

Brother Happy Asian

You have a very beautiful dream and vision. I like that a lots.

We will live long and well so we can see these dreams become a reality. No doubt, my brother.




Last year in December, I had the opportunity to ride the Hong Kong Airport Express.


Although the one-way ticket costs $190 Hong Kong dollars (almost $30 US Dollars), it felt like HEAVEN.

If VietNam is going to have a bullet train I hope it would be the fastest in the world. I want it to be faster and more efficient than the ones in Japan and France

Which is more likely to happen?

Vietnam beats Japan and France in the World Cup Soccer

or

Vietnam has faster train than Japan and France.

cool, i can explore my Fatherland more easily!

Both are very likely, it depends on how much VietNam is willing to invest.

Socal, you are supposed to show me how to get rich remember. Why are you bothering with these commies for?

In the future, we will be able to take the bullet train in Vietnam, have breakfast in Hanoi, lunch in Danang, and dinner in Saigon in one day.

That sounds good.

Vietnam Railways are planning a 1,630-km (1,010 miles) high-speed link from its capital Hanoi in the north, and second city Ho Chi Minh City in the south, capable of running at 300 to 250 km/hr. The funding of the $33 billion line will mostly come from the Vietnamese government, with the help of Japanese aid.[4] The current single track line has journey times of up to forty hours, and initially (2013) this would be cut to less than nine hours. The Vietnamese prime minister has set a target of completing the line by 2013, just six years, sooner than the previously annonced nine year construction time.[5] These new rail lines will be the standard gauge of 1.435 m (the existing line is a narrow gauge of 1.000 m) which matches the gauge of China to the north[6]

French also broke a new speed record. The French are also investing heavily in Vietnam:


BEZANNES, France, April 3 — A French high-speed train broke the world speed record on rail on Tuesday, reaching 357 miles an hour (574.8 kilometers) in a much publicized test in eastern France, exceeding expectations that it would hit 150 meters a second, or 540 kilometers an hour.

The train, code-named V150, is a research prototype meant to demonstrate the superiority both of the TGV high-speed train and of its probable successor, the AGV, which is also manufactured by the French engineering group Alstom. The performance on Tuesday came close to but did not break the world speed record for any train, set by an electromagnetic train in 2003.

The French railroad company SNCF and Alstom publicized the event as a test of “French excellence,” building on national pride for the 25-year-old bullet train.

Thank you for the information.

1 train can keeps 2000 cars off the road. Thats what Viet Nam needs.

Fact that Vietnam is long and thin makes for ideal rail state.

We still need HCM Highway for our future generation to race ... hihi

Homeland is the land where you see as home.

Motherland is commonly used by vietnamese (mostly outside vietnam) with western influenced.

Fatherland is commonly used throughout vietnam history and it is still being used.
