中国出張2015年4月 Business trip to China in 2015 Apr

今日から今週土曜日まで中国出張です。
日曜日には剣道大会、来週はインドネシア出張と今月後半は大忙し。

今回の目玉は中国高鉄（新幹線）！
私は外国に来たら極力自力で公共の交通機関を使う様に心がけています。
まぁ、その方が気楽で楽しいしね。

さて、今回は人生初で乗りました。中国新幹線。
上海浦東空港から地下鉄で虹橋駅まで移動。
虹橋駅から新幹線よ～！

で、虹橋駅着いてビックリっ!!!!
チケット売り場メチャ混み。さすが中国！人が多ぃ～。
切符買うのに30分強並びましたわ。
外国人は券売機で切符買えないらしい。

これが売り場前の状態です。

From today, I’m business trip in China till Saturday this week.

On Sunday Kendo tournament and next week business trip to Indonesia, so my schedule at late Apr is quite busy.

This time’s most big event is Chinese bullet train.

I always try to use public transportation myself when I visit foreign country.
It is fun and very comfortable for me.

Anyway, this time is first experience in my life getting on Chinese bullet train.

I’ve moved from Shanghai Pudong airport to Shanghai Hongqiao station by subway and from Hangqiao station, I can get bullet train!

BUT!! I was surprised when reaching at the Hongqiao station.

The ticket counter is so crowded!
Yes, here is China! Lots of people are living!
I was on the line over 30minutes for buying train ticket.
Chinese can but foreigner cannot buy it at ticket bending machine.

This picture is appearance of ticket counter.

で、これが乗った新幹線と車内ですわ。
パッと見は日本のとほぼ同じに見えますが、シートとかはかなり擦り切れてました。
やっぱ中国だわ。

And this is bullet train I got on and inside of it.
You may think looks almost same as Japanese Shinkansen but the seat was shabby.
Yes, I understand this is China.
