How fast are those Japanese bullet trains? I have heard that they can develop some incredible speeds and since I’m traveling to Japan on a business trip, it seems that I will have to take a ride in one of them. I can’t say I’m very comfortable about that, Do I have any reason to worry? I get sick and suffer from nausea even when I’m travelling by car.

I think that you worry too much since millions of people travel by so-called bullet trains. It is something completely usual in Japan. I know that maybe the idea of a highs speed can be frightening, but just bear in mind that Japan has a very advanced technology and that everything has the state-of-the-art standards before that technology has been put in the applied use. This means that everything is being very carefully examined and tested, so those bullet trains despite the fact they develop the speed of more than 300kmph are actually very safe. I think that those trains are even safer from regular trains in certain countries. In Japan everything is punctual and clockwork and you really don’t have to worry about that.
