Hello Steem Blockchain!

China's high speed rail is light years ahead of anything back in Canada. This complex network of high speed trains works almost flawlessly and it is really affordable. Every time I have taken the train, it was the 2nd class seat. Second class is good enough for me but when I took a trip from Beijing to Tianjin, there were no 2nd class seats available. The train would only take about 40 minutes to reach my destination and there was ONE business class seat available.

I thought to myself, hell yeah! Let's do it!

Normally, the price for a 2nd class ticket would be 51 RMB ($8.02) but the business class seat was 174 RMB ($27.38). I didn't mind paying that price because this was a good opportunity to make a video about the business class seat and hopefully earn that money back from Steemit & DTube!

There was a lot of leg room but they didn't have overhead storage like they have in 2nd and 1st class. You could store your baggage at the back of the car so that was OK, but I would rather have my baggage stored somewhere I can immediately see.

The seat was super comfortable. Check out the video if you haven't seen it already. You could recline the seat back and kick your feet up. There was also a power outlet so I could charge my phone and camera!

China has at least 2 versions of high speed trains: the D-train and G-train. The 2nd class seat on the D-train does NOT have a power outlet, which can be inconvenient because your phone is likely to lose a lot of battery power on long distance trips.

They also provided snacks and drinks included with the ticket price! I got a peach drink and a box of various snacks to munch on.

Check out the video for all that cool stuff! I should have taken more photos!
