And then the one we got off at Chengdu and the length of that train ride and how we, the buildings never seemed to stop along the way.
And the hall of the train station is like the biggest thing you've ever seen with like an almost like,
indescribable distance of trains and platforms at each one we started and stopped at.
It all feels a little surreal in how big it is.
Like this, and it doesn't really exist like this anywhere else.
Like there's other countries in the world that have really good infrastructure and public transportation, but it doesn't exist at this scale, right?
Like Switzerland's nailed it, but it's tiny and it doesn't look like this.
I think it gives me hope in a weird way.
I think seeing it be done in this way with this many people makes me...
It's a model in a way that we can do it too.
Like the size factor, whenever you make a point about like infrastructure or things in the US and people argue like we have too many people, our country's too big, things are too spread out or whatever.
I think this demonstrates that like, dude, it's possible.
I think people argue... A lot of times when you argue with people about public transportation in the US or infrastructure in the US, they will tell you that a lot of the things you would want are not possible because of things like the amount of people we have.
Or like politically it's impossible or logistically it's impossible.
I mean, I think if you looked at something like the high speed rail network here and thought about, uh, people will be like, Oh, the country is just too big to build something like this.
It's like we, so, and that is, it's a justification from Los Angeles to beggars field, but we went to the train.
The train that we went on last night was basically the equivalent of us going from LA to Dallas overnight.
That's what we did.
