KTX

The KTX high speed train is a thing of beauty. It flies across the peninsula, taking me from Daejeon to Seoul in only 51 minutes, and for only 23.000 won. Best of all, it's clean and smooth. You can't tell how much you are zipping along. There might be a slight shake, and there is a bit of a hum. Certainly nothing to give away that you are traveling at 305 km per hour! (190 mph)

Except for every so often, another train passes going the other way, and there is a shriek and a shake. That's pretty intense.
