昨天由於要去彰化開會的關係,客戶幫我們訂了高鐵從台北到台中的票。算算距離上次在台灣搭火車至少也有六年了吧。進入高鐵月台,我興奮地東張西望,在台灣坐火車居然也有travel的心情。

高鐵車站裡的廁所都是用玻璃門,裡面也都很乾淨,車廂裡的座椅前後之間的距離也很寬敞,不像一般飛機經濟艙的座椅小的不得了,只要前面一個人把座椅倒下就會讓後面的人坐得很不舒服。此外,雖然車廂內還沒開始賣便當,不過已有可愛的年輕美眉親切地兜售零食飲料,而且美眉的外表和服務水準比空姐還讚喔!不知道高鐵是否比照錄取空姐的標準來錄取高鐵車廂服務人員。

到了台中車站後,我們都非常驚訝台中車站看起來相當國際化,它的建築真的可以比擬小型現代的國際機場。來接我們的人說,雖然台中的薪水是台北的一半,但是因為台中沒有地方可以花,所以倒也存了不少錢。也許下次換工作可以考慮看看台中吧!

對於坐高鐵的感想:速度實在太快了!感覺好像只是跟同事聊了一下天,眼睛還來不及瞇一下,不到一小時我們坐的直達車就已經從台中抵達台北。科技真的使人方便。


Since we had a meeting in Chang Hwa yesterday, our client bought us two Taiwan High-Speed Rail tickets from Taipei to Taichung. It has been at least 6 years since last time I took a train in Taiwan, so I was excitedly looking around at the High Speed Rail Taipei station as if I was travelling again.

The toilet there was made of glass windows and is very clean. Unlike the economic class of the airplane, there is a lot of space between seats. Even if the person in the front lies down, the person sitting in the back will still have enough space to stretch legs. Besides, the working staff on the train is cute and nice, much better than the stewardess.

We were all amazed that Thaichung train station is very modern and looks like a small international airport. The person who picked us up at the train station told us that even if the salary in Taichung is about half of that in Taipei, he still prefers to live in Taichung, for there is no place for him to spend money so he can save more, and the quality of life is better. Maybe I should consider to move there for jobs.

The speed of the train is so fast that it took us less than an hour to travel from Taichung to Taipei. I even didn't have time to take a nap! Technologies really make it more convenience.
