Better than the Bullet Train (新幹線)

John Nanakamado

For many years I have considered the Bullet Train (新幹線)to be the best train in the world. But recently, I rode on another Japanese train that could be better. Take a look at my review in the video above. Practice your English listening by answering the questions below:

 

Which train do I usually ride from Nagoya to Kyoto?

Which train did I ride from Nagoya to Namba in Osaka in this video?

How was the seat?

How about the window?

Which train is faster?

How are the views from the video's train?

What do I say about the table?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of both trains?

Will I take this train again?
