SHANGHAI — For the second time in my life, I rode Shanghai’s Maglev (magnetic levitation) train to the airport in just seven minutes and 20 seconds. It was such a cool, speedy experience taking the monorail-like train from mid-Shanghai to the Pudong Airport. Riding the train is like taking a step into the future, a place where technology works magically. At 268 miles per hour, it travels the 18 miles in such a short time that it feels like an island of technology. I had the same impression a year ago, but riding it again brought new impressions.
