HIi guys. Nice to meet you again.

Today is April first. Today is historic day for Korean railroad. We begin to run high speed train(hst) from today. Its' maximum speed is 300km/h or 480mile/h. We have constructed it for 10 years.

A few days ago we had a international symposium on Hst at a hotel in Seoul, capital city of South Korea . In there I met a gentleman from Florida. He was a chairman of Florida high speed rail authority. He talked about plan of high speed rail in Florida.
But I was not sure when they begin to construction or run HST in Florida. Who will fund it? Are there any other cities which have such a plan in America?

Even though they have a plan, it is another matter to begin to construct Hst rail. I know that funding the construction money is real hard thing in America.

We did it with all the money from government in Korea.

I want your answer. Thank you.

Your speeds are also wrong

160kph = 100mph
320kph = 200mph
640kph = 400mph

300kph is under 200mph nowhere near the 480mph you state...

April 1st? Not April Fools by any chance?

No, KNR really did choose April 1 to open the new high speed. April Fools Day donen't mean anything in this part of the world.

Yes, he did do his speed conversion backwards.
1 mile = 1.609344 km.
300 km/h = 186 mph
(yes, I know the exact figure would be 186.41136, but anything beyond the whole number would be in the range of insignificant figures.)

My apologies...

Either way it looks to be a fast train for sure...

sorry, I was wrong. I calculated it with opposite direction.
