Shanghai: With the Shanghai-Beijing bullet train set to begin service in about two weeks`time, China is ready to impress the world not only with its speed, but also with its service.

Rules for these bullet train attendants include:
o Smile with only eight front teeth showing, a feat achieved by daily chopstick-biting training.
oSmile through the eyes.
Training in this skill involves covering all facial features save the eyes and smilling to each other
o Be able to perform in talent shows
o Provide "5S" services-smile, speed, standards, sincerity and satisfy - passengers.

Some 400 stewardesses will serve the Shanghai section of this high-speed railway, of whom 270 were selected from 3.000 candidates from all over China - many of them former flight attendants. The rest were chosen from staff on other high-speed train services.
The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train will have a top speed of 300 kmh - reduced from 350 kmh because of safety concerns. The 1,318 km rail trip is expected to take four hours and 48 minutes, instead of the current 10 hours.

Könnte eine alternative zum Inlandsflug auf dieser Strecke werden, rechnet man mal all die Zeiten für Anreise Flughafen, Security etc. runter, spart man Zeit und Nerven.
Das Chopstick-biting training find ich super, werde einige chopsticks in Zukunft bei BA und LH Flügen im Gepäck haben, für die Vieltelefonierer in Lounges nehme ich dann einen Kauknochen für größere Hund mit
