NAIROBI Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 UK , Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Kenya will vote for Bahraini Sheikh Salman during next week's world soccer governing body FIFA elections.


Nick Mwendwa, the Kenyan football president, said Salman will be his choice in tandem with CAF's recommendation Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 UK , passed in Kigali a week ago for the continent to support Salman's candidacy in bid to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA president.


This comes barely a week after Mwendwa had been voted in to replace Sam Nyamweya as Kenya's football boss.


""It is most likely where Confederation of African Football (CAF) will go is where we will go. This is a collective voting, but we will look at what favours us as a country,"" said Mwendwa Adidas Ultra Boost Mens UK , Monday in Nairobi.


The CAF in its general meeting in Kigali, Rwanda early February agreed to back Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Sheikh Salman for the presidency.


""I have spoken to one of the candidates running for FIFA presidency and I hope to speak to the others too. Probably in the next coming days we will speak to more candidates but primarily, we will go with what CAF recommended Adidas Ultra Boost Womens UK ,"" Mwendwa said.


There are five candidates contesting for the FIFA presidency. UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino, Jordan FA president Prince Ali, South African businessman Tokyo Sexwale and former FIFA advisor Jerom Champagne are seeking the mantle to run FIFA for the next five years. Salman Adidas Ultra Boost UK , Infantino, Sexwale and Champagne were all in Rwanda to campaign.


The decision improves Salman's hopes of replacing Blatter. Salman and Infantino are the strongest candidates to win the February 26 election. The biggest continental grouping among the 209 voting members is Africa.


Although CAF executives declared their support for Sheikh Salman, there is nothing compelling African countries to vote for him.

BEIJING， Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- He Kunlan was excited as he took a high-speed train Friday from the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming to Shanghai more than 2，000 kilometers away， a journey of around 12 hours.


"It was the first time that I had been on a high-speed train and I was too excited to sleep well last night，" said the 58-year-old from Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture. "The journey starts in the morning and ends the same evening!"


Previously each trip took up to 40 hours. The bullet-train service， which was launched only a week ago， makes the journey much easier.


He was going to Shanghai to visit his son， daughter-in-law and new grandson during Spring Festival. From Friday， hundreds of millions of Chinese head home for lunar new year celebrations， the most important holiday in China. Some elderly people now move in the opposite direction to visit their children in cities.


The travel rush known as Chunyun is the world's biggest vacation. According to the Ministry of Transport， a record 2.98 billion trips will be made during the 40-day period， up 2.2 percent from last year.


Many people take the train home and high-speed trains have greatly alleviated the stress on both the transportation system and travellers alike. More than 65 percent of train trips this year will be high-speed.


China has built the world's largest high-speed rail network in just a decade， greatly shortening travel time for what were once gruelling cross-country trips.


The 22，000 kilometers of high-speed track are expected to reach 30，000 kilometers in 2020， linking more than 80 percent of China's big cities.


"The bullet train takes me back to Hunan in just a few hours， compared to 25 before，"said office worker Long Jue in Beijing.


"Previously， the trip home was an ordeal. If you even got on the train， the aisles， and even the toilets， were packed with passengers，" said Long.


"The seats on high-speed trains are much more comfortable，" said Zhang Miao， a college student in Xi'an. Zhang booked his ticket to Wuhan by mobile phone. "The booking process was quite easy，" he said. Train tickets can be booked by phone or through websites and apps up to 30 days in advance. This has put an end to the typical sight of armies of migrant workers besieging ticketing halls seen in past Chunyuns.
