A friend thought "Quest's stock head strap and facial interface were too hard to use," so they went and bought some third-party accessories. After seeing that, I bought them too(a bit pricey, honestly, but they really are good

To save a bit on fare, I didn't take the direct high-speed rail. I chose to take a coach to Hefei, then a regular-speed hard-seat train to Hangzhou. This plan saved me 100 yuan, but it was way too much trouble! The coach to Hefei took two and a half hours, and the regular hard-seat train from Hefei to Hangzhou took five and a half hours! By comparison, the direct high-speed rail only takes two and a half hours. I got on the coach at eight in the morning and didn't arrive until six in the evening.
At Hefei Station I happened to spot the ridiculous Hefei–Hefei South service, and a blue double-decker train


After getting to Hangzhou, there wasn't anything especially notable, just everyday stuff. Went to Gonglian CC, ate at Saizeriya, and went to Apple West Lake
I stayed in Hangzhou for about half a month, and there wasn't much besides eating, drinking, and having fun with friends(mainly because I can't remember anymore
When I was at the Apple Store by West Lake, I wanted to buy an Apple Watch, but it really was too expensive so I didn't. Later, a friend said I could get an S7 or an S9: the former is cheaper, and the latter is the last mainland China version with fast charging. On impulse, I found an S9 on Xianyu for an in-person deal and bought it(

It was about 1,100 yuan. Honestly, pretty good—91% battery health, enough to last me until the next time I upgrade(
As an aside, on the way back I saw this LCD on Metro Line 5. I know you're Hangzhou MTR, but this is a little too MTR-like, isn't it

I wrote a separate note about this, so I won't write it again here(
Notes on Attending the Alibaba White Hat Conference
After I got home, nothing especially interesting happened. Maybe there were more little things I just can't remember, or I was too lazy to write them down. It was basically just back and forth between home and the arcade
I spent the first half of the month having fun in Hangzhou, and the second half resting at home. That's about it(
