Hangzhou

I'm in Hangzhou, sitting in a Sofitel, and its about to thunderstorm. I wanted to find a cheaper place to use the internet, but its getting very dark all of the sudden, I just saw some lightening, and I seem to have no choice but to go here to use the internet.
I still don't really know where to go to use the internet cheaply near my apartment. I live in a huge building about 20 minutes ride away from the city center, something like my old situation in Hanoi, but here the scale is bigger, even though Hangzhou is a smaller city than Hanoi.
It is now storming violently, a lot of wind. I go to language school every day for four hours and have two different classes inside that time. One speaking for two hours and one grammer for two hours, but it all turns into speaking, because we are all terrible at reading, writing, and grammer. It's hard to say how good I am, but I am enjoying it.
Hangzhou was actually a great choice for a city in China to visit. It is not like Beijing, the air is breatheable, there are shady streets, and there is a huge lake to the west of the city. The city does not extend around the lake, because on the far side of it there are mountains. Supposedly there are tea plantations out there, and we plan on visiting them one of these days. Shanghai is about 1.5 hours north of here, and I'm going in a couple weekends.
I have about 10-15 classmates at various levels of Chinese. About 1/3 Americans. I'm probably going to eat dinner with a Swede and a Dutch guy. I live across the hall from a Chinese-Ecuadorian. It's a diverse crowd.
I actually like this city, which is more than I can say for any other Chinese city I've visited.
My room is tiny. I am figuring out the buses, or trying to. Nothing really unusual has happened, other than the first night here. I was supposed to be met at this hotel by a guy named Mr. Song. He didn't show so I was kind of stuck at about midnight on the side of the road. I found an expensive hotel, and it turned out fine.
