Stocking up on Internet

I was very careful about my Internet use after buying 40 hours at the bank. If I wasn’t on the computer, I physically removed the Ethernet cable so I couldn’t forget and walk away with my email connected or a web browser open.

But, about 15-20 hours into it (by my count), the tap ran dry again. I’m definitely not sure how this works – whether those 40 hours are on a timer that starts when you pay, or if it’s for 40 hours of actual Internet use. I don’t speak enough Chinese and the woman at the bank doesn’t speak enough English to really figure it out. We tried…

Moving forward, I’m told that I can check my hours online. Just go to www.bj.cnc.cn.

No problem.
