About:Shopping in Hangzhou

I will be in Hangzhou (HNA resort hotel, should be near west lake) next week and would like to ask several small things:
1. How is it going with water? Which one is good water and which supermarket I should buy it from? (still water) What are the most famous supermarket stores (I would also like to buy some vegetables and fruits)?
2. I would like to check some Chinese-branded electronic equipment (mp3 player/cell phone/ebook reader). Are there some suggestions on Chinese brands which are considered good quality?
3. How much English is spoken in Hangzhou? I mean, does the people in the shop know English, and also if I ask for directions, how probable would be to find English speaking person?

Thanks in advance!
Aleks

1. Water in bottle could be purchase anywhere here. But for these brands, such as Evan, you have to a supermarket, where vegetable. This hotel located in scenic area, is a little far from shopping centers. U could take a taxi to the Century Mart which has set many branches in Hangzhou. Ask the hotel staff to show you the nearest one.
2. To be frank, these famous brands such as Nokia and Motor do made in China. You could find these goods anywhere such as Five Star and Gome.
3. Seldom staffs in shops, bus or taxi could understand English. Better choose these youngs, such as students, to guide the way.
