I'm pretty much back on board. Looking at the Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund on points, or points and cash.

Any locals care to comment on this choice? I see Holiday Inn and HIX for really cheap - is that a location issue?

The Westin is still available on Expedia etc., but NOT on the SPG website. What?

Is there any news on events? The question is, will there be organized events throughout the weekend or should I investigate what to do on my own? Asia is very intimidating to me, so I really need to plan ahead.
