From MSP, I think I may go spend a few days in Singapore. I have friends there, I always like the place and I have 4 GUC's to burn.

I know NRT, PVG or PEK will also get me across the line and right now it looks like I can do PEK for about $1000.

I kind of hate doing a MR but the GUC for next year will be a lot more useful for my work travel than they were this year.
Remember that PEK or PVG may require an expensive visa, which is also a hassle, but you should be able to route at least PVG to be eligible for TWOV.
