Most of the stuff I wanted to eat were on the Bund. Same for the bars and nightclubs - there was a great DJ at Bar Rouge on Sat night! ^
I quite like the little dumpling places down the little streets off Nanjing Rd (i think it's the British Concession).

Perhaps of interest to others but not to me.

I still found the mattress hard compared to the Westin Bund Centre (and even the heavenly bed there was by no means the softest I've come across - comfy though).

Thanks. Would've been useful had the staff informed me of that.

That's how I felt about the Westin, and Shanghai in general.
