Moving to Shanghai - what are the implications?
 

I am moving to Shanghai in a few months, responsible for the A/P region. Do any of you have any recommendations in terms of how to maximize the FF opportunities around Asia.

I have travelled extensively through the US/EU/LA but not as much in Asia a I am keen to draw on some of the experience of the "locals". Some examples of questions I have would be:
(1) Should I change loyalty to any of the Asian programs? I am 1K and Exec Plat today.
(2) Should I change my address from the US to Asia or will I miss out on a number of bonus opportunities that are for US members only?
(3) Where do I get the best deals out of Shanghai? How about Shanghai to London?
Etc.

Grateful for any wisdom fellow FlyerTalkers can offer.
