In Shanghai the first decision is whether to stay in Pudong or Puxi. There are many people who cite the disadvantages of Pudong, mainly traffic, but they have never bothered me as -- get this -- I am so declasse that I take public transit and am happy using either the subway or the ferry. But if you're not, that will limit your choices.

After having loved the Upper House in Hong Kong more than the Peninsula, FS, MOs, and IC there, however, I wonder if the Puli is also worthy for your consideration in Shanghai if you really like modern design. We regret not having checked out the Puli...or the Opposite House in Beijing.

I have a couple of nights at a Suite at the Imperial in Vienna this week. Very different from my usual type of place, but the Park Hyatt reviews on here didn't appear to justify the price.

Over years it was my "dream-hotel" and number one on my to-do list. I stayed in 2006. Over all a stunning hotel, but my suite wasn`t renovated. Hope you have a great stay and enjoy Imperial-cake!!!

Haha, no need for face masks since we'll be nearly 5000 km from the Ebola zone even in Rwanda, and we've got antibiotics to treat Plague in the very unlikely event that we get exposed. Nothing like a little excitement while traveling. (And we had the Iceland volcanic eruption to deal with the last time we went to Africa for our 2010 wedding. Mother Nature loves to provide challenges for us when visiting Africa, it seems.)
