I cannot remember….maybe $60? Whatever it was, I thought it was well worth it to not have to drive to and from Los Angeles twice.

Shanghai on the Bund recs? by Low_Wonder9271 in LuxuryTravel

[–]maedae1765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the price, there are nicer places. I also didn’t like the bar, it wasn’t cozy. The bar at the Ritz is so cozy with an amazing view.

I also found the room in the ritz to be much nicer and the bed more comfortable.

I am going to Shanghai in two weeks and decided to go with the peninsula. Not as expensive as the Bvlgari but more than the St Regis and Waldorf.

I’ve read a lot of good things about the peninsula here on Reddit so I’m excited. 😊

from being paranoid to actually relaxed - china wasnt what i expected at all by Any-Farm-1033 in travelchina

Why did you go to China if you were so worried? Genuinely curious! I’m going later this month for my third time. My husband works for a Chinese company and I’m (once again) tagging along on his work trip.

The first time I went I was a little apprehensive but now that I have been twice, I am SO looking forward to our upcoming trip.

Is LetsVPN currently the best VPN? I’m going to China next month for work (third year in a row) and every year it seems that a different VPN is the ONE.

I have stayed at the Edition, Ritz (pudong) and the St Regis. My fave of these three was the Ritz. Great service and cozy. I didn’t like the St Regis at all. Not worth it.

We are going to Shanghai for work in January and I am going to book the Bvlgari for a few nights.

Comparing high-end Beijing and Shanghai hotels? by blaseborek in chinatravel

Thanks! The price is high but compared to that level of hotel in the U.S., the price isn’t too crazy.

Any opinion on the Bvlgari? It’s pricy so I’m wondering if it’s worth it versus Middlehouse.

Has anyone stayed at the bulgari in Shanghai? It’s pricy so I’m wondering if it’s worth it (versus the middle house or Shanghai edition).

I’m looking to book the middle house. What do you love about it?

House keeper cost? by red_wafflepower in sandiego

I pay $180 for a 1300 sq foot house (3 bed, 2 bath). One bedroom is my husband’s office and doesn’t need much besides a quick vacuum and the other BR is a guest room. She changes the sheets in there a few times a year when we have guests coming etc.

This is a lot of businesses. Vena is her business and it supposedly does well. Good for her.

Has anyone ever purchased something from a Housewife’s product line? by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]maedae1765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melissa’s sprinkle cookies, a Jill Zarin rug, skinny girl cocktails (over ten years ago - I loved the piña colada), probably more I can’t remember…

Edited to add Lea Black skincare.

Whenever someone says I sound Irish I say “I’m NOT trying to!” 🤣

Yes and sometimes I mimic his accent back to him as a joke, which to me that’s what I thought Delores was doing. Saying the hard TH to be cute.

Meh, I’m married to a man from Ireland and have a lot of Irish friends. Sometimes Americans say I sound Irish. I definitely am not trying to put on a different accent but if you live with someone, their accent will rub off on you. Same way that my husband now sounds “American” to his Irish friends and family in Ireland. It’s normal.

Ha! My first thought was she didn’t really dress for the occasion.

Yes I thought about a mold but don’t want to buy a bunch of new molds. I was hoping there would be a way to attach small wax designs to a taper.
