Well first off - Shanghai is VERY safe. As someone mentioned above, it's very Westernized and personally, it feels as if I'm on Wall St. in NYC. Kinda boring. Taiwan is also very modernized now so I wouldn't worry about that either.

Korea...depends. North or South?

No - my cell doesn't work there. I have a SMS card that I switch out when I go to Asia. However, I use Skype (skype.com) which is cheap and most of the time free (if your hubby also has it). I do a lot of video conference over that to my colleagues in Germany and Switzerland.
