Don't you love these globe-trotters with their amazing photos, and even more amazing stories to tell? The h2g2 Post brings you another exciting episode of the Suzie Q Ferguson Awards for Terrible Tour-Guiding. This week, Milla's in Shanghai: the view is great, but her headache is awful.

It started when I sent Milla a stunning photo of downtown Pittsburgh at night which the mayor had posted on Twitter.

Milla: Reminds me of Shanghai. [Posts picture.}

DG: Wow! You took this? How?

Milla: I took several photos, and Google decided to stitch them together. [Some people have all the luck.] Smoggy like crazy, but the riverbend made me think of it.

DG: Er, that's not a riverbend in Pittsburgh…it's two rivers getting together to make a third river…

Milla: Oh. Well. The Philly image is better anyway. Pittsburg, sorry. Anyways.

I asked Milla about her picture. This is her story:

Story is that my party-loving project colleagues wanted to go to this sky bar. I was already sensory overwhelmed from the restaurant we just came from, and then we spent some time in this loud, dark, hot place, late at night.


So a few hours later my worst-ever migraine struck.


And since we had been out, I though maybe food poisoning? too much alcohol?


but I didn't really drink that much – a beer and 2 glasses wine over the whole evening... then I tried my migraine meds, and everything was fine and dandy within 20 minutes.


So, cool to have been there, but I wasn't in shape to enjoy it.


The location is called the Bund (no idea why that is, or what it means).


DG: The Bund is the name of the skybar?


Milla: No, the bar/restaurant had another name. it's the stretch along this side of the river.


I can't remember what the bar was called.


Summary: Some party people dragged me off, and I didn't enjoy it.


tl;dr

Verdict: Suzie Q tour guiding at its finest. Enjoy the pic.
