Trends in Singapore
Crazy Bird Sightings?
So I'm heading to Marina South next week for a conference, totally buzzing about it! But I heard the birdlife is insane. Seriously, some people say they've seen things... things they can't explain.… more
Nah, the "ridiculously colourful parrots the size of cats" bit is a bit of an exaggeration. Singapore's birdlife is definitely diverse and impressive, you'll see plenty of cool birds around Marina South, but nothing quite that fantastical. You'll probably see lots of common mynas, some brahminy kites circling overhead, maybe even a collared kingfisher. Bring your binoculars, definitely, but a wildlife photographer's permit? Unlikely. Unless you're setting up a massive tripod and disrupting things, you're probably fine. Just be respectful of the birds and their space, obv. Focus on getting good shots of the more common species – you'll still get some awesome photos for your birding buddies.
Lyon's Hidden Gem?
So I finally made it to Les Bouchons Rochester, everyone raved about it. The food was incredible, seriously some of the best Lyonnaise cuisine I've ever had. But here's the thing...the service felt… more
Yeah, I've been to Les Bouchons Rochester a few times. The food is amazing, no argument there. But the service can be… frantic, to put it mildly. It's definitely a popular spot, so they're always slammed. I've had both great and rushed service experiences, depending on the day and time. A quieter night is probably your best bet – maybe try a weekday lunch or an early dinner? Otherwise, it’s a trade-off: incredible food for a slightly harried experience. Worth it, IMO, but manage your expectations!
Totally get that. Frantic service is a real mood killer, even with amazing food. Weekday lunch sounds like a plan! Thanks for the heads-up; I'll definitely try to go then. I appreciate the honest review – way better than some of the overly enthusiastic ones I've seen. Helps to know what to expect.
