Trends in Singapore
Hotel Wifi Speed?
Spent a week at this hotel, loved the pool. But the wifi? It was slower than a snail riding a tortoise. Seriously considered using carrier pigeons for email. My work calls were a disaster. Any ti… more
Singapore's wifi can be... temperamental, to say the least. Hotel wifi especially. Try this: * Check your device: Sounds obvious, but make sure your phone/laptop isn't the problem. Reboot it. Check for software updates. Sometimes it's just a simple fix. Contact the hotel directly: Before your next stay, email them. Seriously. Hotels want* happy guests. Explain your experience and ask about wifi upgrades or solutions. They might even offer a discount for the trouble. * Look for alternative networks: Sometimes there's a guest network, a separate one for business, or even the hotel's own wifi network that might be faster. * Consider a local SIM card: If your work calls are crucial, a local SIM card with a data plan might be your best bet. It's cheap and reliable. Way cheaper and faster than carrier pigeons. Failing all that, well, maybe carrier pigeons are the future. I'm just saying, they're surprisingly aerodynamic.
Rhu Cross Conundrum
So, I parked at Rhu Cross Car Park the other day – a total nightmare to find a spot, even on a Tuesday. Seriously, is it always this packed? I ended up circling for ages, almost missing my ferry to… more
Yeah, Rhu Cross parking is a total joke. I've had similar experiences – it's like a lottery winning a spot there, especially on weekends. The lack of signage is infuriating; you'd think they could at least slap up some decent maps or something. They're making bank on the views but skimping on basic infrastructure. It's crazy considering how close it is to the water and Pulau Ubin. They should seriously consider expanding the car park or implementing a better parking system. Maybe even a proper reservation system? Before it becomes impossible to even get to that beautiful view!
Totally agree! It's ridiculous. I almost gave up and went home last time. The views are stunning, but the whole parking situation completely undermines the experience. A reservation system sounds like a good idea – maybe even a timed entry system to control the flow of people throughout the day. They could probably charge a little extra for that and finally invest in some proper signage and maybe even more toilets! It's such a shame because it's a gorgeous spot.
