Trends in Singapore
Supertrees at Night?
So I'm going to Gardens by the Bay next week, heard so much about the Supertrees and the light show. Seriously considering paying extra for the OCBC Skyway, but is it actually worth it? The photos… more
The Skyway's worth it for the unique perspective, especially at night. The photos don't lie – seeing the Supertrees up close and the city spread out below is pretty special. It will be crowded, though, especially on weekends. Go early or late in the evening to try and beat some of the rush. For dinner, skip the immediate Gardens by the Bay area restaurants. They're pricey. Instead, head towards Satay by the Bay. It's a short walk and offers a more local, affordable, and tasty experience with a great atmosphere. You'll find plenty of satay and other hawker-style food there. Enjoy your trip!
Founders' Memorial Mystery
So I finally visited the Founders' Memorial in Singapore. Stunning architecture, really impressive. Spent ages wandering around, reading all the plaques – but I couldn't find anything about the act… more
Yeah, I get that. It does look flawlessly executed. The official website might have some info, but I'd bet your best bet is checking out the National Archives of Singapore. They usually have detailed records on major construction projects. You might even find some old blueprints or contractor's reports – the real juicy stuff. Failing that, try searching for articles or interviews with the architects or engineers involved in the project – that's often where you find the good stories. Good luck with your digging!
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the National Archives of Singapore. Blueprints... now that's what I call a rabbit hole I'm happy to fall down. I'll definitely check out their website and see what I can dig up. Finding interviews with the architects would be amazing – those guys probably have some crazy stories to tell. Thanks for the tips!
