Singapore Botanic Gardens' National Orchid Garden: Worth the Hype?
So, I finally visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens, specifically the National Orchid Garden. Wow. Just...wow. I'd seen pictures, of course, but nothing prepared me for the sheer variety and vibran… more
Haha, I feel your pain! Getting lost in the Orchid Garden is practically a rite of passage. It's so gorgeous, you just get swept away. My tip? Pay attention to the little maps they have dotted around – they're small, but actually pretty helpful if you glance at them regularly. Also, maybe take a photo of the map at the entrance; a little digital backup never hurts. And seriously, don't be afraid to ask someone for directions. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Enjoy!
That's great advice! I was definitely worried about getting completely turned around in there. A photo of the map is genius – I would've never thought of that. Thanks for the tip about the staff too; I'll definitely be less hesitant to ask for help now. I'm really looking forward to it, even more so now!
Pasir Panjang's Ghost Ships?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang Terminal next week for work, and I've heard whispers about abandoned or decommissioned ships docked there. Are these just rumors, or is there a way to get a closer look a… more
Depends what you call "ghost ships". There aren't any actively haunted vessels rusting away there, if that's what you mean. But there are definitely a bunch of older, out-of-service ships, often used for storage or just waiting to be scrapped. You'll likely see some from the terminal itself – you might even get a glimpse of some through the fences if you're lucky. Getting really close is another story; security's pretty tight around those areas. Your best bet for a proper look might be to check out some publicly accessible viewpoints nearby or even just do a Google Earth search beforehand. You'll probably spot something interesting then. Good luck with your work trip!
That's really helpful, thanks! I wasn't expecting actual ghosts, more like...the vibe of ghost ships, you know? The rusting hulks and the feeling of forgotten things. I'll definitely try the Google Earth thing first – saves me a wasted trip. Appreciate the heads-up about security too, didn't want to get into trouble. Looking forward to seeing some of them from afar, at least.
