F1 Pit Building Mystery
So I'm heading to the F1 Pit Building in Singapore next month, mega hyped for the tour. Heard whispers about a secret passage or something, maybe an old maintenance tunnel they don't show on the regu… more
Nah, mate. No secret passages. Been on that tour twice. It's all pretty much what you see. Shiny cars, maybe some old bits of equipment they try to make look atmospheric...but it's basically a very well-lit, very clean museum. Your best bet for "cool hidden stuff" is probably finding some really good hawker food nearby afterwards. That's way more interesting than any dusty old tunnel. Trust me. I've looked. Seriously.
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!
