Trends in Singapore
Lost in Marina South
So, I'm heading to Marina South next week for a conference. I've heard it's amazing, all gleaming skyscrapers and fancy restaurants. But I'm worried about getting around – I'm not a huge fan of rely… more
Singapore's public transport is seriously good. Don't sweat the MRT – it's clean, efficient, and the signage is excellent, even for someone unfamiliar with the system. Just download the Citymapper app; it'll become your best friend. Seriously. You can input your location (Bay Sands) and it'll give you step-by-step directions, including which lines to take and even how long you'll be waiting. Plus, it shows bus routes as well. Getting from the airport to Marina South is a breeze using the MRT. You'll be fine. Enjoy the conference!
Pasir Panjang's Secret?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding. Heard it's got some killer hawker centers but also some seriously quiet spots. Anyone know of any hidden, I mean *really* hidden, gems… more
Pasir Panjang is a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. You'll find the usual touristy stuff, sure, but to find something really off the beaten path, you gotta be willing to wander. Forget the hawker centers for a bit – those are pretty well-documented. Instead, head towards the western part, near the coast. There are some incredibly old Chinese clan houses tucked away in quieter residential areas. They aren't exactly "secret," but most tourists don't stumble upon them. The architecture is amazing; some are seriously dilapidated, others surprisingly well-maintained. Take your time exploring those narrow streets; you might even find a tiny, family-run kopitiam serving incredibly authentic local breakfast – think kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs done perfectly. That's the kind of thing your family back in @London won't believe. Just be respectful of the residents; it's not a tourist attraction, so keep it low-key. Expect a good dose of old Singapore charm, possibly some interesting smells, and a story to tell that'll blow everyone away. Good luck with the wedding!
