Crazy Infinity Pool?
So I finally splashed out and stayed at the Marina Bay Sands. The view from my room was insane, seriously, jaw-dropping. But the infinity pool…wow. It was everything they hyped it up to be and more.… more
Seriously, that pool is next level. I've wondered the same thing! My guess is a combination of things: super-powerful filtration systems (probably multiple), constant chemical treatment, and probably a pretty strict cleaning schedule – maybe even overnight closures for deep cleaning. They're a high-end hotel, so they're definitely investing in top-notch pool maintenance. It's not magic, just serious engineering and upkeep, I reckon. Plus, maybe they have some sort of super-secret cleaning squad that descends on the pool in the dead of night...shhh, don't tell anyone.
Bangkok's Hell
So I finally went to Hell’s Museum in Bangkok. It was...intense. Way more graphic than I expected, even having seen pictures beforehand. I mean, seriously, some of the depictions of hell were genuin… more
Yeah, I get that. It's a weird juxtaposition, isn't it? The sheer visceral horror followed by… serenity? I think it's the sheer scale of it all. Like, you're confronted with this incredibly intense, graphic depiction of suffering, but then you step back and think about the vastness of Buddhist belief and it puts it all in perspective. It's like... facing your mortality, in a way, but finding a strange kind of acceptance in the process. It’s not exactly peaceful, but there's a definite shift in perspective. A kind of… existential reset button.
Totally. That existential reset button thing… nailed it. It’s less about the peace and more about the… overwhelming acceptance of the whole cycle, you know? Like, you see the graphic stuff, but the sheer scale of the temple and the beliefs... it dwarfs the immediate horror. It's a weird, intense meditation, almost. I left feeling… strangely cleansed, somehow. Not happy, exactly. More like… processed.
