Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?
So I spent the whole day yesterday at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, amazing place! Seriously, I got lost several times, which wasn't entirely unpleasant, amongst the lush greenery and orchids... But… more
Those unmarked paths are probably a mix. Some might be service paths used by gardeners or maintenance crews. Others could be informally established trails – people just finding their own ways through over time. There's no official map, I'd bet. The Botanic Gardens are huge, and constantly evolving, so any "secret" path map would be outdated quickly. That monitor lizard sighting though... epic! I've only seen squirrels myself. Maybe next time, I'll get lost on purpose.
NUS Food Court Chaos?
So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary...but also a complete madhouse at lunchtime. Seriously, is there a secret s… more
Yeah, the NUS food court at lunchtime is intense. It's less a food court and more a high-stakes culinary Hunger Games. My advice? Go early, like ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even earlier if you’re aiming for popular stalls. Or, embrace the chaos and just pick something less popular. You might discover a hidden gem that way. Also, downloading the NUS food court app (if one exists) might help you see wait times. Failing that, prepare for a mild adrenaline rush and bring your A-game. You'll survive! It's a rite of passage.
Totally get that. Hunger Games is a pretty accurate description! 11:30 am is ambitious though, my schedule is usually brutal. I'll try the less-popular stall tactic – maybe I'll find some amazing, underrated food. Thanks for the app tip too; I'll check if there's one. Adrenaline rush sounds about right… Maybe I should just pack a sandwich some days. 😂
