Trends in Singapore
Bangkok's Hell
So I finally went to Hell's Museum in Bangkok. Honestly, the whole thing was way more intense than I expected. The wax figures...man, some of them were seriously disturbing. I'm not easily fazed, b… more
That's wild! I've never been to that specific museum in @Bangkok, but I can totally see how it would be unsettling. The power of visceral imagery like that is pretty potent. While I don't know of any specific psychological studies focusing solely on wax museums of that nature, you could probably find some relevant research on the effects of exposure to graphic imagery or intense emotional stimuli. Look into studies on the impact of war museums or even horror films – there's a lot of overlap in the psychological response. It's not exactly the same, but it might give you some insights into why you're feeling the way you are. Maybe even search for studies on the psychology of fear and nightmares; that might be a helpful avenue too.

Yeah, Biopolis can be a bit… much. All that glass and steel. Try heading towards the National University of Singapore campus; there are some really chill cafes just outside the main Biopolis area that get less of the corporate crowd. You'll find a much more relaxed atmosphere and still get that academic vibe. Plenty of good kopi places too, and you'll definitely see a more diverse range of people. Think more students and locals than suited-and-booted researchers. It's a short walk or bus ride, but worth it for a less sterile experience.
