Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?
So, I'm heading to the Singapore Botanic Gardens next week – been looking forward to it for ages! I saw some pictures of these really secluded, almost hidden, walkways winding through the rainforest… more
The trails through the rainforest section are pretty well-maintained, honestly. You won't be hacking through vines with a machete or anything. They're definitely more "peaceful wander" than "jungle survival," but they're not perfectly paved walkways either. Think gently sloping paths, maybe a little uneven in places. Wear decent shoes – sneakers are fine – and you'll be good. You should be fine, even if your fitness level isn't, like, Olympic athlete level. Just bring water! It gets pretty humid.
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. 😂
