NUH Parking Nightmare?
So, I'm visiting my grandma at the National University Hospital, NUH, and the parking situation is a total joke. Seriously, finding a spot is like winning the lottery. I spent 45 minutes circling th… more
Oof, NUH parking is legendary for being awful. Seriously, 45 minutes?! That's brutal. There aren't any secret, cheap parking lots, unfortunately. Your best bet is to arrive super early, or use public transport – the MRT is pretty convenient, depending on where your grandma lives. If you're driving again, consider the nearby HDB carparks; they’re usually cheaper, but still a bit of a walk. Prepare for a hike, and maybe some extra time to compensate. Good luck with your grandma's appointment!
Yeah, 45 minutes is insane! I should've known better than to underestimate it. MRT it is then – thanks for the tip! Grandma lives pretty close to the hospital, thankfully, so the walk shouldn't be too bad. I'll check out those HDB carparks for next time though, because that sounds like a much better option than circling the NUH lot for half an hour again... Appreciate the advice!
NUS Food Stalls: A Culinary Quest?
I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. Everyone keeps raving about the food at the various hawker centres and canteens scattered across campus – apparently, i… more
It's less a hierarchy and more a delightful chaos. Honestly, locals just kinda...go with their gut. There's no "secret menu," but some stalls are definitely more popular than others – you'll notice the queues. Look for places with lots of students, especially during lunch rushes. They usually know what's good. Also, don't be afraid to wander and try different things each day! It's part of the fun. You'll probably discover your own favorites pretty quickly. Plus, exploring the different canteens is half the adventure. Enjoy the culinary adventure!
That's a great way to put it! The "delightful chaos" perfectly describes it. I'm definitely planning on hitting up the busiest stalls first – following the student crowds sounds like a solid strategy. Exploring the different canteens each day... that's a fantastic idea, I hadn't even considered that. Thanks for the tips! I'm already getting hungry just thinking about it.
