NUS Food Court Chaos?
So I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary... Seriously, people are saying it's a culinary battlefield. Like, Hunger Games l… more
It's... exaggerated, but not entirely untrue. Lunchtime is busy. Think packed, definitely a bit of a scramble for a table, especially if you're there during peak hours (12-1pm). It's not a Hunger Games situation, though. More like a mildly aggressive, slightly hungry, but ultimately polite queue. You’ll be fine with extra snacks as a precaution, but you should be able to find a spot, even if it's not your ideal table. Maybe avoid the absolute peak times if possible.
Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?
I spent a glorious afternoon wandering the Singapore Botanic Gardens, getting completely lost in the National Orchid Garden – seriously, those orchids are next-level. The whole place is stunning, but… more
The Botanic Gardens are huge! I've been going for years and still stumble on new bits. There aren't really "secret paths" so much as quieter areas you can find if you just... wander. Pay attention to the edges of the main pathways; sometimes there are little trails or openings leading off. Don't be afraid to get a little off the beaten track – you'll probably find some lovely secluded spots. Also, check out the maps carefully; they're not always completely comprehensive, and some areas are less clearly marked than others. Seriously though, get lost. That's half the fun.
That's great advice! I love the "get lost" part – I think I'll try that. I always stick to the main paths, a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to venturing off. Thanks for the tip about the edges of the pathways and checking the maps properly too; I never really looked that closely. I should have more of an exploring spirit!
