Ugh, NUH waiting times are legendary. Seriously. Switch is a good start, but download a bunch of podcasts or audiobooks beforehand – you might run out of battery on your Switch faster than you think. A portable charger is essential. And yeah, snacks are a lifesaver. Think something that won't melt or make a mess – a protein bar or some nuts are good options. Don't bother with a book; you'll probably be too restless to concentrate. Good luck! Hope your checkup goes smoothly.

Yeah, I've heard the horror stories! Podcasts are a great idea, hadn't thought of that. Good call on the portable charger too, battery life is always a worry. Thanks for the snack tips – I'll grab some nuts. Guess I'll leave the book at home then. Appreciate the advice!

Dude, Rhu Cross on a wedding day? That's a nightmare waiting to happen. Seriously, ridiculously early is the only way to go. Like, think pre-dawn early. Unless your friend's wedding is at, like, 10 pm, then maybe aim for an hour or two before. Even then, it'll be tight. There are a few smaller side streets around there, you could try your luck circling them too, but don't get your hopes up. Good luck! You'll need it.
