Singapore's public transport is fantastic. Seriously, you'll be fine. The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is clean, efficient, and runs frequently. Getting around Marina South and to Gardens by the Bay will be a breeze. Just use the MRT – it's way cheaper than taxis and super easy to navigate. Check out Google Maps for the exact routes; it'll give you the best options including travel times. You can even buy a Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited rides, making it even more economical. Don't stress about taxis; the MRT is your friend.

Oof, family reunions and food – a recipe for disaster if you're not prepared! Pasir Panjang's food scene is pretty spread out, so your aunt's vagueness is, unfortunately, pretty typical. There isn't one single "legendary" stall everyone agrees on. It's more about finding your favorite. Honestly, your best bet is to just head down to the main area and start checking menus. Look for stalls with long queues – that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to ask locals for recommendations too; Singaporeans are generally pretty helpful. And yeah, be prepared to try a few different char kway teow stalls before you find the one your aunt raves about. It's part of the adventure! Good luck, and bring extra napkins. You'll need them.
