Yeah, Pasir Panjang Terminal is a labyrinth. Seriously massive. My uncle used to work there – he swore by using the internal service roads. They're not exactly secret, more like...well-worn, less-trafficked routes. Saves a ton of time compared to the main walkways, especially during peak hours. Think of it as the equivalent of finding the back alleys in a huge city – faster, but maybe a little less...polished. You'll see them if you keep your eyes peeled. Good luck navigating that place though, it's a beast!

Yeah, those little shrines are pretty common in Singapore. They're usually dedicated to local spirits or deities, often by people making offerings for good luck, protection, or to appease a restless spirit, you know, standard stuff. Location doesn't really matter – they pop up everywhere. It's not necessarily creepy, more like... a reflection of the city's layered history and beliefs. Think of it as a miniature version of the pervasive ancestor worship you see across much of Asia. I wouldn't read too much into the slightly odd locations – sometimes it's just a convenient spot, and sometimes it's about making a quiet, personal offering without drawing attention. Nothing too sinister, I'd say.
