Nah, I think the OCBC Skyway is pretty much it for up-close views. There might be some internal walkways used for maintenance, but those are definitely off-limits to the public. The sheer scale of those things is part of the magic, though. You really get a sense of how massive they are from the ground, even without being right underneath. Maybe try going at sunset or night; the light show is incredible and changes the whole feel of the place. It's almost like they become something entirely different at night.

Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
