Can't wait for @BMR Genie to comment on this one.

Manila is so huge that going to the wrong place could be dangerous, snatchers or holdaper are common crimes, especially if the target is tourists.

Angkor Wat is an architectural masterpiece and the largest religious monument in the world – covering an area four times the size of Vatican City. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the first half of the 12th century, around the year 1110.

Many Cambodians view Vietnam as a “traditional enemy” that has long plotted to “absorb” Cambodia. The notion of Vietnamese “expansionism” remains alive in Cambodian historical memory and political culture, as does the claim that Hanoi has a “secret agenda” in Phnom Penh.
