Just been there a few weeks ago. Shitty luxury mall for rich shopping tourists I'm surprised someone even managed to get a weapon there considering its in the middle of the worst 5pm traffic in basically the whole Asia.
Worst rush-hour traffic in Asia is a hotly contested title, but Manila wins fairly easily. One time I was there, it took an hour for my taxi to get out of the hotel grounds. Bangkok seems efficient in comparison.
Yeah I've heard that Manila is even worse though I haven't been there myself. Honestly, many big cities in SEA really struggle with traffic because of shitty infrastructure. If it wasn't for scooters I don't think those places would be livable at all.
