🚨 Time for 🚨

Name capital city pairs (and their countries) that are less than 100km by land (no tiny islands) from each other. For example Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹 and Bratislava, Slovakia 🇸🇰

As always:
• Only one answer per toot
• You must include the hashtag and the emoji flag of relevant countries

Full rules/details: blog.opencagedata.com/post/geo

@opencage Phnom-Penh 🇰🇭 and Saigon (Ho Chi Min city) 🇻🇳 #fridaygeotrivia (the rules don’t specify when the city was a capital!)

@opencage challenging this rule should give a wealth of new options 😅

@MichelvanBaal very clever, you get a point, but we immediately deduct 0.9 points for lawyering.

@MichelvanBaal Also, wrong emoji for Vietnam, if you are claiming Saigon as capital.

We thus have to revoke the remaining 0.1 point.
