When the sun comes up.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Sunrise is the time for 'Tak Bat' (Alms giving) in many villages. Monks walk through the village as the sun rises. The temple of Angkor Wat is famous for its alignment with the sunrise, especially during the Equinox. Sunrise often symbolizes the return of the hero or the end of a dark spell in classical folktales. Cambodian youth use sunrise photos to express 'Good Morning' (អរុណសួស្តី) on platforms like Facebook and Telegram.

Don't say 'Sun Climb'
