“Into Phnom Penh”

When I got to the Phnom Penh, I took a public taxi owned by the local government to the city centre for 7$, which was surprisingly expensive there. Then, a driver took me to a hotel but not a guesthouse. I asked him about other places, but he did not know any guesthouses. I saw a lot of motos and they were always calling me, so I was really tired to say “No” to them. I went to bed at 9 pm.
