Capitol Guest House

It was really cheap! $3 a night.

And it's located somewhat in the city. Right next to it there's a market. I walked in there and sat down at stalls and ate porridge for 1000riels. It was yummy!

Sugarcane juice was only 300 riels (smaller bag according to the seller, but sufficient to quench my thirst).

The guest house however is not the cleanest and the fan wasn't very cool. First night, I had an inside room that faced another building. I never got any sunlight and it was not very well ventilated area.

The second time I went to get a room (coming back from Siem Reap), I got an outside room. I found a cockroach that was 2 inches in size. I was mortified!! I locked my bathroom door in effort to lock it in.

Because I was staying at a room facing the street, people sat there conversing late into the night, so I got a Japanese guy to kill the cockroach for me. Thanks, dude!

I continued to find many bugs on the bed. It's hard to find a cheap, quality room!

One good thing about capital is that they have lots of tours. Phnom Penh City tour cost $6 with a tour guide and $3 without. However, this does not include the entrance fee.

Also, bus going from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap is $4, and going from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh is only $3! Weird. Be warned of the terribly bumpy road!

Food isn't that good. I had fried rice. It was literally fried rice with charred pieces and it costs 3000 riels totally not worth it. I'd rather go eat the 1000r-2000r instant fried noodle on the street!
