Stops Near Me, an App to Help You Using the Public Bus in Phnom Penh

My first time in Phnom Penh City was in 2013. I didn't like this city! Because it was hot, dusty, the city looks old, damp, the food & (they said) full of scams so made me a bit down. But since it was for a business trip, I can't really explore. So, I said I should come back again to explore the city to my heart's content. Fast forward, now the city is being upgraded.

Tapi gw udah seger, barang udah dipacking dalam ransel. Gw pun turun ke resepsionis di bawah. Setelah check-out, gw pun menunggu di samping kolam renang. Rencana gw pagi itu bakal ke Ho Chi Minh di Vietnam. Sebenernya dari Siem Reap lebih deket kalo gw ke Bangkok, tapi karena gw belum pernah ke Vietnam, jadilah gw beli tiket ...

Tempat ini gw nemu ga sengaja karena surfing di gugel map. ---- Artikel ini merupakan rangkaian perjalanan solo backpacking gua keliling ASEAN selama kurang lebih sebulan.
