Hi,
So I'm flying into Cambodia in just a little over a week. Either going to fly into Phnom Penh then buy a motorbike and ride to Siem Reap, or fly into Siem Reap then ride to Phnom Penh. I haven't decided yet, the police in China have my passport changing my residency permit into an exit visa, so I haven't been able to book the ticket yet.
I guess I have 2 questions. Which city am I most likely to find a half decent job just walking into schools, PP or SR? So I can fly into the other one. I'm far more interested in a nice relaxed job and relaxed place to live than the highest paying one.
My second question more pertinent to this forum section though is does anyone have any recommendations on short term accommodation? I don't want to rush into renting an apartment until I've secured a job and know which city I'll be settling in. And also I want to ride up to Battambang and look for work first too, I've heard nothing but good things about that place. I'm just looking for somewhere cheap I can rent on a daily or even weekly basis and leave my bags while I ride around looking for a job. I don't care about the quality(can't think of a better word at the moment) of the place. Don't care if it's shared rooms, not super clean and doesn't have comfortable beds etc. All I care about is they have somewhere safe for me to store my things that won't get stolen, wifi, and a bed. I won't spend much time in the room I just don't want to haul my luggage around on a motorbike.
