I spent five months in Phnom Penh, from March to August. A week ago, I returned to Vietnam from Cambodia. I never thought that I had to stay in Cambodia for so long, but It wasn't a waste, I like it and it's benefits to me, but I'm glad to come back.

I had to stay in -> was there an obligation for you to stay? then -> I would have to stay.

no obligation? ->I would stay **this is a second conditional sentence**

I like it - > tense confusion -> I liked it

it's benefits to me, -> benefit is a noun -> it was beneficial to me


PS I've been to Phnom Penh and really loved it. What were you doing there?
