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 <em>had to stay</em> in Cambodia for so long, but It wasn't a waste, I <em>like </em>it and <em>it's benefits to me</em>, but I'm glad to come back.
I <em>had to stay</em> 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 <em>like </em>it - > tense confusion -> I liked it
<em>it's benefits to me</em>, -> 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?
