The first thing I saw when the bus entered the city perimeter, were the incredibly beautiful, extensive ruins behind the Monumental Arch. As soon as I got out of the bus, I was approached by a man who asked if I was looking for a place to stay. I said I was going to the Orient Hotel, which had been recommended by many. He made up some story about the Orient, and suggested to come and check out his place first, the Citadel Hotel. Thinking by myself that looking doesn't cost anything, I decided to take up his offer.
