Its the hotest time of the year here in Cambodia. I thought I could deal but I clearly can't. +40 feels like 45, it's just like living in a sauna. I feel like a useless sweaty slob all day, and avoiding editing the vlog just because my computer gets hot. Visiting Angkor tomorrow will be hell. Can't believe I m going to do it "for the check mark" in a way because I'm pretty sure it won't be enjoyable. Do they sell cold water there? Urgh, considering skipping visiting Cambodia (we were planning to stay a month) and getting a longer visa for Vietnam. Temperature is bearable in the North in Hanoi I've heard...
I'm sorry to hear that the heat is ruining your trip. Do you have a freezer in your hotel room? If so, buy some fresh fruit, cut it up, and freeze it. It's quite the treat on a hot day and helps a little with keeping you hydrated and full of vitamins.
Mostly taking a showers like 3 times a day and making up excuses to go walk around the convenience store with good AC... Saw some people biking in Angkor today! I was sweating buckets just walking around the temples and getting tuktuk rides. I guess some people can deal better ( or they're just verry cheap/ crazy). I mean damn, that place is like 400 km2 and it was murder under the sun!
