FAQ: How can I stay hydrated?
\xa0
From my personal experience, I needed help with this in Southeast Asia. The climate was so different from Southern California, where I live. I had to adjust my body to these climate conditions. I had to be very aware of my intake of liquids and not drink much if any, caffeine.
I am not a medical doctor, but here\u2019s what I learned. Rest during the day. Swim if you can. Keep your body cool and do it early in the morning if you must go out.
I had to respect my kidneys as they filtered all of this water.
I had to monitor the color of my urine to try to keep it clear in color.

Today\u2019s destination: Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th\u201315th centuries. Angkor\u2019s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple pictured on Cambodia\u2019s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.

The capital is Phnom Penh. Listen for the earlier episode on that city.

I arrived by bus and immediately rode to the Backpacker\u2019s Chill Hostel. My tuk-tuk driver was named Nuk, and he was reliable. He brought me to all of the places I needed to see. Ask for him if you go there because he could use the business.
What are some of the things that I did? The first was the temple, Angkor Wat. I went at sunrise, meaning I had to get the ticket first. So, he knew where to get the ticket and how to navigate the complicated process, making it easy.
Then we drove to the temples, which will take a full day. It\u2019s so hot, you should go early. It was raining, but still very humid. Bring an umbrella for the sun. Limit your outdoor activities besides swimming.

Angkor Wat reminded me of Disney in some ways, but this was REAL. It was from 1000 years ago. The temple is huge and not crowded like Disneyland.
