I've been here in Cambodia for two days and this is what I have learned so far:
1. It is okay to spend the first night alone in a city that you were never meant to be in. It will give you time to rest, to collect your thoughts and to be more thankful for friendly faces.
2. Two out of three hitchhiking experiences are going to work out just fine. So if you're still in good shape after the second, walk the rest of the way.
3. On that note: It is okay to have an moment of fear when getting into a car with a stranger. Just don't be an asshole and realize that people, just like you, want to do good in the world. Even if it is by the smallest measure. Make small talk.
4. If you want electronics charged, electrocution comes with the price (and no wiping your feet to make sure they are dry does not help).
5. Drink more water than you can stomach. I cannot reiterate this enough.
6. You're going to miss home more than you originally thought and that is okay too.
