Finding a physical SIM card in Long Xuyen

I arrived in Long Xuyen from Cambodia today. I spent most of the time trying to find a tourist sim, but I arrived fairly late in the day, so not every store was open. But all of the stores that were open did not offer to tourists. Because I don't have data, I can't exactly research where to go next when one store doesn't work out. Which shops would be my best bet to find something?

Also, for all you eSim fans, my phone is old. I can't use them.

How to get over the loss of material items

I'm traveling right now and due to the ineptitude of the ferry company I used, I was never given my luggage back for the trip I was on. I brought a few of my favorite shirts, and bought a few cool souvenirs, all have now probably been lost.

Thinking about it, I was reminded of the fact that I lost my favorite hat in an airport a few years ago. And how I still get a little sad over the loss of a hat. But this loss is that times 10.

Advice on how to get over this? It's all material stuff, so in the grand scheme of things it's not the biggest deal. But I'm still very upset about it! I had a bunch of cool shit in that suitcase that I was hyped about. Now it's just, gone.

And yes, I have learned my lesson. Put a tracker in my luggage.

Lost luggage on koh Rong ferry. What should I do?

I just got off the ferry in koh Rong. While they were throwing everyone's luggage out of storage, I never saw mine being taken out. Now, the boat has sailed away with my luggage. What should I do? I'm waiting by the pier rn, incredibly frustrated since all my important stuff was in that bag.

Before anyone says "ask an employee", they could not give less of a shit about me considering they just ignored me whenever I asked for help (using a translator).

I'm from Arizona, have lived there my entire life. I fucking hate it. I have never liked living here. I love actual winters, hate it when it gets above 90°and overall I just find Phoenix to be a miserable city. I'm on vacation right now and am actively dreading coming back.

I have always struggled to find a full time job. I graduated college 3 years ago (business degree) and genuinely the only jobs that give me a shot are shitty commission 1099 jobs. I just want a solid salary, none of this hustle bullshit. My bad luck with full time jobs and hatred of Arizona are the main reasons I'm considering this path. I can actually live in the city, try to apply, put myself out there and try to secure a job while I'm volunteering.

I'm planning on staying in the USA for this plan. I don't want to deal with the immigration process. I have a few states and cities I'd be interested in. But I'd have to do actual research on openings around the country before I made the jump.

Any advice on using workaways as a way to move would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently in Vietnam, but will be in Cambodia in a few days. The roads in Laos were actual hell and some of the roads in Vietnam have been kicking my ass. My motion sickness has never felt worse.

How good are the roads in Cambodia compared to Vietnam? As of right now, my planned route is Siem Reap to Phnom Penh to Koh Rong to Kampot.

I have spent the last hour in my hostel trying to use a hair dryer to dry off my shoes. It poured rain yesterday, and I did not realize how awful my shoes were for the rain since I'm from Arizona. I have fairly big feet and I also pack very lightly, so I can only bring one pair of shoes while traveling. And it's the pair I wear all the time.

What would y'all recommend? Also I'm asking for future reference, I am currently in Vietnam and tried looking for a new pair yesterday, and the largest pair I found was still 2 sizes too small. I'm looking for something that would be good in all, or most adverse conditions.
