Things you learn quickly: soda is heavy, and you stop buying it so that you can carry home soup or fruit, which can be heavy. You buy more vegetables and breads and lighter things.
I hardly, hardly drink soda anymore. If I do buy a six pack of diet coke, they sell "half cans" here. It makes you ration half a coke for whenever you would have a regular can. Now, I can't drink a whole can. All I drink is water, or orange juice (except for when I go out) and a half diet coke is seen as a treat :). It makes you a lot less dependent on caffeine, and is obviously better for you :)
I need to call relatives like crazy. Seriously. Even just my sister.
