The Diet

Now that we have sort of come adjusted to the parts the city around our hostel, we are able to venture out to places known to us as Prodoukty( im sorry about the spelling). Anyways, these are the equilviant of a small grocery store back in the states. Every five days we are given a certain amount of cash for which we are supposed to spend on groceries and or our choice of food( ie small kiosk, or coffee house) sometimes this is not the case. Learning how to budget was one of the quickest skills I have come to learn in this foreign country. Spending the time and patience in these stores ultimatley decides what you are going to be eating at the beginning, middle or end of the day. Knowing the exchange rate is critical , for it allows you to shop for better foods at low prices( Walmart slogan anyone??). This brings me to my final point, which is obtainig a proper and healthy diet while spending time abroad. Having one is key to enjoyng ones time, not having one can lead to stomach craps, crankiness, contanst headaches and a feeling of regret towards why didnt I buy that or eat this in the first place? So these are my wise words of wisdom, when traveling abroad, make sure to establish a solid diet, for it can ultimately decide how your trip shall play out.
