Reverse Culture Shock: temperature

It's only been 48 hours and we are suffering from dry skin and chapped lips.  One of our first purchases has been lip balm!
That too, was a culture shock.  We went clothes shopping and I could handle that - probably because we desperately needed some items to wear!  But then we went to the supermarket and I felt rather overwhelmed.  None of the brands are what I am used to, there is so much choice for everything and I cannot get a grip on prices or what is a reasonable baseline for products.
Plus, I am unsure how much tiredness is from jet-lag and how much from dengue.  I am finding it hard to be disciplined in doing as little as possible.
