1. Embrace the local language – it will not only make life easier for you, but also help you understand what learning a language is like.
2. Get yourself orientated with your local surroundings.
3. Try the local food and you’re bound to find a favourite that you’ll be longing for when you leave!
4. Make friends with expats especially for comfort when you’re feeling a bit homesick, and with locals for authentic experiences and unforgettable memories.
5. Learn their driving techniques so as to half predict what might happen next!
