Congrats on your first assignment. Expect to feel a lot of mixed emotions at first, from "What have I done?" to "why didn't I do this years ago?".

At your new job, ask lots of questions, but absolutely erase from your vocabulary the line "Where I came from we always...." Instead ask "How do you do it here?" and do it their way!

Enjoy your days off - see all the sights, buy a local map and go explore. I like to ask my coworkers "What's fun to do in your area that most tourists don't see?" I've found a lot of great places this way, and frequently someone will volunteer to do thes things with me.
