1) Bring things that remind you of home, whether that is a blanket, favorite slippers, sweater, pictures. It doesn't matter what it is, if you can fit it in a suitcase or have it shipped, bring it.
2) Bring converters and a lot of them. Or be sure to find a bunch when you get here.
3) Put your head in an oven and drench your head in water, that is what it will feel like when you walk outside.
4) Don't just shuttle yourself from your compound to work to Carrefour.
5) Talk to as many people as possible. Don't be shy, pretty much everyone is a newbie. Even some of the people who seem like seasoned pros have only been here for a few months. If you always wanted to learn how to go horseback riding, ask around and find out where to ride.
