Automatic's are a piece of cake to get used to....
Advice - Drive on the Right.
Otherwise, just follow the herd and you'll get the hang of things - it's easier than you think. Just the 4-ways that take getting used to. It's a crossroads and basically whoever gets their 1st gets right of way.

Have fun.
