And, what I have learned is that our un conscious picks up far more than we give it credit for, so losing that automated process is very, very costly.
Is that the conscious, then? Or is it our whole being just breathing it out?

In general, I'd say scrap the expectations and plans and roll with the opportunities to gain natural understanding as it flows to you. Relaxed state of mind has brought me the best experiences in new environment.
That is the challenge, because "rolling with it" requires far more action in the background than we give credit, and I don't have much of that background :D
In any case, just act "natural". But not too natural. No peeing in the Ficus pot.
