Good question.
Mostly the issue was layout, what to expect in terms of traffic behaviour and that there are more 2+ lane roads here. This all took a little more thought at first. Prior to regular riding here, I had actually become quite accustomed to driving on US roads - in LA no less- but had little opportunity to ride. The left to right change does not bother me at all, I'm comfortable with either convention and use US and UK roads on a reasonably regular basis.
