First day I'd just roam around and take note. What looks interesting, where should I avoid, where are the local attractions, ect. Explore.

Just like in an open-world RPG, I would walk around and explore aimlessly. Minus the killing and looting of course :p. I can't make any promises for the dialogue though >_>.

Google maps. Why would I put on pants when I can get a 360 view that a specialized van takes down every road ever?

I mean...

I find the nearest field and build a mud hut. Then I have to wait inside to hide from the creepers because that took all day.

I mean...

I don't panic, make sure I still have my towel, pocket my electronic thumb, and research the place bit in the Guide.

Aimless wandering FTW!

If the city has a commuter train, I'd probably spend a day or two exploring the area around all the stations I can cover.

Probably drive around, visit some stores. Making friends at work seems to be the safe route though. Wandering around in a new city/town is lonely as hell on your own.

To The PUB!

I went bar first, but finding a few friends through work is probably tied with it in my eyes

I haven't moved for a loooong time.

If I do...

The first thing I would do is.

- Learn my workplace location.
- Learn my home location.
- Learn where the hell is the nearest gameshop.
- Find out where the nearest shopping market is.
- Find out where I can get manga, anime and figures.

Pretty much good enough. Oh I would also see if any Escapists live in the area. ^_^

I enjoy exploring my surroundings and making a note of certain places to revisit in the future. When I make friends with the locals, I often ask about these places and they would recommend me to places I might enjoy.

After I have unpacked. Got shopping etc. I would do nothing until my first day at work. I would make friends there and ask them what's fun to do.

The RAF moves me quite often... usually to somewhere where I don't know anyone... so I am used to this!

I will usually go to the bar in the Mess and talk to random people... this is how I will meet people... Then, on my first weekend hanging around, I will check out the local town on my own, and normally go for a walk in the area to get my bearings...

Finally I use the people I have met at work and in the mess to reccomend me things to do, or to come with me!

I travel the UK quite often too, to see people in different areas, so quite often see new places and spend time with them as visitors!

I tend to do the exploring before the moving, and get all excited about it.
But when i do move in, I am back on the internet as usual or busy decorating my home.

get a friend at work, which then will lead to a bar and from there potentially to community events

Wandering aimlessly around a place you've never been has the benefit of letting you form less biased interpretations and analyses about everything and get the general feel of the area.

Having just moved to the middle of nowhere my social interaction has been almost exclusively online since there is nobody around for miles.

None of the above. I search for whatever martial arts clubs may be in town (with a preference for kickboxing), and then I search for my nearest grocery store, and whatever other shopping places might be of interest to me. And then later on, I try to map out a running route near my house.
