I find it important to add a remark to your big and informative post. I too obtained my PPL in the US and have started flying in Switzerland now.

In Florida all your tracks are straight and in switzerland there are big 15 thousand feet mountains and elevations everywhere that force the pilot to follow a feature (such as a valley or road) instead of using timers and headings like we do on the US, I even was forbidden in my course to featurecrawl... here it's the rule.

If the geography of your home country is different than that of the US then you'll need a couple of flights to get you up to speed.
