That's like driving left hand drive and right hand drive vehicles on the right hand or left hand side of the road. Having spent quite a few years doing both, it doesn't take long to adjust again. When first learning how, there were a few glitches.

Typical things:

Wake in the morning, no cars on the road, start driving, soon wonder why the approaching car is on the wrong side of the road, suddenly realize they are on the RIGHT side of the road which is the left side of the road in that country.

Round a roundabout the wrong way.

Turn into a two way street from a one way street and go onto the wrong side of the road [I did that one and failed a driving test].

When walking, expecting cars to approach from one direction but they suddenly arrive from the other. I look in all directions these days because if a vehicle can be somewhere, one day it will be, including up on the footpath.

Turning on the windscreen wipers to indicate left, or right.

Getting into the passenger's seat and wondering what happened to the steering wheel.
