I basically grew up in Zurich. This city has a lot to offer, a good way to get used to life here is to get to know the city first. I would recommend to get a Zurich map from

alacartemaps.com

The map is very compact, and all the important touristic sights are on it plus lots of really cool insider tips from locals. They have even marked one of my favourite restaurants "Beyond" which all sinologists know of. Really great map, I got one as well and I use it to show my friends around whenever they visit.

It's worth to check it out. Not expensive either!
