    to me, it makes more sense to unclip on the right because there's usually a curb for me to put my foot on.

    I would strongly suggest you take your bike, pedals and shoes back to the LBS where you purchased the pedals. They should willingly install the pedals and cleats for you. Also, have them put you on a trainer and talk you through the whole process of clipping in/out. I do this with every customer that wants to learn about their pedals. Some customers just want to do it all themselves, but I still offer the service - actually I have all of my employees do this for any customer.
    I agree. Rather than figuring it out yourself, messing up with your cleat placement and the tension of the cleats, just take it to the LBS. They should give you some great advice as well.

    What are curbs? (I live in the rural countryside.)

    I still unclip on the right, tho...just force of habit. Rode a tandem for years with DH captaining, and since he unclipped on the right, that's what I learned to do.
