Noob with new XE-1 with kit lens; tips on night shooting.

I had my XE-1 now for a week and have been practicing taking pictures with the kit lens.  It's the best digital camera I used to date.  I have not purchased any of the primes yet because I am new to the Fuji and new to photography in general; I figured I can take my time and play around with the kit lens until I feel more comfortable.

I was wondering if anyone can give me tips on taking night shots with the kit lens only, 18-55mm; like what settings to use, what aperture set to and the shutter speed.  I search around the forum for night shots with the XE-1 but most of them are using the 35mm.

I am really digging the XE-1 and think Fuji has created a home run product; I can't wait until I get better with it and start building my lens collection.
