It can be as different as night and day

Depending on where you live will be what you experience in your life. Sometimes you live where it is very cold and you learn how to adapt to the cold. Likewise those living where it is hot or dry or rainy learn to adapt. The differences from place to place makes all the difference in the world on what you will have to do to make your life the best it can be.  Heck even if you never live in but one town your whole life you will have to adapt to the changes that naturally occur over time. As you grow older you will learn that even if you don't like the way things keep changing you better adapt as they change. Because like it or not that's just how things are going to be. And it's important to get done what you need and to do that you will have to know what has changed so you will know how to get it done. How things worked in the past won't work today. Things may be different for someone else so what works for you may not work for them and visa versa. Like they say, different strokes for different folks.
