I'll divide it in 2 I suppose....

Where I'm From {Originally}
I was raised in the Metro area of Puerto Rico...
I say Metro because there's a huge difference between "Metro" and "Isla"..Metro ppl by "Isla" standards are hood rats, mannerless oafs..."Isla" folks on the other hand, by Metro folks are a mix between stuck-up, disconnected and uneducated...
But, when the nitty-gritty comes along..say Christmas, or Politics, everyone's a "brother"[if you share the same political belief]....
Tourists are stuck in the Popular "edge" of the Island, the excessively expensive Show...You have to dig deeper for the Real Deal [btw, leave the Piña Coladas & straw hats in your hotel, trust me, you'll thank me l8tr]...
I miss the astonishingly impressive decorations entire Neighborhoods will set up to compete with other 'hoods, or just to look real Nice...
The "Parrandas" or "Trullas" always were my favorite part of the Holiday, a group of friends will wait until youre almost asleep...random day[close to X-Mas] and they'll start making Musical Noise or sing traditional songs until you give in and let them in....
The further from Metro, the more elaborate or traditional the food...
In Summer, it can be very very warm 95 and kinda breeze...or by Puerto Rican standard, Cold... 65 and windy or rainy...
Locals know when it's a good idea, or a stupid idea to visit the Beaches[ Seaweed, jellyfish, cold water, riptides...sharks]
During Rainy Season, kids ..depending on the age...would wear certain clothes, and run around in the rain playing...
Both Public & Private schools mandate Uniforms..so school year is usually Peppered with Uniformed youth... some High Schools have rivalries .
I miss it all..the Music, the People, the views & especially the FOOD...

Where I'm from [Currently]
It's a tree-hugging, Vegan, Locavore Orgasm....
It caters to students, in Everything..
Medical, entertainment, LGBTQ, Sports...
All for the students..
When most students leave and the foreign exchange stay, it's almost a ghost Town, everything is incredibly Slow, closes early, and it's really...sleepytown-esque...When Students start coming back, you can definitely tell...
We have more Coffeehouses than grocery stores..so I have my pick of the crop when I wanna ppl*ahem, lez* watch{I think there's a TeaHaus too}..
Halloween is a HUGE event here..They plan it year round..reminds me of nightmare before Christmas, I kid u not...
Students from other Universities arrive in Buses just for this...
When it's over, they tabulate costs, Bitch about it...and Start over...
Because of the variety of people here..
Prejudice is not felt much in Athens..
There should be more ecclectic restaurants, but there's not much..
I think it was one of maybe 2 Blue Counties during the Dubya Race...
And Michael Moore visited us...as did Clinton....
It was very...Amusing... during the Obama vs Clinton voting...
Some people had both signs side by side...same house...
It seldom snows..but when it wants to..it does...
Bad weather doesn't hit much..but we get our share..
Pollen gets really high here...
And Foliage is Gorgeous...
