When I was studying abroad I was asked all the time what it was like to live in The States, and I always had to explain how different each state was from even its neighboring states. So I pretty much told everyone that what they were really asking was "whats is it like to live in your region," and that I didn't know what it was like to live in California or Texas (I image that its noticeably different). Its really interesting vising a country where everyone is so similar no matter what city you visit. It would be wired not having that city/state rivalry I'm used to.
