How long does it take yall to adapt to a new location? How long does it take you to REALLY know your place? You can say it could be a lifetime for you to really truly understand the aspect of where you live. But just in general terms, it usually takes me about 2 years to actually get the feel of a new city. I been living in Davis for nearly two years now, and I can say I am starting to get use to the place, but there's still some little aspects that I'm still unfamiliar with.

Depends how frequent of a driver I am... All I need to know are all the streets around my area as well as the plazas. Normally takes about a good month or two. |

Usually that would take me couple weeks. But I'm talking about like the culture of the city, or the people and the environment as a whole. I'm trying to apply cultural anthropology here, but I can't explain it very well. |

The only difference is... you either live in the ghetto, you live in the suburbs, or you live in the high class suburbs. Classism is what makes the difference between regions. Other than that... maybe difference in accent? There's some locations out there that are still ethnically together. Chinese neighborhoods, Black neighborhoods, White neighborhoods, Hispanic etc... |
