  As for this question, I guess it is depending on each person's background.   People from the country where the weather or climate is stable prefer living in such kind of weather condition.  However my country, Japan has four seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter and I am used to such climate change.  Therefore, I prefer to live in the place whose weather or climate changes several times.
 
  First of all, feeling climate is changing from my daily life is very natural for me because as I mentioned already, I was born and risen in Japan.   Changing climate or weather brings residents' life style which is enjoyable for those who are used to living in the place.  
  
   For instance, in spring we enjoy seeing various kinds of flowers or blossoms.  Among them cherry blossoms are special for we Japanese.   We usually enjoy eating lunch or dinner under cherry trees with our family members, frineds, and coworkers. 
   
   In summer we enjoy swimming or go champing and in nature,  we can touch deep green or wonderful marine creatures.  When I was a college student, diving became wonderful experience for me although it was the only once experience and I did not go to tropical area like Okinawa, where tropical fishes such as angel fishes would entertain us, but Chiba prefecture.  
 
  Seeing autumn mountains are also enjoyable.  There are lots of color variations from  famous red or crimson,  bright yellow to deep purple as if mountains wore colorful dresses that changes day by day.  
 
   In winter, snow freaks freeze us, but it makes scenery beautiful.  Then, warm rooms welcome us; we can enjoy talking with others besides stove or air conditioner.  Cold weather rather increase the comfort of staying at home.  Moreover several winter sports are very fun.  In this way, we can enjoy each season depending on each seasons. 
 
In the time between seasons, we can look forward to preparing the next seasons.  Because of the fascination of several fun of seasons, I would like to live in the place where the weather or climates changes several times.
