I have installed and supported mainframes all over the world, all over Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Middle East, South America, USA, and even in Iceland, Greenland and the South (and almost-north) Poles and I don't really understand the question I guess. The installation and support is almost identical. The users are obviously using them differently, but in general they are quite similar. Were you expecting something "odd" with non-US mainframe users or sites? Do they speak other languages, yes, does it matter to the mainframe, not really. What differences are you looking for? I mostly see similarities, and maybe I'm just looking beyond differences to see them, but I probably need more information on what you're looking for to be able to respond better.
