Well, since we cannot experience time when we don't exist maybe this is what happens, you either get reborn with another consciousness or experience your life all over again with slight changes, or maybe exactly as you experienced it before...
I speak spanish and one of the first cultural shocks I had was when I as a kid saw an episode of some sitcom (can't remember) and there where talks of a "spelling bee" a contest to see who could spell correctly, that was so alien to at the time because in spanish there are just a few words that are tricky, because they have some silent H or a P at the beginning but then I started to learn english and it all made sense.
Highschool used to start at 7:00 for me. Then I got into college and I could make my own schedule, so I picked a lot of afternoon classes, it was awesome.
I traveled with my wife from Paris/Beauvais to Treviso in one of those Ryanair cheap flights and, yeah they're pretty shitty but we got to sit together and didn't have any issues.
Pretty much, even though its voluntary, and that is why I don't give any money (I'm catholic BTW)
