I find nothing wrong to keep one's values, tradition, culture etc when in foreign lands.
However, one should be sensitive to the host country's culture, traditions and values too!
One should not flaunt and thrust one's way of life like a red rag into the face of the host country chaps, unless one is asking for trouble.
And if one feels that one cannot accommodate the host country's ways, then one should not even go there and if one has gone, one should return.
To be frank, one leaves his country for economic gains i.e. personal interests. Therefore, if one does not find one's own country capable of giving one what one wants, then one should go with all humility and stay there with grace and not raise a hornet's nest and bring hatred for his countrymen as a mass, who have not even gone to those lands because they know that they would not be really welcomed in a true friendly fashion.
