Let me explain it as it was explained to me when I lived outside my home country when I was young.
When you travel or live abroad you are a guest. You should be on your best manners as you would if you were in the home of a stranger who invited you over. Further, you are an unofficial diplomat for your home country and should act with that in mind for as long as you are there. Don’t insist your culture, your language or your sense of entitlement upon your hosts.
