As a foreigner who had to adapt to a new environment in this country, I have to
generally agree with the arguments so far presented about the ability, if not
necesity, to be malleable when living in a different culture than your own.
There were a lot of things I missed about my country (Brazil) when I first moved
here, and to some extent I still do, but I've learned to get by without them by
adapting, and most of all, accepting the way things are done in this country.
Invariably, I've found that the coin flips both ways. Not only do Americans have
a hard time adapting to overseas living, but foreigners have their problems with
living in the USA, too. It basically boils down to making the best out of what 
you have to live with.
			      
			      Yours truly, BIG DAVE.
