I think it's perfectly normal for people not to change their behaviour, and I've got absolutely no problem with it. Cultural background is an important part of a person's identity, and not everyone has an easy time of learning new languages. It doesn't hurt me if they live that way, so I've got no reason to care. I don't want to live in a single-culture society.
Acting as if you own a place and forcing people to live how you want is always unacceptable no matter what the reason.
While I think you are right in certain way, I do believe that people must adapt when they are abroad. I don't think they should change their beliefs or their personality, just act in an acceptable way. I do appreciate when people bring a little of their culture to a new land, but you have to understand that local people expect to feel "at home" on their own land.
I don't think a handful of people who do not embrace local culture are enough to stop anyone from feeling at home. I think everyone should try to be appropriately polite, but I think other people should also show a degree of leniency and forgiveness.
IIN for people not to adapt to the local culture while abroad?
