New immigrants should do as Romans do?

As fas as I know, there is a lot of immigrants move from their hometown to the other countries.

If the new immigrants know the local culture , it may helpful for them to communciate with the local people. That is , it is more easily   for them to cooperate with the local people to do some business. That...
