If you grow up somewhere, the culture of that place stays with you forever. Childhood is the formative time for our personalities, ways of thinking, preferences and much more. The country you grow up in is, for many people, an inseparable part of your identity. People emigrate for a variety of reasons but I suspect two factors cover the majority of reasons: (1) for better opportunities, and (2) for new experiences. Neither of these reasons mean that you don't like the country you originally resided in. Emigrating usually just means that you believe you can build a better life elsewhere.
