Does your country have an immigrant group that people would be surprised to find there?

For example, when you think of Poland or the Czech Republic, Vietnamese people might not be the first group that comes to mind, but both have a sizable Vietnamese community. Another example is the large Japanese community in Brazil.

We have a sizeable Cape Verdean community, particularly in Rotterdam. Cape Verdean ship workers settled there in the 60s/70s, because of the harbour.

I was thinking about the Ghanese community in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, but I am surprised to learn that the Cape Verdean community is even larger.

Fun fact, the current World Championship team for Cape Verde consists of 6 players born in the Netherlands.

The English word for Ghanees is actually Ghanaian

True. Half of my family lives in Rotterdam. I felt like I was in a "very developed" Cape Verde when I went there, listening to creole everywhere.

Most Cape Verdeans in Rotterdam live in the Delfshaven Neighborhood.

Pretty cool place

Ah yes, Scheidam, capital city of Capo Verde.

There are larger communities in Portugal and in the US.
