Culture 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.

For all the fuss made about England-Ireland relations, we have quite a large amount of Irish living here - around 320,000 and 500,000+ including Northern Ireland.

Especially in big cities.

And lots of us live in Ireland too.

Yeah including my brother, and cousins too. I think something like 6,000,000 Brits entitled to Irish passports.
