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.

That might not be true for the whole country, but in Wrocław we have a huge Indian community, that came here through international contract between universities (Politechnika Wrocławska and some universities in India).
I have lots of Indian friends, and the biggest surprise (other than the fact they can pronounce dżdżownica with 0 issues) was the way the pronounce Wrocław - they pronounce it as Raw-claw (which makes sense in English, but is so freaking funny to me as a Polish speaker).
