View Full Version : Vietnamese communities in CE ;-)
garriochio September 6th, 2007, 12:32 AM Do you have Vietnamese in Czech Rep., Hungary and Slovakia? Afaik you do - more 'per capita' than Poland. I heard of a number of about 50 000 in Poland as a whole - half of which in warsaw- I live in Warsaw and can tell myself there are a lot of them (but you can easily spot them cause Poland is homogenous contrary to i.e London - there are no foreigners in Poland compared to london for instance ;) ) :cheers: :cheers: :banana:
garriochio September 6th, 2007, 12:35 AM They sell their food in bars - kucak słodko-kwasnaaaaa!!!! Rozkosz smaku gwarantowany :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: they speak funny Polish (if ever) but I like them - ecspecially chicks ;)
Norkey September 6th, 2007, 01:18 AM heh... what a hell...?
In fact, i like Vietnamese culture and their way how they live and work. It is something different than gypsies (roma, cigans or however all they are being called..). I know few of them, and I think we have important Vietnamese comunity as Hungarians have Mongols, Slovaks have gypsies and you Polish have some ukrainians maybe?? :) For example: Small village somewhere in the middle of nowhere has small local shop, which was owned by czechs. They closed it because it wasn't proffitable. Then the vietnamese come, they have opening hours from 06:30 to 21:00 and everything seems to be ok. Local drukards drink beer in the opposite park as before...

tersyxus September 6th, 2007, 01:28 AM Well, as for Budapest, which might be more cosmopolitan than Warsaw, we've got almost 100.000 from Southeast Asia, according to reports. This figure is a bit far-fetched but could be real for the whole country perhaps. I'm too crazy to distinguish all type of them :) but there you can find a lot of them on the streets. They like sticking together in Budapest, there are typical areas where they tend to move in. Most of them live in the capital but you can hardly find a city in Hungary that has no "Chinese" shop or boutique near the centre.
They've been moving here constantly since the late 60s (because of the war, I suppose) and there was a great migration boom after the change of the regime in the 90s. I've heard a couple of stories about Vietnamese who came here to study at our universities in the 70s and 80s. Those students were extremely hard-working and clever, everybody says so.
I've got no problems with them, I've got even few friends from the Far East. All I don't really stand is the filthy piggery they do around open-air markets and fast-restaurants...

Norkey September 6th, 2007, 01:43 AM ^^ well, in czech towns they has already moved to "stone shops." Cheap goods in public markets was mainly in 90s, now they often more quality goods and resides on the good adresses (with some exceptions as tourist targets in german borderland - Hřensko, Cheb with thousands of souvenir stands). Me personally, I prefer luxurious goods from C&A and others, but some retirees and low-class wealth citizens love this:)
paku September 6th, 2007, 02:03 AM Here is an article on Vietnamese diaspora around the world, quote focusing on Poland and Czech Republic, no mention about Hungary.
Poland
Probably more than 50 000 Vietnamese live in Poland, mostly in big cities, the majority of them illegally.[citation needed] They publish a number of newspapers, both pro- and anti-Communist. Only some of them belong to three organizations.
Czech Republic
Main article: Vietnamese Czechs
Many Vietnamese immigrants in the Czech Republic reside in Prague. There is an enclave called "Little Hanoi", named after the capital city Hanoi of Vietnam. Unlike Vietnamese immigrants in Western Europe and the United States, these immigrants were usually communist cadres studying or working abroad who decided to stay after the collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
The number of Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic is estimated at between 40,000[3] and 80,000.[4]

VelesHomais September 6th, 2007, 02:21 AM If you're interested, there are 200,000 immigrants from Asia and Africa in Ukraine, mainly Vietnamese. Article about them

bullshit Czech rep. got a lot of gypies too...and dont start of comming them from Slovakia...A lot of them was born in Czech rep. and YOur governement refuse after 1993 separation give them Czech rep. nationality...I think YOU didnt know that...or some of Gypsies lived in Czech rep. 20-30-40 years and after 1993 still had Slovakian nationality....
and just in case I dont have agains gypsies nothing really is people like anybody else ....Just imagine YOU live in Germany and after 40 year working and living there they refuse give YOU German nationality...and thats WRONG
Yeah Im really tired from fucking rasists...
Yeah and Vietmamese how many of them pay legaly taxes for their bussines and buying good from Slave East ...Thaiwan child labor and how many import expired meat(other food and goods) from China and around and how many of them beating or working accidents others illegal Vietnameses in Czech rep and how many can afford to visit Doctor(case of illegal Vietnam, Ukraine workers)
Slovakia
We have also Big community of Vietnamese from time of Comunism friendship between East and Us.

I didn't know that so many Ukrainians were going to Czechia. Are they there permanently or just working for a short period of time? If permanently, do they integrate fast (because of similar language, culture etc.) ? Where are they in terms of financial status among all immigrants? How do Czechs view them? How much might immigrants be earning in Czechia (sorry for so many questions :) )?
I heard something about criminals leaving for Czechia when police cracked down on the mafia in the late 1990's in Ukraine, though that probably was an insignificant percentage among others.
Marek.kvackaj September 6th, 2007, 03:05 AM I found that in Slovakia is also Albanian comunity...

HiRazor September 6th, 2007, 10:37 AM Im suprised that Slovaks is in Czech rep. only 60 000
Keep in mind these numbers 1/ comprise only LEGAL foreigners living in the Czech republic. Therefore the real numbers are much higher, especially for Ukrainians, Vietnamese and the likes. 2/ do not include long term foreign residents who have become czech CITIZENS already. In 2001 there was like 200.000 czechs of slovak ethnicity and also a growing number of ukraininan and vietnamese (source (http://www.czso.cz/csu/2006edicniplan.nsf/t/3D00461C99/$File/4032060117.pdf)). And 3/ last but not least the number doesnt include "PENDLERS". Foreign workers from neighbouring countries who dont have Czech republic as their place of residence (at least officialy). Roughly 100.000 Slovaks were legally employed in the Czech republic in 2007 (source (http://portal.mpsv.cz/sz/stat/zam_ciz_stat_prisl/cvc_2007/cizinci_dle_statu#Celkem)).
alesmarv September 6th, 2007, 12:22 PM I always find the opinions of locals in central and eastern Europe regarding foreigners, specifically other races hilarious. Not that anyone here has said anything absurd, but in general people know almost nothing about foreigners such as Vietnamese in these countries. I say this being a Czech who has spent a majority of my life living in a somewhat multicultural city, according to the UN one of the 3 most multicultural cities in the world. So I have a bit of a different view. I visit the Czech republic often, and in fact just last Sunday my cousin from Ceske Budejovice left after 5 months who I talked allot with about the Vietnamese, multiculturalism (which there is almost none of), and the treatment of foreigners in the Czech republic. Last time I was also in the Czech republic one of the best conversations I had in 2 months was with two Vietnamese students/workers who worked their asses of yet were treated like crap.
In any case in two days i am going on a date with a Korean girl, and the last three diners I had were all Pho or Vermaceli at a Vietnamese Restaurant...something that is non existent in central Europe along with any other Asian, Chinese, Indian, African, middle eastern or Japanese restaurants(I only know of two Sushi restaurant for example that are both in Prague and are overpriced and poor quality, regarding Chinese restaurants there are none that I have ever seen...remember that just because its called Chinese doesn't mean it is anything remotely similar to Chinese food...its always just messed up ways of cooking versions of Czech food with rice on the side).
Hopefully i am not coming across wrong but just trying to make the point that embracing other cultures, treating them with the same respect that they treat you with has its benefits...Also trying to point out that in general this doesn't happen in Central Europe and that there is barely any other cultural influences present such as food, entertainment, shopping, goods etc.
Infinite September 6th, 2007, 12:58 PM I prefer luxurious goods from C&A
Hehe C&A is definitely a very luxurious brand! :))))
alesmarv: I have a little hard time trying to understand what the hell are you talking about. Obviously, you posses no real daily life contact with your long-alienated homeland, otherwise you wouldn't be babbling such bullshit. Of course in the capitals of our countries the life is cosmopolitan to a certain extent - it is naturally no London or NY but what you described is complete nonsense. I'm not even going to comment your part on the supposedly non-existent asian cuisine in central europe.
Norkey September 6th, 2007, 01:37 PM I only know of two Sushi restaurant for example that are both in Prague and are overpriced and poor quality
I know some excellent places in Liberec or Hradec, quality is quite good here and it isn't overpriced. Hradec had luxurious asian restaurants when in Prague you thought McDonald come from Hollywood studios.. :) In every small city there is an asian restaurant, I like especially one in town Turnov (for 15k inhabitants, there are not less than three I guess).. but you're right, we don't have any african restaurants for example, because our history isn't history of colonialism and exploitation of natives:)
Hehe C&A is definitely a very luxurious brand! :))))Well, I like going shopping, and buying new clothes for example.) I'm not into one or two brands, I like trying new brands and new things.. and new shops. There are hundreds of them :cheers:

RawLee September 6th, 2007, 01:55 PM Nor in Hungary. Here, there are quite much "foreign"(mostly chinese) restaurants.I dont know how good is their food, because I like european food much more.
HiRazor September 6th, 2007, 02:16 PM they speak funny Polish
Well this is what stupid Czechs said (say) about the first generation immigrants too. Be sure the next one will be as fluent as anybody else born in Poland.
Provided they dont move somewhere else, like Czech republic for instance. Which Id have personally welcomed, because asian immigrants here are in general very industrious and hard working people, who perhaps, in the first generation, are not completely familiar with concepts of paying taxes, custom and other fees (not to mention the concept of copyright:)), but overall are a great asset to the community. As Feyd has already mentioned, they are able to run bussiness in places where local czech businesses have long gone bancrupt. Beside that, they rely a lot on education, their children are usually amongst the best students, so there is also a great generation of asian czech lawyers, scientists and engineers looming.

Aren´t you Vietnamese? :lol: Just joke :) You're absolutely right.
HiRazor September 6th, 2007, 03:29 PM Aren´t you Vietnamese?
No (not that it mattered). Im just a humble czech taxpayer who keenly welcomes anybody who joins him in his effort to keep the czech welfare state afloat. The more skilled and hard working Vietnamese, Ukrainians or whoever, the better for this country.
...
I second what the others have already said; most of your input is complete bollox.
There are like 4 or 5 places to eat in the very vicinity of my work. Out of it 2 are Halal foods (catering mostly to the local muslim community), 1 greek place (waitresses however sport an ee accent) and 1 chinese restaurant. The only "czech" place is a "jídelna" (a sort of fast food) whose entire staff (of roughly 10 people) except one cashier are ukrainians. Well this is downtown Prague and the rest of the country is definitely less cosmopolitan, but still you can find an asian fast food, asian market etc in almost any reasonably sized town of this country. Heck even my hometown of pop. 5000 has got a chinese restaurant and a viet veggy market. Not to mention all these ukrainians employed in the construction and service industries all over country.

So I have a bit of a different view.
I wonder if you are from Australia alesmarv? Yes it is funny reading these opinions but on the other hand in CE there are countries who have a long history of having other people walking in and taking away their country and telling them what to do (not to mention murdering, converting religion etc) so I'm not surprised that people feel a little bit cautious about foreigners, its forgivable.
In countries like Australia, Canada, US we've had a fresh start but it is not all roses. Every day I thank multiculturalism for our Chinese, Czech and Hungarian restaurants and that I can go down to the Polish bakery and buy my poznanski (even though these things are starting to be swept away by globalisation a.k.a. Americanisation!). But multiculturalism should be a two-way street. We respect the immigrant groups and they in turn should respect the life we have provided for them. Many groups such as Europeans, Chinese, Vietnamese assimilate well and are good Australian citizens, however others try to keep their own way and don't respect the host culture. It is never going to be easy and discussing it is even more difficult without causing offence.
HiRazor September 6th, 2007, 04:37 PM Yes it is funny reading these opinions
What opinions? That there is currently 400.000 foreigners legally living in the Czech republic (4% of the total population)? Or that Vietnamese do assimilate quite well to the native community? Whats wrong or funny about it?

I heard there is a lot of Ukrainians in Czech republic. They are especially workers on buildings. They don't live there permanently, they only work there. Lot of them illegaly so they finnancial status is not very high, however it must be profitable for them. In Czech republic is more usual Russian mafia (Karlovy Vary are famous for it) but there is or at least was certainly some Ukrainian as well.
Other questions must be answered by some Czech.

I didn't make fun of them - I just find them cute ;) On the other side it is pretty annoyin that in Vietnamese bar I tend to buy food sometimes - they frequently put people that don't know how to say RICE in Polish :lol: As you can imagine taking an order last pretty long due to that ;) That's all what I meant - I respect their culture :) Besides it seems than few 2nd generation Vietnamese speak fluent Polish (but some of them do) Anyway Poland won't be economical immigrant target coutry for long and that's not going to happen for a long time (those changes in mentality, social system of integrating as in USA) :cheers:
@alesmarv first of all you should not laugh at country of your childhood. Second of all you must know we all had 50 yrs of communism and that it won't be second Australia, USA overnight - we all have those foreign restaurant but it will take a few decades until they become beautifully developed with high quality and cheap prices (as market develpes) Besides CE is totally differnd culture than USA and we will develope our regional form of globalisation and mentality (way of integratin immigrants etc.) If we are differend than USA it doesnt mean we are worse or bad - imho it is us who are better and we tend to better treat and respect differend communities (cause Polish are not compsuntionist and are religious - hence can quickly respect confuctionism or buddism, other Asian religions, muslims etc.) ;) :cheers: Anyway I hope I wasn't too harsh ;) Have a nice day ;)

K 31. 7. 2007 Ředitelství služby cizinecké a pohraniční policie MV ČR v České republice evidovalo 361.791 cizinců, z toho 150.199 cizinců s trvalým pobytem, 211 592 cizinců s některým z typů dlouhodobých pobytů nad 90 dnů
(source) (http://www.czso.cz/csu/cizinci.nsf/kapitola/ciz_pocet_cizincu)
alesmarv September 6th, 2007, 11:17 PM I thought I might come across a bit harsh.
Im not trying to make fun of my home country that I spent allot of time living in and try to go back to at least once a year to visit family.
Now fact one is that there are very little foreigners living in the Czech republic legally and illegally, racially the country is even more homogeneous. At the same time most Czechs feel there are too many and have a negative view of many of them for no reason at all. Saying that Vietnamese don't pay taxes etc. is rubbish because I could guarantee you that per capita they are less likely to scam the country or do illegal things then the local Czech population.
Regarding Asian cuisine, there is none that I have ever seen or heard of in the Czech republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and iv been through allot of towns. I believe you that there are tons of restaurants called Chinese restaurants etc. but none of them serve Chinese food. Just because there is rice on the side doesn't make it Chinese food. None of these foods in these places resemble even anything remotely similar to any type of actual Chinese or Asian cuisine.
Just giving my opinion regarding bad treatment of foreigners, and miss understanding in general of other cultures.
By the way I live in Vancouver, Canada so here the city consists of well over 40% foreign born, and 47% are part of a ethnic minority. Over 450,000 Chinese, 25,000 Vietnamese, well over 150,000 east Indians, etc. The only cities that can post similar numbers would be Toronto and Miami. So this is what i am basing my opinions on, and im not trying to say to be like Vancouver but to just embrace other cultures a bit more and the benefits are huge.
alesmarv September 6th, 2007, 11:24 PM (source) (http://www.czso.cz/csu/cizinci.nsf/kapitola/ciz_pocet_cizincu)
So in other words only 150,000 foreigners actually are living permanently in the Czech republic, while another 211,000 have some type of 90+ day stay. Thats pretty low number. I would love to see the numbers for foreigners living illegally in the Czech republic. I would wager it wouldn't be more 200,000, and probably allot less.
RawLee September 6th, 2007, 11:32 PM You really think various sea fishes and creatures can be transported to these landlocked countries,without significant expenses? And I dont think the bureau of health(we call it ÁNTSZ,it monitors food health) would allow 100day old eggs and cooked bugs. There are real asian restaurants,but maybe not at obvious touristy spots,with food adjusted to the locals' taste.

HiRazor September 7th, 2007, 10:27 AM if they are citizen of Czech rep. then what s then point to count them as Slovaks residents...:nuts: ??
There is no point and they are not counted. I was answering you why (imo) it appears there is more Slovaks in the Czech republic than the 60.000 figure which only refers to the slovak CITIZENS with a czech domicile. Many of the slovak speaking people living in the Czech republic are actually CZECH citizens (200.000 according to 2001 census) and so do not appear in statistics of FOREIGNERS (or dont have officially a czech domicile, see my point 3 about much higher number of employed slovak citizens).
HiRazor September 7th, 2007, 10:38 AM So in other words only 150,000 foreigners actually are living permanently in the Czech republic, while another 211,000 have some type of 90+ day stay.

You have to be a LONG TERM resident for at least 3 years to be entitled to apply for PERMANENT residency in the Czech republic.
alien September 8th, 2007, 11:19 AM i often go shopping to asian food shops. mostly for rise and asian vegetables. rise from them cant compare with poor "slovakian" rise in supermarkets. and if there are some asian rise to buy (tesco for instance) like indian basmati (uncle bens) or thai jasmin, they are too expansive.

HAHAH...bullshit. Of course it might not be 100% same as what a local average person in Yunnan province might eat daily but if it's a dish made by Chinese from Chinese ingredients your arguements are nonsense.

hi is rite. if theyl cook realy chinese, indian, thai or what ever else meals, slovak will never eat it (too spicy, too diffrent).all meals in indian/chinese restaurants are 50% original and 50% slovak. try to ask for instance indians if they go eat to indian restaurants in bratislava.

Ketax September 13th, 2007, 05:09 PM Vietnamese people in my city own many bars and pubs here. Good places to watch vietnamese telenovels:) but that is probably only thing that differs these pubs from those owned by czechs.
geogregor November 11th, 2007, 05:23 PM Me personally, I prefer luxurious goods from C&A and others, but some retirees and low-class wealth citizens love this:)
Since when C&A is luxurious??? :lol:
tersyxus November 11th, 2007, 06:18 PM Since when C&A is luxurious??? :lol:
Yeah, I was also wondering about that. :D In Hungary C&A is one of the cheapest clothing chain with prices not much more serious than at Vietshops, but perhaps in Czechia it's different at all...
Norkey November 11th, 2007, 06:40 PM Well, it is no mater of money as a mater of quantity :D
Of course I like more OP Prestejov or Sunset Suits or whatever similar, but in C&A you can found really nice pieces for casual wearing for low costs!:)
