"THE BUSINESS CENTRE", a sprawling warehouse in Wolka Kosowska outside Warsaw, has a distinctly East Asian feel. The air is filled with zither music and haggling in Vietnamese. Impromptu bouts of tien len, a card game, are set up on cardboard boxes. A sign warns that "burning incense is prohibited"; another that tea dregs are not to clog the wash basin. Poland and the Czech Republic, both of which vehemently oppose European efforts to redistribute Syrian refugees, are home to large Asian communities. The first Vietnamese arrived in the 1980s as part of a student exchange between their country and the socialist republics of Eastern Europe. Many settled and brought over relatives. Today there are an estimated 40,000-50,000 of them in Poland, and 60,000-80,000 in the Czech Republic, the highest by proportion in Europe. The Buddhist temples and cultural centres sprouting up suggest that they are here to stay.

机译：华沙郊外沃尔卡·科索斯卡（Wolka Kosowska）庞大的仓库“ THE BUSINESS CENTRE”具有明显的东亚风味。空气中充满了古筝音乐和越南语。纸箱上放置了纸牌游戏天伦（Tinn len）的即席游戏。标语警告“禁止焚香”；另一个建议是茶渣不要堵塞洗手盆。波兰和捷克共和国都强烈反对欧洲为重新分配叙利亚难民所做的努力，它们是亚洲大社区的家园。作为国家与东欧的社会主义共和国之间的学生交流的一部分，第一批越南人于1980年代到达。许多人定居并带来了亲戚。今天，在波兰估计有40,000-50,000，在捷克共和国有60,000-80,000，按欧洲的比例最高。佛教寺庙和文化中心的兴起表明它们将留在这里。
