Dear Benedict,
Thank you for your e-mail of date.
Good to hear the composition of our Goans and their spread throughout
the length and breathe of the universe. We surely are voyagers like
Vasco De Gama.
By way of my contribution to the number of people of Goan origin living
overseas, in Australia we reckon there are about circa 60,000 people in
cities states like Victoria, Western Australia, Brisbane and South
Australia.
Best
Oscar

More than 30% of educated Goans (Mostly Christians) are living in 43
other countries.Out of which, fifty six percent are in the Middle East.
Another 13 percent are in Europe, 11 percent in South and South East
Asia, and 10 percent are in North America.Besides seven percent of the
state’s emigrants are working aboard ships.So what do you expect ???????
