^A lot of Bulgarians have moved to countries like Spain (for economic reasons) and Turkey (probably ethnic Turks returning).
@McBane, I did post statistics for Japan probably a few pages back. The foreign population is not very large relative to the country's overall population but there is an interesting mix (beyond sources nearby) from Brazil, Peru, Bolivia to even Mexico and Nigeria.
South Korea is coming up too.
As for Israel the data is so outdated and so far have been difficult to find city/metro specific statistics, mainly the country as a whole. It is one of the countries that I know has a diverse population in terms of countries of origin but so limited in release of data.
