Mass emigration has primarily been to Australia although there is a strong presence in the United Kingdom and a sprinkling all over Europe, primarily in Italy. Such emigrants, particularly those in Australia because of their number, tend to congregate in specific areas where they retain Maltese customs and usages. In most cases they make occasional visits to Malta to see relatives and old friends – and this includes third and fourth generation visitors born outside Malta. Ties are strong and the number of cases where migrants return for good is substantial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
