Re: Neighbours…
I live in a bloc of 4 flats. a young Italian couple across (they gave me a WINE bottle over the x-mas), in the flat below mine lives a Polish Doctor and his family; in 4th flat lives a Sri LAnkan couple, the husband is some IT specialist (The muppet gave me a Jack Daniel bottle over the x-mas). 
All nice and decent people, never caused any trouble. As for rest of the street, we are the only Asians (me and the Sri lankan couple) here.
