United Nations
The film crew refer to each of the houses involved in the series by the nationality of the characters living there. Thus we have the Vietnamese house, the Greek house, the Bollywood house, the Russian empire etc etc. It may seem a tad over the top to have a different nationality in every house but then again if I look from our place to the end of the street what do we have in reality? Dutch/Australian-Lebanese-UK/Australian-Greek-Italian. On the other side of the road, Italian-Greek-Italian-Malaysian-Sudanese-Greek-Sri Lankan and then we get to the ones I don't know so well.
It's only a small cul-de-sac but there are more nationalities living here in reality than in the film. As far as I can tell the only continent not represented is North America. Or maybe they're just keeping quiet about it?
