The multilingual Katarina (32) from Sweden speaks Arabic, French, English, German, Swedish and Svorsk. She has excellent memory, especially when it comes to soap operas - our nights have already been filled with shared memories of Maktkamp på Falcon Crest, Rederiet and Varohuset. She also possesses extensive knowledge of the Prophet's good deeds, and will be advocating strongly for the rights of Palestinian (rondell) dogs and donkeys.
Johannes (25) is also from Sweden. Having spent time in Lebanon and Syria, he too speaks Arabic. From my brief experience in his company he seems to be quite forgetful. He has already managed to forget his cap in one taxi and his underwear in another... Johannes enjoys 'lek och spel' and has thus brought along 'Kasta Gris', the classic game where you throw really small plastic pigs around in order to gain points. If Swedish is not an obstacle, you can get to know him better through his blog. 
And again, I am teamed up with a french-speaking Swiss. Jean-Marie (28), aka Jamal, is the fourth member of our team. In many ways, Jean-Marie is a taller version of Guillaume - it is rather uncanny. He cooks excellent rice and loves his sleeping bag. Being a sporty chap, he is currently contemplating practicing yoga in our living room. I can't wait to see him do some Hatha yoga moves. For those of you who would like to practice your French, you can follow his blog.
