Alex (left) is a housemate who also hails from Switzerland - the French part. So don't try greeting him in Swiss-German once you've found out his nationality - it'll really piss him off. (When he met Laura it was ugly.) José Miguel is the son of our landlady, Chichi. He speaks very fast and is always laughing about something. We understand him sometimes.

Lily (left) is another housemate (American) who is working for the Democracy Center. Beside her is her boyfriend Andres - the very same one mentioned above. He's a Cochabambino.

This is Leah. She's holding the famous cake. She's 23.
