Working in an international Team

For the last few months, I was feeling rather depressed about my job that had changed last year. The international project I had been part of for almost 5 years had ended and I was in some kind of flux trying to find a new purpose. I did get a new job in the same company that I did not really like but it seems to get better now. Starting January, the team has become very international with colleagues from Japan to South America and hey, this is fun!
I finally can use my English again, can talk to people from different backgrounds and interact with different views that sometimes clash. It is like a smaller version of Mylot from 9 to 5 that pays my rent 
Do you have any experience about working in international teams and maybe some stories to share with us? Or is Mylot YOUR international team?
I'd love to discuss this with you

You described myLot wonderfully. It is my international team and I have always loved that about it.

Not extremely international at job number one (Upper secondary school) but we have two Germans and one Polish teacher :-) And two Russians in the cleaning crew. There's also some not Norwegian pupils, I don't have any this year though. One of my pupils is half Russian, but he's born and raised in Norway so the main difference to others is that he is not afraid of grammar. Taught himself German and started on the upper level here, he was better then the other ones who had studied it for 3 years in school.
At the other job (substituting at the university this year) there's a Dutch physicist, a Spanish physicist, a Portuguese something ( I think she teaches Biology) and a Indonesian physicist with a degree from France. Not a lot of International students, one last term (Middle East with degree from France) and maybe one this year, but he could be as Norwegian as me. Can't judge by skin colour :-)
I also have on team from when I studied in Vienna, friends in Finland, Austria and the UK. Also one in Germany and one in Riga from when I visited a language course on Iceland after the year in Vienna. And of course my online-friends all over the world, mainly from a Tolkien-site. I've met quite a few of them in real-life, visited some in Singapore and on New Zealand and we've travelled quite a lot together in Europe.
You're new job sounds promising :-) Hope it turns out super :-)
