The weird bacteria! I heard about that on the radio...it seems like a good basis for a story.
Writing in a different language than you're used to can really be hard. I have to write essays for Japanese class now, and ugh...
The gender thing amuses me, because Japanese goes the opposite direction and doesn't mark plurals or gender. So If you say "biologist" (seibutsugakusha; I just looked it up), it could mean "a biologist", "the biologist", "some biologists", "the biologists", etc. They could be male, female, or whatever. It makes things rather vague. Which could be good, I suppose, but at other times, it drives you nuts.
Calculus! AHHH! *runs and hides*
I read some of the little_details community, and it's rather addicting. Good luxk with your story(ies)!!
