In high school I have never thought that one day I would need to go back and relearn everything again. I must say ... I am not complaining. I like learning together with kids, exploring new areas of science previously unknown to me or just forgotten.

AMOEBA - AMEBA - 變形蟲
PARAMECIA - PANTOFELEK - 草履蟲
I must say I am quite impressed.
