Jawolla. After I won a ballon trip when I was 12 years old (never joined it by the way) I just found out about my second prize won in my life. I won a “Auszeichnung” (award) at the german creative competition ADC (Art Directors Club) with my illustrated tool for IKEA “Stoff fuer deine Phantasie”. Even though I am doing something else right now, its a good feeling though that my time as a graphic designer bore fruits now and I can announce to have at least one award.
On top of that I am happy and further confident in life and my situation. Even though my girlfriend went back to the states, I feel happy knowing her and everything makes sense in life anyways. She knows that as well as I do. I am based in Nanjing now as you can see on my new website as well. www.pflock.com . I am working as a teacher for English and German here and do my exhibition soon, which is fun. I practice as much as I can my characters and learn how to understand this language. Its great, yes. And especially in these days when I hear foreigners outside taking about China, that there would be no desire at all to visit this “evil” country. I love it. I love China. Yes. Maybe because I am interested in the people in general and not only in the country’s way of leading it. And as a German saying says: you shouldn’t throw pears and apples into the same basket. The people are great in China.
I hug you all, miss and love you.

congrats on the award- very cool stuff.
yeah, we only need to step out of our comfort zone and into a world or experience unfamiliar to us, and the beauty can be revealed. there is certainly more to china than meets the eye (especially given how the media presents it to the outside world), and that goes for everything….
enjoy this marvelous time, flo.
