Florian in Lübeck

When the beer glass is empty, you can only smile... :-)
This is my friend Florian in Lübeck, a city on the Baltic Sea coast. We originally met via blogs on the internet, which is sometimes not the best way to run across dependable people, but after a few emails we both quickly saw that we had met someone who was not flakey. He is finishing his schooling and already has a job lined up – a smart guy – for the beginning of February in Lübeck. He speaks excellent English after having spent a year of high school in the Midwest, and he is active in a theatre club in Lübeck as well as in a charity organization for AIDS help. He is also a talented artist – drawing – and a gifted rollerskater. So what else is special about this guy? So much, but one thing sticks out above all else for me: whether in an email or in a conversation, he has the ability to make you relax and feel like time has stopped. This is very helpful, because Germans are always on a schedule, making shortness of time a chronic situation here. Thank you, Florian, for your gentle spirit, making time stand still.
