I've been friends with Aritz from the Basque Country for almost 2 decades. Wow I can't even believe I just wrote that.
We first met when he came to my hometown in 1993 as an exchange student to attend my high school. Late in the summer, a week before our senior year began my Spanish teacher at the time asked me to show him around town. I picked him up in my 1985 Chevy Cavalier 4 speed, and offered him a cigarette. The rest as they say is 'history'.
We've kept in close contact over the years, visiting each other when we can. I lived with his family 2 years after he attended my high school, and his father gave me a job at the family run factory that summer.
Nowadays, Aritz has business all over the world, so naturally I made time for him during his stopover in Korea recently. The above video was one of the only evenings out we had together while he visited.
Author's Note: The entire movie above was shot on my I-Phone 4.
Keep the faith.
