The last evening I was in Seoul the three of us met up to to out for some traditional South-Korean food. Arnie took me to a very popular restaurant which they told me was very well known, and we ate some sort of a meat-spagetti soup, which was quite good, then we went to a really cool old tea house and had some ginger tea and cakes. Arnie was so kind and generous, and we ended up at the roof of the hotel I was staying which was a balcony, and we talked about figures and Bruce Lee. Before they left we took some photos together, and this one Arnie posted on his Facebook group - of us wearing replicas of Bruce's own sunglasses:
What I noticed when meeting him was that Arnie has allot of dignity and even though his English is not so good, he does really listen, and he makes you feel like a little brother in a strange way because he is so aware and concern about once well being. A really super nice guy in other words !
It was really nice to meet him after all these years - and Seoul is a wonderful city, very nice, very clean and a very modern city, and the people are so polite and friendly. I love the way they bow and even though many of them do not speak English, they often go to great lengths to help you if you are lost as when I was trying to find a hotel, I asked one of the staff to show me directions, and even though he did not fully spoke English he asked the rest of his co-workers, and after a while he just took me out of the cafe and wandered a little bit away from it to show me which directions I should go and tried to explain with the little English he knew. We both bowed when we parted, and when we talked by each other later that week, he recognized me, his eyes light up and we bowed. So cool !
