This soccer player character was HUGE in my childhood. I used to day dream being like him 🙂 He was a character from a Japanese cartoon that was translated into Arabic (and called Rami). He used to come on TV at 4:30pm every day and he was a part of my day as I used to watch the cartoon right after school (and having lunch at home) and would then tend to my homework after that. That “tradition” had a real impact on me and as I write this I can relate to how I actually felt during that time 🙂

I was drawn to his ability to find workarounds to problems and tricks to get out of situations.

Now only if I can reverse the polarity….
