Asaf Auerbach with his brother Ruben

Asaf Auerbach with his brother Ruben

This is my brother Ruben and me, I'm on the right in the pool. The photo was taken in Mokropsy, where Grandma and Grandpa had a cottage. But what you can see in the photograph isn't their house, it's someone else's villa. Grandpa used to call Mokropsy Nasshunden and he and Grandma used to go there on the weekends. As the photo shows, we sometimes used to go there to be with them. I'd say that the relationship between my brother and me could be described as typical sibling rivalry. We quarreled, which is more or less normal, and so on. But otherwise we liked each other a lot. Ruben liked sports, whenever he did something, he did it very thoroughly. I don't remember much from this time of my early childhood when the photo was taken.
