I first met E.L.Fs one early winter on November 6, 2005, at the age of 19, and now I am in the 20th year of my career at 38-years old.
“Ever since then, our E.L.Fs protected their place right next to us. I believe that our friendship became stronger and stronger as we experienced happy and sad times together throughout the years."
