11. Your classmate sounds like a friend of mine

He's a VN vet, SF, who met a woman working in a hotel on one of his trips back, and he wooed and married her.

They built a home near her family in Dalat and they divide their time between living here and there.

I see them at vet events here and it's always a pleasure to see them. I'm a hero in her book simply because I was able to sing a Vietnamese song. Foreigners are impressed by Americans who can speak only a few words in their language because that's so uncommon.

Your friend will have a lot more knowledge about the country than I do. He might even encourage you to visit there.
