Dear Chinh,
I hope you are happy and in good health…
Of course I remember you! And I remember all those nice places we went and the conversations we had.
How are you? I am well and writing to you from Sydney, where I am visiting friends for a couple of weeks.
It was a pleasure meeting you and I am glad you got to be my guide in the Central Highlands, because you were very professional and always in good humor.
I do not know when will I ever come back to the Village of Thuot’s Father, but if I do, I promise to look you up.
By the way, if you were to find the house where I lived, maybe I would come back sooner.
Stay in contact and I will do the same.
Best regards,
Francisco "TJ" Tejeda
