It is unfortunate to say that Klas was also unable to avoid the same scrutiny that your tour guide had faced in the aftermath of the war. It should be said perhaps that he faced it even moreso because he had studied in the United States and then returned to Vietnam. And not until a few years ago was Klas himself, able to venture too far from his home without being under watchful eye of the police. From all of this, Klas was also not allowed to hold a job deserving of his education due to his studying in the US. He now farms coffee beans in the village and sells them at the market. He confessed that he would very much like to speak with the friends he had in the States again. It took me this long to respond because I had to get Klas’ phone number from my father. This is with country code and all, please post this so that if anyone who knew Klas wants to get in touch with him, they may (011)063-8467-2346.
