Nga

Nga is a girl who lives here. She is from the countryside in the mountains outside of Hue. She has a bubble wrap fetish, and she shares Hien's attraction to the Godfather Theme- so she walks around the house popping bubble wrap and humming the Godfather theme.

But that's neither here nor there.

In the countryside of Vietnam, daughters still fetch a price from the groom. Since the bride's family is losing a fine, sturdy work animal, they need something in return, you know?

So listen up parents- this is what your daughter is worth:

10 cows.
5 ducks.
$30,000,000 dong ($2000)

This is how much a person is worth. If Nga gets married, this is what her family gets.
