Double Happiness

Post by **CocoaButter** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:41 pm

Marriage brokers recruit young Vietnamese women to come to Ho Chi Minh City where they are viewed by groups of Taiwanese men. Each of the men pays a fee to pick a suitable bride from the line-up. Within days of meeting, the couples will be married. In "Double Happiness", Chien-Chi Chang offers a series of scenarios following the process of arranged marriage in south-east Asia: from selection and application to all the paperwork and the final ceremony.

Cocoa... the strange thing is... when we were in Vietnam 2 years ago, we actually noticed there seemed to be more women than men.... we were actually wondering if it was an imbalance... or if the men never came out!
