Images of Vietnamese female students along with many famous locations in Ho Chi Minh City will appear in a major Finnish television production called "The Amazing Race Finland" in 2023.
Nguyen Anh Thy (Anna Nguyen, 18 years old) is the only Vietnamese person participating in this contest and contributed to bringing this program to film in Ho Chi Minh City.
Anh Thy's companion is Finnish billionaire Peter Vesterbacka, co-founder of the popular game Angry Birds, Chairman of the educational organization Finest Future. The two formed a team called the Red Team.
Sharing at the Amazing Race Finland - Vietnam event in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of October 22, Anh Thy was proud that her hometown Ho Chi Minh City appeared on a famous television show and became more known to international audiences.

Mr. Peter and Anh Thy first met in 2020 through Finest Future (a unit that supports international students to study in Finland). Before this year's summer vacation, she was invited by the billionaire to join this program.
More specifically, the venue for one of the challenges of the competition will take place in Ho Chi Minh City - Anh Thy's hometown.
In the introduction, many famous landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City appeared in the competition such as the City Post Office, Turtle Lake, Thanh Da, Binh Quoi. Teams of many famous people overcome challenges with many Vietnamese folk games such as pottery making, shrimp fishing, rowing, coconut collecting...

Anh Thy said the first time she worked directly with billionaire Peter was a test of the harmony between two "stubborn" people. The first thing the female student learned was to stay calm in all situations.
After each episode, two members of the Red Team spend an hour debriefing and planning for the next episode. The girls learn how to work in a team, how to treat other teams, and the production team.
Taking advantage of the "home field" advantage, Anh Thy took the opportunity to introduce to the members about the country and people of Vietnam, and the beauty of Ho Chi Minh City.
The 18-year-old girl is a former student of Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted. Anh Thy left Vietnam at the age of 16 after finishing 10th grade.
Coming to a rather strange country, Thy took the opportunity to develop herself, including the opportunity to participate in the Amazing Race. She was a member of the winning team in the dance competition "Moves Like Summeri" by the Finnish national television station YLE.
The Vietnamese female student also became an excellent student of Mäntän Lukio High School; head of the representative group of the European Youth Parliament (EYP); head of the organizing committee of the EYP Finland regional conference in Tampere City; head of the volunteer group of the global startup event SLUSH 2022.
