After graduating from one of Vietnam's top universities and studying finance in Australia, Ho Thai Binh chose to return to his hometown, Vung Tau, and work for the provincial government. But that wasn't enough to pay the bills nor "cool" enough for his girlfriend. That was the turning point. Could he make a living by making a difference in Vietnam?
