For his commute to work, Matt has to detour around the large Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) base that is in the middle of the city on the old airport grounds. I had to laugh every time we saw the entrance, which includes this big sign:
I don't know if this is a mistranslation, or if becoming a "PATRIOTIC ARROWHEAD" is really an aspiration of Bangladeshis. Either way, it adds some entertainment to the commute.
Matt and Val live in NYC where he works for a pharmaceutical company and she is a teacher. Matt is on a six month assignment in Bangladesh to facilitate a partnership between Pfizer and Grameen (winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize). Valerie joined him in April for one week, and for his last 2 months (July-August).
