Nadzab is a major town in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, about 40 kilometers northwest of Lae, at the entrance to the Markham Valley, a key link between the Highlands and the coast. A World War II heritage site, Nadzab was once an important Allied airbase, and today its Nadzab Airport is the second largest in Morobe province, carrying domestic flights and helping to export local agricultural products such as coffee and cocoa. Surrounded by a tropical rainforest climate and an economy based on agriculture and air logistics, Nadzab is an important transit point for trade between the interior and the coast of PNG, and is characterized by a combination of natural ecology and historical and cultural attractions.
Located in western Massachusetts, on the banks of the Connecticut River and part of the Springfield metropolitan area, Holyoke was an important hub of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, and is known as the "Paper City" - famous for having housed nearly half of the nation's paper mills in the late 1800's. Today, the city combines industrial history with natural charm, and is home to Mount Tom State Park, which is the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Today, this city combines industrial history and natural charm with Mount Tom State Park, which offers panoramic views of the Connecticut River Valley, and a downtown with a collection of Victorian-era industrial buildings, including the Holyoke Canal System, which still stands as a testament to the prosperity of water transportation in the days of yore. As a multicultural community, the city retains its history and continues to revitalize itself with traditional events such as the annual Three County Fair and educational institutions such as Holyoke Community College.
