Forced to help destroy the two standing statues, Hussain says he's ready to find their sleeping companion. If he succeeds, Bamiyan's Buddhas can perhaps finally rest in peace...

The couple deeply in love does not need roses and cozy décor in order to swoon over each other, nor does the interesting conversationalist require sensory overload in order to invigorate his companion. The Blue Room’s sparse brick walls offer only bizarre Betsy Cullen photographs for distraction, so if you come, bring your A-game, order a quart of Budweiser and prepare for an interesting, if uneven, culinary jaunt around the world. A few destinations may not be worth...
