...beyond the standard cocktail party fare. Have you ever chatted with a female bullfighter in Spain? She has. Split your time between old-school rappers and dog show aficionados? Check. Written an article for an outdoors magazine that got made into the summer blockbuster Blue Crush? Waded through alligator-ridden swampwater in search of an elusive “ghost orchid?” And did Meryl Streep play you in Spike Jonze’s Adaptation? Orlean can boast all this and more...

No evening out in Colombo is complete without an after-midnight pit stop by this grungy eatery on the Galle Road. If you're put off by the rust-ridden iron furniture and curry-stained floors (Pilawoos doesn't win awards for hygiene), then follow the example of the local ?lite and chow down in the comfort of your car. Any time of day or night, you'll find dozens of cars parked out front, while waiters in white sarongs...
