I read about the explosion at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad. It largely hosts foreign visitors like myself. I had lunch there twice: they serve good all-you-can-eat lunch buffets. The food is OK (not as spectacular as Serena's) but the temperature was too high for my taste.
PS A friend suggested that it sounded insensitive. It was not meant to be. I also was surprised: that I found hotels in Islamabad very well-protected: much more than hotels in Beirut, for example. Condolences to victims.
