Bali Palm Reader



As I have planned, I went to visit Ketut Liyer the Palm Reader of Ubud, Bali.

I am glad that I went to his home early since I was the second person there and more people were coming from all over the world:


Ketut Liyer's home and gallery with some of his mystical paintings:



Ketut Liyer reading my palm: He says I will live to be 103 years old and that I will have good Karma when I get reborn and that I should persue a carreer in publishing ( I'm already an illustrator) I wonder if he says this to everybody...
Anyway, wether I believe his predictions or not--at least it was fun to see him.
He is now 90 years old.


Below, Liyer reading my Palm:



Liyers hand and mine:



I sketched him while reading other people's palm and I let him sign my skctch:


In exchange, at the end of our palm reading session, Liyer ask me to sign his guestbook:



After my visit to Liyer, Yvonne from Holland whom I met at the reading, decided to eat lunch together at a Warung ,a local balinese foodstand:





A typical Warung Balinses Food: Nasi Campur:





After lunch, I took a walk to Monkey Forest:



More street scenes of Ubud:





When I reached Ubud Inn, I tried playing with the ANGKLUNG or balinese xylophone:


In the evening, I met up with my good friend Maritel foran aperitif at Cafe Wayan:

Good chilled Mojitos:



Then for dinner at another restaurant:



Here we are ending the evening by listening to live music at the Jazz Cafe:

Did you ever read the book "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert? In it she writes about Bali and a fortune teller. I wonder if it is him?
