Thread: Eat Pray Love

to be honest, i really didnt enjoy the Bali chapter of the book. i found the whole book to be self indulgent and i think that the author was sucked in by the 'medicine woman' in ubud.

good for her for 'finding herself' and i really enjoyed the India chapter, but the book as a whole didnt really do it for me. will i watch the movie when it comes out? yes, i will. out of curiosity and because it was filmed partly here.

I met Ibu Liz several times back in when she met Jose from Brazil. I was then driving for a tamu here who went to Puri Asri in Petulu many times. That is where they met and Ba Pak Stefan cooked them a special Brazil meal.

The book is called non fiction, but there are many stories of imagination in this book.

I have to say I didn't think that much of the book either, it certainly didn't live up to what I anticipated. I will watch the movie, but only when I can get a cheap copy.

Many more new balians and yoga guru in Ubud are awaiting the arrival of thousands after the movie release in August.

Be sure to ask for the harga Bali price.

Two days ago I saw a tamu wearing a tee shirt that said Eat, Pay, Leave.

Dedoo, that shirt is for sale at Nuri's Warung. I thought it was funny.

We only live a couple of doors down from Ketut Liyer so after we moved in I re-read the Bali section of the E,P,L book. The people around here seem to think he isn't quite for real and is more interested in the money he can earn.

But having said that, I did enjoy reading the book and I'm sure I'll also enjoy the movie. I'm quite happy to wallow in warm fuzzies (even without the magic mushrooms) especially in a movie but even in a book. I want happy endings in books and movies.

Hopefully I won't end up as one of those women gliding down Monkey Forest Road carefully avoiding eye contact with fellow bules because she is getting in touch with her inner Balinese self.

Reading some of your posts I don’t think you have to worry too much.

Some expats who know Ba Pak Stefan have told me they were upset he was slighted in the book.

To be honest I only read the Bali section but I know for certain that section is not non fiction.

But yes, I like happy endings too!

I like it more as a literature rather than a good story.
I'll just wait for the DVD to come out than watch it on big screen.
