Visienne from Belgium





We made a friend who is staying in the villa below us. Visienne is a doctor from Belgium traveling around Bali alone. The three of us woke up early one morning to visit the “early” Ubud market, also considered the Javanese market. The village market was full of local Indonesians buying essentials and surprisingly… offerings. Throughout the day the Balinese set out offerings of food and flowers in a variety of simple, woven containers. We had thought that each person created their own offerings every day, but it turns out that they buy these offerings from the market in large quantities.
That evening Jubie and Visienne attended an Ashtanga yoga class at the Yoga Barn. The yoga barn is an open-air high ceiling villa that overlooks the lilly ponds. One of the most beautiful places for yoga. Interesting to note, there was not one Indonesian present. It appears they are "living meditation" without the need for a special class.
