Eat, Pray, Love to the end of the book (pg. 331)

Liz continues her adventures in Bali with Felipe. She has decided that she loves Felipe, and he says he loves her, but she knows she will never marry him. He lives in Bali, and she knows there is no future for her in the town and cannot stay here all her life. But she enjoys spending as much time with him as possible. He also warns Liz about Balinese people, specifically Wayan, the village woman she has raised 18,000 American dollars for buying a new house since she has been evicted and cares for many adopted kids. It's been a while since she's given Wayan the money to put in her bank account while she looks for a new home, and Wayan still hasnt shown any signs of getting closer to finding a new home to buy. Felipe and Liz decide to intervene in her home buying process, and take her around with realtors. Liz learns that home buying in Bali is a very long and complicated process. It's actually quite shameful to be selling land/ property there, so most sellers don't publicize their land that's for sale. You'd usually find out through rumors. Also, there are many religious limitations involved in home buying. And finally, once you've found a house that you like, you have to see a priest to find an auspicious day to purchase the home. I thought this was kinda funny because in the book I previously read, Memoirs of a Geisha, the geisha relied on looking at calenders that told them auspicious days for certain actions. Anyways, after many attempts to get Wayan a good home, she comes up with various excuses which annoys the two. She finally finds a good piece of land she likes, but can only afford 2/7 of it. After a series of complicated events, Wayan is basically trying to squeeze more money out of Liz, and Liz finally realizes it. She in turn messes with Wayan, and gets her to finally buy some land and get started on her house building. At this point, Liz goes to an island in Indonesia named Gili Meno, a place she has already been before. She remembers her previous spiritual journey that she endured in her last trip. This recollection of her memories prompts Liz to compare that journey to the one she is about to embark on, this time under different circumstances. She comes here with Felipe this time, unlike last time when she came alone. She realizes how lucky she is to have someone like him and how great of a turn around her life has made since last year, before her traveling vacation.
