I saw the Lontar Library this year. They keep the originals locked away. They showed me the replicas kept in small wooden boxes. A lady showed me how the lontar leaves are inscribed.

I bought a book in English on Balinese Magic. I was interested to see a description of the Om symbol which was on the back of my hired motorcycle. The Om symbol was supposed to bring good luck. However, a taxi driver in Sanur hit me from behind before speeding off. He broke off the Om symbol. So much for good luck.
