TransNusa Inflight Magazine

To customers of TransNusa Air Services Selamat Datang!

Welcome aboard!

Kami sangat berbahagia melihat Anda masih setia terbang bersama kami TransNusa Air Services kemanapun tujuan Anda – kami juga perhatikan, banyak sekali dari Anda terbang langsung dari Denpasar ke Labuan Bajo, yang merupakan pintu gerbang ke Taman National Komodo, membuktikan bahwa begitu populernya tempat ini. Kami berharap semoga Anda menikmati perjalanan Anda.

Very happy to see you on one of our flights wherever you may be headed – we have noticed that so many of you are taking advantage of our direct jet flights from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo which is proving so popular – I hope and am sure you will have or had a spectacular time there.

Wilayah timur Indonesia saat ini sedang mempersiapkan diri untuk menyambut musim turis dimana cuaca cerah sangat cocok untuk kegiatan outdoor dan petualangan. Jadwal penerbangan kami dirancang untuk memberikan kenyamanan bagi semua orang untuk mengunjungi daerah timur Indonesia yang menakjubkan. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan penerbangan ini, kami menambahkan satu lagi Fokker 50 dengan interior yang nyaman dan berwarna merah menyala yang siap melayani Anda lebih baik.

Edisi Mei – Juni, majalah TransNusa inflight dikemas dengan berbagai artikel dan beberapa gambar yang menakjubkan - semua sangat berbeda dan mencerminkan berbagai tujuan dan rute menarik TranNusa Air Services, dan juga menyoroti apa yang terjadi bersamaan dengan hal-hal menarik yang dapat dilakukan.

Bagaimana orang bisa berpikir Bali (salah satu hub kami yang penerbangannya membawa Anda ke semua titik timur Indonesia) tidak seperti dulu - tujuan yang luar biasa – ada di sekeliling kami, dan kami menunjukkan di artikel Bali bringing it on sesuatu yang luar biasa menunggu Anda, di mana salah satunya adalah Regalia the Enchanted Forest, pertunjukan akrobat theater spektakuler baru hadir di Bali yang kami gambarkan di salah satu di majalah ini.

Setelah Bali adalah Lombok, kami juga menampilkan potensi bawah laut yang spektakuler dari dua tempat di Lombok yaitu Gili dan Belongas Bay ( Lombok Selatan). DSM dengan senang hati akan membantu Anda menyelam di kepulauan Gili, sedangkan DiveZone yang telah mengenal daerah Selatan Lombok, dalam artikel Sepi-Belongas Bay akan membantu Anda menyelam di daerah ini. Anda akan melihat ada banyak sekali kegiatan yang dapat dilakukan didaerah kami, tetapi bagi yang hanya ingin bersantai, silahkan membaca artikel kami tentang Senggigi revisited dimana penulis menunjukkan kepada Anda bagaimana menikmati tempat ini tanpa melakukan apa-apa!

Our whole area of eastern Indonesia is now preparing for the tourist season when the weather will be perfect for outdoor activities and adventure. Our flight scheduling is designed to provide as much opportunities for everyone to visit the fabulous east of Indonesia. Addressing the need for more flights, we are now adding an extra Fokker 50 with nice new interior and a bright red tail fin to our fleet which, with our BAE 146 jet aircraft, will enable us to serve you better.

The May/June edition of the inflight magazine is packed with a variety of articles and some stunning pictures – all very different and reflecting the variety of destinations and the attractive routes of TranNusa, but also highlighting what’s going on as far as great things to do.

How anyone can think Bali (one of our hubs with flights taking you to all points east) is not what it used to be – a superb destination - is beyond me, and we show in our article Bali bringing it on just what fabulous delights await you; where one of those delights is Regalia the Enchanted Forest, Bali’s new must-see acrobatic theatre performance and described in one of our articles with the same title as the show.

Close to Bali is Lombok which we have also featured bys showing off its underwater potential – two great dive spots: The Gils where you are looked after by DSM dive and in South Lombok at Belongas Bay where Dive Zone keep you amongst the fish – large and small. You will see there is lots to do but for those of you who like to kick your feet up and just relax, please read our story just for you entitled Senggigi revisited where our writer shows you how to enjoy doing nothing!

We hope you enjoy your time in our area of Indonesia and do have a nice flight!

Kami berharap Anda dapat menikmati perjalanan di daerah kami di Indonesia!

KUTA World’s most famous beach

bringing it on

Story by The Agency Photos by various sources

Berjalan menyusuri pantai, berjemur atau menikmati matahari terbenam, pantai Kuta yang terkenal, ya pantai ini telah kembali ... dengan atraksi terbaik di Bali yang ditawarkan

2011

Walking along the beach, getting a golden tan or hitting Kuta’s famous sunset strip after dark just got even better, because the beach is back with the best that Bali has to offer

Hello! from Waterbom

Setelah berbulan-bulan hujan dan langit abu-abu, akhirnya langit biru Kuta telah kembali, pantai ini bagaikan magnet raksasa yang memikat semua orang untuk datang menikmatinya. Seperti beruang yang muncul dari gua-gua persembunyian mereka tampak bertebaran untuk menikmati pantai terbaik dunia serta tujuan surfing - di mana semua kebutuhan berlibur tidak lebih dari beberapa menit jaraknya. Tidak perlu khawatir dengan kemacetan.

After months of rain and grey clouds Kuta’s blue skies are back, the beach is like a giant magnet luring everyone to the water’s edge. Like bears emerging from their caves we dust off our eyes and once more start enjoying what has always been the world’s best beach and surf destination – where all the necessities of holiday life are no more than a short stroll away. No need to give traffic the slightest thought.

Hal pertama apa yang terlintas dalam pikiran Anda ketika Anda memikirkan pantai Bondi di Sydney, Rio Copacabana atau Perancis Riviera? Ok tenang, saya tahu, G-string, Brasil waxes dan kulit-keemasan. Tapi ‘sabarlah’, hal lain yang Anda perhatikan adalah ruang handuk dipantai menjadi tempat yang premium. Pantai ini akan tampak deretan manusia yang sedang berjemur.

What are the first things that come into your mind when you think of Sydney’s Bondi beach, Rio’s Copacabana or France’s Riviera? Ok settle down, I know, G-strings, Brazilian waxes and well-tanned bods. But ‘seddle’ down, the other thing you notice is that beach towel space comes at a premium. Those beaches are human grid looks.

Kuta tidak berbeda. Akan segera macet. Saat ini “pantai” perlahan-lahan mulai beralih dari berawan – berangsurangsur membiru. Tempat surfing terbaik dunia telah selesai beristirahat, akan segera memompa semangat para peselancar dari seluruh penjuru dunia mulai memasang mata mereka untuk mengincar gelombang yang akan mereka taklukkan, mulai dari Uluwatu kemudian turun ke Padang Padang serta Dreamland dan melewati pantai daerah Kuta hingga Medewi lebih jauh ke utara.

Kuta’s no different. It will soon be jammed. Right now “the beach” is just beginning to stir – sky blue days are still punctuated by cloudy days. The best surf breaks in the world will soon be pumping – boardriders the world over have their eyes on the coastline from Uluwatu down through Padang Padang and Dreamland and past the Kuta beach area and on to Medewi further north.

Massa akan datang – dari hampir seluruh penjuru dunia.

Memang, saat ini Kuta masih menjadi tujuan yang

Crowds will come – the world will arrive in hordes.

It was and probably still is the most utilized exotic beach destination on the planet. How popular is gauged by how large or small the piece of sand you lay your beach towel on is.

paling eksotis di planet ini. Seberapa popular tempat ini dapat diukur dengan berapa helai handuk yang terhampar di pantai.

Dan pantai Kuta, merupakan ground zero.

Kembali ke era 60 an, Kuta merupakan ikon (sebelum kata ikon populer) setiap turis di jalan harus bisa mengatakan Kuta dari mana atau kemanapun tujuan mereka. Di pantai inilah dimulainya adegan moderen yang saat ini kita lihat.

Beberapa dekade lalu sebagian besar surfer dunia masih terikat dengan pantai-pantai dekat rumah mereka - kecuali Aussies (Australia) muda yang telah sejak lama menunggangi gelombang di Kuta. Tidak lama kemudian, kaum hippies dan pelancong dengan angaran pas-pasan mengikuti jejak mereka untuk menikmati keindahan pantai Kuta - yang menjadikan perhentian terakhir para back-packer setelah perjalanan dari Kathmandu, Marrakech dan Goa.

Designer sunsets - be there!

Let’s go bowling

Pull up some sand

And Kuta beach is ground zero.

Back in the 60’s Kuta was an icon before the word icon was popularized – every traveler ‘on the road’ had to be able to say Kuta was where they had been or where they were headed. It’s where the modern beach “scene” all started.

A few decades ago most of the world’s surfers were still tied to the womb of their home beach breaks – except young Aussies who were hitting the perfect waves of Kuta reef. Not long after that the hippies and other cashstrapped travelers on shoe string budgets (now they wear those other strings) followed to the hang-out haven known as Kuta beach – which became another stop on the back-pack trail that included Kathmandu, Marrakech and Goa. Times have changed. Brazilians, Japanese have fallen in love with Kuta.

Russians are learning to surf and learning how to party without Vodka in a fashion begun by the boys ‘from down unda’ that rings to the tune of beer, beer and more beer.

When the kids are happy, so are you

Waterbom’s H2O buckets of fun

Learning how to surf... everybody wants to

TransNusa | Inflight Magazine | May - Jun 2011 | 09

Waktu terus berubah. Pelancong dari Brazil, Jepang telah jatuh cinta dengan Kuta.

Rusia mulai belajar untuk bersurfing dan berpesta tanpa Vodka. Dalam hal ini, trend ini dimulai oleh para Aussies dengan lagunya bir, bir dan bir lagi.

But Kuta is now even more universal. It’s a holiday destination for everyone including families and the huge Indonesian domestic market that have changed from spectators into participants in the summer thrill that is Kuta.

Tapi Kuta kini lebih universal. Merupakan tujuan liburan bagi semua orang termasuk keluarga dan pasar domestik yang telah berubah dari penonton menjadi peserta dalam gairah musim panas di Kuta.

Experiencing the Kuta menu is having a massage, getting your hair plaited or acquiring a 2-week tattoo. It’s throwing caution to the paranoia of Bali belly and trying delicacies cooked up under the palm trees such as gado-gado and noodle soup. It’s riding a motorcycle to beat the traffic. It’s learning to surf at the many “surf schools” such as ODYSSEYS SURF SCHOOL where the teachers paddle out into the waves with you. It’s getting a golden tan and buying bikinis, t-shirts, sarongs, and board shorts at bargain basement prices.

Menikmati menu Kuta; pijat, kepang rambut atau bertato yang tahan 2 minggu.

Hilangkan rasa khawati tentang sakit perut dengan menikmati gado-gado atau mie di bawah pohon kelapa. Mengendarai sepeda motor untuk mengalahkan lalu lintas.

Belajar surfing di “ODYSSEYS SURF SCHOOL” yang akan mengajarimu mendayung dan menaklukkan ombak Kuta. Mencoklatkan kulit dan membeli baju renang, t-shirt, kain pantai dan celana pendek dengan harga murah.

Semua bercampur baur, orang tua dari Rotterdam, gadis cantik dari St Petesburgh, perempuan paruh baya dari Florentine, Kuta cowboys dari dataran tinggi Bali, mantan narapidana dari Marseilles, gadis-gadis cantik dari Madura dan masih banyak lagi. Bak bungai rampai ras dan budaya dari seluruh penjuru dunia ada disini.

Bagi mereka yang ingin “melakukan hal-hal lain” ada WATERBOM yang menunggu Anda untuk meluncur dengan berbagai macam pilihan papan luncur sesuai dengan usia dan

It’s mixing stories with an old guy from Rotterdam, a tall vixen from St Petesburgh, an elderly Florentine damsel, Kuta cowboys from the Bali highlands, the ex-con from Marseilles, veiled maidens from Madura and many more. It’s a potpourri of race and culture from all over the world.

For those who want to “do stuff ” there’s WATERBOM just waiting to take you for a ride. As gentle or as rugged as you’d like, it’s as laid back or as intimidating as you desire. Try the “Climax” or “Superbowl”. Be relaxed, be splashed down by its slides. It’s often called Bali’s best daycation that doubles as a restaurant-within-awaterpark serving outrageous delicacies like fish and chips, teriyaki sandwiches,nasi goreng and super smooth juicy milk shakes. The park looks after everyone. There’s a mega bucket of H2O spillage that is one of the many do-we-have-to-go-homenow enjoyment magnets for the brood that still gives vent to bravado, bravery and squeals of delight – it has all the things kids love.

Ten-pin bowling in Bali? Yes – possible at PARADISO LIFESTYLE CENTRE which they call a leisure centre for the whole family because it has everything including pool

nyali Anda. Hanya ingin bersantai, atau melakukan hal yang memompa adrenalin Anda, semuanya ada, cobalah Climax atau Superbowl!. WATERBOM merupakan waterpark terbesar dan terbaik di Bali yang memiliki 17 papan luncur bagi segala usia dan sering disebut-sebut sebagai “Bali best daycation” yang didalamnya juga dilengkapi dengan restauran yang menyuguhkan hidangan penggugah selera seperti fish & chips, terayaki, sanwiches, nasi goreng, aneka sate dan berbagai macam minuman dingin selepas beraktifitas.

Hey Anda bahkan dapat bermain bowling dan billiard di PARADISO LIFESTYLE CENTRE dimana merupakan indoor entertainment kompleks, bukan hanya diperuntukkan bagi orang dewasa, tetapi dapat pula dinikmati oleh seluruh keluarga Anda. Dilengkapi dengan Kids Fasilities, layar lebar untuk menyaksikan acara olah raga dan musik. Gerai makanan dengan berbagai macam pilihan menu plus live band setiap harinya yang akan menghibur selama Anda bersantap di STATION CAFE. Untuk penikmat kehidupan malam/ night life ataupun clubbers, mereka harus ke DEEJAY CLUB yang merupakan salah satu fasilitas kompleks tersebut. Andapun dapat menginap di KUTA STATION HOTEL & SPA yang memiliki fasilitas seperti CONTENDER GYM, JALANIDI SPA bahkan “long” pool didalamnya letaknya sangat strategis diantara aksi - atraksi, pantai, restoran dan toko-toko yang jaraknya hanya selemparan batu.

Saat matahari terbenam, perubahan mulai tampak, semua mata tertuju ke cakrawala yang perlahan-lahan menelan sang surya jingga menakjubkan.

Kemudian tenang menghanyutkan, beberapa orang memanjakan diri mereka dengan minuman happy hour yang disuguhkan oleh cafe - cafe hampir disepanjang pantai mulai dari Kuta hingga Canggu. Bukan hanya pantai yang berubah. Seiring dengan pohon-pohon kelapa dan surfing, merupakan campuran dari hotel-hotel berbintang, butik villa dan losmenlosmen (yang tidak perlu menghabiskan banyak uang).

tables that may make you look a mite more pro than your performance with the 10-pins. And you can stay at the KUTA STATION HOTEL & SPA and never be far from the action – no excuses – the beach, the DJs, the restaurants, the shops they’re all no more than five minutes away.

There’s Discovery Mall – you might say what a shame, but the crowds there show that the modern traveler wants what malls provide – fast food! Starbucks, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC – the names are there just like back home except this Mall looks like the Parthenon recreated, right on the beach – Kuta Beach.

Shops, shops, shops, and more shops! They will no doubt lure you in and make you look like you’re part of the surf scene – T shirts, sneakers, board shorts and sunglasses – as Stephen Tyler (Arrowsmith) on American Idol said ‘looking cheap was never so expensive’. And if you want “equipment” like surfboards, fins, boogie boards there’s an endless supply – you may not be able to surf like Kelly Spater but with a board under your arms on Kuta beach – the kudos will be all yours! Outlets like Billabong, Rip Curl, Surfer Girl, Oakley and Volcom will most definitely attract you or your kids!

As the sun goes down, the scene changes and all eyes peer out to the horizon to catch a designer sunset. Then there’s a lull between sets. Many indulge in happy hour drinks as they prepare for a night on the Kuta sunset strip – a strip that stretches in an arc from the runway extension jutting out into the Indian Ocean right down to the Canggu breaks. It was never just another beach but it has changed. Along with the coconut trees and classic surf breaks, it’s an amalgam of 5-star hotels, boutique villas and an array of budget losmens (you still don’t have to spend a fortune).

Ada Discovery Mall - Anda mungkin mengatakan sayang, tapi banyak orang yang mengunjungi tempat ini. Para pelancong modern menginginkan mal yang menyediakan - Starbucks, Burger King, Billabong - rasanya sama seperti kembali ke rumah kecuali Mall ini terlihat seperti Parthenon, yang letaknya tepat di tepi pantai Kuta.

Shopping, shopping dan terus shopping! Mereka tidak segan-segan akan memikat Anda dengan t-shirt, sepatu, celana pendek, tas, kaca mata hitam - seperti Stephen Tyler (Arrowsmith) di American Idol yang kelihatannya murah tetapi mahal. Jika Anda menginginkan peralatan Surfing, seperti papan surfing, fin, boogie board dan lainnya - walaupun mungkin kamu belum mahir berselancar seperti Kelly Spater tetapi dengan papan selancar dibawah lengan - kamu tampak seperti pro. Outlet seperti Billabong, Rip Curl, Surfer Girl, Volcom Oakley sudah pasti akan menarik perhatian Anda atau anak-anak Anda!

Dan Anda dapat melakukan semua hal di atas tanpa harus naik mobil atau naik sepeda motor. Dari Legian terhampar pantai yang indah menawarkan berbagai macam aktivitas yang Anda bisa pilih.

Looking for a taxi?

And you can do all of the above without ever having to ride in a car or hop on a motor bike. From Legian to the airport reef there’s a great beach that is a thoroughfare taking you to the smorgasboard of activities that is Kuta.

Jika Anda ingin persembunyian yang indah dan sempurna pergi ke pulau Pacific atau Tasmania, untuk menikmati kesendirian Anda. Kuta adalah untuk orang yang ingin bersosialisasi dengan orang-orang.

If you want that perfect idyllic hideaway go to Easter Island or Tasmania, and enjoy your solitude. Kuta is for people who want to be with people.

Nikmatilah.

Enjoy.

You hear that gone are the days when you beg, borrow or steal a surfboard to try and teach yourself how to surf – besides that takes a long time …. And you discover that one of the best and safest ways to learn is to attend learn-to-surf-classes at a recognised surf school using accredited instructors and the best equipment available.

With a few lessons you too can feel the excitement and sensation of surfing.

Let your

imagination loose

As with most people, the image in your mind of Bali had always been a place of incredible beauty, of fantastic scenery, a place of unique arts and culture and a place offering a range of incredible and exciting things to do while on your holiday.

The beauty of its white sand and the cleanliness of the beach continue to bring back tourists year after year. But it’s only now that you discover there’s something far better and more interesting than swimming in the Kuta beach waves or sunbathing on its sand - SURFING! “It really is like flying”, says Aussie, Kelly-Ann from Queensland “and it’s not as difficult as your imagine, it’s fun”.

Why surf?

Go

Odysseys Surf School with its office located at the Mercure Hotel Arcade just across the road from the beach at Kuta is one of the best and has the perfect location for learning to surf where the waves break nicely in waist deep water onto a white sandy ocean floor.

SENGGIGI revisited Alan Brayne story updated by The Agency Photos by various sources

Seorang Novelis dan pernah tinggal di Lombok, Alan Brayne, menemukan kembali daya tarik tersembunyi Senggigi - merupakan tempat bagi orang yang memiliki ide berpetualang untuk menguji cocktail lokal dengan namanya yang unik

Novelist and former Lombok resident, Alan Brayne, rediscovers the hidden allure of Senggigi – it’s a place for ‘real people’ whose idea of adventure is testing a local cocktail with a dodgy name

TransNusa | Inflight Magazine | May - Jun 2010 | 17

Saya benci kepada para guide yang dengan sepenuh hati mereka selalu bercerita tentang petualangan super yang menghabiskan waktu mereka untuk menelusuri pegunungan, mengembangkan pemahaman lintas-budaya dan melakukan olahraga energik. Mengapa tidak ada buku pedoman untuk orang seperti saya? Seorang yang memiliki ide berpetualang dengan hanya menguji cocktail lokal dengan namanya yang unik. Buku bagi para turis malas; yang hanya ingin menghabiskan waktunya dibawah sinar matahari dan menikmati minuman dingin memabukkan.

I hate most tourist guides with a vengeance.

They’re always written for superhuman adventurers who spend their holidays scaling mountains, developing cross-cultural understanding and doing energetic sports, whilst picking up a smattering of the language along the way. Why are there never any guidebooks for people like me? Real people whose idea of adventure is testing a local cocktail with a dodgy name. Books for the tourist as slob: sizzling in the sun and getting sozzled.

Jadi ketika saya mendapat kesempatan ke Senggigi untuk menulis tentang tempat ini, saya melompat kegirangan. Saya akan tinggal di sana selama enam bulan menyelesaikan novel saya, jadi saya belajar dari pengalaman sebelumnya tentang tempat yang bagus untuk mendedikasikan diri serta menghindari kerja keras. Saya bertekad akan menulis sebuah artikel perjalanan yang tidak akan menyebutkan Gunung Rinjani atau budaya lokal, tetapi memberi gambaran sebuah tempat untuk memanjakan diri serta bermalas-malasan dan mencicipi cocktail lokal.

So when I got the chance to go back to Senggigi and write about the place, I jumped at it. I’d lived there for six months writing my novel, so I knew from experience that there were few better places to dedicate one self to avoiding hard work. I determined I would pen a travel article which didn’t even mention Mount Rinjani or local culture, but gave the lowdown instead on the best places to get blotto.

The Senggigi sidewalk

18

| TransNusa | Inflight Magazine | May - Jun 2011

Any self-respecting slob must hang out in decent bars, of course, so the quality of the local watering holes is vital. Are they dark,

are they seedy and do they stay open late?

In Senggigi, yes, yes and yes. The most up market place – and we are not talking the Moulin Rouge here – was Tropicana, bang in the centre of town. This was where Lombok’s trendy young things used to strut their stuff on malam minggu – Saturday night. But there’s no need to worry – Lombok people aren’t that good at being trendy, so you won’t find yourself surrounded by the beautiful and terminally cool. Instead, you’ll meet a mixed bag of friendly young people who just want to have fun. Male and female. Indonesian and white. Gay, straight, and open to all comers.

So, if you prefer your nightclubs with a hint of decorum, Tropicana was a good way to ease yourself into the Senggigi scene. That was the way it used to be.

For all of the above, nowadays, Marina is the word.

Marina is probably and rightly Senggigi’s most famous bar. Razed to the ground in 2000, it has risen from the ashes to become (with admirable logic but scant imagination) the New Marina. I checked it out with a friend to find very little had changed.

Bagi saya seorang turis pemalas, lebih memilih nongkrong di bar-bar, tentu saja kualitas dari bar merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Apakah mereka gelap atau buka hingga larut malam?

Di Senggigi, ya, ya dan ya. Tempat yang paling berkelas saat itu Tropicana - kita tidak berbicara Moulin Rouge. Dulu terletak tepat di jantung Senggigi. Di sinilah hal-hal trendi di Lombok digunakan oleh para muda untuk menghabiskan malam minggu mereka. Jangan khawatir - orang Lombok sangat terbuka dengan orang asing, kamu akan menemukan anak muda ramah yang hanya ingin bersenang-senang. Laki-laki, perempuan, Indonesia, barat, gay, atau yang lurus, semua terbuka bagi siapa saja. Jadi, jika Anda suka denga club malam, Tropicana adalah tempatnya.

Untuk semua hal yang saya ceritakan diatas, saat ini bisa dinikmati di Marina Café.

Marina Café merupakan sebuah bar yang paling popular di Senggigi saat ini. Dimana sempat rata dengan tanah pada tahun 2000, yang kemudian dipugar kembali dengan wajah yang lebih modern. Saya mencoba datang ketempat ini bersama seorang teman untuk melihat secara langsung. Masih dengan suasana

Same atmosphere, same live band, same pirate uniforms for the staff, same opportunity (speaking euphemistically) for East to meet West. So just what is new about the place? Next door is new. The Sports Bar and billiard room – some of us just have to keep one eye on the football. If you’re looking for some spectator sports action, it’s the place to be – lounge lizards and couch potatoes like myself can’t find anywhere better – watching sport while still able to keep an eye on the dance floor……

Scraping the bottom of the barrel at the end of a long night, you may gladly be lured by the sheer magnetism of a last drink to Plaza Senggigi behind the early closing Happy Café that true to its namesake

Yang tampak berbeda adalah pintu, bar yang dilengkapi dengan layar datar menayangkan program olahraga serta ruang biliar – tampak beberapa dari pengunjung mata mereka tertuju pada pertandingan sepak bola yang sedang berlangsung. Jika Anda sedang mencari hal seperti itu, inilah tempatnya.

Manghabiskan sisa makanan dan minuman hingga tetes terakhir di Square, malam mulai menjelang, bak mahnet saya terpikat pada sebuah café diseberang jalan, mengapa tidak, seteguk lagi pikirku sebelum tidur. Happy Café, sesuai dengan namanya, merupan tempat bahagia dengan sekelompok musisi yang memainkan musik rock & roll, country, hingga pop. Dibelakang café ini tampak beberapa bar remang-remang dan kurang berkarakter.

Terdengar ledakan suara musik Indonesia dan barat dengan volume yang menyakitkan ketika melewatinya. Jika memasuki tempat ini, kamu akan menemukan bahwa dirimulah satusatunya orang asing yang ada di sini, tapi jangan khawatir, mereka tidak akan memojokkanmu

is a happy sort of place with a friendly bunch of Country/rock/pop musicians. In the Plaza celubrious establishments with different names are dingy, smoky and without charm or character (or air-conditioning), blasting out Indonesian and western house music at a painful volume. You’ll often find yourself the only foreigner there, but don’t worry, the locals won’t pin you down and practice their English. They’re probably too far out of their skulls to even notice you’re there. They are the kind of place you turn up at when anywhere seems more attractive than going home. As such, it’s generally the very last place in town to close. I’m not sure I’d recommend them, but, if you’re a serious clubber, you’re sure to end up there at some stage.

Health freaks delight in telling us, between mouthfuls of muesli and vegi burgers, how all that late-night drinking can play havoc with our health, especially on an empty stomach.

Fair enough, I guess – I don’t know about you, but I’ve got nothing against eating. On the contrary. I believe good food is an essential part of being a slob. Dining out is where

dan memaksamu untuk melatih bahasa Inggris mereka. Mereka mungkin terlalu menikmati sehingga tidak menyadari bahwa dirimu ada di sana. Tempat seperti ini mungkin yang lebih menarik dari pada kembali pulang. Yang mana pada umumnya tempat terakhir di kota ini yang tutup. Saya tidak yakin saya akan merekomendasikan kepada mereka, tetapi, jika kamu seorang clubber sejati, saya yakin kamu akan berakhir ditempat ini.

Pakar kesehatan sering mengatakan, antara bubur gandum dan burger vegetarian, serta bagaimana pengaruh minuman dapat menimbulkan efek buruk terhadap kesehatan terutama di saat perut kosong. Cukup adil saya kira – saya tidak tahu dengan Anda, Dan saya tidak menentang makanan. Sebaliknya, saya percaya makanan merupakan bagian penting dari bermalas-malasan. Santap malam untuk menikmati kelezatan serta keunikan yang disuguhkan oleh sebuah restauran lokal, dimana kita dapat bersosialisasi dan bercengkrama.

Restoran terbaik di Senggigi - setidaknya di luar hotel - adalah Square. Letaknya tepat di pusat Senggigi, memiliki reputasi yang bagus, terutama dengan makanannya. Café Alberto dengan home made pastanya, memiliki tempat yang strategis untuk merayakan pesta Anda - mereka selalu berpesta - merupakan tipe saya. Atau Lotus by View – menyuguhkan makanan khas Italia/ Australia dengan bir dan obrolan yang menyenangkan dengan Maurizio yang selalu bersedia mendengarkan dan didengarkan.

Jika Anda hanya ingin tinggal dekat dengan air dan restaurant di Senggigi, hanya bersantai tanpa harus beranjak kemana-mana, untuk mempersiapkan diri diesok hari, The Sentosa Villas & Resort hanya beberapa menit dari itu semua. Yang perlu Anda lakukan adalah bersantai dikolam renang dengan menikmati ‘Kelapa Muda Cocktail’ atau mencicipi pilihan menu masakan Indonesia dan International yang disediakan oleh Seaside Restaurant. Jika itu masih kurang, selalu ada The Gili Lounge, di mana Anda dapat bersantai setelah sibuk disiang hari!

Berkendara sekejap ke Holiday Resort Lombok dengan beraneka ragam pilihan makanan. Hanya di sebelah utara Senggigi yaitu Mangsit, Resort ini menawarkan suasana yang menawan dengan pemandangan pantai yang luar biasa, Anda dapat

the unrespectable habit of getting legless mingles with the connoisseur delight in fine cuisine. Where slobbery meets snobbery, so to speak.

The most celubrious restaurant in Senggigi – at least outside the hotels – is generally reckoned to be Square. It’s smack in the centre of town and merits its reputation by and large, especially as far as the food is concerned. It’s fine, fine dining with imported meats and designer dishes. For more continental eating, but with a to-die-for setting overlooking the beach, try Café Alberto which has home - made pasta and doubles as a great venue for celebrations - they are always partying - my type of people. Or try Lotus comfort food a la Aussie/ Italy with plenty of beer, lots of idle chatter and host, Maurizio - there’s always someone willing to listen or be listened to.

If you want to stay close to the watering holes and cookhouses of Senggigi, yet be able to seek some respite in order to live another day, The Sentosa Villas & Resort is just a few minutes away from it all. All you need do is hang out by the pool close to your own cocktail bar and perhaps try the ‘Young Coconut Cocktail or slip over to the Seaside restaurant with its selection of fine Indonesian favorites. If that is not enough there is always The Gili Lounge where you can unwind after a busy day or night!

Relaxed dining at Holiday Resort, Mangsit

menghabiskan waktumu dengan hanya berbaring di sebuah pondok, dan menikmati bir dingin dibawah hangatnya matahari. Tidak banyak penjaja souvenir ke daerah ini, sehingga Anda hampir tidak pernah terlihat lagi.

Hamburger yang dibuat dengan daging sapi impor, steak super kaya variasi, prasmanan bertema; Lombok, Jawa atau Bali menunggu siapa pun yang ingin mencicipi “masakan lokal” dilakukan demi kenyamanan pengunjung.

Dimana Anda dapat mengenalinya sebelum, sebelum benar-benar mencoba pedasnya masakan Lombok yang terkenal itu.

Akhirnya, timbulah pertanyan? Mengapa ke Senggigi ketika Anda bisa pergi ke Bali? Banyak orang mengatakan bahwa Bali memiliki banyak pilihan klub dan bar, belum lagi restorannya. Yah, saya tahu ini mungkin terdengar klise, namun Senggigi untuk semua. Semua orang berbicara dengan Anda di sini, bukan hanya karena mereka ingin menjual sesuatu, tetapi karena mereka benar-benar ingin bercengkrama. Saya tidak tahu mengapa Senggigi sangat ramah. Mungkin karena tempat itu benar-benar multikultural - Sasaks asli, Bali, Jawa, penduduk putih lokal, masyarakat dari seluruh Indonesia - semua orang campuran untuk menciptakan suasana indah.

Dan akhirnya, bermalasan bukan hanya sekedar untuk minum dan makan – in tentang hubungan yang menyenangkan. Senggigi sangat ramah mungkin karena masih relatif baru – sehingga tidak ada waktu untuk letih.

Di Senggigi sulit untuk capek, bahkan waktupun terasa lambat.

Grill - The Santosa Villas & Resort

A short ride out of town is Holiday Resort with its selection of fine food outlets. Just north of Senggigi in Mangsit, the Resort offers a magnificent setting overlooking an empty beach where you can spend an entire afternoon alone, stretched out on a pondok, swilling down cold beers.

Not many hawkers get this far north, so you hardly ever see anymore.

Hamburgers made with imported beef, super steaks richly varied, theme buffets and ‘signature’ Lombok, Java and Bali dinners await anyone wanting to sample the “local cuisine” done to suit visitors. Where you can get your feet wet before jumping into the pool of chili filled and potentially lethal Lombok dishes.

Finally, the $ 64,000 question. Why go to Senggigi when you can go to Bali? Fans of the latter will point out that Bali has bigger choice of clubs and bars, not to mention better restaurants. Well, I know this might sound corny, but go to Senggigi for the people. Everyone talks to you here, not only because they want to sell you something, but because they genuinely like to chat. I don’t know why Senggigi is so friendly.

Maybe it’s because the place is truly multicultural – native Sasaks, Balinese, Javanese, local white residents, people from all over Indonesia – everyone mixes to create a wonderful atmosphere.

And, in the end, being a slob is not just about food and drink – it’s about good conversation and congenial company. Or maybe Senggigi is so friendly because it’s still a relatively new resort – not much more than ten years old – so the people haven’t had time to get jaded.

In Senggigi it’s very hard to be jaded, even as a time weathered slob.

Café Alberto

Relaxed beach-side dining Angin laut berhembus, deburan ombak terdengar, matahari terbenam tampak begitu dekat, serasa Anda dapat menyentuhnya membuat suasana relax dan romantis di restaurant ini.

Dari namanya, sudah jelas sebuah restaurant Italia. Tetapi jangan khawatir, jika Anda memiliki selera Asia, ada beberapa pilihan lain yang Anda dapat nikmati disini seperti sup Tom Yam serta hidangan Asia lain; lumpia, mie goreng dan nasi goreng juga ada.

Home-made pasta yang satu ini pasti ada. Ibarat laut tanpa garam sama seperti ibarat Italia tanpa pastanya.

Tampak bendera merah putih dan hijau pada menu - jadi cobalah pomodoro con ravioli - pasta yang didalamnya berisi bayam, disiram dengan saus tomat atau pilihan lain dari daging dan hidangan ikan - Café Alberto tepat ditepi pantai sudah tentu memiliki ikan segar.

The salty air, sea breezes, close proximity to the water, sunsets you can reach out and touch make for an atmosphere that spells kick back and relax, you’re where you should be and the ambience is tops.

The excellent food and service add to the pleasure of dining at Café Alberto.

There’s also home-made pasta – the owner is Italian and no Italian worth his salt would serve anything but the best pasta.

It’s definitely an Italian restaurant (the name) but don’t worry if you have Asian or other tastes in food. There’s superb Tom Yam soup and other Asian delights such as lumpia and all the other “gorengs” like mie and nasi (fried rice and fried noodles).

But it does sport the red white and green – so try the ravioli con pomodoro – filled pasta with tomato sauce and optional spinach or select from the meats and fish dishes – Café Alberto is as mentioned before right on the beach and the fish is as fresh as.

Untuk mengunjungi Café Alberto sangat mudah - ada layanan antar jemput! Jika Anda berada di Senggigi area.

Getting to Café Alberto is easy – there’s the pick-up service!

Dengan akses internet WiFi, makanan yang lezat dan suasana luar biasa merupakan tempat yang sempurna untuk bersantai dan bersantap.

With WiFi internet access, great food and superb atmosphere there’s nothing missing for that perfect relaxed beach-side dining.

Konsol ini dilengkapi juga dengan Sensor & sensor gerak Gyro, stylus Adjustable, cradle Pengisian, kontrol Analog, SpotPass (fitur yang memungkinkan 3DS Nintendo mendeteksi wireless hotspot atau jalur akses LAN dan memperoleh informasi, data game, free software dan videos).

Season starters Melbourne, Sepang and China show that 2011 may be the most interesting season yet After the first three races Vettel (two wins) and Webber (two podiums & best drive) appear to have resumed where they left off last season – up front and fast; BUT behind them there’s a lot of potential for change.

Hamilton and to a lesser extent Button appear a lot more competitive than they did last year, while Ferrari seem to be having problems.

What could bring about an exciting season is to see the Renaults with a bit more oomph as witnessed in two strong drives by Vitaly Petrov (3rd Melbourne) and Nick Heidfield (3rd Malaysia) and possibly – just possibly, signs of good things to come for Mercedes and their drivers, Rosberg and Schumacher.

Some say that the combination of KERS, movable wings and the new Pirelli tyres have somehow helped to keep the outcome of races open right up to the end – the Red Bull appear to have the fastest cars – Webber 18th to 3rd in China - but they can be overtaken as Hamilton proved in leaving Vettel in his dust in China.

| TransNusa | Inflight Magazine | May - Jun 2011

The Ferraris have been struggling and something is needed to spur the prancing horse on, but as in the past Ferrari seem to inevitably improve their performances – it will be nice to see if the much improved Massa can stay with Alonso on the track.

Everyone’s talking about the black Renaults – they ‘look’ the meanest most intimidating team and with two fairly uncompromising drivers might just muscle their way to a few wins. The Mercedes team of Rosbergh and Scumacher may slowly be coming to life with Rosbergh leading for a lot of the way in China and Schumacher prominent at last in many of the midfield duels – with Ross Brawn at the helm it’s hard to think they wont soon be competitive.

Belongas Bay

Sepi - Belongas Bay Story by The Agency Photos by DiveZone / Michael Tan

Pantai selatan Lombok yang indah dengan zona menyelam yang spektakuler Lombok’s quiet south coast getaway and spectacular dive zone Dengan banyaknya informasi tentang tujuan berlibur menjadi penuh sesak dengan lalu lintas serta banyaknya pengunjung, salah satu tujuan di Lombok, teluk Sepi, mungkin telah mencuri minat beberapa wisatawan yang mempromosikan diri mereka sebagai tempat yang sepi - karena ‘Sepi’ sendiri berarti tenang.

With all the news these days of holiday destinations becoming overcrowded with too much traffic and noisy vistors, one of Lombok’s destinations, Sepi, may have stolen the jump on other places that might want to promote themselves as being quiet – because ‘sepi’ itself means quiet or still and that’s what it is.

Pertama kali mendengar nama teluk Sepi dari seorang tukang listrik. Dia bercerita bahwa setiap hari Minggu, waktunya dihabiskan untuk memancing di Teluk Sepi. Gambaran yang diberikannya tentang keindahan teluk Sepi sangat menggelitik keinginan saya untuk mengunjunginya.

I had first heard of Sepi from an electrician who every Sunday went fishing at a place called Sepi bay and the picture he painted of the place more than inspired me to want to see for myself what it was like - it really aroused my curiousity – a place off the beaten that may still be free of crowds.

Perjalanan menuju Teluk Sepi pun segera kami rencanakan, seperti biasa, perjalanan kami gunakan sebagai acara piknik keluarga di hari Minggu dengan menggunakan mobil dan peta Lombok ditangan, kami berangkat keselatan menuju Lembar, tepat seperti tukang Listrik sarankan. Dari Lembar kami terus melaju menuju Sekotong (area baru di pantai barat daya Lombok).

Tetapi setibanya di persimpangan, kami berbelok ke kiri dan menuju daerah pedalaman - kami melintasi bagian selatan Lombok dan menurut perhitungan saya, bila kita terus melanjutkan perjalanan yang akhirnya akan

An expedition needed to be organized – a perfect opportunity for a Sunday family picnic and so in the car and with map in hand we set off south towards the port of Lembar, a place according to our electrician, not far from Sepi. From Lembar we made our way towards Sekotong (area of new develoment on Lombok’s south west coast) but at a three-way intersection instead of turning right and following the coast we turned left and headed inland – we were obviously traversing the southern

tiba di pantai selatan Lombok - merupakan wilayah liar dan pantai berbatu.

Jalan beraspal membawa kami melalui hutan yang menyediakan panorama indah menakjubkan yang kemudian perlahan-lahan tampak biru laut dan pantai semakin mendekati kita. Setelah dua jam perjalanan, kami tiba di teluk yang indah dan tampak beberapa perahu kecil berlabuh siap menghatar kesisi lain pulau itu.

Perjalanan melintasi lautan biru yang indah dari teluk itu sangat menyenangkan saat kami melihat ke air – biru bebas dari sampah plastik dan sampah lainnya yang sering kita jumpai di pantai-pantai. Pantai di daerah ini sangat bersih serta berpasir putih, hal lainnya adalah tidak terlalu banyak pengunjung. Disini kita masih dapat bersantai, berjalan menyusuri pantai tanpa gangguan para penjual cendramata.

Sumber pendapatan utama masyarakat di Lombok Selatan ini adalah sebagai seorang nelayan dan petani mutiara (Lombok Selatan adalah pengekspor utama mutiara di Indonesia). Saat itu bertepatan dengan pasang surut, tampak perempuan dan anak-anak berlomba-lomba mengumpulkan kerang, kepiting dan “harta karun” lainnya dari laut. Hari minggu bukan hanya hari libur saya. Tetapi merupakan “hari libur” bagi masyarakat Indonesia, tampak beberpa keluarga sedang asik bermain dengan anak-anak mereka menikmati udara dan air di pantai. Tidak lama kemudian, kami telah bergabung dalam kegembiraan dan tertawa bersama mereka.

Daerah ini dihuni oleh hanya segelintir penduduk lokal - mungkin 300 jiwa - sebagian besar adalah nelayan. Diseberang teluk, ada sebuah akomodasi bagi para traveler – The Belongas Bay Lodge, merupakan satu-satunya tempat untuk tinggal dan letaknya sedikit tersembunyi. Lodge ini terdiri dari tiga kamar tidur terbuat dari kayu serta memiliki fasilitas lengkap

portion of Lombok island and my reckoning told me if we continued on we would eventually arrive somewhere on Lombok’s south coast – a wild and rocky area of coastline.

The windy but nicely paved road took us through forests that encroached from all sides and over hills that provided a beautiful panorama exploding in our faces that clearly showed ocean and beach in the distance. After the journey of about two hours we arrived at the shore of beautiful bay from where small boats made the crossing to the other side.

The journey across the beautiful blue waters of the bay was relaxing as we looked into the deep below – free of the plastics and other waste from tourism found so often in the waters of our archipelago. Even though the clean white sandy beaches are amongst the best on Lombok, you will not find many travelers. Here it’s still possible to take relaxing walks along the beach without meeting annoying sellers trying to sell their watches, necklaces and so on.

The inhabitants’ main source of income in South Lombok is fishing and pearl farming (South Lombok’s pearl farms are the main exporter of quality pearls in Indonesia).

It was low tide, and women and children were collecting clams, crabs and other “treasures of the sea”. Sunday not only my day off. It’s the traditional “off day” for the Indonesian community, and other families with their children were enjoying and playing at the beach. It wasn’t long before we had joined in the fun and were laughing along with them.

The area is inhabited by only a handful of locals – possibly 300 - mostly fishermen. Over on the other side of the bay Across the bay there is some

Divers

untuk kebutuhan anda selama berlibur. Teras yang untuk bersantai setelah menyelam, dan teluk berpasir putih untuk berenang!

Teluk Sepi atau Teluk Belongas dikenal dengan tempat-tempat menyelam spektakuler, seperti “magnet” lokasi ini memiliki banyak sekali terumbu karang serta ikan baik itu kecil hingga ikan besar! Sekelompok ikan makarel, rainbow runner, tuna, dan barakuda akan menemani penyelaman Anda, sementara Anda menyelam, Anda juga akan menemukan Hiu martil. Hiu putih dan hiu karang cukup umum terlihat diperairan ini. Saya mencoba bersnorkling, kemudian ada peringatan – hanya untuk para penyelam berpengalaman saja!

Tempat menyelam lainya di Belongas Bay juga cocok bagi para penyelam pemula dan Anda akan melihat keindahan alam bawah laut yang menegangkan dan menakjubkan. Oh iya sekelompok ikan pari juga ada disini.

Teluk Sepi merupakan tempat yang tenang dan cocok untuk menanggalkan kesibukan dan rutinitas sehari-hari, di sinipula Anda dapat melakukan kegiatan olahraga yang agak ekstrim. Dengan ini apakah Sepi akan tetap sepi seperti namanya?

Satu hal yang pasti, ada banyak pilihan untuk dijelajahi – yang cukup untuk beberapa Minggu lagi.

How to get there

accommodation available for travellers – the Belongas Bay Lodge is the only place to say and is nestled in the protected bay. The lodge is made up of three comfortable and tastefully furnished teakwood bungalows. The terrace invites you to enjoy a relaxed post dive evening, and the bay offers pristine beaches for swimming and relaxing!

Teluk Sepi or Belongas Bay as it is otherwise known is famous for its dive sites such as “The Magnet“ which is a pinnacle in the open sea with challenging conditions and big fish action! Schools of mackerel, rainbow runner, tuna and barracuda accompany your dive, while you are on the lookout to spot the hammerheads. White-tip and black-tip reef sharks are fairly common, but on occasion you can also see the one or other pelagic shark around the pinnacle. But as I got my snorkel out of a back pack I was warned - Experienced divers only!

The other dive sites in Belongas Bay are very suitable for the less experienced divers and await you with breathtaking coral reefs and an abundance of underwater life. I was told you can find it all.

While Sepi reflects quiet and the layback life, it is also a jump-off point for some relaivley extreme sports activities. With this in mind I wonder if Sepi will continue to be “sepi”!!!

One thing for sure, there is a lot to explore – enough for a few more Sundays.

Mutasi dari satu kegiatan jalan-jalan, berbelanja dan sinar matahari ke parade dan pertunjukan sekarang dibutuhkan, merupakan upaya yang cukup berhasil untuk menangkap pasar dengan pertunjukan yang mengagumkan. Pertunjukan sangat dibutuhkan layaknya seperti kita membutuhkan WiFi.

Las Vegas has Caesar’s Palace, Paris has Folies Beger, Australia’s Gold Coast has Warner’s Bros, LA and now Singapore have Universal Studios with their shows.

To satisfy the growing penchant of holiday makers for ‘enertainment spectacular’ while on vacation “extras” are now de rigeur. Something you “must see” has now become an integral part of the destination – and we’re not talking Eiffel Tower or Tower of London!. The mutation from one-dimensional activities and shedding the skin of sightseeing, shopping and sunshine to parades and performances is now necessary if a destination is to capture the market of travellers used to the awe inspiring. They insist on more for their money. It’s as needed as WiFi. Cue for Bali. It’s showtime.

Saatnya untuk Bali.

Sambutlah Regalia – hutan ajaib - timing yang sempurna, peran telah dilatih dan panggung telah diatur.

Come in Regalia – the enchanted forest - the timing is perfect, the roles have been rehearsed and the stage is set.

Bali is soon to have a lavish extravaganza of its own.

Bali akan segera memiliki ekstravaganza mewah sendiri.

Regalia, the Enchanted Forest – merupakan satu-satunya pertunjukan akrobat di Indonesia, menampikalkan 10 dari 20 penampilan terbaik dari Cirque Du Soleil dan lebih dari 30 karakter etnik. Para pemain di acara ini merepakan pemain-pemain akrobatik yang telah melakukan pertunjukan di Nevada (Las Vegas), California dan Florida, juga telah melakukan pertunjukan dengan Aerosmith, Prince, Sarah McLachlan, Cindy Lauper, Jason Mraz, The Black Eyed Peas dan DJ Tiesto - mereka dianggap sebagai pemain akrobat terbaik Dunia.

Selain para akrobat yang berbakat, produser acara ini pernah terlibat dengan desainer Swiss terkemuka Orlando Bassi (yang mendesign kostum di film Lord of the Rings, 10.000 BC , Legend of the Seeker, dll) dan perusahaan inilah yang menciptakan kostum yang menakjubkan, topeng dan rambut palsu, serta special kostum untuk penari api yang dikreoagrafikan oleh Jerome “Jay” Maurel dari Xtreme Productions yang mewah dan ringan bagi para penari.

“Sirkus ini akan hadir” yang dahulu kita menyaksikan parade mengelilingi kota untuk mengumumkan kehadiran mereka. Pertunjukan kuda terlatih, beruang menari, gajah, dan singa serta beberapa pertunjukan menarik yang nyata, yaitu para pemain manusia: akrobat, pelempar pisau, berjalan dan berayun di tali yang menegangkan dan masih banyak lagi.

Saat ini berbeda, suatu pertunjukan yang dramatis dipadu dengan seni sirkus yang spektakuler, lahirlah Cirque du Soleil – minus hewan dan lebih menonjolkan pertunjukan akrobat yang luar biasa dalam produksinya Regalia!.

Regalia – The Enchanted Forest An Acrobatic Theatre Extravaganza

“The international cast of fifty-two eclectic and awe-inspiring acrobatic performers, dancers and characters reaches out and enchants the audience with this powerful seventy minute theatrical encounter, moving all senses and touching all emotions in a new form of sensuality-blending movement, style, acrobatics, elaborate costumes and beautiful bodies the insistent pulse of South East Asia rhythms.

World class performers, awe-inspiring aerial acts, beautiful musical score and jaw dropping costumes.

Premiere and Gala Event Saturday – May 14th, 2011 Two shows every week (May to December 2011) www.balisafarimarinepark.com www.rainingheart.com | www.balitheatre.com

“Regalia, The Enchanted Forest” - currently the ONLY fully realized professional acrobatic show in Indonesia, featuring twenty+ top Cirque Du Soleil performers and an additional supporting cast of over thirty ethnic characters. The headlining acrobatic performers have all previously worked at the premier Cirque Du Soleil shows in Nevada (Las Vegas), California and Florida, and have performed with Aerosmith, Prince, Sarah McLachlan, Cindy Lauper, Jason Mraz, The Black Eyed Peas and DJ Tiesto - they are considered the finest acrobatic performers in the World.

In addition to the acrobatic talent, the producers have engaged world renowned Swiss designer Orlando Bassi (Lord of the Rings, 10.000BC, Legend of the Seeker etc.) and his Special FX company to create stunning costumes, masks and wigs, as well as the French Fire-dance specialist Jerome “Jay” Maurel of Xtreme Productions for a “live-fire” choreography and an extravagant LED-light costume design for some of the principal and supporting characters.

“The circus is coming to town” was once the excited cry heralding the arrival of a circus. Pre baby boomers (born between 1930 and 1945) will tell you there was nothing more exciting. They will tell you their first trip to the circus was different than anything experienced before or after. That circus used to have trained horses, dancing bears,

Anda akan melihat akrobat dan pertunjukan udara yang menakjubkan dengan hanya menggunakan tali, keseimbangan tangan, liuk, penari api, pemain berayun di awan, bungee, flying silks dan masih banyak lagi akrobat di udara yang diimbangi dengan lampu dan efek khusus menghasilkan pertunjukan yang spektakuler.

Tidak ada yang berubah, kecuali pertunjukan hewan telah digantikan dengan manusia super – seorang bintang yang dapat berputar dengan hanya menggunakan gigi mereka, seorang dengan tubuh elastis menyerupai karet, dan lain-lainnya yang terbang di udara seolah-olah memiliki sayap.

Pengunjung menginginkan sesuatu yang menunjukkan sebuah tujuan - dalam kunjungan ke Paris kita bersikeras pada sesuatu yang berbau Perancis, baik itu tarian Can Can atau Les Folies Berger. Perjalanan ke London, mungkin kami ingin menyaksikan konser atau pertandingan sepakbola - demikian juga kunjungan ke Bali kita menginginkan suguhan yang berbau Bali “Indonesia “ - dan untuk mewujudkan itu semua, maka dikemaslah suatu pertunjuakan luar biasa oleh para produser berpengalaman dan pemain bertaraf International untuk membuat pementasan ini.

Sebuah kisah cinta dari Hutan Memikat di Regalia – yang menceritakan jalinan cinta antara dua dunia yang berbeda antara manusia dengan dunia Spiritual yang seimbang dan harmonis yang selalu ada dalam cerita rakyat tradisi Indonesia , namun diinterpretasikan dengan cara yang lebih modern dan menarik.

elephants and lion tamers as well as the real exciting stuff, the human performers: acrobats, knife throwers, jugglers, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists and more.

It is now no wonder that the most famous and dramatic mix of circus arts is called the Cirque du Soleil – minus animals and significantly providing much of the performing and production capacity of Regalia!

You’ll see acrobats and stunning aerial performances on trapeze, hand balancing, contortion, fire dancers, performers swinging from the clouds, bungee adaptions, flying silks, trapezes and many aerial performaces that defy the imagination in mesemerising lights and special effects.

Nothing has changed except that animals have been replaced by super humans – stars that can cling to a rope by their teeth, others whose bodies resemble rubber puppets and others that fly through the air as if with wings.

Visitors want material that is indicative of the destination – on a visit to Paris we might insist on something distinctly French, be it Can Can or Les Folies Berger. A trip to London and we will probably want a concert or see a football match – so too a visit to Bali will demand a performance that is “Indonesian in essence” – and embodies the very soul of Indonesian culture however drawing on all the

Para pemain internasional dengan kemampuan yang beraneka ragam dan penampilan akrobat udara yang menakjubkan, dilengkapi dengan penari dan musisi akan memikat emosi para penonton dengan alur cerita, gaya, akrobat, kostum yang memukau dengan belaian melodi indah irama Asia Tenggara. Musik telah ditulis oleh komposer terkenal Joshua Penman dan HP Heckmann serta koreografer oleh pakar tari Bali I Nyoman Sura, telah siap menghibur Anda.

Jadi jangan ketinggalan, Sirkus akan datang!

experience and knowledge of its producers and performers straight from the tried and tested international stage.

A romantic love story set in the surreal and mystical environment of the Enchanted Forest of Regalia - a moving tale of the intricate intertwining between the Human World and Nature’s creatures and the delicate balance and harmony with the ever present Spiritual World as told in Indonesian folklore tradition, yet interpreted in a new and exciting modern way.

The international cast of forty-seven eclectic and awe-inspiring acrobatic performers, dancers and musicians reaches out and enchants the audience with this powerful sixty minute theatrical encounter, moving all senses and touching all emotions in a new form of sensuality blending movement, style, acrobatics, elaborate costumes and beautiful bodies with the sensual caress of beautiful melodies and the insistent pulse of South East Asian rhythms. The original musical score has been written by internationally renowned composers Joshua Penman and H.P. Heckmann and choreographed by the Balinese Master of Movement I Nyoman Sura.

The circus is coming to town!
