Team’s Note

Last month we drove miles to the western tip of Bali to the bushes of the Bali Barat National Park and did some serious walking and climbing on the other edge of the island.

If our muscles didn’t hurt enough already, we went way

up high to the top of a hill in Candidasa where we attended a rare Balinese Hindu ceremony the next day.

We continued our journey to the Mangrove Forest on the Kuta-Sanur bypass, where we had a wonderful walk under the soothing shades of

the mangrove trees on the sides of the boardwalks.

After that, we visited the limestone hill of Jimbaran

and paid a visit to the dramatic cultural park of Garuda Wisnu Kencana.

Finally, it was time to relax…and we headed to the oasis

in the heart of Kuta that is called Waterbom Bali, where we had splashes of fun. We continued pampering ourselves that

night with fine Greek-Mediterranean cuisine at the Pantarei restaurant in Seminyak. We also would like to congratulate Mr. Obama for marking another line in history the as newly-elected, first AfricanAmerican president of USA; our Mr. Bartele of Bugils Bali is here to tell you some more about it. Well, enough from us for the time being. It is your turn now to get busy exploring the island. You might want to save up some energy though, for we will show you more excitements in the coming edition! Have fun!

VICTORY FOR INDONESIA The 1st Asian Beach Games in Bali was concluded last October 26 with Indonesia on the top rank awarding the country 23 gold medals, 8 silvers and 20 bronzes. This sporting event meant to “Inspire the World” was a remarkable success and have received praises from around the world. International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) congratulated the Indonesian Olympic Committee on the successful delivery of the Olympic spirit to Indonesia and the island of Bali.

This first Asian Beach Games also leaves a lasting legacy on the island and throughout Indonesia. At the 27th OCA General Assembly last October 21, the Council declared that the flame for all future Asian Beach Games will originate from the eternal flame at Mrapen in central Java, Indonesia.

The flame will be relayed to Bali then on to the host city.

Bali goes political

Big banners of the 1st Asian Beach Games and Kuta Karnival may now have been taken out from the major streets of Bali. Yet, the coming Indonesian general election held next year still paints Bali with many colors of the flags of parties taking part in this nation-wide political event. The little flags displayed on sides of Bali’s major streets may not really grabbing the attention of the passers by, but the huge ones put on many smaller streets on the island are for sure the can’t-miss even from quite a distant.

This local fare could come to immediate rescue when your tummy starts yearning to be fed. Why? Because it’s simple and fast. Yep, we’re talking about Gorengan, which literally means fried things. Tahu isi (stuffed tofu), tempe (bean curd), pisang (banana), singkong (cassava) and ubi (sweet potato) are all wrapped with flour and dip-fried in a big wok flooded with boiling oil. These golden offerings are only snacks, thus will only do a little ‘tickle’ in your belly; although the stuffed tofu and bean curd are commonly used as side dish for rice.

Yes, these coupled fishers usually go fishing at night when they could always leave the fishhooks and wait ‘till a catfish bites the bait; until then, holding hands and wrapping them on each other’s waist would be nice. In other words, for these ‘fishermen’ the fish comes second, it’s the togetherness that counts the most.

National Park T

.his time, we squeezed our little Baru di Bali car in between the big trucks and buses traveling from Bali to Java on the two-way winding road leading western to the tip of Bali. Our car couldn’t really run though, as the slantways caused a little hard time for, especially, the fully-loaded trucks ahead of us to go on. Anyway, we didn’t mind at all queuing behind these big machineries, for we had a scenic drive along the way to enjoy.

- with a busy market and shops on the two sides of the central streets. ATM machines, money changer, internet cafe, post office and telecommunication shop are also provided in this area.

We left Kuta early in the morning at around seven and hit the main east-west road to Java. On the way, we passed Tabanan, a regency in western Bali, and went on through the downtown area which looks pretty much similar with any other large towns in the island

We finally entered Jembrana, a regency which probably is the most heterogeneous in Bali. The native Balinese living in this area do not all adhere to the Balinese Hindu, for some of them have converted to Catholicism and Protestantism.

The Mag

Moving forward to the western we encountered this magnificent view, where the greeneries of rice fields and mountains covered with coconut trees are blended with an ocean view on the background.

Moslem community is also considerably big in Jembrana. The natural scene in Jembrana is also varied, containing a large mountainous area, beaches and rice terraces. The sand on the beaches is mostly volcanic, hence black, and the rice terraces are probably some of the most beautiful ones on the island. Getting out of Jembrana, the road heading to the tip of the island is rather flat and not really that winding anymore. Two sides of the road are covered with bushes both parched and green. We could only guess then, but sign boards saying that “You are entering the West Bali National Park zone” confirmed that we were within the protected area of the national park. The West Bali National Park has multi-parted habitations including high forests, magnificent coral-fringed that are preserved as a wilderness zone and as a barrier against human settlements. The national park comprises almost 200,000 acres of wooded slopes, savannah, rainforest, monsoon forest, mangrove swamp and coastal flats, and is the only remaining natural habitat of the endangered Bali Starling (a soft, white bird that has a blue band around its eyes). It is also the home to 200 species of plants, mouse deer, barking deer, long-tailed macaques, civets, monkeys, wild boars, and the last of the island’s wild bull. More like a forest than a jungle, the national park offers exceptional walking and first class panoramas with complement to Bali’s sun and sea and even temple tourism. Probably best known and most visited are the excellent coral reefs surrounding the Menjangan Island, which has a spectacular marine life including brightly colored parrot fish, yellow back fusiliers, powder-blue surgeon fish, damsel fish, puffer fish, unicorn fish, barracuda and silvery jacks. Extensive reefs also surround the mainland; both sea and shore birds are abundant, with the most noticeable being the brown boobies and lesser frigate birds. Hawksbill turtles and 10-meter-long toothless whale sharks have also been sighted along the reserve’s north coast, as well as whales and dolphins that are migrating via Bali Strait. We ended our national park journey by visiting the Bali Tower within Menjangan Resort area where we could see boundless bird-eye’s view of the surrounding.

The Mag

The Mag • Bali Road Trip We went through a different route back home to Kuta. We took a random turn in a random intersection that headed us to another winding road passing some villages in the town of Negara. The breeze in this area was so cool that we let our car windows opened wide. Only one or two motorbikes were passing on the road that we took. The absence of many vehicles passing on the road made our car somewhat an attention grabber. Yep, everybody was looking at our car; and we could tell that they were pronouncing all the letters we have on the car. The funny thing is, we didn’t know where we were at the time. Luckily after driving for quite some time, we spotted the mile stones on the side of the road saying only three letters “SBT”, which stands for Surabarata, a village still within Negara area. Surabarata has a stunning view of cliffs with greeneries on the bottom that was so tempting that we decided to just park our car by the road side. We stepped down through a steep dirt path to the bottom where a river is running fresh mountainous water. The path was pretty slippery though, and we really don’t recommend you to do this if you are not accustomed with this kind of track without supervision of your guide or any other professional experts. Anyway, being on the bottom was really great: soaking your feet in the river and walking through the coconut trees. We also made a random stop at some rice terraces in the area, only to watch the farmers doing their things. It was surprisingly very entertaining and peaceful.

A high way to heaven Every two years in the tenth month (October), a special ritual called Nusaba Gumang c e r e m o n y takes place up in the peak of Gumang Hill, some four

kilometers east of Candidasa. On this day, the Balinese Hindus from four villages in the surrounding of the hill will make their way up around 400 meters above the sea level carrying offerings to the temple to worship their Gods and pay respect to their holy men. The roughly 2km steep, pebbled and dusty path surrounded by parched bushes leading to the hill’s peak will be full with the villagers from Ngis, Jasi, Bebandem and Bugbug. We were there last October 13 to join this religious activity and witness the thousands of Balinese Hindus as they went through a difficult track to reach Pura Gumang, a temple sited on the peak of the hill. Old men and women were struggling hard with the help of their canes, parents in heavy sweats carrying their little ones on their shoulders and in their arms. The uniqueness about Nusaba Gumang ceremony is the enormous number of suckling pigs offered. Each man, including the little boys, brought with him a suckling pig to be hung on frangipani trees within the temple’s compound, as a symbol of respect to Betara Gede Gumang, a holy man from the ancient time who meditated on this hill. “On this very spot (peak of Mount Gumang), Betara Gede Gumang saw a holy light from God and got the prophecy to meditate here,” Suwartika Nengah, a resident of Bugbug village told The Mag (TM). Nengah continued explaining, “After the meditation, escorted by people from the four villages, Betara Gede Gumang held a journey to Mount Tambora in East Nusa Tenggara. Once on that mountain, he was vanished and fused into a light before the villagers’ eyes. These villagers believed that he was merged with the divine one.” It was 3.10 pm when we finally could see the gate of the temple on the peak of Gumang. A number of priests greeted and sprayed us with holy water before we stepped into the temple’s area, where we could see that people were busy preparing all the ceremonial needs. What also amazed us was a quite long-stretched gazebo which at the time was turned into a kitchen. A lot of Balinese men were busy chopping pork meat to be served for people from the four villages on the next day. The interesting part of this activity was the rhythm of the chopping that somewhat in harmony with the melody from gamelan played on the opposite of the gazebo on a sided altar.

The Mag

Suddenly, some women, who we assumed to be in trance, started to dance in random movements and made crying sounds... We went to a spot where we could also enjoy the beautiful views of the sea, river, rice fields and villages with the mountains of Lempuyang and Seraya in the distance, when all of the sudden, a number of women, who we assumed to be in trance, started to dance in random movements and made some sounds (somewhat like crying, somewhat like in the state of high ecstasy). These women came out of nowhere in between the crowd; and with empty looks in their eyes, they headed to the gate of the temple.

The procession’s escorts were villagers with some carrying the village banners, dancing in trance and others were performing ngurek (stabbing themselves with keris or dagger on the chest). The whole procession group would then run around the altar three times as a respect to three elements: Shiva (the destroyer), Brahmana (the creator) and Vishnu (the caretaker). The Jempana from the four villages would then be clashed with one another, as a reconstruction of the dispute that occurred in the past between these villages.

From what we learned from the people around us, it turned out that, with no alarm or anything, these women ‘received’ a signal from below – the procession from one of the four villages had arrived in the hill and was heading up to temple. The procession was of several men altogether carrying Jempana, a decorated box wrapped with plain fabric. The Jempana itself is also believed to be ‘dwelled’ by spirits of their ancestors.

Everybody went berserk during the Jempana clashing, that five o’clock in the afternoon was pretty dark on Gumang since the dust, as the result of massive frictions from movements of the processions with the ground, was so thick covering the sun. Noises from the crowd somewhat created the atmosphere that a turbulence or chaotic state was going on. The clash ended when the procession from Bugbug village joined in.

The procession men were running non-stop from the village up to the temple, but not in a straight line though as the Jempana they were carrying seemed to be rather ‘rebellious’ or ‘excited’ that these men needed to struggle hard to control them. Several accidents had taken place in the past when the procession men couldn’t control what they were carrying and hit a couple of pilgrims causing broken legs and arms.

As we went down the hill at around seven in the evening, more and more pilgrims with their suckling pigs kept on coming to the peak of Gumang Hill. “It is something that we believe in and it brings us satisfaction if we could complete what we are obliged to do,” Nengah said to TM.

Everybody went berserk... The Mag

cultural park

Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is a cultural park that lies on a limestone plateau in Jimbaran. This park bears the statue of Hindu God, Vishnu, riding his mythical halfman and half-bird companion known as Garuda and showcases the art and culture of Bali along with dramatic natural backdrops and breathtaking panoramic views.

The two 25-meter natural limestone pillars comprising the Gapura Batu, at the entrance gate to the complex, are carved with images taken from the Ramayana, the mythical cycle of stories forming the dramatic basis of most Balinese art forms.

The still-on-construction statue of Vishnu is planned to reach the height of 146 m that will sit on top of an eleven-storey entertainment compound within the park; currently, only the head and torso of Vishnu, head of Garuda and Vishnuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands that have been completed and put in different areas in the park. This statue is to symbolize a harmonious relationship between human beings and the natural environment as well as the spiritual life of the Balinese people.

Numerous cafes and restaurants provide a full range of food and beverage services, from snacks and light meals to banquets ranging from Indonesian to international flavors served in appropriate public space. With little rainfall and open to fresh tropical breezes, GWK facilities are ideal have been used for numerous events like music concerts and fashion shows. Cultural performance like kecak dance is also regularly held on the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amphitheater that can hold up to 7,500 people.

GWK is also meant as the modern renderings of ancient traditions and spiritual pilgrimage, especially with the existence of a sacred spring from which flows water that is believed to cure diseases. The existence of this spring has no scientific explanation; thus, it has become a place of pilgrimage and meditation.

Walking around the park would include a lot of stair-climbing and probably take an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a couple of stops for a drink. However, the beautifully-tended water gardens in GWK would provide a scenic climb that can take away all the tiredness.

Cool down from the hot hot sun and have some fun, while you’re at it

It was a very flaming Friday afternoon in Bali when we were on our motorbikes and stuck in the traffic of Kuta - so hot that we could literally feel the sun scratching and gashing on our skin. Trapped on Jl. Kartika Plaza, we changed our mind going to relax on the beach and hit to Waterbom Bali instead – a modern day ‘water palace’ and an oasis in the heart of Kuta. Waterbom Bali Jl. Kartika po box 1055 - Tuban - Kuta t. 0361 755 676 f. 0361 758 243 Open from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Waterbom hosts many water attractions ranging from slides and rides that provide visitors with hours of guaranteed fun filled with both relaxing and even adrenaline-pumping activities. The slides and rides in Waterbom are built and maintained to strict international safety standards; thus ensuring risk-free twists and turns for

all of the visitors. Situated within 3.8 hectares of lush tropical 8 www.barudibali.com/waterbom-bali surroundings, visitors are also given the option to set their own 8 www.waterbom.com pace for a day of fun in the sun or relaxation under the shades. 30 The Mag

Amongst the attractions that would make your heart beats faster from excitements are the Smashdown and Boomerang. Smashdown is an eight-storey straight slide with a steep 60-degree angle that assures visitors a top 70 km per hour speed as they hit the slide and smash straight down. Boomerang, which is the latest addition in the park, twists the visitors down from 20m in the air and sweep them again straight up to catch the skies. These two attractions are, however, not suitable for those having any heart problems. For those lazy enough or don’t have the courage to hit the water on the bottom or get flown up in the air, Waterbom provides the Lazy River for a leisurely drift or a tranquil dip in the Pleasure Pool and its nearby thatched gazebos to catch a breath. Visitors can sit down and have a casual meal or grab a snack in the Food Court that offers Balinese favorites, Italian staples, French pastries, Indonesian delights and even gourmet hotdogs – which is perfect for those hungry for a culinary adventure. Once the tummy business is satisfied and the energy has been restored, then it’s time to get back to the playground and get a little dizzy from the twists and turns (and shouts) on the Raft River and Macaroni Tube. Visitors need to hold on tight to their tube raft as they wind their way through back-to-back curves and 360-degree turns on the Raft River. The Macaroni Tube is there for those craving for more twists and turns through the lush jungle of Waterbom where the trees hover above and around, elevating the thrills of the tropical wilderness adventure. Relaxing activities are mostly centered at the sunken tropical Splash Bar where the visitors can satisfy their thirst with many drinks available: blended, shaken or stirred. Waterbom’s Balinese therapists are also on standby at the Spa@Waterbom to give visitors’ bodies a little break through a full body aromatherapy massage.

MangroveForest

magine the canopy of leaves overhead is shading the boardwalk, absorbing the sunlight and breathing air, providing shades for comfortable walks. Just inside the bark of these trees, water is being slowly pumped through the trunk to the leaves where sunlight, air, water and some nutrients absorbed from the mud are converted to useful materials for the surrounding ecosystem.

A walk along the wooden boardwalk at the Mangrove

Forest on Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai provides greenery of mangrove trees. Be worried not, for there are a number of wooden shelters for everyone to rest including a couple of towers from where the visitors could enjoy the view of these vast swamps – little boards are also provided in these shelters to give the information about the various types of mangrove trees and the other species that live in the forest. It’s a perfect place for those who enjoy bird watching, or just to rest for a while after the walk. Mangrove trees produce enough plant materials to feed the hundreds of types of animals, large and small, which live or just visit the area. Visitors can also watch the various species of birds and mammals, including storks, kingfishers, and monitor lizards. It’s not surprising to see such a variety of marine species here, because the mangrove forest serves as a nursery ground, feeding ground, and spawning ground for many types of fish, shrimp and crabs. When the tide goes out, dozens of crabs can be seen scurrying along the ground, popping into holes and emerging again. Strange noises from the swamp would sometimes give an eerie setting, making you wonder where or what is the source of the noise. But again, this even makes a more perfect sense to spice up the ‘jungle adventure’ within the swamps area. The functions and benefits of the mangrove forests can no longer be ignored, and it is essential that we preserve them. Unfortunately, the area’s natural beauty is marred by certain people’s littering. The many problems that the forests face, such as trash and land conversion must be mitigated immediately, by raising public awareness.

JOEL, LOMBOK “Eeeehhaaaa” would be the shout-out accompanying the roaring sound of a red motorbike as it jumps out of the 45meter high tower in Double Six Club. This attention-grabber afternoon show is a courtesy of AJ Hackett Bali to entertain the crowd in Seminyak; and the man behind this so-called madness is Joel, a Jump Master originated from neighboring Lombok. Growing up in a pristine natural beauty of Central Lombok, one of Joel’s favorite activities as a child was to jump 15 meters into a river below in an area not very far from his parents’ house. “Yeah, I really loved it…especially when it was raining,” Joel told The Mag (TM), adding that, “The most exciting moment was probably when my body hit the water. It hurt a little though, but it was so much fun.” “I moved to Bali in 1995 in search for a new atmosphere. Lombok is very nice, but I just felt like I had to go out and Bali is the perfect place because it’s close from Lombok. So, every time I feel homesick, I could always go back home without any fuss,” Joel said to TM. This father of two admitted to TM that Bali provides him with all of the pleasurable aspects he needs. “I love clubbing and Bali has many clubs to go to. The best thing about it all is that these clubs are only a bike-ride away. Bali also has nice gyms. And it’s also because of Bali that I’m now into motorbike racing.” When asked about the plan on turning Lombok into the ‘second Bali’, Joel commented, “I don’t think Lombok would ever be like Bali. I mean, the two islands have different characteristics. I think it’s better to just leave Bali as the developed area; I think it would be best to keep Lombok ‘unspoiled’ so that it can be an alternative destination for tourists.”

REDSOUP The Red Soup had finally opened its doors last October 8th after being postponed for quite some time since February. Serving only mouthwatering red soup, The Red Soup is a specialized restaurant serving its customers with the recipe of family delicacy that has been passed for generations. The beef sausage, chicken, shrimp, smoked beef and meatballs, along with vegetables like broccoli and carrot all look very tempting dipped in red tomato soup. Choices of side dishes like white rice and crunchy bread come within the package, making the soup goes even more perfect. The setting of the restaurant itself is quite surprising. When you step in, you might feel like you are entering a food court: you will immediately face the cashier, make your order there and directly pay for it – even the kitchen is sited on the front part of the restaurant. But once you have passed the cashier, you will enter this calming, jazzy atmosphere eating area with many small-framed pictures hung on the wall. The restaurant’s convenient location on By Pass Ngurah Rai leading to Nusa Dua, only five-minute away from Ngurah Rai International Airport, makes The Red Soup an ideal spot to have a quick stop to wedge your tummy before adventuring Bali’s southern part like Jimbaran, Uluwatu and the surrounding areas or spending hours in flight.

pantarei S

et in a modern Greek interior with truly fine delicacies,

Pantarei (also known as Lio Restaurant) provides authentic Greek-Mediterranean cuisines within a pleasant restaurant environment - where customers could enjoy the food at its best. What is more, Pantarei definitely adds another color in the already-eclectic and chic Seminyak, as the only Greek restaurant in the area.

The Mag

The a la carte menu is vast and provides something for everyone as there are meat and fish dishes as well as vegetarian items on offer; but still pays the attention to quality, quantity and, of course, value for money. The drinks list is as varied as the food and offers a variety of beers, wines and spirits. No, we are not going to list down all the menu items here as there are many of them, but we will share with you with some of the appetizing fares we had the other night at Pantarei – which adds another line in our dining experiences. As we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly staff and a glass of orange juice for each person as the compliment. We didn’t straightly make our orders when the menus were delivered to our table; instead, we took some time reading pages on the menu book that tell the history of a Greek philosopher who has inspired the creation of this restaurant. Only when we realized that a staff had been standing on the side of our table for quite a moment that we finally made the orders. As the appetizer, the four of us had Set Dips (tzatziki, aubergine, spicy cheese and hummus). Of the four dips, I really think that the spicy cheese (creamy feta cheese with paprika and hot spices) went perfect with pita bread. The tzatziki (diced cucumber in yoghurt and garlic), aubergine (smoked eggplant mashed with garlic, walnut and extra virgin olive oil) and hummus (chickpea puree) were also very nice; I just love cheese better. For the main courses, we ordered lamb kaskebab and aubergine pure (cubes of tender lamb simmered in a red wine herbs sauce, served on a bed of creamed aubergine puree), mixed meat plate (a selection of beef, pork, chicken, lamb chops and sausages on a skewer), gyros (suckling leg of lamb finely sliced and served with pita bread, sliced tomato, onion and tzatziki) and lamb kebab (marinated pieces of tender lamb skewered with mushroom, served with couscous and sauteed baby string beans sprinkled with pine nuts). All the meats were very soft and wonderful. A range of tempting desserts are also available for those with a room to spare. We were pretty full and satisfied at the time, but we just couldn’t stop. And so, we ordered Loukoumades as the dessert – this delicacy is highly recommended for those loving sweets. The fried pastry puffs with honey, vanilla ice cream, sprinkled with cinnamon and cashew nuts made a great conclusion on our great night in Pantarei.

’Strange’ Tropical Fruits Throughout Bali, and Indonesia in general, you will find unusual and succulent fruit worthy of any palate ranging in color and variety. These fruits are important part of the Indonesian diet, either eaten on their own, made into desserts, or even savory dishes like the local fruit salad (rujak). Listed below are some from the pretty exhaustive list on Indonesia’s ‘Garden of Eden’ delights - you may have not seen and tasted some of these fruits.

Bangkuang

Bangkuang is a small genus of five or six species of tropical and subtropical plants growing from large, often edible taproots. The taste of the fruit itself is probably the combination of pear and apple with less sweet flavor. Bengkuang is commonly used as one of the mixers in the local fruit salad or rujak.

Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit (or Buah Naga in Indonesian) is easily recognized with its round shape, often red-colored with prominent scales. The thin rind encloses the large mass of sweetly-flavored white or red pulp and small black seeds. Some varieties are pinkish or yellow. The flesh is eaten raw and is mildly sweet and low in calories. Some people have likened it to the Kiwi Fruit mainly because of the prevalence of sesame seed-sized black crunchy seeds found in the flesh. Just don’t eat the skin or the seeds as they are both indigestible. Interestingly, this fruit can be converted into a juice or wine and it flowers make great tea once steeped.

The Mag

Sapodilla

Sapodilla (or Sawo in Indonesian) is a large globose berry with 4-8 cm in diameter, very much resembling a smooth-skinned potato and containing 2-10 seeds. Its meat ranges from a pale yellow to an earthy brown color with a grainy texture similar to that of a well-ripened pear. The flavor is exceptionally sweet and very tasty. The fruit’s flavor has been compared to cotton candy or caramel. The seeds are black and resemble beans, with a hook at one end that can catch in the throat if swallowed.

Mangosteen The Mangosteen (or Manggis in Indonesian) has deep reddish purple rind when ripe. The taste of the fruit itself can be described as sweet and tangy with peach flavor and texture. Mangosteen is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop mangosteen. Botanically, it bears no relation to the mango.

Longan

The Longan (or Lengkeng in Indonesian) is often used in East Asian soups, snacks, desserts and sweet-and-sour foods, either fresh or dried, sometimes canned with syrup in supermarkets. The seeds of fresh longan can be boiled and eaten with a distinctive nutty flavor. Longan is also named “dragon eye” because of the fruit’s resemblance to an eyeball when it is shelled (the black seed shows through the translucent flesh like a pupil/iris). The seed is small, round and hard.

Kedondong

Kedondong is a kind of greenish yellow, fibrous, sour, plum-like fruit. Raw kedondong is used in rujak (mixed fruits salad with sweet and hot dressing/sauce) and it is sometimes eaten cooked.

Soursop

The soursop (or sirsak in Indonesian) is very sour as its name implies. It is a fairly large irregular-shaped green fruit with sparse soft spines. Inside there is white pulp around black seeds. Usually the pulp and juice is scraped out and the seeds are removed. Sugar can be added to the pulp to be eaten fresh, or it can be made into sirsak juice.

’Strange’ Tropical Fruits

CONTINUES...

Snake Fruit

Snake fruit (or salak in Indonesian) is named so due to the reddishbrown scaly skin. They are about the size and shape of a ripe fig, with a distinct tip. The pulp is edible. The fruit can be peeled by pinching the tip which should cause the skin to slough off so it can be pulled away. The fruit inside consists of three lobes, each containing a large inedible seed. The lobes look like, and have the consistency of, peeled garlic cloves. The taste is usually sweet and acidic, but its apple-like texture can vary from very dry and crumbly to moist and crunchy.

Papaya

The size and shape of Papaya can vary and the skin can either be smooth and yellow or slightly rough and green and yellow striped. The flesh inside is yellow or orange. Remove the skin and discard the round black seeds. Cut in slices or chunks, and for extra flavor serve with a squeeze of lime. Papaya is available all year round.

Rambutan

Rambutan in Indonesian literally means hairy or hairy fruit due to the ‘hair’ that covers it. The fruit is a round to oval drupe 3-6 cm (rarely to 8 cm) long and 3-4 cm broad. The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellow), and covered with fleshy pliable spines. The fruit flesh is translucent, whitish or very pale pink, with a sweet, mildly acidic flavor.

In between the crowd and dust Attending the unique Balinese Hindu ceremonies is one of the many things I crave; colorful images of Balinese women in their outfits, foreign yet oddly melodious prayers chanted and the glamorously decorated offerings for many times are diffusing inside my head. Knowing this fantasy of mine, a friend invited me to attend a rare ceremony held up on a hill in Candidasa. I was so excited. Yet, once I got to the ceremonial ground, the beautiful images I had in mind were all scratched. Instead of beautifying, the make ups faded by sweat did nothing but staining the tired faces of the women; the men looked outrageous in their sweaty, wet outfits; the hurting-your-eyes flying dusts. “What is this?” I disappointedly asked to myself. This ceremony was held 400 meters above sea level on the peak of Gumang Hill in Candidasa with only four villages on the hill’s surroundings attending. Those pilgrims needed to make efforts to go up through a steep, dusty track with very little shades to rest. Of course, everyone would sweat a lot; what was I thinking? I looked at Christo. He was also looking awful – trying to catch a breath, showered in sweat. I was a jerk for being disappointed, ever! Thirty minutes had passed but nothing really special going on: people were wondering around the ceremonial ground, praying and quite a lot were resting from their journey going up the hill. But that was only until a woman standing right next to me growling…and then she cried…and turned somewhat into high ecstasy only within seconds. All the sudden a quite number of other women from different corners in the area were also in trance. “What is this” I asked myself again; this time, full of wonder. Shortly after, procession teams that had been running non stop from their villages up to the peak of the hill arrived. The sun was still burning hot. Can you imagine how exhausting it was? Not to mention that they were also carrying jempana – decorated boxes wrapped with plain fabric, which are believed to be ‘dwelled’ by spirits of the four villages’ ancestors. I’m sure it was pretty heavy. The jempana were then clashed with one another as a reconstruction of the dispute occurred in the past between these villages. Probably if viewed from the sky, the ceremonial ground would look like a brownish, golden ocean with human waves as each of the Jempana was ‘attacking’ each other. With all the massive frictions, the dusts were flying high making a drizzle when they fall down; this time, the dusts didn’t hurt my eyes. This ceremony turned out to be very spectacular; it amazed me in a way that I’ve never seen or anticipated before. Its spiritual richness and ritual diversities certainly stunned me for it showed a different kind of beauty. I can hardly wait to see more of unusual, unveiled beauties that Bali has. Bring it on, Bali! Show me more of your faces. This time, I won’t complain…

Some Facts about Bali: Bali is one of the tens of thousands islands in the Indonesian archipelago that lies between the country’s most populated island, Java, and Lombok. It is also one of the country’s most developed provinces with the capital in Denpasar, located on the southern part of the island. Bali is divided into 8 regencies (Badung, Bangli, Buleleng, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangasem, Klungkung and Tabanan) and 1 city (Denpasar). Unlike most of the Muslim-majority Indonesia, around 94% out of Bali’s 3 million population adhere to Balinese Hinduism, which is a combination of the existing local beliefs and Hindu influences. As the main tourist destination in Indonesia, Bali is renowned for its highly developed arts, including music, dance, sculpture, painting, metalworking and leather. The island is also the home of wildlife such as hundreds of bird species (including the endangered Bali Starling), Indian Muntjac, Mouse-deer, Leopard Cat, Black Giant Squirrel, and several species of macaque and leaf monkey. The island’s countless natural irresistible charms have awarded Bali as one of the world’s most visited holiday destination. With its tropical climate (temperatures averaging 31 degrees Celsius, 88 fahrenheit), Bali is warm all year round – which is perfect to explore its smoking volcanoes, stepped rice fields, remote beaches, towering cliffs, famous surf breaks and the majestic thousand- yearold temples. The hospitable and friendly natives of the Balinese and their way of life are by many considered as a magnet, inspiring those who have been in the island to go back again and those who have not to come.

Surfspots in Bali Bargaining in Bali 1. No matter how much the vendors give as the opening price, you have to bargain for as much as half (or even less) of the price. 2. It is better for you to go to the shop that has everything: t-shirts, shorts, wood handicrafts, etc. By doing a one-stop shopping, which means you will buy quite a lot, it is easier for you to get a bigger discount. 3. Since there are ranges of shops offering pretty much the same things, you can always walk away from one shop to another if a deal cannot be reached. But walk slowly. Normally, if you offer a reasonable price on a bargain, in which the vendor can still make some profits and the price is good for you, the vendor would call you back to his/her shop as you walk away. 4. Try not to be not so apparent that you really want the thing you are looking at on a shop; the vendors are not stupid and can smell your desire, thus will take the advantage by putting the price high. 5. Tell the vendor that if he/she gives you a good price, than you will tell your other friends to shop from him/her. 6. Know the martket prices, or, pretend you do. By saying “I’ve seen this product before much cheaper” will probably lead to a cheaper price. 7. Last but not least: Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture and it should be a fun activity.
