TEAM'S NOTE

It’s time to Explore Bali! July shows good sign for tourism in Bali. More and more tourists start arriving in Bali; you may be one of them. If you are, then, “Welcome to Bali!” With Bali’s hotel industry that has just recently been recognized as a star performer within the Asia-Pacific region, the island becomes even more solid in putting itself high amongst the world’s top holiday destinations. This means Bali could always expect to receive the number of tourists beyond prediction. For sure, the enchanting Island of Gods with all of its unique, colorful culture and nature will always attract people from all corners of the world to come. Now, it is our pleasure to help you exploring the island; not only with this magazine but also with our brand-new Explore Bali tours and adventure booking booth. Explore Bali helps you pulling off your Bali holiday dreams with varieties of captivating activities that assure nothing but maximum fun and experiences. Whether you want to hurtle on the white water rafting, ride a horse, hitchhike on the back of an elephant or go wild on a powerful four-wheel-drive engine, all in the areas unknown by just ordinary visitors, Baru di Bali’s Explore Bali guarantees you a holiday you’ll never forget. To learn more about Explore Bali and see more activities, visit Explore Bali's attractive booth on Oberoi Street (right across Mykonos). For this issue’s The Mag, we went past the border to explore the land that has for many years been projected to become the new Bali: Lombok. Being an island that shares a lot of natural characteristics with Bali, Lombok could serve as a destination to compliment your Bali holiday (see page 20). We also headed to a rather unexplored Bali land in Abah Hill to witness a tradition that made headlines on the local newspapers and is currently on the verge of extinction: Arak (see page 50). Our other regular features are still here; therefore, enjoy reading! And enjoy Bali too!

BALI FLASH

Bali Outstands Asia-Pacific Regions

A leading organization in benchmarking hotel performance has just recently recognized Bali’s hotel industry as a star performer within the Asia-Pacific regions. This is due the hotels in the island that managed to improve occupancies level despite the currently troubled global economy. The average daily rate (ADR) of hotels within the Asia-Pacific regions declined 15.2% in May. This, however, was not the case in Bali where ADR increased 18.5%. The organization also identified Bangkok, Beijing, Phuket and Shanghai as registering occupancies below 50%.

Governor Pastika Writes Complaints to Jakarta

Bali Government Acts Against Swine Flu

So far, there are more than nine people (all tourists) reported to have been treated in Bali’s Sanglah General Hospital due to Swine Flu infections. Officially acknowledged as a worldwide epidemic and with neighboring Australia reporting more than 1 thousand cases, it is always possible for Bali to have more Swine Flu cases reported. Free medical care to sufferers, disinfectant and health screening of arriving aircrafts and their passengers, a large supply of Tamiflu to treat sufferers and the distribution of protective masks are among the preventative measures now put in place by Bali authorities to minimize the spread of the disease. The provincial government of Bali has allocated approximately USD 1 million from a special emergency fund to be used to combat the disease. This money is being used to pay for health surveillance teams, treating those suffering from the disease, purchasing Tamiflu and protective surgical masks. 16

THE MAG Bali Flash

Bali’s Governor Pastika wrote a very public letter addressed to several ministers in Jakarta and the president of Indonesia on June 22. Within the letter, the governor was conveying complaints from tourists, tourism industry and general public about the shortcomings of the recent Ngurah Rai Airport’s conditions. The letter, which was sent with a video illustrating his written complaints, acted as a follow-up of a number previous meetings that have so far failed to yield any improvements at Bali’s airport.

93 Bali Travel Guides Brought to Court

93 unlicensed travel guides were recently brought to court after being caught operating at various tourism sites around Tabanan, such as Alas Kedaton, Tanah Lot and Ulun Danu in Bedugul. Among the 93 were individuals whose guide licenses had expired, who had no license at all and who were detained for failing to wear traditional costumes while leading the visitors.

BALI ROAD TRIP

’ve heard stories from those who have been living in Bali for years about how the sleepy villages of the Island of Gods have transformed into sounds and lights that know almost no sleep. When I first moved to Bali almost three years ago, most of the current establishments in the used-to-be villages of Seminyak and Kuta were already there. Yet, I still consider myself to be pretty fortunate (if I could say so) to have witnessed several new transformations undertaking in the island. There was only one Kuta then; but now, the “New Kuta” has been established lower in southern part of the island called Bukit. The story doesn’t stop there; years-old rumors have it that a new big ‘invention’ keeps on progressing. It’s not as simple as creating the new Seminyak or new Ubud, however, because the invention takes the whole island with it: the “New Bali”.

FROM BALI TO

LOMBOK

THE MAG From Bali to Lombok

The funny thing about the New Bali is that it will not take place in Bali, but in the neighboring Lombok instead. Projections and expectations are high that Lombok would serve perfect as the New Bali, an alternative or substitute (I say it complimentary) for the existing Island of Gods as the “Real Bali”. I’m always intrigued about everything that is Bali; therefore, I couldn’t help but to find my way to the ferry port in Padangbai. Yes, I decided to just witness it for myself if Lombok is suitable to ever ‘replace’ Bali. The cruise with ferry from Bali to Lombok takes around four to five hours. Nothing fancy is offered on board – the meaning of this statement extends to “you are lucky if you could find a seat to so-so comfortably sit” during the journey. In other words, I have to remind you that traveling from Bali to Lombok would only be comfortable and suitable if you are taking your vehicle with you or you simply enjoy a long cruise; otherwise, you could always use the fast boat services. I paid IDR 555,000 for the ferry (including me and the car); the price is similar if you are going with a car of two persons or eight persons. Once the ferry sailed, I could see the serene Blue Lagoon with its clean white-sandy beach and clear blue and turquoise water. It was a pleasant

Ferry crossing Lombok Strait

There laid before my eyes the place known for its Gili Islands goodbye-Bali moment. After more than four hours, Lombok finally appeared very clear; there laid before my eyes the place known for its Gili Islands. It was more than a year ago when the last time I went to Lombok – to check out Gili Trawangan to be exact. Of course, I went to the main Lombok Island, but unfortunately my one-night stay in Senggigi didn’t really provide me a clear picture of Lombok as a whole. I mean, there should be more than just the Gili Islands to turn this place into the New Bali. I could hardly wait for the ferry to moor so I could begin my adventure. Leaving the ferry port in Lembar, I was on the road constructed in the middle of vast rice fields. Just like in Bali, rice is an important crop in Lombok. The smooth, well-asphalted road magazine.barudibali.com Along From The Bali Way to to Lombok Amed

Approaching Lembar Ferry Port

that led me to Mataram – capital of Lombok – provided green views from the rice fields that were at times blocked by the passing big trucks and tourist buses. To repeat my last Lombok experience, I stayed at a beachfront boutique resort in Senggigi. I didn’t spend that long time unpacking my bag before finally got back onto the road. My aim was the long-stretched beach of Senggigi. Senggigi is the main tourist strip in Lombok, probably like Kuta in Bali. The beach in Senggigi stretches out along the several kilometers. A lot of new buildings were constructed in the late 90s; yet, a riot that took place in 2000 and Bali bombing in 2002 gave a huge impact that put all the constructions to a stop. The beach is mainly occupied by wooden boats, be it fishing boats or the ones used for tours. Sunset in Senggigi is breathtaking, making the silhouette of Mount Agung in Bali even more picturesque as the sun sets right beside the island of Bali. A short rank of restaurants to cater the tourists is sited at Senggigi Raya Street. Although the options provided are not that many, the street is where you can enjoy your cold beer in this Muslim dominated island. In the morning I went to Malimbu, some ten minutes north away from my resort. As a highland area and a canal zone of Senggigi Beach, Malimbu offers various sceneries such as turquoise seawater, pounding waves, sunset and a range of small islands. 22

THE MAG From Bali to Lombok

After Malimbu, which is located north of the island, I went down south – my mission was to see Kuta (yep, Lombok has Kuta also). On the way, I made a stop at an art market in Senggigi. It was already 10am, but unfortunately, most of the shops were still closed. Anyway, within half an hour after, I found myself on the road in Mataram. As the center of governance and businesses in Lombok, Mataram showed a different pace of life. Things seemed to move faster in this part of the island, with the hectic office buildings, schools, traffics and shopping malls. It was quite surprising to see a little Hindu temple standing on an intersection not far from the governor’s office. However, as I moved further south, a number of Balinese Hindu temples could be found. Away from Mataram in an area called Kediri, the local way of life was so thick. The road was full of cidomo (horse-drawn carts), which is a popular public transportation. Ranks of cidomo could be seen packing the roads and areas such as traditional markets. Aside from cidomo, bemo is also a popular public transportation just like in Bali. The funny thing about bemo in Lombok is that humans are not the only passengers; sometimes you could also see goats and even cows inside the bemo. After Kediri is an area called Praya. Here you can find an attractive site called Sade, a Sasak

Cidomo (horse-drawn cart) (native tribe of Lombok) village that still remains original for fifteen generations. The traditional architecture of Sade consists of two types: beruga (traditional ceremony hall with six pillars) and lumbung (house to store rice and other food). The roof of each building is covered by alang-alang (elephant grass) and constructed in order to keep the temperature inside cool on hot days and warm on cooler days. Visitors can also see the villagers making their traditional ikat sarong and other handicrafts. It is a must for visitors to donate and use a guide service in order to enter this traditional village. However, all the guides, souvenir sellers and donations to the village are something we will have to tolerate; because this is an important income and maybe you help preserve a culture which otherwise would have disappeared. After around 30 minutes in the village, I got back to the road heading to Kuta. This time, the journey turned a bit bumpy and rough provided that the road condition was not really that good. It is strange to learn that the road condition leading to Lombok’s most celebrated area was not developed. Once I finally arrived in Kuta, it was yet another big surprise for me to see such a beautiful place with not even a single tourist on sight; it looked to me that the many tourists I encountered when I arrived in Lombok were all heading to the Gili Islands. The white-sandy, long-stretched of the virgin beach in Kuta would be adorable for sun worshipers. The crystal-clear water with rugged hills rising around it creates a picture perfect

All the guides, souvenir sellers and donations to the village are something we will have to tolerate… occasion. Swimming is certainly a must in this area. The waves in Kuta should also provide the playground for surfers, although they need to paddle out for quite a distant. The surrounding area in Kuta is pretty barren. Despite the dry condition, the area offers the kind of views worth tens of photographs. The area of Segar Beach is one example; in order to get to this beach, you need to pass a dusty, dessert-like area. On the whole, noticing Lombok’s undeveloped natural beauties and potentials somehow flew me back to the time when I was told about Bali before it is developed like today. The vast rice fields, untouched beaches, splendid hills and the traditional Sasak tribe are certainly valuable tourism assets that can sell Lombok to the world. It’s been years since the hype to turn Lombok into the New Bali started booming in the late 90s; however, during that period of time Lombok hasn’t changed that much. Certainly, more works need to be done to turn Lombok into its prototype, the current Bali. If I could have a say, then I say keep Lombok as it is now. This way, the island could really be a complimentary destination; since combining Lombok and Bali for your holiday would certainly feel like paradise. magazine.barudibali.com From Bali to Lombok

…I’m taking clothes and lots of little souvenirs for my friends back home. There are so many things I want to take home, but I don’t think they will fit in my bag. The easiest thing to give my friends are keyrings and those small surfboard replicas.

…I’m taking home clothes; they are very cute and colorful. The dresses are very fashionable and unique. I also buy many cute bikinis, but don’t know when to wear it when I go home.

…I’ve been coming back to Bali since ’87, and I think this is my 50th time here. Every time I come here I usually bring back bumbu (traditional Indonesian herbs). I love Indonesian food and I’ve learnt how to cook it, but the bumbu’s are very difficult to find back home and also expensive, so I always have to bring home bumbu’s.

…There are many things I’m taking home with me, this being my second time here, so I knew what I wanted to buy when I got here again. Mostly bringing home small souvenirs for friends back home. But one thing I will truly cherish when I go home are the beautiful memories I had here.

…I’m taking home some traditional wooden carvings. I really wanted to take home this big wooden statue of a Balinese dancer, about 1 meter tall, but I don’t think it would fit my flat back home, plus the missus will kill me. So I’m settling with these small figurines.

a charity story by

THE MAG Heart of Bali : SOS

Sumatran Orangutan Society What is your organization and what does it do? The Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) is a charity dedicated to the conservation and welfare of Sumatran Orangutans and their forest home. SOS was founded in 1997 and has branches in Ubud, Sumatra, U.K., USA, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden. Our branches raise awareness of the threats facing the wild orangutans, and raise funds to support our projects in Bali and Sumatra. The excessive exploitation of Indonesia’s natural resources by continual logging, forest clearance and the rapid emergence of the palm oil plantations has resulted in loss of habitat and increased the conflict with humans who live close to the forests. Sadly, their numbers have dwindled down to less than 6,600 in the wild and they now find themselves on the critically endangered list.

What are your short-term and longterm goals? We aim to: 1. Conserve the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and its rainforest habitat. 2. Promote public awareness of threats to, and conservation strategies for, the Sumatran orangutan through community education and global communication. 3. Support the operation of our grassroots field conservation projects and sustainable community development initiatives through the Orangutan Information Center (OIC) in Sumatra. 4. Collaborate with other international and local NGOs and businesses working towards parallel goals. 5. Fundraise to support SOS's aims and projects. Long-term goals: • To seek sustainable solutions for the preservation of forest habitat; • To assist local government in the protection and maintenance of protected areas; • To promote orangutans as ambassadors for the rainforest ecosystem; • To support the establishment of community education and empowerment programmes in Sumatra. magazine.barudibali.com Heart of Bali : SOS

Has your organization made (or is making) any progress in achieving its goals? SOS Bali is dedicated to raising awareness of the threats to the orangutan’s continued existence in the wild, in both the international and local communities. One of the keys to effective conservation is education and its success often lies in the hands of the local people. We run educational programs for local Indonesian schools and provide colouring activity books and writing books free of charge for the children. We are looking to expand our programs into the international school system here in Bali. We actively fundraise for our Sumatran Tree Replanting program which has now replanted over 300,000 fruiting and hardwood seedlings in Aceh and North Sumatra, including the restoration of damaged orangutan habitat within the Gunung Leuser National Park. Nestled in the heart of Ubud on J.L Gootama, discerning shoppers can find SOS’s new fundraising project, The Jungle Shop. The store funds our Bali office activities and will eventually support our projects in Sumatra. We also donate some of the clothing to Bali’s local orphanages.

THE MAG Heart of Bali : SOS

Have your actions made any significant change in line with the goals and missions of your organization? Our projects leave a lasting legacy by empowering the next generation of Indonesian conservationists. Our grassroots projects focus not only on wildlife conservation, but also assist rural communities to protect and improve their environment and surrounding forests, increasing their practical engagement with local conservation issues. We have pioneered a conservation curriculum for schools in North Sumatra, and have established a scholarship programme for local university students to promote orangutan research. We have two OranguVans on the road, equipped with environmental libraries and film screening equipment for our mobile conservation cinema. Our new human-orangutan conflict resolution programme operates in oil palm plantation areas, and we have trained over 1,000 plantation workers in best-practise ways of dealing with orangutans found in or near plantations. Our goal is to expand these existing programmes to reach even more communities. The success of orangutan conservation in Indonesia lies in the hands of the local people.

My First Trip to Bali

Bartele, Holland

THE MAG My First Trip to Bali

Tired of riding horses and milking cows, Bartele jumped on a plane to Asia. Nineteen years later, he has 5 bars and restaurants, a stroopwafel bakery that supplies Starbucks and he is about to open a gallery in antique prints. A few years ago he wrote the bestseller Bule Gila, a funny book about his experiences of running a bar in Indonesia. The book is still widely available at the bookstores. Search 'Bule Gila' in YouTube, and you will find him singing the dangdut-rock song 'Goyang Goyang' in his first bar named BuGils. Bart & staffs at the bar

What was the best hang-out place back then? I still remember a pub-crawl of the Peanuts bar. Wow... And a reggae bar somewhere in Lovina.

When was your first trip to Bali and why? Just before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, Iraqi Airlines offered cheap tickets to Southeast Asia. I bought one and they flew me here, but when they started the war shortly afterwards, Iraqi Airlines stopped flying and I got stranded in Indonesia. Thank you, Saddam! On a student budget I travelled around. Never ate so much nasi goreng in my life... Luckily the beer was even cheaper than now, in shorter bottles, with the turning screw tops. What was your best memory of the trip? For me, a farmer boy from Friesland, on his first trip, far away from the cows, it was a good experience to meet so many 'colleague farmers' from Australia and New Zealanders. Where I didn't feel at home in the big cities, in Bali I felt pretty much at ease with the easy going Ozzies and Kiwis. I remember there was a telephone boot on Kuta beach, right in the corner opposite Hard Rock. As I needed money to buy a new return ticket, I called my father. It still remember the weird experience of standing in that booth overlooking the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;probably my first long distance call ever, while on the other end of the line I had my father who had not much time to talk as he had cows to milk. I have never ever felt more lonely and lost at that moment. It reminds me everytime I turn that corner.

Any weird memories from back then? Yes. In 1990 I travelled together with a schoolmate. In Bali, we once got lost and we found ourselves at the end of a sandy road where there was a temple on the edge of a cliff. When we stepped out of the car, there was this Balinese family who just had finished their prayers. The oldest of this group walked toward us, but stopped in front of me. This priest was in a kind of trance. He stared at me and then, he suddenly said that I would have a great future in Bali. A really successful one. And my friend better had to follow me, if he wished to be successful as well. It gave us the shivers as it was again a similar prediction we had heard so many times on our travels. After our study, this friend did work for me for a year in Indonesia, but returned to Holland where he still lives in a flat in Amsterdam now. He should have listened better. That priest from that temple did warn me at that time about something in my stomach that could develop. Never found out what he meant, but for sure it is big now... Do you prefer Jakarta or Bali? I love both. For people who have never lived in Jakarta, it is hard to imagine. But believe me, that big city is fantastic. And everything that I miss there, I find in Bali. And the other way around. These two worlds together are my life. It's like having two wives that I both love. Tired of one? Move to the other for a while. Life is beautiful and its only getting better. magazine.barudibali.com My First Trip to Bali

The Balinese Banten Its presence is making Bali even a livelier island; its smells are so thick filling the air that a stranger to this island could easily be intrigued. Yet, as colorful as it looks on the outside, banten holds deeper meanings inside.

Many tourists and the non Balinese Hindu residents understand that banten is offered to please the gods (in connection with the ancient belief). Yet, not many of these people know that banten is a lot more than just an instrument to make the gods happy. Its presence is making Bali even a livelier island; its smells are so thick filling the air that a stranger to this island could easily be intrigued. Yet, as colorful as it looks on the outside, banten holds deeper meanings inside. It is a must for a Balinese Hindu person to offer banten in conducting a ceremony. The sizes and values of the banten depend on the economic capability of the party (be it individuals, families, etc.) holding the ceremony. However, the bigger the banten offered doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean the more chances one could get in pleasing the gods or freed from sins. Banten is seen as an act of paying homage to the gods, not bribing. The Balinese Hindu considers banten as the means to get connected with god; thus, the presence of banten is always required. Within this concept, The Balinese Hindu considers banten as the means to get connected with god.

Today, banten also acts as a symbol of knowledge. Some of the many substances (such as flowers, leaves, fruits, etc.) used to make banten are gradually becoming scarce to find. It is, therefore, a challenge for the Balinese to develop ways to cultivate these essential substances. Yet, there are possibly hundreds of kinds of banten used for different occasions; thus, requiring different use of materials. In order to be able to understand different types of banten, certain knowledge is also required.

More than Just Pizza

TRATTORIA

THE MAG Food Review: Trattoria

entioning Italian food, what usually comes to mind is pizza or spaghetti and Trattoria doesn’t let down on these parts. But this always crowded eatery has a lot more to offer than these typical Italian cuisines. Trattoria, which means casual dining place serving full hearty meals in Italian, is located on the Bali’s famed eat street in Laksmana street, and what they serve up doesn’t fall short of its name. Now Trattoria has expanded to become a fairly established franchise with restaurants in Jakarta, Medan and now in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As mentioned before it is advised to come early to Trattoria, because this place is always full of hungry food lovers. Wondering why this place is always bringing in the crowds raised our curiosity so we had to try this place out. Entering Trattoria you will notice a very simple interior of dark wooden tables and chairs with subtle lighting which sends out a very cozy setting. The staff is very helpful in aiding your choices on the menu and encouraging us to try the day’s specialty. This in part answered our question on why this place has grown to be quite successful. Yet our query was not completely answered until we tried the food. Not wanting to keep the other patrons waiting we simply asked for the best the kitchen could dish out for us, and we weren’t wrong with that choice. To start we were served up Insalata Pecorin Epere, which was a very refreshing salad of crispy rucola

Spaghetti Allo Scoglio

Pannacotta with strawberry sauce and pears sprinkled with pine nuts and topped with pecorino cheese and honey. Two bottles of olive oil and red wine vinegar are given to add to your liking. It was tasty way to prepare our palates for what came next. The next meals to be served were a true show of Italian cooking, presented with Ravioli Al Ragu and Spaghetti Allo Scoglio, two amazing pasta dishes. The silky Ravioli were stuffed with soft mashed potatoes and topped with a Bolognese tomato sauce and sprinkled with parmesan cheese, leaving a sensation of tomato flavored velvet in the mouth. The spaghetti was mixed with fresh seafood and topped with a light olive oil sauce, which was a very nice combination. We were also served a Salomone All’erba Cipollina which was a sautéed salmon on a bed of potatoes topped with a creamy spring onion sauce accompanied by a small tower of sautéed vegetables on the side. The sauce complemented well the flavor of the salmon and the sautéed vegetables were a great relief from the usual greens. With our already contempt and full bellies, we were offered dessert to close the delicious meal. Accepting the offer, we were presented with Pannacotta with strawberry sauce and

Salomone All’erba Cipollina

TRATTORIA Jl. Laksmana, Oberoi-Seminyak Phone: +62 (0) 361 737 082 www.barudibali.com/trattoria

Tiramisu. The Pannacotta was soft and fluffy and the flavor was further escalated when mixed with the strawberry sauce; it was like eating a strawberry flavored cloud. The texture of the Tiramisu was very creamy and softon the tongue, with bitter chocolate at the base forming a true taste sensation. Trattoria also has many different Italian dishes on menu than the ones mentioned like pizzas, antipasti’s and desserts also a wide variety of cocktails*, liqueurs and wines to choose to accompany your meal. So, if you’re an Italian food lover seeking something different than pizza, Trattoria is a must try to widen your Italian food knowledge. We also know why Trattoria is so popular now.

Taman Ujung T he

K i l l i ng

F ie l d

aman Ujung is a water palace located in Tumbu village, Karangasem. This royal retreat was constructed by the late King of Karangasem, I Gusti Bagus Djelantik that reigned in Karangasem from 1909 until 1945. It was built to welcome and to serve important guests and Kings from neighboring countries, besides for the pleasure of the King and his royal family. Standing at the main round pavilion of the water palace will give you the best panoramic views of Lombok Strait, the silhouette of Mount Lempuyang and the surrounding area. Yet, behind the palaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently beautiful setting, the land where Taman Ujung sits bears a rather â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;darkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history. It is said that during the eleventh century, the ruling King of Karangasem was slaughtering thousands of people living in the area in suspicion of black magic practices.

THE THEMAG MAG Taman Ujung

The king heard that there was a mass local movement practicing black magic spells to diminish his royal authority and end his royal life. The king then sent out his soldiers to the villages surrounding Taman Ujung; men, women and even children in the villages were all detained and killed right on the land of the water palace. Nowadays, Taman Ujung is popular for the locals living in the surrounding as a place to have a relaxing walk and jog. The main object of this palace is the pool with the surrounding buildings. The architecture is a blend of several cultures: a western style was implemented for the gazebo, the arches are Middle Eastern, and the plentiful detailed carvings are Balinese. Despite the rumors saying that the place is haunted, more and more tourists (domestic and international) are coming to Taman Ujung. A visit to Taman Ujung could be combined with a visit to Tirta Gangga, another water palace which is also located in Karangasem.

Udeng

deng is a head cloth worn by Balinese men when attending ceremonies or traditional events. The varieties of udeng range from a plain white to the colorful ones with typical Balinese motives. Plain white udeng is worn during religious ceremonies. For rituals such as wedding, tooth filing and others, the Balinese men normally wear the one with motives. Udeng shares rather common characteristics with blangkon, the traditional male head cloth from the neighboring Java. Today, udeng is also largely worn by the male staffs working in hospitality industry such as hotels, villas and restaurant to give a traditional touch and show the Balinese identity.

Thai Food Bistro Style

LEMONGRASS

THE MAG Food Review: Lemongrass

ot far from the Bintang Supermarket on Jalan Raya Seminyak is a cozy little eatery, which has some resemblance of a European Bistro, but actually serves authentic Thai cuisine. The large windows in front give a glimpse of the cozy setting inside; neatly placed wooden tables and chairs, perfectly setup with romantic candle lighting and white table linen. Once entering the restaurant, a stone carved Buddha will greet you, which definitely transforms my first impression of a Bistro into that of a typically Thai restaurant. The selection of food offered at Lemongrass is all Thai and surpasses the usual Tom Yam Gong and Thai Curries, although these choices are also available on menu. If the menu has too many good choices for you to take a quick pick, just look at the big blackboards hung on the wall: they provide you with Lemongrass' specialties and most popular dishes, making your meal selection nice and easy.

Poh Pia Tod

Gai Yahng

Tom Yam Gai

In the Thai kitchen there are five basic flavors that should be balanced in every meal, which are: salty, spicy, sour, bitter and sweet. Lemongrass has truly found a balance in bringing these flavors into their typical dishes providing Thaifood-virgins with a fantastic taste sensation, or experienced Thai restaurant visitors with the familiar sensation of the rich tasting, authentic Thai dishes which you thought only to find in Thailand. We started our meal with the Poh Pia Tod appetizer; crunchy spring rolls filled with tasty ground chicken and fresh vegetables served with a delicious sweet chili sauce complementing it's taste. Along side our spring rolls we ordered Tom Yam Gai; a classic Thai soup of chicken pieces simmered in coconut milk and Thai herbs. The Thai flavors of salt, sour and spicy are very evident in the refreshing Tom Yam Gai soup making our taste buds eager for more. Most Asian meals are accompanied with rice. Lemongrass serves their cooked rice in small stainless steel pots keeping the rice both warm and fluffy. Guests are free to eat as much from the pot as they like. We ordered our main course from the blackboard specials, which I suggest you to try because they often change. We tried the Gai Yahng; a Thai style barbecue chicken fillet marinated in Thai herbs and accompanied by

chili and vinegar sauce. The aforementioned Thai flavors are also evident in this dish, which you can taste through the marinade and more so in the sauce. When the barbecued chicken is dipped in the sauce and eaten together with the rice, flavors combine and leave a pleasant fresh after-taste. Another blackboard special we sampled was the Stir Fried Lamb served in red curry sauce and coconut milk, accompanied by snake beans, choy sum and fresh coriander leaves. When the Lamb arrived on our table, on first sight it looked and smelled like an Indonesian curry, but its taste was much milder and less thick than an Indonesian curry. The presentation of the food was never outlandish, very simple yet beautiful all the same and the food was not overly spicy. Lemongrass accommodates to guests who are not so into spicy food. But for those of you who enjoy that extra buzz you can request your meal to be prepared extra spicy. Lemongrass' bar is stocked with wide variety of liquors and spirits and many wines to enjoy before, during or after your meal. In my opinion the best drink to accompany Thai food is a cool beer that nicely compliments the flavors of Thai cuisine.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

These Steps are Disappearing… We believe that most of you guys are familiar with

the Mother Temple Besakih, the holiest of all temples in Bali. This prehistoric terraced sanctuary houses a

series of small temples in honor of deified rulers. Over a thousand years, Besakih was enlarged and added until it grew into the present compound of about 30 temples. The paramount sanctuary within the

compound of Besakih is Penataran Agung Temple, which is the main temple and rears its superior pagoda with a giant split gate.

If we are talking about “believe it or not”, Besakih

has a long list of odd events. Starting from the age

when the temple was built up until today, occurrences

beyond believe – not logical, that is – have been taking place. Unfortunately, it requires a certain ‘ability’ to

become aware of all the strange happenings going on in Besakih; in other words, not all could experience

THE THE MAG MAG Steps to the Mother Temple

or witness them. Yet, out of these series of magical events, there is one thing ready to be put on a test: the steps leading up to Penataran Agung Temple.

Let’s spend a couple of seconds talking about logic

here: if the number of the steps leading up to the

temple is, say, one hundred, that means we have to

go through as many as two hundred steps going up

and down, to and from the temple. Now, let us remind you again; this is Bali, the land of mystical things.

Having said that, it shouldn’t surprise you if we say the number of the steps would be either 199 or 201. Yep, testimonials from a number of Balinese who really counted the number of the steps when they were

praying there, have proven that the number to and

from Penataran Agung will not be equal. It’s going to be either plus or minus one.

Of course, you can always deny this and prove

otherwise; all you need to do is just put on your sarong

and sash and head straight to Besakih to count the steps yourself.

Entering the small cottages where you will receive your spa treatment, you will be surprised to see that the back of the cottage is an open view of the hills. The interior of the wooden cottage is very natural, with vines coiling around a few pillars, giving a ‘back to nature’ feel. As De’kahyangan is focused mainly on couples, all amenities are found in pairs, such as two cozy wooden chairs and obviously, two massage tables. Also found in the cottage is a large and deep stone bathtub filled with relaxing warm water and topped with flower petals, which guests can enjoy after the. Other amenities you’ll find inside are robes, towels, sandals and a safety deposit box to keep your valuables .

Body Massage

"De’kahyangan is focused mainly on couples, all amenities are found in pairs" When you are ready for the massage, you will first be seated down in the cozy chairs and your feet will be gently scrubbed in small stone carved basins filled with rose petals. Warm ginger tea is served as you relax your feet. After the foot scrub you are escorted to the massage tables which are heated, making it all the more relaxing and prevent you from getting cold. A very aromatic essential oil is used to ease the masseuse’s hands to knead out the knots in your muscles. The massage itself is a traditional Balinese method, focusing on the body’s pressure points. To end the treatment, a lulur (Balinese body scrub) is applied to leave the skin soft and silky. If you desire, you can ask for a strawberry facial, which is one of the

Floral foot scrub

most popular treatments in De’Kahyangan. The fresh blended strawberries replenish the skin with nutrients making you look and feel younger. If you happen to be visiting with your partner, I suggest you enjoy the bathtub, which is also filled with rose petals and take your time enjoying the view. Don’t worry the staff will leave the two of you alone to embrace the moment when the treatment is done. The trip to De’Kahyangan may be a long one, but it’s worth the journey. Being able to see a beautiful scenic view while indulging yourself in the spa is truly heavenly as the name suggests. Especially when you can indulge yourself, together with your significant other. magazine.barudibali.com Spa Review: De' Kahyangan

THE MAG

Arak (under) Attack! Last month, June 2009, the Balinese liquor known as Arak made international news headlines because the drink has caused several casualties. Arak is a popular low-cost alcoholic drink, which normally is distilled from palm. However, in a recent case Arak was to be found containing deadly methanol causing several deaths of both residents and tourists alike. Drinking 'safe Arak' in finer establishments located in the urbanized area of Bali will cause no harm and can be seen as a 'must do in Bali'. However we wish to use this article as a side note that - if produced rightly - Arak is a part of Balinese culture that many people enjoy drinking and that there is no reason to stop drinking under the condition that it's consumed in a reasonable portion at a public bar or restaurant.

You have probably noticed the big, chalk-bold letters written on blackboards offering an “Arak Attack” as you step in to almost any bars or even restaurants in Bali. The locally-made palm liquor is Bali’s signature drink sold almost everywhere on the island. Yep, in fact, it is best to find arak in Bali’s deepest corners, away from all centers of crowd and fine establishments. Aside from getting the highest level of originality in taste, having a light or even strong sip of this booze in a spot where it is made and processed would certainly give you one of the truest Balinese experiences. However, aside from its celebrated name as an affordable substitute for the oh-so-expensive imported alcohol, arak is currently placed high on the local police’s most wanted list. No, it’s not because of the liquor itself; rather, it’s due to some irresponsible individuals or parties as receptacles that have blended arak with other deadly substances such as methanol. As the result, newspapers all around Bali screamed “arak is killing people” on their headlines. Raids and closures of several in-house arak producers in the villages were conducted as a follow-up. While both the producing process and consuming arak is a tradition that has been passed for generations in Bali, it’s a shame to learn that this particular liquor is on the verge of extinction. This is because

arak is not as simple as a cheap alcoholic drink that certainly can make you high, but it also acts as an important element in traditional occasions such as ceremonies and other rituals: . The Balinese people (especially those in the villages) also consume arak, as a ‘natural and healthy’ liquor, to maintain their stamina – of course, if consumed on the right dose. Moderate drinking of arak is believed to unlock hidden energy; this should explain why the Balinese people who live in the island’s most remote villages and mountainous areas could still have the power to walk kilometers away from their homes to work in the fields. In remote Balinese villages, it is a tradition for men to gather in a village ‘pub’ after working all day on the rice fields. The pub, which is a sidewalk liquor stall, is called petuakan and hanging out in petuakan is called metuakan. It is here that these men will find out the latest village gossip, affairs and even the latest political rumors while chatting over a glass of arak. The Mag currently took a trip to Abah Hill to visit a humble family that is still practicing the arak tradition. The Balinese family of Komang Us has been living on the peak of Abah Hill (on the way to Karangasem) and making their own arak for many generations – in Mr. Komang word, forever. Living at a stunning 583m above sea level, where the air is considerably cooler, Komang and his family magazine.barudibali.com Feature Story: Arak (under) Attack

Abah Hill

certainly has a good reason to consume arak on a daily basis; that is, to keep their body warm especially at night. Aside for his family own consumption, Komang also sells his home-made arak to the surrounding warungs. While at their house, Komang’s mother took us around to a little hut (used as a kitchen) where the family is distilling the arak. The wooden kitchen was only around three by three meter wide. All equipments used for distillation process are traditional, starting from the wood fire, a large pan (known as dandang), several big buckets and a hose (to channel the vapor from the palm wine). Now, arak requires tuak (palm wine) as its base. The tuak will then be fermented together with coconut husks for as long as for days up to one week. After four days, the tuak is put inside dandang which is covered with kekeb (an earthenware cover) so no vapor escapes during the distillation. The hose will then channel the vapor and condensation to a containing jug or bottle. Tuak itself tastes very sweet and is also often drunk as it is before finally gets processed. Within four days, Komang can produce up to 15 bottles of arak (10 litters) sold at IDR 7,000 per bottle. The alcohol percentage of the arak varies from ten to forty; the higher the alcohol percentage, the 52

THE MAG Feature Story: Arak (under) Attack

sharper and more biting the arak would taste. Of course, we tried the Komang’s freshly distilled arak with 25% alcohol; it tasted different, because the arak had a distinct sweet flavor (not very sweet, though) – unlike the ones I’ve ever tried before. In other words, you don’t need to mix this arak with other liquors or fruit juices. Don’t worry; Komang’s arak is certainly safe to be consumed. The city of Denpasar probably has the largest arak consumers on the island, which explains the easiness to find arak in the area. Yet, the finest and most popular arak is produced in Karangasem and thereabouts (including Abah Hill). The popularity of arak, including drinking it, has in a way evolved another tradition called genjek, a traditional drinking party. In genjek, a group of men will sit in a circle on the floor while chanting traditional tunes without using any musical instrument. These Balinese men will add more sounds to the song aside the lyrics with some of them impersonating the sounds of several traditional music instruments to accompany the song; while the arak will keep on flowing freely. Since the finest arak is from the greater Karangasem, you could always expect to find genjek in the area – also in the northeastern part of Bali. Fortunately, with the recent death cases not all arak distribution is forbidden. Some producers that are licensed can keep their production and distribution activities legally. Arak that has been nicely packaged and sold in good supermarkets is safe for consumption. Just don’t buy one from any random, shady shop on the streets – unless you are in a traditional Balinese village. Anyway, the rising concerns about the existence of arak as something considered to be somewhat harmful and can be linked to the increase of criminal cases, has caused worries within the producing community. The government of Bali needs to find the way out of this problem; and the rule must be fair enough for both the producers and the consumers. Strict prohibition should be applied for those under 21 years of age to purchase or consume Arak, as they have not reached the adult age eligible enough to take responsibility for their actions. To witness the real process of arak distillation, you can head for the highlands of Bali, east towards Karangasem, where the local villagers have ‘processing plants’ smack dab in their own kitchens or backyards.

Go Green In Bali Bali is a beautiful island to visit and like many other tourist destinations, being such a popular spot brings many problems. One concerning problem that we at The Mag have come to notice is the ever growing environmental problems that effect this paradise island. We at The Mag hope that all travelers will take (little) time to read these points and take them to action, in order to lessen the damage. So please, keep Bali Beautiful.

1. Refill your water bottle

6. Eco-travelling

2. Please don’t litter

7. Lights out

Instead grabbing a new bottle of mineral water, why not keep that bottle and refill it. You can refill for free, in some places such as JP's Warung Club in Dhyana Pura.

It’s a habit we should all try to keep, and that is just “don’t litter”. If no trashcan is in sight, just keep it in your bag or pocket until you come across one, and then dispose of it correctly.

3. See some rubbish, pick it up

Add that little extra part in keeping Bali clean by picking scraps of trash ignorant people have discarded carelessly and then find the appropriate place to dispose of it.

4. Reuse or refuse plastic bags

Sometimes shops will still put your goods into plastic bags. It’s ok to refuse the plastic bags, if you’re carrying your own. You may get a strange look from the cashier, if so; just explain your trying to "Keep Bali Beautiful!”

5. Walk more!

To keep the air of Bali cleaner, it’s always better to walk. Other than being a healthy alternative, you may accidentally stumble onto a small store or unseen bar which you may have missed.

THE MAG What's Happening

What better way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature in Bali than to take an eco-tourism tour. Many companies provide trips into the untouched wilderness of Bali, or the unspoiled coral reefs.

Leaving your AC on is a huge waste of valuable electrical energy. It’s better to turn off your AC and lights before heading out.

8. It’s better to go out for dinner

It is sometimes tempting to take-away food to enjoy in the comfort of the place you are staying, but the packaging of the food adds up to the pile of trash that is thrown away.

9. Support local industries

Sending imported goods uses up much of the worlds fossil fuel resources, compared to using products already available in Bali. By supporting local industries we can also improve the economy for the community in Bali.

10. Water preservation

The amount of clean water in Bali is slowly becoming scarcer due to over use. Small things we can do to help over come the water crisis are by taking shorter showers and turning of the taps when we brush our teeth.

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 onestop shopping, which means you will buy quite a lot, it is easier for you to get a bigger discount. 3. 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.

BEFORE ENTERING A TEMPLE, PLEASE REMIND YOURSELF: 1.To respect the place and its people: it is sacred, so do not make noise or damages and act normal. 2.That a woman who is having her period, is not allowed to enter the temple. 3. To not walk in front of a praying person.

4. 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. 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. Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture and it should be a fun activity.

4. That a priest is very important, so whenever he is praying, don’t sit higher then him and don’t bother him with your flash from your camera. 5. That you should also not take flashing pictures of other people praying. 6. To wear a sarong and a ribbon when you attend a ceremony (those are often provided to you when necessary).

Kuta Reef

Belangan

Dreamland

Kuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is often working. May–October (dry season) is the best time of year for waves here. The reef in Belangan is close to shore and a short paddle out. Belangan is a very wellknown break and can get very crowded in the peak season. Dreamland is famous for its waves that can peel perfectly for hundreds of meters over the reef. The waves are also reserved for expert surfers only. Swimming here is advisable only on low tide. G

Bingin

Bingin gets very crowded through the peak season with only one small take-off area. The wave itself is pretty mechanical, but short.

Lebih

Impossibles

The surf break in Lebih is greatly affected by direction of the swell. Impossibles is the least crowded surfing area in Bali. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang, so if you are at either of those two places you can see what is happening at Impossibles. J

November–April (wet season) provides optimum time of year for the waves. Padang Galak is a reliable rivermouth beach break north of Sanur. The surf break is quite popular here, but only works under certain conditions. The surfing crowd at Ketewel usually consists of locals and Japanese, including girls on body boards. Ketewel seemed like a place beginners/ intermediates might enjoy, not people looking for epic surfing. Padangbai has the flat bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some walls.

Green Bali

Green Bali is situated at the bottom of a cliff. No worries going down but after you have been surfing for a couple of hours the return leg is a bit harder.

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.
