Reiki (2, 14 and 16 April) For the bene¿t of those who are not aware of what Reiki is here is a very simple explanation. It is a wonderful system for healing and transformation. Reiki 1 will give you the basic tools that will help you to understand your own energy and the energy of others. At this level, you will learn how to ground, centre, cleanse and protect yourself prior to practice. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the chakras and Chi Gong to support your Reiki practice. This is a little like putting this whole concept into a nutshell but it is an amazing practice and Reiki 1 introduces you to a whole new world. For those of you with the basic foundation, level 2 takes you to a new point and a higher level of practice. This is all about distance healing through time and space and clearing out limiting beliefs. These practices offer a unique type of ability to heal and offer support to those around you or seek help. You will also learn about the 7 layer auric body system and its level as well as attunements. The workshop includes a comprehensive handbook and a healthy lunch. If you are interested in alternative ways of healing or getting in touch with the self, this practice is de¿nitely worth developing. Do book your place as soon as possible as places are limited.

HAVE YOU SEEN

OUR CAT? This is a very long shot, but she has been part of our family for 7+ years, we love her dearly and are desperate to get her back. Our cat “Susu” was taken from our home in Tanah Lot about 3 weeks ago and we believe taken to Denpasar, but she could be anywhere in southern Bali, we just don’t know. She is a rather small, neutered female, has a black upper body with white underside and white paws. She has a long tail and distinguishing scar mark on her back about the size of a large coin, where the hair has not grown back. She may still have her red collar. If she has escaped she will now be lost and so afraid. She responds to the name Susu. A good reward is offered for her return or information which leads to her recovery. If you have seen her or may know where she is being kept, please phone/sms

CANGGU NEWS

Petitenget to Pererenan If you live, work, have a business or just have some exciting news about this area then we want to hear from you! Canggu News submissions for future editions are welcome to be emailed to: canggueditor@yahoo.com If you are submitting information about a future event, please be sure to provide accurate details regarding time and place and include pictures where relevant.

Supervised check in starts from 9am with daily sessions commencing at 9.30am and running through to 3pm. Participants are also provided with a morning tea snack and hearty lunch to keep energy levels high for the day’s action.

Hooray for JSA and Holiday Fun! Okay, so it seems like I have only just taken down the Christmas tree and now Easter is upon us already! Do I hear a collective groan from time poor parents? That means another lot of school holidays and the dilemma of what to do with our precious ones, especially if our working day continues despite whether school is in or out! Not wanting my kidlets to turn into ipad hugging technology junkies for the duration of their vacation, I am turning to the Junior Sports Academy for the solution.

up for the full ﬁve. This week covers a combination of activities, giving participants a taste of every sport; basketball, tennis, swimming, ten pin bowling, soccer, dance, AFL, trampolining, gymnastics and even varied events such as JSA olympics, Funtathlons and Aqua Olympics! As well as getting active and out there, the sessions develop new skills and team building techniques as children from all ages and backgrounds work together with newfound friends.

Week 1 of the JSA holiday camp program is already is full swing and children of all ages are enjoying action packed days ﬁlled with all sorts of indoor and outdoor activities. The JSA Easter holiday program runs for two weeks with a different focus for each week.

Don’t despair if you’ve missed most of week one, the second week of JSA Holiday Camps allows children to choose their favourite sport and enjoy some intensive skill training and development with a good dose of fun, mixing it up a little each day with an hour or so at Splash Waterpark, Bounce Trampoline Centre or Strike 10 Pin Bowling.

Week one is multisport week. Drop in for a day or sign

Learn to Swim With an Olympian! Living in a paradise surrounded by water I have always maintained the importance of my children having strong swimming skills. Knowing just how to keep aﬂoat is one thing but having the ability, stamina and knowhow to stay safe in our oceans (and pools) is vital. In the past I have found it sometimes difficult to convince my kids to continue swimming lessons, however since enrolling them in JSA swim classes at Canggu Club, bribery (come on parents we’ve all used it at some stage) has no longer been necessary. Well, who wouldn’t want to be coached by an Olympian! From her ﬁrst holiday to Bali over three years ago, Luisa Striani developed a love affair with the island and, after subsequent biannual treks back to Bali for longer each time, she decided to move here permanently in July 2014. “I love the culture, the food, the people, the way of life and the energy it gives you!” From Montesarchio, a small city in the province of Benevento, Southern Italy, it was clear Luisa was to follow a career that kept her feet wet! Finishing school in 1996 she went on to hold a position on the Italian National Swim Team from 1997 to 2004, earning multiple bronze and silver medals in numerous world championships with a career

highlight as finalist for Italy in the Sydney 2000 Olympics! She holds national records for freestyle and is ten times Italian champion for Freestyle and Butterfly. Now as if that’s not enough in achievements or accolades, Luisa has also graduated from Naples University with first class honours in Motor Sciences, has been awarded “Cavaliere della Repubblica Italiana” from the Italian president (my Italian is hopeless but from what I can gather, it’s a very prestigious award!) and is an accredited senior coach with the Italian Swimming Federation. Judging from that long list of credentials I am pretty confident my kids are in safe and very qualified hands. Fortuitously, several months ago, The Canggu Club was in the market for an internationally qualified coach and I would guarantee that Luisa more than fit the bill. She teaches swim classes from 3 month olds and school age through to adults and also offers one on one tuition for those wishing to hone their skills in the water. Her classes focus on developing the correct technique but for the kids there is also a need to add an element of play. “They can have fun while testing their aquatic expertise.” There’s never any shortage of willing participants in the pool.

The program is flexible with the option for children to drop in and participate for a day or to come for the whole week. Prices are very competitive and the JSA offers a daily rate or a discounted weekly rate for the full five days. The program is also open to non members and each 5 day camp purchase means kids get the benefit of a 7 day child Bronze Canggu Club membership, Bounce socks and a JSA water bottle! Operating within the grounds of the comfortingly secure environment of The Canggu Club, children are signed in at the commencement of the day and remain under the watchful eye of trained sports professionals until the end of the activities at 3pm, whereby they are released only into the care of parents and nominated guardians. Parents can relax with the knowledge that their precious cargo will be safe and actively engaged for the duration! It’s a terrific and healthy alternative to entertaining your youngsters throughout the holidays and means less stress for parents faced with the often daunting duty of coming up with something exciting and new to do each day. To register and for more information contact Canggu Club or go to jsabali.com or email jsa@cangguclub.com Phone: +62 361 8483939 or +62 828 971 93939 Jalan Canggu Club Canggu, Bali, Indonesia Luisa enjoys teaching at The Canggu Club because it is a melting pot of nationalities. Despite the obvious obstacles language barriers can create, she feels she can transmit her love for the water and passion for swimming. “It’s like a universal language!” Judging from the fun my kids seem to be having in the pool, I’d say they are definitely feeling the love. For more information about JSA swim schedule or to enquire about private lessons, email jsa@cangguclub or go to www.jsabali.com Phone: +62 361 8483939 or +62 828 971 93939

Certainly not limited to Mums alone, Dads and other guardians are more than welcome to join in the fun with their special little ones. It’s safe and fully supervised and with no risk of sharp edges or hard surfaces to cause bumps or bruises, it’s the perfect playground! Teach your child ball play and bouncing with individual trampolines for each parent and child. Jump with your bubba and let them feel that ﬂying sensation as you guide them and bounce together! For just IDR 150,000, parent and child get to enjoy 1 hour of bouncing fun with guidance from Bounce centre’s fully trained staff. Once the hour is over and the little tackers are all tired out, make your way up to the air conditioned comfort of Strike Bar to relax with a coffee and cake for mum or dad and a baby cino and fruit skewer or muffin for bub. It’s all included in the session price!

Just Like a Jolly Jumper Not all Bali houses boast door frames or anchor points conducive to hanging a Jolly Jumper, so if your little tots have a spring in their step and live to bounce then you might want to mosey on down to Canggu Club West this Monday morning. Bali’s only Bounce centre has just introduced Mums

and Bubs mornings every Monday at 10am. It’s the ideal opportunity to get out and about and meet other parents with bambinos of a similar age as well as incorporating some out of the ordinary exercise time into your young one’s daily routine. A great alternative to the usual mothers’ group morning coffee gatherings, Mums and Bubs encourages development of physical skills, teaches balance and coordination as well as using techniques to enhance skills in listening and observation.

Trampolining is a relatively new sports sensation that has recently taken the world by storm. It is energetic, safe and healthy exercise and terriﬁc for development of gross motor skills and movement all within the conﬁnes of a soft and safe environment. Take some time out for yourself and your little one this coming Monday and join in the coolest mothers’ (and fathers’) group ever! Mums and Bubs at Bounce - better than a jolly jumper any day!

Barbacoa

pine nuts chick peas and cumin whet our appetites before the main event from the grill of 8 hour wood ﬁred asado of the day with chimichurri, charred baby squid and chorizo with red pepper jam and accompanying sides of green beens with anchovy butter lemon and oregano.

Birthdays, Barbecue & Cocktails with Bite! Some weeks back, I was delighted to receive an invitation to help a gorgeous friend celebrate her arrival into the fabulous forties. Due to her large number of admirers the festivities were not held at home but instead we were asked to accompany her to hip and happening Petitenget restaurant - Barbacoa. A term believed to have originated in the Caribbean from the Taino people, (though some argue its origins are Basque) barbacoa generally refers to slow cooked meat over an open fire, grill, outdoor fireplace or pit covered with maguey/ agave leaves. It’s a style of cuisine commonly found in Latin America and whatever its etymology, one thing’s for sure - my definition is delicious! With an interior that reflects Spanish and Argentinian design, Barbacoa exudes Latin American charm from that first step through the wrought iron framed wooden doors. Aromas of succulent slow roasted meats, dark timber old world interiors, rustic red brick, lavish leather seating and even the chic coveralls of the wait staff combine to create a decadent yet warm and inviting space. No small feat when you are working with an area that seats at least 120 and that’s downstairs alone!

FOCCS Celebrates 10 Years of Fundraising The Friends of Canggu Community School (FOCCS) celebrated their ten year anniversary with style on Saturday March 14th with a black and white themed cocktail evening at the luxurious Courtyard by Marriott Seminyak Resort. The evening began with a welcome drink, canapes and live music on the verandah with Courtyard Marriott’s stunning pool area as a beautifully lit backdrop. Black and white were the colours for the night and over 100 guests enjoyed a sumptuous international buffet and entertainment throughout the evening thanks to the cool musical stylings of Canggu Community School’s very own rockin’ DJ - Mr J. CCS parent and local ﬁtness aﬁcionado Pete Manuel, was thoroughly entertaining as MC for the evening, guiding guests on a trip down memory lane with a slide show of ten years worth of FOCCS memorabilia. The evening was FOCCS’ celebration of a decade of

With a few of their margaritas and Silent Assassins (a heady mix of chilli vodka, raspberry, peach schnapps, lime juice and coriander root - healthy right?) under my belt and plates wiped clean, I thought I was unable to consume another crumb until dessert arrived and their signature ice cream sandwich appeared. Yes, spectacular! Enough said. A quick trip to the well stocked bar and with Jalapeno Margarita in hand, I take my cocktail with bite up the stairs to the mezzanine floor and out on to the verandah to an intimate dining area with a killer rice paddy view and our very own private bar. It’s the ideal possie for our party girl to enjoy her night, with room to move and a private dining table set for around thirty. The perfect place to hear birthday speeches or roastings from relatives and no need to yell over the hum of the buzzing restaurant below. Often set menus can be cause for concern but there was no need to worry as guests were treated to a selection of tastes from the menu. Tempting starters such as Peruvian Snapper Ceviche, Spanish style potatoes and fried cauliflower with dedication from selfless parents and community members since its inception over ten years ago. The numbers of parents and students have strengthened considerably since those days of CCS though the commitment to raising money for a worthy cause has always remained strong. For those not in the know, FOCCS is similar to a parents, teachers and friends organisation for the Canggu Community School. Each year they work tirelessly behind the scenes putting mammoth volunteer efforts into organising awesome fundraising events such as Halloween parties, weekly bake sales, end of year celebrations and Red Carpet events to name a few. Even in the early days when CCS was in its infancy and numbers were fewer, the FOCCS committee were always focused in their attempts to raise money for the school and local community. As well as raising money for school projects, the major beneficiaries of FOCCS funds in the past have been respected charities and worthy causes such as, Safe Childhoods, AJAR (Asia Justice and Rights), The Jodie O’Shea Orphanage, Solemen and more. FOCCS also

Whatever the occasion, staff at Barbacoa will make sure your evening is a success. Fine flavours of Latin America melded with modern cuisine, sensational cocktails and stunning decor. At Barbacoa they believe in the complete experience. “Each element is created to enhance the other, to develop a sensory ambience through flavours, aromas and atmosphere.” All I can say is bring on the next foray into the forties ladies.... as far as party venues are concerned, Barbacoa you nailed it! For bookings and information about their menus and function packages, please contact them on: Email: info@barbacoabali.com Phone: +62 361 739 233 / +62 361 739 235 www.barbacoabali.com Jalan Petitenget 14, Kerobokan, Bali contributes to the cost of education for children of CCS employees as part of the school’s Gotong Royong project. This year, funds already raised have been allocated to the Bedugul Primary School and Dharma Jati in Klungkung. Thanks to generous donations of auction prizes such as fabulous accommodation packages, jewellery pieces, framed photographs, food and beverage vouchers and much more, the 10 year anniversary evening raised IDR70 million which will be allocated to selected charities in the next 6 months and a further IDR6 million went straight to Solemen following two of their successful teddy bear auctions on the night! Historically, FOCCS events have attributed their success to the many volunteers who have willingly given their gift of time throughout the years and this one was no exception. A terrific night of reminiscing, dining and dancing was had by all and the evening was a fitting tribute to the work of FOCCS over the past decade. www.ccsbali.com Phone: +62 361 8446391

SOCIAL MEDIA BYTES BY : LIZ AFAIK

A DIFFERENT KIND OF HACKING IKEA, the world’s largest furniture retailer, recently opened two stores in Jakarta. IKEA sells “Scandinavian modern style furniture and accessories.” Under one gigantic roof, you can find everything and anything you need for the home. IKEA furniture is famous for a sleek, simple, stream lined, eco-friendly products and low price tags; what IKEA owner, Ingvar Kamprad (the multi-national company is still privately-owned), calls “democratic design.” IKEA uses inexpensive manufacturing materials, such as particleboard and plastic, to create mass-produced items cheaply. Most of IKEA’s furniture is sold un-assembled to keep costs low and consumers are expected to put the pieces together at home themselves. Somehow, in the process of self-assembly of a massproduced item, a number of creative people went a step further and began to customize their pieces, adding fabric, paint, hardware or even merging two pieces of furniture together. This trend, known as “IKEA Hacking” is gaining in popularity globally and is spread by social media, particularly Pinterest. Pinterest is a ‘personalized media platform’ where users can upload images – known as pins – or videos, onto pinboards, known as Boards, each of which has a single, unifying theme. There are well over a thousand active IKEA Hacking boards. Users either post photos of their own hacks or re-pin images of other peoples’ or both. Huffington Post’s Home section has a regular blog about IKEA hacks. Buzz Feed, a popular aggregate site, periodically collects and re-posts top IKEA hack ideas. The driving force, and appeal, behind IKEA hacking is to take an inexpensive item of furniture and customize it so it looks expensive, unique and can no longer be recognized as mass-produced. IKEA Hackers have turned bookcases into lounges and built them into the bottom of beds; they’ve turned cabinets and trays into cat beds and play towers. People create unique pieces using fabric, paint, adding posts, finials, knobs and other hardware or merging two pieces of furniture together, such as putting a desk together with bookshelves to create a custom home-office unit. A parent created a truly original hack by making a wooden bike for his toddler using two stools. Another turned the iconic blue IKEA shopping bag into a child’s raincoat. Ceramic vases used as bricks to build a wall separating a bathroom. Glass shelves used as kitchen splash-backs. The list of ideas seem to be as endless as the creative individuals re-purposing IKEA products. Recently, Apartment Therapy, a home design magazine, published an article of the most popular IKEA hacks on social media of 2014. “Nothing stirs the DIY spirit like a good IKEA hack,’ said the editors, ‘IKEA is so accessible

— anybody could stroll in there and buy a [piece] — but its Scandinavian design is deceptively simple. With a little ingenuity a box, or a table, or a stool from IKEA could become pretty much anything.”

Malaysian blogger Jules Yap, who started the blog, IkeaHackers.net, said on her site that hacks “may be as simple as adding an embellishment, [while] some others may require power tools and lots of ingenuity.” Yap is an ardent DIY-er and bargain hunter and she said that the IKEA hack ethos resonated with her own values. In 2006, Yap was searching the Internet for IKEA hacks and found “amazing ideas floating on the Internet.” She thought, “How great it would be if I could find them all in one place.” So she set up a blog and a website “to capture all the wonderful, inspiring, clever modifications done on IKEA items.” She has done a few hacks of her own and collects and posts images of other people’s. Yap’s site has grown to be the most popular site for IKEA hacking on the Internet. She receives no money from IKEA, instead, relying on income from advertising and affiliate retail links to maintain the site.

C/E/G-4 Feb. 15

On a visit to IKEA stores in Sweden and the Netherlands, Yap was able to meet with several IKEA designers and wrote later on her blog that they were “pretty tickled to see their designs turned into frankenthings.” Psychologists have even written about the hacking trend. Researchers Mike Norton, Daniel Mochon and Dan Ariely published an article in the Journal of Consumer Psychology entitled “The IKEA effect: When Labor Leads to Love.”

C/He/I-01 April 15

The researchers found that the labor involved in making alterations or additions to standard IKEA products made the hacker feel they had created items of greater value and meaning. The researchers defined this as an act of creative dissonance: adding value by creating something unique from something mass-produced, and called it the ‘IKEA effect.’ Initially, IKEA’s owner was against people hacking products. He cited safety reasons; that once a product had been altered or its intended use changed, IKEA would not be able to protect consumers from unintended effects or hazards, and any product warranty would be considered void. However, perhaps realizing how popular the trend has become, IKEA has now changed its position. Kym Beggs, PR Manager for IKEA UK and Ireland, said in an email, “…we very much appreciate the interest in our products and the fact that there are people around the world that love our products as much as we do.”

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Tenun: Handwoven Textiles of Indonesia In the newly revised edition of Tenun: Handwoven Textiles of Indonesia, the rich weaving heritage of Indonesia - both past and present - is on full display. Tracing the historical path of indigenous textiles from the country’s pre-historic era to the present, this alluring book provides a broad yet in-depth summary of the most versatile and sought after range of Indonesian woven textiles known as tenun, the term for hand weaving from spun ¿bers. Indonesia’s scattered isles hold the world’s greatest treasure trove of traditional textiles, produced in almost unlimited regional and island variations, each unique specimen with its own patterns, designs and colors. Over the past 20 years Indonesian textile designs have been given a high pro¿le in galleries, museums and catalogs, their rightful place among the world’s great indigenous arts recognized by art historians the world over. The brilliant Àaming ikat of the Torajans of south-central Sulawesi; the ancient appliqué technique of the Dayaks of Borneo; Bali’s double ikat gringsing cloths; the sophisticated ikat designs of the Lesser Sundas; the color-rich lurik of Central Java; the dazzling songket scarves and sarung of Sumatra where gold threads seem to Àoat atop the material are just a few examples of the country’s rich textile traditions. This coffee table book presents shawls, sarongs, jackets, skirts, blankets, songket, headdresses, head cloths, food and gift covers, death shrouds, curtains, wall hangings, Àoral runners, everyday woman’s dress, wedding dresses, formal court dresses and men’s wraps and even loincloths. The textiles pictured were used in bride wealth exchange, to cover the sick, to be only worn by priests or royalty. These extraordinary textiles span the whole universe of the country’s textiles from the muted high-class cloths of the aristocracy and brightly colored ritual costumes to the primitive bark cloths and crude plain-woven garments of farmers. Images of old weaving methods are juxtaposed beside photographs of contemporary technology. From as far back as 3000 B.C. when warp ikat techniques were widely practiced, weaving continues to be an important part of the life for millions of people in modern Indonesia. Yet in spite of the variety of weaving techniques and literally thousands of different designs, certain commonalities are found in all Indonesian textile cultures: the same manner of wearing textiles is found throughout the archipelago; the same methods of weaving of warp and weft threads and ikat dyeing; the most common ¿bers are plant, cotton, silk and synthetic materials; similar natural dyes like blue indigo, red from Sappanwood and brown from the morinda tree are used to color threads. The ¿rst chapter explains and illustrates each type of textile, delving not only into how the textiles were made but also anthropological and social background behind each textile tradition. The information is quite detailed and exact, worthy of serving as a springboard for additional publications - what one would expect from the ¿rst work of a textile society. Tenun is published by Cita Tenun Indonesia, an association of women who share a passion for Indonesian hand woven textiles. Like many art books documenting textiles, the text requires sustained interest. The information is accurate and useful, precisely clarifying what you are seeing, what the weaver is actually doing. This is not always obvious because ¿ner details in the photos are sometimes not easy to make out.

The signi¿cance of such salient features as bands, panels and edges and materials such as mica, shells, Àoss, silk, metal and gold threads and embroidery are unÀaggingly pointed out. The captions are indispensable to the appreciation of these mesmerizing creations, analyzing each textile’s cultural inÀuences; its symbols, designs, motifs; type of threads, fabrics, natural or chemical dye were used; method and type of loom (treadle, back-strap, breast-loom); its everyday and ritual uses, on what occasion it was worn; how and by whom the textile was worn.

Besides being appreciated for their beauty, designs are an important record that may be ‘read’ by both wearer and onlooker. If you look closely, hundreds of motifs are evident: insects, lizards, snakes, frogs, crocodiles, monkeys, dogs, horses, people, warriors, severed human heads, bunches of grapes, the tree of life, masks, ships of the dead, patterns of roses, leaves, stylized rattan vine patterns and geometric designs such as squares, speckled red bands, rows of triangles, dramatic plaids and undulating hooked lines. Some patterns have been lifted from European coins and porcelain. The book’s great strength is the wide range of sumptuous color images that adorn every page, shot and lighted in a straightforward one-dimensional manner, some so tactile that you want to caress the piece. Most images have been sourced from prestigious collections in m u s e u m s s u c h a s K T LV, Jakarta’s National Museum and Textile Museum and from the private holdings of individuals. A few venerable woven cloths are faded and stained from age and water damage, but nevertheless retain their inherent dignity and beauty. Twenty-nine vintage black & white photos of men dancing and posing in their traditional garments and women and girls weaving ikat, lurik, songket and musa wall hangings on their looms date from as early as the 1880s.

C/E/I-17 Sept 14

The index doesn’t list illustrations under island names, so if you want to see textiles made on a certain island then you have to look under the tribe’s name, i.e. Gayo of Sumatra, Iban of Kalimantan, Bugis of Sulawesi, or look up a city on the island, i.e. Kupang (West Timor), Ternate (North Maluku), Putussibau (West Kalimantan) or Waingapu (Sumba). For Àoral textiles, look under bunga; for cloths interwoven with gold thread, look under songket, etc. Drawing on the expertise of recognized academics and ¿rst-hand experience of informed curators, Tenun is a valuable addition to the steadily growing body of knowledge on Indonesian textiles. The book’s stunning compilation of little known and rarely seen textiles in myriad hues, textures and materials bridges the divide between scholarship and enjoyment, serving both the research needs of collectors, art historians and anyone who appreciates beautiful objects made by hand. Tenun: Handwoven Textiles of Indonesia, Bab Publishing 2011, ISBN 978-602-974-7300, hardcover, 192 pages, 300 color photos, dimensions 24.5 cm x 27.5 cm.

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS ROMANCE SIAM With murals of Thai elephants on one side, a tiny clean kitchen behind, glossy red ceiling beams and a little terrace facing Jl Goutama, this bustling little place called Warung Siam is an absolute treat. To our good fortune, the chef and owner, Jue Yootanorm, met his Balinese wife while studying and working in Melbourne, and they decided to marry and return to her hometown of Ubud. We chose our favorite traditional dishes, including yummy tom yum, fried ¿sh cakes, the freshest of soft spring rolls, a cheeky green curry, and sweet iced Thai tea. All were exceptional, especially the pad thai gai with its delicate lacework of egg covering the noodles. Jalan Gootama No. 7, 0812 3965 5905. BALINESE SLAM Now here’s a challenge. Balinese poets and other truly brave writers are gearing up-via a monthly online competition-for a live Balinese language poetry slam at Arma Resort on May 2. Online entrants write a poem according to the theme of the month, with winners selected by a team of linguists and by the public via Facebook. The best will show their skills at the live competition in honor of Saraswati Day, the Balinese day of Knowledge, at Arma Museum and Resort. The live poetry slam will include not both the online participants, and competitors from youth organizations and banjars across Bali. Ubud’s ex-pats vary from fluent Indonesian (or even Balinese) speakers to others who’ve not yet managed to grasp a single sentence. However, every poetry slam needs a good audience, and we can all help with that! The monthly online contest is hosted by BASAbali WIKI, a collaboration of linguists from Udayana University, Badan Bahasa, and BASAbali. More from BASAbali WIKI on Facebook. LEARNING BALINESE Want to add a poem but don’t yet know Balinese? Room4Dessert Chef Will Goldfarb has made learning Balinese fun with his relaxed “Bourbon and Bahasa Bali” sessions, Thursdays at 5.30pm. More advanced and private Balinese language classes are available at Cinta Bahasa. Multimedia Balinese language software is also available (online and DVD form, at a heavily subsidized $25 from BASAbali.org), proceeds support conversational Balinese and Balinese script instruction for middle schools and high schools in Bali. A YOUNGER STEP As I hauled myself off the plane in Melbourne at 6am, the combination of a stinker Àu cold and uncomfortable sleep transformed me into a stumbling stiff, thumping its weary feet into the ground. I looked and felt a million years old. Then a little voice in my head said, “Step lightly, Jen, on the balls of your feet. Relax and loosen up. Move your whole body. Swing those arms.” And I did, and suddenly I felt more alive, and more cheerful, and yes de¿nitely younger, and very grateful to Taksu Spa’s Tyr Throne and his “Youthing” exercises. Tyr’s professional background as a premier dancer had left his back in a sorry state. Refusing to accept a verdict of permanent disability, he researched how to slow down or even reverse our body’s tendency to swap the light step of youth for an ageing shamble. Tyr holds intensive series and also regular weekly classes, teaching his series of 22 well-considered “youthing” exercises. Reservations@TaksuSpa.com; Phone: 0361 971490. Jalan Goutama South.

YOU HEARD IT FIRST First bit of goss. Joshira chef/owner at LaRaMona Tapas on Jl Dewi Sita, is changing his menu soon. This is important information for two reasons; if you haven’t been there already, get in quickly so you don’t miss the current menu. And then go back in a month or so. (Ph. 0813 3737 2294.) Secondly: if you’ve lived in Ubud for a while, you’ll know that there are some very practical and architecturally innovative buildings, resorts and even schools here, made from bamboo. And there are great projects - like BaliSpirit Festival’s Bali Regreen, a long-term reforestation (bamboo) project up in Bali’s arid north-east – that are introducing this fast-growing and sustainable building product to various parts of the island. So I guess it’s not surprising that Bali’s expertise in creating magni¿cent resorts with bamboo has come to the attention of other countries. No more details yet, but I happened to meet a very impressive design team, on their way to a planning conference in…. But I can’t say any more yet. Watch this space.

Nostalgia about ‘the good old days’ is de¿nitely part of the appeal. Everyone spends so much time online, in front of a screen, that the idea of sitting down with a piece of paper and a pen is somewhat quaint. We started playing with the format a little and have now expanded the roster to include the occasional Men of Letters, and People of Letters shows, and they’re enormously fun to put together.

How did you decide on the ‘letter to a theme or situation model’ such as, Letter to the Night I’d Rather Forget or Letter to my 12-year-old-self and other provocative topics?

Women of Letters: A love letter to missives By Uma Anyar

“Women of Letters is the perfect alchemy of literary art-party and storytelling, with drinking and bonding for all genders of truth-seekers. Marieke and Michaela deserve a medal for creating this happening while we’re on earth.” - Amanda Palmer In an odd way the creators of Women of Letters, Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire, can thank the internet and its offspring: texting, emails and especially Twitter, for their success at reviving the art of letter writing. No, this is not a nostalgic plea for a return to the good old days. But nostalgia entwined with a love of literature is at the heart of the very successful Women of Letters project launched in Melbourne, Australia in 2012. It has revived not only a passion for correspondence, but also the joy of listening to the spoken word in communal settings such as a cafés and pubs. Writers Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire started the event as a fun experiment to give emerging female writers a platform, but in three years they have watched it grow into a literary phenomenon, with satellite events spanning the UK, Indonesia, USA and beyond.

We usually wait until we have all the guests for a particular show con¿rmed, then look at what that group of women might have something to talk about. The themes need to be speci¿c enough to give the writers some scope, but broad enough that every guest won’t tell the same story. It’s a careful balancing act. How do you solicit and select the letters you publish? And how do you decide which letters you read in performances.

A Women of Letters reading aloud performance is an emotional event – sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartrending. These are letters to life itself and it’s highly recommended to attend at the next Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, set for October 28 – November 1, 2015; its third year at the Festival. Curator Michaela McGuire kindly agreed to answer a few questions for us, below. How did the idea of letter writing turn into the lively performances you have done at Ubud Writers & Readers Festival? The initial idea was creating a lively literary event that showcased brilliant women; the letter-writing angle came a few weeks later. Marieke and I wanted to stage an event that allowed interesting, funny, smart women to share their work on a regular basis, and we thought that letter-writing might be an interesting format. We could never have predicted that after ¿ve years we’d have toured that show all around the world, and especially not in Ubud! Women of Letters has generated Men of Letters and People of Letters. Why is this idea so popular at this point in time? Is this a response to texts and Twitter that are all about brevity and speed?

Everyone who reads a letter at one of our shows is invited to have their letter published in a collection, and it’s entirely up to them whether they want to have their letters available to the world. One or two from each show generally decide that they want their letter shared at that one show, and never again, and we respect that enormously. We don’t audition our guests and often don’t know what their letters will be about until they’re read live on stage. It’s lovely to be as surprised as the audience is. As co-curators of ¿ve books of Women of letters, including: Women of Letters, Six Women of Letters, Sincerely, Yours Truly, Between Us and the latest collection Airmail, how do you divide up the work-load? What does it take to produce these various collections of letters? An awful lot of emails! There’s usually 100 or so contributors to initially approach for each volume, and it takes quite a while to talk the process through with each writer. For the ¿rst three or four books I was handling that side of things, until our very gracious editor at Penguin offered to coordinate the letters, permissions and signatures of all those contributors before turning them into beautiful books. My inbox has mercifully been far less busy since then. Which of the ¿ve books is your favorite and why?

At-capacity events have spurned bestselling books, the most recent of which is Airmail (out March 25), a collection including readers from Ubud Writers & Readers Festival such as Anne Summers, Lionel Shriver, Ketut Yuliarsa, Khairani Barokka, Val McDermid, Eimear McBride, Lily Yulianti Farid and Carlos Andrés Goméz. As the events ban recordings to ensure each is a ‘safe space’ for the writers, being able to read these insights are a rare pleasure.

That’s a little like being asked to pick your favourite child. Is it safe enough to say that the baby of the family is our current favourite? Airmail is such a gorgeous book. It serves as a bit of a travel diary for us too, reading back over what transpired on stages everywhere from San Francisco to Dublin to Ubud. I had the pleasure of attending your 2014 WoL event at UWRF. It was truly enjoyable, funny and inspiring. Can you give our readers any idea as to what we can expect to experience this coming October? We’re awaiting the announcement of this year’s festival guests as anxiously as you are! We very much hope that it will be a similarly enjoyable experience for festival-goers this year. Once we’re told who’s attending the festival, we’ll do our best to ensure that there’s a diverse mix of funny, eclectic, fascinating women (and People) involved in our shows. I have read all of your proceeds go to Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary. What brought this idea about and how does it work?

Property - Opinion

Hurrah for the Minister, Three Cheers for Susi Raspberries for the Usual Suspects, Time to Shape Up…

Something long overdue with long-reaching, significant and hopefully beneficial effects for Bali, the Balinese and foreign residents on the island occurred last month. First, on March 10 Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning and Head of the State Land Board, Ferry Baldan made an announcement clarifying beyond any doubt something we all either knew or should have known already. In a statement to the press the Minister said “Foreigners are absolutely not allowed to own an inch of land in Indonesia under the constitution of Indonesia.” He went on to say that the government intends to clamp down on all contravention of the law so as to eliminate the glaring gap between theory and practice. The Minister emphasized that the national government means business, with particular reference to the illegal ownership of land by foreigners, especially in popular destinations such as Bali and Lombok and that sweeping steps are to be put into effect enforcing the law, which will include the resumption by the state of all land held illegally. If that sounds to you like bad news, or a cynical land grab designed to dispossess mostly innocent but badly-advised foreign residents, you would be only half right. It is in fact, a long overdue and first positive step in a process, which, correctly applied, can greatly benefit all foreigners currently owning or controlling land illegally in Indonesia via nominees. Minister Baldan went on to make the specific point that this step was not intended to punish or disadvantage foreigners holding land through nominees and that they would have 18 months to two years to regularize their tenures and protect their investment under the various forms of land tenure open to them under existing law. Only after that period of grace and following proper investigation would the state resume land not held in compliance with the law. A second very positive development was a half-day workshop that took place on 26 March in the Best Western Hotel on Sunset Road in Seminyak entitled “Indonesian Law for Foreigners – The Nominee Crisis & the Path Forward” staged by an organization calling itself K3ni in collaboration with various academic and NGO bodies concerned with the land issue. The event was specifically intended to initiate a forum for discussion of the issues for foreign residents, who have employed the device of nominee ownership, along with the various professionals who have advised them in this process, with a view to a dialogue expressing the concerns of those affected to the State Land Board.

The organizers expected a turnout of some 40 people but over 300 people turned up. The composition of the attendance was interesting and revealing, comprising 70 percent expats, 50% or who had a direct interest in the issue of nomineeship and 30% were in the realty business. Of the remaining 20%, notaries and lawyers were conspicuous by their scarcity. Moving force behind the event Susi Johnston, who has herself undergone a truly harrowing experience of a nominee ownership gone horribly wrong, outlined the staggering, if not shameful, scale of the problem put together over the past two years by NGP, academic and legal researchers. They found that an estimated: - 50,000 foreign residents lived in Bali - 7,500 illegal dwellings occupied by foreigners under nominee ownership - 3,000 investment properties held by foreigners via nominee structures - average value of each of such properties being US$800,000 - total value of properties at risk: US$8.4 billion - 140 such properties currently with the courts - some 5,000 nominee properties likely to be in dispute over the period 2015-24 - cost of nominee conflicts to the public purse as of 2014: US$11.4 million - 1,260 public servants engaged in processing nominee-rel ated conflicts. How on earth did it come to this in just 15 short years? Following those sobering revelations a distinguished panel of academic, legal and NGO speakers explained the law and the legal solutions available, while the audience, mostly foreign occupiers, sought clarification as it related to their situations. For the most part the best practical and available solution on offer is for a foreigner to convert a nominee title to Hak Pakai (right to occupy). This is a straightforward and inexpensive process with all reasonable protections an investor can expect, providing the certainty of at least 25-50 years occupancy, possibly longer. The tricky bit is obtaining agreement between the beneficiary and the nominee to make the conversion. There’s the crux…, and there’s 18 months to two years to swing it. Space does not permit further elaboration here on the issues raised. Anyone with an interest in the subject should make a point of visiting the K3ni website www.k3ni-bali.org where much of the existing essential information has already been posted, along with solutions and onward breaking news. The site is

intended as a personal tool for those affected and participation is welcomed. Indeed, this is the start, but can only be the beginning, of what will almost certainly be an interesting and complex process. A good result will depend on how effectively these activities are supported by those most directly concerned. One thing Ms Johnston was clear about in addressing the problem was the need to move on and address what has to be done, to let bygones be bygones, not point fingers. Several members of the audience remarked something to the effect that forgiveness was good, but not if it provided a charter for the self-serving parties that created the mess simply got a second bite at the apple. Two things are clear to this correspondent. First, these developments are likely to create significant movements in the residential property market as many existing occupiers seek to cash in and potential new buyers misunderstand the actual benefits of these developments and choose other destinations. Second, that the solution to the problem will be a process. One that must inevitably involve the very people who either created this mess or benefited from it. Whether buying or selling the services of legal and realty professionals will be required. This time around foreign residents should get smart and use organizations like K3ni to share their experience, so that those serving the industry with competence and integrity are the ones to prosper. The elephant in this particular living room are the courts in Bali. Given the potential for incompetent, bigoted and corrupt decisions being handed down, combined with the absence of precedent and case law, which serves to hold errant judges to the straight and narrow, and given the absence the requirement to show grounds for appealing an unwelcome decision, the process of changing land title can all too easily end in dispute. Indeed, we are already experiencing the creeping criminalization of the nominee situation, as certain unscrupulous parties seek to profit from and prolong the situation. With the formation of the K3ni forum a good start has been made. How incremental, how fast and how effective that process is in a real world, very much depends upon how effective the Balinese, recognizing the dangers, and the foreign residents affected, collaborate. At considerable personal cost Susi Johnston, together with her Indonesian associates, have taken a first giant step. Without them it is hard to see how we could ever have got to the starting gate. The best way we can show our thanks is to make the process work. ParacelsusAsia

Question: I have liked this girl for a while now, and we seem to have strong chemistry. Sometimes we hang out, and there are moments when I wonder if we’re going to kiss. The feelings seem mutual, but I don’t want to be romantic with her because she is already dating someone else, and we’re functioning fine as friends.

angry that she spent my birthday with him because she knows how I feel about him, but she acts as if I shouldn’t care. She’s the kind of person who tries earnestly to “fix” people and is tooth-achingly sweet, but all the time she is oblivious and ignorant. I’m tired of feeling horrible because I have worked hard to come up from where I was.

How can I deal with this feeling of attraction when I don’t want it? My current strategy is to think about how creepy would be if I thought we had a spark and she didn’t, but that doesn’t appease my annoyance for long. Also, I should probably not mention any of this to her, right?

I have tied everything from talking to her straight out about how horrible she makes me feel -- and telling her to leave me alone -- to trying to let us drift apart. Right now she is back home while I am here in Bali on holiday, and everything is great, but I dread the day when I return, and she starts trying to fix my life.

Dr. ZZ: My suggestion is to hang out with her less and explore other dating/romantic opportunities. Let the attraction subside naturally. If she asks you why, and you’re fairly sure you’d like to start something up with her, tell her that you’re pretty sure that, if you kept hanging out so much together, you’re apt to end up making out, and you don’t kiss girls who have boyfriends. On the other hand, if she asks and you’re sure you don’t want to start anything up with her, having chemistry with someone doesn’t mean you have to act on it. Chill out, and enjoy the friendship in smaller doses. Find someone else who welcomes your attention. Question: When I was younger, up until university, I was a really wild. I grew up in an abusive home with family members going drugs and continually trying to commit suicide, but I tried to stay on track and funneled my rage and delinquency into my studies. Consequently, I ended up graduating from graduate school with honors. I’m happy with my life now; my career is starting to pick up, and I have my own business, but I have a friend who still sees me the same old way I used to be and keeps trying to make me feel rotten about myself. Not intentionally, but hey! Not only does she try to fix me; she berates me about how I live my life and faults me for having no boyfriend, no kids and no interest in marriage. She’s angry and wants me to “grow up” in spite of the fact that I have both an under-graduate and a graduate degree. I know she’s never had to go through the hardships I have, and I’ve never told her how bad my family was, but this is driving me nuts. I have no intention of changing who I am; we barely spend time together, and she acts as if we hang out every day and she’s my best friend. Our friendship has been on the rocks ever since she took the side of my ex who destroyed a lot of my life’s work, set me back two years, and took all my friends in our breakup. I’m super

Dr. ZZ: Sometimes friendships that sustain us during one part of our lives become toxic when the people involved get stuck in old roles and don’t know how to move out of the past. Back when you and this friend first met, you were a victim, and she played the role of rescuer (“She’s the kind of person who tries earnestly to ‘fix’ people and is tooth-achingly sweet”). Apparently, part of her identity is still based in that dynamic, and to keep seeing herself that way she needs you to keep fulfilling your old role in her life. The old you is the barometer she uses to measure and value herself. She may even be jealous of your accomplishments; so it’s convenient for her to ignore them and focus instead on the things she thinks you lack. Most likely, she is unhappy with some of her own choices and drowns that unhappiness by overly investing in (i.e., “fixing”) other people’s lives. Unfortunately, she isn’t seeing you; she’s seeing herself in relation to you and trying to keep that relationship constant. Your letter could be about any relationship that has failed to evolve. How likely are you to get what you need from her? From the sounds of it, the two of you have little in common any longer to base a friendship on. No one knows how to fail to see another like family members, old friends, and long-term relationship partners who think that things that happened in the past constitute data that allows us to make assumptions about how things are now. You have every right to be angry because this woman is making her memory of you more important than the real, actual you who is standing right in front of her. It’s as if you don’t exist. She erases you in order to feel connected and powerful. If she can’t find the reset button, my suggestion is to ditch her. At some point, even the best of reruns gets old.

Food Synergy It would therefore appear to make no sense for healthcare practitioners, be they conventional or alternative, to tell patients to take multivitamins and antioxidants, or for patients to self-prescribe, when there is so little support in medical research for their doing so.This is why the recent American Journal of Clinical Nutrition research addressing this issue in their report “Food synergy: an operational concept for understanding nutrition”, which stresses the importance of whole food and does not buy into the synthetic nutrient hype, is so valuable. It tells us that anyone eating a diet consisting solely of purified (read single or synthetic) nutrients, without benefit of the co-ordination inherent to food, may not thrive and probably won’t enjoy optimal health. Food synergy, based on the interrelations between constituents in foods, is dependent on the balance within the food, how well the constituents survive digestion, and the extent to which they appear biologically active at the cellular level. The report defines key aspects of food synergy as: • a buffer effect, i.e. the effect of a large intake of a particular nutrient varies depending on if it is taken in concentrated form or as part of a whole food. • nutrients can affect each other’s absorption, such as copper-zinc and manganese-iron. These interdependent nutrients tend to appear together in foods, but often not in isolated supplements. • It matters whether the nutrients have been produced by technologic or biological processes. Trans fat produced in ruminant animals (such as conjugated linoleic acids in dairy products) are beneficial, whereas trans fats produced in the processing of industrial seed oils are highly toxic. The report goes on to provide evidence why whole foods are more effective than supplements in meeting nutrient needs, e.g.: • tomato consumption has a greater effect on human

Putting it all together…

Alas, the world is not this simple, nor is the science, or the construct put upon it, always reliable. Even given the knowledge and the determination to eat a nutritionally optimum diet from whole foods, not to mention the cash it takes, you are going to have a hard time doing that. Realistically all you can do is inform yourself and do your best. When it comes to supplementation. Caveat emptor! Not only are most not effective but, even if they were, they wouldn’t do you any good because they are not formulated in a therapeutic dose. It is not even true to say that all synthetic supplements are no good. Some, properly taken, are. The essential point is this: bearing in mind the above, unless you have a therapeutic purpose in mind, just eat as naturally as you can and you’ll probably do pretty well for yourself. If you want to tweak things a bit for yourself via supplementation you need to consult a clinical nutritionist, not a charlatan or MLM’er. Get a benchmark of your vitamin and hormonal levels and then see what can be done. That way not only will you save yourself money but you can actually assess and address some of the conditions you may have. Then, and only then, it can make sense to try and tweak things a bit. Orthomolecular medicine (i.e. nutritional supplementation) properly applied can actually do quite a lot of important and fun things for you, from enhanced cognition to a healthy heart, even as far as optimum health.

Pathways to Healing the Body, Mind & Spirit By Michele Cempaka

Getting to the Point with Ken Ken Dinsmore hales from Australia and has been living and working in Bali for the past three years. He works out of Manik Organik in Sanur which is located on Jalan Tamblingan. Ken is fully registered and accredited to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. He has 25 years experience as a TCM practitioner, specializing in the management of muscular skeletal conditions, digestive disorders, skin conditions and pain management. In addition, Ken offers dietary and nutritional advice to support people in enhancing their wellbeing. Ken’s health mantra is simple, if the body/mind balance is strong focused and harmonized, then disease will not manifest. “Health and wellbeing can be achieved only by remaining centred in spirit, guarding against the squandering of energy and promoting the constant flow of chi and blood, maintaining a harmonious balance of yin and yang, adapting to the changing seasonal and yearly macroscopic influences and nourishing ones life preventatively. This is the way to a long and happy life.” Quote from the “Nei Jing the classic of internal medicine”. During my appointment with Ken, he took the time to explain the function of the elements: earth, wind, fire, air and water, and their relationship to one’s state of wellbeing. I came for a consultation for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This has something that has plagued me on and off for several years and felt that it was time to address this. Ken asked me many questions to ascertain my condition and the best approach to treating it. He has a wonderful ‘bedside manner’ which allowed me to instantly relax and feel safe in his care. Ken determined that two types of treatments would be beneficial for me: TRE and Acupuncture. ‘TRE’ are tension and trauma release exercises which activate a natural instinctual shaking mechanism, which causes the muscles and fascia to relax. This helps to reduce any pressure on the spine, neck, shoulders and pelvis. For me personally, the treatment was focused on helping me release any tension in more core that might be contributing to my IBS. Ken explained that many tension patterns and contractions are deep inside the body, often without our conscious awareness. TRE uncovers these less conscious but obvious tension patterns and releases them at this deeper level. When this occurs, the body becomes more flexible and strong. After my TRE treatment which was only about 10 minutes, Ken proceeded with Acupuncture. For those unfamiliar with Acupuncture, this is a modality used in Chinese medicine which involves putting needles into specific meridian points that will facilitate the flow of Chi in a person’s body. It’s like sending a message to all the parts of you that are out of balance to realign and start functioning at their optimum.

I appreciated how Ken took the time to explain which acu-points in my body he was putting the needles into and how these points were related to treating my IBS. Once the needles were in place, I relaxed for a few minutes and then Ken returned to take them out. As I slowly sat up, I could feel a noticeable difference in my mind, body and spirit. I felt very relaxed and balanced – the feeling was akin to getting a great massage. I knew that the treatments I did with Ken had already started my healing process and I felt hopeful that with regular treatments and dietary changes (Ken suggested that I get four or five more treatments) that I would be able to completely heal myself.

C/He/I-24 Dec 14

Acupuncture is not extremely painful. The needles used are very thin and are barely perceptible. There are only a few seconds of minute pain when the practitioner turns the needles to facilitate more energy flow. I find this treatment to be 98% relaxing and only 2% discomforting. I would highly recommend acupuncture, because it doesn’t just treat the symptom – it addresses the complete being on all levels. On April 3rd at 5 pm, Ken will be giving a free talk at Manik Organik in Sanur on ‘Anxiety Disorder’. This is a group of disorders that characterizes persistent feelings of high anxiety with continual discomfort, tension and/or fear of panic attacks usually without reasonable cause. Ken will explain how TCM can help many people with this disorder, so that they can be free from anxiety and live a fulfilling life. For more information about Ken’s talk or to book a private session with him, please call: 085857139015. The following week I will also be giving a free talk on April 10th at 5pm at Manik Organik, about two wonderful healing modalities that I both teach and practice: Access BARS™ and Reiki. We all have the capacity to heal ourselves and others. Anyone can learn and practice the BARS™ and Reiki. Both of these modalities can help you reduce stress, sleep well, have more energy, clear limiting beliefs, release trauma and fear, heal chronic pain and much more. I will also be doing some demonstrations of both so come and experience the wonderful healing energies of Access BARS™ and Reiki!

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) By Ayu Spicy This is a take off of a baked sardine r e c i p e from a couple of years ago. I t ’s e a s y to do and o h s o satisfying and tasty. The browned outside of the ¿sh with the herbs and garlic compliments the juicy inner meat. For a fabulous dinner serve the ¿sh with a green salad and Ayu Spicy’s Favorite Oven Fried Potatoes -http://baliadvertiser.biz/articles/food_glorious/2014/ fried_potatoes.html.

Grilled Mackerel with Garlic, Lemon and Herbs Serves 6 - 8 Ingredients: - 2 - 3 medium sized mackerel steaks, about 2 cm thick (called tenggiri in the supermarket) -

1/2 cup lemon or lime juice 3 Tbl. olive oil salt and pepper, to taste 2 cloves garlic, ¿nely chopped 5 shallots, ¿nely chopped 2 Tbl. parsley, ¿nely chopped 2 Tbl. fresh oregano, ¿nely chopped (or 1 Tbl. dried oregano)

-1 Tbl. olive oil

Directions: Wipe off the mackerel steaks and pat dry. Lay them in a single layer in glass or ceramic dish. In a small bowl make the marinade by combining the lemon or lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, shallots, parsley and the oregano. Pour the marinade evenly over the ¿sh steaks, turning them and cover with cling wrap. Put into the fridge for 1-2 hours, turning the steaks a couple of times. Remove the ¿sh from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. When ready to cook heat a stove top grill. Brush the grill with olive oil. Remove the steaks from the marinade lay them on the heated grill. Brush the topside with olive oil and when the ¿rst side is nicely browned Àip the steaks over and cook until that side is also browned, being careful not to over cook or the ¿sh will be dry. (You can also use an oven broiler to cook the ¿sh or pan fry.) While the ¿sh is grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil, reducing the liquid by about 1/3. Serve each mackerel steak with a smear of the hot marinade on top. Pour the remaining marinade into a small pitcher for the table so each diner can add more as desired. Buon Appetito!

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

HELICOBACTER….The New Hero??

C/He/I-18 March 15

Allergies in the 21st Century In the western world there’s an epidemic of allergies. Think about it. When you went to school how many students had allergies? It was quite rare right? These days it is a relatively common occurrence in any group of children. People suffer various degrees of allergies, from stomach intolerances to full-blown anaphylaxis. In the 21st century, so many people are allergic to different foods – egg white, milk, shell¿sh, wheat, nuts & peanuts is one that can be quite dangerous. In the good old days, there was plenty of poverty, hard times and sickness, but allergies were very rare. But today in the Western world, there’s an epidemic of allergies. The question is, why? Well, the answer might be tied up with a germ. The Helicobacter pylori - a very unusual tummy bug. This is a germ that lives in the stomach of more than half of all the humans on Earth. Could it be that our lifestyles are too clean? And that we’re not exposing ourselves to bugs that help build our immune systems? New research by Nobel Prize winner, Professor Barry Marshall, reveals that the ulcer causing gut bacteria H Pylori could help prevent allergies. As most of us in the western world don’t have the bug but we do have allergies, its absence in our gut may be the culprit. Marshall discovered that H. Pylori caused ulcers. The great news being that everybody with ulcers can be cured in a week or two now with some antibiotics. But now these bacteria might have a good side - preventing allergies. And amazingly, these days, Marshall is trying to recast the germ as a medicine. In fact, in 90% of people the bug is harmless. And that’s one of the curious things about Helicobacter - normally, a disease-causing bacteria makes everyone sick. The other odd thing is Helicobacter is very common, especially in the developing world, where the majority of people carry it. Maybe the body needs it in some way. New information is that these bacteria and some other germs dampen down the immune system and perhaps

give us about 50% protection from allergic phenomena. It’s called the hygiene hypothesis. Many believe we have allergies these days because our world is too hygienic and bug-free. That’s unlike 70 years ago when Helicobacter was common in Australia because family sizes were bigger, drinking-water less clean and kids played around more in the dirt. So, give all the kids these days a good dose of Helicobacter, allergy problems solved? Not so soon. There are a couple of issues to deal with ¿rst. Number one Helicobacter does cause stomach ulcers in 10% of people. And in 1% it causes stomach cancer. So to turn this germ into a medicine, it ¿rst has to be made completely safe. The good news is Helicobacter usually only causes problems when there’s been a long-term infection, not short-term use as a medicine. So looking into the nottoo-distant future we could be boosting our immune systems and tolerance to allergens by taking a probiotic-like drink. Let’s hope it’s not too long before there’s a whole new treatment for allergies.

LOTION FOR YOUR BODY There are many kinds of body lotion on the market. With body lotion for aging skin, for sagging skin, for dry skin, for blemished skin, for cellulite, and for stretch marks, it seems like there are a dozen lotions on the market for every skin complaint. Body lotion with aloe, for example, is a product that can be used to treat skin that has been burned either by heat or by prolonged sun exposure. Lotion that is made with cocoa butter is often used to treat skin is lined with stretch marks, which may be the result of pregnancy or weight gain. There are also lotions that can be used to help treat acne, which sometimes effects the skin on the back and shoulders. Cellulite body lotion is used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is normally used on the upper legs, thighs, and buttocks. Sometimes it is also used on the upper arms. Lotion that is intended to help ¿rm the skin is also used in similar areas. While these lotions may help to make cellulite less visible and to make the body look a bit ¿ rmer, they are not miracle potions. Rather, they should be used along with a healthy diet and regular exercise to help reduce cellulite and tone the body. Applying body lotion is one of the few inexpensive ways that people can pamper themselves. As millions of users will agree, body lotion provides many bene¿ts to people who make time to use it on a regular basis. Body cream and body lotion are both used to prevent dry, cracked skin and keep it supple and moisturized. Lotions and creams contain both an oily agent, or phase, and a watery agent. Both help replenish oil in the skin and protect against loss of moisture. Body cream is heavier and contains a higher viscosity, or sticky mixture of water and oil. Creams penetrate the skin and provide a barrier that prevents more moisture loss from the skin than lotion. Creams, however, tend to feel greasier. A pharmaceutical or dermatology cream is usually an even mixture of 50 percent oil and 50 percent water. However, the ratio of water and oil in cosmetic cream and lotion varies and is also affected by other ingredients, such as paraf¿n. Because body cream is thicker, it is usually sold in a tub or jar container. Body lotions are not as sticky and are more readily absorbed by the skin because they have a lower viscosity than body creams. This form of moisturizer usually has a higher water content, comes in a bottle and can be poured out in a liquid form. Lotion is good for skin that is not excessively dry or when it is preferable not to have a sticky, greasy feeling on the skin. Lotion formulated for the body can be drying and irritating to the more sensitive skin on your face. Your body’s skin is thicker and tougher than the skin on your face, so companies can get away with putting fragrances and cheaper ingredients in a body lotion. Not to mention, the

exposure your face encounters on a daily basis due to nature’s elements are greater than the rest of your body. This article describes how to put on lotion effectively so that you get the most from it and your skin absorbs all the goodness. 1. Purchase high quality lotion from your local store, there are many brands to choose from. Select one that’s right for you. For example, if you have dry skin, choose a lotion for advanced healing or ultra-mois turizing. Lotions are available in many scents too.

C/He/G-18 March 15

2. Pour small amounts at a time into your palm and warm. Apply liberally to each section of your body at a time (avoid mucous membranes!). Pay special attention to areas prone to dryness such as hands, legs, elbows, and knees. 3. Apply as often as you like, but applying lotion right after a shower or bath will help retain more moisture. 4. Make sure the lotion is fully absorbed before putting on clothing and don’t apply a lot. If you are looking for a body lotion that provides moisture for several hours, a natural lotion that contains milk and honey is the best option. Several companies make this type of lotion, and it is available at most stores.

C/He/G-4 March 15

My two favorite kinds of body lotion are cocoa butter lotion and baby lotion. Both types are soothing to dry, chapped skin, and are also good choices for people with sensitive skin. For the best results, I like to use baby lotion in the winter or raining season in Bali because it is rich and moisturizing. In the summer months, I prefer to use lotion that contains cocoa butter because it is nice to smooth all over your body after a day in the sun. It also has the smell of summer!

Most emollients can be used safely and effectively with no side effects. However, burning, stinging, redness, or irritation may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. So, what is your favourite lotion??

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets which are vital for tissue regeneration, wound healing, creating new blood and stimulating stem cells. Because PRP is developed from your own blood, it is inherently safe and free from transmissible diseases. PRP Skin Cells Bio-stimulation is used for: Skin Rejuvenation by smoothing out wrinkles & folds, encouraging new collagen production and by improving skin colour, elasticity & density. PRP is particularly affective for fine lines under the eyes that are difficult to treat by conventional rejuvenation therapy. It is also effective for treating acne scars, saggy skin, eye bags, and neck wrinkles. Skin Regeneration by accelerating the process of wound healing after sports injuries, burns and aesthetic medicine treatments such as laser and IPL. Hair Regeneration by nourishing the hair follicles and increasing blood supply which activate the dormant hair roots within months.

The Cobbler* A New York City cobbler discovers that he has a magical leather stitching machine. When he repairs the shoes of his customers, and tries them on, he finds that he becomes the person who owns the shoes. Initially, he has some fun with his new found ‘trick’, but, eventually, he puts the gift to good work, thwarting the plans of an evil slum landlord. Tom McCarthy’s new comedy is very witty and very clever. Much imagination has gone into making this charming magical tale. Adam Sandler, as the cobbler, is also quite delightful, and not in the least bit annoying or mannered. This comes as a nice surprise. The Last of Robin Hood* Australian actor Errol Flynn was a famous Matinee Idol from the Golden Years of Hollywood. He was probably best remembered for his performance in ‘The Adventures of Robin Hood’ (1938). Flynn was also remembered as a notorious drunkard and womanizer. For the later part of his life he had to live with the slur “In like Flynn”. In 1957, as his career was flickering to a close, Flynn was to meet a beautiful but underage actress. They embarked on a torrid affair, which was urged on by the girl’s scheming stage-mother. An incredible scandal was to follow. Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, and, Dakota Fanning, are all terrific in this bio-pic, which will only have appeal to Movie Buffs. Those unfamiliar with the Legend of Errol Flynn will wonder what all the fuss was about, but, the film has to be watched from a 1950s perspective. Fifty Shades of Grey I guess, by now, we all know what this movie is all about; so, we will not dwell on the plot here. Sam Taylor Johnson’s screen adaptation of E. L. James’ novel is very smooth. It literally follows the book page by page. Maybe, when Ms. James wrote the story, she had a screenplay in mind. Johnson’s highly successful movie is also one of those melodramas full of glamorous people, living glamorous lives, in glamorous apartments and restaurants. Let’s face it; this movie makes a not-so-glamorous subject very glamorous. Dakota Johnson is great as the innocent ‘submissive’, while, I am not convinced by newcomer Jamie Dornan as the sexy ‘dominant’. Still, let’s see how the rest of the franchise plays out. If it gets any better or worse. Exodus, Gods and Kings* Ridley Scott takes a ‘revisionalist’ approach in his treatment of the biblical story of Moses. He more or less sets out to prove that Moses’ so-called miracles were nothing more than natural events. Some of this is quite acceptable. The Nile turning red and the plagues of frogs and locusts, for instance, are shown as natural phenomenon. The parting of the Red Sea and the Passover are just a little harder to write off. All-the-same, Ridley Scott makes a pretty good epic, with spectacular sets and costumes and etc etc etc. Christian Bale would not be my first choice as Moses, but, he gives a reasonable enough performance. Cecil B. DeMille can stop rolling in his grave. His ‘campy’ 1956 extravaganza still remains the best screen version. The Last Five Years This is a surprisingly enjoyable little musical. Richard Lagravenese takes a slight Off-Broadway show and adapts it to the big screen. When a young actress and a young novelist first meet, they are struggling young artists. Five years later, success for one of them has taken its toll, and, their shaky marriage is rapidly falling apart. Their story is told out in song and dance. These musical routines are not really all that memorable, but, somehow, you do find yourself interested and involved in this couples’ marital problems. Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan both give very convincing performances. Top Five Real life stand-up comic and actor, Chris Rock, plays a stand-up comic and actor who wants to be taken seriously. To do this, he allows a lovely reporter to follow him around one day, and, ask some intrusive questions about the failure of his latest movie. Of course, a romance between the pair develops.

GREENSPEAK by Ibu Kat

Growing More Rice on Less Land

Development continues to erode agricultural land all over the world, but we still need to eat. Here in Bali we lose about 1,000 hectares of productive land each year to roads, malls, villas and hotels. Rice fields that have been farmed for over a millennia are disappearing under the relentless crawl of concrete. This is progress, they tell me. Then there’s the indisputable fact that very few Balinese kids want to be rice farmers when they grow up. We’re coming to the end of an era, but food security is a growing issue.

costs, greater yields and huge savings of water. But of the 200 farmers trained in SRI by Tri Hita Karana Bali Foundation since 2008, most have continued to use the technique.

Subak is the word for a collective of rice farmers in a single irrigation area who cooperate closely with each other and with other subaks to ensure that every rice field on the island will receive enough water. The shortage of water for irrigation is so serious that many subaks can no longer grow rice. This has caused many farmers to take a serious look at SRI. Recently the 40 hectare Subak Penginyan in Payangan near Rice has been the foundation of Balinese culture and diet for Ubud agreed that all of its 70 farmers would use SRI or pay at least 1,200 years. Every aspect of its growth cycle and a heavy fine. This unique agreement came about after harvest was attended by rituals and observing the increased yield over ceremonies. Prayers and offerings three harvest cycles and is fresh water crabs, eels, to the rice goddess Dewi Sri protected under awig awig dragonflies, snakes and legions (customary law). Training appealed for a good harvest and of busy insects have returned enough rice for all. Farming was provided by the Gianyar communities worked closely to Department of Agriculture. to the padi and are slowly distribute available irrigation Department head Ir. I Gusti Ayu rehabilitating the soil water. Dewi hopes that every subak in Bali will be using SRI some day. “Farmers used to be so connected to the land and had respect for Ibu Pertiwi (Mother Earth),” explained I Made Chakra, a In an effort to save some of Bali’s fast-disappearing subak, farmer’s son who returned to the land and founded the Tri a unique project called Sawah Bali is applying a US land trust Hita Karana Bali Foundation after studying sustainable concept adapted to the framework of Balinese custom and agriculture. “They would rotate the rice crops with peanuts law on a pilot subak near Ubud. This conservation tool and let the land rest and regenerate between rice harvests. places long-term restrictions on land use and prohibits After the Green Revolution, the farmers were ordered to grow development although the land may be sold or leased. as much rice as possible. They abandoned the old tradition Farmland owners are compensated in annual payments in of rotation planting and using compost. Now they don’t know return for making this agreement. The aim of the project is how to grow anything except hybrid white rice with to encourage farmers to return to organic farming methods chemicals. The sense of connection and stewardship is and diversify their crops with ongoing technical assistance gone.” and support from both domestic and international organizations. For more information see www.sawahbali.org Bali’s Green Revolution began in the late 1960s, when food security in Indonesia became a serious concern. The Until about 50 years ago at least a dozen traditional varieties Indonesian government and the World Bank introduced a of rice were grown and eaten in Bali. These heritage rices hybrid white rice called IR36, which could took between five to eight months to mature. produce three crops a year.

At the Creating a demand for heritage rice can help ensure its beginning these were provided without cost, but are now a survival. The term ‘red rice’ is generic. Ask for Limboto Pari, substantial investment for the farmer.

The fields were never left Gagoh is a dryland rice, planted at the beginning of the rains fallow. Now the rice grows in a soup of chemicals and, and never irrigated. It takes up to 8 months to mature and lacking the micronutrients of living soil, sometimes doesn’t the yield is very low, so it’s seldom seen for sale. Buy it if grow at all. you can find it, the flavour is amazing. A new method of cultivating rice was introduced to Bali in 2007. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a simple case of less creating more. Planting just one seedling 30 cm apart instead of a bunch together allows the plant to grow more strongly, saving 90% of seed costs. Flooding the field to 5 cm two days a week and leaving it dry the rest of the time encourages the growth of strong, deep roots and saves 80% of the water used in conventional cultivation. No chemical inputs are required; the fields are fertilised with compost before planting and sometimes young ducks are introduced to eat insects and fertilise the crop when the rice is tall enough. Because the seedlings don’t have to compete for nutrition and sunlight, SRI can yield up to twice the harvest as conventional rice cultivation. In Bali subaks that have adopted SRI fresh water crabs, eels, dragonflies, snakes and legions of busy insects have returned to the padi and are slowly rehabilitating the soil. The impacts of this new method are far-reaching, offering more income for farmers, a great saving of water and a healthier environment for future generations. But farmers everywhere are deeply conservative. Most live from harvest to harvest and can’t afford to risk failure. There was and continues to be resistance to SRI in Bali despite the lower

Chakra’s family rice fields disappeared under a hotel a few years ago. He still provides SRI training for subaks which request it, so if you know of a group of farmers that would like to dramatically increase their yields, please contact him. He’s currently growing heritage Mangkok rice and the harvest will be in mid-June. Place your order soon, this wonderful rice is quickly snapped up. chakra. widia@gmail.com

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Lemons for G&T ‘Hello Kris, I’ve grown two lemon trees from the pips of a lemon - I bought in Hardy’s supermarket. They are now about 4 metres tall and have never Àowered or produced fruit. The dream of course is to pick a lemon to add to the gin and tonic. I suspect that they will never fruit and I will have to graft from a fruit bearing tree. Is this true? Will an avocado plant that I have grown from pip suffer the same fate? Would very much appreciate your advice. Thank you in anticipation, John, Seraya Bali’ Dear John, with the right care and a little patience you should de¿nitely be able to harvest at least some lemons if not bucket loads off your own tree, and you may soon be sipping the G&T with fresh home grown lemons faster than you think! Lemon trees can easily be grown from seed whether they are bought from a nursery or even pulled out from a supermarket lemon, and these will produce fruit as long as you provide for their basic needs. Lemons can take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to produce an initial crop, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, it all depends on growing conditions. After 20 to 25 years, the trees reach their peak production and the yield of fruit declines. The ¿rst question, how old is your tree? If it is under 5 years old well you shouldn’t be too worried. On the other hand if it is over 5 years old then you may need to look into the speci¿c needs of the plant. Either way, whether over or under 5 years of age apply the following guidelines to your lemon tree to ensure that you can yield fruit in the future. Lemon trees can tolerate a range of soils, though most prefer well drained, moderate to slightly acidic soil for most ef¿cient nutrient uptake by the roots, pH of 5.5 to 6.5. They also need periodic fertilising as rich soils contribute to foliage and fruit growth over the years. Lemon trees should be set slightly mounded up above ground level, in a full sun position. Without full sunlight lemon trees cannot generate the necessary energy to produce fruit. Lemon trees are particularly sensitive to strong winds, plant in protected sites. Your watering habits directly inÀuence fruiting success and frequency. If water is too much or insuf¿cient, the fruit may be small or not appear at all. To establish young trees, they must be watered frequently so that roots grow deep. This must be complemented with a free draining soil so that the roots stay healthy for better fruit yield. Water regularly, they will require least one deep watering weekly for Àower bud formation through to fruit set to produce a good crop. Add mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds which will only compete with your tree for water and nutrients. If weeds are left to become overgrown they will also encourage pests and disease. Wet newspaper (10 sheets thick), can be used to kill/smother weeds and grass under the tree, and then topped with mulch regularly to prevent weeds returning. Never mulch right up to the tree trunk, otherwise collar rot will result, meaning no fruit. Lemon trees require a constant nutrient supply, as they have a voracious appetite, with a high requirement for trace elements. A regular spray with a liquid seaweed fertiliser will supply suf¿cient trace elements, otherwise mulch with fresh kelp/ seaweed gathered fresh from the beach. If you don’t have good compost feed with a specially formulated citrus fertiliser, according to the directions on the packet. Always water the tree well after fertilising. Consistent fertilising may be the key to getting your tree to set fruit, especially if all other required conditions have been met such as, warm sunny position, well watered, well drained soil. Add coffee

grounds mixed with water or old tea leaves to the soil around the base to ensure a slightly acidic soil. Pine needle mulch or rotted leaf compost is another tactic that can be used to slightly acidify your soil, and will also add nutrients and feed the worms. If necessary, pruning may be done to maintain the shape and height. Lemons can also make excellent potted plants and will be comfortable in a container as long it provides adequate drainage and room for growth. A faster route to a fruit can be made by propagating lemon trees from cutting, off a fruit bearing parent. Wait a year after amending the growing culture and see if fruit comes the following year. It may be that the plant just needs better care for a year or so, such as more regular watering and fertilising, make sure to clear out the weeds, and never grow a lemon tree in the middle of a lawn area. With a little TLC possibly within a matter of months you may ¿nd that your tree rewards you with a bumper crop of golden lemons, or if it is under 5 years old you will just need to wait a little longer, nevertheless keep the tree maintained as mentioned. An avocado grown from seed is much the same. Growing avocados from seed is easy. If the plant is in a warm sunny location, with good drainage and plenty of water you could have avocados within a few years. Make sure you have plenty of room though because avocado trees can become large in a short period of time (as little as 3-4 years). To get your avocados you may need a ladder otherwise learn to climb! Another fruit that you can easily grow from seed you would normally throw away is papaya. Papaya trees are fast growing and will bear fruit after just 1 or 2 years. If growing avocado and papaya you have the advantage of being able to harvest the leaves to use in healthy teas, or even use them in cooking. Papaya leaf juice, extracts and teas are said to rapidly cure or ease the symptoms of dengue fever by increasing the blood platelet count in subjects affected.

Therefore, between sipping on G&T and papaya leaf tea you will have both malaria and dengue covered, especially useful when living in this part of the world, throw in some freshly squeezed lemon juice from your own tree and you’re also receiving your recommended daily allowance of vitamin C! For more information on growing avocado or papaya from seed and their health bene¿ts or medicinal uses please refer to past articles that you can ¿nd online at the Bali Advertiser website. Grow an Avocado from Seed http://www.baliadvertiser. biz/articles/garden_doctor/2012/avocado.html. Medicine from the Garden-Part II http://www. baliadvertiser.biz/articles/garden_doctor/2009/medicine. html. P.S. To make home grown tonic water you would need to extract the quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree. These days retail tonic water contains either insigni¿cant amounts of quinine, or are substituted with arti¿cial quinine flavours, therefore use as a malaria prophylaxis isn’t effective, as it was in the olden days.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Gengsi Part II A week ago I returned to my home country of New Zealand with my six of my extended Balinese family for a selonding gamelan and dance tour. I always figure that for Indonesians travelling overseas the culture shock is less ‘shocking’ that for Westerners travelling to Indonesia; far from the “Please you look my shop!” or “Yes, you like buy watch mister!” hassles of Bali, being an Indonesian tourist in NZ is more of a peaceful observation of a society and system that functions reasonably ‘normally’ (in fact, boringly so). As I overcome my envy of Indonesians who travel relatively hassle free (apart from the militarily stringent body searches at Australian airports), I note that many of the comments about New Zealand’s modern socialistic democracy relate to issues of gengsi. As I mentioned in Part I, gengsi is the Indonesian attitude, now most prevalent in booming Bali, of not wanting to do something that is ‘beneath’ someone.

My Bali family was surprised to see dad outside washing his Mercedes or mowing the lawns (where’s the pembantu??!!); being a rubbish collector is a well-paid job; farmers, even though they are often wealthy in NZ, milk the cows and shear the sheep themselves; my mum and dad now in their late 60s still do all the housework themselves. Until I lived in Bali, doing the household chores myself was a part of daily life - we never imagined we could afford to have a servant, a gardener and a pool guy. On our maid’s day off I can sometimes be seen by grinning neighbours sweeping or taking our the rubbish. I know what they’re thinking but I know that cleaning up your own crap is a fact of life that is somehow important to experience. The more Balinese regularly travel overseas, the more they’ll realise that being rich or even borderline middle class doesn’t mean that doing something menial is valueless or beneath you. It may even give people insight into how the ‘other half’ live. However, until salaries increase a whole heap for menial jobs or manual labour in Bali, I can’t see this happening in a hurry.

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Greetings live music fans and welcome to this a very special edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. As promised this edition comes live from the second Bali Live international Jazz festival. Clutching a cheeky cider and a VIP press pass I found myself a willing accomplice and went on a Music Matters style stake out of one of, the largest jazz festivals on the planet.

Jazz community and has been writing and performing since the 50’s! Jim and his group ‘the saucy soul band’ took the stage and blew the audience away with their unique great bluesy, soulful, yet still technically a rock / jazz crossover sound. The level of professionalism here was unparalleled and the band was incredibly choreographed and tight. Larkin’s voice is so steeped in blues pedigree it can’t be questioned he has that sorrow and passion only a true blues Walking into the festival was an experience in itself, the venue artist possesses and he let loose at the festival. I also thought was a large open area with its own beach and swimming the guitarists he played with in the band were exceptional pool effectively the lush grounds of Taman Bhagawan (Nusa and pulled off some very intricate solos. Dua) There were many great restaurants all selling their various styles of food to the hungry festival goers. The After a brief interlude Queens Tandoor, was kicking out special festival samosas, we were treated to the and Ryoshi was doing what it does best and serving up tasty incredible trumpet playing sushi, also there was an Alben’s tent offering three different of Maurice Brown, words Àavors of Bali grown cider! cannot describe the talent this man has. I used to The stage itself was set play the trumpet in a in front of a rectangular marching youth band, fountain so the acts and to get it sounding appearing onstage anything other than well ‘brassy’ is a true talent and man were mirrored in the does Maurice have that talent. He made the notes sound reÀection of the water smooth and silky and ever so sweet. One particular number which I thought was called “Good Vibrations’ was epitomic of what a great Jazz very classy. The stage musician should aim to achieve when writing a song. Crisp also had two large intricate and a true rollercoaster of pitch and tempo, this was p r o j e c t o r s c r e e n s one of the best Jazz trumpet performances I have ever either side of it so even if you weren’t near the stage you witnessed! One thing that really impressed me about Brown could still see all the action. The stage was set in front of a was the fact he was so innovative, for example he actually Balinese wall mural and like the festivals which had been played some of his trumpet solos through a standard guitar held in the GWK cultural park was the perfect combination of wah wah pedal, which gave it distortion like nothing I have modern stage design with authentic Balinese cultural heritage. ever heard before. I sat with a friend in the comfy bean bag chairs and relaxed as the organizer Yan addressed the crowd. It was moving to hear him speak so passionately about live music and what they had accomplished that day by bringing so many world renowned jazz musicians to Bali and giving the islands music scene a real boost. The whole festival had a baby Glastonbury chilled out vibe to it although was de¿nitely targeted at the middle income and middle aged music lovers of Bali.

C/Bm/I-04 March 15

Jazz is sometimes referred to as lounge music however I think this title is unfair as the artists really knew how to put on a performance. Pretty much every band gave an excellent set and most were amazingly tight.

As the evening drew to a close local Balinese act Un B Rocken took to the stage. These youngsters were playing a mixture of Blues, Rock, Rock n Roll and pop in their own unique acoustic and soulful style. A few people however So while sitting down were not so enthralled by this band as it seemed to turn the in that comfy bean event from a jazz festival into a bit of a pop show complete bag chair at 6pm the with screaming fans! first artists took the stage and gave the I caught up with a festival goer Ms. Robyn Menzies after the audience a true taste event who said: “In whole I enjoyed the festival it was great, of what was to come. and there were loads of excellent bands and musicians. I First up was Indonesian made the decision to leave early however when it became, Jazz quartet ‘Dice’ a bit ‘kiddy’ towards the end as there was an Indonesian pop (who regularly play in jazz band with lots of screaming fans, which frankly was not t h e J a z z c a f é i n my scene.”

Ubud.) The ¿rst thing to say about this band was they had a big rich sound very brassy with lots of great saxophone and trumpet solos. The singer was exceptional and truly one of the most talented female vocalists I have ever seen. She had a great vocal range and it put me in mind of Etta James when she ¿rst took the microphone all those years ago and began her career on the Jazz circuit. The vocalist was also incredibly talented when it came to the classic jazz ‘scat’ style of singing. Dice were very good value and a great Jazz house band and like most of the acts at the festival had about a twenty ¿ve minute slot to make the right impression. Next up was soul music legend Jim Larkin. Originally born in San Francisco Larkin has been a mainstay of the international

It seems like Vegemite, Un B Rocken will not coat everyone’s toast, however there is no doubt that these guys are very talented and that this group of youngsters will be one to watch in the future. Incognito pulled the crowd at the very end and gave a funky exciting end to a great festival.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE APRIL 01 - APRIL 15, 2015

The highlight of this fortnight is the total Lunar Eclipse on the Full Moon on the 4th that once again triggers our infamous Uranus/Pluto activation. The Sun in Aries has now moved up to Uranus and opposes the Full Moon in Libra and they create a T-square to Pluto. As if we haven’t had enough in these past 3 weeks already! Be prepared for the emotions to come into play now through those key relationships in your life. The Karmic or Moon’s Nodes are also still relatively close, or within orb of both the moon and the Sun/Uranus duo and bring with them significant meetings, endings and re-uniting with those people who will support the balancing of your own feminine and masculine polarity. Mars the ruler of Aries has recently exited its own sign and moved into the territory of Venus; Taurus. Venus the ruler of this Libra Full Moon is still in her other rulership sign of Taurus herself, and is set to move on into Gemini before the end of the fortnight. It’s fortunate then that Venus and Mars at least understand each other at this time with all the tension, stress and challenges that are potentially erupting. It feels like an incredibly fine balancing act as we move forward into unchartered territory. Jupiter moves out of retrograde on the 9th and into the sign of Virgo by August. For now it is supporting the thrust forward with its harmonious trine to Uranus, Sun and the South Node through joyous change.

FULL MOON 14 Libra 24 April 4, 2015 8:07 p.m.

The balancing act for you plays out in your personal life and within those intimate one-on-one partnerships. So much of what you do in the World and who you are or want to be seen as is currently shape-shifting. The more you try to redefine yourself and recreate your image, the more competition is apparent on the outside and through those closest to you. There is however, a lot of support for this re-invention and co-creation process that you are currently undertaking. This is the perfect time for you to be accumulating and bringing things into material form and this is where the co-operation within relationship pays benefits the most.

With a Full Moon eclipse in your sign, you are in for an interesting few months ahead. This is the time for birthing plans for yourself and to create a new balance then with the significant people in your life as the changes begin to manifest. As you deeply purge old memories, habits and emotions the way is made clear for you to grow into new communities and make new friends. You may even find a part of your personality returning that had long ago abandoned you. This is the time for creating a future through communication and participating with others and always keeping your personal needs in check.

Your strength and determination are shining through right now and you will continue to take good care of yourself during these changes that run so deeply within your spiritual self. Although nothing seems terribly clear to you, this Full Moon will highlight the work that gets done in partnership and those who are not pulling their weight. You may experience some endings here as you begin to trust more and more your intuition when it comes to making decisions that affect your personal self. Taking care of your own interests is very important right now and so too is your home environment. There are a few changes in store here.

This is a deeply mystical moon eclipse for you and you have the possibility to really bring through some pioneering ideas and thought forms to add to your work repertoire. It’s also a great few months to focus on your health and own personal healing. Pluto continues to be activated and triggers strong memories and communications for you. Letting go of old ideas or early schooling is imperative as you usher in the new model of life. There is a time for boldness and that time has come as you step out with your worldly pursuits in view and accept the changes that will come through their expression.

Venus is going to enter your sign by the end of the fortnight and bring a little more love and creativity into your life. Meanwhile Jupiter is set to expand all your communication, marketing and media projects in a very positive way and this links back into community based projects as well. There is a lot happening in your circle of friends and this brings a depth of understanding that goes way beyond the normal bonding. This full moon is bringing the potential of a little romantic interlude if you so choose. Partnership is on your mind and so too is your freedom to explore and adventure a myriad of opportunities.

This is a great time to make travel plans if that is your heart’s desire. It’s also a good time to undergo study or training, particularly as the old ideologies quickly transform. You are rapidly creating a new identity for yourself and stepping into what is your truer sense of self. There could be a little down time from work or it may have just gotten a lot easier to acquire what you want with less effort. This full moon highlights beautiful community based events and activities and friendships will be very important to you over the coming months. There may also be a new home in the works.

The cardinal signs, like you, are the ones most affected by the heavenly transits at this time. With those significant endings and powerful relationship confrontations moving you strongly into change and in particular with regard to your career or vocational aspirations, you may be feeling the need to rework your beliefs and finances. Some may even experience a pay rise or a windfall in some form or another. You may be wanting to spend more time at home during this Full Moon and perhaps inviting friends into your space for some abundant sharing of humanly indulgences. There is most definitely an appreciation for your circle of friends at this time.

Once we’ve passed through this next full moon portal things will become easier and you will feel an ease and grace enter the transformation process and you may even experience some excitement as those plans finally begin to be made manifest. You’ve been ever so patiently working on yourself and it is about to pay off big time. There is the potential for new partnerships based on an emotional commitment or simply more feminine in nature within the business or career focus of your life. The search for real partnerships based on respect of the individuals needs is underway and your relationship to your past irreversibly altered. That’s a good thing.

As Jupiter bounds forward in your sign, you will feel a surge of energy and a renewed enthusiasm for life and adventure. Doing the personal work ensures change to your physical appearance as well as to the emotional self and you will have a lot to communicate during this Full Moon and for the next few months when it comes to emotions. Stretching beyond your comfort zone seems to be a daily practice. Memories, plans and connection to foreign places and people is compelling you to rework your worldly aspirations. There are benefits nonetheless coming through your work focus at this time and you may be attracted to powerful people.

There’s a focus on higher learning as the full moon eclipse activates communication around interesting topics. Taking yourself to places not yet traveled is exciting and expands your perception of the world and other people. There is no doubt that you are learning much through those significant others in your life and having some fun as well. Good fortune is about to shine on you in this area of your life and so if you are ready to make headway in a relationship or embark on a new one, enjoyment is on the way. With the comfort in the familiarity of home base, integration and a sense of groundedness during this powerful transition phase is easily found.

The majority of your growth is being experienced on the inner realms and may not be apparent to those around you. This Full Moon eclipse highlights your material acquisitions through partnership and brings sudden deep and powerful unions, which could well include romantic interludes or a re-union or a deeper connection to the children in your life. Good things are coming your way when it comes to foreign interests or higher learning or study practices and you have the steady patience to see things through to the end in a balanced and practical way. By the end of the fortnight you may connect with a female who will help your career changes.

Jupiter moving forward will bring health and healing for you through fun and for some, a connection to children or creative expression, but most definitely through enjoying yourself. This moon will bring balancing and deep emotional one-on-one connections and again propel you to renew your beliefs and make new friendships. Just a little further to go now and you will feel the ‘beginning of the end or the end of the beginning’ and life will surge ahead once more. There is a steady communication within your relationships taking place at this time and you feel supported and physically reassured when it comes to mental meanderings. Touch is very important.

“A Gnashing Of Molars”

But enough of all that, it’s a glorious morning here in the Island of the Gods. But lo, do hear a distant wail, a gnashing of molars and a wringing of hands, is there an absence of contentment in the air. Is there a suggestion that gallinacious jungle fowl will return to their places of abode for a period of perching and that brown waste substances will come into violent contact with rotating air moving devices.

This last option is probably the safest and most likely solution for many people however for those many people who are not residents and bought a holiday home under a nominee ownership arrangement a clear solution is not obvious though some form of lease agreement may be the way forward. Marriage Ownership of Land As we discussed last week foreigners cannot own, or partly own, land in Indonesia but what happens if a foreigner marries an Indonesian citizen? Let us quickly look at mixed marriages and property ownership. In Indonesia assets are considered to be owned jointly my married couples as stated in The Marriage Law (Law No 1 of 1974) Article 35 paragraph 1- property acquired during the marriage shall become joint marital property of the husband and the wife.

Nominee ownership by foreigners is illegal Several times over the years this column has discussed the issue of using nominee arrangements to allow foreigners to “own” freehold land in Bali and Indonesia. As we have said many times, under the Agrarian Law it is illegal for foreigners to own land, what is particularly relevant for nominee arrangements is that it is also illegal for anyone other than the government to “control” the ownership of land. The nominee arrangement and the many risks involved were explained in the recent article on nominee ownership (see www.mrfixitbali. com/articles/buying-land-bali-freehold.html). For people with such nominee arrangements there are dark clouds on the horizon, the Indonesian Minister for Agrarian Affairs and head of the National Land agency, Ferry Mursyidan Baldan has announced that his department will take action against expatriates illegally owning land, they will survey and inventory land ownership to identify foreign owners. We have to assume that he is talking about nominee arrangements for owning land. Experts suggest that because foreigner - nominee ownership arrangements are illegal, all documents associated with tjem are null and void and the government can repossess the land. In the minister’s words “We will ask if he has an Indonesian wife and divert the land to her. But, if he doesn’t have an Indonesian wife, then the land will be taken by the State.” Who knows how many people may be involved, hundreds and probably even thousands. Some of these would be people who knew the law but took out nominee arrangements anyway perhaps believing that the practice was so widespread it is inconceivable that action would be taken. But sadly there are probably very many who were simply not aware that they were doing something illegal and have been led astray by misinformation and possibly even fraudulent activity. Well meaning, decent people who came from countries where professional integrity is assumed, these people may never have suspected that the “ever so friendly” real estate agent promising freehold land ownership was a person who thinks that an ethic is some form of malignant growth in their congenitals. These are the real victims who may be facing a tragedy they never envisioned, they deserve our sympathy and any assistance they can get. Some have been hoping that the laws would be changed but the reality is that it is highly unlikely that fundamental cornerstones of Indonesian law, the Constitution and the Agrarian Law, will be modified anytime soon to allow foreigners to own freehold title. Regarding the minister’s announcement, it is early days yet and time will tell if government agencies have the capacity to enact the minister’s intention or whether some workaround is forthcoming. As things stand at the moment for people in nominee ownership arrangements who wish to extricate themselves from illegality there are probably four options they might consider: 1. Form a PMA (foreign investment) company which would be permitted to own land (complex and has conditions attached). 2. Marry an Indonesian national and transfer ownership to them. For a few this may be an option however ownership rules for Indonesians married to foreigners have strict guidelines (see below). 3. Sell the property. 4. Become an Indonesian citizen (complex and may take time). 5. Convert to Hak Pakai. This would involve handing ownership of the land over to the government so they can issue a Hak Pakai (right to use land title). This provides many advantages, it is fully legal for foreigners, will provide full individual control over the land. Hak Pakai is for a period of 25 years, can be extended for a further 20

Article 35 paragraph 2 states that - property brought into marriage by the husband or the wife or acquired separately by either one of them as a gift or inheritance shall remain the property of the party concerned, unless determined otherwise. What this means is that Indonesians married to foreigners cannot own land unless they owned the land before they got married or they receive it as a gift or inheritance. (It should also be noted that any Guarantees on loans or debts incurred during the marriage are a shared responsibility and any legal processes regarding joint property have to be agreed to by both partners, ie the spouse’s consent is compulsory).

If You Have a Problem with.....

When it comes to owning property there is a way to get around this. If the couple make a prenuptial agreement before getting married which states that each of the partners owns their own assets as an individual and not jointly as a couple (what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours) then the Indonesian partner can own land in their name. Of course they will retain total control of the land. With a pre nuptial agreement in place they can also buy property during their marriage to a foreigner. It is generally understood that prenuptial agreements must be established BEFORE the marriage takes place. Also be aware that some marriage documents (notably the muslim marriage book) state the existence of the prenuptial agreement so it is a good idea to make sure such an agreement is entered on the marriage document.

If the Indonesian partner dies and the land is inherited by the foreigner spouse, the foreigner must dispose of the land within 12 months or the state can take possession of it. A further twist to this has been revealed in a recent case of murder, if the marriage is a muslim marriage a person that murders their husband cannot benefit from the crime - they cannot inherit the property.

A Checklist for Buying or Leasing Land Finally let us look at all the things you need to consider if you are thinking of buying property in Bali. 1. Use Hak Pakai or a lease arrangement. 2. Find a good, honest PPAT. Land transfers and land title deeds in Indonesia are drafted by a Land Deed Official known as Pejabat Pembuat Akte Tanah or PPAT. A PPAT is not a notaris however in many cases a notaris is also a PPAT (you will see it marked on their signboard outside their office). 3. Do not take things on face value, always get an opinion form someone who is not making money from you. 4. Arrange a due diligence to check: • Who, exactly, is the owner? Beware of cases where multiple siblings have inherited the land. • Are there any outstanding debts or mortgages over the land? • Which, exactly, is the land you are dealing with? • What is the zoning of the land - can you build residential property on the land? • Are there any existing titles (such as unexpired leases or Hak Pakai) over the land? • Is there legal public access to the land? 5 You should also check: • Is the land stable? This is an island where land has a surprisingly regular ability to disappear at a moment’s notice. • Can you get electrical power to the land? • Can you get water to the land? Sorry but I have to finish this idle chatter about such unimportant matters as land ownership, I have had a poke (I beg your pardon) telling me that Percival’s sister’s cousin second removed wants to be my friend so she can tell me about her rather nasty problem with wind.

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

Cheap Eats in Ubud! In 2000 after Marinos opened Mykonos Taverna amongst the rice paddies of Jln. Laksmana [also then referred to simply as the ‘road to Oberoi’] and everyone else followed quickly, I named that street Eat Street. Many strange ‘johnny-come-lately’s’ have since claimed that dubious distinction. If the Laksmana-Petitenget loop in Seminyak/Kerobokan deserves to be called Eat Street then Jln. Goutama, in Ubud, deserves the title of Cheap Eat Street! Along the narrow gang [soon, it is rumoured, to become a pedestrian only mall] that links Jln. Dewi Sita and Raya Ubud, more than 20 small restaurants, cafes and warungs sit jowl by jowl. All offering budget priced food from a vast variety of cuisines. In this street there appears to be an unwritten law. Sell interesting mains for under Rp 50,000 and you are forever busy. If more expensive then not so busy. Although in constantly changing Bali some fall by the wayside on a regular basis. However there always appears to be someone waiting in the wings who believes they have the perfect answer. At the top end is the long standing Nomads, with its Balinese Tapas plate but most famous just for its perfect view of passing cremation processions from the nearby Ubud Palace. Down the hill to Toro Sushi, a site that has previously failed on a number of occasions, with its so called modern sushi, with paper thin slices. Across the laneway is Raw Food & Tonic which is just that. A popular dish here is their Naga Bowl, it consists of blended and pureed purple dragon fruit, banana and apple topped with raw granola, mango, papaya and goji berries. A Korean Bibimbap of pickled vegetables in miso with ginger, jicame is served with rice, a traditional Korean dish. All the food here is 100% Vegan and daily specials include their versions of American Hamburgers, Middle Eastern and Mexican Platters and Indian Curries. The French touch is offered by Madam in her Pignou di Penyu. Hidden behind shrubbery, it is a small restaurant presenting great value, a blend of French and local and even a few combinations of both [a French Nasi Goreng]. Breakfasts [real omelettes], Snacks [Croque Monsieur of course], Soups [Marseillaise Fish Soup or Parisienne Onion Soup], many interesting starters [Snails, Frog Legs, Oeufs Cocote, Stuffed Rabbit, Pate de Campagne] and solid mains [Daube Provencale, Prawns flambéed in Anis]. But the most popular dish here is definitely their Plateau Nyoman [served for 2 persons or more only]; raw vegetables, potted fish, a coarse pork pate, eggplants, red peppers in olive oil, lawar, gado-gado, sate, tempe manis, tofu, pissaladiere [onion tart with anchovies] and stuffed rabbit. Ne Warung offers Javanese cuisine at very budget prices, almost all under Rp 50,000. Watch the special board at front, sometimes they have Opor Ayam which is one of the great Javanese dishes. Warung Lokal serves Indonesian Chinese with all the standard dishes available; Koloke [balls of chicken in sweet and sour], Kolobak [same but with pork], Pangsit Kuah [vegetable soup with dumplings] and that Chinese vegetarian omelette Fuyung Hai. Biah-Biah is pure Balinese. So small it is on different levels, a miniature grandstand. A great idea here is the small plate version of many popular local dishes. The so-called experts [on social media] regularly complain about the size of these dishes, they cost LESS than $1 each! The concept is to order many small plates [call them tapas if you must!] and thus try the many different local tastes, just a few mouthfuls

of each. Brilliant! They include Ayam Sambal Matah, Babi Kecap, Tempe Goreng, Kare Ayam, Bergedels, Tempe Manis and Sates, a plate of veggies on the side cab be their Sayur Urab [soya bean sprouts, cawpea, and grated coconut, all well spiced]. Buona Sera is a pizzeria and ristorante. Its immaculate white décor is in startling contrast to all else around it, the woodfired oven blazing at the rear. Pizzas [pictured] are any way you want them with the usual variety of toppings. Warung Siam tries to do what many others have tried but failed to successfully do, bring basic Thai cuisine to Ubud [Kin Khao, Black Canyon and others have long been and gone]. The sign says ‘homestyle’ a term I do not like as I always wonder who’s home is referred to? But they do a good job at very budget prices, Gai Hor Bai Toey, chicken in pandan leaves, leads the entrees, followed by other old favourite traditional dishes; Kra Prao Gai [minced chicken with Thai basil] and Gai Pad Med Ma Muang [pictured], chicken and cashews, the dish that the Thais stole from the Chinese and improved it. The current darling of Trip Advisor and those who follow it [the bible for suburban working-class women, such power to promote or rubbish] is the Melting Wok. Ubud has seen over 20 different restaurants named No.1 for Ubud on this questionable web site over the years [the real quality restaurants rarely rating a mention], most not making my Top 10, or in some cases Top 30! However The Melting Wok does have much going for it, it is Laotian with a French touch! Steep steps lead up to a pleasant terrace with modern seating. The concept is very simple, everything from the wok. Stir Fries of assorted local vegetables, with meat and seafood added. Laotian food is the traditional origin of Thai cuisine [the food in north-eastern Isaan, Thailand’s biggest province, is almost pure Laos, as is the language they speak] before the later influence of Persia and China, a mélange of which is today’s Thai. A selection of pre-prepared dishes are always available at the Melting Wok, the rest is via Today’s Blackboard at the entrance. New kid on the block is Ryoshi’s La Mien. You always know that anything from this great chain of Japanese restaurants means fresh produce daily, very important any time but especially so when it includes seafood. The Ramen noodles served here is in a general Asian style not just Japanese. It is a 3 stage process, first you select your noodle [Japanese egg noodle, Chinese kweitiau, Korean tan miun from sweet potato, Sohun Mung Bean or 5 grain rice], then the broth [vegetarian, chicken, pork, etc] and finally the topping [many varieties]. This version of Ramen complies with the under Rp.50,000 rule and is presented in a small bowl. Normal size traditional portions are also available from the a la carte menu which are topped with slices of pork confit such as the Shoyu Cha Siu Ramen [pictured] as well as many other standard dishes from the popular Ramen Boy

outlet on Sunset Road. These include starters Sesame Chicken & Cold Noodle Salad, Siu Mai, Zangi and Katsu Curry. There is also a special Curry Udon [chicken or beef], those popular Gyoza [pork or vegetarian], Hiyashi Chuka, and Chicken or Beef Terriyaki. Another feature here is the special ‘Japanese Vodka’. It is made at Ryoshi’s Karang Asem distillery. Two styles are served. Chu Hai is the neat spirit with a range of fruit juices added [cranberry. apple, pomegranate, etc.], whilst Sho-Chu has been infused with tea [Early Grey, Jasmine or Shenlong] or Luwak Coffee. At Rp25,000++ a glass both are very popular with the Japanese diners, and all others. Warung Bernadette has been transplanted from its original home in Mas, still offering their unique Rendangs from Sumatra. They can be ordered with beef, chicken or a vegetarian version with jackfruit, all having been slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices for 12 hours. The Rendang is served with rice or pasta, as well as boiled egg, cassava leaf soup, corn fritter and pickled vegetables. Famous Javanese soups Rawon [beef and salted duck egg] or Buntot [ox-tail with lemongrass, cloves, nutmeg and a fresh green chilli sambal] make the perfect start to a hearty meal. Soma, is something completely different, and definitely not a small warung, rather organic food served in a garden setting, live music added on occasions. This amazing site was once a service centre for the 3 Brothers rental car operation, now very different! Near the base of the gang is the very classy little Italian, Dolce Arancia, an amazing design that maximizes a small space finishing intimate yet totally private. It is also the only air-conditioned restaurant on this strip. Sweet Orange is its name and a dish highlight is their Spaghetti in Orange. It has no more than a hint of orange with a few segments scattered around the plate which is studded with shrimps [pictured]. Another popular pasta is their Ravioli alle Mele, sachets stuffed with diced apple, with parmesan and sage. Many people begin with that classic starter of Parma Ham draped over Papaya. Mains include Saltimbocca, veal scallops in white wine. Kismet Café is upstairs, at the corner, with their organic offerings that include a hearty Red Rice Breakfast with scrambled organic eggs. They have sandwiches, panini’s, Thai vegetable green curry and much more. Across the gang is Confiture Michele a keyhole shop with a wide range of homemade jams [with every possible fruit flavor], to take home as well as offering French Crepes to eat there. A stroll along Jln. Goutomo is to tempt the taste buds with dishes from every corner of the world, Ubud’s Cheap Eat Street!

Update Finn’s Beach Club is a private beach and dining area attached to the luxurious Semara Resort at Uluwatu. It is reached by a combination of stairs and funicular, somewhere to completely switch off for the day [and stay on for the early evening, often with live music]. As with other similar places the entry fee here is partly offset against your food and beverage bill. The cuisine starts out with Asian influences with the snacks and entrees but then progresses to general International with touches from everywhere. My favourite entrée [pictured] combines Japanese [yellow fin tuna sashimi, seaweed], Vietnamese [stuffed in cornets of rice paper rolls], with Thai [coriander] and Balinese [mango, avocado, tofu puree and coconut milk] to provide a start to proceedings that is tasty and fresh. That is a perfect start for a lazy day on the beach, at one of Bali’s very special locations. Healthier still is the Balinese Red Rice Salad, with rucola, grilled pumpkin, red onion and feta cheese tossed with a pesto sauce. A day on the beach maybe deserves some classic Fish & Chips [red snapper] or Grilled Calamari [with baby potatoes and chorizo]. More seafood options include Jumbo Prawns and Lobster. The Baby Pork Ribs are first marinated then smoked. Then there is a complete Burger Menu of Chicken, Beef and Fish. Gourmet sandwiches can be Steak [Aussie sirloin with BBQ spices and Dijon mustard on sour dough] or Pulled Pork [braised with Jack Daniels then smoked, also on sour dough]. Watergarden Kafe in Candi Dasa offers an Easter Sunday special, for lunch or dinner. You have a choice of main; Chicken Breast in lemon sauce, Lamb Chops with mint sauce, Vienna Schnitzel or Surf & Turf. All are served with potato and vegetables, with a side dish of Caesar Salad or Mashed Potatoes. The dessert is Orange Cardamom Cream or Coconut Custard Pie. The English tradition of Hot Cross Buns extends to the Watergarden with its English management. They are included in the package, all for just Rp.110,000++.

Biku, the champion of High Teas, on Jln. Raya Petitenget, also offers Hot Cross Buns, not only for the traditional Good Friday but they are already available now, and every day until the Easter weekend. Easter Sunday they have their special Easter High Tea [even a special version for children as well as egg decorating and egg hunt competitions to keep them amused whilst the parents party]. Easter Sunday Dinner is also an English tradition, Roast Lamb, mint sauce and all the trimmings. It is easy to recognize Biku, it is the one with the overfull car-park, day and night. So many places have struggled to survive on this street, but not Biku, busy since opening. Uma Hotel at Sanggingan, a few kms north-west of Ubud offers a variety of Easter

eating and drinking. It all begins on Good Friday with a BBQ at the Pool Bar from 8.00 p.m. There is a three course tasting menu [Rp. 350,000++ p.p.] as well as a special a la carte one that includes grilled kingfish and slow roasted lamb. Easter Sunday is at Uma Cucina with a special traditional Italian Brunch [including antipasto and pastas] from 11.30 a.m. at Rp.399,000++ p.p. This includes free flow of non-alcoholic beverages, for free flow of alcoholic add another Rp.399,000++ p.p.

The Piring Daun is unusual! I have written that many times before about Bali cafes and restaurants but this one is really unique! Start with the structure; bare concrete walls, the front one partly demolished with a ‘designer’ bomb, random holes in the wall still with reinforcing rods in place, and minimum graffiti. The terrace is lined with a row of slightly rusty World War II jerry cans, wired together to prevent borrowing. The menu is also different, just two things! All day breakfasts from 7.00 a.m. [closed Mondays] and a range of Nasi Campur. Their ‘signature’ breakfast is a croissant, split and topped with a slice of ham, scrambled egg and cheese. Most other options begin with a slice of toast, topped with your choice of sausage, eggs, bacon, ham and cheese. Other breakfasts include pancakes, omelettes and a range of Western-style egg dishes. The Nasi Campur can be Sumatran with shrimps, Hainanese with chicken, Chicken or Beef Curry, Vegetarian or an Egg Balado. Teh Tarik is served, hot or cold. My only complaint is the hot coffee, served in a glass, how do you hold it? The place is very popular and no wonder as every dish is under Rp. 40,000! Where is it? The locals call the road Jln. Pantai Berawa, the road to Berawa Beach, in Canggu, but it has a couple of other names as well. A host of new cafes and restaurants have been opening in this area, of every six one is busy whilst some already have ‘For Sale’ signs displayed. This one is very busy!

Bali Beach Shack is on Jln. Sahadewa, Legian. Sundays are Roast Dinner nights with a buffet of pork, beef and lamb, with all the trimmings. You serve yourself from 6.008.30 p.m for Rp.150,000 [half price for children under 13]. At 9.15 on Sunday nights is the Bali Beach Shack Drag Show, inherited from the long closed Hulu Café from further along the same street. The Beach Shack is Australian owned and managed. Kzu is the creation of Japanese chef Kazuya Takami. The original opened on Jln. Drupadi and became popular overnight with its Japanese influenced light and healthy cuisine. Now an even more stylish KZU is to be found at the Raya Kerobokan end of Sunset Road [almost opposite The Trans hotel], a part of town that is becoming popular with ethnic dining, which all began with the very successful MamaSan [just around the corner] and will soon be joined by Bali’s first Turkish café. KZU offers eat and run dishes [from hot display – chicken meatballs, corn noodles, etc.] or a la carte. It is mostly basic Japanese such as Chicken Yakitori, Pork or Chicken Katsu, Pork or Beef Ribs, Curries [lamb, chicken, seafood or vegetarian]. The fish can be Butterfish, Mahi-Mahi or Tuna. A variety of salads are on display; Seaweed and Soy, Tofu and Tempe, Quinoa or an unusual mix of Rucola, Pear and Parmesan. Also different is the Niratama, cream croquettes stuffed with seafood and pumpkin. Great value in a cool and clean environment, very relaxing!

The Bulé Aga

– Part 2

The Male Perspective

As the man who coined the term Bulé Aga, Made Wijaya can be considered the epitome of the species. Made has made a name for himself as a born-again Balinese and fashioned a reputation that could be the pride of any selfstyled interloper. Not content with his own epithet, he also calls himself the ¿rst titular Laskarbulé devoting the Balinese side of his life to dressing butch and wearing Harley Davidson brand temple apparel.

Although he has spent the majority of his life immersed in Balinese culture and society, he still very much identi¿es himself with his native Australian culture and is proud to be Australian, while at the same time honored to be accepted as a member of Balinese society. “I am still a cheeky bastard” says Made, “fortunately, the Balinese and Australians share a similar sense of humor. I have learned much about tolerance and being a beauty warrior without ego from the Balinese – it’s a shame I’m such an egomaniac. My Australian friends tell me I’ve become a big Poobah; the Balinese seem far more comfortable, supportive even, of my aristocratic pretentions. After 40 odd years living in the most feudal society, a certain hauteur gets ingrained.” Made says he bene¿ted enormously from being immersed in the deep end of both cultures. He claims to be a card-carrying, umbrella waving member of the Hindu-Bali community and root for Australia at the Olympics and Academy Awards. His Àuency in Basa Bali is legendary. “Indonesian,” he says, “I learned quickly due to a musical ear and a theatrical personality; Balinese is much harder as one has to master all levels of the language and where to position oneself -- which is not easy for western graduates from egalitarian societies. It helped to be living as a 20 year old in a traditional rural village near Denpasar, with a Brahman family for my ¿rst 6 years.” The pure civilization of the Balinese continues to make an impact on him. Says Made, “It is my honor to document the culture and I feel privileged to have an active if minor role in some ceremonies. Mostly I carry the umbrellas when Bali Post photographers are around, splash offerings, mowers, trucks and kris knives at the landscape contracting of¿ce on tumpek landep holy day and accompany my big love Cokorda Pemecutan XI to major temples as Laskarbulé.” Made claims he has made no compromises in order to ¿t into Balinese culture and society, at least he can’t think of any. Though he blacks out his windows at Nyepi so that he can watch back episodes of Downtown Abbey.

the rounds of typical Balinese villages in search of a teacher who could widen his knowledge and pro¿ciency in playing the old gamelans. This strengthened his fascination with the traditional music and as a result he started to salvage old instruments that were routinely melted down in order to make more modern sets. His hobby turned into a profession. Then he married a Balinese girl with whom he created Semara Pagulingan Mekar Bhuana, a center that documents and reconstructs rare and extinct Balinese Gamelan and dance traditions. Vaughan loves the court music of the 1800’s and the chance to revive some of that art through regular performances. Like many expats, he delights in the artistic traditions of Bali. He also appreciates the creative environment for his children, the unstructured and more Àexible nature of Balinese society and the opportunity to take the best from the 3 cultures he is closest to: Bali, Java and New Zealand. Through his marriage to Evie, he has integrated further into Balinese society and culture and is very active in the lives of his extended family and his local community.

By Ines Wynn

and involved in the Indonesian cultural and intellectual scene and regularly leads conferences and panel discussions on the themes of art, culture, education and politics. As a recognized art critic he is frequently called upon to open art exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta and Bandung. When asked if he had to make some compromises in order to ¿t in with the Balinese way of life he says no, because his nature is naturally unobtrusive, introspective and reÀective, which seems to agree with the Balinese consciousness. Though he still retains his French citizenship, he claims he is not nationalistic and readily admits that he is more comfortable with Indonesian than European society. He prefers the open, tolerant mind and the non-assertive nature of the Indonesians to the more aggressive and busy-mouth nature of the French. “Here I’m given all the space I need to be myself” says Jean.

Yes, there were compromises to be made. Like many expats, Vaughn does not adhere to a religion; yet in order to marry Evie, he had to become Hindu and participate in religious ceremonies while he would rather be behind the gamelan, playing. Coming from an egalitarian society like New Zealand some aspects of Balinese society do disturb him like the caste system. Foreigners, to the Balinese, have no caste, therefore in a subtle way; they stand outside and are still considered outsiders. But to Vaughan, this is tempered by the warm, collective and welcoming attitudes of the Balinese.

Pino Confessa, Italy’s Honorary Consul in Bali since 1998, is passionate about traditional theatre and dance with a special af¿nity for tari topeng, the ancient Balinese masked dance. He came here 35 years ago, at age 26, on an overland journey from his native Italy via India and became totally entranced by Balinese theatrical performances. In Italy Pino was a professional actor with the Commedia dell’arte, a type of masked theatre similar to the Balinese tari topeng, so it was the perfect bridge from one cultural tradition to another. Like most other Bulé Aga, Jean Couteau has seen a Bali the majority of expats have never experienced because he came at a time when Bali was very different from what it is now. “Thirty-¿ve years ago,” says Jean, “Bali was more rural and village centered. Since then, not only the essence of Bali has changed but also the collective memory of the Balinese. The Balinese, as a reaction to the onslaught of mass tourism and overdevelopment, have started to create an identity of their own that is increasingly urban, no longer focused on the village level, but island -wide and becoming more religious. The traditional cultural identity is fading. Their knowledge of Balinese culture is decreasing and becoming increasingly political as it is being turned into folklore to be monetized for the bene¿t of tourists. Dances, rites and celebrations have been taken out of the sacred enclosure of the temple and become vulgarized.” Jean observes that “nowadays the culture is being engineered and the Balinese tend to be passive collaborators in the seduction dance around tourism. They tend to go along with government and tourist authorities on packaging their culture for mass consumption,” though he readily admits that at the village level (except those villages trotted out as tourist magnets) the art, culture and customs can still be very genuine.

Vaughan Hatch is known to Bali Advertiser readers as the Kulture Kid due to his regular exposés on the intricacies of Balinese culture and customs. Originally from New Zealand, he came to Bali in the late 1990s on a 2-year scholarship to study gamelan at ISI, the Institut Seni Indonesia in Denpasar. As a graduate student in archeology and Asian languages, he studied Javanese gamelan at university in New Zealand. In Bali he was intrigued by the old court music that uses the 7-tone instruments as opposed to the more modern 5-tone instruments that produce louder sounds. Not satis¿ed with the limited instruction he received at ISI, he started making

A proli¿c author steeped in Balinese & Indonesian art and culture, Jean has published over a dozen books and countless articles. His writing exudes the intellectual and erudite perspective of the scholar, connoisseur, art critic and recognized authority. He is intimately familiar with the art and culture scene in Indonesia and writes about art events and exhibits, museum collections, about Balinese aesthetics, culture, customs and rituals, traditions and spiritualism. His most recent books are Lempad and Time, Rites and Festivals, the latter co-authored with Georges Breguet, another eminent art authority. As a writer he feels he has a lot of freedom to write about various topics. He writes extensively for various English, French and Indonesian publications. His culture columns in NOW!Bali magazine are singularly enlightening. He also contributes regular columns to Kompas, Ubud Life and various journals abroad, admitting that writing in Indonesian comes more naturally than writing in English. He feels very engaged

As one famous Roman once said “I came, I saw, I conquered” and Pino experienced the same when he came to Bali. In record time he was comfortably settled in a small village in Sabah and proceeded to absorb all the cultural expressions on offer in his new environment. He quickly learned Indonesian and Balinese fell in love with a Balinese girl from Singaraja whom he married in 1984, converted to Hinduism and became an Indonesian citizen. He pursued his theatrical and cultural passions while continuing his professional association with several Italian Universities by researching and reporting on Balinese and Indonesian art forms. Locally he taught at ISI, the Institut Seni Indonesia, for 17 years, mentoring Balinese artists and performers and imparting elements of Italy’s traditional theatre and mime. Pino wholeheartedly embraced his life in Bali and feels totally embraced by his new home in turn. Though he now feels comfortably entrenched and at ease in Balinese society, it was not always the case. He remembers the occasional dif¿culties in the earlier years with what he calls “reading the Bali mind” and trying to ¿gure out the correct approach to people and the proper way to communicate. He had to learn how to understand the paradox between the naturally free and open mentally of the Balinese and the very strict behavioral rules of their society. The process was made easier because Pino’s cultural background sharpened his curiosity and openness to the Balinese art forms and his sensitivity to its society, mores and norms. In the true Bulé Aga spirit he actively sought to understand all aspects of this culture and became aware of the deeper cultural and spiritual levels on which this society operates. He became Hindu, Pino says, because it was a logical decision in the context of his environment as he experienced the metaphysical side so deeply. Furthermore it is the relationship between human and nature encapsulating the Balinese brand of spiritualism that he ¿nds so attractive. “Case in point”, he says, “is the way actors relate to the masks they wear in topeng theatre. The actors honor and respect the mask they will be wearing as the embodiment of the spiritual force they believe is present in the mask.”

LE MARCHÉ DE L’ALSACE A TABLE ÀQH IRRG VWRUH IRU (XURSHDQ GHOL SURGXFWV When you consider the high investment that people have made and continue to make in the property, commercial and retail sectors, Bali has and continues to change moving forward to the higher end of the marketplace. There are people, and they love to eat and we already see that Bali’s food business also has moved ahead offering high quality product for all. With delicious tempting bakeries, ¿ne chocolatiers, fresh organic salad & vegetables, ¿sh markets & bottle shops, it makes sense that a high quality genuine European deli has found a valuable niche in the marketplace. A visit to Le Marché de l’ Alsace a Table is like going on a quick visit to Europe with your shopping basket! There is so much to look at, to inhale, to taste with new grocery items that you can’t ¿nd elsewhere. Here are fridge units literally groaning with a variety of cheese that we have not seen previously & a great way to learn more about the cheese itself; how it’s made, how to keep, how long to keep and when is the best time to eat it. There is Brie de Meaux, Brie with TrufÀe, Roquefort, Camembert & a wide range of Goats cheese. Charcuterie products on offer are also in vast amounts, smooth pates & rustic terrines, mousse, trufÀe, foie gras, rillettes, sausages & ham + condiments, all product for a feast at hand! Le Marché de L’Alsace a Table also offers excellent veal & beef (imported from Australia) & the pork is from Bali. Some grocery items to note are – a tall bottle wrapped in gold foil is oil for salad & vegetables; light & simply delicious. Small tins of authentic Moroccan Harissa, Maggie cubes in plentiful supply. Tinned products like )lageolet beans, an extensive range of Le Sirop de Monin as well, Bel Normande a non alcoholic sparkling wine, there’s Risotto (rice for Paella on the way) Pasta, Crackers + Espresso (capsules in a box) for your Nespresso machine. There’s a corner for bakery items, baguettes are very good, often there’s Alsatian cake too. The people behind this venture is Pascal with an importing background & his wife Agnes who comes with ¿ne credentials as a high-class cook/chef. Both Pascal and Agnes are professionals and keen to pass on their gastronomic culture of the food business to all that enter Alsace. An area of business that has already grown quickly is the catering arm with the supply of prepared platters of cheese & cold cuts to pick up and drive away! They offer traditional dishes of Baeckehoffe, Choucroute with sauerkraut to warm up at home, Veal Cordon Blue prepared ready for the pan, the preparation for cheese fondue, raclettes & deep fried camembert, all you do is cook…. And if you are ready for a snack at any time, call in and partake of a degustation plate the ideal way to sample new cheeses & cold meats. Pascal was telling me about his plans to introduce popular products for the many different nationalities that reside or visit Bali, already a melting pot of cultures, they also speak several languages. Good news, Ubud is on the drawing board with Sanur & Jimbaran to follow, and don’t forget to take your cold bag with you! // Le Marché de l’Alsace a Table: -l Raya Petitenget No 5, .erobokan T: +62 (0) 811 386 7 93 E: alsaceatable#aol.fr )acebook: bali.alsaceatable Twitter: Alsace a Table Bali

The Frugal Balinist *Green refrigerant. Musicool is a natural gas developed by Pertamina to replace green house gases such as harmful R22 used most commonly in air conditioners and refrigerators. A retrofit is required, which means an authorized technician will come and clean your existing air conditioner unit to prepare it for the new Musicool refrigerant gas. Key bene¿ts of using Musicool are not only saving the environment, but also for your wallet, achieving savings from between 15% and 25% in electricity costs. As the natural gas is lighter, the lifetime of your compressor will also be extended and the air coming out of your airconditioner is fresher and cooler. Musicool is available for a wide range of equipment and depending on the existing refrigerant used, common solutions are MC12 and MC600 for dispensers, refrigerators and freezers and MC22 and MC134 for airconditioners up to specialized industrial refrigerator units. The retro¿t and ¿rst ¿lling costs only Rp300,00/PK. Buy at ecoSmart (www.littletreebali. com), Jl. Sunset Road 112 X (opposite Rip Curl), tel. 0361752-133, email: info@ecosmarthub.com.

*Minimart as service hub. Those who have debit and credit cards can access online accounts at an ATM at your nearest minimarket. But if you want to pay in cash, go to any of the country’s thousands of Indomarets and Alfamarts which have ikios machines which enable you to pay many of your bills. They may not sell beer anymore, but these ubiquitous convenience stores found in every corner of Bali are convenient places for making payments for basic utility bills like electricity and water; pay for newspaper and magazine subscriptions like the Jakarta Post and Kompas Gramedia group print media by just entering your nomor pelanggan, then following instructions. Minimarkets are particularly useful for those who have dif¿culty accessing the Internet or when their connection is too slow or down. The touch screen process is easy, though there may be dif¿culty if the minimart staff is new and unfamiliar with the system or if the shop’s IInternet connection is p poor. Both chains have a agreements with like llow-cost air carrier Citilink Indonesia; state-owned train o operator PT KAI and cconcert ticket sellers ((choose “pertunjukan’); iinstallment payments tto vehicle financing firms PT Suzuki F Finance Indonesia, F FIF, WOM, BAF and BFI; pay your subscription to IIndovision, Aora to Top T TV and Orange TV ttelevision channels. *Pembantu rules: A good housekeeper who can clean, scrub Àoors, garden, shop, cook and wash and iron clothes is worth her weight in gold. Hire only from your village/city kampung by asking the headman (kepala desa) or get personal word-of-mouth recommendations from friends, colleagues or your own staff’s friends and family. A Balinese would not recommend just anyone, as it’s seen as a loss of face if a person doesn’t work out. Don’t ever get intimate with your pembantu. If you’re a single male, hire only a happily married woman. Be sure that your pembantu is willing to do any kind of work and that she has no dif¿culty calculating the amount from petty cash she has to give back after shopping. Honesty is Number One. So that somebody is always on hand during Indonesia’s many religious holidays, hire staff from different ethnic groups. Make a copy of their original KTP identity card and/or driver’s license. Pay on time for the agreed monthly salary (Rp1-Rp2 million) for 8-hour day/6 day workweek, depending on English skills and where you live (Canggu

help are the highest paid). Part time pembantu (3 days week) who live outside the home and commute get half salary. It takes a lot of time and energy to train a new pembantu about cleaning, babies, children, husband, etc. A pembantu’s nature is more important than her skill set. The best ones serve as a liaison between two worlds. *Restaurant of the Month: Real burgers are hard to come by on Bali. Many Balinese don’t know how to cook beef as the meat is shunned for religious reasons. Ari Home Stay & Hot Dog Shop in Candidasa is a little garagestyle hole-in-the-wall on a bend on the busy main road, the one with the eye catching NO NASI GORENG sign out front. The limited blackboard menu specializes in a range of burgers, burritos (chicken mango is best) and hot dogs cooked fresh right in front of you. The Aussie burger with beetroot, chiliburgers, mahi burgers, chicken burgers and burgers with grated cheddar and bacon are all favorites. Also thick cut homemade chips (French Fries) with salt and vinegar; the coldest Bintangs in town, possibly in all of Bali; big breakfasts (including bacon and eggs). Don’t get there too late in the evening or they run out. Vibrant social scene starting at about 6 pm’s happy hour. The friendly environment enables everyone to chat with visitors from around the globe. Australian proprietor Gary and his staff go out of their way to help patrons in any way they can, providing advice on everything from sightseeing to transport to visas. The anecdotes and jokes from this old Bali hand are free (ask Gary the one about 3-legged pig). Great value and convenient location. The basic homestay has cheap, clean, comfortable rooms in several price options. *Minitips. Buy that camera now; as the rupiah steadily loses value against the US dollar, photography equipment is getting more and more expensive. • It’s the season for supercheap nangka (jackfruit), manggis (custard apple) and locally grown grapes (anggur) which now sell at the unbelievable price of under Rp12,000/kg at Hardy’s; even cheaper in trad markets. • Ada gula, ada semut. Where there is sugar, there are ants. When you have money, people gather around you. When you lose it, they dump you. • An Environmental Health Perspectives (Feb. issue) study found that arsenic in the urine of babies who were fed formula was 7.5 times higher than babies who were drinking breast milk. • To instantly make a creamy sauce for a dish, pour in small 65 ml Rp1,500 sachets of Kara Sun Santan Kelapa Siap Pakai coconut cream. • End of rainy season is start of dengue fever season, so now’s the time to get rid of all those puddles of stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. • Aberystwyth University studied the bacteria transferred in handshakes, high ¿ves, and ¿st bumps—and found that handshakes transfer 10-20 times more bacteria than fist bumps. • If you’re in a remote village or locale in Indonesia, make online payments for PDM (water), PLN (electricity) and bus and train ticketing at an LPD (koperasi) of¿ce. • Don’t give up on the idea that your words can be kept secret from companies and governments by learning encryption. • The DuckDuckGo search engine doesn’t record search histories. • If your Àashlight only lights intermittently when you turn it off and on, insert a Rp500 coin at bottom of batteries. • If you combine trips, drive and accelerate slower and check tire pressure, easily save 10%-20% yearly on your fuel costs. • Replacing vacuum cleaner ¿lters twice yearly will help

ensure adequate suction. • Legally download the whole 10 GB Wikipedia by using bit torrent. • “A person’s treatment of money - how they make it and how they spend it - is the most decisive test of his character.” James Moffatt. *Beware fraudster bank scams. If you use Internet banking, don’t believe emails that you receive from your bank via mobile, laptop or tablet alerting you to account activity, asking to verify your account or change your online banking details. Banks will never ask you to enter your PIN or password; ask you to call them; ask you download pdf’s, ¿ll out forms or complete a test transaction. If you get any of these bogus requests, it’s undoubtedly fake even though the email looks genuine as does the website address it links to. Downloading antivirus software that blocks phishing helps. *Buy local cheaper! You can get a lot of expensive western brand imported products in supermarkets and mall shops, but some top rated Indonesian local products or locally manufactured Western brands are just as good and cost considerably less. Best buys with representative low prices: office supplies (Faber, desk accessories, paper); Medical supplies like Betadine, Hypa¿x adhesive tape bandage (cut to size) and Hansaplast bandaids which contain silvercare in the pad, an antiseptic that heals cuts beautifully. Citra body (Rp6920 200 ml) and skin lotions (Rp11,000 12 ml); Biore skincare products, cleansing soaps; Martha Tilaar range, but just normal, not the Biokos skin-whitening line; Olay lotion products; Garnier skinwhitening products popular with teenagers; Gatsby hairstyling gel/wax/paste/putty/shampoo, deodorant (great for those Manga hairstyles); shower & body gels like Lux which smell so much better than ones at home; medicated talcum powders like Salicyl Menthol which smell so much nicer than those in West; Dettol antibacterial soap; Lourier sanitary products for girls; Cap Lang Cajuput oil (minyak kayu putih) for tummy aches and bloating when you have over indulged; Tiger Balm for headaches, sore backs and clearing the nose; toothpaste brands (Close Up, Oral-B, Pepsodent) and toothbrushes; Selection and Sariayu (Rp8000) makeup pads; Kana, Sekar Jagat (Rp8,340), Mustika Ratu and Herborist body scrubs, lotions and washes – all good; Caladine (Rp8540/60 gr, Rp12,290/100 gr); Prantal powder to prevent sweat rash; Cussons powder (Rp10,170/100 ml) and baby lotion (Rp16,830/200 ml) to soothe nappy rash; deodorants are the same brands as are found in the West but cheaper: Rexon (Rp13,400/40 ml) and She Bluette with lovely light lemony scent; local colloidal silver, 1/6 the price of counterparts in Australia. *Travel tips: If booking accommodations through www. booking.com, www.agoda.com and www.xpedia.com.au, they’ll allow you to book now and pay on arrival. This is great because you’re able to keep an eye on prices and change your booking if cheaper deals come up. Get some wonderful bargains on these easy-to-use sites and you can also read other travellers feedback. For only around AU$50 a night for two, stay in some lovely places. If you do a re¿ned search on booking.com, for example, you can ¿ll in “1 room” and “4 people” and you’ll get not only family rooms for four, but also 2-bedroom accommodations.

Local News Bali Governor Pushes for Organic Agriculture & Solar Power Bali Governor Made Pastika met with the new ambassador of Denmark to discuss the electricity demands of the island. “We plan to develop renewable energy sources, such as a Solar Power Plant (SPP) because Bali has abundant sunshine throughout the year, both during the rainy and dry seasons, which is mostly going to waste,” Pastika said when receiving the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Denmark to Indonesia, Casper Klynge, in Denpasar on Wednesday (18/3). He pointed to the current power needs of Bali, which still relies mainly on electricity from Java and a number of smaller local, diesel and coal plants. Solar energy has already been developed on the island, namely in Karangasem and Bangli, but only in a very small capacity. Pastika and Klynge discussed the possibility of Denmark investing in solar energy on the Island in order to expand the facility in Bali. Pastika also spoke with the United States Ambassador to Indonesia, Robert Blake to discuss environmental policy and potentially establishing a bilateral relationship with

Hawaii on Tuesday (17/3). Pastika unveiled another facet of his Mandara plan by undertaking the development of solar panels in Bangli and Karangasem as well as increasing the number of organic fertilizer industrial units for the agriculture sector. “The Bali Mandara vision was created so that one day Bali will be a green province and an organic island,” said Pastika. “Bali’s Provincial government plans to create a policy which will force public administrative offices to source at least 10 % of their energy requirements from solar energy outlets,” said Pastika. According to Pastika, the government is set to increase the number of fertilizer producing units from 500 to 1000 to ensure that more farmers have access to organic fertilizers rather than toxic-based fertilizers. Pastika and Ambassador Blake also put forward the idea of establishing a ‘sister province’ relationship between Bali and the state of Hawaii to generate information and economic flows between the two regions.

Indonesia Offers Visa-free Travel for 30 More Countries To boost tourist numbers, Indonesia from next month will waive visa requirements for nationals from an extra 30 countries - but not Australia - the government has announced. When the new regulation goes into effect, there will be a total of 45 countries whose citizens can enter Indonesia for short-term visits without the need for a visa. “Offering visa-free travel is one of the easiest ways to boost tourist numbers,” Tourism Minister Arief Yahya said on Monday (16/3). Arief said the government was hoping that an estimated 10 million foreign tourists would spend at least $1 billion this year. Indonesia recorded 9 million foreign tourist arrivals in 2014, rising from 8.8 million visitors in 2013. “Only nine million tourists came to Indonesia last year. Thailand recorded 26 million foreign tourist arrivals last year and Malaysia recorded 27 million foreign tourists last year. By waiving visa requirements, we can attract more tourists than Thailand or Malaysia in two years,” Arief said. Australia, with which ties are currently strained over the pending execution of two Australian drug convicts, was not included in the list of visa-free countries. “If we give visa-free travel to Australia, we have to be given the same thing,” Arief was quoted as saying by Reuters, stressing the importance of reciprocity. The minister denied that the decision was tied to the planned execution of the two Australian nationals. “I can guarantee that if the Australian government wants [to agree to visa-free travel], that the foreign minister and president will almost definitely want it too,” Arief said. Australian tourists accounted for 12 percent of foreigners visiting Indonesia in 2014, according to the Central Statistic

Agency (BPS), making them the third-largest group after Singaporeans and Malaysians. While the new measure was expected to boost arrivals to Indonesia, the government admitted there was a risk of visitors abusing the new arrangement. “It’s true that the government is worried about tourist breaking immigration laws with the implementation of this policy, especially tourists from China,” said Justice and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly. “Last year there were 3,300 cases involving Chinese tourists.” Visa-free travel will only be available through five international airports in Jakarta, Medan, Batam, Bali and Surabaya, and would come with tighter monitoring, Yasonna said. Foreign tourists found smuggling illegal goods, such as drugs, would face serious penalties, the Justice Minister said. The chief of Indonesia’s armed forces, meanwhile, has said the government had discusses security matters related to the visa-free travel plan. “We have discussed it in the cabinet meeting and there is no problem,” Gen. Moeldoko told news portal detik.com. “The most important thing is that we are ready to anticipate any risk.” Citizens from the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations as well as Hong Kong, Macau, Ecuador, Chile and Peru were already exempted from the visa requirement. The countries that will join this list next month are: China, Japan, South Korea, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and South Africa.

Indonesia Largest Trilingual Country in the World According to a survey conducted by Swiftkey, Indonesia has the largest trilingual population worldwide. The survey, which was conducted to commemorate International Mother Language Day on February 21, tested how well people typed three languages. The survey found the largest number of trilingual speakers in Indonesia, with participants most commonly being fluent in Indonesian, Javanese, and English. Indonesia was followed in the survey rankings by Israel and Spain, with the most common languages spoken fluently in those two countries being Hebrew, English, and Russian and Spanish, Catalan, and English, respectively.

A boat with this capacity can help improve the ability of SAR services so that search and rescue for accidents occurring at sea can be responded to properly, quickly, effectively, and efficiently,” said Henry Bambang Soelistyo, head of Basarnas. He said that the Arjuna had a length of 40 meters, is 7.8 meters wide, has a 1400 HP engine, and weighs 126 tons. The vessel is capable of carrying 25 tons of fuel and can make 30 knots at sea.Soelistyo said the ship could be used for training exercises along with coordinating rescue efforts with other facilities while at sea.

She’s totally in love [her baby] Stella. She and her daughter have spent the past couple days getting acquainted with one another.” Scifo declined to comment on whether Mack, 19, would be keeping the infant in her cell at Bali’s notorious Kerobokan prison. Officials at the jail reportedly allow new mothers to spend the first two years of her life with their infants. The infant’s father, Tommy Schaefer, 21, who is also on trial for the murder of Mack’s mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, has yet to see his daughter. Police have accused Schaefer of beating von Wiese-Mack to death in her hotel room with the metal handle of a fruit bowl Aug. 12 after the two got into a heated argument. Mack allegedly helped stuff her mother’s body into the suitcase, then sat on it in order to get it closed. If convicted of premeditated murder, the two Chicago residents could face death by firing squad. The couple’s trial is currently underway, and a verdict could be reached within several weeks. “This is a very stressful time for her,” Scifo adds, “but the one joy she has in this world right now is that she has Stella.” (March 23rd 2015)

Indonesia to Withdraw Local Language Plan for Foreign Workers

Indonesia Gears Up For Bali and Beyond Travel Fair 2015

Indonesia will withdraw a plan that would force foreign workers to take local language proficiency exams after protests from investors, two government officials said. Manpower Minister Muhammad Hanif Dhakiri earlier this month told reporters the government would require existing and prospective foreigners to pass Indonesian language tests to work in the country, a move seen by many foreign investors as protectionist. Currently, foreigners do not have to speak Indonesian to receive a work permit for Southeast Asia’s largest economy. “Coordinating ministers agreed last week that the planned regulation should be dropped. The details are now being worked out within the cabinet,” said a government official, with knowledge of the matter, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media. A second government official confirmed that the plan for language tests would be withdrawn after “many people complained, including domestic investors who said they needed foreign expertise.” Minister Dhakiri on Friday (20/3) denied that the language test requirements would be cancelled. The minister was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday. Companies have increasingly raised concerns about the growing difficulties of obtaining work permits for foreign workers, with language exams being the latest example. “If they do withdraw this, we are encouraged by that. It is an unnecessary barrier,” said Lin Neumann, managing director of the American Chamber of Commerce Indonesia. (March 24th 2015)

Indonesia is set to hold the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) in Nusa Dua, Bali, from June 10 to 14 this year to introduce the countries tourism to the world. The BBTF 2015, which is being organized for the second time this year, will promote not only the famous tourist resorts in Bali, but also those in other Indonesian regions such as Papua, Yogyakarta, Padang, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Sulawesi and Sumatera. The “World’s Best Island” of Bali was selected to host the BBTF because the island is known as the gateway of Indonesia that attracts foreign tourists to visit other regions of the country. The Indonesian government has targeted to attract 12 million foreign tourists this year and 20 million by 2019. Bali is expected to receive some four million tourists in 2015. Some 40 percent of the total foreign tourists visiting Indonesia land in Bali first and then proceed to other tourist resorts in the country. It was decided that the event would be held in mid June because it would then coincide with the annual Bali Art Festival. Indonesia has intensified its marine tourism promotional activities in accordance with the vision of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to revive the glorious maritime past of the nation. It also has around 5.8 million square kilometers of marine territory, which constitutes huge marine tourism potential. The Indonesian government has set a target of earning US$4 billion from marine tourism this year, up from the target of US$1 billion the previous year. Tourism Minister Arief Yahya recently pointed out that Indonesia has yet to optimize its maritime tourism potential as a key source of income. (March 18th 2015)

A Melbourne woman who had reportedly complained of breathing problems has been found dead in a Bali hotel. The 54-year-old was staying with her sister and friends at the Akmani hotel in Legian when she was found in her room on Friday morning (13/3). An employee from the hotel said the woman had complained of having trouble breathing on Thursday, and had a history of illness. The woman reportedly visited a nearby clinic for a check-up the day before her death. Her body was examined at the Sanglah morgue where an internal investigation found no sign of trauma.The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the woman’s family. (March 14th 2015) Bali Nine Clemency Bid Continues The Australian government will keep pushing for clemency for Bali Nine pair Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan while their lawyers fight for another appeal. ‘No we haven’t had any update,’ Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Nine Network on Monday (23/3). ‘The legal proceedings are still underway and I don’t expect to see any change or any information emanating from the government until such time as the legal avenues have been fully pursued.’ Sukumaran and Chan have yet to be given a date for their execution on an Indonesian prison island for the 2005 Bali Nine heroin smuggling plot. Their lawyers will go back to court on Wednesday to fight for another appeal. Ms Bishop says the government’s stance remains the same. ‘We will continue to make representations that these men should be granted clemency,’ she said. ‘We will continue to make those representations to the Indonesian government, but while they’re still alive there is still hope.’ (March 23rd 2015)

Indonesia Arrests Five Islamic State Suspects Indonesia said it has arrested five men suspected of raising funds and recruiting new members for the Islamic State group, which Jakarta calls ISIS. At a news conference Monday (23/3), Vice Chief of Police, General Badrodin Haiti said the five were taken into custody Saturday in the suburbs of Jakarta. “We’re in the midst of an investigation,” he said. “But based on the initial data we have, they are involved in ISIS network,” he said. He added that authorities discovered travel documentation such as passports and airline tickets, several cell phones and cash in Indonesian and U.S. currencies when they raided the home of one of the suspects. The suspects have not had a chance to publicly respond to the allegations against them. Indonesia has been actively trying to combat recruitment by Islamic State, which it banned last year. But the police general said the group’s recruitment efforts have spread to several parts of the country. “ISIS pockets are not only in Poso [in central Sulawesi], but also in some other areas where there are ISIS followers or sympathizers,” he said. Not only in Poso but they are also in East and Central Java, East Nusa Tenggara and South Sulawesi.” News of the arrests came as Indonesia opened a conference in Jakarta on the threat posed by the Islamic State. Vice President Jusuf Kalla opened the meeting by saying the militant group has taken advantage of problems in Syria and Iraq. Dozens of Indonesians are believed to have joined the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Indonesia has said it is planning to revoke the citizenships of those who have joined the group. Officials have said the radical group contradicts Indonesia’s pluralist state ideology, which is called Pancasila. (March 23rd 2015)

Proposals lately aired that would further limit the number of foreign workers in Indonesia are sensible. As a medium- to long-term strategy they are surely free of any downside. Though that would be in the context of the further development of the nascent ASEAN free market where, as in the European Community, state borders and indeed national citizenship would become progressively less important. But most foreign workers in Indonesia are not “white”, as economic ministers looking for nationalistic headlines like to suggest. That old pejorative is code for “former colonial oppressors and their running dogs”. Indonesians are not disadvantaged because 70 years of independence has failed to free them from the fiscal drag of the colonial era. Instead, they are not as advantaged as they could be, because their governments have failed for seven decades to build an open, educated society and legislated for the competitive economy that would then have developed.

boost, was also there and in fine style. He was shore-based at the time but told us he was shortly back off to his floating home, a nicely fitted out former West Australian crayfish boat, for its next tour of duty to the Mentawai Islands and beyond with surfing-diving-fishing fans in tow. He gave us one of his new corporate T-shirts as a memento. It’s a fetching black and has a logo which – from a distance – resembles that of a particularly sought-after brand of motorbike that goes vroom in an expensively classy way.

Bombast Away!

Nationalistic claptrap offers nothing of value. It produces only deflective, self-serving political rhetoric. The economy does not run on rhetoric. It runs on money. If Indonesians desire progress, which they sensibly do, the ex-colonial cringe is a tiresome mindset they should have sent to the junkyard long ago. A real economic imperative facing Indonesia is foreign investment. The national investment board, announcing recently that a “one-stopshop” would soon open (good luck with all the sub-national impediments, chaps) said it estimated US$23 billion in planned investment was forgone in the five years 20072012 because regulatory and administrative holdups, and endemic corruption, chased it away. So far as employment goes, if there are Indonesian workers who can do the job, no one in their right mind would recruit anyone else (in Indonesia). But what’s needed is an effective middle economy in the huge space between local globallist enterprises and the small-to-micro business sector (both of which work well).

The risk Bali faces of slipping behind in the race to win market share in the highly competitive international tourism market has lately come to the fore as a topic of official conversation. That this has been primarily in a constructive sense is a significant benefit. Applied analysis beats boring bombast any time, as an indicator of which of the paths thus far less travelled should in fact be chosen. State reform minister Yuddy Christiano recently said that despite Bali’s popularity there were still areas that required improvement, among them measures to avoid the slightest risk of not providing the best service. That’s a fair point. It depends on the view of the tourists concerned what service can be defined as best. But most people want things that work efficiently and on schedule. Over to Bali tourism head Anak Agung Gede Putra Yuniarta, who points out that the key to maintaining visitor levels and providing a better experience in spite of rising costs lies in creativity and services. His list of must-do’s includes creating tour packages that show visitors more of Bali and encourage repeat business, enough electricity, road infrastructure that gets tourists to and from their ooh and aah places without giving them a headache or a conniption, and improving the environment of tourism sites.He also notes that domestic tourists these days can visit Singapore and Malaysia and spend less doing so than if they came to Bali.

That requires not only coordinated policies that actually work and are implemented, including foreign investment, but also a cultural change: No more “passing” people as qualified because not to do so would be culturally embarrassing (or invidious to the interests of and continued presence in Indonesia of the examiner); a real work ethic inspired from the top (that’s where the bosses work harder than those they employ); an education system that produces young people with well rounded global skills; and a health system that keeps people healthy and therefore productive. It also requires effective public infrastructure, both physical and human. And last, though certainly not least, it needs government and business environments that are notable for minimal corruption and sound judicial decisions rather than the reverse of this. “Expats” (a ridiculous word) have a limited role in Indonesia’s efforts to build a truly balanced economy. Foreign workers should be regulated by legislation, but in the context of an environment in which private profit (universally and fairly taxed as a revenue growth stream) is recognized and supported as a generator of wider wealth. Now there’s another vacant space that could and should be filled with objective, forward-thinking debate.

In this context, efforts to build up the nascent Indian tourism trade would be boosted by direct flights to Bali and free visas. Figures for January and February this year show 17,400 Indian tourists visited, up 47.5% on the same months last year. It seems Indian tourists are impressed with the artistry and customs of Balinese Hinduism and yoga is a modern cultural connection. There was a conference in Nusa Dua on Mar. 26-28 from which further Indian media promotion was expected. Free visas are certainly an issue. The government last year expanded the list of countries for which VOA charges would be removed and this year announced a further expansion, to 40 countries. Australia was on the first list but then wasn’t, the reason given being that it did not offer a reciprocal privilege to Indonesian travellers. Yes, well, perhaps someone was finding a plausible excuse after removing his foot from his mouth. Now a court has ruled that free visas must be reciprocal or that they are otherwise illegal (apparently this is the intent of existing legislation). This is a further embarrassment for tourism minister tourism minister Arief Yahya. A significant number of countries on Jakarta’s fanfare of free visa felicities do not offer reciprocity. The dogs have been eating his homework yet again.

Take a Break

That’s the Spirit

When the diary in Ubud, which is often because it’s a fun place to be – it’s got everything, after all, from spirit festivals to sex therapy (either amateur or professional) – we’re often to be found at Warung Semesta in Jl Monkey Forest. It has very nice coffee, a decent café-style menu, and reliable WiFi. The latter is essential these days since you carry your office with you in your laptop. It’s attached to the Tegal Sari resort, which specializes in the Japanese tourist market but not exclusively so. As a drop-in spot for shopped-out shoppers, Semesta’s hard to beat, too, as it’s located just round the corner from where Jl Hanoman meets Jl Raya Pengosetan and segues into Jl Monkey Forest. (Hanoman is named after Hanuman, monkey hero of the Ramayana).The establishment is very near the monkey forest itself. A little troupe of macaques can sometimes be seen foraging in the mango trees outside or performing trapeze-style on the PLN wires.

The Bali Spirit Festival got under way in Ubud yesterday (Mar. 31) and runs until Sunday (Apr. 5). It’s in its eighth year. Like other song-and-dance shows on the calendar it may face problems in the future as the demographic of Bali tourism changes and Bali – inevitably – with this. But that shouldn’t worry inspirer-guru of the Global Celebration of Yoga, Dance & Music Meghan Pappenheim this year, or the happy-clapping collective which organizers said was expected to number 6000 and come from more than 50 countries. There’s all the usual material at the festival’s two venues, one for the day-long workshops and the Agung Rai Museum of Art Open Stage for nightly world music concerts. Both venues also feature markets focusing on health and wellness through organic and healthy foods, crafts, clothing and merchandise.

surfers a chance to compete against some international talent.

This column often bemoans the sad state of Indonesian sport and the fact that despite having a population of over 250 million,Indonesia performs poorly at international level in all sports.One does not have to look too far to see where the problem is,namely the administration of sports here in Indonesia, with officials giving the impression that they are more concerned with their own welfare rather than the athletes entrusted to them. The postponement by the Indonesian FA (PSSI) of the start of the Indonesian football league is one example.Another example of this is the ongoing legal battle between the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) and the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI)

Holding an event at Keramas,Gianyar always has a great chance of attracting the attention of the world’s best surfers- Championship Tour (CT) athlete Taj Burrow (AUS) has already committed to compete at the event. Burrow lives in Western Australia which is only a short three hour flight away from Bali and plans to head there directly after his local CT event, the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro.

The National Sports Committee has long been blamed for fouling up Indonesia’s sports development in red tape was hit with a one-two punch in its belligerent attempts to be recognized as the top national sports administration body in the country.

“Komune Bali is stoked to be hosting the Komune Bali Pro again with the Mad Hueys boys and the WSL. We wanted to be able to give something back to Bali and the Bali surfers who allow us to exist in this magic location at Keramas. Together with the Mad Hueys we believe this year will be bigger and better than ever and allow some of the talented Indonesian surfers to compete against some of the best in the world at one of the best waves in the world right in front of the Komune Bali pool. “ said Tony Cannon

The Constitutional Court on Wednesday March 18, rejected a legal motion by the National Sports Committee, to reinterpret an article in the 2015 National Sports Law that recognizes the rival Indonesian Committee, as the country’s sole national member committee of the International Olympic Committee, or IOC. The ruling came a week after the Central Jakarta Commercial Court ordered the National Sports Committee to cease its illegal use of the Olympic rings in its logo. Only the Indonesian Olympic Committee as Indonesia’s IOC national committee member, is allowed to use the rings or any other Olympic symbols in its logo, but the National Sports Committee has insisted on using it since 2013. As the Jakarta Globe reports “The KOI and KONI have long been at loggerheads over their respective roles in national sports development and sanctioning athletes for international competitions, but the rivalry came to a head earlier this year when the IOC warned that KONI’s continued illegal use of the Olympic rings logo could cost Indonesia its role in any IOC-sanctioned event, including the 2018 Asian Games, to be hosted in Jakarta.”

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

Yolanda Onderwater: Sukacita Foundation

Yo l a n d a Onderwater was born in Holland, the oldest child growing up in a traditional f a m i l y environment. For many years her world was no bigger than the small village of De Kwakel outside of Amsterdam. Yolanda earned her teacher’s credential in 1979. After 10 years working in an elementary school and in an institute for children with mental disabilities, she continued her education in a foundation for teaching the paranormal and gifted, graduating in 1995. Yolanda studied craniasacral therapy in Amsterdam in 2006 and traumahealing in 2008 in Wageningen. In 2009, she established her own company World Healing Initiative in Holland. Starting in 2008, Yolanda began studying in Bali under several healers (balian). Yolanda now volunteers as a teacher and therapist on Bali, specializing in special needs children. When did you first visit Indonesia? Even as a small child I had always wanted to go to Indonesia. Ever since my teacher told us about the “Gordel van Smaragd” (Garland of Emeralds), the euphemistic name for the islands of the Dutch East Indies, I had always been determined to go there. But since no one in our village ever ventured far, it always seemed an impossible dream. Finally, when my youngest brother told me he was going to travel in Indonesia, I decided to join him. I’ll never forget the smell of cloves and incense as I stepped out of the plane in Bali. I immediately felt welcome! What is your personal philosophy of working with children? Children with an intellectual disability have a special place in my heart, but every child deserves a loving and carefree life, no matter what their IQ, family background or circumstances. Food, shelter, love and security are all at the core of a child’s wellbeing. A child that feels unsafe will develop defensive and brutal behaviour traits, bent on just sheer survival instead of living. Can you give specific examples of how you helped children with your therapy? In 2009, I worked with children in Sri Lanka who had been traumatized by the 2004 tsunami. Through therapy, they were able to release the trauma suppressed in their minds and damaged bodies. They lost their fear, their nightmares and bedwetting stopped, their behaviour improved and they become happy children again. In a ceremony, they were also able to contact their lost relatives, say goodbye and partly overcome their deep and sudden loss. Why is it important that parents support their child? A child’s happiness starts at home. Many Balinese parents look on a child with an intellectual disability as a burden and don’t take the trouble to understand him or her. We teach them to appreciate their child’s uniqueness. Unfortunately, one misconception that many parents have is that their disabled child will be cured one day. This is unrealistic and hinders the parents from accepting the situation as it is and working towards making their child happy and productive. What is Yayasan Sukacita’s mission? The foundation strives to share knowledge about children with intellectual disabilities. More information will result in

a greater understanding about the world of these children. Our book Anak Unik, only available in the Indonesian language, is a valuable tool for any Indonesian-speaking relative or friend involved in the care of an intellectually challenged child.

What methods does your staff use? Sukacita doesn’t adopt any projects or schools, but helps schools stand on their own feet. Our aim is to raise awareness and give teachers the freedom to apply the information to the Balinese context. Sukacita is actually not so different from a therapist working with clients. A therapist helps a client overcome problems by giving insights into their problem. The client then implements that knowledge in his or her own life, not as a clone of the therapist, but wiser and with enough confidence to follow his/her own path.

What are your yayasan’s goals in teaching special education teachers? It’s not about learning theory from a book. It’s about understanding. Teaching one teacher will bring benefit up to 10 children. Information shared with 10 teachers will reach 100 children. A teacher who gains insights into the mind of one of these kids will approach other intellectually challenged kids differently. Teachers must learn that a disabled child cannot be educated in the same way as a ‘normal’ child. With more understanding and by using our book Anak Unik, the teacher can be more effective. What schools, institutions and projects do you coordinate with?

We work closely with SLB Tabanan, SLB Denpasar, SLB Gianyar, Graha Anak Unik School, Puskesmas Ubud and the Socialisatie Bali project in Tampaksiring. We also present workshops to a wider public audience in Denpasar in cooperation with the Suryani Institute. We try to put each member of the audience in the shoes of a child with an intellectual disability. How is your organization funded and staffed? We get our operating funds from donations, sponsors and fundraising. The volunteer work of my two partners – Marieke Nijland is special needs teacher and Mila van der Meer is a social worker - are invaluable. Both are professional consultants for teachers and parents and are very experienced and passionate about their professions. We accept only Indonesian volunteers because our goal is to spread knowledge among the people of Indonesia. Yayasan Sukacita always gives training on location to share information about children with intellectual disabilities with teachers, parents and caretakers. Do you get any help from local government?

NC/NS/U-18 Mar 15

Bali’s department of education connects us with the headmasters of all the special ed schools and advises us on how to operate within the Indonesian system. We believe it’s important to cooperate with local organizations that know about the culture.

Any success stories of children your foundation has helped? One child had been in school for many years without passing any of her classes. The teachers told her that she was too stupid. Our Graha Anak Unik local school project, that shares knowledge and ideas between schools, gave her new confidence. Another child gained friends for the first time and learned to laugh. There are also many kids who felt safe with their new Graha Anak Unik teacher and opened up their personalities. It’s a joy seeing children who truly like going to school. How can readers learn more about Sukacita Foundation projects? Our website is www.sukacita.org. Our office is on Jl. Gunung Sari in Peliatan, Ubud. Our book Anak Unik is available for Rp50,000 (softcover) and Rp100,000 (hardcover) at Ganesha bookstores.

Obituary – Lee Kuan Yew, 1923-2015 The death late last month of Singapore’s founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, marks the passing of the last of Asia’s post-war titans. Without him it is not only hard to imagine the existence of present-day Singapore as the successful nation cum city-state that it has become, but hard to envisage the state of peace and prosperity that South East Asia currently enjoys.

foremost power, Indonesia’s General Suharto. Post 1990 he progressively stepped back from the exercise of power, becoming national patriarch and mentor to many world leaders that included all U.S. and Chinese leaders since Nixon and Deng. Today Singapore is routinely described as the Switzerland of South East Asia.

Born in 1923 to a 4th generation Hakka family, Harry Lee (as he then was) grew up in Japanese-occupied Singapore before completing his education in England, where he read law at Cambridge. On his return to Singapore in 1951 he co-founded the People’s Action Party (PAP) in 1954 winning a seat in parliament in 1955. The PAP entered a marriage of convenience in a united front with the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) and the socialists (Barisan Socialis) in the fight to obtain self-government and independence from Britain. In 1959 Lee Kuan Yew became the first Prime Minister of Singapore following the sweeping victory of the PAP at the polls.

To succeed as he did, Lee Kuan Yew combined the philosophies of Plato and Machiavelli, the exercise of a giant intellect with the reflexes of a no-holds-barred street-brawler, all tempered by a ruthless pragmatism. Any form of faithbased politics was for him anathema, a recipe for discord and disaster. Singapore has much to thank him for…, but many paid a heavy price.

Harry Lee: Street-fighting man, Party Boss to Prime Minister, Singapore 1955-59

Could anyone else have achieved such a feat? Probably not, although it should be noted that over the same period Hong Kong achieved a similar economic breakout, without the heavy-handed methods. That said, Singapore’s future independence seems set in stone, which cannot be said of Hong Kong.

In 1963 Singapore joined the Malaysian Federation, but following a hard- fought racially divisive election in 1965, the Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman expelled Singapore from the Federation that August. It was a devastating blow and hard to see how Singapore could survive on its own.

Apart from these nation-building qualities, he could be and often was petty and vindictive in sledgehammer pursuit of those who crossed or disappointed him. If you played on his patch he was remorseless, as his one-time colleague Dewan Nair and solitary opposition MP J.B. Jeyaratnam were to find out. Local journalists particularly, paid a disproportionately heavy price for crossing the line. Visiting Singapore and Malaysia frequently in the 1970s when working for the Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER) the culture of fear was palpable. The broken columnists, having confessed their fault, condemned to eke out an existence in the Siberia of the Straits Times supplements department, the fractured families of lawyers and journalists incarcerated, sometimes without trial held for decades under the ISA; husbands and wives separated by the Causeway and unable to co-habit for want of a visa; deportation for the non-Chinese, the fines, broken careers and denial of housing and benefits.

As we know it did, spectacularly. In one generation under Lee’s inspired if heavy-handed leadership Singapore managed a miraculous leap from Third World country to First World economy. In a dangerous and violent part of the world, supported first by the British then by the Americans, he quickly overcame his objections to ASEAN and, after a rocky start, became friends with the new leader of the Association’s

Lee’s hounding of the press could be both bullying and specious. The foreign press was not exempt, but woe betide a local stringer who transgressed. FEER stringers Ho Kwon Ping and Arun Senkuttuvan were hauled up in 1977 and made to confess to being duped by the communists. A sad sight, but hilarious when Ho Kwon Ping, having confessed his sin, ran rings around his inquisitor/interviewer. Following

In the following years Lee and his PAP associates acted ruthlessly to break the power of their former allies, banning the MCP and the socialist party jailing many of them under the Internal Sedition Act, along with many left-wing lawyers, journalists and educators, accused of communist sympathies.

the spectacle Prime Minister Lee was heard to remark indulgently “Kwon Ping’s young and foolish, but he’s one of us. Don’t know about that Indian fellow though…”. Ho Kwon Ping, now a successful capitalist and hotelier, is the son of a PAP stalwart and then Ambassador to Thailand. Lee liked to have his cake and eat it. He was wont to claim he never ever banned the international press. This did not include reporting on Singapore unfavourably. Given bully’s logic, he was right in a way. He didn’t ban overseas media outright but local printers and distributors would receive a visit from Special branch (SSB) and quickly learn the error of their ways. The net effect being that FEER or other international media acquired an additional and overly keen censor. Some of these convoluted means of censorship were quite bizarre. Determined to hit publishers in the pocket where it hurt, the Ministry of Home Affairs would decree that an offending magazine must not carry any Singaporean advertising. Thus it was that FEER would appear in Singapore with large blanks where SIA’s colour spread would have been, but the same advertisement would appear in SIA’s overseas markets. Another fun one was “gazetting”. This entailed slashing the circulation of the offending publication in Singapore from say 12,000 to 400. This resulted in the hilarious occasion of the PM’s office calling the Asian Wall Street Journal’s local bureau chief to ask why the PM’s daily copy had not arrived. The bureau chief explaining that they had been “gazetted” and, keeping a straight face, referred the PM to the National Library. Fun aside, when the gloves came off it came down to denial of visas, libel actions, fines, bankruptcy, deportation, and ultimately jail time. All of which were unsurprisingly upheld in the Singapore courts. Clearly Mr. Lee wished to inculcate both the respect due his role as World Statesman with the fear inspired by the local street boss. With his departure Singapore and the world have decided the downside was worth it. In many ways Singapore was too small a stage for Lee but perhaps it is just as well for us that his talents were confi ned to just the one city-state. The interesting question now is the future direction of a fully matured, non-nanny post-Lee Singapore. ParacelsusAsia

BA Feature Article

01 April - 15 April, 2015

Bali Blogging

Writing in the digital age packs its own punch and vernacular. A blog- short for web log- is a frequently updated personal journal or diary with chronological entries or posts available on the internet. A blog post is a commentary or opinion by the writer that can range from basic, personal postings like the microblogs on Facebook to well-written, well researched and well thought-out articles by serious bloggers. Topics can be absolutely anything that could remotely interest anybody trolling the net in search of a good read, some wanted information, other peoples’ impressions and expressions, advice, opinions, information to learn from, to be entertained or to be amused by. Blogs cover anything from a to z on the spectrum, the more popular being those that feature fashion, finance, photography, travel, culinary, entertainment, literature, art & culture, health & wellness and social & political commentary. Blogs are usually the work of a single individual though there are multi-author blogs with posts written by any numbers of authors and guest bloggers. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, or other media related to its topic. The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users and made the publishing process accessible to a much larger population. Blogs are hosted by dedicated blog platforms like Wordpress , Blogger, Tumblr, Quora, and Google+, which make the job easy by providing templates, themes, easy to use instructions. Blogs can also be included on regular web sites. Blog genres and types. Anyone can blog. There are personal blogs, corporate & organizational blogs, business & ¿nance, political and social blogs. Some blogs function as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A lot of blogs focus on a particular subject, such as politics, health, sports, travel, home and family, fashion, art, music etc. There are project blogs, education blogs, legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs). How To or Tutorial blogs are increasingly popular. A blog used for the sole purpose of spamming is known as a Splog. A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one containing links is a linklog, or one publishing photos is a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and mixed media types are called tumblelogs. The collective community of all blogs is known as the blogosphere. Reasons for blogging. Blogging can be used as a means to inform or share, to engage the audience by inviting comments and feedback, as a source of income, or simply as an ego trip. Successful blogs are those with a unique angle that cater to a select audience and have plenty of interesting photos, images or graphics to illustrate the topic. Blogging has become very fashionable. It is a great way to reach out to an interested audience, to attract a bevy of followers and create an on-line community with similar interests. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival has frequent discussions about the art of blogging as many authors and writers successfully use this medium to communicate with their fans and attract writing assignments from roving editors. Who is blogging about Bali? - There are many online blogs extemporizing about everything Bali; from the trite, mundane to the truly original and interesting. A lot of those blogs are written by one-time or frequent visitors who gush about their experience in paradise; not always very realistically. Bali based bloggers, of course, have the inside scoop, and they often blog about expat life. Following are just a few of the most outstanding blogs. Ubud Now and Then is a great U website created by Ubud based w photographer Rio Helmi and his p p partner Catriona Mitchell. This b blog contains astute cultural ccommentary accompanied by great photography and is a well g written, deeply researched and w vvery enlightening compilation of a articles that highlight Bali’s n nature, culture and art. Posts are written by Rio, Catriona and a host of guest contributors such as Ibu Cat, Diana Darling, Graeme MacRae. The blog is an endearing tribute to Bali, its customs, rituals and mythology in all its splendors while not overlooking the warts that blight its landscape. Bali.Mehthesheep.com is an imaginative travel-focused blog

with unique content that will inspire people to savor the less mundane and frequented places in Bali, discover abodes and unconventional venues. This is primarily a pictorial blog, a dazzling, remarkable, out-of-the-ordinary amalgamation of all the impressive spots in Bali, be they hidden beaches, stunning water villas, unusual lodgings and off-the-beaten path places. They uncover the secret spots, the most impressive waterfalls, hidden underwater temples, the curious surroundings. If you want special thrills for your next Halloween party, go check out their 7 Strangely Abandoned Places in Bali that will give you the chills. Another good picture focused blog is WowShack. com presenting informative and entertaining tidbits of Bali and Indonesia related content.

Methesheep

If your interest are culinary, check out a great blog called Kitchen In Surgency written tongue in cheek by Karen Wadell, onetime owner of 5 well-known restaurants in Ubud. Culinary blogs in Bali are not rare, of course, this being the island where taste buds get to circle around the world. But few are outstanding though Bayu Amus does a good job of reviewing the new and entrenched restaurants in Bali at his blog site Epicurina. Purely social, entertaining P and enlightening. The most a ttrenchant social commentary is undoubtedly delivered in tthe blogs created by Made Wijaya, one of the more W prolific and opinionated p writers in Bali. Besides a w rrunning lesson on Bali’s ccultural and religious customs, it is a jaw-dropping photoblog and Who’s Who list of Bali’s a notables, sociables and n wannabes. Made is a zany w and eccentric Australian expat a tturned native and only his ego sseems to surpass his writing ttalent. However, it is without a doubt that Wijaya knows what he’s writing about. His quirky blog Stranger in Paradise, which has appeared in several newspapers and magazines since 1996 and is also published in book form, exude the kind of insider knowledge most expats can only dream about. When Made arrived in Bali in 1973, he had the uncanny foresight to get himself adopted by a Brahman family. From that experience, he has gleaned an unsurpassed insider look at the world of Balinese high castes and nobility. Made is a gifted landscape designer and has published marvelous books on tropical garden design and Balinese traditional and modern architecture. But he is best known for his madcap journal of expatriate life in Bali and his intimate knowledge of Balinese culture and history has enlightened new and old expats alike for many years. Besides being a welcome intimate at the proverbial hearths of the important and less important royals, he is very visible in the haute monde of the expat in-crowd and his little black book is a veritable Who’s Who of who’s important in Bali. Made doesn’t bother about the rest. He doesn’t need to. His prodigious talent as a landscape designer, writer, socialite and camp reputation as enfant terrible of the expat circuit are uncontestable. His blogs are chatty, witty, irreverent, sometimes whinny and controversial but always entertaining, providing an ingenious perspective on indigenous Bali life. Catch Made’s regular blogging on www.strangerinparadise. com and his famous FaceBook page or read his monthly column in Now! Bali magazine. More social and cultural commentary well worth reading is the Sleeping Tiger blog by longterm expat Susi Johnston who can also do a mean warning about the controversial use of nominees when purchasing properties in Bali. This blog appears in The Yak and on Susi’s own blog site (susijohnston. com) under the banner SUSI[maga]ZINE. She also uses FaceBook to post daily microblogs, a shorter version of her normal blogs. SUSI[maga]ZINE is actually derived from a nickname she acquired back in her underground scenester days in East Village, NY when she was interning at Andy

Warhol’s Factory and wrote zany blurbs about weird people for little street zines. Susi has been writing for a long time, not only blogs and articles for magazines and diverse local and foreign publications; she is also a book author (Bali Chic) and contributor (Bali: A Traveler’s Companion). Her blog covers all aspects of life: economic, political, and social, albeit with a strong emphasis on art and culture. With an Arts degree from St Andrews University and a lifetime of experience studying arts, culture, history and the humanities, she has great grist for the blog mill. She is especially interested in the esthetics and philosophy of art and the humanities. Her favorite topics are traditional, ancient and tribal cultures, Indonesian textiles, ethnographica, creative economy, the environment and socialpolitical commentary. Her audience is both expat and Indonesian and she blogs bilingually. Susi likes to share links to other bloggers and writers; she regularly posts info on great workshops, exhibitions & art gallery events, dissertations & scholarly works, and innovative design directions, often asking, “How might this work in the context of Bali?” She has a knack for unearthing gems and unusual postings by other bloggers like Tuan Paul, a Dutchman with a colorful blog called Sultans & Rajas in Indonesia or an exhibition of decidedly unorthodox photos by a young French photographer who turned a very eccentric eye on Bali. Susi’s environmental concerns are mirrored in a dedicated Facebook microblog called Bali: How Much is too Much? There she chronicles the ongoing rush of development on this island, including mega monster projects in progress or on the drawing board. Tiffany blogs for dogs – UK journalist Tiffany is a relative newcomer to the Bali media scene though she has superb credentials. She moved here from Shangai where she resided for 10 years, became a famous society girl and freelance writer for the Shanghai Daily, the Shanghai Star and China Eastern magazine. Her most popular column was for the ex-pat monthlies That’s Shanghai and Shangai Talk where she wrote a sassy, snobby and super obnoxious society gossip column called Tiffany with acerbic tongue in cheek humor which people either loved or hated. When she moved to Bali she wanted to continue writing and publishing and replicate the enormous success of the Tiffany column but was stymied by the selective, cliquish and internalized nature of Bali’s publications and ¿gured she had better things to do than trying to ingratiate herself into the scene. So she wrote a book, A Dog Day in the Life, and is starting a puppy blog called Therebyhangsatail to chronicle life through the eyes of her two toy poodles, Putri Cantic and Putri Suci Manis. Making money with blogs. Depending on content, style and veracity some popular blogs attract millions of readers. Some bloggers amass a great fan base and become famous; often they can parley their notoriety into TV appearances, books, even movies. Julie Powell’s blog posted her daily progress cooking every recipe from the Julia Child Cookbook; it was made into the ¿lm Julie & Julia, apparently the ¿rst to do so. Successful blogs have a unique angle or cater to a very speci¿c audience. It is a place to express yourself to the world, to share your thoughts, opinions, interests and passions. The Internet is a medium that is unparalleled in its reach and offers the opportunity to ordinary people to reach a global audience with little trouble.
