— Jenggala Ceramics Bali “The company started because my grandfather loved to feed people, “ said Naomi Soetarjo. She is the third-generation to help run Jenggala, a familyowned ceramics business based in Sanur.

Travelers had begun to stay at the bungalows in Sanur and this grew eventually into a boutique hotel, the Tandjung Sari, which is still operating today. Big hotels such as the Hyatt were just opening in Bali at that time. The Tandjung Sari became popular with tourists and has stayed popular as a small luxury hotel. When Wija met a New Zealand potter named Brent Hasslyn, the idea for Jenggala was born. (Jenggala is an old Sanskrit name.) The initial orders were made for friends and family, then for hotel guests who saw the unique plate designs in the restaurant. Then, special orders for other hotels started to come in. Jenggala ceramics has a unique look with a very Bali focus that matched well with the large hotels, Naomi told me. Jenggala’s key core products – and most popular designs – still feature frangipani, lotus and banana leaf motifs. Jenggala’s logo is the stylized face of Dewi Sri, the Balinese goddess of rice and fertility. Jenggala grew bigger and bigger through the 1980s and 1990s.

Jenggala Jenggala Ceramics Bali grew from a small cottage industry to become the largest ceramic producer on the island. They now supply major hotel chains and restaurants all over the world and employ nearly 300 craftsmen. Her grandfather, Wija Wao-Runtu, originally travelled back and forth to Bali from Jakarta in the 1970s with his English wife, Judith. They had an antiques business in Java. Wija loved the Sanur area and built a house on the beach there. Both ex-pat and Indonesian friends began to build houses around him. ‘My grandfather loved to feed people,” said Naomi. He held frequent dinner parties for his friends at his house, she said. Naomi told me that her grandparents first used dishes from their own private antiques collection when they entertained in Sanur. However, once the hotel started, and more tourists were visiting Bali, Wija saw a possible business opportunity in making and selling ceramics inspired by Bali, both through the hotel and directly to tourists.

Fast-forward to today, and Jenggala is the largest ceramic factory in Bali, with an inventory of more than 3000 designs, both past and present. The company has a flagship store in Sanur. Naomi told me that visitors come from all over Indonesia just to shop at the store and keep track of the newest designs. (Jenggala also sells their ceramics online.) Hotels and restaurants all over the world stock ceramics from Jenggala, such as The Chedi in Switzerland and Oman, Mirihi Island Resort in the Maldives and Bakemart Gourmet in Dubai. Jenggala has outlets in Japan and South Korea. While Jenggala did have a glass blowing space for a time, and produced glassware, Naomi said that the company has decided to return to its original focus on ceramic ware. Where once they used materials local to Bali, the company now produces its own “clay body” to rigorous Indonesian legal quality standards, so materials come from all over Indonesia. “There’s a spot between a home industry and a larger company, and we sit right in the middle,” said Naomi. Because they have a large capacity, yet can still fill small custom orders, Jenggala can make small runs of unique

designs. Being a family business and retaining control even as they grew bigger, allowed the family to have a “strong narrative with our brand” said Naomi, which is about both Indonesian and Balinese culture, and telling those stories. All photography, marketing, social media and IT are done in-house and allows the company to keep a consistent look, feel, image and communication about their products. “We balance this with also showcasing our work as beautiful artworks,” said Naomi (the family were originally artists – her grandfather trained as a filmmaker and her mother studied Fine Arts). “We also try to tell the artists’ stories. Many of the families who started working with my grandfather in the 1970s are still with us today,” said Naomi. Highlighting the artisans who make the ceramics is something Jenggala wants to do more of in the future. The company has won numerous awards, including the UNESCO Award of Excellence for Handicrafts and Best Design and Best Products awards from Indonesia’s International SME Exhibition and Inacraft. Jenggala also takes their social responsibility to the Balinese community seriously: they have collaborated on projects with the Coral Triangle Center, held fundraisers for earthquake survivors in Palau and donate 10% of sales of their “sokasi” candle holder to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, which works with Balinese women with breast cancer. You can also join a Paint a Pot class at Jenggala and design your own ceramic creation. The class is aimed at older children (10 years old and up) and adults. The price includes 1.5 kg of stoneware clay, tools and colors for your design and the hands of a master craftsman, Ricko Gabriel, to guide you.

Restaurant & Food

Update Massimo - il Ristorante has been the star of the Sanur dining scene ever since opening. It is probably the biggest restaurant in the area and without doubt the busiest. Part of that reason is Massimo the always present chef/owner who is forever attempting to improve what is on offer. His latest product to introduce on the menu is a range of that classic Italian dessert, Semi fredo. Massimo is a perfectionist, so it followed many months of testing and tasting plus the installation of a special refrigerated cabinet at the front of the restaurant in which to display the semi-fredo and maintain it at the required minus 5 degrees [semi fredo = half cold] even though the product has to be made at minus 20 degrees for setting. Semi fredo is sometimes referred to, incorrectly, as an ice cream cake or frozen mousse. It has a base of sponge cake and rum to which a vast variety of ingredients are added, On offer at Massimo is Trinakria [pictured] with pomegranate, lemon sorbet and strawberry, quite sensational!

to share and try many different ones. I had always thought that the Italian Zabaglioni was the most luscious dessert but that was before I tried Massimo’s Semi fredo, magic!

Nagisa has opened at the Nikko Hotel, Nusa Dua. It is essentially an Izakaya restaurant in true Japanese tradition but Robatayaki is also served and if you sit at the bar in front of the cooking area, with the fresh ingredients all in front of you it is as if you are really in Japan. For the opening special platters are available, Sashimi, Sushi and Robatayaki.

Divine Earth is a vegetarian restaurant, with vegan options, on Jln. Basangkasa, Seminyak. It is a haven for those who crave plant-based food. Upstairs is a small cinema where you can watch old classics whilst eating/drinking. Twist Ubud , Pengosekan, is one of the latest rave

restaurants. Small and cosy it requires prior booking if going at peak times. Their Pork Caramel [a Vietnamese touch] is the goto dish although the chicken dishes are also very good [curries, cashew, etc].

Nebula is a trendy café in the old tourist area of Poppies

Also on offer is 800A [ricotta cheese, pistachio cream, cherry], 7 Segreti [cookies, hazelnut and chocolate], Black Lotus [Dutch speculoos biscuit, white and normal chocolate] and Zibaldone [zabaione, almond and choco chips]. All the semi fredo can be ordered by slice or whole so it is possible

Lane II, Kuta. Different from the rest it serves great coffee and a range of breakfasts, brunch, snacks and light meals. The cuisine is mostly Asian but also with many western dishes with Asian touches. Healthy breakfasts, wraps, burgers, etc. The Quinoa Salad is very healthy, the ‘Thai’ Beef Salad is not very Thai, served with lettuce [no lettuce in Thailand]. Bruschettas, Spaghetti and Sandwiches. The Asian menu includes a Korean Kimchi Fried Rice, a Korean Spicy BBQ Pork and Thai Fried Rice with pork belly. From Indonesia the usual Spring Rolls, Nasi, Mie Gorengs and a range of satays. The Thai Chicken Laksa is a mystery, ‘chicken tights’ I think they mean thighs, and Thai Laksa? Laksa is a Peranakan dish from a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisines… never heard of a Thai version?

C/R/G-13 March 19

Jollie Kitchen is a Middle Eastern restaurant on Jln. Kartika Plaza in front of and a part of the Paradiso Hotel. Bathinjan bil Humus [mixed vegetables with curry sauce, topped with feta], many Kofta [minced meat] bil Sanayah with potato curry, Labanieh with bread and garlic sauce, or Mixed Kebabs [both kofta and sheesh kebabs]. Mains include Shawarma [lamb or beef], Djaj Mahwi [BBQ chickcn leg with fatoush salad and potato or a fusion mish-mash of Spaghetti and chilli tuna, Rista bil Sammakh. Some nights even a belly dancer. Johnny Tacos is a simple name and simple tacos [mostly

of the fresh variety, rather than deep fried] is what you get. A small space close to the Green Garden Hotel, Jln. Kartika Plaza, it is easy to miss even though it has a very colourful décor. Always busy which tells its own story! A few other Mex dishes but it is the tacos that they all come for [with a wide variety of fillings].

Cat & Jo, Pengosekan, was, for a short time, called Navy Seals which was a very strange name with zero meaning to 90% of the passers-by. The menu is the usual ‘International’ with burgers, pizzas, etc., plus a range of Mexican. Some of the burgers are quite unusual, such as chicken teriyaki, and salmon, the double beef burgers seem very popular. Hongalia is on Raya Teges, Ubud, next to Arma Museum entrance. An Asian restaurant with the accent on Japanese, Noodle dishes are their main claim to fame, particularly the Chicken Curry Noodles. Japanese Gyoza, local Satays and many other simple Asian dishes, all served with a smile, reasonable prices and friendly service.

Ubud Area

The Ethics of Animal Experimentation Permit me to broach a controversial topic. Today’s story is not about sex, politics or religion, the usual favourite subjects of strident, opinionated and divisive harangues or polemics. At least not directly. This is a rant about animal abuse and experimentation clothed under the term of experimentation and medical research ‘for the good and/or progress of mankind’. Most of us have a passing knowledge or awareness of what goes on in medical research facilities around the world. Present-day medical advances have to a great degree been at the expense of hapless animals on which new products and procedures have been tested. But that is not the only places where animals were subjected to sometimes gruesome experiments. A few of us grew up in the so called dawn of space exploration and witnessed the first human landing on the moon. Prior to that we marvelled at the first attempts of space exploration and orbital probes in the 1940s and 50s, headlined by the launching of Russia’s Sputniks and America’s V2 and Jupiter rockets. Sunk beneath all the awe and admiration of those feats was the fact that these attempts were made at the cost of animal lives. Who remembers Laika, the first space faring dog? And the many monkeys - all named Alfred - none of which survived their blasts into space? Not to mention other countless monkeys, dogs, cats, rodents and insects whose lives were sacrificed ‘for the good of mankind’. They did not volunteer and they were terrified and tortured by the experiments and most of them died, painfully. Animal astronauts did not usually survive their trips until the late 1950s. Even as late as 1957 Laika suffered an atrocious death due to panic and overheating in the cabin on its 4th orbit around the earth. Other animals shot into space faced a mixed blessing: they might survive or not. If they did, they were merely sent on the next mission. Laika, by the way, did not stand a freezing chance in hell. She would have died regardless because she was on a one-way mission as Sputnik did not have the technology to return to earth. Did their deaths advance the progress of space exploration? The unfortunate answer is yes, it did. At least to the point of proving that animal and by extension human life could survive in space. Was it worth it? And what about the ethics?

Nowadays we no longer send defenceless animals into space as a vanguard to test the waters for the humans to follow. We have computers and robotics to take on that role. Unless you count the more or less humane science experiments involving small animals onboard the International Space Station. These tests are no longer a test of survivability; they now investigate the biological processes and effects of microgravity or measure radiation exposure. At least, they have more than a fighting chance to survive. But what is still going on in our nations’ laboratories is animal based R&D that is not at all benign or humane. The questions for all these experiments now becomes: is it necessary? Do the test results warrant all this pain and suffering? Animals have always been the go-tos when man wants to know if a certain product or procedure would be beneficial or safe to humans. Medical research and experimentation is still a booming business and pharmaceutics mean BIG money. In medical labs all over the world, defenceless animals like rodents, monkeys, dogs, cats and birds and a lot of other species are subjected to undocumented cruelty in vile experiments that leave them either dead, severely injured or traumatised. The justification of all this Frankenstein ado is that animal experiments ultimately benefit mankind. But who is pulling the wool over our eyes? Yes we share a lot of our DNA with animals but not enough to make these tests totally meaningful. The level of suffering involved is so high that the benefits to humanity don’t provide moral justification. Experimentation results can be misleading. They may be valid for the animals in the test but may be totally different, even dangerous for human beings, or vice versa. Just ask yourself how come effective drugs or cures have still not been found for many diseases after umpteen experiments. Animals, so we are told, are inferior to humans and since, in true Judeo-Christian tradition, man has been given dominion over the earth including the animals, it appears to give him carte blanche to use these hapless creatures as he sees fit. Not a word or thought about treating animals humanely. That seems to go out the window together with a good dose of compassion. Animal rights or ethics don’t even come into this line of reasoning. It doesn’t help that in some countries like the USA there are laws that say that all drugs must be tested on animals for safety before they can be used in humans. The socalled Animal Welfare Act (AWA) allows animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, maimed, isolated, starved, forcibly restrained, addicted to drugs, and braindamaged. No experiment, no matter how painful or trivial, is prohibited—and painkillers are not even required.

To make it worse, some tests that have proven to be totally useless continue to be performed. A good example of that is the experiment at Texas A&M University where hundreds of dogs are deliberately maimed and injured in a study of Muscular Dystrophy that so far has not contributed one iota of progress to benefit human sufferers of MD. The answer is staring us in the face. Animals feel pain, fear and stress just like humans. We must substitute other modes of research. Replacing experiments on animals with alternative techniques such as trials on human tissue and cell cultures, using computer or mathematical models, studying human volunteers and using more focused clinical and epidemiological studies would greatly reduce if not entirely eliminate the stated need to experiment on animals. With all the advances in computer technology that provides us with the ability to splice genes, reconstitute DNA, analyse the human body to the nth degree of minutiae, sophisticated high-fidelity human-patient simulators and so much more, we should be able to switch to a form of computer based experimentation and bypass animal testing altogether. At least the computer model could reciprocate human DNA much closer that any animal alive. Why are the best brains in the world not putting their talents towards developing a system like that? More funding should be earmarked for developing these alternative ways of testing drugs and procedures. After all it is a question of ethics. In treating animals like an inferior species and subjecting them to misery and pain we are only debasing ourselves. Considering we are also good at destroying the only planet that sustains our lives, we are proving ourselves unworthy of our innate intelligence and the unique features that make us human. What can we do? – In addition to supporting animal rights and animal protection groups that are active in trying to prevent or curtail the process of medical research based on animal experimentation, there are other things an individual can do. You can petition R&D labs, and the politicians and academics who support them. You can write letters to your political representatives to urge the need for more funding of alternative research, sign the numerous petitions circulated by animal rights activist associations like PETA, The Animal Defense League, etc. If all of us contribute a drop in the ocean of animal empathy and support these organisations, we will make a big difference. But it is a long and tough road. In today’s politicised climate, Big Pharma still rules and is the kingpin to all this. You can certainly point the finger at them and say as Emile Zola once famously wrote: J’accuse!!

Bali Kite Festival is on now through September; the 15 – 18 August series is international. Why curse those jolly troupes of young men slowly hauling massive kites through the streets of windy season Bali, when you can join them on Padang Galak north of Sanur and enjoy the spectacle!

Festival Tepi Sawah: 6 – 7 July. Sublime reward for a bit of a trek: culture, workshops and talks, all in a gorgeous paddyside location northeast of Ubud in Pejeng. This intimate but very lively and diverse festival is for nature lovers, art & architecture fans, and world music aficionados. festivaltepisawah.com

Sanur Village Festival: 21 – 25 August. Plan now for free morning yoga, nightly stage performances, arts & crafts, jukung competition, food stalls, turtle release and tree planting.

Jembrana’s Makepung buffalo races continue through November. Exciting fortnightly races of beautifully deckedout bovines and their brave owners. Sundays 7:30 am: 15 July Delodberawah village & 29 July Sanghyang Cerik, Tuwed village.

Werdhi Budaya Arts Centre’s park-like grounds on Jalan Nusa Indah, Denpasar. Now on daily, 10-ish am to 10-ish pm: curated performances by troupes from all over Bali (and elsewhere), excellent innovators among them, but totally authentic Indonesian creativity in composition and performance.

Brilliant in multiple disciplines and armed with a strong work ethic, this duo’s performances feature elaborate projected images and dynamic musical story telling. The team (he of Barcelona/she of Java) are to set sail from Rotterdam in pinisi Arka Kinari, part lab for environmental research and community outreach, part dockside performance space (sails will act as screen and backdrop), and full-on seaworthy vessel. Gradually visiting various small and large ports, they’ll drop anchor in Bali mid 2020, stopping long enough to perform several times, for all ages.

GREENSPEAK The Real Boss There’s so much I deeply appreciate about my life in Bali. The people, the culture, the weather, the gardens, the lifestyle … and the fact that I hardly ever have to do housework. I am pathetically grateful for this. I never seemed to get the hang of housework, somehow. I like cooking and don’t mind ironing but everything else baffles and alarms me. So I felt very blessed when Wayan Manis drove into my life on a battered old scooter 18 years ago. I was new to Bali and living in a leaking, scantily furnished, haunted bungalow on the Andong road. I hardly knew anyone in Ubud, spoke very little Indonesian, needed help in the house and had no idea how to go about finding someone. Then Wayan Manis, whom I’d met once and liked, called out of the blue and asked whether I needed a pembantu. At the time it seemed like a miracle. Years later, I discovered that wasn’t a coincidence, she’d heard through the grapevine that my previous pembantu had been let go for stealing.

Someone advised me to have my pembantu keep a household expense book so I could ensure I was not being cheated. After the first two months I asked to look at it and found that I hadn’t been giving her enough housekeeping money; she’d been making up the difference from her own wages and was too shy to ask me for more. We quickly got that straightened out but have kept up the expense book and periodically check it to marvel at how the cost of living has spiraled since 2001. When it was time to move into my newly built house in Ubud I fretted about how to transfer my worldly goods between abodes. Wayan Manis rolled her eyes and sent me out for a few hours to buy things for the new kitchen. On my return I found that the entire move had been accomplished in my absence with not a single item broken or missing.

On her first day of work I was in bed with Bali Belly. I apologised for not being able to give her a briefing. She vanished for half an hour and reappeared with a basket of herbs she’d foraged from the fields and garden. Without fuss she found what she needed in the kitchen and set about making traditional remedies that soon had my tummy back to normal. It was an auspicious beginning. She still makes my jamu.

My domestic incompetence was glaringly obvious to us both and she firmly took up the reins of managing my household and me. Areas of responsibility were clearly defined. I was allowed to do a little light sweeping, cook and work in the garden. I was not allowed to touch the washing machine, the operation of which she kept a closely guarded secret for many years until an illness forced her to reluctantly divulge which buttons to push. Suddenly my life began to go more smoothly. We worked out a division of labour, and hours that suited her other commitments. My attempts to monitor and pay her overtime were brushed aside. There would be ceremonies, she told me, it would all balance out. There were, and it has.

She is confident, competent, has a robust sense of humour and a keen sense of adventure. Once I took her to Bandung for a few days. Her first plane trip, hotel and multi-level shopping mall whetted her appetite for travel. “I could do this for a month,” she told me. Now she talks of visiting family in Sulawesi. She calmly manages emergencies, nurses sick dogs, parrots and chickens, oversees the family bamboo straw business and finds work for her poorer neighbours. So I’m very lucky that she consents to oversee my wellbeing in her spare time. I think she still finds me entertaining as we companionably slice onions together in the kitchen, chase big monitor lizards out of the hen yard or hang out at ceremonies. She’s been my window into the world of Balinese culture for almost two decades, my liaison with the banjar, my bridge to Balinese cuisine and medicinal herbs, my tutor in ceremonial dress and conduct. Life with Wayan Manis has taught me to be flexible, patient and less serious. Working with me she has learned about nutrition, waste management, environmental awareness, the value of having a bank account and many strange tamu ways.

My domestic incompetence was glaringly obvious to us both and she firmly took up the reins of managing my household and me Effortlessly she undertook all the issues over which I had been despairing. Her husband appeared and replaced the cracked roof tiles, refusing payment. She brought me fresh vegetables from her market, paid the bills, found a gardener and created a nourishing pudding of chicken heads, red rice and vegetables for the dogs which we still feed them.

learned that Balinese women are not expected to take it easy at home. So on those days I tuck her up on the day bed with a blanket and a hot drink. The roles are reversed when I am ill.

For years we lived with a well-thumbed Indonesian/English dictionary on the counter. My Indonesian is still far from fluent but we communicate on a more intuitive level these days, often reading each other’s minds. I occurs to me that I’ve probably spent more hours in her company now than anyone else’s. The role of women in Bali has always been demanding and complex. They are responsible for managing the household, marketing, cooking, cleaning, laundry, raising children, nursing the elders, making offerings, observing the busy calendar of prayer and ritual on the household’s behalf, performing their banjar duties and keeping the husband happy. This busy life became even more hectic in the past decade or so as women took on full-time jobs to help meet the skyrocketing cost of living in Bali in addition to their already long list of tasks. Wayan Manis balances all her other work with looking after me. In the early days when she arrived looking exhausted or fighting a cold I’d try to send her home to rest, but soon

In keeping with the recent shift away from manual labour, it is getting harder to find a housekeeper these days. Young women would rather work in a hotel, spa or restaurant. Older women are increasingly needed to stay home and look after grandchildren because everyone else is at a paying job. Those of us who had the incredible luck to find a wonderful woman to look after us awake every day with gratitude. Our housekeepers used to be called pembantu (helper). These days the government suggests that they be addressed as pengurus rumah tangga (household administrator) or assistan rumah tangga (household assistant). I just call mine The Boss. And pray that she never fires me.

“A Touch of Bad Evolution” I have a sneaky suspicion there is a touch of “bad evolution” going on with building design in Bali. I constantly see buildings where design is so preoccupied with appearance that it has forgotten some basic factors of engineering particularly regarding the risk of earthquakes.This design “evolution” is the result of architects who want to design buildings that are not hindered by such boring concerns as structural strength. If you look at older buildings you will find structural columns and beams are visible in the walls and ceilings. These days architects want to design buildings with flush walls and ceilings and to do this they are changing the shape of the columns and beams that they use. In the past a typical main structural column was likely to be 25 cms by 25 cms square. These days such a column is more likely to be a wide but very skinny 15 cms by 50 cms to allow it to be buried in a 15 cm thick wall and hidden from view. However, when these “skinny” columns are used there are a couple of important factors we need to keep in mind. Firstly a square column has equal strength in all directions whereas a wide skinny column is stronger in its wide direction but considerably weaker in its thinner direction, great care must be taken in how such columns are used in buildings. Secondly when a column is only 15 cms thick there is not a lot of margin for error and so it is very important that the actual size of the column, the quality of the concrete and the size and position of the steel within the column are correct (unfortunately this is rarely a realistic expectation in Bali). In short, using wide, skinny columns and beams is OK as long as they are correctly designed and are built to more exacting standards than more conventional designs.

Generally speaking the standard of building in Indonesia is poor, a fact well demonstrated every time there is an earthquake, and so we can start to see that the evolution of building design is heading down a very rocky road. How serious this is we will find out one day when “the big one” hits. For information on earthquake risk in Bali see: https:// www.mrfixitbali.com/natural-disasters/earthquake-risk-inbali-74.html.

So what can you do to protect yourself if you are building ? 1. Check the drawings and that a structural engineer has designed, or at least checked, the structure and has signed off on the drawings thereby accepting responsibility.

Indonesia has a comprehensive set of standards for building design, construction, plumbing and electrical installations, but sadly the average developer and builder have little if any knowledge of these standards. They depend on their technical experts, structural engineers and electrical and plumbing installers, to make sure that Indonesian standards are met. At this point we need to note that architects are not a structural engineer and many do not engage structural engineers to save money.

3. Make sure that during the construction the building is regularly inspected, particularly when the structure is being built, by people who understand about the specifications and placement of steel and about concrete mixes and strengths.

In Bali many houses and villas are being built by architects who are not only designing the buildings but also engaging the contractors to carry out the construction. It is not uncommon to find in such situations that the architect does not visit the site very often leaving the contractor a free reign to cut corners and reduce his costs. Responsible architects will tell you that architects should stay within their area of expertise, they should not be designing structures nor should they be supervising construction. The fact is that architects and builders simply do not have the technical knowledge to make sure a building is designed to be structurally sound and to withstand earthquakes. This is particularly relevant when using these slimmer columns and beams. The lesson is simple, if you want to survive in an earthquake make sure the building you are in is structurally sound. If you are building make sure a structural engineer has designed the structure and inspects during construction, if you intend to buy or rent a property make sure a structural engineer has inspected the building first.

2. Ask questions regarding the foundations and structural design so you can understand where the most important aspects of the building are.

4. If this is all rather daunting for you don’t worry, find an independent expert to represent you. He/she can check all the documents and drawings and check the building during the construction phase. Perhaps we should also remember that the whole notion of evolution is, of course, somewhat inextricably linked with a rather unavoidable reality - that of natural selection. A bit of bad evolution, like a camel without a hump, a lion with no teeth or a real estate agent with a bad stutter, has a way of being wiped out - naturally of course. Unfortunately in this case it is the person living in the building and not the person who built it that gets naturally selected for removal from the gene pool.

Rebirthing the ‘Golden Oldies’ – Repatriation of Lost Balinese Music Part II

Providing professional, caring and efficient service.

Last month I had the opportunity to repatriate some rare court gamelan style recordings in Ketewel Village which were recorded by longtime Bali resident and painter Theo Meier in 1962. Beforehand, I consulted with Putu Surya: the leader of the youth group that had been learning their current repertoire for the past few years and who had recently become a member of the semara pagulingan troupe at our family based centre, Mekar Bhuana. Of the four pieces on the recording, he recognized two (in spite of the playing style changing over the decades), but there were two he had never heard, and he was eager to see if the remaining living elders could identify the lost pieces. So I devised a plan. In 2002 I had repatriated a recording from the early seventies of another lost piece from that village - I put it on a CD and presented it to the local priest who was the keeper of the orchestra which was housed in Payogan Agung Temple. There was a plan to learn the piece but to this day it has never happened - surprisingly, a group in the US beat them to it by learning from that recording a few years ago! I wanted this repatriation to be more public, somewhat ceremonial, witnessed by many - this, I believed would have more effect because the whole community would feel more responsibility for resurrecting their lost tradition.

STARMOVERS is the excellent solution to your relocation

We chose an auspicious day for the public listening and discussion: Saraswati, the day to celebrate knowledge. I brought my laptop and some external speakers, as well as USB stick to present ceremonially to the group so that they could easily disseminate the recording among the musicians. Only one elder was left in the group and he listened attentively, his eyes glazed with joy (or was it the cataract?). Quickly he identified both lost pieces, explaining that the most mysterious one (one that I even as a researcher with 21 years experience couldn’t recognize) started off as one piece, then moved into another and finished off drifting into a third piece (essentially it was a bit of a mess and they should’ve done a retake). However, from, this recording combined with some rudimentary notation he had well kept that the group could reconstruct this and the other lost piece. They went on video thanking us for repatriating the recording and swearing that they would relearn their extinct music. A musical repatriation success story? I am confident it will be - as with everything in Bali, these things take time, but I feel that we are moving into a new era where indigenous cultures are not only reclaiming their traditions, but also relearning them - and vintage recordings are essential to this process. If there is anyone reading this article who knows of vintage Balinese gamelan recordings (both field and commercial) made in Bali prior to the 1980s, contact info@balimusicanddance.com and we’ll help you identify them as well as repatriate them in the village of origin.

Education & Family

EDUCATION MATTERS Greetings and welcome to Education Matters. For many parents the School Holidays can pose a number of scenarios. For some folk, they just seem to drag on endlessly. The children sit around the house bored to tears, while the parents usually the mother, are tired of being the “personal chef”, “entertainer” and in some cases “referee”! In such homes, often the only respite at the end of each evening is to gleefully cross off one more day of torment from the calendar! However, some parent/s view the holidays in a completely different light. These folk see them as precious time to catch up and reconnect with their child/ren due to their busy work schedules. Surely, the irony here (and one that is certainly becoming commonplace) must be, why indeed do parent/s take on such back breaking workloads that inevitably remove them from the very people they love the most. Then due to guilt / remorse / hope, endeavour to make up for this lost time any way they can, usually during their child’s School Holidays? May I suggest a more rational and balanced outlook to School Holidays? Namely, well before they “suddenly arrive at your doorstep” do some homework yourself and devise a creative timetable whereby both the parents and child/ren do in fact enjoy quality time together and also apart. Factor in get together’s for your children with their friends, so you get a break from each other! Here are a few simple and inexpensive suggestions: 1. Sleep overs. (Always a big favourite). 2. Days / afternoons spent at different friend’s homes. Contact the parents of your child’s friends and work out a roster together. The more the merrier to share the load... or should that be love? 3. Visit a gallery. (Bali must have the most art / craft jewellery galleries in Indonesia). 4. Source out artistic folk who offer classes in art / music / sports. Sign up for one yourself with your children. 5. Suggest a family task. For example, start a vegetable patch, paint a room in the family home, redecorate a bedroom (maybe your child’s), restore a piece of

furniture together. Create a family heirloom! 6. Cook together! Share you favourite / only dish with your children. Everyone participates in the preparation, cleaning up and eating of the meal. Create a Family Cookbook! 7. Go on a Fitness Kick together. Could be as simple a getting up early in the morning to go for a walk together or doing some exercises that bring a few smiles. 8. Teach your children something that you are confident in! Such as playing the guitar, speaking another language even demonstrating those long lost mechanical repair skills. Things to avoid on School Holidays: • Technology. Establish phone free, computer free days. Trade technology for conversation. (Who knows, maybe you can keep this one going after the holidays). • Breaking your word. Be very clear about what you say regarding a pledged activity or time together with your children. You must stick to the agreed plan and keep your word!! • Negative mindset and fatigue. Keep healthy sleep patterns and be mindful of alcohol consumption. Your energy is precious to everyone. • Do not complain about how expensive everything is! Now is not the time to dump guilt, rather plan an activity you can happily afford. • Unscheduled “Parent Party Times”. Try to avoid having adult gatherings during the holidays. Invaribly you will lose precious time and energy that should be directed towards your family. Try to remember the holidays are not forever but for just a few weeks. I would encourage parent’s to recall their own memories of School Holidays. In particular, the happy times perhaps when you went on a journey together as a family or with friends. A time that cemented a relationship, one that may still be in place. While group family holidays can be a lot of fun and certainly useful for your children in terms of watching how other families engage with each other, do not abdicate your personal responsibility. Do not drift off with the other adult’s under the pretense your child is fine and having a great time without you. Some of the fondest and unfortunately, challenging childhood memories are

created on “the family holiday”. Your children need you (especially father’s) to do that simple playful activity together that confirms in their young mind they know without doubt, how precious they are to you. It can be a lasting cornerstone in their memory of how they as an adult, define their personal happiness! Finally, be mindful that during this rather extended break from school your child may experience changes in their physical appearance, especially if they are entering puberty. Consequently, when the new school year arrives your child may return as a young lady or man, such changes are immensely significant milestones that will without doubt, require your time and attention. Finally, my homily for this edition of Education Matters is: “While knowledge is power and useful information liberating, it is only through meaningful Education that progress can be obtained and shared in every family and in every society”.

Body & Spirit

Beauty & Health New Aromatherapy Can you imagine diffusing essential oils without fire or some form of heat? Now thanks to modern science there’s a new method that doesn’t use any water with oil floating on top or steam. No more worrying about knocking a ceramic burner over or the water evaporating and burning the oil. The Diffusica system is a room temperature ceramic diffuser. It’s made of highly porous silicon carbide, a very advanced and tough ceramic used in the chemical and transportation industries as a catalytic converter or for air purification purposes. The pores are so small that they’re not visible to the naked eye, giving a smooth surface resembling a volcanic stone but it can absorb half its weight in water. After absorbing the liquid, it redistributes it in its porous structure allowing for a continuous, enhanced evaporation. Five centimeters in diameter and one centimeter thick, this disc is light weight and small enough to be used indoors or outdoors. Despite being ceramic, the disc is very durable. Even dropping it on a hard floor won’t break it. If you should happen to chip it a little, using some sand paper you can smooth the surface. The disc will also last forever. Changing the choice of oil is easy by using heat, such as on top of a toaster or even in the oven to burn away any residue or resin on the disc. This will give you a clean fresh surface to apply a different essential oil fragrance for an alternative purpose.

great deal of experimentation with the oil blends, Mary and Angelo have created a very effective oil blend that really does work in keeping the bothersome mosquitos away. Both are completely natural without DEET. This allows you to spend comfortable time without the use of toxic sprays or lotions. Remember that anything that you put on your skin enters your bloodstream. Other blends include: Sleep Like a Baby helps people with insomnia. Mystical Sex is an effective aphrodisiac for couples. Weight Loss stimulates the metabolic system to aid in losing weight.

The most exclusive diffuser is the brass Regulator box, manufactured by Javanese master founders. It also allows to regulate the scent outflow.

Essential oils have widely varying room temperature evaporation behavior. Some EO components are as volatile as alcohol or water, some are closer to a resin and hardly evaporate at all. The disc can absorb all EOs but some will have a hard time evaporating back, eventually clogging the pores. Volatile EOs are therefore preferred, although regeneration by heating allows changing the use of any oil. Evaporation is very intense just after oil addition, but progressively fades out. Thanks to the sliding gating system, it is possible to throttle down fragrance emission just after an oil addition. An hour or so later, the regulator lid can be rotated to maximum opening, which is equivalent to completely opening the box. Heavy, it is very stable for desktop use, but can still be easily transported.

Diffusica has designed a range of containers for the ceramic disc to accommodate various uses and display environments. The Glass Bell The glass bell designs are ideal for indoor or outdoor use: Living room, office, bedside, terrace. The glass bell - brass base container can be used without risk of breakage under a table, typically when using it with the insect repellant. With its look of an apothecary’s instrument, it’s ideal for an office or bedside diffuser. In both cases diffusion can be interrupted by putting the bell on and can be resumed at any time by opening the diffuser.

When I first saw the Diffusica display at Radiance Bali I was fascinated, especially after Mary told me what they could be used for. It’s hard to imagine life in Bali without mosquitos. I’m lucky in not having very appetizing blood for the little vampires. Sitting next to friends watching TV who complain of being bitten, while I’m left alone. I decided to test out the Diffusica and see if it really does work. First in my TV lounge I asked a couple of mosquito magnet friends to watch a movie and added 4 drops of strong mosquito repellant oil on the disc. Amazing, nobody was bothered during the movie. After putting the disc on the toaster for a few minutes to eliminate the oil I took it to my bedroom night table and added Sleep Like a Baby oil. It helped me to relax and fall asleep and enjoy a peaceful sleep. You can get your own Diffusica at Bali Radiance Essential Oils, next to Bali Buda in Canggu.

Combining the worldwide recognized experience of Mary Muryn and the understanding of the physical requirements for a successful room temperature diffusion, a range of functional fragrances, has been specifically designed to maximize the performance of the system, decreasing oil consumption and sticky residues. This range of functional fragrances, including the insect repellant function, brings another type of comfort into people’s lives with two strengths available: mild, which has a more pleasant fragrance for indoor use or for children and the elderly and strong grade is more aggressive and repels mosquitoes more effectively, especially outdoors. After a

Containers

A choice of containers for the Diffusica allows you to “turn off” the aromatherapy session. By simply closing the lid the process halts. Later when you wish to resume the action open the lid and the action starts again without needing to add more oil to the disc making it very economical to use the precious essential oils. Some models allow more control through a regulator system. You only need 2 to 4 drops to activate the aromatherapy. You can use any essential oil, however some oils contain less resin and diffuse more effectively. Generally this will continue working for 4 to 6 hours.

BOOMER CORNER Sleep

Lately I have been getting seven to eight hours of sleep. It makes such a difference to the whole day and my outlook when I get enough rest. But it hasn’t always been like this. As older adults our sleep patterns often change. We may get sleepy earlier, have less deep sleep, have a hard time going to sleep, or wake up earlier. Older people tend to wake up more often during the night. Of course, it’s different for everyone. Insomnia is a common problem for Boomers. We go to sleep just fine and then wake up way too early, unable to relax back into sleep. Insomnia can be caused by eating rich and heavy snacks just before bed, having an uncomfortable sleeping environment, or being glued to a digital device before we turn the lights off. Other problems such as restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea also rob us of our precious rest hours. Sleep apnea happens when the throat relaxes and the tongue falls back to block the airway or when the brain signals that control breathing are scrambled. While it can happen a few times to several hundred a night, the person with the condition often has no idea they have it. It’s usually a bed partner who notices loud snoring and sudden gasping for air. In a world where lack of sleep is almost worn as an achievement metal, the effects of insufficient sleep are often overlooked. It can lead to depression and anxiety just as these can in turn lead to poor sleep quality and quantity – a catch-22. It can also lead to serious medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. I find it interesting that lack of sleep can affect our eating

patterns. According to Dianne Augelli, M.D., a sleep expert at New York Presbyterian Hospital, our levels of ghrelin, a hormone responsible for letting our brain know we’re hungry, goes up when we’ve had insufficient sleep. What’s worse is that levels of ghrelin’s complementary hormone, leptin—which signals to the brain that you’re full—drops without solid rest. So not only are you having signals sent to your brain to keep on eating, but there are also no signals going to your brain that you’re full. Plus the foods we crave after a sleep deprived night are the unhealthiest – salty, sweet, or fatty foods. You’ve probably noticed that a night of little sleep affects your memory, cognition, and learning. But the good news is, this goes back to normal with a normal night. When we sleep our blood pressure and heart rate drop so our bodies can repair themselves. So what can we do to support ourselves to get a better and longer slumber? Here it is again – the word you don’t want to hear - exercise. It seems the best thing we can do for ourselves is to exercise. Even 30 minutes three or four times a week is enough to sleep longer than couch potatoes. However, it’s best not to exercise too close to bedtime since exercise is stimulating. Next we need to have a comfortable bed and peaceful sleeping space. We aren’t teenagers anymore, able to sleep on anything, anywhere. You don’t want to be tossing and turning because of a lumpy mattress or pillows that aren’t right for you. Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol all contribute to a lousy night’s sleep. Caffeine and nicotine, both stimulants, stay in your body for hours so try to have your last cup in the afternoon and your last puff hours before you go to sleep, or better yet, quit smoking. Alcohol can make us sleepy but it interferes with the very important REM sleep. Leave your devices out of the bedroom and don’t watch TV in bed. Light tells your body to wake up and be alert. If you absolutely must use a device before sleep, turn the screen light down as far as possible. Try to keep the bedroom for

sleep and love-making only. If you are awakened by outside noises, like barking dogs, Bali’s famous roosters, or vehicle noises, try a pair of earplugs. They don’t keep all sound out but they deaden the sound enough to turn it into background noise. I find if I can’t go back to sleep, even when there is no outside noise, the earplugs help me focus on my breathing and that puts me back in slumber. A comfortable sleep mask helps if there is too much light. Naps are fine if you aren’t having sleep problems but they can raise havoc if you are. Go to bed when you are tired at the end of the day and skip the naps until your sleep cycle normalizes. When I have too much going on in my head to go to sleep and stay asleep, I use lavender oil in an aromatherapy diffuser set for two to four hours. This not only helps me visit dreamland sooner but it keeps me there throughout the night. Since we are all different, it’s important to recognize how much sleep we each need and what works for us to get a good night’s sleep and build that into a routine. If you need more help with your sleep there are some good You Tube videos by Dr. Mathew Walker, a sleep expert at UC Berkeley. Mimpi manis!

MONEY MATTERS Why Would Any Expat Decide To Leave Bali? If the same question were posed with reference to Jakarta it would not be too difficult to find plenty of reasons; no doubt the one that immediately comes to mind is the gridlocked and chaotic traffic and associated pollution. While the people are friendly and welcoming, there are other reasons such as growing nationalism (not just here of course) and the threats that undermine the great diversity upon which Indonesia was founded. But as for Jakarta itself, even the government is planning to leave! Relocation of the capital to a new site outside Java is now very much on the cards. Fortunately Bali is not on the short list! The western expat population is a tiny fraction of what it was in the oil and mining boom of the eighties when I first arrived in Jakarta. Nevertheless, some of us remain for work or family reasons or just because it is still our ‘comfort zone’ with a social life that would be lost if we left after such a long time.

Group 2a) would include those who have broken the law, which typically means overstaying visas, working illegally while holding social or business visas or falling foul of the authorities in one way or another. Group 2b) would include those who need to return home for serious medical reasons and / or can no longer afford international medical insurance. Note that the insurance companies will woo you for your business early on but will not welcome you once you reach a certain age. Their way of telling you may wish to take your business elsewhere is to apply a large increase to your annual premium. I said goodbye to them when they bumped up my premium by 37% even though I had never made a single claim! Of course when you consider that heart surgery or a course of cancer treatment can cost them upwards of $100,000 their position is easy to understand. The insurers are operating a business, not a charity.

But Bali is very different from Jakarta While Bali has also changed it still has a lifestyle to be envied by many in the West. That’s why thousands of foreigners and westerners in particular have made it their home, in many cases after a first or subsequent holiday trip. Some have settled and just want a quiet and peaceful life, free from the stresses of the rat race; some have professional jobs, some run successful businesses while others join charity organisations such as the Rotary clubs and make major contributions to the well-being of the community.

If you have planned wisely and built up a nest-egg over the years then you need to address the tax implications of your move. Don’t look for the tax dodges of the past by disseminating your savings around tax havens. Today, information is freely exchanged by tax authorities around the world. All banks and financial institutions are obliged to furnish account information to their respective tax authorities.

On moving back to one’s home country there are probably two outstanding needs: 1. Purchase of a new property and 2. The setting up of a retirement plan that will ideally produce a liveable income for the remainder of your days.

I would go further to say that those who are in the first group are then subdivided into two. We have those who: a) Have positive reasons for leaving and b) Have negative reasons for leaving.

Those in the second group also fall into two main categories: a) Those who are literally forced to leave and b) Those whose circumstances leave them little option but to leave.

The easiest relocations are probably back to one’s old home town or area since some things will still be familiar and you can probably link up with family and old friends. Choosing a totally new location because it looks good in the brochures or on TV or the Internet can be a disaster.

There have been a number of cases in recent years where expats have sold properties in Bali worth quite considerable sums as they bought or built them cheaply decades ago. They needed quite a bit of guidance on how to handle the ‘windfall’. The first bit of advice is not to rush into anything. Get as many facts and as much information as possible about the many options and the pros and cons of each.

I would say those who do leave fall into one of two main groups: 1. Those who decide they want to leave and 2. Those who have little or no choice but to leave

Group 1b) would be those who have grown disillusioned about life in Bali or have found that they no longer need the excitement that lured them to the island when life revolved around surf, sand, late night bars and discos. Or those who cannot live with some of the unwelcome changes such as mass tourism, uncontrolled development and worsening traffic congestion.

Whatever the reason for leaving Bali or any other foreign location everyone has to take stock of their financial position and make fresh plans for their new life ahead. The planning should start well before the actual move takes place, preferably years before.

Again, if you have built up some savings there could be ways to legally reduce future tax liabilities. Brits for example can still place money in an offshore bond and then draw down 5% free of tax for 20 years. A helpful facility if there is other taxable income.

So why would any of them leave?

Group 1a) would consist of professionals, such as senior hotel staff or international teachers who move on as part of their career path or those who always planned to return to their home countries and / or families on retirement after a satisfying and productive working life in Bali.

But all those who leave have something in common

Then we have a large number of pensioners who find it increasingly difficult to live on a rapidly diminishing income. British retirees in Bali for example had their state pensions frozen from the day they left the UK. A local group in Bali continues to support the fight to redress this anomaly. Some actually cannot leave because they are too frail or have local families that could not join them. While those who can return to their home countries usually have a state safety net that will meet their minimum needs, those who cannot leave have to accept the reality and count their few blessings such as the ability to eat cheaply and not having to pay heating bills in the winter!

In both cases there are many options and combinations to consider. If these can be addressed well in advance of a move so much the better. Otherwise the best advice is to commit to nothing until you have had ample time to ensure the decisions are wise ones. And now, the ‘twist in the tale’ Another good reason not to rush into any quick decisions is that you may find that the outside world is not how you imagined it or that it has changed so much that you wish you had never left Bali. And so, as I have seen in several cases, the reasons to come back are stronger than were the reasons for leaving!

Local News Bali ban on plastic bags survives court challenge Bali’s proposed island-wide ban on plastic bags and straws will go ahead after an Indonesian court rejected a challenge by the country’s plastics recycling industry. The Indonesian Plastic Recyclers Association lodged a Supreme Court bid last month to block the ban, which will come into force next month, arguing it was discriminatory and violated human rights. Lawyers for ADUPI had argued the ban would hurt its members - plastic bag manufacturers and recyclers - and Balinese scavengers who survive on what they make from collecting the waste. Bali Governor Wayan Koster said ADUPI’s bid to block the ban had failed but said the court had not yet published its reasons. “We are already implementing the regulation now. The next step is to work on monitoring its implementation,” Mr Koster told The Australian. The decision comes amid an intensifying focus across Southeast Asia on plastic waste, and the thousands of tonnes shipped legally and illegally from industrialised nations since China closed its doors to the waste trade last year. Indonesia, Malaysia and The Philippines have vowed in recent weeks to return cargo containers of foreign plastic household waste - including those exported from Australia - they say were smuggled into their countries mislabelled as recyclable material. The Bali government announced last December its intention to enforce an island-wide ban on single-use plastic bags, straws and Styrofoam to tackle an issue threatening not only the island’s critical tourist industry but also public health. ADUPI’s bid to block that ban was one of seven petitions planned by the Indonesian plastics industry, including four in Kalimantan, home to some of the world’s most diverse rainforests and several critically endangered species. ADUPI director Christine Halim said she had not yet been formally advised the petition had failed but the object of the challenge had been to highlight the failure of governments’ to management waste well. “The most important thing was not to win or lose but to convince the government that (plastic bag) bans are not the solution,” she said. “The solution is to repair our waste management practices and educate the population about how to dispose of waste, especially plastic waste. We have talked so many times to government but they don’t listen to ideas on how better to collect waste.” Indonesia is the world’s second-largest contributor of plastic pollutants in the oceans after China, and four of its rivers rank among the world’s 20 most polluted. Yet local recyclers say they are forced to import foreign plastic waste because there is no reliable domestic supply of recyclable plastics. Just 9 per cent of all plastics in Indonesia are recycled. [The Australian June 15, 2019] Bali pledges to reduce ocean plastic gains traction A Norway-backed organisation hopes its efforts to end plastic pollution in Bali will gain impetus after a study revealed that more than half of the rubbish produced on the Indonesian island is burned or dumped. Only 48 per cent of waste generated in Bali is managed responsibly either through recycling or landfill, according to a five-month research project by The Bali Partnership. The island’s waste managements sector has struggled to keep pace with rapid development and tourism, the organisation said. Bali attracts some 6.5 million international tourists each year and rubbish regularly washes up onto its once-pristine beaches. Tourists are significant contributors to the problem, generating 3.5 times more waste per day than Bali residents, according to the research. Supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the new organisation - which unites Indonesia’s central and local governments, academics, waste experts and businesses - supports a national commitment to reduce ocean plastics by 70 per cent by 2025. Ida Bagus Mandhara Brasika of the Bali Governor’s Waste Management Task Force said he is optimistic the Bali Partnership can help reduce Bali’s waste problem and spur action on plastics in oceans internationally. “The island of Bali is small but its significance is big. What happens in Bali will always be noticed by the world. In Bali we are now at the right moment to stop our ocean leakage. We start from Bali and the impact will be global.” Of the 1.6 million tonnes of waste produced by residents, tourists and businesses each year in Bali, 303,000 tonnes is plastic, the research found. Some 33,000 tonnes of plastic leak into rivers and the ocean and just seven per cent of Bali’s waste is collected for recycling. Tourists generate 3.5 times as much rubbish as Bali residents, the research found. The Bali Project hopes the government will use the research’s findings to improve waste management and deal with plastics in the ocean. “Now we have comprehensive data to support the governments’ commitment to reduce plastics by 2025,” Gede Hendrawan, a professor at Bali’s Udayana University who led the research, told Reuters. Two years ago, the government pledged up to US$1 billion (NZ$1.5 billion) to reduce ocean waste by 70 per cent by 2025. The Association of South East Asian Nations is expected to adopt a Bangkok Declaration on Combating Marine Debris at a summit in Thailand, starting on June 27. [www.stuff.co June 24,2019]

28 Bali leads the way and officially bans single-use plastic bags, straws and polystyrene across the island On January 1, 2019, Rai Mantra, the Mayor of Denpasar announced Bali’s capital would ban single-use plastic bags in supermarkets, convenience stores and shopping centres. Now, six-months later, the ban has been officially extended across the island under something called Pergub Bali No. 97/2018 to include everyone from modern retailers to traditional markets in cities, towns and villages. Bye Bye Plastic Bags According to a recent article published by Gapura Bali, much of the credit for Bali’s war against single-use plastics “has to go to Melati and Isabel Wijsen, the sisters responsible for the Bye-Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB) campaign in Bali” and their team of dedicated souls who have been on the front-line for a plastic free Bali for over five years, but the movement is global in scale.

Renaissance Bali Uluwatu, The Stones Legian and Padma Hotels who have been implementing environmentally friendly and sustainable initiatives and they welcome the latest island-wide ban. Can Bali be a model for the world? These and other properties have been conducting regular cleanup campaigns bringing “tourists, volunteer groups, hotels and local authorities,” together say Singapore’s The Straits Times, with the intention to create a model the rest of the world will follow. According to The Seminyak Times “more than 400-community, private-sector, government and cultural and religious organizations are active in cleanups, education, waste collection and recycling.”

The Seminyak Times, reporting on data released by System IQ, claim the Bali Partnership, in collaboration with Governor Koster’s Waste Management Task Force, the provincial Environmental Agency (DLH) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been working “on a comprehensive plan to end plastic pollution from the island” in support of “Indonesia’s National Action Plan on Marine Plastic Debris, a commitment to reduce ocean plastics by 70-percent by 2025.” Efficiently managing waste According to their report “just over 48-percent of waste generated in Bali is managed responsibly, either through recycling or landfill, while the rest is burned or pollutes land, The Straits Times goes on to quote Ida Bagus Mandhara waterways and the ocean. As a result, 33,000-tons of Bali’s Brasika from the Bali Governor’s Waste Management Task Force plastic waste ends up in the ocean each year.” as saying “what happens in Bali will always be noticed by the world.

Aussie mum let son get ‘tattoo’ that left him with CHEMICAL BURNS An outraged mother who let her five-year-old son get a temporary tattoo in Bali has issued a warning to other parents after the ink left him with a chemical burn. Louise Byrne said she was over the moon after she and her husband Jesse touched down in Bali, Indonesia, on May 27 with their three kids Ella, seven, Logan, five, and Heidi, one. The 37-year-old stay at home mum from Perth said it was her family’s first time visiting the popular holiday destination and so she and her husband were not sure what to expect. . ‘We’ve never been to Bali before, so we decided to go with some friends on a week-long holiday,’ Louise said. On the third day of their trip, the couple’s son Logan was approached by a local Balinese beach vendor who offered to give the child a temporary ‘henna’ tattoo for five Australian dollars. After seeing other tourists get similar tattoos done, Louise said she did not think much of it. ‘He was really happy with it and it was all fine. After we flew home, the tattoo faded and that’s when the horrible reaction came out.’ ‘Logan woke up and said his arm was sore, and it was really itchy hot, burning. I couldn’t believe what had happened.’ Distraught mum Louise took her son to

the doctor who said Logan was suffering a chemical burn from the dye and was prescribed cortisone cream to help the dermatitis. But Louise said she is worried the burn might never heal and that Logan could be left with permanent scarring. Now the mum is sharing her story to warn other parents about the potential dangers of getting temporary tattoos while on holiday. ‘I’ve heard they can go away after a few years but sometimes they’ll scar forever. Only time will tell, but hopefully it will heal up completely.’ The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade advises travellers to avoid temporary black henna tattoos while overseas, stating that they ‘often contain a dye which can cause serious skin reactions’. Dr Adrian Lim, a fellow at the Australasian College of Dermatologists, said: ‘You can get an allergic reaction to henna tattoos especially when they use the black dye. ‘It is typically the same one that’s used in hair dye. The culprit is the para-phenylenediamine or PPD. Some people can get quite a strong allergic reaction to this.’ ‘It can take 7-10 days for a reaction to occur. The reactions can be intense. In extreme cases, people can run into problems with scarring.’ [dailymail.co.uk June 19, 2019]

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Friends and Exiles

By Des Alwi

The boy paused in front of the Japanese military camp where a former Dutch controleur (administrator) from the Aru Islands was tied up to a palm tree facing the street. Accused of killing 14 Indonesians, a board nailed to a bamboo pole bore the message in Indonesian commanding all passerby’s to slap the tall man in the face. When the boy walked on, the Japanese marine guarding the prisoner ordered him to stop and then violently slapped him, yelling at him in Japanese, “Stupid boy! Why didn’t you slap him?” This is just one of the vivid scenes depicted in Friends and Exiles, an intriguing memoir of that boy who became known as the “King of Banda,” a sobriquet Des Alwi Abubakar (1927-2010) earned because of his high-born pedigree, his deep involvement in the modern development, preservation efforts and tourist promotion work he did for the benefit of the small and remote island group. Des Alwi’s family was impoverished by the Great Depression, which hit the Banda Islands, among the richest of the Dutch possessions, hard. His grandfather, Said Tjong Baadilla, the “Pearl King” of the Indies, was declared bankrupt in 1933 and died soon thereafter. Des Alwi tells of his carefree childhood during colonial times. Roaming barefoot around the small port, he recounts many delightful reminisces of falling warok flowers at noontime, climbing fruiting jambu and mango trees, schoolboy pranks and adventures with boy peddlers, early tourists disembarking from Dutch steamers, diving for coins in the harbor, orambai and kolee-kolee sailing races, seashells as large as bathtubs and his menagerie of birds, deer and other pets in his backyard. Emerging from a swim in the harbor one day, two Indonesians asked the boy for directions to their accommodations. The men turned out to be Sutan Sjahrir, later to become Indonesia’s first prime minister (1945-47) and Mohammed Hatta, the vice-president of Indonesia under Sukarno. Remote locations like the Banda Islands were used by the colonial regime as a place of exile for Indonesians who were known for their anti-Dutch political activities.

The two soon became important and beloved members of the B a n d a n e s e c o m m u n i t y. T h e exiles brought with them a large collection of books and a passion for teaching, setting up a free afternoon school for the local children on the back verandah. Des Alwi soon befriended Sjahrir and Hatta, took up residence in their home and then was adopted by the two lonely bachelors. Calling Hatta “Uncle Eyeglasses” (Om Kacamata) and Sjahrir “Om Rir”, Des’ portrayals of the two intellectual’s daily routines and schedules add a dimension to what we already know about these two historic figures. The contrast between them was stark. Whereas Sjahrir was playful, principled, complex, outgoing and loved to joke around, Hatta was more serious, stern, reserved, responsible and too clever. Where else would we ever learn that Sjahrir could make a spinning top walk up his arm to the delight of children? With the Japanese invasion of the Indies in 1942, the Bandas were suddenly brought closer to the outside world, the lives of the Bandanese take a dramatic turn and Des’s story picks up pace as he enters the world of men. He describes what it was like living under Japanese occupation when Banda becomes a militarized Japanese naval headquarters. Hitching rides on passenger freighters from Banda to Ambon and onward to Java, Des eventually takes up residence with Uncle Rir in Jakarta who pays for his enrollment in the capital’s best

technical school to study electricity and radio engineering. With his radio background, he helped Uncle Rir set up an illegal radio so that they could listen to the BBC, Radio Australia and other foreign broadcasts to follow progress of the war. Des Alwi was eyewitness to pivotal historic events. He seemed to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. He met Sukarno, the future president of the republic, and heard him speak several times. He started a business with the great nationalist poet Chairil Anwar, as well as many other prominent activists and future statesmen in Indonesia’s independence movement – Kiai Haji Mansur, Mohammed Yamin, Dewantoro, Dr. Tjipto Mangunkusumo – names you can read on street signs all over Indonesia today. The editor has added short biographies in the footnotes. A serviceable index/glossary makes it easy to find more specific information. The author’s insights into Hatta and Sjahrir’ personalities shed new light on their later careers and political activities. Friends and Exiles also contributes to the understanding of the rigid caste system and interethnic relations during the colonial period as observed from the seldom-told perspective of an astute young man who grew up on an isolated outer island group. This rare memoir makes for instructive reading about an important time in Indonesian history in which the writer often found himself in the middle of the action. Friends and Exiles: A Memoir of the Nutmeg Isles and the Indonesian Nationalist Movement by Des Alwi, Cornell University Press 2008, ISBN 978-0-87727-774.3, 171 pages, paperback, black & white illus., index/glossary, dimensions 17.8 cm x 25.5 cm.
