Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review Dining in the Garden! Famous is indeed an almost arrogant name for a restaurant. This one hopes to become one and it is well on the way to doing just that. It serves Mediterranean cuisine, mainly Italian with a little bit of French. The pervious operators at this site [Urbana] did not succeed but the new French ones seem to be well on track to do so.

Salads can be goat Cheese, Shrimp, quid or Caesar. The classic French Nicoise is also available as is a very Italian Tomato & Mozarella. Pizzas are for any time eating, as a meal or shared for a snack. Famous offers two different styles, the usual with a base of tomato paste or something different, a cream base. Amongst the mostly standard tomato based pizzas was their special, Duck Pizza. Now the Ubud area is quite famous for Duck dishes, in particular Crispy Duck, which you either love or hate [I used to like it until I broke a tooth on a serve one day, now I avoid it]. The Duck Pizza at Famous was good, a nice crisp base, which is the way I prefer my pizzas, with quite a generous serve of duck flesh on top. The duck was a little on the fatty side, maybe minced duck scattered across the pizza may have been a better option.

It is a very attractive site, large and spacious, with a very pleasant large garden area at the rear with more seating, already the most popular area. Simple but interesting food, pleasant young staff who actually seem to care and very budget prices, all go to ensure almost certain success. The Small Bites are best suited to those who are just in for a drink [Edamame, Olives, mini Spring Rolls and a bowl of French Fries or Chips with a dip of guacamole]. Brunch time and there are Ham & Cheese or Mushroom Omelettes. The appetizers are varied. Start with a Spanish style Gazpacho, often the perfect starter on a hot Bali day, an icy cold soup with a bit of taste. The Bruschettas can be Black [olive tapenade] or Pomodoro [tomato and garlic], Proscuitto can be basic [bread and tomato/garlic tapenade] or the original Italian way, draped over melon. There is also a Beef Carpaccio, Tuna Tataki or an Italian Antipasto Plate.

The cream-based pizzas also include many standard combinations plus an interesting Goat Cheese and Honey, very tasty. Most of the pizzas are offered in either small or large sizes, so ordering a few different ones is easy. A full range of pasta dishes are also available.

Local News Bali’s Mount Agung erupts again and cue the flight cancellations and delays Mount Agung is at it again, with the volcano’s latest eruption causing thick ash to spread across Indonesia, and forcing airlines to cancel and delay flights in and out of Bali. According to the Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management, the latest eruption on Friday night had a maximum amplitude of 30 mm and duration of about four minutes 30 seconds. The eruption was accompanied by a loud roar that was heard at the observation post, along with flying stones and lava as far as three kilometres in all directions.

8 Bali’s Ngurah Rai among most on-time airports in Southeast Asia I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport was one of the most on-time airports in Southeast Asia for the month of April, according to United Kingdom-based air travel intelligence company OAG Aviation. The only commercial airport in Bali placed sixth on OAG’s top 10 list with a 76.5 percent on-timeperformance (OTP), leaving behind other well-known airports in Southeast Asia, such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia and Don Mueang International Airport in Thailand. Other than Ngurah Rai, two other airports operated by state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I (AP I) were also included in the list, namely Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi.

the achievement, namely airlines, ground-handling services and state-owned air navigation firm AirNav Indonesia. In its report, OAG also named three domestic airlines as the most on-time domestic flights, namely AirAsia, Garuda Indonesia and Citilink. Meanwhile, the most on-time international flights are Korean Air, Cathay Dragon and Royal Brunei Airlines. [Thejakartapost.com May, 25, 2019]

Ngurah Rai’s general manager, Haruman Sulaksono, warmly welcomed the achievement. “We are thankful that our attempt to provide the best service for our passengers has received such recognition and acknowledges us as one of the best on-time airports in Southeast Asia. It means that our on-time performance is good enough,” he said on Wednesday. Haruman expressed his appreciation to all airport stakeholders that contributed to

Indonesia to execute French drug trafficker

A number of flights to and from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport were cancelled and delayed as a result, with Jetstar and Virgin Australia among the affected airlines. Travel Weekly understands two Jetstar flights which were on the way to Bali from Melbourne and Cairns had to return and were subsequent cancellations. The airline also suffered additional cancellations for a Melbourne flight and Darwin flight to Bali. Furthermore, a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Bali was diverted to Darwin before continuing to its final destination, while three of the airline’s flights to/from Bali were delayed. A Virgin spokesperson told Travel Weekly that four of its flights were delayed out of Denpasar, but there was no impact on the airline’s operations in Australia over the weekend. The status of Mount Agung remains alert level three, with the Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management warning locals, climbers and tourists against carrying out activities within a radius of four kilometres from the peak. It was only last month that Mount Agung caused a similar amount of chaos for airlines, and the latest eruption is the third one recorded this month alone, according to the disaster management board. [Travelweekly.com.au May 27, 2019] Indonesia government lifts temporary ban on social media features The Indonesian government has ceased the temporary ban on social media which was first put in place to stop fake news and hoaxes from circulating post elections, according to news on CNA. Last week, the government put restrictions in place to stop users from uploading videos and photos on social platforms to tackle unrest caused by post-election count. In a report by Reuters, chief security minister Wiranto said it is an effort to “avoid provocations [and] the spread of fake news through the community”.

The move came after riots ensued post the election count and caused deaths. The Indonesian government imposed restrictions on social platforms such as Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to stop rallies for violent protests as well as spread of hoaxes. Speaking to various media, communications minister Rudiantara had then said the move will help to slow visual content that could inflame emotions. It will be temporary. Residents in Jakarta, Central Java and Bali appear to be impacted, and have taken to social media with hashtags such as #FacebookDown and #WhatsappDown. Indonesia is said by the news outlet to be Facebook’s third largest market globally with 130 million accounts. In a statement to Marketing Interactive, a Facebook spokeswoman said that it is aware of the ongoing security situation in Jakarta and have been responsive to the government of Indonesia to the best of its ability. “We are committed to maintaining all of our services for people who rely on them to communicate with their loved ones and access vital information,” she added. Meanwhile, the spokesperson said Facebook said it has taken a number of steps since the protests started to help keep its community safe, including removal of content from Facebook and Instagram that violates its policies. It is also in close contact with the government, law enforcement, its third-party fact-checking partners and other trusted partners on the ground in Indonesia to help it identify potential misinformation and other violating content. Facebook currently has policies against hate speech, extremist content, incitement to violence, and misinformation that could lead to imminent offline harm. [ Marketing-interactive.com May 25, 2019]

An Indonesian court in West Nusa Tenggara province on Monday sentenced a Frenchman to death for smuggling a huge amount of drug into the country. Dorfin was arrested carrying a suitcase filled with about 3kg of drugs, including ecstasy and amphetamines, after flying into the airport from Singapore. Indonesia has not executed anyone since 2016, but a number of foreigners are still on death row including Frenchman Serge Atlaoui and Lindsay Sandiford, a cocaine-smuggling British grandmother, who have been on death row since 2007 and 2013 respectively.

After the sentencing, he said little as he walked past reporters to a holding cell. The lawyer Deny Only Indra spoke of a “shocking ruling”. “He didn’t expect this at all because prosecutors only asked for 20 years”. The Bali Nine gang’s only female member was released from jail previous year, while some others remain in prison. Last year, eight Taiwanese drug smugglers were sentenced to death by an Indonesian court after being caught with around a tonne of crystal methamphetamine. [mjportal. com May 23, 2019]

He had arrived from Singapore with, according to the authorities, almost four kilograms of cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines hidden in a double-bottomed suitcase. A female police officer was arrested for allegedly helping Dorfin escape from jail in exchange for money. He was recaptured near a forested mountain on Lombok island, next to Bali, after spending 10 days on the run. He plans to appeal against the sentence, his lawyer said. They said that they were shocked by the verdict after the prosecution had recommended a prison sentence of 20 years. The judges found Dorfin guilty of violating Article 113 on drug smuggling in the 2009 law on drugs Dorfin was arrested by customs officers on September 21 a year ago at Lombok International Airport in Mataram, where he had just landed from Changi Airport in Singapore.

Indonesian election exposes divide between Muslims, non-Muslims – Analysis Indonesia’s 2019 presidential election, whose official results on Tuesday sealed a second term for the incumbent, exposed social and religious divides in Southeast Asia’s largest country that reflect its growing pains as a maturing democracy, analysts told BenarNews. The Election Commission released its official tally showing that President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo was reelected with 55.5 percent of the vote against 44.5 percent for his rival, retired Gen. Prabowo Subianto, in the April 17 election. “The election exposed divides in Indonesian society, not only between Muslims and non-Muslims, but also between Muslims who are tolerant and rooted in local values such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and those who follow more Middle Eastern-oriented clerics,” said Achmad Sukarsono, a senior analyst at Control Risks, a Singapore-based consultancy. “Basically it’s 50-50 and non-Muslims tipped the balance in favor of Jokowi,” he added. Jokowi won in Central and East Java, the stronghold for NU, the country’s largest Muslim organization to which his running mate belongs. The incumbent also won in provinces where non-Muslims are the majority, such as mainly Hindu Bali and predominantly Christian East Nusa Tenggara. Jokowi picked as his running mate Ma’ruf Amin, a cleric known for his conservative views on issues such as gay and minority rights, to fend off accusations from hardline Islamic groups that he was not sufficiently Muslim, but the move failed to curb the polarization, according to analysts. “Ma’ruf only succeeded in solidifying support within NU for Jokowi,” said Wasisto Raharjo Jati, a political researcher with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences. Challenger Prabowo and his running mate, wealthy businessman Sandiaga Uno, dominated in West Java - the country’s most populous province – most of Sumatra island as well as in the Aceh region, where Islamic law is enforced. Jayadi Hanan, an analyst at Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting, said strong polarization meant that most voters had made up their minds before the election. “Some voters were determined to vote for Prabowo, even though they saw that Jokowi’s performance was good enough,” he said. Minority outreach As he prepares to take office in October for a final five-year term, Jokowi has his work cut out for him, Achmad said, pointing to how the president must address grievances and demands of the Muslim majority. “It’s hard for Jokowi to defend the rights of minorities when the majority feel increasingly insecure,” he said, adding that the schism was part of the growing pains of “a maturing democracy.” Wasisto questioned Jokowi’s efforts toward minorities in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, which has been a democracy for only 21 years. “Jokowi has enjoyed support for populist programs that affect ordinary people, but his commitment to resolving human rights issue leaves much to be desired,” Wasisto said.

The president has been praised for his drive to revamp the country’s crumbling infrastructure by building roads, ports, power plants and dams during his first five-year term. But he has also been criticized for his record on human rights, law enforcement and the fight against corruption, despite a campaign promise to address cases of past rights violations, analysts said. Jokowi’s first term saw the jailing of environmental activists and members of ethnic and religious minorities, including an ethnic Chinese Buddhist woman who was sentenced to 18 months in prison last year for blasphemy after complaining about noise from a local mosque. In a high-profile case, then-Jakarta Gov. Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian of Chinese descent, was sentenced in 2017 to two years in prison over allegations that he had insulted the Quran in off-the-cuff remarks. Ahok, who was the deputy to Jokowi when Jokowi served as governor of Jakarta before first running for president in 2014, was released from prison in January. The events leading to Ahok’s jailing raised concerns about growing intolerance where anti-Chinese sentiment remains high despite the end of official discrimination against the minority group after the downfall of strongman Suharto in 1998.

Meanwhile, opposition figures have accused Jokowi of politicizing law enforcement to muzzle dissent. “It is likely that the human rights situation will continue to slowly deteriorate, as Jokowi has leaned more and more on the police and prosecutors to shut down political opponents who he cannot win over to his agenda or ply with patronage to support it,” said Aaron Connelly, a research fellow in Southeast Asian politics at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). While Jokowi has talked about focusing on people during his second term, a move away from infrastructure seems unlikely, Connelly said. The president has said that he would use his second term to go all out to make Indonesia the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2045. “Without infrastructure, don’t dream about being the fifth- or the fourth-largest economy in the world,” Jokowi said.

MONEY MATTERS Agung Eruption - A Reminder About Eggs and Baskets Like many do in Bali and even far afield I frequently glance at one of the YouTube offerings that provide live shots of Gunung Agung. On the evening of Friday 24 May my timing was spot on as I caught a brief eruption which was highly visible thanks to clear skies. There was also a screenshot of the ash cloud that soon passed over Denpasar, including Sanur and Kuta and of course the airport, causing immediate disruption of flights.

On the other hand, there will be those living in properties for which they borrowed money and now have difficulty in repaying due to changed circumstances. Some may need to move for a variety of other reasons but cannot because they are unable to sell their property. Those who have bought ‘buy-to-let’ investment properties may have problems finding tenants or may have tenants that they wish they didn’t have.

Fortunately the eruption was short-lived but it reminded me of the first and larger eruption of the present series in September 2017. That one resulted in several days’ disruption of flights and publicity that adversely affected tourism for several months. Happily the vast majority of businesses eventually recovered in full but how many are ready for another and potentially larger disaster, natural or man-made? Fingers crossed it may never happen. But if it did, to what extent would it affect your livelihood? If the answer is massively then you should be thinking about diversifying or allocating spare cash as best you can and while you can into other assets, if only a large cash reserve for emergencies. And of course make sure you have insurance in place to cover potential risks.

metal was rising rapidly. I showed him a historical price chart and how after reaching a peak it often falls as it did in 1980 from around $800 to as low as $260 an ounce and did not reach its 1980 level again for a quarter of a century. He wisely agreed that 25 years to wait for a recovery was a long time so settled for a smaller allocation. Gold came close to $2,000 an ounce in 2011 but soon fell sharply again. Today at the time of writing it stands at $1,285 an ounce. It still remains a good hedge against major political or economic disruptions and merits a small (say 5%) allocation, purely as insurance, within a portfolio. Stock markets, like property, are a good investment provided you stick with them for the long term. But they should be diverse, and not concentrated into just a few stocks or asset classes. You may make more money if you pick a single winner but can lose everything if the sole company you have invested in goes to the wall. So the best investment of all is.... tulips??

Businesses don’t need disasters to make them fail They say why work for someone else when you can make more money working for yourself? It’s true that few will make a fortune in regular employment and to really hit the jackpot you must work for yourself. Bill Gates, the late Steve Jobs and many others would agree. But millions of other entrepreneurs have not found it so easy and have gone to the wall despite hard work and a successful product. More often than not failure can result from the rapidly changing needs and preferences of consumers, not to mention ‘disruptive technology’ which is constantly changing and even destroying the shape of the high street. Companies like Amazon are putting thousands of stores out of business all over the world. Smart phones have made internet cafes and photo-developing shops totally unnecessary. The list is endless. But the advice is the same; don’t put all your money into a business that could be outdated in a couple of years. Property – the most desirable yet most worrying asset Not owning a property is many people’s greatest regret, especially during periods when property prices rise to dizzying heights. Yet many property owners would desperately like to free themselves from the burden. For most people not owning a property means being condemned to paying rent for the rest of their days. Savvy landlords will have borrowed money to buy the property and you, the renter, are effectively paying off the loan so you are paying for an asset that the landlord will one day own for himself.

If all the above see themselves as losers, who are the winners? In the long term the vast majority of property owners are winners. They will have paid off their loans and seen a significant rise in the value of their properties. But to get to that far point requires a lot of prudence in the earlier years. While it may be tempting to commit everything and borrow heavily to acquire a dream house it can end up in tears if a loss of job or serious illness affects the ability to pay off the debt. Far better to start off modestly and gradually move up the chain as cash grows and incomes rise. Financial investments – fortunes to be made? Why lock up your money in property when you can invest in financial instruments that you can quickly cash in? Why not throw everything you have into the latest flavour of the day, cryptocurrencies? Some people have made gains of several hundred percent in a matter of weeks. But those are the cases you hear about. You don’t hear very much from the thousands who have lost small fortunes by jumping on the bandwagon at the wrong time. Even a long-established asset like gold can be a problem if you commit too much to it. I recall some time ago a client pressing me to switch all his investments into a physical gold fund when the price of the

Answer: There is no best investment overall! In any given year there will indeed be one, but for any asset class to be top of the list even two years in a row is extremely rare. So if you were tempted to sell up all your possessions and place the proceeds into any particular year’s top-performing asset which might be gold, the latest high-flying technology share, Bitcoin, properties in Bali or even tulip bulbs, be well prepared to see a reversal of fortunes the following year. But if your eggs are in several baskets you will surely sleep more soundly. I mentioned tulip bulbs because they are considered to have been the first known example of a financial crash. Why on earth tulip bulbs? Because tulips had become very popular in paintings and festivals in Holland in the mid-seventeenth century, so much so that they created an economic bubble, known as “Tulip-Mania”. In 1636 as people feverishly bought up bulbs they became so expensive that they were used as money until the market in them crashed the following year. Keep this in mind next time you see an investment that is doing so well that you want to plunge your life savings into it. And finally if you want to (and were allowed to) build a luxury villa or restaurant on the slopes of Agung, make sure it represents no more than 1% of your assets. And that you have a good escape route.

When will we get awesome theatre in Bali? Those of you who saw the play ‘ORPHEUS’ when it toured Bali last month witnessed a rare piece of quality theatre seldom seen in Bali. Those of you who missed it, alas, passed up on a very special performance. But don’t kick yourselves too hard because you are in for a redemptive treat. ORPHEUS was such a success that the producer and the theatre companies involved have been discussing the possibility of returning to Bali again next year with some more shows. ORPHEUS played to very appreciative audiences in several locations around the island last April. It was an accomplished two-person act, an immersive piece of quality theatre, very innovative and interactive, performed in a traverse style with actor Alex Wright narrating the story with punching, vibrant and intense text and singersongwriter Phil Grainger reverberating the story of Orpheus with a kaleidoscope of tunes, some haunting and soulful, some catchy, hip and upbeat with a bit of rap thrown in for good measure. It was a 3-way interactive configuration between the performers and the audience, abetted by a conscious mise-en-scène that put the audience smack dap in the middle of the performance. Alex and Phil conjured up the perfect atmosphere with a casual pre-performance chat, drawing the anticipative audience innocuously into the act. The interaction between players and audience and the audience amongst themselves set the proverbial stage for what was to come. As the story unfolded Phil Grainger, an unlikely Orpheus dressed as an Aladdin-type troubadour, invited the onlookers to sing along with some well-known tunes like ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ and ‘Dancing in the Dark’ interspersed with Phil’s own compositions. The underlying theme of Orpheus’ longing and loneliness was most memorably rendered by the lyrics of ‘Dancing in the Dark’ and reflected in the haunting lyrics ‘Colour me in...so I’m not just black and white’. It takes a mighty presence to carry off a play with just 2 actors, sans decor and 2 simple props: a book and a guitar. The book telling the story, the guitar rebounding the lyre music of the classical Orpheus who is searching for his beloved in the Underworld. You could call it a fringe event. Though the story is a modern adaptation of an ancient Greek myth, it is not a piece of traditional theatre. The cast and producing company hail from Scotland. They are professional theatre people who do things just a bit differently. Unlike the other entertainment media like cinema, music, cabaret and the usual traditional theatre, theirs is an alternative, live performing theatre which dispels with the barrier between cast and onlookers. It’s a medium that connects the performers and the audience - and the audience amongst themselves - in a way that makes the spectators feel and think instead of leaving them passive onlookers. The interactive mode draws you in and you almost feel like a participant in the story. The play has been touring since 2016. It was a best seller in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has been performed in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zeeland, gathering lots of awards in its wake.

Marnie Silver, a graduate of the University of the Highlands and Islands in Inverness, and the play’s producer in Bali, recounts how she saw Orpheus in her first days at drama school in 2016 - just weeks after the show had been written - and felt its incredible pull. By complete chance she saw it again at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2018 and fell under its spell once again. She passionately connected with the performers after the show and when Phil Grainger later told her that ORPHEUS was going to tour in Australia and New Zealand in the first quarter of 2019, she saw the opportunity as totally divine and jumped in with both feet. Marnie created a producing company called ‘They Sent Me To You’ and began the work to bring the act to Bali where she has been an expat resident for the last 10 years. ‘After all’, Marnie said, ‘a play about ancient gods, performed on the island of the gods seemed like it really was meant to be’. Her goal, in first instance, was to share this awesome performance with as many people as possible. She wanted to see others have the profound experience she had when she first saw it. In the process of producing Orpheus on Bali, another goal emerged. That of bringing more performing acts from Scotland to Bali and perhaps to export Balinese performances to Scotland. Her vision is to create a crossover exchange between two vastly different cultures and break down barriers between them. The name of her producing company ‘They Sent Me To You’ seems a good fitting name for such an operation.

Finding venues is not a problem. The featured venues on the Orpheus tour, Deus Ex Machina in Canggu, Power of Now Oasis in Sanur, Paradiso in Ubud, Joshua District in Kedunggu and Drifter Surf Shop in Uluwatu were very keen to host something different to the usual offerings of Bali nightlife and were firmly on board with transforming their spaces for the night to make everyone have a real theatre experience. Marnie said that she would be delighted to work with all of these venues again and is on the search for other places that have a special magic about them. Bali already boasts professional studios capable of hosting small to medium audiences and there are places like Betelnut and Bar Luna. In addition, most of the big hotels have ballrooms or function rooms with a greater capacity. Open-air locations like the gardens at the ARMA museum, the Museum of Masks and Puppets or many hotels provide a stupendous natural environment ready-make for great outdoor theatrical backgrounds.

As an expat for many years, Marnie feels intuitively that if done right, there could be a thriving expat theatre scene here on the island. ‘I have some plans and ideas to tour a couple more shows either towards the end of this year or end of April next year’ she mentioned. ‘I think it’s best to start small and be consistent. I think it will grow from that and I hope that there will be some great venues to jump on board and make it all happen. The venues are key.’ I’m all for it and all in. Back in 2014 I wrote a feature article in Bali Advertiser entitled ‘The State of Expat Theatre, Drama and Comedy in Bali’ and my conclusions are still the same today. In contrast to the vibrant state of theatre in Balinese and Indonesian culture, theatre mounted by expats is in dire straits, even though most if not all expats come from countries with their own diverse and rich theatre culture and theatrical traditions. Actually, today, it is even worse than 5 years ago as the 4 groups profiled in the previous article are no longer in existence. Amateur theatre groups in Bali did not survive, probably due to busy schedules and the ephemeral transience of expat lives in Bali. Even the popular Bali Comedy club which showcased paid acts has left the building. However, the idea of hosting travelling theatre groups or acts may be a more sustainable art form for Bali. In this rich cultural environment a revival -with a twist- of expat theatre may just be able to take root. It’s open terrain for a newcomer with bouncy zeal in her step, a farreaching gleam in the eye, loads of enthusiasm and a menagerie of great performing acts. The possibilities are there for the success of alternatives like fringe or cafetheatre. It’s really a matter of someone taking the ball and creating a resounding path to a vibrant and alive theatre culture.

It was such a pleasure to see professional actors ply their craft. There is something about live, especially immersive theatre that tickles the senses in a way that passive entertainment like movies cannot satisfy. It is, as Marnie says, a way to think, to feel, to emote and to interact with the play and your surroundings which no manner of passive viewing can approach. I’m looking forward to the day I will see an announcement for a play called ‘A Three-headed dog named Cerberus’, a restage of ORPHEUS or a sequel, which will give centre stage to the viewpoint of the other half of the star-crossed lovers.

Rebirthing the ‘Golden Oldies’ – Repatriation of Lost Balinese Music Part I If you’re not “in the scene”, few people who live in Bali would know that a lot of Balinese gamelan music is either endangered or extinct. Depending on the village or tradition, this could be as much as 90% of a repertoire and there are more than 70 different types of gamelan ensembles. In addition, there are numerous gamelan instruments and even entire types of orchestras that are extinct: effectively the dodos of Balinese tradition. Documenting and reconstructing rare and lost Balinese gamelan traditions is the ongoing work of Mekar Bhuana in Denpasar, a centre that I set up in 2000 with this as one of the main objectives. Why this music and the physical instruments no longer exist is a topic too in-depth for this article, so I’m just going to introduce a fascinating process that we get to do every so often when we manage to access vintage documentation (that was mostly made by outsiders in Bali): repatriation. Around five months ago, Dr Danker Schaareman, a good friend of mine who is also a gamelan researcher and expert in archaic gamelan types called selonding and gambang, shared a vintage field recording of gamealan music with me. It was of a rare type of court orchestra called semara pagulingan, which was the topic of my research over the past 21 years in Bali. In 1962, a Swiss resident of Bali who was a brilliant, world-famous painter named Theo Meier made an audio recording in the village of Ketewel. Living in Sanur and married to a Balinese, he was known locally as ‘Tuan Theo’; even my own wife’s grandmother, Putu Resi (who was a chef at Tanjung Sari Hotel) knew him well. The recording is in pretty poor shape perhaps more due to microphone placement and recording equipment (and perhaps the environment – remember there wouldn’t have been any electricity at that time and batteries would have had a much more limited life) than to its vintage; nonetheless musicians familiar with this kind of court period music can work out “what’s goin’ on”. I was more than familiar with the orchestra recorded in this village as I had not only extensively researched it and hand-forged duplicates of some of the instruments, but also been invited to perform together with the group on numerous occasions since the late 1990s. Repatriation was essential but I had to aim for maximum effect so as to ensure that the pieces would be relearned and be reborn in this village.

Education & Family

EDUCATION MATTERS Greetings and welcome to yet another edition of Education Matters. This simple column provides readers with the opportunity to obtain an answer or insight into issues relating to Education and Learning. Especially, those matters that raise concern and anxiety for parents and children. As the academic year slowly draws to a close, invariably it leads to a time that generates so many fond memories of childhood excitement and athleticism. Yes that’s it, the School Sports Carnival! Who could possibly forget the Team Factions, usually drawn along the colours of green, red, blue and yellow. At my school, our Team Factions were also given the names of glorious trees that grew in our State namely: Tuart, Jarrah, Banksia and Wattle. The highlight of the day was always the “Parent’s Race”. Didn’t that humble event bring out the best and at times the absolute worst in adults in a very public setting while their children looked on breathlessly savouring every moment? Ah, a day on the school calendar that continues to provide such laughter, some tears and an endless display of grazed knees! The letter selected for this edition comes from Carol of Canggu. “Hi Dr. Leith, thanks for the great advice. My husband and I really look forward to reading your column in The Bali Advertiser. I have a rather difficult issue for you, so I hope you can help. For some time my thirteen year old son has been very resistant to go to school and when we finally do get him into the car and drop him at school, he waits till we’re gone and then he runs off! It’s got to the point where we dread the phone ringing in the morning because we know it’s going to be the school asking us where he is? We have sat him down many times asking him what’s wrong at school? He just clams up and won’t say anything or just mumbles that everything is OK and that he’ll stop running away from school. But Dr. Leith, it’s not OK this has been going on for some weeks now! I can’t understand why he doesn’t want to go to school anymore, especially when he used to love going before. What do you suggest we do?” Thanks for the letter Carol. Certainly, truancy is a

challenging behaviour that can be created by a number of factors namely: 1. Your child is being subject to bullying by another student/s. 2. Your child is having difficulty succeeding in his prescribed classroom tasks and is fearful of failure. 3. Your child has a specific Learning Need that is impacting on his level of comprehension and completion of assigned classroom tasks. 4. Your child does not like a particular teacher. 5. Your child has a serious socialisation skill deficit. 6. Your child seeks to use truancy as a means to manipulate you and your husband for his own gain. While this list presents some of the more obvious reasons as to why your child does not want attend school, it is by no means exhaustive. Some of the more complex reasons that I encounter and with an alarming frequency, in fact centre on Parental Needs rather than those of the child. For example: • The Parent/s may have previously suffered the loss of a child/children and are unable to let their remaining child out of their sight. • The Parent/s seeks the approval of the child and thereby facilitates truancy. • The Parents are having serious relationship issues and rely on the child to stay at home and “keep the peace”. • The Parent/s put the child to work at home in order to complete domestic duties. • The Parent/s are threatened by the child’s level of knowledge and are fearful the child will learn more at school and in turn undermind their authority in the home. • The Parent/s simply do not value Education. As you can see Truancy is indeed a complicated issue and one that can be driven by a number of motivations and agendas. However, the key to unlocking the reason/s behind this action always has been and always will be, honest and transparent communication by all individuals involved, especially the parent/s. Furthermore, truancy must be dealt with immediately and effectively, it simply cannot be given the opportunity to

flourish. When your child is absent from school, they are missing out on so much and I am not just talking about academic prowess. The child cannot possibly develop critical socialization and self awareness skills if they are removed or withdrawn from their peers. This is one of the prominent drawbacks of one to one Home School and an issue that I am happy to discuss at length in another column. An aspect often overlooked in this matter is the role of your child’s Classroom Teacher. Usually, this individual is experienced, highly trained and last, but by no means least, compassionate. They are in the unique position of being one of the most influential adult figures in your child’s entire life. So make an appointment and talk to your child’s teacher, find out what is really going on! A true but scary fact, in most cases your child spends more time with their Classroom Teacher than you do with your child. Finally, my homily for this edition of Education Matters is: “Real Education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best of our students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?”

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Everyday Balinese By I Gusti Made Sutjaja Everyday Balinese is a concise and user-friendly guide to the Balinese language targeted to anyone who wishes to learn colloquial Balinese. There are 23 lessons (not exercises) in this course book, each with a dialog that centers around daily life. These realistic beginner conversations are a great way to learn Balinese as it is really spoken. Though tending to be a bit dry, the dialogs are easy to follow and cover realistic situations. The dialogs are presented twice in two different speech levels consisting of almost entirely different words. Depending upon whom you are talking to, separate vocabularies are used in Balinese. The first version, denoted “A,” represents the lumrah or common tongue. The second, denoted “B,” is alus or refined Balinese. There are actually six different speech levels from the highest alus singgih used to address priests and rajas down to the lowest forms, Bahasa Kasar (common languages), which includes not only lumrah but the andap and wake everyday languages used all over Bali by children, young people and for some reason by the inhabitants of northern Buleleng District. Each lesson on food, greetings, shopping, money, finding your way, etc. contains a list of words in both lumrah and alus forms, followed by their Indonesian and English translations. In these sections, you’re able to compare the different words and expressions of the two speech levels in column format. These vocabulary lists repeat and reinforce the words and expressions used in the dialogs. The most difficult part of learning Balinese are the different speech levels, even though they follow much the same grammatical rules. The differences lie in word choice. For example, there are three different words for “eat,” depending upon the circumstances and who you are addressing. In the most refined language (alus), it is ngerayun. In the second level (lumrah), it is ngajeng. In the lowest speech level, the word for “eat” is ngamah. Lumrah words are used when participants of equal social status are conversing. It reflects intimacy and informality among its users. Alus words are

associated with distance and formality among users. If you talk with a friend or sibling, you use lumrah and when you speak with someone you know but not closely, you also use lumrah. But if you talk to a priest or a high government official, you use alus to show respect. Since Westerners mostly deal with young hotel staff, warung proprietors, transport providers, villagers but not mayors, rajas, judges, etc., they should put the emphasis on mastering lumrah because it’s easier to learn, you can use it everywhere and everyone understands it. A Westerner will even be forgiven for using lumrah when addressing royalty. On the other hand, not every Balinese understands the alus speech level. The book is not without its inconsistencies that confuse alus, lumrah and other speech levels. In Lesson 4, be is referred to as a common Balinese word meaning meat (be pusih-fish; be celeng-pork; be siap-chicken, etc,). Yet in Lesson 3, the table of animal names indicates that be is a high Balinese word. In one lesson, cicing (dog) is classified as common but in another, it’s considered high Balinese; katak (frog) is listed as both alus and lumrah words but actually the more common lumrah word for frog is dongkang. In Lesson 7, paek sajan is more usual than paek pesan. Sik (one), dua (two), nem (six), pitu (seven) and sia (nine) are more widely used than a number of words for those numbers listed in the Ordinal Numbers section of the Appendices.

Though Balinese is difficult to learn, if you are highly motivated and apply yourself, you are able to master at least a working knowledge of the language. The best and easiest way is to engage in conversation with Balinese with the aid of Everyday Balinese. This holistic approach of actively going into the field and learning with the people is highly effective if it’s done on a daily basis. You need only to commit to learn a minimum number of words each day, always taking note of the way to pronounce each word. For example, the words Dija? (From where?) sounds similar to Kija? (Where are you going?) but their meanings are quite distinct from each other. Not a dauntingly thick book, the page design is neat with a clean serifed typeface that’s easy to read. There are no pictures or photographs cluttering the pages. The book has a one-page pronunciation guide in the front and a handy 20-page dictionary at the end arranged alphabetically by Balinese, followed by Indonesian and English translations. For anyone who is going to spend any length of time on Bali or who is keen on really connecting with the people, Everyday Balinese is a worthwhile investment that will pay for itself time and again in the quality of your experiences. Everyday Balinese: Your Guide to Speaking Balinese Quickly and Effortlessly in a Few Hours by I Gusti Made Sutjaja, Tuttle Publishing 2009, ISBN-978-080-484-0453, 192 pages, dimensions 13.5cm x 20.5cm.

GREENSPEAK From Farmer to Fabric - Exquisite Textiles, Naturally These days almost everything we wear is made and dyed chemically. Hundreds of millions of metres of synthetic textiles are made each year and natural fibres are increasingly rare. So it’s refreshing to find a project at our doorstep that celebrates natural hand-loomed fabrics and vegetable dyes. Threads of Life has been working with traditional growers, weavers and dyers for over 20 years. Their work has played an important role in ensuring that traditional regional weaving and dying techniques have not been lost as the country rapidly modernises and artisans drift away from their crafts.

Farmer to Fabric provides a market that encourages the growers to keep producing it by purchasing the finished, undyed textiles. The home-grown cotton was spun by hand and woven into traditional dimensions; this system is being honoured by the project to maintain the stories of the cloth. Seser is a loosely woven coarse cotton (50 x 175cm), a sayut is a more densely woven cotton with macramé ends, 60 cm x 3m, and a jarit is 80cm x 3m. The shorter pieces can be used as shawls, scarves or tailored into blouses/jackets and the longer pieces can be used for cushion covers and home décor.

“Since 1998, Threads of Life has been developing its natural dye skills in collaboration with the indigenous weavers we work with across Indonesia,”says Threads of Life co-founder William Ingram. “We learned to dye with indigo, Morinda-red, and other traditional colours for three reasons. First, in order to determine that we were indeed buying natural dyed work. Second, to discover where the transmission of knowledge between generations had broken down and facilitate revitalisation of traditions. And third, to support sustainable cultivation and use of the dye plants.” Their new project Farmer to Fabric produces hand-woven cotton scarves and shawls in a luscious palette of indigo and cinnamon brown. This is cloth that supports traditional practices of harvesting hand-spun cotton and hand-loom weaving, coloured with natural dyes made from sustainably cultivated and harvested plants, processed with all natural and non-polluting methods and generating income for local Indonesian farmers and artisans. Every step of the textiles’ process is either certified as environmentally sustainable or can be demonstrated to be. The project is based at the integrated Threads of Life centre which brings together a garden of dye plants, a research lab, dying facilities and workshop space for weekly batik classes and monthly events which are open to the public. (https://www.threadsoflife.com/workshops). The project came about to address social changes at the grassroots. “One of the biggest social problems we see in our partner communities is male migration for work. This leaves women weavers as single heads of households, and limits the amount of time they can spend weaving,” William told me. “To help keep families together, we are paying the husbands to stay home and cultivate more dye plants for us. The chemical-free cotton has been grown in central Java on small-holder garden plots mixed with other crops for hundreds of years. Now that local demand has fallen,

The dying process is complex, lengthy and requires great skill. Extracts of both dyes need to be made a month before they are used to fully develop the colour. The brown dye must be cooked in a copper pot. The textile is washed before dying to prepare the fibre, then submerged and stirred in a dye bath of the desired colour saturation. It takes about four hours of intensive work to dye each piece, and great care must be taken to ensure that the long cloth absorbs the colour evenly. In order for the indigo to adhere to the fibre, it must be chemically reduced in the dye vat to remove the oxygen. Commercially, this is usually done with sodium dithionite (‘hydro’ in Indonesian), a very caustic chemical. Threads of Life uses the traditional reducing agent of palm sugar instead, acquired from farmers in east Bali who tap coconut trees for it. After dying, the textile must be washed. Instead of using commercial soap, the project makes its own pH-neutral soap from community-sourced candlenut oil for use in the scouring and finishing processes. “A lot of water is used in the dying process,” William explains. “We have a closed water system. Nothing leaves the dye centre, the used water is recycled in the dye garden. At all stages, we are developing transparent and accountable supply chains and production processes.” The end result of all this experience and skill are beautiful lengths of natural cotton certified through the chain of custody from farmer to fabric as environmentally sustainable.

Indigo for the project is grown and made into a dye paste by farmers in Java, Flores and East Bali. Threads of Life’s study of indigo cultivation and teaching of dye paste making began with an applied research project funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. All the indigo now grown for Farmer to Fabric - about 20 hectares - originated from cuttings of a single Strobilanthes cusia plant. While this species is from the Himalayas, it is non-invasive and both shade and elevation tolerant in Indonesia. William has been developing indigo supply chains across the country, both for the Bali centre’s needs, and to supply weavers making traditional cloth for the Threads of Life gallery, many of whom run out of indigo during the dry season. The red/brown dye is a traditional one derived from the bark of a mangrove tree (Ceriops tagal). The bark comes from an 80,000 hectare Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified forest concession in Papua. In this carefully managed project, other mangrove species are harvested for wood pulp and the Ceriops bark is a by-product.

Naturally these textiles are in limited supply. Currently they can be purchased from the Threads of Life shop on Jalan Kajeng in Ubud. For more information on Threads of Life’s remarkable work across Indonesia, visit www.threadsoflife.com

Enhancing A Green Lifestyle June 5 is World Environment Day, with more than a billion people embracing new ways to sustainably conserve our resources and protect the environment. Speaking at the Ubud Food Festival, energy and waste expert Aretha Aprilia said that consumers are proven agents of change. She named a few cultural roadblocks to reforming Indonesia’s food waste problem (second in quantity only to Saudi Arabia’s), such as the tradition of cooking excessive quantities for wedding guests (superstitious guarantee of the couple’s prosperity). A firm personal decision to strengthen our 3 R’s, says Aretha, is the key to the solution. Time-honored Recycle, Reduce, and Re-use has recently been expanded to acknowledge the high value of plastic: Reinvent/Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse/Repair, Recycle, Replace/Rebuy. Rebuy is a green purchasing practice that includes buying items made from recycled material but also considers point of purchase… e.g., does it REALLY need to be jetted to you now? A shopper passing up any styrofoam-packed herbs would be an instance of Refuse. Investing in traditions like rattan furniture over plastic weaves would be an example of Rethink. Environmentalism is becoming part of Bali’s culture, and if it’s been too troublesome to remember your cloth shopping bags and your reusable containers for take-away, or to say, “no straw, please,” maybe it’s time for a little inspiration. Check these out! Ever heard the term, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? We’re going to start seeing this a lot. Future Farmers Indonesia is a movement that re-teaches Bali’s youth the organic farming practices which have been disappearing under decades of chemical fertilizer and hybrid stocks. Your household can subscribe to delivery of their Bagi Bumi boxes of organic fruits and veggies, and that is community support. Contact info@futurefarmersindonesia. com. Subscribers get weekend farm visit privileges! Consider taking visiting friends to Buda Organic Farm instead of a resort buffet (where massive amounts of food usually go to waste). Sedasa Lodge in Berawa offers

private group (max 10) tours up to the pesticide-free mountain farm, where the young and friendly Chef Buda leads everyone through shaded orchards and colorful fields, ending with an all-hands creation of a delicious organic feast picked by YOU. Essential to book ahead. 081933111245 for the farm, and info@sedasa.com or 0887 3873123 goes to tour reservations. KulKul Farm is a great organic agricultural resource with tours on Mondays. Buy their organic produce and products, or sign up to for a workshop like home apothecary, bamboo construction, and permaculture (even a cramped villa side yard can grow some farm-to-fork goodness). I learned my organic pest control at KulKul. Make advance contact through kul@kulkulfarm.com or maria@kulkulfarm.com. Seminyak’s Potato Head Beach Club Sustainable Sunday free monthly cultural projects for families and kids are great one-hour activities. Bio soap making is the 7 July session, with no advance booking needed. Go to ptthead.com/bali for info on event start times. These are in partnership with the Green School. Never visited Green School’s campus? Go to www. greenschool.org/book-a-tour/ . Tour fees help fund scholarship for local students, and you’ll get to see for yourself what the excitement is all about. Sister entity Green Camp tailor-makes adventurous, shortterm experiential camps for school groups, families, and children 7 to 17. Sustainability and cultural appreciation are hallmarks of Green Camp. Curated activities include bamboo construction and river rafting, all fostering deep connections to nature, self, and each other. Check out www.greenschool.org/community . An intimate wedding of art, culture, and nature is the Festival Tepi Sawah in Pejeng, Gianyar, July 6 and 7.

Living with Glass On May 4th Adam Sky, a well known DJ, died after falling through a glass door and severing an artery in his arm. We don’t know the circumstances of this tragic incident but it does raise important questions for us all particularly those many people who own or stay in properties with full pane glass doors and/or windows and there are thousands of such properties all across South East Asia. Probably most of us have, at some time in our lives, walked into a closed glass door or window not realising there was glass there. Occasionally the glass breaks, standard glass, usually 5 or 6mm thick, can break fairly easily with the weight of a body thrown against it. When glass breaks the pieces that fall out are dangerous enough but more dangerous are the jagged pieces left along the bottom of the frame that we can fall onto. Less obvious but even more dangerous are the jagged pieces along the top of the frame that fall down onto us. The French, when they designed the guillotine, found that setting the lower edge of the blade at an angle rather than on the horizontal improved its ability to cut through things. Similarly, angular shards of glass falling onto us can be very effective at slicing through flesh. French doors with large panes of ordinary glass are accidents waiting to happen. But are all glass windows and doors dangerous? No not at all, most of the hotels we stay in are licensed and regulated and they operate to high safety standards and the glass used in exposed areas is usually “tempered” sometimes known as “toughened” glass. Glass is “tempered” by controlling the rate of cooling as it is being made, this puts stress into the glass making it stronger and more thermally resistant than normal glass. It also makes it break into granular chunks, rather than into large “shards.”

Note that if you want tempered glass it has to be ordered to exactly the right size from the glass manufacturer, it cannot be cut to size by glass merchants.

as “lites”. Muntins make the glass visible, they prevent people from falling them through and have the additional advantage of improved building security.

For safety reasons private villas should also be using tempered glass in exposed areas especially for shower screens and doors. Unfortunately, lack of knowledge or the desire to save money means that in many cases, ordinary glass is often used.

Glass in general can be dangerous and it is a really good idea to avoid glass shelves, especially in bathrooms.

How can we tell if glass is tempered? Tempered glass always has a logo or some sort of marking engraved in the glass usually on a corner. Check your car side and rear windows (not your windscreen) they are tempered glass and you will find markings etched into the corners. So what if you have plain glass in your doors? There are three things you can do to improve safety: 1. Best solution - Replace the glass with tempered glass. This will be expensive and may require the frame to be modified to take thicker glass. 2. Good solution - Apply a sheet of shatter film to the glass. This is a tough clear film that strengthens the glass and, if it breaks, holds the broken pieces together, it stops the glass from flying around or falling out of the frame onto you. It also improves security. Shatter film is fairly expensive. 3. Poor solution - Apply some frosted glass film to make the glass visible to reduce the risk of people walking into it. You don’t have to cover all the glass, perhaps a couple of bars across the middle or even a logo. Frosted glass logos are often applied to the glass doors of banks, government offices and the like just to let you know there is glass there. There is another solution, you can install “muntins”, also known as “glazing bars”, into your windows and doors. You see them everywhere, dividers that form a grid system breaking up large glass panes into smaller panes known

This whole question does raise other important issues, however. We live in a world where online apps, such as Airbnb, allow people to rent out their villa or apartment on a short term basis. These service networks have become numerous so quickly that government regulation has not been able to keep up. As a result, many private villas are not licensed and operate “below the radar,” often they do not comply with the regulations, safety requirements or insurances that apply to licensed premises such as hotels. So, if you are renting out your property you have a duty of care to your clients, it is a good idea to make sure your property is inspected for safety and that you have public liability insurance. If you are going to stay in a private villa, it is a good idea to make sure the premises are checked for safety and that you are insured.

Beauty & Health Taman Air Spa Driving along Sunset Road I spotted this big sign probably like a million times advertising The Best Day Spa in Bali. I then Googled best spas in Bali and found a few lists, which included Taman Air Spa in the top ten. Curiosity finally drove me to check out this spa. I should never judge a book by its cover and assumed that this spa located on a busy road was small. It has a large frontage with a car park and lots of greenery.

helped me to carefully slide into the warm water and tossed in a bowl of milk powder. “You have fifteen minutes in the bath. I’ll be back with some ginger tea.” She informed me as she pressed the button to turn on the water jets. Like a child I played with the foamy suds as I mixed in the milk powder. A few minutes later she returned with a warm glass of water, a small pot of ginger tea and a plate of fresh fruit. Setting the tray on the ledge she smiled and left me to enjoy my bath. Reveling in the water jets I wished my husband was with me to share the bath and have someone to talk to.

Entering I was pleasantly surprised at how spacious it is inside. It has a large reception and I noticed the small café at the front had numerous suitcases awaiting departure to the airport after their owner’s spa treatment. Walking around behind the reception there’s Bamboo Café with a few tables and chairs for guests to enjoy lunch. This place was busy. Then I noticed the spa’s ‘piece di resistance’ - the huge water garden. Absolutely stunning. Now I saw where the spa got its name. She added lemongrass essential oil to the footbath and commenced with the foot ritual, which included a sea salt scrub. Next was the massage. The massage beds are quite large and very comfortable. After lying face down a chime rang to announce the start of the massage. She placed small cushions under my knees which enhanced my comfort and then started with pressure points over my back and legs and then applied lavender oil in an olive oil base and went to work on the muscles. My body immediately responded with “Ah, this feels good. I really need this.”

After I met with the manager Ayu, she gave me a tour of the spa. There’s 16 villa couple rooms surrounding the water garden. Having a look at a couple of the rooms, they are spacious and comfortably furnished. Wood and bamboo are used in the décor giving the rooms a natural and stylish look. All of the rooms have a garden with a large Jacuzzi bath. Upstairs are many more massage rooms, all with two beds. I asked Ayu why Taman Air Spa is the best day spa in Bali. “It was voted the best stand-alone spa award by the Indonesian Tourism Department. In 2017 Taman Air received a certification of competence that placed us as the only day spa in Bali that offers high quality treatments, products, facilities as well as skillful therapists, equal to those provided by the 5 star hotels. Come have a look at our facilities and have a treatment.” She invited me, “And then you’ll understand.” The following day I returned to have their signature Balinese massage, hibiscus body scrub and milk bath. I was escorted to a spacious suite at the end of the water garden, with grey walls and turquoise accent cushions and covers on the massage beds. My therapist showed me the locker and asked that I remove all my jewelry and put in an envelope to keep in the locker. There was a batik kimono neatly folded awaiting my arms to slide into it. After I changed I sat in the chair in front of the large footbath bowl that was set up for me. She showed me the clock to prove that she was starting at 3pm, and the little schedule that the lemongrass footbath would take 5 minutes, the massage 60 minutes, body scrub 40 minutes and milk bath 15 minutes. The whole treatment was scheduled for 120 minutes.

The goal of the massage is relaxation rather than therapeutic. The soft hypnotic music in the background almost lulled me to sleep as my body was seduced into a state of relaxation. It seemed that an hour had gone by too quickly when she whispered that the body scrub would begin. Leg by leg, arm by arm and my stomach was uncovered to have a smooth paste applied and then covered again. I knew that she disappeared into the garden bathroom while the paste dried because I could hear the water running to fill the bath. After she scrubbed off the paste she wiped the skin clean with a warm moist towel and covered my skin again. Next I flipped over and had the whole procedure on the back of my body. Afterwards I sleepily sat up as she helped me slide my arms into the kimono and handed me the tie belt and slipped on the sandals.

After I showered I felt so fresh and clean with a smile on my face when I emerged from my little haven. My therapist was waiting for me to accompany me back to the reception. I now understand why Taman Air Spa was nominated as the best day spa in Bali. They offer a large variety of treatments using all natural products which include moringa, water lily and red wine. The service was superb and the atmosphere is stylish and relaxing. This is a wonderful spa to indulge your pleasure. Celebrate your birthday here and receive 20% discount.
