STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE NOVEMBER 09 - NOVEMBER 23, 2016

This fortnight promises to keep up with the interesting twists and turns of events, fate or karma we’ve been experiencing of late. Mars moves from that very pragmatic, traditional and status seeking sign of Capricorn and into Aquarius as the fortnight unfolds. Aquarius is far more humanitarian in nature and definitely quirky, erratic and decidedly unpredictable and yet very caring and community oriented. Venus now takes her turn in Capricorn and our values are more aligned with a traditional approach, as too are our relationships. Mercury transitions from the depths of Scorpio and back into the light of day to shoot its arrows of truth from the archers bow, Sagittarius. The Sun joins Mercury in Sagittarius at the very end of the fortnight. Our Full Moon on the 14th sees both the Sun and Moon harmoniously aligned with Chiron in Pisces and brings healing through the feminine aspect of nurture and protection, while the masculine continues to push an emotionally loaded content. These are deeply feeling times for us all and remain wildly unpredictable. Just a few days after this Full Moon, Neptune is conjoined the South Node Pisces. Powerful events are unfolding with these dynamic karmic forces at work beneath the surface of our lives. Issues arising now have been hidden in the collective psyche and are now ready for a discerning enquiry. The new positioning of Mercury (communication) and Mars (action) in the masculine signs of Sagittarius and Aquarius respectively, open situations up to honesty and a more radical unifying approach. FULL MOON 22 Taurus 37 November 14, 2016 9:52 p.m.

This Full Moon highlights your value systems and brings some material acquisitions and yet not before you release some of the old baggage you’ve been carrying around. The old “stuff” will be illuminated through your intuition and dreamscape first, so pay close attention to your gut feelings and instincts this fortnight as they are all clues to the direction your life wishes to take now. You are able to connect with a higher truth and integrate this in your mind through direct action within your community or group of friends. So much healing is afforded you when you switch off the external chatter and the excess mind activity through meditation.

You may have sudden inspirations to do some work around the home, remodelling, beautifying and the like. This Full Moon could bring sexual intimacy or a deepening of connection with sensual or love partners and often a natural by-product of this is improvement to your physical health. For those on the solo journey, there is no need to despair for it seems that you too will benefit from deeper, though, alone time. If meditation is your cup of tea, then this is a great time to delve deeply into your inner landscape for a good dose of discerning investigation. You are ready to take action on your creative projects now.

If you choose to hold your beliefs with conviction, regardless of any opposition from those closest to you, a very deep healing can take place for not only you but those in your environment as well. Friendship is important to you and it is through group activities that you will find your own individualised expression and personal approach. As you take responsibility in a mature way and express yourself more candidly on the important topics, particularly around the sharing of resources, things begin to take shape in your vocational world. The crossover with career is unfolding rapidly for you now and new ideas and innovations abound.

It’s birthday time of year when the Full Moon falls in your opposite sign and brings all those polarised situations. The projection you receive could be of a steadier and calmer self as opposed to your normal all systems go personality. As you balance these opposites you find a deeper, dare I say more spiritual aspect of the personality arising. This is also good for your creative expression and brings out a more unbiased approach to your interactions with friends and within the group setting. There suddenly seems to be some more action around the home front or to do with family members. Perhaps you are ready to live more communally.

Mercury, your ruler has just entered your polar opposite sign and brings with it some candid conversations with the significant others in your life. This will lead to a higher truth being shared and unification within groups and your community activities. The Full Moon takes you deep within and polarises the need for a deeper emotional sharing in your daily life and the healing obvious through your career focus. Old mentors may reappear as the catalyst for a new level of grounding within your physical and emotional bodies. There’s work to be done and a more serious tone ensues for now. Things will lighten up again when the Sun enters Sagittarius.

As you prepare for the next cycle things seem to become more personal and less about the World at large. This is the time to think about your own motives, money, values and who you’ve become in respect to your own past. As you turn away from the outer World and focus on what’s inside your health can take a turn for the better through introspection and a practical approach to symptoms. Many have been on an emotionally charged journey and this has led them into places they’ve not ventured before. The healing then comes through rebalancing after a major dislodgment. Many are experiencing integration and a further commitment to their work.

Friendships are important to you and as they allow a platform from which you can launch your deepest desires and passions. The comfort they allow and sense of security offers a haven of mutual support and upliftment, when functioning optimally. Healing is obvious when the thoughts are elevated to include the emotions of the individual. You will find yourself more and more discerning when it comes to the content of what and how you share information with others, particularly during this time phase. When you become aware of how you’ve been deceived or manipulated it can no longer take place. Let this truth wash away the doubt and confusion.

Venus has just moved into your sign and brings all those things that personally please you to mind. You may want to have a bit of a make-over or direct more attention to the physical body. This is a time when you like to share with others and to look your best and thoughts may turn to romance, particularly around the Full Moon. Love is in the air. You might want to keep your thoughts to yourself during the next month as you internalise and open to new ideas and even experiment with them. Something has infiltrated your thought processes and dropped in some revelatory inspirations which can take time to digest.

The Sun opposes the Moon at Full Moon and being in fixed signs like yourself, they bring a balancing act between where you feel comfortable and where you would like to be in the future. If you hold things too close they actually tend to be repelled. Let this be a time of discerning your values and valuables and self-promote some culling of the unnecessary. Let truth prevail and lead you towards interrelating in a more open way with the beloveds in your life. As you adopt a new value system, particularly in relationship to the everyday, deep emotions get released and a natural order of healing takes place.

There’s a career focus bringing a highlight to emotional grounding and financial healing taking place now. When we separate out different aspects of our lives and neglect to take the personal into the collective we lose an aspect of self which is integral to the whole. Even though all is not yet fully revealed you get the gist of what’s required to further your work and the sharing that is necessary. Mars entering your sign will bring a fresh burst of inspiration and enthusiasm to all that you do and in particular through your friendships and verbal exchanges. Speak up for what you believe in now, as you could well be the voice of the group.

This fortnight may bring a sense of harmony for you, even with the external situations provocatively stirring events. Significant people are no doubt impacting your life in a way that further promotes your self-understanding. Often it is through the projection of the other that we get to claim ourselves, for better or for worse. You can more easily communicate your needs and address situations in the workplace or within your daily environment during this Full Moon. You will feel more at ease when you lift your game through penetrating thought processes or deeply emotional exchanges. This is the time to heal the broken relationships.

There’s a lot of personal healing going on during this cycle and you may want to share what you are going through by talking to others or writing down, blogging what you are experiencing. It’s a good way of grounding your experience, ideas and thinking and integrating the fullness of this recent journey. There are significant meetings and reconnections taking place that remind you of some ancient past. Your action may not be so visible to others at this time and yet your words have power to change on the subtle levels. Love in its more practical application is best directed towards your community of friends and in the group setting.

Computer & Internet SOCIAL MEDIA BYTES BY : LIZ AFAIK Travel¿sh.org has been called ‘the most comprehensive independent online guide to travelling in South East Asia.” With the demise of Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree online forum, travelers in the region have few online resources for meeting other travellers and getting sound, up-to-date advice and itineraries for where to go and what to see (and what to watch out for) in South East Asia. Travel¿sh focuses on travel in Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The free-to-use site helps independent travellers plan their trips with travel advice and itineraries and inspires them with travel stories from its own correspondents. All recommendation on the site are ¿rst-hand: Travel¿sh doesn’t accept freebies and every place they write about has been visited anonymously by a staff member. I caught up with one of the co-founders of Travel¿sh at the recent Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. Samantha Brown is a former journalist who once worked with Agence France-Presse in Bangkok, Phnom Penh and Jakarta. She has lived and travelled in South-East Asia for over twelve years. She and her husband, Stuart McDonald, who now runs Travel¿sh, founded the site together in 2004. LA: How did Travel¿sh get started? SB: I was a journalist and my husband was the trailing spouse. He had previously written guidebooks and he’d done some freelance writing. We saw with the starting of the Internet that it would make sense that guidebooks should be online, so people could access them while they were on the road, instead of having to buy a paper version. Also, there aren’t the same barriers to entry online as there are to publishing a paper guidebook. We started initially covering places that we liked, destinations that we were going to anyway. Then we started to round it out a little bit more as time went on. There are some areas we cover better than others. But we do have gaps in our coverage. We have to strike a balance between popular places, like Bali, with places that aren’t as well covered. We’d rather encourage people to go to lesser-known destinations. We hope this will take the strain off the popular places. We’ve kind of created this monster [by becoming a popular travel site]… it’s challenging to keep up with what we’ve created. [Her husband Stuart writes for and maintains the site.] Now we have four other full time correspondents and a couple of extra writers. LA: How do you feel that Travel¿sh can make a difference? SB: It makes more of an economic impact if travelers go [to a less popular place which doesn’t have developed tourist infrastructure and hotels] and stay in a family homestay. That’s money that stays in the local economy and bene¿ts local families. You’re travelling more responsibly. LA: How do online booking sites, such as AirBnB, bene¿t local owners? SB: Booking.com is getting into more remote areas than a

few years ago. There’s also a generational shift happening. We went to a guesthouse in Lombok that was closed down and is now reopened and the son is running it. He’s had hospitality training and he’s Internet savvy. They’re on Booking.com. They’re on Agoda.com. They’re on Facebook. There’s a totally different approach … [he’s] adopting the technology that perhaps [his] parents weren’t [using] and so there’s a shift in how places are making themselves known now. It’s smart. LA: So how do you push or encourage travellers using Travel¿sh to go and explore lesser-known places? SB: We’ll have itineraries that are off the beaten track. I think it’s about having the information on the site so people can ¿nd it. We also have a forum so people can ask questions. We get a lot of itinerary-based questions. One of the main problems is people wanting to do too much in too little time. We try to encourage people to do less in more time. You’ll have a better time if you just choose two places in Flores and just go stay there; don’t try and do everything in one trip. It’s also more environmentally friendly.

C/Ci/I-09 Nov 16

LA: It seems like the length of time people are spending in Indonesia is dropping. SB: That’s a shift that we’re seeing across Southeast Asia with the rise of discount airlines. People used to come to Southeast Asia for six months [as local travel could take so long on buses or trains]. Now people are coming for two weeks and wanting to see three or four countries. That may also be a function of people not being able to take six months off anymore. People are travelling for shorter periods but they’re spending more money per day. You’re also seeing more inter-Southeast Asian travel; Singaporeans going to Lombok, for example. You meet more interesting travellers now that you did twenty years ago; they’re more a diverse mix. Which is nice to see. Young Indonesians are huge travellers, they’re very intrepid. LA: What are future plans for Travel¿sh? SB: Fill in gaps. We want to expand in terms of depth of coverage .. have better coverage of places we already cover … more itinerary information. LA: Is there anything else you’d like people to know about Travel¿sh? SB: We try to show people that there are more places to go in South East Asia than they might at ¿rst think and not to be dismissive about popular places, like Bali. Don’t write off thousands of years of interesting culture just because of the image that a very small part of Bali has in the Australian media. Bali is just as fascinating as Vietnam. But if you don’t know about all these fascinating places in Bali, because they’re not on the radar of the Australian media, then you need to know where to look. Don’t just stay in Kuta; check out Menjungan Island or Amed. I hope that’s what we’re providing.

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS GARDENS OF BOOKS For more than 30 years, Anita at Ganesha Books (Sanur and Ubud) has donated books to non-pro¿ts and schools all over Bali, by encouraging customers and friends to contribute and “sign their name”. Now she’s helping further a¿eld, with piles of great storybooks destined for Taman Baca (Garden of Books) in Sumba. Here’s how it works. Anita puts 1 juta’s worth ($100) of these books in Goddess on the Go clothing and jewellery store, on Jl Raya Pengosekan. You choose and pay for a book, unwrap it, and put your message inside. The cost is about the same as a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Your money is used to buy the second load of books. Indonesia has 50 million students, but primary school enrolment rates are below 60% in poor districts. Only 1 in 4 will ever reach the minimum international standard for literacy and numeracy – mostly because schools simply do not have enough books! Visit: www.ganeshabooksbali.com / Ganesha on Jl Raya Ubud (next to Bali Buda). HO HO HO FUNDRAISER TIME AGAIN! Another way to lend a helping hand is to join Ubud Rotary’s fabulous 3rd Annual Christmas Buffet Dinner Fundraiser, on December 4. (Starts 6pm sharp). Rotary projects in local Balinese communities and schools are improving sanitation, supplying safe drinking water, organising health care, bringing doctor and dental visits to local schools, and hosting community eye check clinics. Rotary’s Christmas dinner is notorious for fabulous rafÀe prizes (free rafÀe ticket for every adult, and more on sale at the event) with hundreds of great Bali hotel/ resort stays, fabulous dinners, exotic spa packages, art works donated. The venue is Ubud’s ¿ve-star Maya Resort. Tickets are 550,000rp (discounts for children and KTP Indonesians), for delicious buffet dinner, including roasted turkey with all the trimmings, and many vegetarian and vegan choices, Christmas Log and strawberry ¿nancier for desert. Tickets from Maya; 0361-977888 ext. 1401 - charge cards or cash). ORANGUTAN BORNEO Take an extraordinary trip to see the endangered orangutans and other rare animal and bird species, in their last safe jungle habitat in Central Kalimantan. A small group will leave Bali on December 10 for a ¿ve day, fournight adventure, following the Katingan River, the boundary of Sebangau National Park. They will visit villages to experience traditional livelihoods and culture and explore mazes of black water lakes. Finally they’ll overnight in the forest (in comfortable lodges), taking a night wildlife walk, to position “camera traps”, photographing the timid the ‘ghost’ leopard, and visiting the Katingan Project forest rehabilitation area. International award-winning operator, Kalimantan Tour Destinations, has very reasonable prices (Rp 5.9 million for 9-10 people; Rp 8.9 million for 3-4 people), which include accommodation, virtually all meals, tour guides, and airport pickup in Palangka Raya (one of Indonesia’s friendliest cities), where the tour

CARGO ARRIVES SAFELY A friend recently moving his possessions back to Australia after a decade in Bali was pleasantly surprised to ¿nd not one breakage, when his container was opened in his home city of Melbourne. His congratulations to the packing team at Bisama Cargo, led by the tall, smiling Pak Made Sika. In Australia, you’d have to have everything ready to go on the same day. Here in Ubud, Pak Made’s team will safely store your goods as you decide what to take with you. They’ve been in business for a long time, and so in administration, Ibu Ayux knows all the steps and cautions. Australia has a rigorous quarantine process, with all wood products requiring a fumigation certi¿cate from a few rati¿ed companies. Other products, stone for example, must have proof of origin, and so on. Lots of lessons learnt. If you’ve got more than 10 cubic meters or so, it’s actually cheaper to hire your own container than put your goods in another one. Then, it’s a good idea to check around with the other companies, because they may have customers going to the same destination, so you can share the costs at both ends. Read on… TRAPS FOR NEW PLAYER What Bisama didn’t say – and do not know, speci¿cally, for each destination – is that the cost at the receiving end may be just as much as paying for the container itself. There are so many steps, and organisations to be paid, to get that container off the ship and to its ¿nal destination. So, to the ¿rst solid $AU3,000 to send the container to his home port, add $565 for the receiving agent (arrival fees/ clearing the ship), $165 for quarantine inspection (Agriculture Dept), approximately $750 to container transport company (unload/ unpack for inspection, various port and tax charges), that’s another 50% before it got in the truck to his new home. In John’s case, hiring a rental truck and some family help meant $150 not $1,200-$1,500 for that ¿nal step, and he saved some additional money did the running around to Customs and Agriculture/ Quarantine departments himself, instead of using a customs broker, which you can do if there are personal effects only.

details in which the literary character is challenged, and build upon that. There was much said about the healing properties of writing. Memoirist and Sanur resident Ariel Leve told an audience that when someone writes their own traumatic experiences, the fact of having a reader means the writer is no longer alone. In turn, “reading is a solitary act that connects you to something larger.”

Lucky 13: Empathy, Forgiveness, and Compassion By Renee Thorpe “This year, our festival becomes a teenager.” UWRF Director Janet deNeefe’s proclamation to the opening day crowd came with the knowing smile of experience. In the lively days that followed, the 13th annual gathering was a youthful pastiche of hope and outrage, high emotions and energy, and thirst for information. There were free performances, sold-out workshops, sumptuous foodie events, and exciting literary experiences for children. We had conversations – on foot, during bicycling, or under a joglo roof; there were new books and new names, all of it giving the four days a back-to-school buzz. Tat tvam asi was the Sanskrit theme, colorfully emblazoned on walls, t-shirts, and banners around town. Translated as “I am you, you are me,” it encapsulates empathy, compassion, and forgiveness, traits sometimes abandoned in adolescence. This year, all the cool kids embraced the theme. Here are some of the many great moments of this year’s supremely diverse and entertaining festival. In one of the many film discussions, talented Indonesian actress and screenwriter, Djenar Maesa Ayu, urged any creator to reflect the reality around them, as the authenticity factor is key for connecting with an audience. Honesty would be referred to often by Indonesian filmmakers. Empathy or forgiveness is a two-way flow. Former refugees, now Kalawai Rap Crew from Makassar, eliminate hostility through musical performance. In Ubud last weekend, they met Melbourne-based, Muslim rap artists The Brothahood,

and the comrades-in-peace shared their stories of changing minds and empowering at-risk youth. Youth. Would that be 13? Writers of all genres revealed coming-of-age stories, as of knowing one’s life quest, or of a critical moment that ends childhood. There was Richard Loseby deciding to see the world (Afghanistan, precisely), at the precocious age of 5. And multitalented Dewi Lestari revealed at a writers’ dinner that before she found success in music, she had the dream of writing her own book, having it sit proudly on bookshelves everywhere. She fashioned a bestseller type from a blank notebook, filling it with her stories, and in time, that dream came true. Change itself, and the power to start again, was often passionately argued as possible at any age. The Prison-to-College pipeline organized by Baz Dreisinger (Incarceration Nations: A Journey to Justice in Prisons Around the World) was introduced in Ubud as how education and writing has rescued people from the dehumanizing, endless cycle of institutional life. Empower them with the tools to write, Baz urged. Empathy in her case has meant teaching writing; the skill she herself possesses, letting prisoners rebuild self worth. Novelist, educator, and former drug dealer, Mitchell S. Jackson, imparted writing advice from poet Nikki Giovanni, who warns against wallowing inside a tone of sympathy. It is, rather, the reader’s empathy for characters that a writer wants to construct. Develop a true understanding of all the

Mayank Austen Soofi, Indian blogger of cities and their people, no small festival sensation this year, remarked to me that the festival was extraordinarily trusting and friendly in tone, as though Tat Tvam Asi was the social thread outside the venues and on the street. “Strangers here are all responding to each other,” he said. “Words can escape from you so easily if you just reach out.” On that note, People of Letters and Women of Letters returned to Ubud. While the contents of the letters read aloud in an intimate setting cannot be revealed here, it can be reported that this exercise for writers to search their souls (and share with a trusted, lucky few) did spark some extraordinary moments of understanding and empathy. We do seem to appreciate our writers when they are human above all else. This reporter’s advice is to get a ticket, the next time Letters is on offer anywhere. Organizers Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire stage these in various cities internationally. Moby, Kathleen Turner, and other diverse luminaries have participated. One local luminary, architect Tony Gwilliam (T House and Bloo Lagoon projects), launched his delightful Far From Boring memoirs in a wild narrative of images, documents, and tales from his life and career. The volume was fashioned like a passport, but sold in custom-designed Balinese aluminum boxes, like a treasure. The big, wild, closing party, where poets and writers danced like teenagers at the Blanco Renaissance Museum, ended amid good-natured cries for more. Bit by bit, the last blissed-out writer collapsed into bed, and those few straggling volunteers bade last farewells to new-found best friends, Ubud at last rested, as one, Tat Tvam Asi. Until next year.

The humble Mung Bean is Big Medicine In terms of health the expression “good things come in small packages” is certainly true of the mung bean. With its potent combination of nutrients, the mung bean provides an impressive defense against several of the major chronic, age-related diseases that afflict us today and which include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. The Mung Bean’s Tale Archeological evidence shows that mung beans (Vigna radiata) were domesticated in India as early as 1500 BC before spreading throughout Asia and finally to Europe and the United States. Their medicinal properties, such as protection against heat stroke, and high nutritional content have been valued for centuries. These tiny, oval-shaped beans are available in several forms, with the peeled spilt version popular in Indian dishes, and the processed version of bean sprouts and starch noodles more common in Asian cuisine. Although mung beans have been cultivated in parts of Europe and America since the 1830s, 75 percent of the 40 million pounds of mung beans consumed in the West annually are imported from Asian countries.

When Chinese researchers analysed the inhibition activity of sixteen legumes, mung beans ranked second only to the common bean. This positive effect being attributed to their two main constituents, vitexin and isovitexin. Anti-Cancer Effects A recent study reported by the British Medical Council showed that mung beans suppress the growth of human liver and highly aggressive cervical cancer lines through multiple mechanisms, including cytotoxicity, inducing anti-cancer cytokines, halting cancer cell cycle, and triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death). These benefits can also account for the mung bean’s protection against other cancers. Korean researchers compared dietary factors in 213 stomach cancer patients with an equal number of controls. They found that those who consumed even a modest amount of mung bean pancakes daily exhibited a lower risk of stomach cancer.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH C/He/G-9 Nov. 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

CESAREAN SECTION - Too Posh to Push or a Life Saver? There has been a lot of chat lately on social media regarding birth & cesarean section. Many of the comments from mothers are negative or express disappointment at having been perhaps forced into a surgical birth. C-Section is much more common than ever before. The rate for CSections varies greatly between hospitals, practitioners, countries and cultures. Some centers have a C-Section rate of as high as 70-90 %, others as low as 20-30%. (In Bali many doctors have a rate as high as 80-90 %). If you particularly did not want a C-Section choose a birthing facility/practitioner that has a low rate of C-Section. Firstly there is nothing wrong with C-Section. What is wrong, as with many things, is when it is over-used. I think the tragedy here is that women who do not need surgery are opting to have surgical birth, and women who do not have access (financially or other wise) to this life saving procedure are losing their lives, or their babies. With many hospitals & doctors here having an extraordinarily high cesarean rate, we have to examine the reasons for such a trend. • Unfortunately it has become a fashion here for women to have a surgical birth. If your family has money, it is almost expected that you would choose the “easy way out”. I have even heard specialist obstetricians say to their patients that vaginal birth is for “village women” and that c-section would be “a better option.” • Women feel that perhaps vaginal birth may have a negative affect on future sexual relations. In fact this is

not at all true. With correct pelvic floor exercise, women can get their “vajajay’s” back in to shape much faster after vaginal birth than after surgical birth. Women are given little or no prenatal education. They have no training on what to expect or how to better manage their own pregnancy & labor through relaxation, breath work, positioning & exercise. Doctors don’t have time to wait around for vaginal birth. This is essentially true here in Indonesia. Doctors have an enormous patient load. For example, in Australia the doctor (specialist) to patient ratio is approximately 200 specialists per 100,000 population. The World Bank estimates that in Indonesia the doctor to patient ratio is approximately 5 specialists per 100,000 population. A vast difference in workload. Doctors are not trained in assisted birth using forceps or vacuum, or may have little experience in applying them. Fetal monitoring during labor is basic here in Indonesia. Basically we are relying on the fetal heartbeat to determine distress. Hi-tech monitoring such as fetal scalp blood monitors are not available here. Should a C-section be called during labor, the waiting time for a doctor, anesthetist, and operating theatre may be considerably longer than in hospitals in developed countries (CBD area). For this reason the decision to call a c-section may be made earlier rather than later during labor in Indonesia. Unfortunately the finance factor may also come in to play with some (but not all) doctors.

So there are many things to consider before surgical birth or Cesarean Section (C-Section) is decided. Some C-Sections are done by prior arrangement and some as a decision later in the birth process. Reasons for elective (planned) C-Section might be: • Unfavorable position of the baby or the placenta • More than one baby (twins,triplets etc)

C/He/G-12 Oct. 16

• • • •

Unfavorable bone structure in the mother. Mothers other medical conditions (e.g. heart conditions) More than 2 previous C- Sections. Personal non-medical reasons - timing, convenience, society pressure, birth fears.

Reasons to decide for a C-Section during labor might be: • Failure to progress in labor • Mother exhausted • Baby distressed • Other medical conditions What are the disadvantages of C-Section? • Longer recovery time/ pain management. • Mother’s milk takes longer to come-in. • Numbness over the incision • Scarring (Keloids), although generally C-Section scars are hardly noticeable only months after the surgery. • General higher risk of complications with surgical birth vs normal natural childbirth. However if vaginal birth is considered to be high risk, the c-section is a safer option. If you are planning a c-section birth you should also be aware that your partner probably NOT be allowed to attend, however overseas it is common practice for husbands to attend surgical birth (no pressure of course!). Also be aware that the standard hospital admission for c-section here is 2 nights following the surgery: in my opinion this is nowhere near long enough. In Australia you would be kept in for 5 -7 days. If you have c-section here in Bali I would suggest that you request to stay at least an extra 2 nights. (You will only be required to pay a nightly rate, not another “package” rate). If you would like more information about birth in Bali, or would like to attend birthing classes, please feel free to contact me.

Beauty & Health AROMATHERAPY AT HOME Aromatherapy has been in use for thousands of years since the ancient Egyptians for not only embalming but also for healing purposes. Indonesia is abundant in plants to extract the precious oils to make many essential oils. Aromatherapy at home not only makes your house smell marvellous it has many therapeutic properties to alleviate headaches, sore muscles, deter annoying insects and boost your mood. TYPES of ESSENTIAL OILS Yo u m a y h a v e wondered why prices can vary so much for the same essential oil. It’s not the manufacturer or name brand that determines the price, but the quality of the oil. You may find another type of oil called fragrance oil. This is essential oil blended with carrier base oil (like almond or coconut) and often meant to be used in an aroma burner. However, some fragrance oils may be synthetic. HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS Storage: Essential oils need to be stored in a dark bottle away from direct sunlight because they deteriorate in sunlight. It’s best to store the bottles in a cool place. It’s also important to replace the cap as soon as possible to prevent air getting into the bottle since the oil will oxidize and deteriorate. Inhalation: One of the easiest ways to use essential oils is through the nose. Inhalation is the quickest way for the oil to enter the body and take effect. It also provides direct access to the brain by access through the nasal passage. Simply sprinkle 1 to 6 drops onto your palm, rub your hands together to warm the oil, then hold your hands below your nose and slowly inhale. Ways to add aroma to a room. You can fill a plant sprayer with water and add 10 -12 drops of essential oil and spray a room. Using an electric vaporizer is an excellent way to keep infections at bay. For a candle burning aroma burner, its best to use a fragrance oil. Never heat a therapeutic grade essential oil, as they are much too precious to burn. Through the skin: The molecules of essential oils are so small that they can easily enter the body through hair follicles and sweat glands. From there, they are transported into the blood capillaries and lymph and sent throughout the body by the circulatory system. Most strong essential oils should not be applied directly to the skin because they may cause a rash or a burning sensation. If you feel burning after applying an essential oil, simply rub in some carrier oil - this will dilute the essential oil and alleviate the burning. Water can act as a carrier, so one way to absorb the oils is by taking a bath with essential oils added. Six to eight drops in a bath is enough. Hot and cold compresses with essential oil added can treat insect bites, muscular pain, sprains, joints or varicose veins. The following essential oils are commonly used : Bergamot Many Earl Grey tea lovers are familiar with the fresh, sweet, citrus scent. Uplifting and relaxing, it’s good for boosting your mood. It’s also useful for oily and acne skin. Cinnamon The spicy aroma of cinnamon has been sought after for its ability to improve health. Cinnamon promotes healthy cardiovascular and immune system and acts as an antiseptic. Citronella It’s a popular insect repellent. Clary Sage Used in skin care to control oily skin and excessive sweating. It has a soft herbal scent that is uplifting and relaxing to support a normal healthy life during PMS. It’s also useful for menopausal women. Clove It has a stimulating and revitalizing spicy fragrance with immune-enhancing properties. It has been used in the dental industry to numb the gums. Always dilute clove oil for topical use because it causes a burning feeling. Eucalyptus A penetrating fresh scent that contains a high percentage of eucalyptol, a key ingredient used in many mouth rinses. Often it added to the water bucket inside a sauna to improve respiration. Frankincense For thousands of years in the Middle East frankincense has been used as a holy anointing oil in religious ceremonies. The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks and is now a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin because of its ability to revitalize body tissues. It has an uplifting, calming, flowery scent. Geranium Widely used as a fragrance in many cosmetic products. It’s known for its balancing properties during PMS (pre-menstrual tension). It’s also useful for all skin types with an uplifting, calming scent. It has the ability to revitalize body tissue. Ginger Used in massage oil to relieve lower back and muscular pain. Grapefruit This fresh citrus scent is energising and uplifting. It’s a powerful antioxidant to nourish the skin. Jasmine This nocturnal white flower is known as ‘Queen of the Night” for its exotic scent and used as an aphrodisiac for centuries to attract love and balance the feminine energy. It’s also one of the most effective essential oils for anxiety and depression. It’s often used to treat dry and irritated skin.

By Shari

Lavender This oil calms the nervous system and is helpful for relaxation and restful sleep. Due to its antiseptic properties it’s used in many skin products. It’s safe to use undiluted and may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises and skin irritations. It’s also safe for pregnant women.

pet care

DOES YOUR DOG HAVE HIP DYSPLASIA? Hip dysplasia remains one of the commonest orthopaedic diseases of dogs that we see here in Bali at Sunset Vet. This is due to the unregulated nature of dog breeding in Indonesia, and almost total lack of hip scoring by breeders. Hip dysplasia is often confused with osteoarthritis of the hips in older dogs, which is incorrect; hip dysplasia is a developmental disease that can start within the first few weeks of life, whereas osteoarthritis is the consequence. Dogs with hip dysplasia usually fall into two categories when first being presented to the veterinarian for this condition: 1. When they are less than 12 months old, and pain arises due to the joint laxity, the key initiating factor in hip dysplasia. 2. When they are over 2 years old, and pain is due to osteoarthritis caused by the hip dysplasia. Between these two stages, symptoms often decrease. This is because the joint laxity causes thickening of the joint capsule and surrounding tissues, thereby restricting movement. Increased muscular support also helps to mask the symptoms by providing external support. It is well documented that developmental skeletal problems tend to occur in larger breeds of dogs, with force through the joint directly proportional to bodyweight. However, genes are not the only cause. Factors such as diet, bodyweight and exercise play a crucial role. It has been suggested that as few as 24% of young dogs with severe signs of hip dysplasia on Xrays will actually develop symptoms of the disease if managed appropriately with regard to the factors mentioned above. So, what are the signs to look out for? Symptoms may range from mild stiffness on getting up, or a reluctance to jump, to the classic wiggle seen as the dog rotates its pelvis as it is walking, to reduce the extension of the hip, which is painful. On examination by a veterinarian, younger animals may show increased joint laxity, essentially looseness of the ball (femoral head) in the socket (acetabulum). Older animals typically show reduced flexibility of the hip joints, with a grating sound produced on manipulation of the joint (crepitus) and muscle wastage of the hindlimbs. How is diagnosis confirmed by the veterinarian? 1. Clinical examination. Though joint laxity in the hips can often be felt with the dog conscious, it can be painful and therefore is best performed with the dog under general anesthetic or heavy sedation. This will also reduce the effects of muscle tension. There are 3 tests that vets can perform on the anesthetized dog to diagnose hip dysplasia: the Barlow test, the Bardens test and the Ortolani test. These tests invariably involve applying pressure and manipulating the hip in a certain direction to cause partial of full dislocation of the femoral head. 2. Xrays. Good quality, well positioned radiographs are required to assess hips for dysplasia and general anesthesia is a necessity to achieve this. If a dog is to be used for breeding in the West, it is often hip scored prior to doing so. This is often done in the absence of any symptoms at all, in perfectly healthy dogs. The radiographs are then sent off to the national Hip Dysplasia Scheme assessors for examination,

where the hip joints are scrutinized to predict the likelihood of the disease occurring. Unfortunately this is yet to become standard practice in Indonesia. My dog has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. What are the management options? This is relatively straightforward. Dogs can either be treated conservatively (without surgery) or surgically. Conservative management is NOT doing nothing, it should be a PROACTIVE option. A program should be designed for the individual dog to address weight control, exercise management, physiotherapy and pain control.

CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT 1. Weight Control Excessive weight should be prevented in puppies, and adults should be maintained at or below normal adult bodyweight. Simple weight reduction has been shown to result in a significant improvement in lameness in adult dogs with osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia. 2. Exercise Management A suitable level of exercise should be determined for each individual dog to maintain muscle development and fitness without exacerbating the clinical signs. Regular, low impact exercise is preferable to intermittent, vigorous exercise. Several short walks a day is better than a huge walk every other day! 3. Physiotherapy Hydrotherapy is an excellent form of exercise for obese, unfit and disabled animals. This is because the buoyancy the water provides helps overcome the effects of gravity, and muscles are worked out without placing too much force through the joints.

C/He/G-12 Oct. 16

4. Pain Control Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) work by blocking the formation of inflammatory mediators, which cause pain, specifically by blocking the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX 1 and COX 2. The most commonly used NSAIDs are carprofen and meloxicam (both available at Sunset Vet). 5. Nutraceuticals and cartilage protecting drugs These are slow acting, disease modifying drugs that may help to control osteoarthritis. Orally administered forms of glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate have been shown to improve joint function in humans. Whilst the exact mechanisms of osteoarthritis may differ between dogs and humans, anecdotal evidence suggests they are beneficial and they have become popular with many veterinarians. Above all, they cannot do harm so are often prescribed, despite the absence of hard scientific evidence in their favor. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT In Bali we only have the first of these options available. The goal is simply to take away the pain. 1. Femoral Head & Neck Excision This involves surgically removing the head and neck of the femur. Heavier dogs have a poorer outcome than lighter dogs. It tends to give very positive results in dogs less than 17kg in bodyweight. Obese dogs fare poorly. Younger, more active dogs can respond very well to this procedure.

2. Total Hip Replacement Not yet available in Indonesia, but associated with very good outcomes. Cost can be prohibitive, with this procedure costing several thousand dollars. The ideal candidate for a hip replacement is a well-trained, sensible, medium to large breed dog, which was previously active, and has a painful hip that is unresponsive to medication.

How High Can You Jump? It’s time to take those trampoline tricks and tumble turns to a whole new level. Gymnastics coach, gold medal gymnast and trampolinist and trainer to Cirque du Soleil and Nirtro Circus, Greg Roe is returning to Bali later this month to conduct another trampoline training camp right here at Bounce Bali. His high level of trampolining skill is almost unparalleled throughout the world and his workshops offer his unique brand of coaching to support kids to be their best. With a background in gymnastics from an early age, Roe focuses on form and technique in order to minimalise the risk of injury. He maintains the importance of building the correct skills from the outset so that students have a solid base from which they can develop their acrobatic skills, gaining even more height to their jumps and adding extra twists and turns safely. The training weekend is scheduled over three days from Friday November 25th until Sunday November 27th inclusively. The camp will include training and coaching sessions, physiology, psychology, risks and biomechanics of acrobatics and tricks, athlete development and nutrition.

Held in the entirely safe and secure environment of Bounce Trampoline Centre, coaches and staff will help all trick progressions ensuring safety and peace of mind. Sessions run from 9am until 5pm daily and all levels are welcome to join in the workshops. Participants have the opportunity to attend just one or all three of the days as well as a ‘sleepover’ at Bounce Bali on the Saturday evening, complete with bowling and pizza party at Strike Bowling to really get into the spirit of an athlete’s training camp! The sleepover is fully supervised by Roe and the trained team from Bounce. Kids can attend the sleepover only without having to participate in the sessions and there are meal packages available throughout the weekend for everyone to refuel and refresh. Following the camp there will be a Bounce Freestyle Competition on November 28th which is free for all camp participants (Rp200K for non campers) and an opportunity to showcase all of the new tricks and skills participants have learnt throughout their intensive training sessions! In addition to the group workshops on offer, Greg Roe is also available for hourly private trampolining tuition classes.

Fast Times, Fantastic Food and Family Fun the Order of the Day! As opposed to previous runs the 4km and 8km categories were the most popular with the 2km fun run mostly made up of excited juniors and a few ‘big kids’ such as myself! The 6am run registration didn’t seem to be any deterrent either with young and old turning out to compete. Runner’s numbers assigned and race shirts distributed, it was time for the competitors and supporters to make their way out onto the stunning Pan Pacific Resort grounds to prepare for the race. After a spirited warm up led by popular fitness professional and race organisers Yvette and Pete Manuel, competitors lined up at the start with the 8km contingent taking off first, followed by the 4km then 2km runners. It wasn’t too long before the first of the 2km runners were racing to the finish line with Sam Brampton crossing the line in 1st place. Close behind was the winner of the 4km i Nyoman Agus Erawan and Osias Kamlasi crossed the line for the 8km category in a very fast time of just over 30 minutes! It was another fabulous turnout for the Sunday October 29th E Series10 Family Fun Run at Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort and mother nature certainly turned on the best of weather! A cool and clear morning was the perfect precursor for a pre breakfast run and there were more than a few excited athletes ready to compete!

It was terriﬁc to see a large contingent of supporters from Indorunners and judging by the race results, regular training is certainly paying off! After the last of the race competitors had crossed the line, it was time for a warm down with a movement workshop with Superhero Factory’s, Tariq and then a sumptuous buffet breakfast.

Time to Tidy and Tone Before the Festive Season

Running on alternate dates to the camp lessons can be booked from November 22nd -24th and again on the 28th. Private tuition is Rp1.200,000++ per hour and you can book for more than one hour at a time if you wish. After the success of his last trampoline weekend at Bounce, this training camp is sure to be an even more popular event, especially considering the recent renovations at Bounce Bali. Following a brief closure last month for a mini overhaul, the island’s only indoor trampoline centre has reopened with even better facilities than before! Replacing the foam landing pit is a brand new air bag offering an even safer and more hygienic landing platform. Two more elite tramps have also been added in addition to an extra vertical running wall! With these new features already in place there’ll be further opportunity to test out new tricks and tumbles during the training weekend! Trampolining is somewhat of an extreme sport. In an effort to maintain safe training practices, spaces for the camp must be limited and, based on the popularity of the previous camp, spots will ﬁll fast. To register for camp sessions and to ﬁnd out more about the additional packages available throughout the weekend, contact the team at Bounce Bali Reception or book online at: bouncebali.com Don’t forget, Canggu Club members and JSA Gymnastics and Trampolining students enjoy 20% off camp tuition fees too!

As well as an opportunity for some early morning exercise and a family day out, the E Series fun run also raised funds for terrific local registered Yayasan, Project Protect, an initiative developed to provide helmets for local kids from local schools. Helmet Man made an appearance at breakfast to explain this great cause and proceeds from the silent auction held on the morning raised enough funds to supply another 350 new helmets for local school students! (For more information about this terrific initiative, like Project Protect Helmet Man on Facebook). The formalities and food over, runners and their families relaxed around the sensational pool and slide area of the Pan Pacific Resort to make the most of the stunning afternoon and enjoy a bit of well deserved RnR! As always, the day was a terrific success and one that would not have been possible without the continued support of major sponsors such as Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort, Club Car, Circle K Pronas and Bali Plus along with auction contributors, W Hotel, Ungasan Resort, Sunday’s Beach Club, Palau Cruises and Think Pink Nails. Stay tuned for the dates of next year’s E Series runs as they hope to schedule three for 2017! Always a fabulous family day out, the E Series Run is a chance for a little Sunday morning exercise in a safe and stunning locale! See you there next year!

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Plants to Purify the Air ‘Hi Dr. Kris, Love the information that you deliver. Just a quick question -have heard about using pot plants indoors to purify the air to reduce toxic contaminants. How effective do you think plants would be for removing toxins from the air, or freshening it up a bit, and are there any plants that you could speci¿cally recommend. Thanking you in advance. Regards - Bali Ben.’

products, carpets, cigarette smoke, natural gas, kerosene, waxed papers, tissues and paper towels, lacquers, varnishes, adhesives, even from paint to printers, and dry-cleaned clothes!

It has been said that the air inside our homes can sometimes be more polluted than the air outside....this would obviously depend on where you live and what you keep in your home of course!

Of the hundreds of toxic chemicals found indoors, NASA focused on three, -formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene (TCE), because they were considered most commonly found, and in greatest concentrations.

Dr. Wolverton’s solution to this dilemma was ‘If man is to move into closed environments, on Earth or in space, he must take along nature’s life support system’

Having plants indoors is always an improvement, as long as they’re looked after. Plants will make the house come alive with the colour of nature, but there are also practical bene¿ts to having indoor plants - such as the ability to freshen and clean the air. I think that any plant will do, and the more you use the greater the bene¿t. At the very least they will likely reduce stress levels due to their visual attractiveness.

Plants were found to be the key to purifying the indoor air of VOCs. They will effectively filter out the three toxins mentioned Air pollutants found in the home, known as volatile organic as well as carbon compounds (VOCs) can cause many types of illness. VOC’s monoxide. The are everywhere - they are the result of slow emissions from chemicals are synthetic household materials and products. Many of these metabolized and chemicals can cause allergic reactions, as well as cancer converted into and other forms of illness. In general, indoor air is likely to food for the be ¿ve to seven times more polluted with VOC’s than outdoor plant. Microair, because indoor air is stale and the toxins accumulate, organisms in the with or without air-conditioning. soil also filter toxic chemicals. I know that there was a list compiled as a result of research Plant filtered commissioned by NASA. The famous research by Dr. rooms will have 50 to 60 percent less airborne microbes, such Wolverton, an environmental scientist employed by NASA as mold spores, dust and bacteria than similar rooms without demonstrated that some very common plants can cleanse plants - (B.C. Wolverton and J.D. Wolverton, “Interior Plants: the air of the most common VOCs – I think this is what you Their InÀuence on Airborne Microbes Inside Energy-Ef¿cient have heard about! Buildings, Journal of the Mississippi Academy of Science, 1996, 41(3):99-105.) In 1973 NASA found over 300 VOCs in the Skylab III space station. When these chemicals are trapped without adequate Plants also have a bene¿cial psychological effect on humans. circulation, as was the case within Skylab - the inhabitants Research has found that people recover from illness faster in became ill. Around the same time in the 1970s building the presence of plants. construction became focused on energy ef¿ciency, and one of the best ways to achieve this was to construct buildings Dr. Lohr from Washington found that houseplants can reduce as air tight as possible. Combining this with the use of modern human stress and increase productivity - (Journal of synthetic materials, toxins became concentrated resulting in Environmental Horticulture, 1996, 14(2):97-100). There are illness and giving rise to the phenomenon known as Sick thousands of studies out there which demonstrate the positive Building Syndrome (SBS). health effects of indoor plants on humans, take your pick! In 1983 the United States EPA found more than 350 VOCs in homes for the elderly in Washington, DC. The EPA has done more studies since and now ranks indoor air pollution as one of the top ¿ve threats to public health. VOCs are released from anything from foam insulation to particle board or pressed wood products, plastic bags, household cleaning

Some of the plants high up on the list as effective indoor air puri¿ers are also commonly grown in pots and are well adapted to an indoor environment. Even better some of these plants are easy to ¿nd here in Bali, whether at the nursery or you might already have them growing in your garden or probably the one next door!

So what are the names of these common plants that are effective for ¿ltering the air? Off the top of my head I would recommend. Sansevieria – common names are mother in law’s tongue, or snake plant. It is a low growing succulent often found in villas, hotel and shopping mall gardens, due to its hardy nature and attractiveness as a border plant. Also a commonly used house plant here in Bali. Its foliage has attractive colours, textures and shapes. Rhapis excelsa - common names are raphis palm, lady palm, or lady ¿nger palm. It is a small palm that can be kept under a height of one metre in pots and is easily grown in small to medium sized containers. Well suited to indoors. This plant will grow in clumps so it is easy to divide it up and create new individual pot plants. It is also often seen as hedge and border plants in villas, hotels, malls and home gardens. Epipremnum aureum - common names are golden pothos or the money plant. This plant has attractive heart shaped foliage coloured green contrasted with a tinge of yellow. It is an attractive vine that can be grown up around window frames or other indoor structures. The vine is so proli¿c that once established you may have dif¿culty locating where it is actually growing from. A good one to use in the bathroom! Some of the other best air ¿ltering plants discovered by Dr. Wolverton are Aglaonema, Philodendron and Dracaena (Tri colour). These plants are all very attractive and generally easy to care for, whilst also ¿ltering the air in your living or working space. For plants to be used indoors they must tolerate shade or better still even love it! By introducing any sort of plant indoors, you are going to achieve a better level of air quality. One or two plants in an average sized room will be enough. Add them to your home or of¿ce, you will not only bring nature inside, but also create a happy and healthier indoor environment. If you are interested in finding out more about the Dr. Wolverton study, look for his book - ‘How to Grow Fresh Air: 50 Houseplants That Purify Your Home or Of¿ce’. In the book he explains how plants pull contaminated air down to the roots where it is then converted into food for the plant. The book has been translated into 12 languages. There is a list for the top 50 plants he recommends. They are rated based on their removal of chemical vapours and their ease of care. If you can’t ¿nd the book or would like a copy of the top 50 list please email me. So now that you know all of this, you will have to start gardening indoors as well as outdoors!

Say What? C/Ho/G-13 April 16

Question: I need to know how to fend off well-meaning questions from acquaintances about my semi-estranged dad. He’s a bipolar alcoholic, who is medication noncompliant. I grew up in an unstable, emotionally abusive home, which has left its mark on me. My mom was brave enough to divorce last year. Now, I’m finally getting therapy and facing my childhood demons. I’ve taken steps to limit contact with my dad, but I often have to deal with people who have no clue and ask after him because he was outwardly charming. I don’t know how to answer questions about him as I refuse to pretend everything is peachy. I do my best to be polite and don’t want to go into detail or risk more questions by saying I no longer talk to him. What advice can you give me for dealing with kindly but nosy acquaintances? Dr. ZZ: Bravo to you and your mom for picking up the pieces and getting on with your lives! From the sounds of it, you are taking all the right steps to heal. Meanwhile, it’s not your job to protect your father from what people think of him. It is also understandable that you don’t want to rehash everything that’s going on, or make people feel awkward for asking; but sometimes, it may be important for you to respond in a way that, rather than feel as if you have to preserve your dad’s reputation, gives an honest indication that all is not well without going into detail. A simple “Thanks, but we’re not in touch at the moment” and variations on that! You can then change the subject by asking the other person about themselves or by allowing a long, awkward pause, which lets them sense that they have stepped into uncharted waters. Depending on your mood and feelings

about the person who is asking, it is also okay to let the pause fester. You don’t have to justify it or explain why you’re not in touch. Just repeat a neutral phrase or two, and keep changing the subject until the person gets it and follows your lead or goes away. If they do neither, then you’ll just have to extract yourself. A quick escape to the lady’s room generally does the trick. Question: I have a hard time making and keeping friends. I seem capable of other relationships with my fiance and with casual acquaintances; but for a relationship other than lover or acquaintance, I have no idea how to speak in a way that is at least honest enough to really be myself without worrying that people will think I am pessimistic, a bore, a burden, or too blunt. I am afraid of talking about myself, but will inevitably feel crummy if all we do is talk about the other person. I am afraid of relying on anyone for anything except someone with a binding agreement that they will be there through sickness and health. I am afraid of assuming people want to hear from me or hang out with me, so I almost never ask. Maybe “fear” is too strong a word for all of this. I am not filled with anxiety, but there is definitely something holding me back. Are there any guidelines I could keep in mind when I’m casting about for things to say that won’t keep me up late at night out of shame? I want to be me, I want to be honest, but I don’t know where to stop and where to push ahead. Thanks! Dr. ZZ: You seem to be apologizing for not being capable of flawless happiness, as if that is a standard people hold you to. But perfectionism isolates and often goes hand-in-hand

with depression. The good news is you can be a blunt, depressed, pessimistic person and still have friends. You can also be a needy, geeky, crybaby weirdo, who is bad at small talk, and still have friends. There is no rule that says you have to achieve or promise to be witty and fascinating at all times and never talk about yourself before you are allowed to have love or friendship. Having friends is a lot like dating. Other people don’t owe you their friendship or attention, but - given time and exposure - they can potentially be fun to hang out with. Potential friends are everywhere. They may be students, travelers, locals, ravers, creatives, teetotalers, technocrats, married with kids, single, older than you think, younger than you think, louder, shyer, and so many other things that you may not yet expect. To find and make friends, you need only go where people are doing things you love, literally any place you would go for fun anyway. Then, introduce yourself a lot - or at least as much as you feel you can personally manage. Give compliments, ask advice, or be snarky if that’s your favorite persona. If the conversation flows, you may turn out to be friends; if the conversation stalls, you may not. The thing is: your first goal is not “to make friends.” Your goal is to meet a lot of people. They don’t have to be your friends right away – or ever. The entire extent of your relationship may be that one meeting, or maybe they’ll introduce you to someone who will become your friend. When you meet new people that you like, “friend-date” them until you either become friends or drift apart. Not everyone will want to be your friend, and you won’t want to be friends with everyone you meet either. When it happens, it will feel easy and effortless - like it did when you got to know your fiance.

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Greetings Musicnauts and welcome to another edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. Well other than getting bacterial pink eye and standing on a rusty nail and having the obligatory tetanus jabs life has been pretty good in Bali and the prospect of a new cold war with Russia looming up from the time fog has not seemed to dampen any ones spirits, the tourists keep coming and the Island expands en-mass. Which is bad news for Tolak Reclamassi enthusiasts but great news for the bars clubs and live music venues all over the island. Last issue I covered the end of one era and the beginning of another and the constant recycling of not only venues but also bands. This re-birth plays well with the ethos of the island as a whole. Ok so the big news in the music world is that Guns and Roses yep that incredible 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock outÂżt famous for their debauchery and kick ass guitar riffs courtesy of a man better known as Slash, are reformed and are coming to Perth at the end of February next year. Some of you will say big deal and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they always been touring, however the truth is the Guns have split up for a minimum of 10 years due to front man Axl Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal problems with Slash and other members of the band.

the guns keep em peeled. Guns and Roses will play in Perth Arena on Tuesday 21st of February and will be supported by the Angels and classic bearded Santa Claus lookalike contest winners ZZ Top. So I think its time for me to book a Ă&#x20AC;ight from Denpasar. So what is happening in Bali I hear you ask, well hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little look at some dates for your diary.

12-20 November 2016. Nusa Dua Fiesta 2016 is an the biggest annual event of various activities & performances at Peninsula Island - Nusa At one point the whole thing got so bad that Axl would Ă&#x20AC;y in a Dua, lots of live music from local and national Indonesian different plane than the band accompanied only by his spiritu- musicians. alist Taro woman Duff Mceegan. Slash and everyone else would be in a separate plane and probably felt like a different Julio Inglesias (world tour). band eventually after years of back biting and Axl generally Transevent & Sony Music Indonesia presents World Tour being strange the whole outÂżt to split in spectacular fashion. Julio Iglesias 2016, a special concert on Peninsula Island group and massive arguments were common place.

On one very famous TV interview in the mid 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Axl was asked who was in Guns and Roses at the current time. His reply: â&#x20AC;&#x153;well there is meâ&#x20AC;? caused uproar amongst the music community. The band had deÂżnitely gone their separate ways quotes from Axl at the time â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to be real private; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always want everyone around you - even when they like you.â&#x20AC;? And on playing shows in general he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could beat my mike stand into the stage, but I was still in pain. Maybe fans liked it, but sometimes people forget youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a person and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more into the entertainment value. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a long time to turn that around and give a strong show without it being a kamikaze show.â&#x20AC;? After the release of the infamous and disastrous Chinese Democracy album Axl went solo, retained the band name Guns and Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Whereas Slash went on to play with rock royalty like Motorhead and where (just to annoy Axl) they played some classic G & R tracks at massive festivals through out Europe and the States.

Two years ago the band was inducted into the legendary rock and roll hall of fame Ax declined to attend stating as the band was not playing together then it was not the band and that he The epitome of the excesses of the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Guns Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses was no longer a member of the group etc. Axl has always and their enigmatic front man Axl Rose, were catapulted to been the classic pre-Madonna singer / front man and has superstardom by the global success of their 1987 album made a name for himself by refusing to play gigs, walking out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Appetite for Destructionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which spawned hit singles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sweet on crowds, and Âżghting with the audience. But now after 3 Child Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Paradise Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Welcome to the Jungleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. failed marriages and a lot of law suits he is back and more With classic covers such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Live and Let Dieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Knockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; importantly so are they. The reformed line-up will be also on Heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but things became sour between the playing in Jakarta maybe shortly after so if you want to catch

in Nusa Dua, on Saturday, 12 November 2016. Peninsula Island, Nusa Dua Bali Ok guys that about wraps up this issue of Music Matters remember to go to the jungle and if not Perth then deÂżnitely Jakarta as there have been very few occasions as good as this to see Guns and Roses and be sure to check out any and all the local music events around the island. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m off to rebandage my wounded foot and catch the Melbourne cup live at the Canggu Club bar hopefully I can win enough to cover this hideous medical bill! Happy Halloween to all who celebrate it and maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch up with some of you for a birthday pint on Thursday. Until then keep it live and make it matter.

“Snake Oil Futures”

In the meantime did you know there’s a booming market for snakes. World production of snakes has increased 300% in the last four years and, as my financial adviser says, I should be getting into snake futures. They do have to be Chinese water snakes of course, rich in omega 3 acids. The oil of the Chinese water snake helps reduce inflammation and is good for treating arthritis, aches and pains. Enterprising people are finding new uses for snake oil everyday, it really is an incredibly adaptable product and the army of snake oil salespersons grows everyday. But beware, as we all have known since time immemorial, snake oil is never quite what it seems. There simply aren’t enough Chinese water snakes on the planet. In America they solved this problem by using Rattlesnakes (which are not rich in omega 3 acids) which, in 1917, lead to the famous case of Clark Stanley, the Rattlesnake King, whose snake oil was checked by the government and found to contain about as much snake oil as is found in the excretia of the average Kintamani dog. Snakeoil salesman Stanley went into the history books as the world’s most famous “grifter”. Beware of people bearing grifts. In spite of the fact that Mr Stanley was exposed in public snake oil seems to be in heavier demand than ever before. We come across it everyday of our lives. The island of Sumbawa used to be famous for its high quality honey until one day some smart arsed grifter started mixing sugar with water and managed to shoot not only himself but the whole industry in the foot. We all know about Indonesian bootleg liquor made from mosquito repellant, paint stripper, bayclean, rat poo and/or any other equally delicious ingredient to make a product that manages to kill 20 or 30 people at a time. These peddlers of serpentine turpentine are, however, mere amateurs. An embarrassing case in the news recently resulted in many hospitals and hundreds of children receiving totally ineffective vaccinations. A syndicate had operated for over ten years producing fake vaccines made from antibiotics and saline solution packaged in stolen vials with forged labels to reproduce expensive imported vaccines purporting to protect against tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria and hepatitis B. It is known that at least 28 healthcare facilities around the country were targeted (including in Jakarta and Bali). In recent months a highly enterprising character, one Dimas Kanjeng Taat Pribadi, was caught by the police and stands accused of swindling. It is said that he has a magic bag and if you put your money or gold into the bag it magically multiplies in value, he has a box that converts play money into real money and he can draw gold out of the ground. It seems hard to believe but thousands of people (including some highly educated ones) believed in the magic bag and handed over huge amounts of money. He operated for more than 8 years and no one knows how much money he managed to swindle but many people have said they handed over hundreds of billions of Rupiah. Greed and snake oil form a potent mix. At a more local level we have to be constantly on our guard. We all know about the dubious characters carrying “official” letters that come and inspect our gas regulators, tell us they are no good and sell us a new one that never seems to work very well. Then there are the people who pose as representatives from the local banjar and knock on our doors asking for payments. When people enter our premises we need to have our wits about us. If they are not people we know, people we have an established relationship with, we need to check who they are and what their business is. Ask questions and be observant.

The simple task of mixing concrete is a typical example. Adding soil to the sand to save money, using less cement in the mix (cement is expensive), reducing the size of the reinforcing steel and throwing in some soft, cheap rock to replace the good stuff. Adding lots of water to make it easier to pour. These behaviours make the concrete a lot weaker.

Email : mano@mrtrusted.asia www.mrtrusted.asia C/Ns/G-11 May 16

So, to avoid these problems, we order premixed concrete in a transit mixer only to find that on the journey between the batch plant and your house the driver has taken a detour, sold off a quarter of the truckload on the side, then made up the difference by adding water. Instead of 5 cubic metres of good stiff concrete you end up with 3.5 cubic metres of suspiciously runny stuff.

WOODEN BLINDS

25mm, 35mm & 50mm

Bricks that are not fired properly, wood that is of a cheaper species or is not seasoned, paint that has been mixed with water or blended with cheaper paint, tiles that are second quality, stainless steel that mysteriously rusts, the snake oil list goes on and on. Of all the scams that have and are still being perpetrated on a daily basis probably the worst for ordinary people are those regarding property. Transactions that, at the end of the day, turn out to be not what they seemed. Over the past two decades probably thousands of people have handed over large sums of money to buy property under nominee ownership arrangements. Now, with financial monitoring, the proverbial chickens are on their way home for a jolly good roosting session. Sadly many good honest people are finding themselves with problems while the snake oil salesmen who talked them into such deals are long gone with big fat wallets. So how do we protect ourselves:

• Wooden Blinds 25mm, 50mm, 35mm • Bamboo Blinds • Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds • Vertical Blinds, Aluminium Blinds • Exterior Blinds, Plastic Transparant • Curtain, Blackout, Sheer • Sliding Doors - Shutter Window • Natural Carpets ( Seagrass, Banana Fiber, Pandanus ) • Sun Louvre - Awning • Magnetic Insect Screen • Umbrellas • Flooring, Decking (BKR, Merbau, Iron Wood) • Folding Insect Screen Door

It is, however, important to note that there is no change to the law that says foreigners cannot own land in Indonesia and that nominee ownership arrangements to get around this law are considered illegal.

When we are having houses or businesses built or maintained we must constantly look out for the charlatans. It is often difficult to keep track of the many tricks that are played, there is always a new angle, a new form of snake oil.

Petitenget

What this means as that Indonesians already married to foreigners but who do not have a prenuptial agreement can now make a contract separating ownership and this will allow the Indonesian to own property. Note that the contract is necessary to nullify local laws that state that in a marriage all assets are of shared ownership. This is good news for those who married an Indonesian and bought property without realising they needed a prenuptial agreement. Our thanks go to the wonderful people of PerCa (the mixed marriage organisation) for fighting and winning this battle (see http://www.percaindonesia.com).

There have been reports of people posing as policemen to gain access to premises or to demand payments. Note that policemen can only enter your premises if you give them permission.

Denpasar

There is good news for expatriates married to Indonesian citizens. On Thursday 28th October 2016 the constitutional court ruled that the need for a prenuptial agreement (which, of course, has to be made before marriage) to allow Indonesian citizens in mixed marriages to own property is unconstitutional.

It is always a good trick to ask a person’s name and write it down. If in doubt take a photograph of them and observe their reaction. Here are some more steps we can take: • Don’t rush into things. • Check out the people you are dealing with, if an Indonesian get a copy of their KTP (identity card), if a foreigner get a copy of their Kitas and work permit. No document - no deal. • Be very wary of lawyers, accountants and tax agents there are lots of good ones but also lots of bad ones who have spent their lives learning how to work dodgy systems. Check that they are qualified and licensed. • Before handing over money go to a notary and make a legal agreement, this applies to any reasonable amount including land or property purchase, lease agreements and any deposits for either. • Beware of oily statements that have a snake like smell and would be hard to confirm or seem a bit too good to be true such as “morning price” or “no commission”. • If dealing with a company make sure they exist, I know two Indonesians who gave $20,000 to the well known fraudulent international gold mining syndicate. • Use reputable brands and check that they are marked with the brand name. • Build ongoing relationships, if people are not doing the right thing you will find out over time. • Do not hand over money unless you are sure the goods or service will be delivered. Paying by credit card rather than cash can provide you with a certain amount of protection. • Carry out due diligence on assets to be acquired.

Let’s face it snake oil represents a far better investment than land these days the price of which is plummeting across Bali. Falls of 25% to 30% are being reported and recently 4 are of land in Renon that cost Rp. 900 million per are only 18 months ago was sold for Rp. 500 million an are. With the noose tightening on nominee ownership, a tax amnesty heralding far closer scrutiny of assets and financial dealings and increasing restrictions on the issuing of Kitas’s buyers are becoming fewer and farther between.

ROOTS

I’ve recently returned from yet another family visit to Canada. Since moving to Asia in 1990 I’ve made this journey about 35 times but this one was different. I’ve lost my father and a sister now. My nuclear family is reduced to my youngest sister and my elderly mother. As I embraced them at the airport I suddenly realised that I was holding my entire family. My personal lineage is coming to an end. Perhaps that’s why I landed back in Bali with a renewed interest in my roots. I pulled out the big, messy handwritten genealogy chart I’d been casually compiling over the years which I call The Begats. Then I started mining the internet genealogy sites to fill in the blanks and see if I could push the boundaries back past five generations. I was examining a century-old, hand written marriage certificate on the computer screen with a magnifying glass when Wayan Manis leaned over my shoulder her broom in hand. I showed her The Begats and together we traced the lineage through my grandmother to great grandmother to her mother, where the trail grew cold.

“We’re not interested,” Wayan Manis explained, puzzled at my fascination with my ancestors. Most of them hadn’t even been cremated, much less deified. If I wasn’t going to pray to them, why was I going to all this trouble? With diligence and luck, those of English or Scottish extraction can burrow back about 500 years. Church parishes began keeping formal handwritten records of christenings, marriages and deaths in 1538, but only in 1874 did the registration of births become compulsory. Much of that data has been scanned and is available on government and private websites. It’s quite addictive to start tracking down The Begats. I can’t help wondering why Mary Ann, at 20, married a man twice her age in 1864 when all my other ancestors married their contemporaries. On my mother’s side, one great grandmother ran off to Australia with a neighbour in a juicy cloud of scandal. Another had no birth certificate, although all her other seven siblings did; more scandal. Inconvenient babies were often absorbed into a relative’s family in those days.

Whole families in early Canada lived in cabins not much bigger than this while hacking livelihoods out of the dense forest. Wayan was astonished by my quest. She’d only known one of her grandmothers and had no information about her family before that. Some communities in Bali keep written or oral family records but many did not. Wayan has no idea of her roots and really could care less. Under questioning, she told me that there were clan records called Babad Pasek for the Sudra caste in each temple, in which some of the early family ancestors of the were listed. Only the priests could read the script. Her husband had heard some of his lineage being read during a ceremony when his son was born 18 years ago but doesn’t remember any of it. She had clearly never given the issue much thought; although she prayed to the ancestors on principle, it wasn’t important to know the individuals by name. “Generally speaking Balinese people do not have nor keep genealogical records,” Ketut Yuliarsa told me. “The ancestral lineage of common people is determined by social groupings or clans.” “People rely on oral information, and many people have little information about their ancestors beyond three or four generations,” confirmed Diana Darling. “This might be because of turmoil in the mid-20th century or earlier migrations or caste contestation during Dutch rule.” The Indonesian government took its first census in 1961; there are few records before that.

about three by four meters. The space was completely filled by two beds, a small wood stove and a box of firewood. The front walls opened onto a narrow porch for the summer, which it wasn’t. The ablutions block was a dark hike through the rain. The cabin was just a playful taste of life in the Olden Days. It was a little uncomfortable and inconvenient but our lives were hardly on the line; a cosy lodge through the woods offered warmth, shelter, food and company (but no wifi). We eventually remembered how to light a fire in a wood stove and keep it going. There really wasn’t enough light for reading so we went to bed early. Lying in the dark while the fire crackled quietly nearby, I tried to imagine what everyday life must have been like for the early settlers. Whole families in early Canada lived in cabins not much bigger than this while hacking livelihoods out of the dense forest. And this was the temperate west coast. William and Elizabeth lived in Ontario where winters are long and hard. They would have had to kill or grow most of their food and chop cords of wood keep the family warm and the food cooked in the winter. With abstinence as the only form of birth control, families were inevitably large. What about all the diapers? How on earth did women wash and dry the bulky woolen clothes of the era in the winter? Every drop of water had to be carried from a creek or melted from snow. Just keeping the family clean and fed was an exhausting, full time job for the wife. But people in those new Canadian farms and settlements, although miles apart, were tight communities. They rallied around to build and repair houses, relied on each other during illness and childbirth and offered food and support during hard times. They were like banjars, in a way, with a culture of gotong royong when a barn needed building.

My great great great grandfather William Wheeler married a woman named Elizabeth Secord in Ontario in 1848. These were hardy people. It was a time of expansion and exploration; rural land was cheap or even free if you built on it right away. In that climate there was a window between about June and September in which the house had to be built and made habitable for winter. Over that time and using only simple tools land was cleared, trees felled and milled, walls erected, the crucial fireplace built, a roof put on, enough wood cut for the winter and a supply of food and water secured. It sounds easy if you say it fast. The reality must have been grueling. There was huge pressure to get it all done in a few months with men, women and children alike working through all weathers and sleeping in tents. If you didn’t get it right, you starved or froze and your incompetent DNA died with you. Recently my sister and I spent two nights in a tiny, simple cabin in the woods by the sea on Vancouver Island. With plank walls and floor and a cedar shingle roof, it measured

We all came from somewhere else, if you go back for enough. Just as my ancestors migrated to Canada from Scotland and England, I’ve migrated to Indonesia. Yes, I have the DNA to chop wood and melt snow to survive in the frozen north. But my lineage is going to end right here under the palm trees with a gamelan playing in the distance. And you know, I think William and Elizabeth would be just fine with that.

The Frugal Balinist *Food tips. According to the New York Times (Oct16), mercury can be harmful for pregnant women and small children. Though experts maintain that ¿sh remains preferable to red meat, avoid mercury by skipping ikan todak (sword¿sh), ikan hiu (shark) and ikan kembung (mackerel) that accumulate high levels of the element. *Have you ever wondered why most Indonesians are instantly able to tell why any type of a banana is ripe by just looking at it? *Beans and other legumes (lentils, black beans, etc.) are a good, low cost source of protein. Baby food can be made from beans by cooking them well, peeling off their skins and mashing them. Red beans, known for their ¿rmness and smooth texture, a good source of soluble dietary ¿ber and high in protein, cost only Rp20,000/ kg on Bali.

of¿cial report or investigate a theft; i.e. a goat is worth 15 times more than a chicken.

*Traveler’s aids: Stay awake while driving by putting one hand in the air, eating a crunchy apple, chewing gum, opening the windows, wetting your face, running the a/c super cold, putting your seat in an uncomfortable position or listening to music you can’t stand. *So you don’t have to read text messages while driving, ask Siri on an iPhone to “Read my new messages” aloud; you can also dictate a reply without taking your eyes off the road. For Android phones, download the free ReadItToMe app that offers the same features. *To read signs, instructions, maps and menus written in Indonesian and 84 other languages, install the free Google Translate app on your iPhone or Android phone. Now you can type it, speak it, write it with your ¿nger or take a photo of the Indonesian words and Google Translate will instantly translate the word or words into your language. The app also allows you to download foreign language dictionaries to your phone so that you can still ¿nd the meanings of words and phrases when there is no Internet connection.

*Photo tips. You don’t have to copy your jpeg ¿les onto a

*Affordable beverages. Instead of buying expensive Buavita fruit juices (Rp27,000 and up), drink strong tea made from peppermint, a spice you can simply grow in pots. Or order masala chai tea (cardamom, fennel, cinnamon, star anise) from www.teabox.com that mails their products from India right to your door in Bali. Mix the masala chai tea with loose Java tea in the bright orange square paper packages with the tea inside foiled containers (Rp11,000). Or mix cinnamon tea with apple juice to make a nice cold drink. Sadly, no tea grown in Indonesia is truly organic in spite of the “natural” sales pitches. Or make your own fruit juices. At traditional markets, Malang apples (Apel Malang) cost only Rp15,000 to Rp20,000/ kg; carrots (wortel) only Rp5,000/kg. Just two oranges (jeruk minuman), at only Rp6,000/kg, make one full glass of orange juice after adding sugar and water to taste.

*Tech deals. The new fast Smartfren AndroMax M3Y 4G modem works for your whole house network, plus it is highly portable, thin and featherweight. Costs Rp399,000 (Rp299,000/ modem + 100,000/¿rst month). Sold in the Smartfren box with the slick little USB modem inside. These new 4G modems are able to permeate even Bali’s remote locales like Penebel in Tabanan. After you use up the initial 49 GB provided, you move onto a 21 GB monthly plan for Rp.100,000. There is a option of 2 unlimited plans: Rp155,000 for 16 GB/monthly or Rp105,000 for 8 GB. Both run for the full month, but after the quota is used up, the speed is at turtle slow. Use your Telkom USB Modem or other modem during the test period. *Skype charges, but Line (http://line.me/id/) and BBM (https://www. bbm.com) are free messaging, video, chat and voice call services.

Àash drive and take it to a toko foto to get them printed. Just get their email address and email them your jpeg ¿les as attachments. Get their phone number and a contact person so you can call to verify that the photo shop has received them and designate your size over the phone. *Same hour or same day printing may be more costly than ordering your photos to be picked up in 3 days. Always ask for Harga Special as it could mean the difference between paying the normal price of Rp2100 per 4 R photo and a special price of only Rp1700 per 4 R photo. Quantity discounts are also given; a photo shop can print 100 photos in one hour. *For portrait and wedding packages, a photography agent’s website often only displays the master photographer’s work, but it is an assistant or staff photographer of the company that does the actual photography at an event. Their work does not match the skill, artistry and overall quality of the master who started the business. Some studios also show awards and memberships on their websites that have been presented by photography associations. These are often only the awards and memberships of only one of the company’s photographers. Lastly, always make sure that the photographer who will personally photographing your wedding will be the same one whose work is displayed on the studio’s website. *Many photo shops offer large black and white vintage 20 R prints of Bali during 1920s and 1930s at reasonable prices of Rp250,000 for canvas prints and Rp120,000 for paper prints. Pay Rp28,000 extra to laminate paper prints so that they last longer).

For zipper backpack repairs or handbag zipper repairs, go to a shoe repair shop (sol sepatu) that will replace it with a heavy-duty zipper for only around Rp20,000Rp25,000. *For the VIP service for arrivals at Denpasar airport, they come out onto the tarmac, meet you as you come off the plane, process all your documents, hold your hand through imigrasi, collect your luggage from the carousel and usher you out to the front to your waiting car. All for $50 per person. It’s worth it! So very civilized! *Lapor ayam hilang, kambing pun hilang. “Report a lost chicken and it may well result also in a lost goat.” In other words, you have more to lose if you report a crime to the police who want money to type up an

big wholesale distribution centers for commodities purchased directly from the farmer or producer and sold at very low prices: Pasar Dauhpala in Tabanan specializes in ¿sh and vegetables; Pasar Jimbaran in fresh ¿sh; Baturiti in Banjar Kembang Merta in the Bedugul area for vegetables, fruits and flowers. Denpasar’s Kambasari (Pasar Badung) specializing in meat and Àowers burnt down and now has moved to the old Tiara Grosir location east of the busy Ubung intersection. *Everything is cheaper in the shops and restaurants on the other side (not the sea front side) of Jl. Bypass in Sanur. *Smaller pasar desa (village markets) open earlier than city markets. City traders (pedagang) show up while still dark at pasar desa to buy produce to sell at a pro¿t at city markets. They in turn bring incense, ramen, krupuk, kecap sauce and whatever else they think they can sell to country market traders. *Because they don’t pay rent nor use middlemen, vendors on foot or set up on sidewalks outside of traditional markets sell their goods cheaper than sellers inside; i.e. big

pumpkins for Rp12,000; large bunch of garlic leaves Rp3000, etc. *Make your ¿nal offer an hour before closing time as sellers are eager to make one last sale before closing and it means they have less to pack up.

*Warung realities. Afraid that they would lose money if fresh ¿sh goes bad, it’s common even in Bali’s seaside warung and restaurants to serve frozen ¿sh. *Be aware that many warung use recycled oil (minyak bebas) that the buy in 100 liter containers from vendors who collect it from hotels and chain restaurants. Halal is questionable as some of the oil has been used to cook pig. *When eating in a local warung, bring your own plate and utensils as washing tableware involves a perfunctory dip in a murky gray water bucket with food debris Àoating around in it. Or bring your own Aqua bottle to rinse those items. *A satisfying sure bet is Javanese-style foodstalls called Warung Lalapan that serves rice, fried chicken or ¿sh, sambal and raw vegetables (cabbage, cucumber, kemangi or hoary basil). *For the freshest Balinese-style meals in markets, look for signs Babi Guling (roast suckling pig), Lawar Klungah (vegetarian spiced young coconut dish with kacang panjang or long beans) and Lawar Kuwir (Moskovy Duck lawar with spicy soup). MSG not used.

*Driving wisdom. Better to use your brakes than to brake your car with your engine as it puts too much stress on the engine; brake pads are a lot cheaper than a new clutch or transmission. *To avoid rear end collisions, use the 3-second distance rule: Mentally choose a ¿xed point that’s alongside the car in front of you, such as a sign or tree; if you reach that point before you count to three-one-thousands, you’re too close to the car in front of you (increase that distance even more if driving under wet or very dark conditions). *Hang a tennis ball on a string from your garage ceiling so that it touches your windshield as you drive your car into exactly the right spot. *Online transport operators Grab, Uber and GoCar on Bali offer fares far below the of¿cial rates set by taxis or show on taxi meters. *Among Indonesian cities, Denpasar (ranking #183) ranks the very worst for driving by the popular online driving application Waze. By contrast, Bandung ranks #182, Surabaya #181 and Jakarta ranks #178. *Use bright, distinct long lasting nail polish to color-code the heads of your keys to save you time fumbling with your key ring. *Motorcycles are the quickest and easiest way to get around Denpasar but do require extraordinarily defensive driving skills: move around and make space for the other guy and go with the Àow; signals mean little and people will still try to pass you; if you see a motorcycle without mirrors, be careful because the driver can’t see you in his rear.

*Aussie Expat TV (tel. 62-855-7467-9094 or website www. aussieexpat.tv) is a new Australian live streaming service based in Jakarta that enables subscribers to watch live or on demand Australian TV content that has previously not been available for viewing on Bali. The high quality content can be viewed on Windows, Mac and Android devices and can even function on relatively low bandwidth. There are basically two main packages - various Australian TV channels and/or Foxtel sports channels. Most programs streamed at HD quality. Depending on the number of channels, costs range from Aus$25 to Aus$40 per month. This is fairly expensive, but the features are great - you can pause stuff, watch later, download, etc. However, you get all the commercial ads as well, which can drive you crazy just as they do when watching TV in Australia. After signing up for a free trial, you’ll receive a con¿rmation email with links to download the software. It might take several weeks settling issues with non-working links and codes, downloading the proper software, missed emails and back and forth phone calls before you’re eventually up and running.

The people of Indonesia espouse very nationalistic attitudes, and considering that nationalism is taught in schools from day one is hardly surprising really. There are also plenty of national holidays, and a plethora of regional ones – particular in Bali with its cycle of never-ending ceremonies – which are celebrated both publicly and privately across the archipelago. Many of these holidays are also celebrated by Indonesians overseas, but of course in a watered-down form and using the often limited resources they have outside of their country, and more commonly in private. This doesn’t mean that celebration has to be done with less fervor. A common way to celebrate ‘Indonesian-ism’ overseas is for an Indonesian representative body (an embassy, consulate or consul general) to create a special event. This could be for Independence Day, Idul Fitri, Christmas, Waisak or even Galungan. Some representatives focus on Indonesia’s speci¿c relationship to the country they are based in – for example, the number years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I just returned from visiting Europe where I accompanied my wife, Putu Evie, and the Sangasari Dance Troupe from Jakarta-based Bengkel Ayu Bulan that was completing a one-month tour of Europe. They visited four countries (Germany, Holland, Macedonia and Bulgaria) to perform the nine Balinese dances which have been acknowledged and An “Indonesia Night” event in Macedonia Last Month protected by UNESCO as intangible world heritage (I will detail these in the next issue of Kulture Kid). The Indonesian population of each of these countries demonstrated that even overseas they are not only extremely proud of their art-forms but also miss these aspects of Indonesia, even if the art-form (in this case, Balinese dance) is not part of the regional culture they may identify with back home. I have to say, even though I’m not (yet) an Indonesian citizen (I’m leaving it at permanent resident for now until this country eventually recognizes dual citizenship for adults, as a New Zealand passport is too valuable to give up); and even though I’m personally antinationalist but think the human should think of themselves as global and eventually inter-planetary citizens, I can’t help feeling proud of the way these Indonesian communities get together to support – and in some cases, participate – in these celebrations. It should serve as an example of the ideal tolerance that in today’s Indonesia, particularly politically and religiously, seems to be constantly challenged.

Now as reigning Asian champions, the club is looking to strengthen and become a genuine powerhouse in AFL Asia.

Food Glorious Food Delicious International Dishes

(Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) By Ayu Spicy - 1 tsp. parsley, finely chopped - 1 Tbl. capers, chopped - salt and freshly ground pepper to taste - 2 slices of smoked salmon or other smoked fish - 1 Tbl. fennel or dill fronds, broken into small branches - 8 capers for garnish Directions:

Because I have a pet chicken, my sister gifted me with this plate for stuffed eggs. Naturally I had to come up with a recipe fit for such a cute serving dish! These eggs not only look great but taste delicious too - they go fast so make extra.

Stuffed Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Fennel Serves 4 Ingredients: - 4 hard-boiled eggs, shells removed - 1 Tbl. mayonnaise - 1 tsp. Dijon mustard - 1- 2 tsp. lime juice - 1/8 tsp. tabasco - 1 shallot, finely chopped

Carefully cut each egg in half and with a spoon scoop the yolks into a small bowl. Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tsp. lime juice and the tabasco. When this is well mixed stir in the chopped shallot, parsley, capers, salt and pepper. Taste and add more lime juice, salt and pepper for your taste. I like these to be a bit tart. With a spoon fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture dividing it evenly. Slice the salmon into squares (this does not have to be exact or neat) and roll into cylinders topping each egg half with a cylinder. Slide in a fennel or dill frond and top with a caper. Gorgeous and delicious!

Restaurant Review

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

Kapow! DD Warung is Thai. For many years there have been small warungs in the lanes between Kuta and Legian with Thai dishes on their menu, some are close to the original and others nothing like it. This warung cooks Thai, Thai! I often bristle when a waiter in a western Thai restaurant asks me if I want the food cooked ‘spicy’ [they mean with chilli, but in fact many spices are sweet?]. I always answer that I want it ‘Thai’. Well, at DD Warung I apologise. Here if you say spicy, then …KAPOW! You are hit with the full force, of a temperature not much less than what you would expect in Laos or over the border in the Isaan province of Thailand. So, for some dishes, a request for ‘medium’ is very acceptable from us ‘farangs’. Of course not all Thai dishes use chilli, and only a very few use much chilli, a common misconception. The balanced Thai meal should be a selection of totally different dishes. Kra Pao Moo is Thailand’s most common all-day, any day, snack. Supposedly what any Thai grandmother offers her visiting grandchildren on arrival. Krao Pao means basil, and it can be with minced pork [moo] or chicken [gai], stirfried with fresh basil….and chillies! Whilst I love this dish I admit I had to hide my quickly sweating brow, next time I will meekly ask for medium. However the Kra Pao at DD is amongst the best I have ever tasted, even though mine was laced with chillies. Even the mandatory fried egg is ‘flash-fried’ Thai style, the white crisp and crunchy whilst the yolk is still with a soft centre. The egg sits on a serve of rice [pictured]. Yum Pla Duk Foo is another very common traditional Thai dish that is rarely found in Bali. Fresh water catfish [in Indonesia, ‘Lele’] is steamed then cooled. Just before serving the pieces of fish are dropped into a very hot wok, the result is that the fish explodes! The fish on the plate now looks as if it has been minced. As with all Thai dishes, balance is the key. The crumbly fish is topped with green mango salad, a perfect match. Again, at DD, 100%! Pad Thai is probably one of Thailand’s best known dishes. It just means noodles that are cooked Thai style. Whilst normally just a vegetarian dish [egg noodles], Pad Thai Gai is with chicken added, and there is also a seafood version available here. This is probably the simplest dish in Thai

cuisine, but still one of the best. Another simple dish and one that I often enjoy for a light lunch, or as an accompanying dish, is the Thai Omelette. Kai Jiew Moo Saap is minced pork [or chicken] beaten with egg, fish sauce and a little soy, the result a light fluffy omelette.

QUICK REVIEW Restaurant

: DD Warung.

Pad Prik Bung Nam Man Hoy has earned itself the strange title of Morning Glory, no doubt during R&R leave for the American forces during the Korean and Vietnam wars. A stirfried vegetarian dish with garlic, chilli and oyster sauce it was no doubt eaten for breakfast after a heavy night’s drinking, although the title in reality often refers to something else.

Address

: Jln. Batur Sari, Sanur.

Telephone

: 081.339.265.156.

Open

: Lunch from 11.00 [Mon to Fri]

Curries are an integral part of any Thai menu. With the striving for perfection at DD they only prepare one main curry on any one day, and that is for the dinner service only. The curry menu is Panang Curry on Fridays, Yellow Curry on Mondays and the wonderful aromatic Massaman, from the South of Thailand, on Wednesdays. However you can enjoy a green curry, any day, for lunch or dinner, Gaeng Keow Wan Gai, chicken with eggplant, Bamboo shoots and coriander sprigs.

Smoking Area

: Yes.

Parking

: Street only.

Air Conditioned

: No.

Price

: Rp. 200,000 for two [+ drinks].

Credit Cards

: Visa, Mastercard.

Food

: Traditional Thai.

Pad Pet is a very mild but flavoursome dish. The base of seafood, pork or chicken is cooked with basil, lime, thyme and a little chilli. Another fresh stir-fry with only a little chilli is Gai Pad King, chicken with much grated ginger, tossed with onions, mushrooms and oyster sauce.

Wine

: Beer only, BYO Wine.

Service

: Friendly, knowledgeable.

Atmosphere

: An eating house.

Overall

: Incredible value!

Dinner from 5.30 [Mon to Sat] Non-smoking Area : No.

Traditional cuisines are very regional and often have varying ‘authentic’ recipes. Such was the case with their Kai Med Ma Muang [Chicken Cashew], no burnt chilli or any chilli at all but many healthy vegetables [broccoli, tomato, baby corn, onion and fungus] as well as the chicken strips and cashew nuts. Those classic Thai soups, the hot and sour Tom Yum Goong and the under-rated ambrosial Tom Kha Gai [chicken with galangal and lemongrass in coconut milk] are there. Thais do not order what we call entrees as a part of a restaurant meal. Rather they are the world’s ultimate ‘snackers’, rarely able to pass through a street food area without stopping for a minute or two to select and eat something. Such entrees here at DD are possibly the least attractive items on the menu. Perhaps they are for farangs only. The Chicken Wings are OK but hardly Thai fare, the Spring Rolls, far more Indonesian Lumpia style with their crisp but thick wonton wrapping, were for me the sole failure on the menu. But if 19 out of 20 is not good enough I do not know what is? Not only are the dishes served here at DD Warung very traditional Thai, they are also very inexpensive, most items under Rp.60,000. For added value the serves are quite large, certainly large enough ti share between 2-3 people, which after all the ultimate way to enjoy Thai cuisine. A great find, not by me but by Jack Daniels who first mentioned DD Warung in his Bali Update, for which I will be eternally grateful. It has immediately become a regular lunch spot for me, what more can I say?

Update BC Steakhouse has opened on Jln. Raya Petitenget. It has evolved from the Butchers Club that has been operating on these premises for the past year and it is a high temple for the beef-lover! Renovated and updated [air-conditioned inside] it reverts to the group’s successful formula in Hong Kong. High quality imported Angus beef is dry aged on the premises, the prime cuts are used for the steaks, the others for their amazing burgers which are still available. During the aging process a hard and mouldy crust forms on the outer surface which both protects the meat on the inside from harmful bacteria, and at the same time helps to develop the wonderful flavour of the beef, a truly unique product. The steaks can be Rump [300 gms., dry aged for 21 days], Rib Eye [350 gms., 35 days] or a Rib Chop [pictured], big enough for two persons @ 800 grams, also dry aged for 35 days. All are served with fries, salad and your choice of sauce; peppercorn jus, horseradish cream, beer mustard or chimichurri. The burger range includes the famous dry aged beef [single or double patty], pork belly, fish or vegetarian. They also offer Surf & Turf, strip loin beef with a slipper tail lobster. For the non-beef fraternity there is a BBQ Chicken [half, flattened, Porto style], Grilled Seafood or a Mushroom Pasta. Massimo has become a Sanur institution. His Jln. Danau Tamblingan restaurant in Sanur is constantly full of diners, the gelato stand at front forever busy. However the ever-smiling Massimo has never been one to rest on his laurels. Not satisfied with dominating the Bali gelato market, he has continually developed more quality product such as his gluten-free pasta. The Italian breads that he bakes every morning in the wood-fired oven are so popular that if not pre-ordered latecomers find them already sold out. Included in this range are two brown breads [Casareccio and Pagnotta]. Unlike most brown breads these two contain ZERO white flour as the bread mix, an import from Germany, goes through a 48 hour process before the final baking….great for diabetics but they still can not be considered 100% gluten-free as the mix is rolled on white flour. Now Massino is also producing Italian Cheese, almost all of the traditional ones found in his home county of Lecce; Mozzarella, Nodini, Burrata, Caprino, Pecorino, Caciotta and Scamorza Affumicata. Some of the cheeses are available fresh or aged. Massimo’s has become an Italian Food Emporium!

Ubud Rotary is holding their annual fundraiser Christmas Dinner at The Maya Resort on Sunday December 4. It begins at 6.00 p.m., and costs Rp. 550,000 p.p. [Rp.450,000 for all KTP holders and only Rp.275,000 for children Under 13]. The extensive buffet includes: Smoked Turkey, stuffing and gravy with vegetables, pumpkin soup, garden and cranberry salads. There is also a Vegetarian pasta dish and a variety of other vegetarian dishes, Christmas Log and Strawberry Cookies. A monster raffle is being held to further raise funds [prizes include spa packages and dinners at major Ubud restaurants], one ticket is included with every entry, extra tickets can be purchased. Rotary does many great things in the Ubud area. Current projects include providing health care, safe drinking water and sanitation at Balinese schools. Prior reservation is essential, call The Maya @ 977-888 Ext. 1401. Payment can be with credit card.

Le Bon Vivant opened in Sanur [Jln. Danau Tamblingan] last year as a predominantly French restaurant [a little brother to famous Jakarta restaurant, Le Quartier]. The subsequent arrival of Italian Exec Chef Mirko has seen an increase in Italian cuisine appearing on their menu. Le Bon Vivant is now open for lunch, 7 days. Whilst the full menu is available a new short luncheon menu is also on offer. For your Gougeres Farci choose 3 from Italian White Ham [artichoke, balsamic], Jamon Serrano [apricot chutney, parmesan], Duck Rillettes [cornichon, black olive], Camembert [eggplant caviar, rocket] and Blue Cheese [beetroot, walnuts, truffle oil]. A late breakfast then enjoy a real French Omelette, Scrambled Eggs or an authentic Egg Benedicte [poached egg, served on an English muffin]. Italian is also to the fore with some classic pasta, pizzas [thin crust] and Schiacciatine [thin crust flat bead sandwich] the Toscana. Burgers find their way on to almost every menu, here there is even a Paris Burger [white ham, egg and dijon]. Le Bon Vivant presents sheer quality in a street of many warungs.

Kamisana is Japanese, and is found on Jln. Danau Buyan in Sanur. It is a small well designed restaurant [air-con inside, covered smoking terrace at front] with a frighteningly large menu that covers just about every area of Japanese cuisine. The actual menu is in fine print [bring your bi-focals] with a few of those Bali English specials; Sewed Salad, Chicken Stik Fingers, etc. Standard dishes such as Sushi & Sashimi, are available by individual orders or in mixed platters. Tempura, Teryaki, Katsu and Okonomiyaki [Japanese omelettes that they call pizzas], they are all on the menu. However what has become very popular is their lunch time special….Bento Boxes at only Rp. 30,000++ each. They are available between 11.00 and 3.00 p.m., every day and there is a selection of them with the base dish being seafood, beef, pork or chicken. Great value!

Clear Café has succeeded where many others before them have tried and failed, to operate a successful pure vegetarian restaurant in Bali. You may say that Ubud is the perfect location for such a restaurant, even though the only previous successful vegetarian restaurant was Aroma’s in Legian back in the 90’s. So many others have been and gone or just continue to hang around and struggle. However the original restaurant on Jln. Hanoman was busy from day one, even having to leave your Gucci shoes at the door did not deter the masses. Sadly a major and very tragic fire destroyed the original site and for the past 2 years Clear Café has been temporarily operating out of the old Beggars’ Bush/ Mykonos site in Tjampuhan. Now they have come home, back to the original site but with a very stylish space, so different from the original…just leave your shoes at the door.

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

Rifle Reports by Mary Margaret Steedly I’ve recently returned from yet another family visit to Canada. Since moving to Asia in 1990 I’ve made this journey about 35 times but this one was different. I’ve lost my father and a sister now. My nuclear family is reduced to my youngest sister and my elderly mother. As I embraced them at the airport I suddenly realised that I was holding my entire family. My personal lineage is coming to an end. Perhaps that’s why I landed back in Bali with a renewed interest in my roots. I pulled out the big, messy handwritten genealogy chart I’d been casually compiling over the years which I call The Begats. Then I started mining the internet genealogy sites to fill in the blanks and see if I could push the boundaries back past five generations. I was examining a century-old, hand written marriage certificate on the computer screen with a magnifying glass when Wayan Manis leaned over my shoulder her broom in hand. I showed her The Begats and together we traced the lineage through my grandmother to great grandmother to her mother, where the trail grew cold. Wayan was astonished by my quest. She’d only known one of her grandmothers and had no information about her family before that. Some communities in Bali keep written or oral family records but many did not. Wayan has no idea of her roots and really could care less. Under questioning, she told me that there were clan records called Babad Pasek for the Sudra caste in each temple, in which some of the early family ancestors of the were listed. Only the priests could read the script. Her husband had heard some of his lineage being read during a ceremony when his son was born 18 years ago but doesn’t remember any of it. She had clearly never given the issue much thought; although she prayed to the ancestors on principle, it wasn’t important to know the individuals by name. “Generally speaking Balinese people do not have nor

keep genealogical records,” Ketut Yuliarsa told me. “The ancestral lineage of common people is determined by social groupings or clans.” “People rely on oral information, and many people have little information about their ancestors beyond three or four generations,” confirmed Diana Darling. “This might be because of turmoil in the mid-20th century or earlier migrations or caste contestation during Dutch rule.” The Indonesian government took its first census in 1961; there are few records before that. “We’re not interested,” Wayan Manis explained, puzzled at my fascination with my ancestors. Most of them hadn’t even been cremated, much less deified. If I wasn’t going to pray to them, why was I going to all this trouble? With diligence and luck, those of English or Scottish extraction can burrow back about 500 years. Church parishes began keeping formal handwritten records of christenings, marriages and deaths in 1538, but only in 1874 did the registration of births become compulsory. Much of that data has been scanned and is available on government and private websites. It’s quite addictive to start tracking down The Begats. I can’t help wondering why Mary Ann, at 20, married a man twice her age in 1864 when all my other ancestors married their contemporaries. On my mother’s side, one great grandmother ran off to Australia with a neighbour in a juicy cloud of scandal. Another had no birth certificate, although all her other seven siblings did; more scandal. Inconvenient babies were often absorbed into a relative’s family in those days. My great great great grandfather William Wheeler married a woman named Elizabeth Secord in Ontario in 1848. These were hardy people. It was a time of expansion and exploration; rural land was cheap or even free if you built on it right away. In that climate there was a window between about June and September in which the house had to be built and made habitable for winter. Over that time and using only simple tools land was cleared, trees felled and milled, walls erected, the crucial fireplace built, a roof put on, enough wood cut for the winter and a supply of food and water secured. It sounds easy if you say it fast. The reality must have been grueling. There was huge pressure to get it all done in a few months with men, women and children alike working through all weathers and sleeping in tents. If you didn’t get it right, you starved or froze and your incompetent DNA died with you.

Recently my sister and I spent two nights in a tiny, simple cabin in the woods by the sea on Vancouver Island. With plank walls and floor and a cedar shingle roof, it measured about three by four meters. The space was completely filled by two beds, a small wood stove and a box of firewood. The front walls opened onto a narrow porch for the summer, which it wasn’t. The ablutions block was a dark hike through the rain. The cabin was just a playful taste of life in the Olden Days. It was a little uncomfortable and inconvenient but our lives were hardly on the line; a cosy lodge through the woods offered warmth, shelter, food and company (but no wifi). We eventually remembered how to light a fire in a wood stove and keep it going. There really wasn’t enough light for reading so we went to bed early. Lying in the dark while the fire crackled quietly nearby, I tried to imagine what everyday life must have been like for the early settlers. Whole families in early Canada lived in cabins not much bigger than this while hacking livelihoods out of the dense forest. And this was the temperate west coast. William and Elizabeth lived in Ontario where winters are long and hard. They would have had to kill or grow most of their food and chop cords of wood keep the family warm and the food cooked in the winter. With abstinence as the only form of birth control, families were inevitably large. What about all the diapers? How on earth did women wash and dry the bulky woolen clothes of the era in the winter? Every drop of water had to be carried from a creek or melted from snow. Just keeping the family clean and fed was an exhausting, full time job for the wife. But people in those new Canadian farms and settlements, although miles apart, were tight communities. They rallied around to build and repair houses, relied on each other during illness and childbirth and offered food and support during hard times. They were like banjars, in a way, with a culture of gotong royong when a barn needed building. We all came from somewhere else, if you go back for enough. Just as my ancestors migrated to Canada from Scotland and England, I’ve migrated to Indonesia. Yes, I have the DNA to chop wood and melt snow to survive in the frozen north. But my lineage is going to end right here under the palm trees with a gamelan playing in the distance. And you know, I think William and Elizabeth would be just fine with that.

SCHEDULE THAT Agni Hotra Ceremony (13 November) The Agni Hotra ceremony allows guests to journey into sacred traditions and witness the healing benefits that occur and to convene in the spirit of one. Balinese priests will lead the ceremony under the light of the full moon. Agni is fire and Hotra means healing. This healing fire ceremony is considered one of the highest Vedic rituals. Specially trained priests make offerings of ghee and grains into the fire while reciting Sanskrit mantras to invoke blessings of health and abundance. Participants are also invited to join the priests at specified times with offerings of rice into the fire, as symbol of divine light. The ritual is for energizing and purifying the environment, healing both the participants and those living in the area. These ceremonies are crucial and are not to be taken lightly. Bali continues to thrive in abundance and harmony and rituals such as these are great for the community to gather together and focus on the healing aspects of these rituals. After the ceremony a 3 course gourmet tasting dinner will allow guests to relax in the comfort of the resort and enjoy a stunning evening. Do call ahead to book as spaces are limited.

Kirtan Music and Mantra Workshop (10 December) A mantra originally found in both Hinduism and Buddhism is a word or sound repeated to aid concentration in meditation. Mantras can be like medicine for the soul. When a word or phrase is repeated to form a mantra, we affirm it to ourselves and allow it to seep below the surface, into our subconscious and help to shift negative habits and patterns into positive ones. I am sure readers have their own mantras. I know the one that springs to my mind is the ‘I can do this!’ However, this is an opportunity to go beyond the basic form of mantras to experience the healing power of the sacred sound of ancient Mantras and Kirtan music which is at the root of the devotional aspect of Bhakti Yoga. A workshop focused on the use of Mantras, chanting and basic instrument arrangements for Kirtan sessions will be held during the course of the day. The session will be held at the very lovely Desa Seni in the heart of Canggu. Antonio Albagli will be hosting the workshop and will be there to offer guidance, support and answer questions that may spring to mind during the course of this calming and healing session. A curiosity for devotional music is ideal but other than that no musical knowledge is required. It is always advisable and of course courteous to call and let them know you are coming but I know that often the daily grind of life gets in the way so just in case you forget it is not going to be a problem.

The dress code is just that: anything red, white and blue: Beatles, Spice Girls, Bowie, Twiggy, Rolling Stones, Vivienne Westwood, James Bond, Austin Powers, Black Adder, Mr Bean, Elton John, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Rod Stewart, Punk Rock, Mods, Ab Fab just too many to mention so I am going to stop there.

The Japanese have been visiting Bali for many decades now and visitors from Japan rank one of the highest in numbers.

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

Pak Yoga:

Cruise Ship Crewmember Pak Yoga was born in Singaraja 44 years ago, the son of an Indonesian naval radio officer. Pak Yoga attended grade schools in Denpasar before enrolling in the Food Production (Diploma II Tata Boga) program at Bali’s Hotel and Tourism Institute (BPLP) in Nusa Dua. In 1991, he trained at The Grand Hyatt Hotel in Nusa Dua where he learned how to run a kitchen. During those early years, he had always secretly dreamed of working abroad a cruise ship. Towards that end, Pak Yoga learned English at ILC Anugerah in Denpasar. From 1993 to 2014, he began working on cruise ships as a fine dining waiter, then supervisor and ultimately as an assistant dining room manager on the Holland America Line and Disney Cruise Line. Where did you get your love of the sea? As a naval office, my father moved around Indonesia a lot on different assignments. After serving in Surabaya, he was posted to Singaraja where I was born. Then the family moved to the naval base in Benoa. I never actually sailed with him but he took me to his warship several times to fix the radar or the radio. Wearing the navy’s white and blue uniform made me proud. What was your first job at sea? After taking a Dining Room Waiter course in Lenteng Agung Jakarta Selatan, I returned to Bali. A few days later my mom got a call from Jakarta PT Nitour Jakarta, the Holland America Line representative, who asked me to return to Jakarta and apply for a U.S. visa. My parents were shocked and my mom started crying. My father is stronger than my mom and he let me go. I got the visa and prepared to leave for Los Angeles. I was so excited! How did you like working on cruise ships? My first ship was the SS Rotterdam, an old navy ship retrofitted into an elegant cruise ship. I started my career on this ship, then began gaining more experience. I transferred to several other Holland American Line ships until 2007. Studying how to run a restaurant later taught me how to be a tough businessman. At the end of each contract, I would extend my stay in the U.S. to take a photography or videography course. In 2008, I enrolled in an onboard hotel and tourism management course offered by Cornell University. My last position with Holland American Line was as Assistant Dining Room Manager. Is it easy to get a job aboard a cruise ship or yacht? To get a job on a cruise ship depends on how well you prepare yourself. Speaking English well is a big advantage. Other skills they are looking for is a background in housekeeping, food service, laundry, bartending, working as deckhand, etc. Is the required documentation difficult to get? Not really. When you know that you have a job, you need to prepare your health records. Of course don’t drink excessively, take drugs or get sick before taking the health examination. Other documents such as passport, seaman’s book and visa are not that difficult to obtain if you already have the job offer. The BST (Basic Safety Training) is usually just a one-week course and the waiting time to get

Business & Travel

the certificate is about three weeks. The passport takes about three days and the medical certificate takes at least one week. What are the most important skills that crewmembers are expected to have? The most important qualities are a cheerful and pleasing personality, an open mind, a positive attitude, the ability to do your job, the willingness to work hard, to learn from others and to learn from your mistakes. They also want someone who is adaptable and decisive in all the different kinds of situations that can quickly arise on the high seas. Is there something in the Balinese character that makes them particularly suited to work on cruise ships? The Balinese are well known for their kindness, courtesy and strong work ethic. Bali has been a popular tourist destination for so long that it has given its people a gift for hospitality and understanding the needs of guests. For these reasons, you find that most Balinese work on board cruise ships as wait staff in the restaurants and as housekeepers in the cabin sections.

C/BT/I-02 March 16

Should job applicants be careful of recruitment centres? Before applying, applicants who want to work on cruise ships should definitely research the agent’s background. Some of them don’t have any experience in recruiting. Others just run scams that try to take advantage of you and skim fees that they say that applicants must pay. These types of agents are just interested in your money and charge huge sums without any results or even any meaningful feedback. The biggest cost is your ticket, but different companies have different terms. Did you ever participate in any on board entertainment? When I worked on cruise ships, we had a program once a week in which the Indonesian crew took turns with the Pilipino crew to put on a show to share our respective national heritages. The guests really enjoyed seeing their waiter or housekeeper dancing and singing! Once I danced the Balinese kecak; another time I was the MC.

What is it life like on-board for crewmembers? Life is much easier for single people than for married people. Singles can do anything what they want, though they do need to be careful with their money. If they don’t budget, all their earnings could vanish after just one port of call! Married people usually may not bring their spouse on board unless they hold certain positions, such as one requiring a secretary. Doctors, naturalists and dancers are required to be accompanied by their spouses. Top management, such as the captain and chief engineer, often bring their wives on board to accompany them during special occasions such as the Captain’s Dinner. What do crewmembers usually do onshore? Crewmembers have only limited breaks, so their first priority is to use their free time to call home and talk with their families. They also enjoy going ashore to try new cuisines because often they become bored with the menu offered to crew onboard ship. Others shop for groceries, clothes or gifts to give to people back home after their contract ends. If I have some free time at port, I try to find a library or bookstore.

C/BT/G-14 Sept 16

Can you describe your all-time favourite cruise? The most exciting cruise I ever took was the World Voyage that visited 40 countries in 72 days. Stopping in each country and getting a glimpse of a broad spectrum of the world’s cultures is something that I will never forget. I did this tour five times and it was the best experience of my life. European cruises during the summer time are also great experiences, as are the nature and magnificent views of Alaska. How may you be contacted?

Local News World’s First Dengue Vaccine Arrives in Indonesia Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of the pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, has introduced a dengue vaccine to Indonesia, after receiving approval from Indonesia’s Food and Drug Monitoring Agency, or BPOM, earlier this month, the pharmaceutical company said on Tuesday (25/10). The vaccine Dengvaxia has been recommended by the World Health Organization and approved in Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil and El Salvador. “The vaccine has been distributed to clinics and private hospitals in Indonesia through our distributor,” Joko Murdianto, Sanofi Pasteur Indonesia’s general manager, told Indonesian news portal Liputan6.com. Sanofi Pasteur said that clinical trial results indicate that for those who have taken the vaccine, two out of three people are less likely to contract dengue. Studies have also shown that overall, there will be an 80 percent drop in dengue-related hospitalization cases. Sanofi has not yet said how much it will cost saying that it will depend on its official distributor, Anugrah Pharmindo Lestari. Based on its baseline price there are reports indicating that the vaccine will likely cost at least Rp 900,000 ($69.15) per shot, before tax. It has been registered for use in people nine-45 years of age,

although most effective in the age group of nine-16 years. A course of three shots with a six-month interval is required. Therefore, after the first shot is administered, the subsequent doses are administered at six and 12 months. In Indonesia last year, more than 129,000 were infected with dengue with 1,240 fatalities recorded. Indonesia also has the highest average number of cases per year in Southeast Asia causing an annual loss of $323 million. According to the WHO, the worldwide incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. “One recent estimate indicates 390 million dengue infections per year of which 96 million manifest clinically [with any severity of disease],” the WHO says. Sanofi says it hopes to be able to support the WHO’s ambition to reduce dengue mortality by 50 percent and morbidity by 25 percent by 2020. Indonesian authorities regularly warn people about dengue fever, as the disease kills hundreds here each year. The disease is spread through the bite of the female Aedes mosquito, which becomes infected when it takes the blood of a person carrying the virus. The mosquito can then transmit the virus by biting a healthy person. (October 25th 2016)

Jessica Wongso Gets 20 Years for “Coffee” Murder Jessica Kumala Wongso, had been so convinced she would be found innocent of murdering her friend with a cyanide-laced coffee she had packed her clothes to go home. But on Thursday (24/10) evening the packed Jakarta Central District Court applauded as three judges sentenced her to 20 years’ jail for the premeditated murder of Wayan Mirna Salihin, a crime they said was even more cruel because she had killed her own friend. Her lawyer, Otto Hasibuan, said they would appeal. “Of course we are disappointed ... I told Jessica don’t cry otherwise the judge ... will be happy,” Mr. Hasibuan said. About 500 police were on standby in front of the Central Jakarta District Court as three judges delivered the long-awaited verdict in a sensational trial broadcast live on national television in Indonesia. Ms Salihin, 27, died on January 6 after drinking a Vietnamese iced coffee that Wongso had bought for her at the glitzy restaurant Olivier in a central Jakarta shopping mall. The prosecution said the emotionally unstable Wongso poisoned her friend to avenge her pain over Ms Salihin’s criticism of Wongso’s Australian ex-boyfriend. The two friends had studied together at Billy Blue College of Design in Sydney. The judges said aggravating factors were that she had never admitted her crime and had killed her own friend. However on her side were her youth, the fact she had never committed a crime before and could change. The crowd cheered as Ms Salihin’s father, Edi Dermawan Salihin, said: “I can’t say anything other than Allahu Akbar (God is the Greatest)”.

Talk shows dissected Wongso’s inscrutable demeanor during the trial, which many interpreted as evidence of a cold heart, and Vietnamese iced coffees became the ghoulish drink du jour at cafes throughout Jakarta. Wongso insisted to the end she was innocent. “I swear I am not a murderer,” she told the court during the trial. “Mirna knows I never poisoned her.” Toxicology reports tested negative to cyanide in gastric fluid, bile, liver and urine 70 minutes after her death and only a small amount of cyanide was found in her stomach several days later. “These [toxicology] results show there is no evidence of cyanide ingestion,” Australian forensic toxicologist Michael Robertson told the court. Defense expert witnesses were also critical that a full autopsy had never been conducted; saying death by natural disease could not be ruled out. Australia took a keen interest in the trial. The Australian Federal Police provided assistance after receiving an undertaking the death penalty would not be imposed. Death is the maximum punishment for premeditated murder in Indonesia. NSW police provided an insight into Wongso’s tumultuous life in Australia. Multiple police reports were read to the court, mostly relating to Wongso threatening self-harm. It was also revealed that her Australian ex-boyfriend, Patrick O’Connor, had obtained an interim restraining order against Wongso, fearing she would become violent after their split.

Mr Salihin said Wongso might have been given the death penalty if Indonesia had not given a guarantee to the Australian Federal Police that it would not be imposed.

Wongso’s ex-boss at the NSW Ambulance service, Kristie Carter, painted a picture of a manipulative, scheming and emotionally unstable person who had “two different personalities”.

“A promise was made. Indonesia is a nation that keeps its promises to Australia. What can we do? The important thing is that it has been proven that Jessica was the perpetrator, that is all.”

Wongso had said, “you must die and your mum must die” when Ms Carter had refused to help her. She had also told Ms Carter at one point: “If I wanted to kill someone I surely know how, I can get a pistol and I know the right dose”.

The trial, which provided a ratings boost for the TV networks, had all the plot points of a soap opera: beauty, youth, revenge, jealousy, murder, intrigue, inconclusive evidence and a murky motive.

Ms Salihin’s supporters, who wore white T-shirts saying “Justice for Mirna”, were told by police to enter the court through the right door, while Wongso’s supporters entered through the left. (October 26th 2016)

Indonesia Sentences Australian Pedophile to 15 Years in Jail An Indonesian court on Tuesday (22/10) sentenced a 70-year-old Australian man to 15 years in prison after finding him guilty of sexually molesting several girls on the resort island of Bali. Judges at Denpasar District Court found that Robert Andrew Fiddes Ellis, who was arrested in January, sexually abused 11 girls under the age of 18 between 2014 and 2015. In addition to the prison sentence, Ellis was served a fine of 2 billion rupiah (around $153,000) or an additional six months in prison. Ellis’s lawyer later said that he objected to the sentence and would appeal. (October 25th 2016) GrabBike and GrabExpress Now Also Available in Bali App-based ride-hailing service Grab has expanded its on-demand motorcycle taxi service GrabBike and instant courier service GrabExpress to Bali. Starting on Saturday (22/10), users in Denpasar and Badung can access the two services from their smart phones. “Bali dominates growth and tourism prospects. We see there is an opportunity to improve the quality of people’s trips in Denpasar and Badung, which are quite densely populated areas,” Grab Indonesia marketing director Mediko Azwar said. The two new services are offered in addition to Grab’s existing services in Bali. The company currently operates GrabCar, an on-demand private car taxi service, on the island. GrabBike is one of the startup’s services that saw the fastest growth. In July, the company announced that it had grown by 300 percent since January, despite it having reduced the subsidies paid to driver partners by 50 percent. Grab also started offering a special discount on Saturday for each GrabBike trip. Customers can use a specific promotional code that entitles them to a Rp 5,000 (28 US cents) fare reduction. The offer runs until Nov. 5 and the promotional code is only valid for five trips. (October 24th 2016) Explosive Fire Breaks Out at La Sicilia Resto - Seminyak A fire raged through the La Sicilia restaurant in Seminyak in the early hours of Saturday (29/10) morning. Exploding gas cylinders may have caused the fire at the Oberoi area restaurant. There were no reported fatalities. Security guards, who heard an explosion coming from the second floor, first noticed the fire at the five-story building. Smoke and flames followed the explosion and within minutes, the fire quickly tore through to the second floor. “Floors three to five were still under construction. While the first and second floors were already in operation,” NusaBali quoted a Kuta Police officer as saying. At least nine fire engines were deployed to the scene and were able to extinguish the flames in just over an hour. Kuta Police Chief Comr. I Wayan Sumara said the first floor of the restaurant became operational in December 2015 and the second floor opened up about three months ago. Police are still investigating whether the fire could have been planned or if it was entirely accidental. The restaurant’s manager, Made Agus Darmawan, told police that the restaurant had been closed at the time of the incident. “We normally close at 2 am. At closing time, we turn of all electricity, AC, candles, everything is shutdown” Darmawan said. (October 31st 2016) Two Tourists Killed in Motorcycle Accident - Pererenan Two foreign nationals were killed in a motorcycle accident on Pererenan Beach in Mengwi, Bali, on Saturday (22/10). Police believe alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash. Mengwi Police chief Comr. I Nengah Patrem said 23-yearold Emilie Martine Canet of France and 26-year-old Vincent Dominique Lazeyras of Switzerland died when they lost control of their motorcycle and collided with rocks on the beach at around 5 a.m. “They drove the motorcycle without knowing the end of the road and directly plunged onto the beach,” the police chief told reporters. Based on the testimony of several witnesses, police believe both victims were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.Their bodies have been transferred to Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar for further investigation.

Explosion Rocks Kuta Square An explosion rocked the Kuta Square shopping area in Kuta on Tuesday afternoon (25/10). The sound of the blast caused both residents and tourists to panic, assuming that a bomb may have caused blast. The explosion occurred in the area of Kuta Square at around 11am. There were no casualties from the incident and police quickly determined that an electrical switchbox explosion caused the blast. Bali was bombed in 2005 when a blast destroyed Raja’s Restaurant at the Kuta Square shopping mall. Another two bombs exploded at warungs along the Jimbaran beach, one of which was near the Four Seasons Hotel. (October 26th 2016) Australian Woman Forced to Flee Bali Following Domestic Violence A young Australian woman has been forced to flee Indonesia after allegedly being bashed and having all her possessions stolen by her boyfriend. Tammie Wilkinson’s holiday turned into a week from hell at the hands of a former partner and who she claims repeatedly attacked and harassed her. On return to Australia on Sunday (27/10) she shared her bruised and battered face, on facebook. Ms Wilkinson warned others to watch out for the man who runs a tour business. ‘It’s disgusting how a man can not only mentally abuse a woman and say nasty things which have no truth behind them but physically abuse her as well,’ Ms Wilkinson wrote. ‘I have spent this last week in Bali scared of this man... (who) not only repeatedly punched me but stole my money, phone and bank card. Ms Wilkinson told Daily Mail Australia she’d reported the incidents to police, but had been told that they could only take action if she stayed in Bali. In a Facebook comment on her post, Ms Wilkinson described the man to a friend as her ‘ex-boyfriend’. Ms Wilkinson said she plans to report the man to the Australian embassy in Bali. (October 30th 2016) Bali Nines Sukumaran’s Paintings to be Displayed in First Major Exhibition Artworks painted by Bali Nine member Myuran Sukumaran in the hours leading to his execution will be displayed at an exhibition in Sydney next year. The event, co-curated by friend and artistic mentor Ben Quilty, will feature more than 100 works painted by Sukumaran while he was at Bali’s Kerobokan jail and on Nusa Kambangan Island, where he was held immediately before his death. Quilty said the works were produced over a three year period and showed the profound way art could give a person strength and solace. ‘The earlier portraits, in Kerobokan, are coming to terms with the guilt and grief that he put his family through,’ Quilty said. ‘The works on Nusa Kambangan is about a young man coming to terms with his mortality.’ Artworks include paintings of fellow inmates, political figures and scenes from inside and outside Kerobokan jail, Quilty said. Quilty described the paintings produced on Nusa Kambangan dubbed Indonesia’s Alcatraz - on the days and hours preceding his death as very intense. ‘The nature of self portraiture is you have to look beyond your skin,’ Quilty said. ‘By looking in a mirror at yourself for hours at a time it is inevitable that you start to ask what makes you who you are?’ The free exhibition will be held at Campbelltown Arts Centre between January 13 and March 26. ‘Myuran’s story is proof of the true potential for art to change lives, even in the most extraordinary circumstances,’ said Michael Dagostino, co-curator and director of Campbelltown Arts Centre. Part of the exhibition will include a symposium in February that will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ronald Ryan’s death, the last person to be legally executed in Australia on February 3, 1967. Seven other leading artists will exhibit sculptural or video works alongside Sukumaran’s paintings. (October 25th 2016)

HECTOR’S C/NV/G-31 Aug. 16

Dystopian Delights There were no visibly ruffled kebayas at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival session featuring American author Lionel Shriver on Oct. 29. No one loudly rattled their worry beads or furiously flounced out. This was in stark contrast to the thought chasm at the Brisbane Writers Festival in September, where an angry ethnic headdress made a public point of walking out of Shriver’s presentation. Someone else then thumped out an anguished memoir that appeared somewhere or other and, in it, claimed that Shriver was stealing other people’s heritage. Shriver’s crime is to give voice in her novels to imaginary characters whose culture and ethnicity is not her own. In doing do, so the good thinking collective asserts, she and others perpetuate an invidious imperial-colonial imbalance. These days, this warrants condign punishment, such as being shouted at before being sent to Coventry. The modern white man’s burden is to be continually assailed by charges that might have applied to his great-grandfather (the point is moot). It’s true that much of the world’s body of literature, fictional or otherwise, is in English. But much of it isn’t. There are other global languages, Spanish, French and Portuguese in particular. And if a culture whose native language isn’t one of these or any of their increasingly incomprehensible derivatives wishes to fully develop literature in its own lingua franca, it is perfectly free to do so. This of course is not the thing to say at a literary festival, unless you want to have your tea poisoned. But it is hard to see how Shriver and her ilk are the agents of continued bastardry just because they write into their narratives imaginary representatives of other cultures. Fiction, whether grittily realistic, or enervating, or readable, or otherwise, is neither fact nor claims to be. That alone should eliminate angst among the sentient and offset the risk of injury to readers from that modern plague, acquired cultural offence. It’s true of course that many authors and their cheer squads claim gritty realism as the leitmotiv of their works and the arbiter of their own social relevance. But these days if you’re not socially relevant, you’re nowhere, baby. Shriver’s presentation concerned her latest book, The Mandibles, a dystopian romp of sorts through the imagined near-future economic and social collapse of America. Mad Max on Mandrax, in a way. She read from the text. It’s unlikely to set the world on fire, though America might. The session was moderated by Gill Westaway, once of the British Council and now of Lombok.

Better than Chocolate We spent some time at the festival chatting with Ines Wynn, who writes for the Bali Advertiser and lives in a riparian setting with a small menagerie (of dogs and cats) far from the madding crowd, just an easy three-hour round trip away from the nearest supermarket that’s stocked with anything bules might actually want to buy. In such a setting, one has to plan. It doesn’t do to run out of something essential. We thought of foie gras, not because we suppose Ines likes to keep it in stock, as indeed neither do we, but just par exemple, to break briefly into one of her eight languages. Ines is originally from Belgium, that confection of four languages, several instances of casus belli, multiple competing legislatures and former Heart of Darkness empire that was invented in 1830 as a sort of final post-mortem act in the overlong and competing narratives of the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Crown. Lunch with her, which we took at Kori, just across the road from the gabblers’ headquarters, was much less complex. It was also very tasty and in a quiet environment where the only noise seemed to be coming from our table. We didn’t have any chocolates. It seemed invidious to suggest that we might, since chocolates are perhaps Belgium’s finest exports. No substitutes permitted. Solemen Indonesia’s Robert Epstone, by the way, had a sort of TED Talk opportunity at the festival, on Oct. 30 rescheduled from earlier in the program, to introduce the lit crowd to the sterling work his charity organisation does. We couldn’t be there, unfortunately, but Ines tells us Epstone worked his usual magic and passed the virtual hat round to good effect.

Shoot to Thrill The executioners have been out and about. We’re not referring to the national drug agency, which says it would like to shoot drug dealers without benefit of judicial process, as in Rodrigo Duterte’s new killing fields in the Philippines perhaps, and which hopefully will never get permission to engage in state-sanctioned murder.

It’s Gianyar regency we’re talking about, again, and its cruel and counterproductive dog-culling program. The latest victims were 21 dogs in Batubulan, after a dog bit someone and was later found to have rabies. Just to be clear, we’re not opposed to killing dogs when circumstances dictate that there is no other option, even though it would leave a heavy shadow on our non-Hindu heart. Instead, as is much of the world that exists outside the blank-stare fiefdoms of the regents of Gianyar and others, we are opposed to the idea of killing dogs because this is easier than implementing an effective vaccination (and re-vaccination) program and humane population control through sterilisation, and because, being cheaper, it won’t interfere with the Essential Additional SUV Acquisition schedule.

C/NV/U-25 May 16

There’s plenty of literature available on how to actually suppress rabies rather than just look as you’re doing so. We’ve had rabies in Bali since 2008, at a cost now approaching 200 human lives. That’s ample time to have assimilated the information and to have translated even the difficult bits into Bahasa Indonesia.

A Fine Award Puri Mas resorts and spa in Lombok has a new and very fine feather in its cap. It’s just been voted Best Luxury Boutique Hotel in Indonesia at an awards presentation in Doha, Qatar. GM Sara Sanders, who was in the Puri Mas contingent at the St Regis Doha to collect the gong, says this: “Congratulations to Marcel De Rijk and all the amazing staff in Puri Mas. Well deserved.” Puri Mas has always been a great place – in two places: right on the beach at Manggis north of Senggigi and inland at Kerangandan, where owner and long-term Lombok resident and ballroom dancer De Rijk maintains his residence. The resort truly is a jewel in the crown of Lombok tourism.

It is not a criminal offence to be gay in Indonesia. (That’s a good thing in the other, older, sense of the word, because there’s plenty here that gives you a laugh, even if it’s a horse one.) But, seriously, it’s not a crime. So the disgraceful hue and cry that was reported last month, involving the police and other guardians of self-assessed moral requirements in Manado, North Sulawesi, was a very sorry spectacle. Two gay men were hunted down and arrested because they had displayed their affection for each other in a Facebook post. Social media is not a public space. It’s certainly true that public demonstration of affection is not what one does here. It is culturally inappropriate. Tourists of all stripes please note, especially the half-clothed young bucks and dams of western provenance whose displays of plainly sexual intent are blots on the landscape in Kuta and other goodtime places. In the Manado incident, there was no cause for public disquiet. It’s no business of the police what private individuals choose – unwisely or otherwise – to post on their social platforms. “Our team tracked down the locations of the two men thanks to information from netizens, and on Oct. 11 we found the two in Bahu, Manado,” North Sulawesi Police Spokesman Marzuki wrote in a statement.

What a circus. The police should have told “concerned netizens” to go away instead of responding with a farcical witchhunt. That way, police spokesman Marzuki wouldn’t have had to look as if he’s with the Keystone Kops. The silly business even reached Jakarta, where IT ministry spokesman Noor Iza was quoted as saying: “Facebook is very concerned about inappropriate content, including LGBT.” Um, no, Facebook is rather more rainbow minded than Indonesian regulator-enforcers like to think.

End Game The American election will be all over bar the continued shouting by the time this appears in print, but American scribbler Richard Boughton, who very sensibly lives in Bali, posted a plaintive note on his Facebook on Nov. 2 with which we can relate, both in his specific and our own more general circumstances. He wrote: “I can’t believe how much time I wasted last night arguing with Trump supporters on Facebook. Not that I don’t have time to waste. But I could have wasted it in so many more pleasant ways. Sleeping, for instance. Or pigging out on junk food. Or picking a scab off my leg.” Hector ’s Diary is also published on the blog www.8degreesoflatitude.com.

BA Feature Article

Water– Bali’s holy tragedy Key to life that bound spirit, humans and Nature since ancient rice farming began - Bali’s treasured Hindu water systems, World Heritage landscapes - and sustainability of the island, is now under serious threat. “Regarded as the ultimate origin of every spring and river” is Bali’s largest volcanic caldera, Lake Batur - a major freshwater catchment and home to Pura Ulun Danu, a holy water temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Lake, at the foot of Mount Batur. Dropped to unsustainable levels, the sacred waters are now polluted by toxic agricultural chemicals and illegal trash disposal. Listed for World Heritage values in 2012, the United Nations Education, Science & Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) also identi¿ed vulnerability factors for urgent attention: lack of governance in landscape conservation “to protect the water source that underpins the subak system”, development pressures and lack of support for farmers of the the unique 10th century traditions. Three hundred of Bali’s 400 rivers are drying up island wide. Of 162 democratically shared waterways that sustained thousands of rice farming villages, and 3500 holy subak canals, major rivers are now diverted to supply crowded tourism precincts at beachside resorts in the island’s south. Water wars In stark contrast to tourism imagery, ‘sawah’ rice ¿elds across Bali lay parched and no longer ¿t for productive farming, producing a single harvest a year where two or three annual crops were once normal. Sawahs near luxury resorts appear evergreen, a landscape for tourists only. A visit to UNESCOlisted rice fields reveals eroded, unkempt terraces, and swarms of tourists, arriving by busloads on Bali’s traf¿c-choked narrow roads. Due for review in late 2016, Bali’s ‘State of Conservation’ is still of concern, citing ‘lack of action toward urgent improvement in water catchment quality, forestry conservation management and planning to control growth in mass tourism’, as recommended to maintain ’Outstanding Universal Values’, according to UNESCO records. An alarming and inconvenient truth, Bali’s water crisis is now in local headlines every other week, and recently by global media in The Conversation and Sydney Morning Herald. Regular reports by news agencies such as Aljazeera, SBS and ABC Australia of Bali’s water, trash and relentless development woes have made headlines since 2008 when researchers warned of water crisis from unsustainable consumption. A 2012 report by The Guardian highlighted global water impacts in mass tourism destinations Bali, Goa - and exotic Zanzibar Island, where security patrols protect hotel borders from local communities who no longer have access to fresh water. Business as usual? Bali tourism earns billions of dollars a year for investors a n d n a t i o n a l t r e a s u r y. According to Tourism Minister Arief Yahya, Indonesia earns US$10 billion a year from tourism - Bali contributes 40%, or US$4 billion a year, quoted Bali Discovery in a recent report. Domestic arrivals to Bali province totalled over 7 million Indonesian tourists in 2015, with a total of 12 million Tourist trash: A water attraction in Singaraja; Photo: J.

China. (Source: Bali Government Tourism Of¿ce) Bali’s local population of approximately 4 million permanent residents, whose regional households regularly run dry with minimal access to fresh water at times, faces increasing drought conditions. “ Wa t e r s h o r t a g e s intensified in 2015, with Bangli and Buleleng regencies severely affected by drought. Other areas, like Kuta have seen water sources down by 20 to 25%”, according to Horwath HTL Indonesia’s 2015 Unholy: Trashed waterways now common on Bali; B a l i H o t e l a n d Photo: J. Goalabre/IDEP Branded Residences annual investment review, that reports an additional ‘115 major hotel resort properties will open by 2019’. Endless tourism cargo forever changed Balinese culture and landscapes. Mixed generations now live in three worlds juggling local customs, demands of central government and the relentless appetite of globalisation that has created mass wealth for a lucky few - but many Balinese are left behind in silent poverty, vulnerable to illness and disease. United Nations Sustainability Goal Number 6 aims for sustainable water supplies for all by 2030 – but with a tourism dependent economy, Bali’s worsening water crisis is still the “elephant in the room” for regional planning.

(Source: Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence, 2016) India implemented the MAR system in1997, recharging deep aquifers in drought-stricken regions with initial funding of US$400 million for state programs. Afghanistan now operates a government-supported MAR program, with grant support from Asia Development Bank. Save Bali water Endorsed by the Provincial Governor in 2015, the Bali Water Protection (BWP) program has received no government funding or corporate support for shared responsibility in constructing the best practice managed aquifer recharge systems, designed for rapid restoration of deep aquifer water levels and long-term bene¿ts. However, a recharge effort to install narrow pipes to a depth of one metre was launched in 2016 by provincial government: ‘All schools and government units are being told to install biopore holes at schools and villages’. Increasing environmental disaster, with high economic risk from worsening water crisis impacts, has driven BWP program managers to public crowdfunding - in attempt to raise a total of US$1 million required to construct an effective MAR system across Bali province and mitigate this natural resource challenge - a ’Tragedy of the Commons’. Correct well site selection and quality control maintenance is critical to effective rapid aquifer restoration. A minimum of US$100 000 will allow the recharge program to begin technical stages - BWP reports that 15% of minimal funds have been raised since launching the campaign in mid-2015.

‘While demand is projected to grow by 30-40%, existing water resources can be considered already fully utilised due to rapid groundwater depletion,’ reports Asia Water Development Outlook 2016, a regional countries report by Asia Development Bank (ADB) that reveals low scores for Indonesia’s water security, well behind tourism rivals Malaysia and Thailand in resilience to drought, climate change and natural disasters. “Business as usual is not possible anymore,” said the ADB Asia review. We have a solution On Bali, water crisis research and program management alliance of Politeknik Negeri Bali (PNB) University, IDEP Foundation and team of probono experts, are ¿ne tuning the scienti¿cally proven Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) system for local conditions as a blueprint for Bali Water Protection (BWP) program, reported in 2015 by Bali Advertiser, to rapidly recharge critically diminished water tables. Proven economically ef¿cient by global case studies, PNB hydrologists installed six test pilot recharge wells in Denpasar, in cooperation with city authorities, toward the BWP program construction of 136 recharge wells - each 3m x 3m - in nine hotspot crisis areas across Bali province, including Nusa Penida islands group – all critically threatened by irreversible salt water intrusion. A result of deep groundwater over-extraction that supplied decades of rapid tourism growth and commercial water sales in excess to agriculture, Bali is fast exceeding the tipping point of the island’s carrying capacity and, according to BWP manager’s, time is running out to enact a rapid water management solution to avoid future damage and catastrophe. Benchmark water management A leader in water resilience science, Australia’s national water management program is focused on the Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and water recycling systems as benchmark development solutions for public, industry and agricultural landscapes. A 2015 assessment of six pilot sites reported “most are economically viable, with favourable bene¿ts to cost ratios, often due to avoided costs compared with above ground storage, wastewater treatment, or other water options”. A multiagency alliance led by the Commonwealth Scienti¿c and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), state governments, universities and other partners – “managed aquifer recharge could help water utilities, government agencies and the community” to: • Increase the resilience of water supplies • Provide water in seasons of high demand • Replenish exploited aquifers • Prevent salt water intrusion • Protect groundwater dependent ecosystems.

Deep water: BWP program will use Managed Aquifer Recharge well system; IDEP

Most contributions to the BWP crowdfunding campaign, reports communications manager Julien Goalabré, are from overseas donors. “Mostly foreign residents based on Bali, small local business such as BWP Pioneer Sponsor Bali Bunda [formerly Bali Buda] - and CSR supporters who visit but don’t live on the island, like New Zealand web domain company - iwantmyname -and VitaliTymoves yoga retreats from Australia”.

In support of BWP campaign, Michelle Redman of VitaliTymoves explains how visiting retreat students are required to raise money to give back to the community. “I will be encouraging visitors in Bali to think about contributing to the water and environment issues while they visit,” she said. Time to act is now Bali Water Protection program has received minimal interest from Bali hotel owners but local media publishers, such as Bali Advertiser, Bali Go Live, Now! Bali and 42 Gurus are generously supporting promotion of this MAR solution to benefit all of Bali, according to IDEP Foundation Chief Executive, Ade Andreawan. “Ultimately, it is time for all Balinese citizens, visitors, and pro¿teers to own responsibility for this Bali water crisis whether individual locals or corporate groups, all with a stake in sustainability for the long-term future of our water – time is running out, we need to work together on solutions,” he said. “In the end protecting water just is, our inherent responsibility,” said Brenda Richmond, a major supporter of BWP and Founding Director Bali Bunda.
