GONG MASTERS.... The Masters Of Mystery ‘Wow. I’m not sure what just happened in there. I can’t really put it into words. All I know is I feel so good, like I’ve been released.’ I’m meeting my friends at the Pyramids of Chi, an oasis of calm with a dose of intrigue, not far from Ubud, a mecca for all things wellness on the island of Bali. As they wander up the path through the ponds and tropical gardens I can see they are in a world of their own, looking incredibly relaxed. Today was their first experience of a Sound Healing led by a Gong Master in the Pyramid of the Sun.

knowledge seeking mode, instantly fills with questions. I’m curious about their history, their significance. Who’s going to play them? What sound does does each one make? ‘Choose a mattress, get comfortable, adjust your pillows, place your eye mask on and relax.’ Gentle guidance interrupts the questions churning around in my mind. I do as instructed, applying the mute button to my inquisitive mind.

It starts with the drive along small, windy village roads, every bend taking you further away from the hustle of Ubud. A magnificent gong in the entry area sets the tone on arrival. There’s a quiet hum in the breezy café. I settle into one of the cosy rattan sofas amongst people reading, talking or simply relaxing, taking in the surrounds. The Gong Master strikes the gong, the sound reverberating through the space getting everyone’s attention. It’s time to assemble for the intro session. We listen to insights into the ancients mysteries of Pyramids, the Gong Master demonstrates a few sounds, getting us comfortable with what’s about to take place in the Pyramid. You won’t be alone if you’re new to Sound Healing. You’ll find yourself amongst people from all over the world, many are first time visitors. With minds at ease, we wander down the path to the Pyramids, glistening in the sun. Slipping off our shoes, the Gong Master invites us to enter the semi dark space. Mattresses, each with a pillow and bolster are laid out in beautiful order on the floor, with enough distance between each one to allow personal space. A fascinating array of gongs, drums and other ancient instruments are set up in the centre of the space. My mind switching to

I’m curious about their training in the theory of sound. Is a healing session composed or intuitive? How does one become a Gong Master, where does one begin? I have endless questions. But I resist. For two reasons. One…. It dawns on me that by asking my list of questions I’m transferring my attention to the Gong Master. In fact anywhere but my own thoughts and feelings that have emerged from the Sound Healing. Am I in denial? Or am I slipping into the default mode of seeking explanations when unsure of a situation? I suspect a little of both. I steer my thoughts back to myself. Two…. The answers to my questions will simply become ‘knowledge’ that could lead to questioning my expectations, or judging and comparing, effectively destroying the mystery.

Our paths are crossing unexpectedly allowing only a quick chat. Not wanting to break the spell, I leave them in their state of zen. It’s not often we are left baffled by an experience, unable to explain what took place or how it affected us. Thanks to the likes of Google, Trip Advisor, Facebook and every other channel of social media, we can research, check reviews and ask for feedback on any place, product, experience or person we have an interest in. Each has a star rating, an in-depth blow by blow description, captured in photos and video. We make decisions and set expectations based on our research, leaving little room for the unknown, let alone a little mystery. I have personally experienced the mystery of a Sound Healing session at Pyramids of Chi.

Connecting with the Gong Masters takes place after the session. You can choose to talk about your experience, ask for advice, explore your insights. I find myself tempted to ask questions about the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of life as a Gong Master.

I vow never to enter ‘Gong Master’ in my Google search box. But I am curious about how the Gong Masters feel about being ‘invisible’ to their ‘audience’. What does it take to put aside the thrill of performing centre stage, feeding off the energy of a live audience? The responses set me on the path to understanding that a Sound Healing ‘is not a performance’.

The lights go down, a calm hush takes over. The Gong Masters become invisible. Guiding us to a quieter state with calming words and controlled breathing, the Gong Master helps us adjust to the darkness, to the solitude, to the mystery of what may come. We cannot see. We cannot connect the sounds to the instruments. Nor be distracted by watching the Gong Master at work, creating the ethereal sounds. We can only listen, really listen until that listening becomes feeling. For some, myself included, it’s a big adjustment. Racing thoughts compete with the sounds reverberating throughout the pyramid. I know enquiring minds are dying to peek from beneath the eye mask at the Gong Master, curious about the source of the sounds, desperate to know, to understand. Trust me, once you let go of the questions, you find yourself surrendering to the sounds, entering a blissful state of ‘less thinking, more feeling’. The Sound Healing experience is a deeply personal one and can be physical, emotional or spiritual. You may get clarity around something that’s had you tied up in knots for oh so long, feel a deep sense of release, possibly shed a few tears, or simply enjoy the most delicious relaxation that serves you better than a few hours of sleep.

‘We are healing not performing.’ ‘It’s an act of giving not taking.’ ‘I might be invisible but my soul is there, creating an everlasting connection.’ Talking with Peter, one half of the founders of the Pyramids of Chi, adds another layer to my understanding. He explains they only work with people who in addition to being a Gong Master, practice a healing modality, ensuring first and foremost they are healers. He wants the mastery and care to extend beyond the sessions. ‘It’s about the conversations and wanders with the guests that take place before and after the Sound Healing session. That’s the magic.’ The Gong Masters assure me that the pyramids are a sound healers dream, adding an extra layer of mystery, allowing them to enter a state of timelessness. Peter leaves me with one thought…. ‘We like people to ‘expect the unexpected’ at the Pyramids of Chi.’ I love it. The perfect setting for a little mystery.

MONEY MATTERS What Major Items are Missing from Education? Does modern education prepare us for the real world? That was the question I would ask myself as I struggled with Latin in the later years of my secondary school in the UK. Latin speakers did not have too many job opportunities apart from perhaps the clergy or as historians. It wasn’t even useful when going on holiday; if you went to Rome and asked at the railway station “Mediolanum novissimo agmine quota hora est?” you would get some strange looks. Better to simply ask in English “What time is the last train to Milan?” In those days education was focused on instilling an ability to learn matters of mainly academic interest. What I learned was of little help to me when faced with real life situations in industry such as handling industrial relations conflicts. Quoting a few lines of Seneca or Julius Caesar would not have been helpful. We had to replace everything we had learned in academia with knowledge that would help us survive on the street and in industry. Things are very different now When my own children went to school the curriculum was much broader and introduced concepts like being able to question things and use creativity. One of them took the International Baccalaureate at JIS in Jakarta and that most certainly helped her on the road to a CEO position in the US. My other children also found that their broader educationguided them seemlessly into various careers. When I visit teachers in international schools in Jakarta or Bali I am amazed at the rapid adoption of technology. Computers are now universal even in primary schools and there are signs everywhere of creativity that would have probably led to disciplinary action in my day. So what is missing now in the education system? But there is a gap and it relates to understanding personal finance. This includes anything from family budgeting to the relative merits of cash and other financial assets, investing, mortgages, currencies, liquidity, insurance,retirement planning, risk and return and awareness of scams to mention just a few. While people have become more expert at what they do, even the most competent and highly educated often lack knowledge and skills when it comes to managing personal finance. For example, some people will maintain large balances in their bank accounts earning interest close to zero while at the same time will run up debts on credit cards with annual interest rates of 30% and higher. Following the recent government shutdown in the US many found themselves in financial difficulty after missing just one paycheck. They were not poor people; most would likely own a house and a couple of cars plus all the trappings of the American dream. But much of it was on borrowed money. A couple of missed paychecks meant the potential repossession of one or more of their valued assets. Similarly in the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 / 9 thousands lost their homes. The reason was simple; they had too many debts and had not retained sufficient liquidity to weather a financial storm. Many companies go broke for the same reason. Even private schools are not immune. Some mutual funds are subject to liquidity issues if they are invested in assets that cannot be quickly turned into cash such as property, land, asset-backed securities etc. Many such funds have failed leading to investor losses. There have also been many scams

in the industry so people need to be aware of the warning signs. It’s not just a question of how to make money; it’s one of how not to lose it. Retirement planning is another area of critical importance. It must appear a very boring topic to students but if neglected could be a big worry to them later in life. Why haven’t these issues been addressed before? One reason is that many changes in recent years have made financial planning more complex. Going back 50 years or so in western countries men worked till 65 when they then collected a state pension and maybe also an occupational pension. But the average man lived only a couple more years in those days so the burden on the state and companies was perfectly manageable. Today, men and women can expect to live well into their eighties so the burden on governments, taxpayers and companies is much greater. Individuals now have to compensate for lower pensions by making their own arrangements to supplement them. Most are ill-equipped to do so and risk cash shortage in retirement. Hence the need to educate children at an early age on the principles of financial planning and the importance of saving. How can teachers help? Until such time as financial planning becomes part of the curriculum they can help by becoming well-versed in the principles themselves and imparting them to children at every opportunity. They would also benefit personally from having such knowledge. International teachers risk faring worse than their counterparts in their home countries as the latter will most certainly belong to regular pension schemes. Such schemes rarely extend to expatriate teachers and my experience from fact-finds has been that many seriously underestimate how much they will need to support them in retirement. For long-term expats offshore pension schemes offer one solution, subject to caveats. Can parents help? Possibly, if they are well-versed in financial matters, although some may have to wait till they can learn from their children as I have to from mine when it comes to things like the features of the latest gadget. If the UK is anything to go by the general population does not have a good grasp of finance. Don’t take my word for it; the headline in a recent international financial publication read: ‘UK struggling under an epidemic of financial literacy.’ The UK government is well aware of it. Not so long ago people could learn the basics from a financial adviser. But now that commissions are banned in the UK people have to pay for financial advice. A consequence is that many either will not pay or cannot afford to pay. Worse, the UK government has allowed people to free their locked-up pensions and do what they like with the money. This initially brought a nice tax windfall for the government but there will be much pain and grief when the money runs out due to poor investment choices. What can the financial industry do to help? Bodies like the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investment are taking initiatives to educate the public. Regulators are demanding higher standards from advisers who must now meet minimum qualification requirements. In Australia advisers must now have university degrees. In the less-regulated offshore world however, which includes most of Asia and the Middle East, you will still find ‘smash-and-grab’ salesmen offering products under the guise of advice. Self-knowledge will help you make an informed opinion on whether a particular product and its structure will meet your long term needs. Financial planning has historically figured very low in people’s priorities. Only education can raise its awareness to a level that can positively change lives and ensure people make the most of their hard-earned incomes. I will finish with a few words of Latin (admittedly with a little help from Google Translate) just to show that my own education was not completely wasted: Tibi gratias ago tibi, et in die enim bona !

A Parents’ Guide to School Bullying Bullies can turn everyday experiences, such as going to school, break times, waiting for the school bus or walking home, into nightmares for kids that are being bullied, according to Kids Health website. Being bullied can leave deep emotional scars on the victims. Bullies can physically hurt other kids, damage or destroy their belongings or sometimes even give them serious injuries. Bullies can certainly make school an unsafe or even dangerous environment for their victims. Kids Health defines bullying as “intentional tormenting in physical, verbal or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, shoving, name-calling, threats and mocking to extorting money and possessions.” Some bullies will ostracize their victims and persuade other kids to do the same, isolating the victim. Bullies can also spread rumors and lies about kids. In the digital age, bullies have moved online and increasingly use social media, such as Facebook or Instagram, and email or direct messages to taunt and harm their victims psychologically. Bullies can send SMSes and emails that threaten or taunt their victims. In some cases, bullying at school has led to victims committing suicide and has been cited as a factor in school shootings. Bullying universally has certain set criteria, according to research: • Hostile intent (the bully intends to harm his or her victim) • Imbalance of power • Repetition over a period of time • Victim distress (the bully’s target suffers very real distress, ranging from mild to extreme) • Provocation (the bully gets some benefit from the behavior) Why do kids bully? According to Kids Health, bullies may act this way because they come from homes where violence and bullying is normal, and they’ve grown up with it being their ‘norm.’ Some bullies are themselves bullied, by older siblings, family members or older kids, and are simply passing on this behavior or trying to compensate for their own feelings of powerlessness. Bullies need to feel “more important, popular or in control” so they target other kids, especially

ones that are smaller or weaker than the bully. How can you tell if it’s bullying and not teasing? Kids do tease each other, and siblings in particular often tease, or even fight, between themselves. If both kids recognize that the teasing is being done in fun or in a playful way, and both kids think it’s funny, then this is not likely to be bullying. However, if the person being teased doesn’t think it’s funny, has hurt feelings or is upset or angry, those are signs that the teasing has crossed over into bullying and needs to be stopped. Warning signs of bullying (for parents or caretakers) According to Stop Bullying, signs that may point to your child being the victim of a bully include: • Unexplainable injuries • Personal items, such as clothing or books, that are lost or destroyed • Kids feeling sick or faking being sick • Changes in eating habits • Trouble sleeping or nightmares • A loss of interest in school or doing schoolwork and/or falling grades • Sudden loss of friends • Feelings of low self-esteem or helplessness • Self-destructive behaviors (running away from home, self harm or talk of suicide) Stop Bullying also advises of warning signs that may point to your child being a bully including: • Kids increasingly getting into fights or arguments • Having friends who are bullies • Becoming aggressive • Being sent to the principal’s office or getting detention often • Blaming others for their problems • Not accepting responsibility for their actions • Being competitive and worried about their popularity/reputation The Kids Health website offers some good tips for kids that can minimize or even stop the negative effect that a bully will have on other kids. Remember that most bullying takes place between kids when adults aren’t around. Bullies will be certain to pick times and places where teachers are distracted or absent, or when a group of kids are together, such as recess, breaks or before or after school.

What can adults do? According to StopBullying.Gov, an American website on dealing with bullying, “when adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows that this can stop bullying behavior over time.” Here are Kid’s Health tips for parents, teachers, guardians or caretakers to share with and teach children: • Avoid the bully, if you can • Use the buddy system Always make sure you’re with a buddy when you know the bully will be around. Bullies are less likely to target a pair of kids together. You can also offer to be a buddy for a friend who is the target of a bully. • Hold the anger Don’t let the bully upset you. They are trying to get a reaction out of the kids they bully: an upset or angry reaction makes the bully feel powerful. Try using a ‘poker face’ and pretend not to react, or use ‘cool down’ strategies, like walking away and counting to ten, or taking deep breaths. Don’t give a bully satisfaction. • Be brave, ignore the bully and walk away • Tell an adult. Tell a teacher, parents or adult supervisors at the school about the bullying. • Talk about it. Talk to an older sibling, a parent, a friend or anyone you trust. Friends who are teachers recommend doing role-plays with kids, with the parents taking the role of a bully, so kids can practice responding to mean comments. Later, they can put the responses they have practiced into play when faced with a real bully. If your child is being bullied at school, parents should contact the teacher and principal at the school to resolve the issue. You should also consider going to see a counselor or psychologist with your child to help them address any issues of low-self esteem, trauma, anger or helplessness around being bullied. If your child is self-harming or talking about suicide, get them help urgently.

EDUCATION MATTERS Greetings and welcome to Education Matters. In this column, I respond to any question related to Education and Learning. In particular, issues that may be troubling and generating concern. On a very happy note, I was recently invited to meet with the Year Five students at Pelangi School in Ubud. They too, had a raft of questions for me and quite frankly, I was amazed at their level of maturity! (I certainly don’t remember being that insightful at such a tender age). Furthermore, this gathering provided a very clear snap shot of what our children are being confronted with in this remarkable technological world. Especially, issues relating to social media, self imagine and cyber bullying. So Year Five, thank you for the opportunity to meet you, it was a genuine privilege! Today’s letter comes from Boris of Nusa Dua. “ I have a six year old daughter and she does not speak very much, certainly not as much as other children. My wife is Indonesian, so she speaks Bahasa. I speak Russian and my daughter goes to a school were she is taught in English. Is she confused by having so many different languages around her or is there something else wrong”? Thank you for your letter Boris, you have touched on an issue that certainly appears to be on the increase in Bali, especially where a number of languages are frequently spoken in the family home. First and foremost, I would encourage you to have your daughter examined by a medical specialist to check if she has any problems with her hearing or voice. This will remove the possibility of any physical impediment being the cause of her Language Delay. Boris, I would not be too concerned about your daughter having three languages to learn or at least listen to. Children up to about the age of seven years, have a remarkable ability to absorb and process information. At this point in their young lives, their brain’s are soaking knowledge up at an amazing rate, so do be mindful of what you say around your daughter as it will be repeated! Speech is the most common and yet the most complex means of expression. It requires the coordination of

breathing and a number voice producing organs. Put simply, when a speech impairment is present to the extent where the individual”s speech deviates, it interferes with communication, attracts unfavourable attention and adversely affects the listener and certainly the speaker. A child’s overal speech pattern will usually become more understandable as she/he matures. However, some children will require direct training to eliminate pressing articulation (speaking) problems. To develop a rich vocabulary (number of words that are known), language needs to be valued and used. May I suggest the following strategies: 1. Place your daughter in Learning Opportunities where she must use her language skills. 2. Do not accept her simply pointing at what she wants but insist she tells you! 3. Make sure you and your wife both know about this strategy. Consistency is the key! 4. Don’t interupt or correct your child when she/he is speaking. 5. Use probing questions that will make it necessary for her/him to use more and different words. 6. Do not let others speak for her. 7. Do not let other children or family members mock or make fun of your child when she/he is speaking. Over the years, I have encountered a number of children and adults who have chosen to engage in Selective Mutism, namely they choose not to talk! Clearly, this behaviour is disturbing and must be addressed immediately, especially in the child’s formative years! Some of the motivation for this behaviour include: 1. A desire to control and manipulate others. 2. A means whereby they can avoid completing tasks that are not to their liking. 3. Avoid socializing with others. 4. Attention seeking. 5. Self loathing. Speech Disorders and Delays can range from the subtle

where they have no or little impact on daily living and socialization to the inability to produce speech or to understand and use language. Some speech problems such as those relating to physiological defects, for example, where the nerve impulses to the muscles of speech are not functioning correctly, generally require a much longer period of therapy and patience! Fortunately, only a very small percentage of children are at the most extreme level of severity and most can be addressed regardless of age. But ideally the sooner the better! However, because of the importance of language and communication skills in a child’s life, even mild to moderate disorders or disturbances can and do have a profound effect on all aspects of their life that will invaribly isolate them from their peers and Learning Environments. If you recognise the onset of Speech Delay in your child then please, seek out the assistance of a specialist immediately! Finally, my homily for this edition of Education Matters is: “Select the books you read with the same care and consideration you use to select your friends”.

The ISMILE Alam Atelier School The ISMILE Family of Schools is committed to the education of the whole child. We embrace the philosophies of life and learning that best support the children of today and encourage them to be valuable contributors to society. ISMILE Alam Atelier School was borne out of the yearning to extend learning outside the classroom and connect the learner with the natural environment. We aim for the school experience to be filled with joy, creative explorations, purposeful play, and full of wonder, where children and families are encouraged to investigate, discover the world and the community they live in. The learning environment is not limited indoors - it extends to the outdoors where they can be in contact with nature, learning about it and with it. The community is a big part of the learning process and our projects begin with Bali’s local resources and natural concerns. Set upon the lush fields of Berawa, Bali, our learning spaces are filled with natural light and fresh air. Discoveries can flow freely from the indoor setting to the outdoor areas.The wide outdoor areas invite learners to explore. Water play, mud pools, seedbeds, and woodworking are some of the features that appeal to the senses and stir curiosity. The beach is less than a kilometer away. The school buildings are beautiful reflections of the culture it is set upon. The learning materials are mostly sourced from the community with the genuine intention of supporting the local artisans. We are inspired by the educators of Reggio Emilia; we believe that the child is the constructor of his own learning and must be heard and respected. Relationships form the foundation of the school because the children learn best from and with their peers. Our educators are ardent learners who are also keen observers, mindfully creating possibilities based on the research done about the children’s learning process. We follow a developmentally-appropriate program that is supported by projects that the children have chosen for themselves. Learning is deeper and authentic because they are naturally motivated and inherently engaged. Their voices are documented and their languages are showcased and constantly evolving. Our practice is an interdisciplinary and holistic curriculum that focuses on the child. Our curriculum is constructed upon the key elements of research-proven and effective pedagogical approaches that equip the child to be a life-long learner in the 21st century.

School News Taman Rama Intercultural School – In Pursuit of Excellence

IGCSE subject courses start in Year 9 and conclude in Year 10. Each subject has a range of different assessment methods, including coursework, practical exercises, and oral and listening tests, projects and written examinations. Many Cambridge subjects value individual points of view and ideas, so it is important that learners develop the necessary skills to able to respond and express their own opinions in writing. At Taman Rama Intercultural School learners are encouraged to study a wide range of IGCSE subjects and follow a broad and balanced curriculum which supports progression into the advanced programme in Years 11 & 12. Taman Rama Intercultural School – Bali has alumni students at universities around world. Our learners consistently achieve high grades in their international examinations and many have won High Achievement, Top in Indonesia and Top in the World awards.

The Taman Rama Intercultural School - Bali, situated in North Denpasar, is a private Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) school serving the educational needs of the local and expatriate families that make up the community of Bali. Our school provides high quality education from Preschool to Year 12. Taman Rama Intercultural School - Bail prepares students for international examinations and routes to leading national and international universities. We have been a registered Cambridge international school since 2003 . Our learners take Cambridge Checkpoint assessment tests in Year 6 and Year 8, IGCSE examinations in Year 10, and AS and A-level examinations in Year 11 and 12, and our Indonesian students sit for national examinations in Year 6, 9 and 12. Our Cambridge programmes are designed to develop learners who are confident, responsible, innovative and engaged. We provide a supportive environment which recognises each individual’s talents, encourages pupil’s aspirations and creates opportunities for them to become responsible, self-disciplined adults. Our school bases many of its philosophies on the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and fully believes in the Indonesian national motto of ‘Unity in Diversity’ and the constitutional philosophy of Pancasila. Preschool Our Preschool programme, which begins with Toddlers (aged 2) and goes through to K2 (age 6), is committed to the development of high standards of international education. English is the language of instruction and communication in the classroom and children are encouraged to use English from an early age. English lessons are taught by native English speaking teachers and subject lessons cover all aspects of development including moral, social and emotional awareness, and independent thinking. The programme includes language, cognitive / mathematics, problem-solving and thinking skills, physical development, motor skills, and art, craft, music and dance skills. Daily lessons are structured around classroom and outside activities.

Cambridge Primary (6-11 years old) Cambridge Primary is a curriculum framework to develop English, Mathematics, and Science skills, knowledge and understanding in younger learners. These core subjects are complemented by studies in social issues, history and geography, as well as, studies in Indonesian language, art, the performing arts, foreign languages (French, Mandarin and Japanese), ICT, physical education and religion.

Our after-school Extracurricular Activities programme provides a wide variety of options for students. We cover art, dance and music, and we hold a musical show for students’ families biannually which is hosted at one of Bali’s major theatre venues. Our English, Mathematics and Science clubs give coaching and build confident for both international and government-organised academic competitions. And our sports programme prepares teams for various sporting events, tournaments and competitions throughout the year. There are also clubs for students interested in computing, crafts, gardening and environmentally issues and more. Recent studentled initiatives resulted in water-dispensers being installed across the school and a total ban on plastic in school canteens.

Cambridge Primary has Progression Tests at the end of year stage culminating in the Cambridge Checkpoint examinations in April of the final year of primary studies, Grade 6. As the first Cambridge Primary programme in Indonesia our international teachers are now some of the most experienced Cambridge Primary curriculum teachers in Indonesia. Cambridge Secondary (12 to 18 years old) Taman Rama Intercultural School’s Secondary programme begins with Lower Secondary, Year 7 and 8, and provides a natural progression for children from primary education. It builds on Cambridge Primary to develop each child’s knowledge and skills in English, Mathematics and Science, and introduces learners to a broader more academic curriculum which includes English language, Mathematics and Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), Commerce, Geography, History, Information Technology, Indonesian language, Art and Culture, Music, and Foreign language options of French, Mandarin and Japanese. At this stage of the programme there is a strong focus on English language and developing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, and ensuring learners are adequately prepared for the next stage of their education. It also gives learners an understanding of the types of subjects that are available at IGCSE. The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is one of the most recognised qualifications around the world. IGCSE courses are renowned for developing vital educational skills, including recall of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, team work and investigative skills.

Academic Integrity

Cambridge AS and A-levels are international qualifications which are widely recognised and valued by universities worldwide - including the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore.

Where have all the Classics gone? Who can name the 12 Labours of Heracles (Hercules to the Romans), the author of the Catalinarian Orations, the difference between the Iliad and the Odyssey? The provenance of the expression ‘Augean stables’ or ‘an eye for an eye’? (Spoiler: it’s not the Old Testament). Who knows that Xenophon’s Anabasis is one of the most exciting adventure stories in Hellenistic literature and that Hammurabi created an ethics code centuries before the Ten Commandments?

democratic society and the Western traditions of art, history, literature, music, philosophy, political thought and science. It also helps us understand the sources of the decline and perishing of these once mighty civilisations. By extension this should be a lesson in appreciating the dangers and threats to our own societies.

Do you know the story behind the quote ‘Is it not passing brave to be a king and ride your triumph through Persepolis’? (Spoiler: It’s from Christopher Marlowe’s Tamberlaine). Do you think of Shiraz as an old, illustrious city in Iran, rather than the wine?

A classical education develops our awareness of the great diversity in civilisations different from our own and an understanding of the relationship between different intellectual disciplines. The culture, literature, history, science, philosophy and politics of the Classical period represent some of the highest achievements of mankind, the study of which is relevant to many issues of contemporary societies.

These are not exactly trivia questions and you may be a little out of depth unless you have enjoyed the benefit of a classical education or have studied ancient Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian civilisations and their literature. Consider this as an unabashed ode to the classics, a hymn in defence of old languages, culture and literature, of classical education. Even in our modern times we realise that our present day society and civilisation, as well as our language, are direct descendants of the old cultures and civilisations of ancient Rome and Greece, the Levant, and the Middle-east. They are instrumental in the understanding of our own humanity and are a mirror from distant times to reflect upon the state and health of our contemporary society.

There is a difference between studying the ancient civilisations and studying the extinct languages of these civilisations. Modern Greek is a direct descendant of the original tongue and easier to learn if you have a good grounding in the classical version. Latin is at the base of the modern Romance languages and still used in biology, medicine and law. The technical vocabulary of the medical and legal professions and the hard sciences rests on the foundation of Latin and Greek. Latin is still a required subject for some higher degrees. For more concrete purposes you can argue that the study of ancient languages seems a moot point. After all, the known and existing texts have all been translated and diffused to libraries around the world.

You may consider Latin a dead language but as late as the Renaissance Latin was the lingua franca of scholars, scientists, lawyers, artists and educated people across Europe and the known world. It was the early Esperanto, a common language universally understood and used to communicate among people from various countries, languages, knowledge bases and disciplines. It was used to exchange ideas, promote commerce and advance science, disseminate international news and gossip. In later years this practice declined and more modern languages were substituted. For a time French and German were de facto universal communicator languages, ultimately supplanted by English which, unlike the inflected languages, does not have the rigid sentence structure, declinations of nouns or conjugated verbs and adjectives that must agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case. The absence of the need to think about whether a word is a subject, predicate, direct object, indirect object, part of a prepositional phrase, etc. makes English very easy to learn and attractive as a communication tool. And that was one of the reasons for the demise of Latin as a bridge language.

But the point I’m trying to make is that learning the antique languages puts us at the heart of understanding that civilisation as opposed to observing it from the sidelines. Reading the poetry of Ovid or Virgil, the Anabasis or the Iliad in original version brings you smack into the centre of the author’s ideas. Reading in original language gives us the key to understanding the subtleties, the rhythm and cadence of their language. It is uncanny and regrettable how much is lost in translation, how the subtleties of an expressed idea or concept can elude us. Some translations are inadequate because they fail to render the exact meaning of some expressions or concepts that are alien to our own culture. Translators can get very creative in rendering their version of the original text and get it totally wrong. It’s always a ‘reader beware’ situation when it comes to translations, even with our modern languages.

The study of ancient languages may seem arcane and unrelated to our modern world and the society we live in but its true worth reveals itself in a myriad of ways. For starters, it makes us appreciate and improve the understanding of our own language as a derivative of Latin and ancient Greek. It definitely gives us the facility and discipline to learn foreign languages and other subjects requiring the application of logical thought and analysis.

Lately there has been a revived interest in studying Latin among modern students and some contemporary children’s or YA literature such as Treasure Island, The Adventures of Tintin, Astrix, Harry Potter, Le Petit Prince, Peter Rabbit, and The Cat in the Hat have been translated into Latin to make the study more interesting.

The study of Latin and classical Greek trains the mind in higher order thinking, sharpening skills of critical and reflective thought, memory and close analysis, as well as aesthetic judgment, an appreciation of the beauty and power of these languages and the cultures that produced them. The passionate and erudite oratory of ancient demagogues, the timeliness and the beauty of classic literature stimulates our own love of literature in all its forms and manifestations.

Classical languages and studies have not been dropped from modern curricula but don’t go looking for instruction in Bali. Both the Cambridge International Programme and the International Baccalaureate do offer a syllabus in classical education, but apparently not in Bali. A quick and very informal survey among Bali’s international schools reveals that Latin and Greek, or even classical studies for A and AS levels are not part of the curriculum. A broader search turns up that Greco-Latin study is still very much alive as an elective in European schools, but compulsory in some countries for those seeking higher education in the sciences, medicine or law. In the USA and Australia it is mainly taught in private or Catholic schools.

Latin and Greek are not the only fascinating ancient languages. Try your hand at Sanskrit, Old Tamil, Coptic, Hittite, Sumerian and Akkadian Cuneiform, or Egyptian Heiroglyphics. Now there’s an interesting and entertaining communications tool.

By Ines Wynn

Don’t call them dead languages. These languages from antiquity live on in our modern speech like English which is a hybrid made up of 50% Latin and about 20% from classic Greek. You just don’t realise how much of our vocabulary is rooted in the old stuff. We’re not just talking about the learning of old languages but also about the study of core civilisations. A classical education contributes enormously to the broadening of the mind by the exposure to the art, culture, architecture, ethics and societal norms of ancient civilisations. Are modern day students aware that most of their subject matter is based on the understanding of Pythagorean mathematics, Euclidian geometry, Plato’s logic in dialogue, and Ptolemy’s geographic and astronomy charts? Not to mention ideas based on the rhetoric of a Cicero, the logic of the Socratic dialogues, the beauty of Homeric poetry, the plays of Aristophanes to whom Shakespeare owes more than a debt in passing, the wonderful tales of Ovid and Virgil. They may know about the achievements and military campaigns of Alexander The Great, the many Peloponnesian wars, the fall of Troy and a bit of Greco-Roman civilisation and culture thanks to Hollywood, but that is hardly a good grounding in understanding where our own forms of society and culture come from or appreciate how much our civilisation is based on that of the ancients. The development of democracy in the present world is owed to the ancient Greeks. They also gave us the alphabet. The republican form of government and a sound legal system originated with the Romans. The Romans were also great architects and builders, colonial administrators and superb military strategists whose accomplishments still survive in our modern times. We are all heirs to the cultural patrimony of Greece and Rome. Knowledge of the history of the classical world helps in understanding the core foundations of our own modern

Restaurant Review

A Burger House!

Burger Cartel is the latest in a long line of crazy restaurant names in Bali. According to the dictionary a cartel is a group of apparently independent producers whose goal is to increase their collective profits by means of price fixing, limiting supply, or other restrictive practices. How that can apply to a hamburger restaurant in Ubud I have no idea?

However this is a restaurant that features mainly a list a different hamburgers, all of which are served in a soft [not toasted] bun and accompanied by a generous serving of fat chips, also known as wedges, their skins intact for highest fibre content, and dips of mayonnaise and a kitchen produced tomato-based sauce, all individually named and well illustrated on their graphic menu.

different cheeses that I had difficulty in recognizing. I also found the house-produced tomato sauce quite tasteless, much preferring a standard commercial tomato sauce which was not available. The meat patty was excellent and was cooked exactly as I had requested, Medium Rare, very good. The Chicken Burger uses a slab of tempura chicken with a wasabi mayo, cucumber, tomato and French brie cheese. A Classic Fish Burger uses a Black Cod fillet, tartar sauce, cucumbers, lettuce and sweet cheddar. There is even a burger for a ‘hangover’; that uses a Black Angus patty, double cheddar, red onions and a fried egg with truffle mayonnaise. The Falafel uses two patties of same with a garlic sauce, tomato and red onion, whilst the Vegetarian Burger has grilled vegetables, goat cheese, truffled mayonnaise, caramelized onions, rocket and grilled Portobello mushroom. For the very hungry try the Tower Burger, it is again a Black Angus patty with double bacon, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, grilled aubergine and a fried egg. If you finish it under 10 minutes you also get a free Bintang beer.

Update Happy Chappy Express has opened its 1st outlet in

Legian. Whilst it is located on Jln. Padma Utara it is a little difficult to find as it is just off the street in the centre of a line of small shops at the entrance-way to the Garden View Hotel. On offer is a full range of dim sum as well as a selection of the most popular dishes from the main menu at their so popular main restaurant in Jln. Braban; Kung Pao Chicken [pictured], Szechuan Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork, Firecracker Chicken, Salt & Pepper Squid, etc. as well as vegetarian, rice and noodle dishes. Eat there, take-away or order for home delivery. Legian is just the first of this rapidly expanding chain, there will soon be one near you!

Hibiscus is a surprise! It is found on Jl. Drupadi, and presents

classic Indonesian but in a creative style, with a selection of international favourites. Even their Spring Rolls are different, minced chicken with pineapple and fresh mint in a crisp casing, so good. Many chicken mains including Lombok’s Taliwang, Bali’s Betutu and Rica-Rica, the fiery chicken from Manado in North Sulawesi. Other mains can be Bali’s Sweet Pork Belly with kecap manis or Sumatra’s Beef Rendang. Mie Goreng is served with chicken and Nasi Goreng is served wrapped in an omelette, Thai style [in a blanket]. For dessert; Black Rice Pudding or Klepon, cassava and coconut. Innovative and different, it is a pleasant experience.

Luca’s, Indonesia’s rapidly expanding pizza chain is about

to open in front of Made’s Warung in Seminyak, Jln. Raya Seminyak. Pizzas available include Boscaiola, Margherita Double Cheese, Diavola, Marinara, Hawaiian, Tonno e Chipola, Quattro Formaggi and Calzone plus a few creations such as The Joglo and Nutella Marshmellow.

BB52 is the burger house they are all talking about, Jln. Tanah Barak, Canggu. Even the all Vegan Mushroom Burger gets rave reviews. The Fries come with a truffled mayonnaise and Parmesan flakes. There are also a few other side dishes; Chilli con Carne, Mac & Cheese, Wet Corn, Pulled Pork. Its just a shame about their miniscule wine list. Komugi Bakery operates a small café at the front of the Papaya Supermarket, Jln. Patih Jelantik, Kuta. For some unknown reason restaurants and cafes in supermarkets rarely work, but this one is an exception to that rule. Only product from the bakery is on sale [eat in or take away], the seating is small and very basic, yet the place is always busy, and usually full. With almost everything for sale under Rp.20,000 it is perfect for that quick 5 minute lunch or any time snack. They feature Japanese breads and combinations that are most unusual. Perhaps the strangest is the Japanese Hamburger, a ham salad in a hamburger bun, a ham-burger! Another is their Sausage Croissant; a long sausage is split at each end and inserted in a croissant before baking, the result is squid-like tentacles protruding from both ends of the croissant, but very tasty, and often sold out! Flat and folded breads can contain many mixes; Bacon & Cheese, Bacon Corn & Mayonnaise, Sausage and Bacon. A slice of toast is topped with either Beef or Bacon and an egg. Japanese Obha topped with tuna or Takesumi, a Black bun stuffed with pork, onion and nori seaweed. There are even ‘dessert’ options; Choco Turtles, Durian Pan, Banana & Cream Cheese and a Croissant stuffed in a plastic cup with chocolate sauce. Whilst

there often a few Japanese amongst the customers most are locals, including many expats, who have discovered the cheapest eat in town! Now also at Plaza Renon.

Boy N Cow, Jln Raya Kerobokan, has a special for April.

Order their dry-aged Tomahawk Steak and get two glasses of red wine [B&G Cote du Rhone 2015, Deakin Estate Shriaz 2016 or Solar Viejo Tempranillo 2016] or two sides, for FREE.

Shinta is small and discreet, hidden away on Gang Puspa Ayu off Jln. Kartika Plaza, close to the Amnaya Resort. It is only open for dinner and serves very local food, tasty Indonesian. A family business where everyone, including the customers, are happy. Sates and spring rolls are very popular and they make a surprisingly good pizza. Cheap prices and big smiles.

Famous is the re-branding of what once was Urbana in Pengosekan, opposite to the front gate of Arma. Now under French management this quite magnificient spacious restaurant may now be successful. Behind the large main room is a pleasant garden area, in front ample car parking. The menu is mainly Italian with a few French touches. Start with a Black Bruschetta, Tuna Tartar, Procsuitto Melon or an Antipasto Platter of olives, proscuitto, parmesan, grilled vegetables and toast. There is a large range of Pizzas including the house special Duck and my favourite the Diavolo with chorizo and chilli. Pasta includes Spaghetti, Penne, Tagliatelli and Spinach Ravioli. The Cordon-Bleu [actually spelt correctly] main and a dessert of Crème Brulee or Crepes are the French influence. Other deserts include a Sweet Pizza.

Business & Travel

GREENSPEAK Cat Walk I traveled to Canada in late February, a month not notable for its warmth and charm. On Vancouver Island, frozen snowbanks receded reluctantly from the roads and even the hardy Islanders were wearing woolly hats and gloves. The temperature, day and night, was below zero. My sister keeps her house heated at 17C which does not feel very warm to a body long adapted to the tropics. Her two indolent cats permanently positioned themselves on top of the floor radiators one of them made a small, angry sound. Looking up, I caught a glimpse of another cat just outside the glass patio doors. He flicked away before I could get a good look but it did not seem to be wearing a collar. Beth’s cats were outraged by this intrusion to the point of spraying pungently against the patio doors to define their territory. “Feral cat,” explained Beth as she scrubbed the doors clean. “It’s been around before.” It was surviving outdoors in that bitter cold, foraging for food and water. Canada is a highly regulated country and all cats are supposed to be sterilized and vaccinated. But feral cats operate outside all rules. According to Wikipedia, a feral cat is a freely-ranging, wild-living domestic cat (Felis catus) that avoids human contact, does not allow itself to be handled or touched and generally remains hidden from humans. Feral cats on Vancouver Island are descended from pets which escaped or were abandoned, and become wilder with each generation. Beth called Shannon, a volunteer experienced in the arcane specialty of catching and dealing with feral and abandoned cats. She works for Kitty Cat Pals (KCP), which was established 11 years ago by two women concerned at the number and plight of the feral cats in the area. The cats were trapped and released after sterilization and vaccination. They are no longer released unless they have a place to sleep and are fed, since a cat recently operated on is particularly vulnerable to predators. Life as a feral cat on Vancouver Island is short compared to that of domestic cats. Dangers include disease, cars and predators like cougars and eagles. Feral cats here live an average of seven years compared to up to 20 for domestic cats. Adult male feral cats are characterised by very broad faces and large testicles, and can be very aggressive. Cats, whether feral or domestic, take a huge toll on wild birds. For this reason domestic cats should be kept indoors from dusk until dawn. One spring I was staying at the remote village of Bamfield on Vancouver Island’s wild west coast. Over the course of the winter almost every domestic cat and dog had disappeared into a sleek cougar who had figured out where the easy meals were. A feral cat has nowhere to hide.

are not valued by the local community for their very important role in managing pests.” Last year Villa Kitty received 1,017 cats and kittens, lost 496 to disease, sterilised about 550, vaccinated 909 and adopted out only 281. The low adoption rate reflects the transitory nature of Bali’s foreign population and the unfamiliar concept of keeping cat as pets in the Balinese community. “Villa Kitty’s role on this island has not been to trap, neuter and release. We have our hands full caring for many socialised, adoptable cats besides receiving, vaccinating, treating, neutering and breaking our hearts trying to find adopters for new cats. The reason we don’t trap/neuter/ release is because we might as well euthanize as release cats in unsafe areas inhabited by free ranging dogs, speeding vehicles and cruel humans. “Having said that, we have trapped a number of cats in Ubud and the surrounding areas and in particular the beautiful gardens of the Museum Puri Lukisan. The tiny kittens rescued from there were taken to Villa Kitty and socialised for adoption. The adult cats are sterilised and returned to the gardens to live, where we feed them. “More people now know about our free sterilization program and we are seeing more Indonesians coming in to adopt, but still not enough. We also offer to vaccinate free if the adopters cannot afford to pay. Most do give a donation.” Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” There’s also the issue of foreigners who adopt cats although they don’t live in Bali permanently, then dump them at Villa Kitty when they leave. If you’re here on a short stay and want a cat, please foster one. Bali’s feral cat issues and management are very different to Canada’s. Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Indonesia is a great country in so many ways. Hopefully broad-based, socially accepted animal welfare will someday rank among its achievements. Villa Kitty does stellar work with Bali’s unwanted cats. Please support it with cash donations, volunteer your time or consider fostering kittens. And please always, always make a donation when you use its services. Money is perennially short with this wonderful organisation. www.villakitty.com Ibu Kat’s book of stories Bali Daze - Free-fall off the Tourist Trail & Retired, Rewired - Living Without Adult Supervision in Bali are available from Ganesha Books and on Kindle

Now KCP brings in about 500 homeless cats and kittens a year, an average of 115 of which are feral adults; feral kittens bring the total to about 350 a year. Most are trapped, and Shannon has become an expert at this. Using a variety of humane padded traps and wildlife and heat sensing cameras, she has learned to wait patiently, often for hours, until the target feline enters the trap, then pulls a string to close the door. Baited traps are left in position for at least several days so the animal becomes accustomed to it before it is set. The photo shows an abandoned cat rescued from a dump, before and after a bath. Shannon kept this one. Kittens are tamed and re-homed. “The first generation is much easier to socialise. But most feral kittens can be socialized if we can get them by five weeks, seven weeks at the latest,” Shannon told me. “We have about 50 volunteers who take the kittens home to be socialised. “Adult feral cats are almost impossible to socialise. Since it can’t be domesticated and is at risk from hunger, disease and predation in the wild, we will find it a position as a barn cat. We always have a list of farmers looking for low maintenance pest management.” The success of KCP programs is a result of many dedicated volunteers and a compassionate, engaged community. The story of feral cats in Bali is much different. There are few happy endings here. The wonderful work being done by Villa Kitty and many dedicated individuals is inadequate to meet the needs of un-owned, uncared-for, diseased and abused cats here. Elizabeth Henzell, founder of Villa Kitty, says,” With the Wikipedia definition in mind, I would have to say that the majority of cats on Bali could be regarded as feral.

Plant Trees And Watch Communities Grow a medicinal herb and food supplement. It’s available at most local markets, with other businesses packaging this powerhouse in powder into capsule form to sell to expats and tourists. One of the better qualities of Moringa is that it requires little to no additional water source and it releases nitrogen into the ground, literally fertilising itself! There’s a lot to like about this leafy green plant - super healthy, easy on the environment, and a viable source of sustainable income for Bali’s rural population. Solemen is working with four families that they currently support in four different regencies on the island to establish a grower’s co-op. These families will receive seedlings and training in how to cultivate, grow, harvest, process and package Moringa. One of the problems these growers must overcome is the supply chain. When the Moringa is harvested, the only place it can be sold is in local markets, leaving them with a whole lot of plant and not enough customers. Solemen supports growers by buying the product back from them and giving them to other Solebuddies as healthy supplements. But there’s more that can be done! Visit the Solemen website to find more information about how you can get Moringa is a native plant that grows well in our tropical climate. involved Hailed as the next ‘superfood’. Moringa (locally known as ‘kelor’) has been used in traditional Balinese society for generations as See more on the website: www.solemen.org In February of this year, Solemen launched the The Moringa Project, a plan to partner with local farmers to create sustainable economic solutions. It’s a community based initiative, intended to give Solebuddies the opportunity to help themselves with natural resources that are readily available, naturally renewable, and ecofriendly.

Winterfell and Kings Landing light up the screen!

Bali House & Home

Muntigunung Community Social Enterprise (MSE) is an organisation that was created to provide a market and income for local families in the remote area of Muntigunung, on the dry, arid, slopes of Mt Batur in Northeast Bali. In 2004, the Future for Children, a Swiss NGO, working together with Yayasan Dian Desa, set up the program. The project first built 20 small buildings and rainwater storage tanks for a year-round supply of water. The progam not only provides the villagers with income, but also helps support access to healthcare and education. I spoke with the Founder of the Swiss NGO Future for Children, Daniel Elber, who raises funds for the program in Switzerland and helped set up the project.

Yayasan Dian Desa decided to follow four clear strategic objectives: assure a sustainable water supply, create one job per family, reduce child mortality rate by 50% and assure an education for all children, to eradicate poverty in Muntigunung sustainably. BA: What are the MSE projects? DE: The food enterprise project produces a number of high quality healthy food products (cashewnuts, rosella tea, rosella sweets, rosella salt, dried mangos, brown lontar palm sugar, moringa powder, moringa salt). The handicraft enterprise produces lontar and baskets, bags and hammocks. The program continuously trains employees with new skills, to make additional products. Over the past few months, around 30 women of one hamlet were trained to produce bags and accessories in crochet and macrame technique, products which are already selling at the Sanur Shop. There are now projects running in 36 villages in Muntigunung. The trekking enterprise (which uses locals as guides) takes vistors on a trekking adventure, walking from Lake Batur over the mountains to Muntigunung, visiting some of the production sites in the small villages. BA: What has the impact of the project been?

BA: How did the project get started? DE: I found out that the women begging around Ubud all come from a very dry part of North Bali, called Muntigunung. The inhabitants were forced to walk up to 5 hours daily to bring enough water to their houses to survive the day. I (contacted) Yayasan Dian Desa in Yogjakarta (which oversees the program). The head of the NGO, Anton Soediarwo, visited Muntigunung. He realised it would be possible to find long term sustainable solutions to the poverty problem of the local population, after a thorough assessment of the situation. The problems that the population (36 small villages with more than 1000 families and around 6000 people) were facing included no access to water, no access to health services, malnourishment, high child mortality, high illiteracy, no jobs and no income. That’s why the women were begging.

DE: MSE formed three social enterprises (food products, handicraft products, trekking), employing around 200 people. Today, nearly 15 years after its start, 28 out of 36 villages (80%) now have a sustainable water supply of at least 25 litres per head per day. 96% of the families have access to toilets, the child mortality rate has dropped to nearly zero, 80% of the adults are now registered and in possession of an ID card, allowing them access to health services. The program has planted over 561 000 trees, which should create additional financial benefit in the years to come. BA: How has the project been received by the local community? By the local and regional government? DE: It has taken a (while for the) approach of “the Munti team” to be accepted by the Muntigunung population.. It is not a simple undertaking to bring a process to life which is very complex and contains so many different aspects like water supply, water purification, capacity building, hygienic improvement, health, reforestation etc. By involving the local communities into the planning and decision process and by delivering on our promises, acceptance has grown

over the years. I believe that today, MSE is a respected partner by the population and the government on all levels. In 2011, one of MSE’s activities was awarded a global eco tourist award by the Skal Organisation, and in 2014, Muntigunung Poverty Eradication Program was elected by international journalists as one of 100 sustainable projects worldwide with an innovative, replicable and measurable approach (with articles in 50 newspapers worldwide). In 2016, the Singapore Management University wrote a case study about the MSE appoach and in 2018 the Indonesian Government declared Muntigunung as a strategic future tourism area (Desa Wisata) based on the success of the trekking activity. BA: I know that Bali Buda sells MSE’s products. Are there other outlets where someone can find the products? DE: There is a Muntigunung Shop at Jl. Danau Poso 57 in Sanur and “Above the Clouds” in Nyuh Kuning, Mother’s/ WAMM restaurants in Nyuh Kuning, Bintang Supermaket Ubud, some hotel boutiques and others sell the products. BA: Going forward, what are the plans or planned products for the social enterprise? Any new projects planned? DE: MSE is always looking for new ways to combine natural looking products with technology (computerized embroidery, laser printing) in order to develop customized products for customers. Plans for new trekking routes are in the making. In addition, MSE is still in the (planning stages) with batik and wig production, which could turn into another social enterprise with the time. And....then there are still many families without employment in Muntigunung.....so new ideas will have to come sooner or later. Find out more about Muntigunung Community Social Enterprise and their programs and products on their website, https://muntigunung.com , or follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/muntigunung/.

Orpheus is not a Myth in Bali If you love old myths and legends, you undoubtedly know the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, legendary and tragic lovers of antiquity. It is one of the most famous and beloved Greek myths, about love and passion, but also about the weaknesses of the human spirit. Orpheus was born in Thrace, the son of the sun god Apollo and the muse Calliope. Apollo gave his son a lyre and taught him how to play. Orpheus was extraordinarily gifted and his music was un-resistable to humans and animals; even trees and rocks were entranced with his music. His fame was such that he was asked to join Jason and the Argonauts as their voyage would take them past the spot of those infamous Sirens, the ones that sang mesmerising songs and so caused the sailors to shipwreck their boats. Orpheus’ lyre music overcame the lure of the Sirens’ bewitching songs and they sailed safely past. Soon after Orpheus married Eurydice, an oak nymph whom he loved with a strong passion. But the lovers were star crossed and on their wedding day Eurydice stepped on a viper while dancing to her husband’s music. She was bitten and died instantly. Orpheus was distraught and desperate and tried to bring her back from the dead with his enchanting music. He travelled to the Underworld where he played and sang so mournfully that his music softened the heart of Hades, the ruler of the Underworld and he was allowed to take Eurydice back to the world of the living on condition that he must walk in front of her and not look back until both had reached the upper world. But Orpheus began to suspect that Hades had deceived him and

wanted to make sure Eurydice was indeed following him. Just as he reached the portals of Hades and daylight, he turned around to check, and because Eurydice had not yet crossed the threshold, she vanished back into the Underworld and was lost to him. The story of Orpheus and Eurydice has been a theme in a number of other myths and tales and there are some interesting universal cultural parallels to be found in the Japanese tale of Izanagi and Izanami, the Mayan story of Itzamna and Ixchel, the Indian myth of Savitri and Satyavan and the biblical story of Lot and his wife when escaping from Sodom.

out smash hit play, all dressed up in a modern version is coming to Bali. ORPHEUS was created in 2016 by the Flanagan Collective and Gobbledigook Theatre with words by Alexander Wright and music by Phil Grainger and has been touring Europe, Asia and Australia to be performed to sell-out crowds. The production bills itself as ‘a modern telling of an ancient myth, a tale of impossible, death defying love told through hair raising spoken word and soaring soul music, woven in a modern world of dive bars, side streets and ancient Gods’. A synopsis of the play tells us that Dave is single and turning 30. He’s stood at the bar. Eurydice is a tree nymph. And Bruce Springsteen is on the jukebox. The play will tour all around Bali from 22 to 30 April so check your favourite location and get your tickets pronto. It’s bound to be a magical and unforgettable evening. Get more information on Facebook /orpheusontour and Instagram @orpheusontour Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.tickettailor. com/events/theysentmetoyou Prices are 200k Early Bird (where still available) and 300k General Admission.

The story has been adapted for the theatre and popularised in movies, operas, musical interpretations and modern literature. Black Orpheus, a 1959 movie by Marcel Camus sets the story in a favela in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. Jean Cocteau created Orphic Trilogy over a 30-year period and Philip Glass created the chamber opera Orpheé in 1991. Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, David Almond, Richard Powers and other authors have rewritten the story in novels and strips. And now ORPHEUS, a very special award winning contemporary UK production, a critically acclaimed and sell-

Building & Maintenance

“A Toxic Brew” Those immortal words from Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” come back to me quite often these days. “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” He was, of course, talking about being surrounded by sea water, a fate being suffered by more and more houses in Bali. Make no mistake we are facing a water crisis that is getting worse every day. As more buildings are built, more bores are drilled to suck water out of a water table that simply cannot cope and drawing seawater further and further inland. We should think carefully about the liquid that makes up 90% of our bodies, after the oxygen we breath, water is probably the most important thing keeping us alive. In spite of this there are those who own water companies who believe that everyone should have to pay for their water. “How dare people expect free water, anyone would think it just falls out of the sky”…. But just a minute….. It does doesn’t it? Humungous volumes of soft, beautiful, pure water falls from the heavens above onto the earth beneath. As it lands it absorbs all the dead rats, fertiliser, mosquito chemicals and dog poo we have lying around, it then seeps into the ground where it picks up a few nasty bacteria from septic tank leakages and the neighbour’s pig sty. As it travels lower it absorbs a few heavy metals: lead, cadmium, mercury and the like followed by calcium and manganese which makes it hard before entering the water table proper where it may well mix with some sea water making it saline. We now drill a hole up to 50 metres deep, install a pump and, at great expense, pump this toxic brew back up to the surface where, at even more expense to say nothing of inconvenience, we pump it through god knows how many filters, softeners and conditioners to make some feeble attempt at removing all the noxious contaminants it has collected on its adventure through the earth. High

pressure pumps drive it through filtration systems, using electricity and an endless supply of filter cartridges and membranes which may need changing on a monthly basis. The hard water leaves “scale” everywhere blocking our water heaters, leaving fur in our kettles, white marks on our glass, thick deposits in our washbasins, toilets and the tiled walls and floors of our bathrooms and leaves our clothes and bedsheets grey and as crusty as a fresh baguette. Now that’s a really clever way of doing things isn’t it? Might it not be a good idea if we collect the water as it falls from the sky and store it in its pure, unadulterated form ready for use at a later date? We are, of course, talking about rainwater harvesting. But is it possible? Is it viable? Yes, of course it is but we will need: • Some gutters on our buildings to collect the water. • Tanks to store it in. • A little engineering magic to allow the rain to wash the roof off before we start collecting water. • Enough roof area to collect the amount of water we need. • Some basic filtering to stop leaves and the like getting into the tank. • To keep the water in the dark so that algae doesn’t grow in it. • A small pump to supply the water to our taps. Other than that it is all fairly straightforward really. To make such a system we will need to answer some basic questions: • How much water will we need? • How much water can we collect? • How much water do we need to store? If we are careful with our use of water an average couple can expect to use around 170 litres of water per day or

62,000 litres per year. See the water usage calculator at https://www.mrfixitbali.com/water/water-usage-bills-andcharges/water-usage-calculator.html. Denpasar averages around 1,650 mms of rain a year giving us 1,650 litres for each square meter of roof area. That’s 98,000 litres per year from a 60 square meter roof. Obviously rainfall varies considerably and, generally speaking, we will get more rain on higher ground though it’s as dry as a camel’s buttocks on the bukit. We will need enough storage to get us through the dry season and, rather like the cash flow in a business we need to plot our expected collection and usage of water through the year. We also need to allow for a storage “buffer” to get through those exceptionally dry years. The storage system needs to be carefully designed to protect our precious water from contamination. Finally, if you are unable to stop that overzealous pembantu’s daily habit of throwing a single towel into the washing machine and setting it on “extra long two hour wash with copious rinsing” then I suspect rainwater harvesting will not be for you. If you are interested you will find more information including calculations and storage on the webpage at www.mrfixitbali.com/water/water-supply/rainwaterharvesting-256.html or you can contact us through the website.

SOM CHAI EQUATORIAL LUNCH MONDAY 15TH APRIL, 2019 – FROM MIDDAY Som Chai, Jl. Raya Kerobokan No.86A, Kerobokan

Join us at Som Chai for a three course meal and welcome drink to celebrate Warwick Purser and Bali Children Foundation. The event will show case Warwick Purser’s Equatorial batik collection with a share of proceeds from ticket sales, fashion sales and other activities going to Bali Children Foundation for the Food for Thought scholarships program.

C/Bm/I-27 March 19

Food for Thought was founded by Sarong Groups Will Meyrick, partnered with Métis, Indo Wines, The Alilia, Marriott Hotels, The Lovina and Saigon Street. The charity raises funds for hospitality scholarships for Bali’s disadvantaged youth and provides quality mentoring and experience in these high end properties. Warwick’s story is so big we do not have the space to cover it here!

Body & Spirit

Beauty & Health Art, Beauty & Charm Art, Beauty and Charm, are words that come to mind at the Waroeng Djamoe Spa at Hotel Tugu Bali. The moment I stepped out of the car I felt like I’d entered an ancient world from Colonial times of Java and Bali. The hotel has many unique antiques throughout the hotel including the five private rooms of the spa.

Soon our host arrived and led us through a labyrinth like walkways graced with flowers towards the spa rooms. We were greeted at a wooden door by two lovely Balinese women who would attend to us for the next two hours. Entering this healing sanctuary was a garden with a table and two garden chairs, a black and white tiled bathtub, big enough for two people and a large turquoise square pool surrounded by flowers. A sense of peace filled me. Widya led us to the inner chamber where two old fashioned barber chairs sat next to a cabinet. Clearly these were used for pedicure treatments. Two large antique chests, which served as the massage tables stood majestically in the centre of the spacious room. These were the largest massage beds I had ever seen. Artwork adorned the walls giving the room a state of beauty and peace. Widya handed me a sarong and panties and directed me to a changing room as she handed Micha a sarong too. Even the changing room was lovely containing a fish pond and single bathtub with antique fixtures giving the room an old fashioned look.

At Tugu Bali not just the furnishings are antique, the spa embraces the authentic indigenous health treatments that have been used for centuries in Java and Bali in what we now call “spa”. The traditions blended aspects of spirituality with the physical healing arts to achieve the ultimate in mind, body and soul harmony to heighten total deep relaxation. For higher castes a special ambiance was created in a secluded atmosphere and the ministrations of the healer would cause a kind of hypnosis for the patient, sending them into a state of peacefulness. Healers knowledgeable of the powers of nature and its effect on the sense of smell, used flowers to create the atmosphere of the treatment rooms. Frangipani, tropical magnolia, rose, jasmine and ylang ylang are believed to be the flowers of the higher deities. Incense, or ‘dupa’ as it’s called, also has mystical properties, knowing which are used at specific times and for specific purposes. Centuries before the Western spa concept was created, the Javanese were incorporating flowers and incense to stimulate the spirit and expedite the relaxation of the mind. Only after the relaxation begins, would the physical treatment begin, often with a short prayer or mantra to accompany it. It’s believed that this approach permits the treatment to penetrate the soul and when the hands begin to touch the body with rhythmic movements of the hands massaging the entire body. Like a graceful dancer the healer will search for the areas requiring attention and apply the healing power of their hands.

Waroeng Djamoe Spa offers luxurious authenticity in its treatments and traditional products. They recommend treatments such as The Balinese Pijitan or The Javanese Pijitan massage that have been used for a thousand years. I came with my boyfriend who adores antiques and beautiful things, knowing that he would appreciate the ambiance and décor. As we waited in the lobby for our host we wandered around admiring the artwork. Hotel Tugu probably has the finest collection of antiques in Bali.

You may indulge in a stay at any of spectacularly luxurious pavilions with gigantic king-size beds and your own plunge pool and private dining area. You may also be pampered with authentic traditional Javanese and Balinese spa treatments in the privacy of your choice of pavilion. You may choose from Kampong Suite, Dedari Suites or the ocean view Rejang Suites located on the upper floors of the charming Javanese houses. The Puri Le Mayeur is dedicated to the passionate love affair between Belgian painter, Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merpres, who moved to Bali in 1932 and his beautiful muse model of his paintings, the famous Legong dancer Ni Polok. You’ll feel like a time traveler when entering the Walter Spies Pavilion, a romantic art deco era of Java in the early 20th century, dedicated to the legendary German artist and poet Walter Spies, who made Bali his home.

By the time I removed all of my jewelry and was ready for massage, Micha was already climbing up on his massage table. The table was so wide I wasn’t sure where to place my arms. I settled them beside my body as Widi asked what kind of pressure I preferred. We were having the Pijitan Gemulai Penari (Balinese Dancing Massage). This special massage was designed to let you fall under the magnetism of the beautiful and refined Balinese dancing therapists and feel the relaxation through their magic hands that followed the rhythm of Balinese dancing music. Let the magic and relaxation begin. Soon I couldn’t help drifting off as she pressed points and kneaded muscles. This massage was so relaxing and soothing to my tired muscles as I listened to the Balinese dance music, which enhanced the sensations. Actually I fell asleep under Widi’s magic fingers. An hour later I regained consciousness and sleepily looked around. Micha was sitting on his massage table smiling at me with a peaceful look on his face. After wrapping the sarong around my body I slowly emerged from the room and found the huge bathtub full of water with red rose petals floating on the surface. Widya invited us to climb in. We settled in at opposite ends of the huge tub enjoying the warm water, swirling our hands through the rose petals. The therapists soon brought us a pot of ginger tea and two plates of fresh fruit. We enjoyed our snack and tea we as we chatted in the tub about how wonderful the massage was and being in such a romantic and graceful sanctuary of beauty.

BOOMER CORNER Use it or Lose it -- Stimulating the Brain after 60 An early Boomer column ‘Mind Changes – When to Worry’ by Susan Tereba provided information on identifying dementia. The good news is that losing your keys is just age-relate memory loss, not dementia. We can actually delay memory loss and improve brain function indefinitely by adopting lifestyle changes and keeping the thinking box stimulated.

Playing games, especially those that involve memory and sequencing such as bridge and mahjong, are excellent for keeping the brain sharp. So are crossword puzzles.

‘Use it or lose it’ refers to all the equipment we were issued with at birth… physical, sexual and mental. Inevitably it will all start to degrade over time. Hip replacements and Viagra can address the first two, but once our mental acuity disappears it can never be regained. After about age 60 the brain begins to shrink in size. After a lifetime of gaining accumulated knowledge, it becomes less efficient at accessing that knowledge and adding to it. I’m personally very aware of this slow shift; the mental filing system isn’t anything like as efficient as it used to be. Several studies show a correlation between cognitive stimulation and continued cognitive health in seniors. Stretching our brains in new directions stimulates the grey cells and slows memory loss. Another important factor is social engagement. A study conducted by several leading cognitive scientists and published in The International Journal of Epidemiology found that participation in social activities outside the family may have a bigger impact on cognitive function than social contacts with family. Keeping your mind sharp is largely a matter of common sense: eat lots of vegetables, don’t smoke, drink in moderation, exercise, read, hang out with your friends, learn new things, don’t sweat the small stuff. First of all, don’t buy into the stereotypes of aging and memory loss. My mother drove her car until she was 92 and my grandfather was still beating me at chess well into his 80s. In Indonesia we are technically geriatric at 60; we’re not allowed to donate blood after age 60 or apply for a new credit card after 65. Remember when we were in our teens looking at older people? That generation of 65-plus expected to be old, so they mostly looked old and acted old. Our generation is very different. We are the Baby Boomers; not only are we not old, but we have attitude. I think that gives us an edge in the keeping-the-marbles department. There are lots of things we can do to keep the brain agile. Challenge your brain According to the Harvard Medical School, challenging your brain with mental exercise is believed to activate processes that help maintain individual brain cells and stimulate communication between them. Learning a new language is a full-brain workout and also involves social engagement. If your Indonesian is not fluent, find a teacher or a class at your level. Cinta Bahasa in Ubud is excellent. If we live here even part of the time, it‘s only polite to speak the local language as best we can.

Exercise the physical body too There’s an undeniable connection between the brain and the body. If you exercise your body, your brain will benefit. Both high and low intensity anaerobic and aerobic exercise can be beneficial for brain health. Even walking or cycling for 30 minutes a day reduces brain cell loss and can also significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other tiresome diseases. Yoga is especially good because the mind is constantly engaged throughout the session. A word about yoga safety – there are many poor, even dangerous, yoga classes in Bali with large classes and under-experienced, disengaged ‘teachers’. Avoid flow classes unless you are very experienced. Seek a teacher who has small classes and pays careful attention to alignment and safety. Iyengar, Hatha and Yin are usually safe, slow yoga traditions with a focus on alignment.

Activate all your senses The more of our senses we use in learning something, the more of our brain is involved in retaining the memory. So try tactile arts like ceramics or wood carving, cook new dishes, guess the ingredients of the dish you are eating. Remove distractions De-clutter your house and assign a permanent place for your keys, eyeglasses, purse and other often-misplaced articles. Auditory discrimination becomes an issue as we grow older; sitting in a restaurant trying to talk to friends with traffic noise, a juicer buzzing, background music and other conversations going on around you can be very frustrating. Choose a quiet place to meet and don’t be afraid to ask the staff to turn the music down (tolong turunkan musik). Have an active social life Experts believe that social interaction requires us to engage areas of the brain involved in memory and attention, the same mental processes that are used in many cognitive tasks. Staying socially engaged may support brain health, and one study suggests that activities combining social interaction with physical and mental activity may help prevent dementia. So we can bundle this benefit along with mahjong, dancing and that moderate drinking mentioned earlier. Repeat things

Dancing is another excellent way to move the body and the brain, especially salsa, tango, line dancing or anything with complex steps. When we dance our brain releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that create a feeling of comfort, relaxation, enjoyment and power. Music and dance activate the sensory and motor circuits of our brain and also the pleasure centers. Listen to Music A study in the journal Neuron showed that listening to music may sharpen the brain’s ability to anticipate events and stay focused. I find choir very mentally stimulating, especially since I don’t read music and have to memorise the different parts (often in foreign languages) while managing breathing and voice technique and watching the choir leader. It’s a workout. Above all, perhaps, keep your sense of humour and find the light side in the darkest situation. When we’re down to our last few marbles, we’re going to need all the laughs we can get.

By Ibu Cat

Repeat aloud what you’ve just heard, read or thought about and write them down to reinforce the memory or connection. If you place one of your belongings somewhere other than its usual spot, tell yourself out loud what you’ve done. Don’t repeat reminders often over a short space of time but space them out for best retention -- remind yourself every hour or three. And don’t hesitate to ask for information to be repeated.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Handy Pocket Guide to Tropical Herbs & Spices by Wendy Hutton If you’ve ever wandered around an Asian wet market and saw things that you don’t have any clue about or how they could possibly be used in cooking, Handy Pocket Guide to Tropical Herbs & Spices is the book for you. This useful, portable (though not exactly “pocket” size) reference introduces 50 herbs, spices and aromatics most commonly found in Southeast Asian cuisines. After a full-color two-page spread of herbs and spices, the rest of the book is devoted to the discussion of each plant. All entries are grouped according to botanical family in alphabetical order. The scientific name plus usually four common regional names are given, e.g. Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Tagalog (Philippines), etc. Typically, one page of 3-4 paragraphs is devoted to each spice/herb along with a thumbnail close-up and a still life. There’s a basic, short review, the plant’s country or region of origin, how it’s cultivated and its preparation and use. Though it’s not a cookbook and can’t lie open on a counter, the names of dishes in which the spice or herb is featured are also provided. The color photos make for easy identification. The index includes the common English names and Latin scientific names but does not include where the spice is grown or in which cuisines it is used in. Indonesian regional cuisines are blends of the cultures of every ethnic group that ever invaded the country – Chinese, Indian, Spanish, Dutch, American. From the condensed, insightful two-page historical overview of spices from ancient times to the present, I learned a few unexpected facts: Pepper (merica) was once such a valuable spice in medieval Europe that it was literally sold by the grain. *Before the arrival of chilies from the Americas in the 16th century, peppercorns were the main source of spiciness in tropical Asian food. *Several indigenous spices that made the East Indies famous all over the world are themselves seldom used in Indonesian cooking. *Cloves, an essential ingredient

in Indonesian clove kretek cigarettes, has to be imported from Zanzibar to its original home because of the very high demand in its homeland. The book straightens out some common misconceptions and misnomers: The spice commonly sold in Indonesian markets as cinnamon is not true cinnamon but casia, a more strongly flavored and cheaper related species. *Filipinos confusingly call Indian Borage (daun kaming) oregano. *Spring onions are mistakenly called shallots in Western countries, even though they bear no resemblance to shallots. *Indonesian cooks translate daun salam as Bay Leaf, though there is no resemblance in appearance or flavor. *The Torch Ginger, a native of Java, is rarely found in Javanese cuisine. Studded throughout 60 pages of high-quality writing are small gems on gardening, buying, storing, cooking, substituting and other culinary and healthy-eating tips on how to make the most of these tasty flavorings that are sold in traditional markets loose and are generally fresher than those found in the West. *Buy whole spices whenever possible as the flavor of spices, which already have been ground to a powder, will diminish quickly. *To maximize the flavor and make them easier to grind, heat spices or herbs gently in a dry pan until they begin to smell fragrant (but remove from flame before

they change color). *Remove the seeds from chilies if you don’t want the dish to be too hot. *Galangal, the pungent, tangy member of the ginger family, is so obstinately tough that you need to either cut it into pieces or bruise it with the flat side of a cleaver first, then add it to the cooking pot. *Candlenuts (kemiri) contain a lot of oil and can become rancid quickly, so store them in a closed container in the fridge. *Garlic (bawang putih) not only has significant nutritive value, but also contains an antibiotic substance which inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi and helps reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels. *Ginger (jahe) is widely used throughout Asia to improve digestion and counteract nausea and vomiting. This engaging little book is for reading pleasure and enlightenment. Though not an exhaustive encyclopedia (which still has yet to be published!), the representative plants in Tropical Herbs & Spices cover all that are essential to the Indonesian kitchen. It does not contain all the plants that Asian purveyors have to offer and has only four recipes - a chutney, a sambal and three mouth-watering spice mixes. You’ll still need a proper regional cookbook to find more recipes, but this thin volume is fun and informative to read, its magic carpet of ingredients a “must” for lovers of tropical tastes.

Democracy and Equality in Balinese Gamelan Part I Bali still has a very traditional society and the late Made Wijaya went so far as to say a ‘medieval’one, albeit existing and functioning in the modern world. In this sense, the way Balinese society operates is still far from democratic or equal in the Western “free world” sense of the word. Men still make family and community decisions; are community leaders; and are required to be present at community meetings. Ceremonial preparation tasks are divided based on gender lines and men and women socialize only with the same sex due to this division. For example, you will see men and women in groups separated from each other: women making offerings and men slaughtering animals or preparing food. The Hindu caste system that Bali adopted from India (fortunately without the ‘untouchables’ category) is obviously undemocratic and - even though officially obsolete due to colonization, independence and eventually instatement of a democracy - is still applied in terms of language and civilities. In terms of inheritance, traditionally (and this still applies today in most families) everything goes only to the sons. Also, men are always the head of the household and therefore make all the important decisions. There are hardly any instances in Balinese society where democracy and equality are fully applied. Gamelan, however, is the exception. Anyone can play gamelan: all genders, all ages, all ethnicities, all sexualities, the diffabled. The earliest documentation of women playing gamelan is a photo from Singaraja in the late 19th century. I also found a photo of dwarfs playing in an ensemble in North Bali from the same time period. Even though I have never seen documentation of children playing gamelan this far back in history, based on the stories of teachers from the early 20th century it was not only permitted but encouraged. Today many women play gamelan, not only as exclusive female ensembles but also mixed with men. They are accepted to play any instrument and now compete directly with men. When there is a decision to make, the whole group is involved - a decision is made based on the majority vote, not on that of the leader of the ensemble. This applies to everything, including finances, and is essential to the strength and continuity of the group as a whole. More on democracy and equality in gamelan in the next edition of Kulture Kid.

Local News American man caught at Bali airport with 31 active bullets inside his suitcase Just a week after Mexican national Jose Fabian Ibarra Valdez was caught at Bali’s Ngurah Rai international airport carrying ten live bullets in his luggage, airport officials have arrested an American passenger bound for Incheon, South Korea, after they seized 31 live bullets from his suitcase. The man, who has identified only by his initials, DT, was taken aside when security noticed something unusual inside his luggage during the X-ray scan. The airport’s general manager, Haruman Sulaksono, confirmed that the search that followed revealed a number of dangerous items within the passenger’s luggage. Last Sunday night our Avsec [Aviation Security] personnel again found a prospective passenger carrying dangerous goods in the form of 31 bullets and 2 magazines in the suitcase,’ he said as quoted in Tribun Bali. When questioned, the man admitted that he was aware of the bullets and magazines in his suitcase, but failed to report the items to airport security officers, a legal requirement if carrying items listed as ‘dangerous goods’. Though the man was able to present a weapon ownership permit, the number of bullets he was carrying far exceeded the maximum limit allowed on a flight, which is 12. According to a report by Kumparan, the traveler had managed to bring the bullets from the US without any problem. The man has been handed over to the airport police station for further investigation. [Coconuts Bali April 2, 2019] Police arrest American for stabbing an Australian in front of Santa Fe Bar & Grill Police arrested an American resident, JBL, 52, after allegedly stabbing an Australian man, SWM, 39, in front of Santa Fe Bar & Grill on Jalan Dyana Pura, Seminyak on Friday afternoon. The Australian was rushed to Sanglah Hospital for treatment after being stabbed with a knife in the left side of his stomach. The victim is still being treated and isn’t allowed to leave the hospital. A witness said that the incident began when the Australian man began causing trouble while apparently drunk outside Santa Fe Bar & Grill at around 3.30pm. He screamed at and taunted several people. There were many foreign tourists passing through the area at that time, and according to an article in beritabali.com, were frightened with the victim’s behavior. The suspect was one of the tourists passing by the area while SWM was taunting passersby and people in the bar. According to police, the drunk man taunted the suspect, who at first let it go, as he had an injured hand and he saw that the victim was drunk. But the suspect couldn’t control his anger after the victim hit him in the face. “He was furious,” the witness said. Then the suspect attacked the victim and stabbed him with his pocket knife and the drunk man fell down covered in blood. Police quickly arrived at the scene, led by First Inspector Budi Artama. They brought the Australian man to Sanglah Hospital and arrested the American man at the scene. The Head of Kuta Polsek Criminal Investigation Unit, First Inspector Putu Ika Prabawa, confirmed the incident to the journalists on Sunday. Police said that more information about the incident will be released soon. [Seminyaktimes.com April 1, 2019] Indonesia government issues new air fare guidelines to remedy high cost of flying domestically The Minister of Transportation has established the minimum and maximum scheduled economy air fares that Indonesian airlines can charge. The rules stipulate that the lowest economy fare an airline can charge is 35% of its highest permissible fare under the tariff rules. Quoted by the State News Agency Antara, the Secretary of the Director General of Civil Aviation, Nur Isnin told a press conference on Friday, March 29, 2019: “We have released two regulations. One regarding the Ministerial Decree Number 20 and the other Ministerial Decree Number 72 regarding legal air fares.” Isnin confirmed that the minimum fare that can be charged by an airline is 35% of the full fare economy tariff. If, for instance, the current highest economy fare is Rp. 1 million then then cheapest fare on that route would become Rp. 350,000. The Ministerial Decrees have been published following weeks of public complaints from the public and tourism operators that recent increases in airfares were disrupting the economy. The new regulations also require airlines to maintain transparency by publishing their fare structures that must comply with the new rules. All Indonesian airlines are being asked to comply with the new tariff rules immediately. [Balidiscovery.com April 2, 2019]

34 Man faces firing squad over Bali drugs A US citizen is facing a possible death penalty if convicted over a trafficable quantity of drugs allegedly found in a house in Indonesia over the weekend. The 46-year-old man identified only by his initials CS and a 24-year-old Indonesian man identified as MR were arrested and charged after police raided a house in Gili Trawangan, a party island 100km west of Bali known as a hub for ecstasy and where hallucinogenic “magic mushroom” shakes are sold openly at restaurants and bars. Police claim to have discovered 1224 grams of marijuana in various bags and boxes in the house. They also said they found an unspecified quantity of methamphetamine separated into 13 small Ziplock bags, an unspecified quantity of magic mushrooms, as well as smoking implements and cash, allegedly obtained from selling drugs to tourists on the island. The raid coincided with a stern warning issued by a senior police official to foreigners selling drugs in Indonesia at an event where drug suspects were paraded and shamed at a park in Bali’s capital Denpasar on Sunday. “Drugs are very dangerous for our young generation,” local news website Kumparan quoted Denpasar Police Chief Ruddi Setiawan as saying while 20 alleged drug suspects, all of them Indonesian, were forced to stand behind a table covered in ecstasy tablets, methamphetamine, marijuana and Happy 5 - the Asian name for the hypnotic drug nimetazepam. “I am waiting for the perpetrators, especially the immigrants, who dare to sell drugs in Bali. I will take decisive action.” It was the second public shaming of drug suspects in Bali this year. On February 24, a group of 23 suspects wearing orange prison garbs and handcuffs with their feet shackled in chains were presented to journalists by heavily armed riot police at the same park in Denpasar. The event took place in front of a statue of a bear-chested Indonesian warrior commissioned by Balinese police as a symbol for their war against drugs.

could they do that? That’s not the way to deter them,” chairman of the Balinese chapter of the Association of Indonesian Addiction Counsellors Erijadi Sulaeman told the Jakarta Post. “Don’t forget they have rights. The police should remember that before someone is convicted, they should uphold the presumption of innocence.” Police Chief Ruddi Setiawan remained undeterred. “We want to give them some social punishment, apart from the criminal punishment,” he said at the time.

The death penalty is routinely handed to drug criminals in Indonesia, where more than 200 prisoners are currently awaiting execution. If successfully convicted, CS will become the second American on death row in Indonesia. In 2010, US citizen Frank Amado was given the death penalty after he was caught with five and a half grams of methamphetamine in the nation’s capital Jakarta. In 2017, Amado and six other foreign nationals were transferred to a super-high-security prison on Nusa Kambangan Island, the so-called execution island of The public spectacles have been criticised by drug counsellors Indonesia, where convicted Australian heroin smugglers as unnecessary, counter-productive and illegal given none of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed by firing the suspects had yet been convicted of any crimes. “How squad in 2015.

Russian man caught with orangutan in luggage leaving Bali also had geckos, chameleons - police Indonesian police said they also found geckos and chameleons in the luggage of a Russian tourist who was arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle a drugged orangutan out of Bali. Andrei Zhestkov was detained Saturday at Bali’s international airport after security officers found a 2-year-old endangered male orangutan sleeping in a rattan basket in his luggage. Police showed the suspect along with the lizards and other evidence at a news conference today. Zhestkov, wearing an orange detainee uniform, refused to comment.

Orangutans are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Only around 13,400 Sumatran orangutans remain in the wild. A 2018 comprehensive study of Borneo’s orangutans estimated their numbers have plummeted by more than 100,000 since 1999, as the palm oil and paper industries shrink their habitat and fatal conflicts with people increase. [1 News Now March 26, 2019]

Local police chief Ruddi Setiawan said Zhestkov had confessed that he bought the orangutan for $3,000 from a street market on Indonesia’s main island of Java. He said Zhestkov said he fed it allergy pills mixed with milk so it would lose consciousness for up to 10 hours on his planned flight back home to Vladivostok. “We are still investigating his motive in attempting to smuggle the orangutan out of Indonesia,” Setiawan said. “We are also searching for the trader who sold the animals to the suspect.” He said authorities found two geckos and four chameleons in his bags. He said Zhestkov, if found guilty, faces up to five years in jail and $7,000 in fines for attempting to smuggle wildlife.

Bali police shoot dead Russian after violent robbery Bali police have shot dead a Russian man after a violent robbery at a money exchange office, officials said Friday, with two more accomplices arrested and several others on the run. The killing happened Tuesday on the Indonesian holiday island after police responded to calls about a robbery and confronted the armed trio, officials said.

The embassy said the gang was suspected of robbing another money changer in December and, separately, stealing weapons. It did not elaborate. Nearly $70,000 or Rp. 900.000.000 in Indonesian rupiah and US currency were reportedly stolen, according to police, who named the dead man as 45-year-old Alexei Korotkikh.

Three men, including the man who was later killed, broke into a currency exchange office and beat several employees inside, knocking them unconscious. When they woke up, they were tied with their mouths taped, police said, adding that the employees eventually freed themselves and called the authorities. The police managed to locate the suspects who had fled, but when they wanted to arrest the men one of the suspects wanted to attack the officers. “Our unarmed officer tried to fight back, but because the situation was very dangerous to our members, another officer who was armed took strict measures against the suspect... he then died,” Denpasar police chief Ruddi Setiawan told reporters.

Foreigners are often arrested for drugs offences in Bali, which attracts millions of visitors to its palm-fringed beaches every year. But arrests for violent crime are more rare. In January, Bali police apprehended four Bulgarians accused of skimming bank card data at several ATM machines in the capital Denpasar. [France 24 March 22, 2019]

The Russian embassy confirmed one of its citizens was shot dead in Bali. “During a fight with police who were trying to arrest them, one Russian citizen was shot dead,” it said on its Facebook account. “Two others - one Ukrainian and one Russian - were detained.” The arrested Russian was also wounded, the embassy said, adding that four others linked to the crime are still on the run, but “their nationality is unclear”.

puppet show called ‘Sapuh Leger’. It’ a great way to learn about local culture. Be sure to wear ‘temple’ dress when you attend. Ask in your local village for more information. Kartini Day – Sunday 21 April Kartini Day is one of the most recognised Indonesian holidays celebrated in memory of Ajeng Kartini’s birth, a national heroine honoured for her efforts in fighting for women’s rights. Kartini was born to a noble Javanese family in Dutch colonial times and was exposed to ideals from the western world at a very early age. Growing up, she was prohibited from getting an education because of her family’s nobility as well as age-old traditions. This led her to highlight the plight of locals suffering under the Dutch masters as well as the challenges faced by Indonesian women. It also birthed her desire to fight for women’s right to education in Indonesia. Even though she died in her prime at just 25 years, her efforts did not go unnoticed. Hailed as the country’s first feminist, Kartini is the symbol of women’s strength in a world that is fraught with gender inequality and the suppression of women’s rights.
