Numerous new slides cater to the more adventurous with their sudden drops and high speed twists and turns and there is also a dedicated ‘pre school’ precinct where younger thrill seekers can satisfy their enthusiasm in a tamer water wonderland.

There are four major water parks in Bali’s Southern tourist district. Waterbom Park located in Tuban opposite Discovery Shopping Mall is long established and well known. A large park with a multitude of pools, slides and accompanying attractions means it is a fixture on the vacation agenda of many international tourists. Its enduring popularity guarantees a throng of aqua adventure seekers stream through the gates on a daily basis but should you wish to

Activities such as slack lining, gymnastics and fly high yoga

Which Water Park is the Perfect Fit For Me?

In a tropical locale the likes of Bali where the mercury seldom slips below 30 degrees, it’s no wonder waterparks are a popular alternative to the beach for keeping your cool. In recent years especially, the island has become home to a number of new aquatic fun parks, all catering to a slightly different demographic. Each park, whilst offering different choices of facilities and degrees of adrenalin charged excitement, all feature a similar array of slides and attractions. Ultimately the decision regarding which water park to choose comes down to the average age of your accompanying companions, geography and the hit to the hip pocket!

In conjunction with this month’s Beauty Talk and to help you ensure your smile becomes your signature accessory, Body Temple is offering a discount during the month of May on their ‘Pretty Smile’ procedure at only Rp1,200,000++. That’s a whopping 20% off on a treatment that’s sure to raise your face value!

Make an afternoon of it or even the whole weekend as Pan Pacific is offering special deals on accommodation for E Series Run participants. Stay in a luxurious Golf View Room from just Rp1,400,000 nett/ per room per night (single occupancy) or Rp1,600,000 nett/ per room per night (double occupancy). It’s an awesome deal and a chance to get off to an early start on race day and make the most of a weekend away.

Sunday May 22nd sees the 9th installment of this popular event at Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort. It’s a terrific time to enjoy a day of action and relaxation with family and friends and a chance to get everyone at any age in on the fun. Set your alarms for EARLY as race registration opens at 6.00am (closing at 6.30am) with an all important warm up session scheduled for 6.45am. In order to take advantage of the cooler morning air, the starters gun will go off at 7am sharp, marking commencement of the 2km, 4km and 8km races. Races run and done by 8.00am with presentations by 8.30am, the best part of the day is just beginning with a hearty buffet breakfast poolside, all included as part of the entrance fee for runners and their support crews!

Just RSVP arsiani@cangguclub.com to confirm your attendance and morning tea is complimentary.

Holiday times often means waiting in line for a ride on your selected slide so again, best to choose quieter times if you can. Food and beverage outlets abound but it is such a large and busy park, keeping a keen eye on the little ones is a full time job! Due to its size and continuing popularity, Waterbom is the priciest of the four parks at Rp520K per adult and Rp370K per child (2-11 years). Lockers, towels and bales are extra and outside food and beverages are not allowed. Splash Water Park, located at The Canggu Club just North of the bustling Seminyak strip is the island’s newest addition to aquatic entertainment. A more intimate affair, Splash still offers a similar selection of action fueled fun on a smaller scale with attractions for the more adventurous as well as slides specifically aimed at pint sized members of your group. There are ample umbrellas and day beds to go around and adjacent food and beverage outlets allow guests to drink and dine in cool comfort, all the while keeping their young charges in full sight. All housed within one safe and secure precinct with a family friendly atmosphere, Splash provides an all round day out for clans with kids of any age!

A feature that sets Splash apart from other parks is the fact that it is within the grounds of Bali’s premier members’ club. A full day pass into The Canggu Club not only guarantees access to the water park, but also full use of the rest of The Canggu Club facilities .The fitness centre, fully fenced sports field, sauna, steam rooms and lockers are all included along with a choice of numerous food and beverage outlets. With all of these added extras and a cheaper full day entrance fee of Rp300k per adult and Rp180k for kids, Splash is a more affordable option for families and larger groups and adjacent attractions the likes of Strike Bowling and Bounce Trampoline Centre mean that the fun can still continue after the sun goes down! Next in line is Circus Water Park. Still in Tuban it is located further South from Waterbom along Jalan Kediri, slightly away from the popular tourist areas and five minutes from the airport. Also family friendly, this smaller park, still offers all of the excitement and facilities of the aforementioned two yet caters more to local families and domestic tourists. Adjacent to a relatively new shopping centre and cinema, Circus Water Park is friendly on the finances with entrance for adults at Rp230k and children children for just Rp150K. Somewhat further away and probably a convenient option for those staying on The Bukit is New Kuta Green Park, located in the Pecatu Indah Resort. This park offers the cheapest entry prices at Rp130K per adult and Rp100K per kid, boasts a range of slides and activities and is also extremely popular with local families. An entertaining facility for an afternoon out, its elevation presents stunning ocean views but a park that’s possibly best visited if you are heading down Uluwatu way. All in all, locals and visitors to Bali are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to wet and waterlogged ways to fill their day. Each of the parks are open daily and operational hours are from 9am until 6pm. Prospective park goers just need to decide which option is the best fit for their family unit, throw on their swimsuits and get ready for some fun! SPLASHBALI.COM

Babi Guling, Beer and the Balinese Black Heritage Pig at this year’s Ubud Food Festival By RENEE THORPE In the lead-up to this year’s Ubud Food Festival (27-29 May), we’re showcasing the chefs, restaurants and producers who form part of Bali’s vibrant culinary landscape. This week, Renee Thorpe chats with Nick Kennedy of Amandari in Ubud, who will be serving up Bali’s signature suckling pig (babi guling) paired with local craft beer. Nick Kennedy has b e e n t h e Amandari’s Chef for only four months, but he’s a dedicated Baliphile when it comes to the i s l a n d ’s h o m e cooking. Back in Sydney, Nick worked with Damien Pignolet at Bistro Moncur and Alex Kearns in the Glebe Point Diner. He was watching a video segment of Anthony Bourdain enjoying the babi guling at Ibu Oka’s, and, he says, “from then on I was hooked. Babi Guling took on legendary status. This dish really connected me to Bali and the main reason I came was because of the food.” Nick has wasted no time getting to know Bali, and he’s covered a lot of ground in these few months, falling hard for the people, and trying new food wherever he goes. In a special event given the unpretentious title “Babi Guling and Beer,” Nick will offer diners babi guling with Amandari distinction. “I won’t make too much of a turn. The meat is seasoned on the inside with base gede, a soft and sweet Balinese spice mix, roasted over Àaming coffee wood and basted often with turmeric infused water and coconut oil. The oil is to keep the skin crisp and crackling and the water is to keep it from burning. The roasting alone, done right out back here, takes ¿ve hours.

“We’ll offer a superfood twist. We’ll include fern tip salad, very Balinese, but I’m also thinking of tossing in chia seeds and there may be some goji berries,” Nick says with a twinkle. “People will walk away feeling nourished and wondering why, having just feasted on such a naughty pork lunch!” Not too naughty there, Nick, with your free-roaming Hampshire (a black pig breed). The selected porker is living free of antibiotic and growth promotant in the care of local pig producer Romeo, of Bioceleng Farm in Payangan. From weddings to warungs, babi guling is normally enjoyed with the ¿ngers, and while Nick says he’s keeping the main dish as authentic as possible, he wants to bring a “bit more of a restaurant touch to a street food; keep it clean. We’ll showcase the Àavors, introducing a time-honored recipe to people who may have never tried it before.” “Live gamelan music will be here in the courtyard, but everything will be informal and fun. Side dishes will make up a buffet selection, kaki lima carts will be here, featuring dishes for everyone to try. The cooks who know these recipes will interact with and introduce guests to Àavours they’ve never tried. “My concept is to embrace the culture as much as possible, let diners relax with a local brew, and engage with conscious eating. That’s enjoying food that’s good for your body, good for the environment, and good for the community. “Putting a bit more thought behind all those elements has been my main impact on the new Amandari menu.” Nick explains that even the specially chosen pig for Babi Guling and Beer has been enjoying a healthy diet that includes the fruit and veggie pulp from the hotel’s juicer. This conscious feeding is expected to help raise the special pig’s weight from 30 kilograms at interview time to a festival time goal of 40 nutritious kilograms. Stark beer, Bali’s newest local craft beer, is the event’s titular beverage, but local wine and other drinks will be available as part of the lunch. Stark has a good range of brews, from a pilsner to a dark ale. At a recent Amandari tasting of Stark

beers, which included a mango brew, Nick knew this local product was the perfect ¿t. The event’s featured wine is from Gianyar, specifically Saba Bay winery, a 100% Indonesian product. For those who discover they have missed getting a ticket to this hot event, take heart that Babi Guling is on the Amandari’s new menu, on a one-day advance order basis. The 2016 Ubud Food Festival will be partly a pork lover’s paradise, fully local-focused, and more on track with the realm of Conscious and Responsible. Vegetarian punters will ¿nd plenty of festivities around Raw, Slow, or Vegan food trends, but livestock ethics makes its debut at the Festival this year. When does eating something bring it back from the brink of extinction? When ethical farming practices are introduced, for starters. A porcine beauty contest comes free to the public in the Festival grounds, and will surely raise awareness for one Bali native who has been slowly making news over the last few years. Launched by Wanaprasta farming cooperative (featuring Jon Leonard, founder, and team leader Tri Sutrisna), a juried parade of the nearly extinct breed of pig known as the Bali Black Swayback, or bangkal hitam Bali babi is sure to be a fun event. This contest may be the perfect boost to local pride which the practice of sustainable organic livestock raising really needs. Get involved by attending This Little Piggy Went to Market panel discussion during the Festival. And who’s elevating this humble swayback to something close to divine, but Ubud’s own Chef Eelke Plasmeijer. His Locavore is now celebrated as an Asia Top 50 restaurant. Eelke will offer a degustation lunch comprised of no less than 20 plates honoring this Balinese heritage pig. One more exquisite way to enjoy a very Balinese delicacy.

UBUD NEWS UBUD IN WORLD’S TOP TEN Pretty amazing for a town of only 30,000 people! This year’s TripAdvisor’s Traveller ’s Choice Awards lists Ubud amongst 2016’s Top 10 leading holiday destinations - the name coming out of the same hat as London, Paris and Rome! Only three Asian cities made the list, adding to our growing reputation as the Indonesia’s culinary, cultural and artistic capital. Ubud village has become far more than monkey-¿lled temples and the glorious green of the rice ¿elds; it’s Asia’s “yoga capital”, and has a vibrant contemporary culture, with a host of world-class restaurants, venues and events. And while the permanent attractions are obviously important - be they part of traditional, cultural Bali or creations from her modern day residents - our various festivals play a huge part in fostering Ubud’s unique identity. To name only a few of this and next year’s annual events, check out this month’s Ubud Food Festival (May 27-29), Ubud Village Jazz Festival (August 7, the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (October 26-30), Bali Spirit Festival of Yoga, Dance and World Music (2017 March date tbc) and the Bali Emerging Voices Festival (2017 date tbc). UBUD FOODIES SAY YAY! Where there’s good food, there are always great conversations. Your only dif¿culty is going to be finding time in your schedule – and space in your belly – for all the delicious delectableness on offer at this year’s Ubud Food Festival, a Àavour-¿lled three-day event starting May 27. One of the festival’s featured speakers is Fresh Restaurant’s raw food chef and teacher, Arif Springs. Now creating extraordinary dishes often just a twist away from simple traditional recipes - like his exquisite Raw Lumpia - Arif was born into a cash-poor local family in Sualand, West Java, where he learned grassroots ways to heal his family through herbs and spices. The festival’s full program and tickets are on sale, so whether you’re a secret foodie, culinary enthusiast or seasoned gourmand, now is the time to check it out. Check out ubudfoodfestival.com, May 27-29 in venues all around Ubud. Fresh is on Jalan Hanoman, about 50 meters south of the Gautama corner. LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING Ubud’s internationally respected Green School is calling on its own community, friends and partners to spread the word, as the school kick starts its annual online campaign to raise money to support local Balinese students. On May 20 the “TUMBUH - Together We Grow” campaign goes live. In past years it has been very successful in raising money to support the Local Scholars Scholarship Programme, which offers several free tuition for local Balinese students. Find TUMBUH – Together We Grow, on youtube, to see what current students have to say about the program, or visit: www.greenschool.org. RESILIENCE THRU PERMACULTURE “Resilience” is the capacity to bounce back. Even when pulled out of shape, stretched and twisted, a good quality rubber band, for example, will spring back into its original shape after the pressure is removed. A resilient community can deal with a disaster, surviving, coping, and learning to change and grow. Permaculture pioneer Robyn Francis will hold a two week permaculture design course, teaching “ecological, social and economic resilience in a time of climate adaptation”, from May 31-June 15, in Kemenuh, ten minutes south-east of Ubud.

REIKI LINEAGE Author and Reiki master Salini Teri Apodaca is visiting Bali as part of a book-launching, speaking, teaching and healing tour of Southeast Asia. As the student and successor of Reiki Grandmaster Hawayo Takata, Salini carries the purest lineage from the original authentic Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki masters, as well as the blessings of Sensei Takata to carry on for her. Salini will teach Reiki Level I and other workshops while she is here, as well as offering individual sessions of reiki healing and reiki healing massage in both Sanur and Ubud.

This flexible performance space now hosts monthly group psychodrama sessions, under the direction of psychodrama trainer, Mario Cossa. Psychodrama - from the Greek, meaning “the soul in action” - is a powerful tool for letting go of old patterns of behavior. In the 1960s, open psychodrama sessions were part of New York’s counter culture, drawing the likes of Woody Allen, Dustin Hoffman and Alan Alda to the “stage” as witness or participant in regular transformational dramas. You can put a piece of your story into action, become a player in another’s drama, or just witness, at these ¿rstWednesday-of-the-month sessions, conducted the way psychodrama was originally conceived, on a stage.

Update Lamak has become an Ubud institution. It opened on Valentine’s Day, 2011, 15 years ago, back when Lamak and TeraZo were the sole upmarket eateries offering western cuisines outside of the 5 star hotels nearby in Sayan. Since then so many new places have opened to compete with Lamak [Mozaic, CasCades, Uma, Bridges, Indochine, Locavore, Taksu, Café des Artistes, Hajun Locale, Petani, etc] but Lamak still successfully offers that unique blend of basic traditional French/Italian cuisine combined with Asian spices, and a twist or two. They always seem to keep coming up with new creations, some complex others so simple it is amazing that no one else has ever thought of it before. That was the case with the dish that I mostly order there these days, what I and the staff refer to as Chicken Mango [called ‘Pan-fried Poulet’ on the menu], so simple, so good! For this month of May Lamak has a special set menu available; 5 courses for Rp. 275,000++ or Rp. 470,000++ with full wine pairing [a glass with every course]. Begin with an Amuse Bouche then Beef Carpaccio or Corn & Truffle Soup. A Granita of tangerines from Kintamani to cleanse the palate, followed by that Pan-fried Poulet. It is a breast of chicken, folded and stuffed with puree of mango, crumbed and pan-fried. The sauce a soft turmeric in coconut milk, it is cleverly placed in the bottom of the plate before adding 3 ‘logs’ of deep-fried zucchini [which I had thought sounded very boring but proved to be a clever, integral part of the dish]. The chicken sits on the zucchini and so it keeps nice and crunchy for you to then cut and dip in the sauce as you wish. The accompanying glass of Sauvignon Blanc is perfect! Finish with a Pandan Leaf Crème Brulee.

Le Bon Vivant, Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur, has recently welcomed their new permanent Exec. Chef, Mirko. As he is Italian it is not surprising that personally fashioned pasta dishes are his specialty. Already added to the Le BonVivant regular menu is one of Homemade Tagliatelle with crisp jamon serrano, tomatoes, onions, fresh herbs and pinch of chili. It is a very international dish; Italian, Spanish and a touch of Asia. Happy Chappy II is about to open [scheduled date May 23]. It is nearing completion and will be on Jln. Raya Pantai Berawa in Canggu. The menu will be a little smaller than what is offered at the much larger Jln. Braban original but contains all of the most popular take-away dishes. Dim Sums [Prawn Har Gow, Szechuan Wontons], Soups [Sweet Corn & Chicken, Hot & Sour Seafood], Entrees [their wonderful Sang Choy Bau, Prawn Cutlets], Beef [Mongolian, Black Bean], Pork [Pancakes with chilli and mandarin, Kung Pao], Chicken [Lemon, Sweet & Sour], Prawns [Honey, Salted Egg], BBQ [Spare Ribs, Crisp Skin Chicken] and Hong Kong Roasted Duck. These are just some of what will be available plus many rice and noodle dishes. The opening of their 2nd outlet is a fitting way to celebrate Happy Chappy’s 1st year anniversary, also this month, easily one of Bali’s most successful restaurant 1st years. More is to come, as you will soon be able to enjoy Happy Chappy dim sums at Bali’s Domestic Airport Terminal, followed soon after at the International Airport Terminal as well. Enjoyable snacks whilst waiting for your delayed flight?

CasCades @ The Viceroy brought many quality guest chefs to Bali in 2015. They now continue that experience in 2016 with an incredible line-up. The next guest chef of 2016 will be Julien Royer chef/co-owner of the acclaimed Odette restaurant in Singapore. Julien’s first venture into the kitchen was under the legendary Michel Bras in Laguiole. He then moved to Durtol in the heart of Auvergne, where he began working for Maitre Cuisinier de France Bernard Andrieux. Following this period, Julien’s culinary career took him from the French West Indies to Polynesia and then London, where he was Sous Chef to Antonin Bonnet at Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant, The Greenhouse. He then moved to Singapore, where he has resided since 2011, and is now wowing them at Odette with his Modern French cuisine. For this dinner at CasCades he will be working with CasCades own exec chef of renown, Nic Vanderbeekan. This dinner will be held on Saturday May 28, coinciding with the Ubud Food Festival. Early reservation is essential as these special guest dinners at CasCades are always fully booked, well in advance.

Cosmic Diner was new at the junction of Sunset Road and Jln. Dewi Sri in 2012. At the time it seemed a strange location for another bit of Americana next door to Starbucks and McDonalds. Cosmic is an American Diner, spread over two levels, smart, stylish and funky! All day snacks and light meals are their specialty, but specializing in burgers and shakes, waffles and pancakes. The Cosmic Diners seem to have become a meeting place for the Balinese younger set, particularly in the evenings. A new menu is now in place for the upcoming high season. Breakfasts still head the list and even though not all day [why? A breakfast late at night is not such a bad thing?], although they can still be ordered till 3.00 p.m. The inevitable Benedict survives the cut, as does Scrambled Eggs with smoked salmon. The ‘Morning after the night before’…eggs, scrambled, poached, omelette or that weird American expression, ‘sunny side up’, with bacon, sausage, mushrooms, roasted potatoes and toast. On your own or just snacking, then order Popcorn Chicken or Salmon Croquettes. Pasta can be Fettuccine with Meatballs. Mains include Steak [from OZ], Baby Back Ribs, Fish [beer-battered of course] & Chips and a very unusual Chicken and Waffle. On the side you can order a plate of Fries [cheese or truffle oil]. Burgers can be beef [many combos] or chicken. And the essential American offering of many different Pancakes as well as European style Waffles, although the prices are very Balinese rather than American with breakfast, and most mains, around $6! The most amazing thing about Cosmic [being next door to McDonalds at their original site] is that Hamburgers are their best sellers, perhaps because they are a little less mass produced? The 2nd Cosmic Diner has also opened, this time in Bali’s 2nd Lippo Mall, on what used to be called Jln. Kartika Plaza. Cosmic No. 3 [now under construction] will be in the new restaurant strip on The ByPass at Sanur’s southern end, just before Blanjong. Wine has been added to the beverage list which makes the Cosmics very classy little diners indeed. Saba Bay is my favourite local drop [even the Rose, called Pink Blossom, is refreshingly drinkable], there are also a few imported wines as well. Big shock was to see French Champagne on the list [must be for those using Daddy’s expense account?] I doubt if any roadside diner in the USA has ever dared to do that? But this is Bali, where anything goes! Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

Restaurant Review

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

Eating in a Tea House! When new restaurants open in Bali, as they seem to do almost on a daily basis, some open empty and more or less stay that way for their short life. Then there are others, for a variety of different reasons, open full from their first day, and also stay that way forever. Surely that is a sign of professional management, giving the customers what they want and maintaining good value and consistent food quality and service. That was Biku when it opened in 2009, and that is still Biku today. The building is a fully restored teak Joglo, circa 1850, transported from East Java to house an antique collection. It was purchased by the Kerthyasa family [Asri and her two sons, of Ibah Ubud fame], building, antiques and all, and converted into the most amazing tea house that you could imagine. Old and new, side by side, but it all works! New concepts can take an eternity to become accepted, if ever. Bali must have been waiting for this one as Biku was popular and busy from day one. The highest accolade is that their High Teas have many would-be copy-cats. Why the name Biku? This Chinese Buddha was already in residence when Biku the Tea House was an antique showroom, and people often came in off the street to make offerings in front of him, so it was decided that he had earned his place, bringing good luck to all….it has certainly worked! Biku is first and foremost a tea house, and the range of teas; local, international and blends, are truly mind-boggling, particularly to one who generally prefers to drink coffee, but we coffee lovers are also looked after here, as their coffee comes from a blend of local beans, the end product made through a real espresso machine, the result a cup of full flavoured coffee with rich crema and all, almost enough to fool an Italian! I am amazed at the history of their Limited Edition Tea Collection. One such tea is called Pu Erh. The ‘brick’ of aged tea was brought to Bali in 2004, and kept ever since in special conditions that would do a Bordeaux 1st Growth Lafitte proud. This tea is from the Yunnan province in China and underwent an aging and fermentation process not unlike that Lafitte. It is served in the traditional ‘gong-fu’ method. To read about the preparations and conditions to comply with this on the internet sound almost as complicated as open heart surgery!

is wonderful. Another breakfast to tempt you is their Potato Cakes, Scrambled Eggs, Smoked Salmon and Wilted Spinach with a chive béarnaise. Or Sweet Corn Cakes with an avocado salsa. The sides, such as a plate of breakfast sausages, are large and meant to be shared. Breakfast at Biku is an all day affair. At last one restaurant in Bali with all day breakfasts, where the eggs do not turn into chickens at 11.00.a.m! But it is one of the new additions to the breakfast menu that fascinates me. Direct from Northern Africa [via Israel] is Shakshuka, a pan full of spicy tomato and peppers indented with a couple of eggs. It arrives in the pan with a basket of bread and it is eaten by dipping the bread into the pan mix, wonderful! It is for their High Teas that Biku has become so famous. Originally just a traditional high tea with; Scones with jam and cream, Finger Sandwiches of cucumber, salmon and cream cheese and ham and mustard, Spinach Quiche [mini size] and a selection of sweet treats, plus of course your selection of tea.

nasi gorengs. The International menu includes their special Spiced Baby Back Ribs, Lamb’s Shank or Chops, simple Fish and Chips [beer battered fish of course] and a wow of a Pork Hock slow cooked with Chinese spices. Biku, himself, stands at the rear of the tea house, overlooking all. He is always smiling and appears to be very content with what is happening around him. The guests must also be happy with the experience, as they keep on returning. How refreshing that Biku is something so new, different and original for the Bali scene, when so many others only know how to copy!

QUICK REVIEW

A more recent arrival has been the so popular Asian High Tea [pictured[, It is served for 2 persons @ Rp. 220,000++ and is a great introduction to the exotic spices of Asia. Included is that unique Balinese fruit Salak, poached in cinnamon and star anise, an Indian Samosa with chutney, Spring Rolls from Vietnam [cold rice paper with dipping sauce], Ayam Sisit with sambal matah tart, Curried Egg Sandwiches, Date Scones with mango jam, a Middle Eastern style Orange Cake with rose tea syrup, Agar-Agar [pineapple and mint], Kue Mochi and Dadar Guling.

The Sandwich can be a BLT. The Chicken Schnitzel Burger is great, the DeLuxe Beef Burger comes with mushrooms. Nothing could be more Aussie than a Sausage Sandwich, grilled onions and all. Then there is your choice of filling for the Vietnamese Banh Mi style sandwich in a baguette; pork in soy, beef rendang or grilled marinated chicken. Different Pastries and Quiches are baked every day, and are displayed on the long central table. For Aussie Kids, of all ages, there are even Cup Cakes with flavoured icing sprinkled with hundreds and thousands, among an extensive children’s menu!

However I go to Biku, first and foremost, for the food and I assume that even the most avid tea connoisseur must partake of food along with the sipping of the tea. Biku does breakfast, lunch, dinner and all day snacks.

However any real Aussies who visit rarely get past the Beef Pies on the menu. A rich meat paste liberally studded with large chunks of tender beef wrapped in a flaky pastry [reminiscent more of French pies than their chunky English/Australian equivalents]. They are served with tomato sauce of course [if you dare call it ketchup you have to sit in the corner!]. They are so good that some have been known to take extras home with them. They also have a Lamb Pie and a Gourmet Chicken & Leek.

Breakfast can be a Poached Egg on cheddar and chive buttermilk scones. The egg is poached perfectly, firm whites and soft golden yolk, a rarity to get it right anywhere in the world let alone Bali. The scone mix is a little dry and crumbly, yet when soaked with that precious golden yolk the combination

Whilst Biku is the sort of place where snacking comes naturally, there are main dishes as well, both local Indonesian and International. Beef Rendang [that spicy Sumatran beef dish] and a Balinese Pepes Ikan Laut [spiced fish wrapped in a banana leaf] are served along with the usual sates, mie and

If you have tried one you may have found that it was short term loss. If you are thinking of some sort of diet but not sure what to do then this retreat may be a good start. Having just completed a nine day supported cleanse it really does take some time to get into and once you are into it you certainly don’t want to lose all that you have worked hard to achieve. It is therefore easier to continue than to fall back into old habits. This retreat offers an Ayurveda menu which caught my attention. There is a wealth of information about this type of approach to eating on the internet but I’ll mention a few facts that might inspire you to ¿nd out more. Ayurveda was developed by the Sages in India and continues to be a powerful mind-body health system. It offers a way to stay vibrant and healthy reaching the full human potential. Meditation, restful sleep, diet and exercise are important components of this approach. Living in Bali with the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables it is easy to ensure a balanced diet. There are so many health bene¿ts to the Ayurvedic practice and you will take away so many tips.

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

Unplayed Melodies by Marc Perlman In his classic book Music of Java, Jaap Kunst famously wrote, “Gamelan is comparable to only two things, moonlight and Àowing water. ...mysterious like moonlight and always changing like Àowing water.” This wonderful tactile description of the slow, haunting, ethereal and curiously melancholy quality of the Javanese xylophonic orchestra stands out in contrast to Balinese gamelan which is played with more vigor and passion - sudden changes, displaced accents, increases and decreases of volume and bursts of rapid, precise, highly syncopated playing.

notes. The rebab player must never stop playing, even if the strings slip out of tune. *In traditional post-colonial Javanese society, music was not considered a public good. There were no formal institutions charged with disseminating musical knowledge. Such specialized learning was considered the preserve of the royal courts and was treated as a possession to be guarded by priyayi, the aristocracy. This type of cultural knowledge was learned in a formal apprenticeship within familial and personal relationships.

The gamelan music of Central Java is one of the world’s great orchestral traditions and the crowning achievement of Javanese bronze work. A complete ensemble comprising up to 70 matched instruments, male and female singers and producing as many as 11 melodic lines creates a rich multipart texture, one that owes nothing to Western principles of harmony or counterpoint. Astoundingly, this highly sophisticated music is able to present different versions of a single melody simultaneously.

*Similar to the Javanese who wrote grammars of their language based on the principles of Dutch grammar, the ¿rst Javanese music theorists applied the colonizer’s knowledge to understand their own music. The ¿rst notation of Javanese music invented was explicitly modeled on the European system of the moveable “do” and the ¿rst compilations of notations and articles about music only appeared in print in the early 1900s. It wasn’t until the 1920s when courses of musical instruction, vocal music and gamelan courses for children were taught.

Unknown to the untrained ear, the resonant melodic parts and highly distinctive musical range of these bronze percussion instruments revolve around one central melody. Paradoxically, the nature of that melody is puzzling and not at all obvious. Javanese musicians themselves disagree over the question of what it is. Some forcefully suggest that there is no audible melodic basis but only an implicit one.

*Many Javanese musicians hum the melody while they play. Even though musical notation is available, humming is still used as a way of learning parts for the clempung (zither), gambang (xylophone) or ciblon (dance drum). The student interprets the parts himself. The mnemonic power of humming impresses itself on the memory. Perlman systematically recorded musicians’ humming, virtuoso performances in themselves.

In Unplayed Melodies, Marc Perlman uses the puzzle of a central inarticulate melody that is neither played nor heard as a key to understanding both the art of the native Javanese gamelan and the nature of musical knowledge in general. The initial chapter explains and de¿nes musical terms and concepts used throughout the book. After this rather dry academic essay in cognitive psychology and cognitive anthropology replete with terms like “ontology,” “polyphonic structure” and “melodic skip,” the author moves on to his central thesis. Perlman shows how an unplayed “inner” or “essential” melody can be found in the remarkable tendency of soft and loud parts to cluster together, that convergent and divergent parts are perfectly compatible with one another and that all musicians seem to unconsciously stay within boundaries. These characteristics indicate that some hidden, unheard presence is guiding the music. When Perlman observed his teacher Sumarsam play the gender (metallophone), he noticed that the musician damped after the beat. When he asked him why he taught him a technique that he himself did not use, Sumarsam insisted that he did damp on the beat simultaneously with the following stroke as he had taught Perlman. When it was brought to his attention what he had done, the musician was surprised and stared down at his hand as if it had a life of its own. He had done it unconsciously. To explain the concept of an unverbalized melody, the writer tells the stories of three articulate musicians. Only small tantalizing amounts of personal information are given about Suhardi, Sumarsam and Supanggah, but it was enough to raise my curiosity. Though I understand that biography is not within the book’s focus of study, I would’ve liked to have read more about the daily lives and work habits of these talented musicians – what inspires them, how they rehearse, how they manage their workload and family life, etc. I’m not a musicologist and can’t appreciate the ¿ner points of scales, musical phrases, cadential points, tonal and tuning systems, and so forth, but I did glean some thought-provoking insights from the book: *The sorrowful violin-like rebab (bowed lute), called the pemurba lagu (“that which has authority over melody”), has the decision making power in the orchestra. Its job is to anticipate, to move in advance, to say: “Go here next!” The two-stringed lute plays the introduction, anticipates what notes will appear in the following line, signals the composition’s tuning system and when to play high register

C/E/G-11 May 16

*Just as a guitarist uses his repertoire of riffs to demonstrate his skill, the number of cengkok (melodic phrase) a gamelan player is able to do is also a measure of his musical ability. A skilled player can be said “to have many cengkok.” A young musician can self-deprecatingly say that his “vocabulary” of cengkok isn’t very large. Cengkok are even assigned names like ayu kuning, dua lolo, puthut gelut, etc. *In the same way that batik patterns deliberately depart from lifelike representations – such as not depicting the bird itself but only the highly stylized representations of its wings - in Javanese gamelan cryptic abstract titles are given to songs. As an example, “Pounding Rice” is the name of an extremely large and digni¿ed composition. Traditionally, rice hulling is a noisy activity produced by rhythmic strokes of wooden pestles in a wooden trough. But this pounding is nowhere to be heard in the long, majestic phrases of the composition. Instead, what we hear is the feeling of the rice farmer whose rice harvest has come in. He feels like a king!

C/E/I-17 Feb 16

Many of the Javanese words used liberally in the book are parts of a specialized nomenclature associated with gamelan instruments, compositions (gendhing) and techniques and styles of playing. If a de¿nition isn’t found in the glossary, it will be italicized in the index, i.e. balungan (melodic skeleton), irama (rhythmic relationships), bonongan (loud playing). Unplayed Melodies demonstrates the author’s dedication and his profound knowledge of Javanese gamelan, the mental process of acquiring cultural knowledge and a new way of thinking about music theory from a Western perspective. By identifying the creative contributions of three individual musicians, you’ll learn some entertaining details about Javanese musical practice as well as many cultural and historical facts about Java’s extraordinary polyphonic orchestras of late 20th century. This book is a unique contribution to the ethnomusicology community and musical scholarship in general.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

A LONG WAY FROM BALI – BUT THIS EVENT SHOULD STILL CONCERN US Last month, on April 25 to be precise, a familiar name on the high streets of Britain went into administration. British Home Stores, a one-time favourite for family shoppers for 88 years ¿nally collapsed after years of losses as it failed to keep pace with changing shopping patterns and consumer tastes. So what’s the big deal you may say; shops and restaurants open and close with regularity (in much less than 88 years) in places like Sanur and Kuta as entrepreneurs try their hand at emulating successful businesses without proper research or planning. The big deal in fact is that the fall of BHS meant the collapse of its pension scheme which was already in de¿cit to the tune of £571 million (equal to about US$835,000,000 or Rp.11,000,000,000,000). This meant that some 20,000 members of its pension scheme would lose their lifetime company pensions. Fortunately, as a result of similar pension scheme failures in the past the British government has a safety net in the form of a Pension Protection Fund that steps in when schemes fail but there are limitations so many will get reduced pensions and there is a growing concern about the longevity of even this scheme as the government constantly seeks ways to cut costs.

A sorry tale, but what’s the connection? The connection is that the pensions crisis is a global one and it particularly affects expatriates since many, if not most, have long cut their ties with their homelands where those who never ventured beyond their safe shores are more likely to have the comfort of state pension schemes as well as occupational schemes. They are also more likely to own their own properties and be free of mortgages (and children) when they retire. What we are seeing with the BHS case is the failure of many long-established schemes to adjust quickly enough to changing demographics, in short the fact that people no longer die in their late sixties but now live to their eighties. This has resulted in thousands of schemes failing or operating in de¿cit in the UK alone. Why have I highlighted the plight of expatriates as opposed to locals? Where Indonesians, including Balinese, are concerned they generally have permanent homes and family support. Older people are typically looked after by their families, a very different picture where westerners are concerned and especially expatriates. But the situation is gradually changing for Indonesians too as they adapt more and more to western ways of living and working. The government here is trying to push the concept of pensions but with a relatively high rate of inÀation and a currency prone to devaluation over time it is not easy for the average worker to make ¿nancial provision for the future. Those who can afford it invest in land and property, assets which generally hold or increase in value in real terms over time. For foreigners seeking to invest in similar local assets the path has many pitfalls so the main focus for future security should be directed elsewhere.

Could your own pension scheme collapse? It could indeed if it is one of the older ‘de¿ned bene¿ts’ schemes. These schemes were based on the principle that contributions from past and current contributions would provide pensions closely linked to ¿nal salaries for the lifetime of members. But as I mentioned earlier, the calculations did not adjust to the considerable increase over the past half century in life expectancy. Actuaries are the ‘experts’ who make the calculations as to how much should be contributed to provide the required salary-related bene¿ts. They may well have foreseen the writing on the wall and advised companies to increase their own and employees’ contributions but this would have put pressure on their budgets and there would certainly have been resistance from employees and unions. Another factor that led to the collapse of pension schemes was their unpreparedness for market setbacks. Several stock market crashes forced schemes to rely more heavily on cash and bonds but the returns from these fell to the extreme lows we are seeing today. So pension schemes were being squeezed by forces from all directions. A disastrous combination of falling or stagnant investments and growing liabilities.

How was the problem ¿nally addressed? Eventually companies bit the bullet and confronted employees and unions with the facts of life. Almost universally ‘de¿ned bene¿ts’ pensions schemes have now ceased and have been replaced by ‘de¿ned contributions’ schemes which pose no threat to companies as they do not guarantee any speci¿c bene¿ts such as salary-related pensions. Instead, the contributions are invested in the ¿nancial markets and members receive pensions based purely on the returns from those investments. Which could be good or bad news, but the pressure is off the companies to guarantee returns. Nevertheless many are stuck with obligations to members of the original schemes so if you are a member yourself you should urgently check the health of the scheme. Normally, a salary-related pension is the best type you could get, but only if the company funding it is sound enough to sustain it for your lifetime.

C/E/G-11 May 16

If the scheme or the company is not in good shape there are solutions in some countries. For example, if you are over 55 in the UK new laws now permit you to fully encash your fund but if you do so immediately you are liable to a high tax payment. If you have been away from the UK for at least 5 years you can transfer your funds to an approved offshore ‘QROPS’. This would in turn be invested in the ¿nancial markets so the only risk is one of market risk and the underlying fund performances. Tax would be signi¿cantly reduced. I have seen an increased number of enquiries for such transfers since the oil crisis and its impact on oil and gas service companies. There are very strict rules for such transfers which have to be approved by the FCA and the tax authorities. The above is UK-related and different rules would apply elsewhere, so it is worth seeking information wherever your pension lies.

So what is a ‘safe’ pension? It should be borne in mind that no investment or pension is completely ‘safe’. This is why it is important to have more than one source of income in retirement. Having said that, annuities must come high on the ‘safer’ list from the point of view that income is guaranteed for life (subject to the continued existence of the insurance provider) and they are not subject to stock market volatility.

C/E/I-27 April 16

The downside is that annuity rates are currently very low; a rough guide would be 5% per annum in most major currencies from age 65. So an annuity costing $100,000 would buy a $5,000 per annum pension for life. Payments are usually guaranteed for ¿ve years but they then die with you unless you have taken a smaller return to make provision for your surviving spouse. There is no residue to pass to your estate. Otherwise the conventional private pension is a regular savings plan, typically via an international life company. Here you cannot ‘lose’ your pension if the provider goes out of business. Your investment is ring-fenced from the assets and creditors of the provider. But there is no guarantee where performance is concerned; your eventual bene¿ts depend on the fortunes of the markets and the choice of underlying funds, so ongoing advice is essential. On death the residue passes to your bene¿ciaries or estate.

C/E/G-14 Oct. 15

There are other options such as drawing an income from a portfolio of investments, a unit-linked whole of life policy or a buy-to-let property investment. But don’t rely on a single source, especially if the pension provider sits on a busy high street! Colin Bloodworth of PPI Indonesia has spent over 20 years in Indonesia.

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

Question: I’m a 40 year old male, who is okay with his physical appearance, but mentally and socially I’m a mess. A few months ago I realized I was depressed and decided to do something about it. Since part of my problem is that I haven’t been in a relationship in years, I joined an online dating service, but years of neglect and laziness have screwed me up. I hate myself for letting it get to this point because now I feel as if I’m not able to get a date. Most women want a confident guy who is a good kisser, and I am neither. Due to my bad breath, missing teeth and a discolored smile, I never had many girlfriends when I was young, so I don’t have much kissing skill. I am rather self-conscious about it, but I can’t afford to get my teeth fixed just yet. Meeting women is hard because if they flash me a smile with their nice teeth, I can’t give them a big, natural smile back. I know they will notice how bad my teeth are and will be turned off, and it looks bad in photographs too. Are bad teeth a deal-breaker to most people, or is it mostly my lack of self-confidence that’s an issue? Thanks for your help. Dr. ZZ: :Everyone has something that can be regarded as a deal-breaker in attracting others. Although your teeth may be a deal-breaker for some, the deal-breaker could also be something else entirely different. To be human is to be imperfect; everybody has issues. There is no way to iron out every detail that society perceives as an imperfection before you deserve to put yourself out there to meet people and try to find love. Even if your teeth were perfect, and your life were otherwise great, you’d still have issues about something, or society would try to make you feel as if you did. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

When you’re single and dating, rejection is the default setting. You get to reject people as potential partners, and they get to reject you. No one has to be fair about it or give you a chance. People get to make snap judgments about each other, and there is no way to deserve or guarantee attention or affection from anyone else. Perhaps it’s less about your teeth and lack of confidence and more about projecting your insecurities onto others. Despite your physical anxieties, there is a personality inside you that someone will find compelling. The trick is to be your best without making your issues other people’s problem. You’ve worked hard to pull yourself out of depression and to make yourself available to meet people. While it is wise to care for your teeth to the extent you can (e.g., flossing, brushing, seeking professional care when possible, and using mints, mouthwash, a tongue-scraper, etc.) you can also take your mossy whites out on the town. Some women may not want to kiss you, but you can’t know or control which ones will or won’t. You might as well smile when you feel like it, and let the chips fall as they may. That’s the name of the game and the best any of us can do. Question: I have never been in a relationship; yet somehow I often wind up being the first person others turn to when they break up. Today, for example, a woman I met a couple of months ago sent me an email to apologize for not replying to my messages recently and told me that her boyfriend had unexpectedly broke if off with her. I don’t know what happened, but it didn’t sound like it was fun. I was at a complete loss for what to say, so I merely suggested that she let me know if she ever wants to go for out for a snack or drinks (the usual), and that sometime I find keeping busy helps.

C/E/I-11 May 16

Should she agree to this, I’m not sure how to handle it. I don’t generally hug people although this feels like a situation, in which I probably should. As life goes on, I can only imagine that break ups are part of life, and I will probably be in this situation again. What would you advise to an awkward geek on how to handle other peoples’ problems? Dr. ZZ: Good on you for your willingness to make time to spend with your friends who have recently broken up! Your instincts to make yourself available are exactly correct. The best thing you can do when someone is sad about something is to ask them, “Do you want to talk about it, or do you prefer to take your mind off it?” Then, be ready to roll either way. The topics of conversation to avoid are the same ones you would avoid with anyone who is grieving about something. It’s best not to tell the recently bereaved that it’s okay because their loved ones are “in a better place” now, that it was “God’s will”; and it’s also best not to remind the bereaved of the deceased’s more annoying features or to suggest that they may be better off not having that person around. Even for a doomed, dysfunctional relationship, there will be grieving, and the grief is real. Your friend may need to tell you all the horrible details about her ex that she won’t miss, and your only job is to listen. Likewise, she may need to tell you about all his great qualities she misses. Listen. When you need to say something, start with “I’m sorry, that sucks,” and you’ll never be wrong.

HECTOR’S Keystone Kops

Top Marx

Exactly what went wrong on May 2, when the police arrived in strength at a location to arrest a French citizen, a man publicly known to be seriously mentally disturbed, needs to be fully explained. It hadn’t been explained in any satisfactory form, let alone fully, when this edition of the Diary hit deadline. The police were armed, as such posses generally are, and properly so in the circumstances. A policeman was fatally stabbed. The offender was then slain in circumstances that were both desolate and unnecessary. He was said to have been shot 14 times, including according to reports with ¿nal bullet through the head as he lay on the ground – by that time more than likely mortally wounded, but certainly immobilised – surrounded by his executioners.

We were browsing recently and reminded ourselves of an 1844 quotation from Karl Marx that sums up his philosophy rather well. It seemed apt in the light of the item above, even though it was not directly relevant. Here it is:

It was a sickening spectacle, a videoed object lesson in precisely how not to set about enforcing the law. The Indonesian authorities should be thoroughly ashamed of these events. They wish their country to be respected. Bombast and bullets won’t earn respect. A foreign citizen is dead in shocking circumstances. Any element of legitimate selfdefence Àed the ¿eld when an ill-disciplined and panicky squad of uniformed killers opened ¿re. Leadership, ¿re control and every principle of policing was absent. The man concerned was a mentally disturbed menace. This was very widely known. He could and certainly should have been detained, put in a straitjacket, and been taken away by the men in the white coats long before the incident in which he killed a policeman and then met his own death. His whereabouts were hardly secret. A little work by the police would have found him; and a little planning would have produced an arrest operation that did not immediately descend into fatal farce. The French authorities deserve full explanations of all the circumstances that led to these events, and not just those that immediately came to public notice via social media. The police and the national authorities must provide these explanations. It’s in Bali’s interest that they do so too. Public executions are not what tourists come here to see.

Aussie Break We’ve just spent a week on Australia’s eastern seaboard, the Diary’s home territory and somewhere that resonates deep in our psyche. It was an unscheduled trip. An old friend, a former politician, had a Big 60 birthday and we were invited to join around 300 of his nearest and dearest for the party. So who could resist? The trip also provided an opportunity to attend to some urgent business that had suddenly arisen and which needed to be placed on the agenda swiftly. Time was tight and some of the things we’d normally have on our to-do list had to be forgone, but we’ll certainly be back in fairly short order. It’s less than six hours to and from Brisbane, where the sun rises gently from an ocean horizon, which we ¿nd is a better, less glary way to run your day than that ¿ery sunset plunge into the briny that you get in Bali’s southern suburb, Perth. But it’s great to be home again on our favourite smaller island. We Àew with Jetstar. We do not record this so that critics such as those who like to pretend that they don’t see the Diary, but who plainly do, can bleat again about the ethics of providing free publicity in return for special bene¿ts. We’ve never done that. We pay our own way. We mention Jetstar only in order to remark that the Boeing 787 is a great aircraft. If you pay for “forward” seating in economy you get to turn left when you board the plane, which reminds you of earlier, plusher, days on other (full service) airlines, for example such as Qantas, Jetstar’s big bwother (or is that thister?) when you were headed for Business Class. It also reduces the quota of squalling infants and badly behaved toddlers travelling under the notional control of their uncaring, incompetent, or exhausted parents (poor devils) who blight other parts of the cabin.

Bovine Manure Some things make you laugh. Others give you instant nausea. Sometimes, in a rare conÀuence of the risible and the reprehensible, you get a sick laugh. So it is with the recent comment of the religious affairs minister that corruption cannot be blamed on the corruptors but on their wives. Lukman Hakim Saifuddin says that the sins of avarice and greed by which, he concedes, self-important males enrich themselves, Àow not from their own grasping malfeasance but from a desire to compensate their wives and families for the long hours and absences that their high service to the nation demand. There’s a word for that: Bullshit.

“What Is Human Becomes Animal: It is true that labour produces for the rich wonderful things — but for the worker it produces privation. It produces palaces — but for the worker, hovels. It produces beauty — but for the worker, deformity. It replaces labour by machines — but some of the workers it throws back to a barbarous type of labour, and the other workers it turns into machines. It produces intelligence — but for the worker idiocy, cretinism. The direct relationship of labour to its produce is the relationship of the worker to the objects of his production. The relationship of the man of means to the objects of production and to production itself is only a consequence of this ¿rst relationship — and con¿rms it. When we ask, then, what is the essential relationship of labour, we are asking about the relationship of the worker to production. As a result, therefore, man (the worker) no longer feels himself to be freely active in any but his animal functions — eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc. And in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal.” Um, yes. Top Marx. Wonder if anyone thought about that on May Day?

Big Day Out Bali charity Solemen does a great job helping those who cannot help themselves. And so it is with their regular monthly Fun Days for children. In March, for example, Solemen visited Waterbom in Kuta, which is rightly regarded as a fantasyland for children, as well as for adults who are kids at heart. Solebuddies of all ages visited Waterbom from Denpasar, Klungkung, Sanur and Ubud. Every child came with their unique situation and conditions, from cerebral palsy to Down Syndrome, but such things were pushed into the background on the day and the focus was on fun and frivolity. Solemen’s Fun Days are made possible by the help and support of generous businesses and individuals. The March Fun Day was sponsored by Waterbom; Zappaz, which provided a delicious lunch; the Bali Dynasty, which supplied towels; and Paradise Property, which supplied transport.

Trying Hard You do try, really, to put a positive note into your Bali commentaries. No, really. It’s a great place with many more positives than negatives, if you look for them. You must just remember to discount bureaucracy as any sort of starter for the tick list. So it is with the new system for screening incoming checked baggage at Ngurah Rai’s international terminal. That’s now done before it appears on the carousel for collection. And that’s ¿ne. It’s a better way of doing things than the melee-making x-ray screening point that used to create chaos at the exit from the baggage hall.

C/CE/G-20 Jan. 16

Except that it isn’t. They’ve simply shifted the focus of the chaos. It now takes place out of sight while passengers work on their hypertension waiting at carousels that go round and round bereft of baggage for far too long and carrying only a forlorn makeshift sign on a piece of red board that says delays are for baggage inspection and customs reasons. The sign apologises for the delays. Are these delays permanent? If so, it would be better to put up a permanent sign. It can certainly be said, as a general defence against criticism, that airports worldwide are signi¿cantly challenged when it comes to producing customer interface congeniality. Brisbane Airport’s massive clearance queues for arriving passengers were a disgrace early on Apr. 27, for example. Though that’s not an airport management issue. It’s another Border Farce. The Aussies are good at those. But if Bali’s airport wishes to retain its apparent position as one of the best around (we’d love to analyse the questionnaires on which that rating was delivered, but never mind) then someone at Angkasa Pura I should forget about gazing at the gold stars for a moment and trot out to look at the shemozzle.

BA Feature Article The Bali Hash House Harriers Host (Other) Hashers by Peripatete On any given day of the week, wherever in the world you are, you might spot people bounding up hills, tearing through forests, leaping across chasms and wading through streams as they chase down little pieces of paper strewn along the trails. If they strike you as a rather curious bunch, you might be surprised to learn that they are part of the world’s largest (and possibly oldest) running club, the Hash House Harriers (HHH) – a club that, because of its emphasis on socializing, is also known as “a drinking club with a running problem.” From its earliest beginnings, the Hash House Harriers have witnessed tremendous growth, and are now – with about 2,000 chapters in 180 countries, on all continents including Antarctica - considered an international phenomenon, and a sub-culture with terminology, nicknames and rites all their own. Bali, whose Hash club (or kennel) was founded nearly 40 years ago, and has been recognized as one of the world’s supreme hashing locations, is slated to host this year’s biennial Interhash. (Bali’s ¿rst Interhash in 1988 attracted between 2,600 and 2,700 participants.) Between May 19-22, thousands of runners from 70 countries will converge on the island, spending their days setting off on runs from 10 different sites, such as Tampaksiring, Pura Ulun Danu, Mengwi and Goa Gajah. The Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel in Sanur, a 20-minute drive from the airport, hosts the international event. Activities include dinner parties, the outrageous Red Dress Run and the Old Farts Run – which is more of a beer stroll in memory of members who have passed. The Genesis of Hash The origins of the Hash go back as far as the early 1930s – when a group of male British expats in Kuala Lumpur (K.L.) adapted the children’s game Hares & Hounds into a leisurely pursuit, wherein the appointed hare would create a paper trail for the harriers to follow. The trail always ended at the Royal Selangor Club Annex, where the expats (aka ‘inmates’) lived during the interwar period. Though these nameless clubs, operating weekly under somewhat relaxed Hash rules, allegedly ¿zzled out by the mid-1930s, their existence laid the groundwork for what would become the Hash House Harriers. By 1938, when British expatriates Albert Stephen Gispert, Cecil Lee, ‘Horse’ Thomson and others were living in K.L., they revived the harrier group; with the bland food served at their Club’s dining room becoming the inspiration for the mildly derogative nickname “Hash House.” Thus was formed the ¿rst, “Mother Hash” club, complete with rules and goals. Among the objectives listed in the K.L. Hash House Harriers’ 1938 charter were: To promote physical ¿tness among our members. To get rid of weekend hangovers. To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer. To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel. According to co-founder Cecil Lee: “The Hash, as a body of individuals, is an intermingling of many types. It’s a linsey-woolsey bag of blokes with a single-minded – some might simple – common aim: togetherness. Run together: drink together: sing a song together. All together now.” The inaugural run took place in December 1938. With the outbreak of World War II and the invasion of Malaya by the Japanese in 1941, the Hash once again disbanded. Nearly one year after war’s end, in 1946, the original members (except for Gispert, who was killed in Singapore) re-launched the Hash in K.L. with a run described as more of a “trot around the race-course.” Shortly after, clubs were formed in Johor Baru and Malacca. By the late 1960s, Hash chapters had started in Singapore, Kuching, Brunei, Kota Kinabalu, Ipoh, Penang and Perth – the first club outside Malaysia and Singapore. By 1992, over 1000 Hash groups existed in more than 135 countries. Bali Gets a Hash In May 1977, British-born Ubud resident Victor Night-Jar Mason founded the Bali Hash House Harriers (Bali HHH) and Hash Harriers 2 (HHH2). While living in Hong Kong in the mid-60s, Mason went to Singapore where he was ¿rst introduced to the Hash. Then he ran in K.L. Back then, and until the 1970s, there were only about a dozen hashes.

“When we ¿rst started, almost all of our members were Balinese,” remembers now-78 year old Mason. “Hardly any expats – maybe half a dozen - were living here at the time; consulting with the government or experts in hydrology or something like that.” “For the very earliest runs, we met at Murni’s Warung (in Campuhan). Murni ran with us for quite awhile back then.” Then, Mason opened the legendary Beggar’s Bush tavern (also in Campuhan), and the Hash started to meet at what would soon become Ubud’s legendary watering hole. Over the years, Mason became well-known as a local ornithologist, author of birdrelated books and the founder of Bali Bird Walks. Running remained a mainstay, and although he hasn’t kept records, Mason estimates that he has “probably done a couple of thousand hashes.” After the countless runs Mason chalked up worldwide, he says, that Bali (and Indonesia in general) is still “the most beautiful place for a run.” Most beautiful, perhaps… but only if you don’t mind the occasional run through knee-deep water. “There were Àash Àoods,” recalls Mason, “so you either swam for it or went home.” Swimming has indeed come in handy on many occasions, says Mason. “I remember running at the MacRitchie Reservoir in Singapore. It’s a pretty long stretch. Instead of running all around it, I and some other chaps decided to swim across - saving ourselves about a mile or so.” Then there was the Millennium Run, on Saturday, January 1st, 2000. “It was one of the best runs – and I was the hare,” says Mason. “I took the hash down to Serangan, and I ran them all over the place. To get back to the beer truck, you had to swim. But some people couldn’t swim or were too shagged up.” Mason wasn’t the ¿rst to get the Hash into deep water: One of the original Hashmen of K.L. allegedly once had to swim across a mining pool to get home after being lost, while on another occasion several of them ran into a stream where “bathed some unsuspecting Malay maidens.” In his 1988 book called Bali Hash, Mason synthesizes the essence of local hashing in his trademark British style: The Hash whereof I now do speak is Bali Hash, or, to give its full designation, Bali Hash House Harriers; which may be de¿ned as a rather less than fast and somewhat more than loose assemblage of odds and sods who like to get together every now and again for a spot of jogging – some might say slogging – thro’ the surrounding countryside, followed by a few beers. Ain’t no harm in that, now is there? These days, the “grandmaster,” as Mason is known in Hashing circles, is still a regular at the Saturday runs. Sometimes one of his ¿ve grandchildren tags along. “My granddaughter was even a hare for a run I did last year.” But now, he says, “I’m merely decoration because I don’t do very much other than talk to the troops after the run.” The ‘troops,’ which in the formative years consisted solely of ‘blokes,’ now counts among its members thousands of women worldwide. Hash House Harriettes, women’s-only clubs, have sprung up around the world. Women are also well-represented among Bali’s Hashing community – which, across the island, possibly has upward of 5 distinct kennels. Among them is California native Lisa Huffman, who has been hashing since 2009 and goes by the moniker Go Figure. After a year of travel around southeast Asia, Huffman and her husband Toby visited Bali – and stayed on a year. That’s when they caught the hash bug. Returning to the U.S., they were caught in the midst of the economic crisis. The downturn, coupled with a longing for Bali, brought them back to the island – and to hashing - in 2012. Then, in early 2015, Toby suddenly died – and his wife planned a party. “Toby always said that when it was his time to check out that I should throw a party,” says Huffman, “so that’s what I did. A lot of hashers came to the Melting Pot where the party was held in order to remember Toby. They even took up a collection. I wasn’t expecting this at all and the money they gave me nearly covered the cost of the rather expensive house cleansing ceremony.”

Huffman’s story is testament to the camaraderie and connections so common among Hash Harriers, who often turn to their fellow runners as they would to family. “Everyone gave me a lot of love and support,” Huffman says. “Whenever a hasher needs help, we can always depend on our fellow hash friends.” That experience bolstered her connection to the hash. Huffman picked up where she left off. She now runs three times a week, up to 10-12 km on each hash. “You get to see the real Bali that you’d never get to see any other way - locals bathing, washing their clothes, slaughtering pigs, working in the ¿elds, beautiful valleys, crossing rivers, traversing rice paddies, waterfalls, gorgeous rice terraces.” Like Victor Mason, Huffman has had her share of memorable runs. On a recent hash that started in the city of Gianyar, her expectations for spotting anything of beauty were pretty low. “But we ran by three waterfalls, climbed alongside one of them and then up into a cave. We splashed upriver through the cave and came out the mouth at the other end.” Another recent outing, full of up- and downhill running, left her toes badly beaten; so much so, Huffman says, that “I’m in the process of losing 3 toenails as a result.” Javanese native Triana Threesome A¿nni has experienced less hardships on the trails than Huffman. Although she joined the Hash in 2004 (at the urging of her German husband), and has generally kept to a once-a-week hashing routine, busy weekends have kept her off the trails recently. But the familial aspect of the Hash promises to lure A¿nni back at some point; if not to her regular running club’s post-run circle, then perhaps she’ll be drawn to an even larger gathering - the Interhash. Interhash 2016 The very ¿rst attempt at an Interhash get-together was in1946, when the K.L. club held the 1000th run. But the official Interhash was launched by the Hong Kong HHH chapter back in 1978. “Originally the idea was for a few chaps to get together and have a few drinks, a bit of tomfoolery,” says Mason. “I did them all up till the 90s. But then it got rather too big and commercial. Of course I’ve been invited anyway – to hang around and go to the Old Farts and have some beer.” For this year’s edition of the Interhash – or, as Victor Mason has been known to call it, the Hash Unconvention – up to 6,000 participants are expected to follow trails along paths all over Bali. Among the countries to be represented: Bahrain, Dubai, Qatar, Germany, UK, US, Canada, Turkey, Jordan, Kenya, Australia, NZ, Taiwan, Japan, Ireland, Thailand, Scotland and Switzerland. The Hashers include: Der Tulip Eater from Copenhagen. Juicy Lucy from the Netherlands. Eskimo from Helsinki. Hashtronaut from Bombay. Sickboy from Glasgow. And Immaculate Deception from Ottawa. Across the hills and rice paddies of Bali, hash terms will come alive with the sounds of on-on (not to get lost) and down-down (a punitive order, such as to chug one’s beer). Virgins (new runners) will be christened in the runners’ circle. The Red Dress Run, an annual tradition and fundraiser, will launch a large swath of brightly bedecked runners onto Bali’s roads, ¿elds and forests. And, undoubtedly, truckloads of Bintang beer will be delivered to each of the sites, ensuring that all can enjoy a post-Hash swig and a song. INTERHASH song - (1982 Interhash Jakarta) Yes I recall those interhashes Simply monumental bashes Bastards by the thousand came Some were lame but all were game Bastards every shape and hue Black, white, yellow, all true blue Short arsed fat lean lank & tall Omnium gatherum wankers all… For more information: http://www.thehashhouse.org/ and http:// interhash2016.com/

By Ayu Spicy - 2 Tbl. finely grated lemon zest - 2 Tbl. lemon juice (or 1 Tbl lemon juice and 1 Tbl spiced vinegar see recipe: http://baliadvertiser.biz/spicedsaffron-vinegar/ ) - 4 dashes Tabasco - several grinds of fresh black pepper

C/G/G-27 April 16

- 1/4 - 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil Directions:

I had a jar of pitted Kalamata olives in the fridge. These were a bit softer than I like so we turned them into Tapenade - a very easy appetizer to make. You just put all the ingredients into a food processor and turn it on. Eccola! Tapenade. Plus you can vary the taste by changing the herbs and the kinds of olives you use.

Tapenade

Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Put all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor and turn it on. Stop from time to time to scrap down the sides until you have a finely chopped spread. Taste and adjust to what suits you. Then turn on the processor and slowly add the olive oil. Taste again and adjust to your taste. If you don’t have a food processor, chop all the ingredients finely and combine. Slowly add the olive oil beating with a fork until it is well incorporated. Pack the tapenade into small jars and tamp down with a spoon. Float a thin layer of olive oil over the top so no tapenade is sticking up out of the oil. Twist on the lids and keep in the fridge. As long as there is no air hitting the tapenade, it will keep for several weeks.

Ingredients: - 2 cups pitted olives - you can mix green and black for variety - 2 Tbl. capers - 2 anchovy fillets (optional) - 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves (or other fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, rosemary, or mixed) - 1 large garlic clove, pressed

Kuala Lumpur is a super city and thought it would be fun to share my thoughts in general in this issue of Retail Therapy. 6o itÂśs really a girlyÂśs point of Yiew a Ă€y in and Ă€y out sort of breaN purely from a shoppers Yiew point partiFularly if your interest lies in maNe up and perfume most of the names mentioned further on aren’t found in an airport duty free either). It’s been many years since my last visit to Malaysia, and it was one city that I visited often due to friends living there of course it was a total surprise to rediscover this city, it’s so grown up (asy to Ă€y out on Air Asia direct or Malaysian Airways for a long weeNend breaN to the capital Kuala Lumpur (known as KL). $ friend gave me a description of ./ before I left, Âłit’s liNe 6ingapore but a little frayed around the edges´ a good analogy. 1ot as clean and sterile as a city we Nnow, but a city with bustle and character, more feeling, more real life perhaps‌ I was totally impressed on arrival to what I would call an airport that functions well, head a few levels down to a modern train line that taNes you directly to the city‌. +owever, this time I tooN a ta[i with a friendly driver to my city destination instead. One can’t help but notice the incredible road system with plenty of green all around. liNe 6ingapore but minus all the tropical Ă€owers) Of course being a shopper I was Neen to hit the streets and not only found a plethora of fabulous shops but e[perienced delightful, friendly people who were sincere and genuinely helpful in every way‌. The infrastructure was apparent, it all worNed, the city was clean, I was impressed, there’s even a monorail that connects to the main railway station KLCentral all the way to Petronas Twin Towers. The shops! one would call it ‘mall shopping’ as it’s the malls that call for your atten tion. It’s liNe Singapore which will provide plenty of retail therapy in two or more days; wandering at will, people watching, discovering new places and sure, spending some money Must liNe the locals who all seem to have a lust for shopping!

Avianto: Weaving Bamboo into Art Every so often, a hint of nature appears in the most unexpected and incongruous of places. That was the case at an exhibition titled ‘Roots. Indonesian Contemporary Art’ that wrapped up earlier this year at Germany’s Frankfurter Kunstverein, when the museum’s frontage was plastered with a massive swathe of bamboo. The site-specific installation, titled Pohon Besar (Big Trees), 2015, constructed in conjunction with Indonesia’s appearance as the Guest of Honour at the last Frankfurt Book Fair, was both a tribute to Indonesia’s cultivation of bamboo, and a paean to global tensions between traditionalism and modernity. Taking inspiration from his homeland’s traditional craft and design, sculptural artist Joko Dwi Av i a n t o a n d h i s team wove more than 1,500 stalks of bamboo – imported from plantations in West Java - into an intricate canopy resembling four giant banyan trees framing the museum’s doorway. “We tried dozens, maybe thousands of bamboo species,” says Avianto. “I settled on the Ratu Boko type from West Java and other parts of Indonesia.” The complex project, installed over the course of three weeks, expressed a continuation of Avianto’s exploration into the notions of space and spectacle. The monumental weaving, a basket-like interlace comprised of six-meter-long lengths of bamboo shoots, juxtaposed itself against the building’s stone façade. “I have my own concept about the tree,” says Avianto,” that [it] was used especially as a people’s gathering place, a place to interact, a shelter.” Born in 1976, in West Java, Avianto graduated from the Bandung Institute o f Te c h n o l o g y where he first began pushing boundaries. Partly due to his p i o n e e r i n g aesthetic and activist inclinations, Avianto became part of the ‘PostReformation‘ generation in Indonesia that emerged in 1998, roughly 30 years after Suharto’s regime. His work, like those of other artists of the era, evokes resistance and is characterized by an unbridled freedom of expression and experimentation. Early in his career, Avianto began to create compositions and exhibitions using natural ¿bers and non-conventional materials. His use of bamboo, dating back more than 15 years, involves the technically sophisticated manipulation of the matured grass stalks. Among his early works is an elephant, cobbled together entirely out of bamboo. Employing traditional Sundanese weaving techniques called calongcong (or anyaman), Avianto developed an innovative technique for sculpting bamboo – which involves breaking the long fibers of the columns between each stalk’s node using carefully planned incisions – to construct his

exaggerated art pieces. Repeated experimentation with bamboo over the years have enabled Avianto to bend and mold extremely rigid bamboo poles into softly undulating forms that express movement and rhythm. Avianto’s use of bamboo refers to its historical use as a building material and a staple of traditional craft, that is gradually being replaced within a rapidly growing society and its relentless industrial development. As a critical commentary on the changing environmental, socioeconomic and cultural values associated with bamboo cultivation, Avianto’s work reÀects his many concerns: a new wave of globalization and land appropriation (by the palm oil industry) leading to the depletion of cultivated bamboo forests; and the decreasing number of bamboo craftsmen.

C/Ho/I-11 May 16

Pohon Besar is only the recent installation in a series that sculptural artist Avianto has created over the years. Among his many commissions and exhibitions around Asia (including one at Biasa Bali), was a 2010 exhibit called Wrapping Java. For this installation, Avianto erected a horizontal sculpture made of bamboo in front of Jakarta’s Ciputra World Marketing Gallery. In 2012, as part of a group exhibition titled PPKI (Pekan Produk Kreatif Indonesia), at Jakarta’s Epicentrumwalk Kuningan, Avianto installed a piece called the catastrophe under construction. In the shadow of a gleaming glass skyscraper, against which his towering bamboo structure was built, the contrast between modernity’s constructions using manmade materials with those found in nature is selfevident.

At Art/Jog12, Yogyakarta’s annual art fair, Avianto installed a woven bamboo sculpture at the entrance. He used 1,700 bamboo poles to cover the building, making incisions in each pole to facilitate the shaping of each stalk. Then, in 2013, during a residency in Penang, Malaysia, Avianto was invited to install a work at the George Town Festival entitled Theater of Ships. The dramatic façade - a boat-like structure constructed entirely out of braided bamboo - was inspired by the local Penang culture and its historical position as a maritime trading hub. At Artstage Singapore 2 0 1 4 , Avianto moved his larger-thanlife bamboo installation i n s i d e , constructing a towering Continuous Gate at the Entrance Arch. A master of malleability, Avianto is likely to twist, bend, cut and shape bamboo into innovative forms for many years to come. Photos: Andang Iskandar & Frankfurter Kunstverein

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

If you build it......They will come! ‘Hi Dr Kris, Thank you ¿rst of all for your educational articles - very helpful! I have a quick question; as I’m in the process of landscaping, I will most likely use compost fertilizer, or of that nature. Now, I’ve heard that there could be an issue with an abundance of Flies and Mosquitoes - is it therefore advisable to manage with Neem Oil, as I ¿nd addressing the issue by fumigating or other pesticides would be the very last resort. I thank you in advance. Andy’ Whilst it is possible for Àies and other insects to become a problem in an open composting environment, the easiest way to prevent problems would be to simply compost in an enclosed bin. My main concern would be the mosquitoes due to the potentially life threatening and severely debilitating diseases that they carry, but they won’t be attracted to compost. The Àies and other bugs I am less concerned by, unless it is an open pile or heap then in which case yes, you will want to deal with that problem especially if there are swarms and they are bothering you. If you see insects that resemble mosquitoes in your compost they are most likely harmless crane Àies. For the composting process to work the organisms that will make it happen require air, so an entirely enclosed compost bin locking out the bugs and oxygen with no entry holes will not work well at all. Compost tumblers (the type that stand above ground/rotate) are fully enclosed but they work on the premise that you will be regularly rotating the bin so that air will be cycled through the decaying material. Nevertheless a fully enclosed bin will never work better than one that can easily allow the organisms in. Tumblers also require increasingly more and more exertion as the bin ¿lls and the weight grows, add some moisture into the mix and it can become a demanding physical challenge that even I am keen to avoid, and that’s taking into account that I would consider myself to be reasonably young and ¿t, I could be wrong.... but I doubt it! I’m getting off track here, back to the bugs. Being baseless or without a bottom, a free standing bin allows for contact with the earth below, meaning as you add materials and build it up the soil organisms and worms sniff it out and move straight in - as they say ‘If you build it, they will come!’ That reminds, one time back in Oz when moving house I decided to sell nearly everything I owned on ebay, apart from my clothes that is! The reasoning was that it would save me the hassle of moving things, and anything else of value that I would have thrown out could be saved from the land¿ll by

is ready all you should ¿nd is worms. I do understand that thought of swarming Àies or hoards of creepy crawly cockroaches has discouraged many a gardener from the potential of composting. My main tips to address these issues are: 1. Firstly use a compost bin is your best answer. Everything is enclosed with a lid -out of sight out of mind.

the willing takers of the $1 starting price auctions that I was running. Indeed a lot of the things I sold almost went for free, nevertheless free removal for me! My compost bins were quality and they fetched a decent price though. The winning bidder who turned up was a Mongolian bloke, he had a goatee beard and moustache, as well as a long Àowing mane arranged into a ponytail atop the crown of his head looking very much the part of Genghis Kahn - he even had the woolly boots to match! We had a little joke about how he’d traded his horse in for a 4wd, we loaded up the bins and that was the end of our encounter, or so I thought. To my surprise he called a few days later somewhat concerned about the bins that I had sold to him. “Kris,” he asked in a worrisome tone fearing he’d been done over, “You’ve sold me the bins, but where are the bottoms?” Well then I had to begin explaining the story of compost...if only he’d read the Bali Advertiser – and that’s a true story! So as I mentioned the soil bacteria, bugs, worms, microorganisms etc are a crucial element to the process. As you rightly state fumigating and pesticides should be a last resort. Well for mosquitoes fumigation may be necessary especially if you have severe infestations or poor drainage around your property in times of outbreaks of disease, then again on the other hand they will always be a fact of life (unfortunately) if you are living in the tropics - I mean unfortunately a fact of life, not unfortunately living in the tropics. There would be no point having compost if you were to spray it with pesticides, you would only be killing the bugs that you need, and making your soil toxic at the same time. You will ¿nd all manner of bugs, Àies, wood roaches, larvae and grubs distributed throughout various layers of the pile at different stages, and this doesn’t include the organisms that you can’t see! Which ones are you going to determine to be bad? They all have a job to do. You really are creating your own little world in there and you are the God of the compost, the more diversity you encourage the better the ¿nal product will be! By the time your compost

2. Whenever you add food scraps cover with a thick layer of shredded newspapers or dry leaves, then cover over with soil. The reasoning is twofold, the process will bene¿t and the layer will also act as a buffer so that when you open the bin you won’t have a swarm of Àies or bugs Àying up at your face, but at the same time they will still be down there doing their job. 3. If you have an open pile, either bury fresh food scraps within or cover with some dry leaves, a few sheets of newspaper then top it all off with a sprinkling of soil(natures lid), and there you have a perfect compost sandwich. You won’t see the bugs and there will be no nasty odours. On a note of caution though, if rodents become a problem revert to a bin, those nasty critters can detect scents far beyond human capabilities and it is truly disgusting what they would consider a tasty snack and the sorts of diseases they carry. Mosquitoes in the garden are the really the big worry, and there are simple things that you can do to reduce them in your living area and gardens. Eradicate all sources of standing water, ¿x leaking taps, empty drip trays in pots or water less, remove junk, buckets containers etc that collect water after rain, if puddles form aerate the soil, if you collect rainwater make sure tanks or containers are enclosed, if you have roof guttering ensure it is clean and free of debris so that water drains off immediately after rain. There are even some types of plants that you may grow to discourage mosquitoes, who knows you may already be growing some of them, lemongrass is the ¿rst one that comes to mind. I feel like I am just getting started here, but I’ve already run out of space! For more ideas on eradicating mozzies have a look online at some previous articles written by myself and Kim Patra (Paradise.... in Sickness & in Health). http://baliadvertiser.biz/mosquito/ http://baliadvertiser.biz/natural-mosquito-repellent-fromcommon-plants/ http://baliadvertiser.biz/mosquitoes/ http://baliadvertiser.biz/mosquito-proo¿ng-your-home/ http://baliadvertiser.biz/mosquito-proo¿ng-your-home-part2-fooging/

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MAY 11 - MAY 25, 2016

The Sun continues in Taurus until the 20th of this month and will then enter into the sign of Gemini and will be joined by Venues on the 24th. Our Full Moon on the 22nd is in the sign of Sagittarius, the polar opposite of Gemini. Mercury retrograde will station direct on the same day as the Full Moon and will retrace its steps back to 23 degrees of Taurus in the first week of June. With our very balancing grand earth trine continuing throughout this fortnight and the Full Moon, you can know that any discomfort created by the mutual planets and their T-Square will be smoothed over. Jupiter is opposite Neptune and both squared to Saturn in Sagittarius and this will transform into a grand cross dynamic as the Sun and Venus in Gemini hit the same crucial degrees in early June. Mutual signs are generally more easy going and tend to flow with events and accommodate changes better than the fixed or cardinal signs. With a T-square and grand cross dynamic we can assume that there will be some confusion and lack of clarity with regard to direction or action and particularly so with our Mars still retrograde until the end of June. There will be an exact square from Neptune to Saturn in the middle of next month as well and our first of this series was back at the end of November. There could well be some trickery and deceptive tactics afoot and particularly within the political arena. FULL MOON 1 Sagittarius 14 May 22, 2016 5:15 a.m.

Your travel aspirations will be highlighted around this Full Moon although there could be challenges and conflicting ideas arising to inhibit you feeling free enough to follow your desires. Work prospects or your capacity to make money are looking good and this may hold you back from booking those tickets just now as well. It could be a case of make hay while the Sun shines. There are some much hidden issues or agendas that will continue to build over the next few weeks. If your gut instincts are asking you to wait or to be a little wary of certain situations or people then probably better to trust it.

Venus and the Sun are bringing the possibility of travel or a little foreign romance your way. Of course you will need to consider other aspects of your life before you jump in head first and you may also want to weigh up how this will affect your work and the other plans you have made. You are quite emotionally balanced at this time and even with the yet to be revealed or hidden aspects of yourself you still have a very solid core. With a practical minded approach to even the deeper issues or money matters you will be able to face any challenges that may have previously arisen.

Venus and the Sun in Gemini will make for some interesting discussions around your finances, value systems and shared resources this month. Your friendships are going through some changes and as well any relationships you have with children. If you are unclear on certain issues pertaining to any of this, then it’s probably better to just stand in what you know as true for yourself and elevate your thinking to a more practical and level headed approach. Sometimes it is a challenge to discern the truth or to know where you allegiance actually lay and with your own good nature allowing you to be swayed, stay attuned to your intuition.

This is a great time to get on the same page with your friends and beloveds. So much can be achieved through sharing ideas and resources. Even if your finances fluctuate and at times you are uncertain of how to balance out the different areas of your life, you can be sure that a little planning and resourcefulness will carry you through the trials and tribulations of life. At times you can be quite generous with others and even if miscommunication takes place you are quick to restore the balance with a little honest reflection and feedback. Some inner tension will remain to keep you pushing the personal boundaries.

Birthday month is almost here and you can know that it is a time for some grand visions to be grounded. Some of you will be creating new homes or making big changes to existing ones and your thoughts and creative visioning runs deep. With financial considerations taking you through a rather deep transformation this is the time to stay very practical minded. This is the beginning of a new cycle and one that emphasises the polarity between self and other. Your significant relationships are up for review. Do you give too much of yourself with regard to the family, or is the other person carrying the brunt of the load?

As the worldly issues draw your attention you are ready to delve deeply into your own value system and to review your daily life. How those things you do every day impact the environment and the people around you; within your own community. Family matters are still the major theme in your life and the potential for you to over-do or give keeps you ever vigilant. The Full Moon in your sign will help you to focus on yourself and to take responsibility for your own creations and relationships. This is a good time for romance if you care to share your thoughts and heart with another. Personal relationships are highlighted.

This fortnight your everyday work or volunteer situations are highlighted. If you are living abroad it may be time to think about those you love in other parts of the World. You have very strong spiritual ideals at this point in your life and yet you are being called to really bring them down to earth in a way that you can practically communicate them. Your one-on-one relationships through romance, friendship and business can offer the platform that you need to share and get clear on the next chapter of the journey and all that needs to be put in place for it to succeed. The truth is a very valuable asset.

It could either be through romance or the children in your life that you find stimulating and practical information this fortnight. Your powerful nature is impacting the environment in a positive way, particularly as you’ve elevated the way you view the World and deal with everyday situations. Even though you may still remain sensitive to the spoken word or are more intuitive than normal, you can still apply yourself to ever changing situations in a way that remains practical. If you feel that others are only sharing half the truth with you or even untruths stay open enough to allow things to reveal at a more appropriate time.

You are feeling uplifted by your friends and probably enjoying a lovely social and communicative time and yet there may some niggling doubts arising around the Full Moon. If you’ve been over generous with sharing your resources or finances it may be a time to rein things in a little. As you get more grounded in your daily work routine and career aspirations the coffers can begin to accumulate once more. This could be the time for a romance with an older partner or you may wish to clear the air with a parent. Your deep emotional nature is pushing you to share some hidden emotions and to open now to the truth.

If you have far reaching responsibilities or a global community of friendships, you will be on the alert this month to the need for communication and sharing of thoughts and feelings. It seems that there is a rather fortunate abundant reserve made available to you during this time and it will help you to create a place of transformation and family inspired communication. You may want to hold those close to you, even closer during this period. As you care deeply about others and their well-being you are most generous with not only money, but offer a caring heart and service attitude. Take care to nurture your own needs as well.

The Full Moon at the end of this fortnight is highlighting family traditions. While much of your focus will be on your career over these next week’s you will also want to balance out your relationships and your personal time. So much is going on in your own private world and the need to integrate your transformation through the mind’s logical understanding necessary. Many of you give far too much of yourselves and this time to digest the recent past is particularly paramount for your sense of wellbeing. The stress that is being created cosmically will propel you to talk more, intuit situations and act on impulses that feel true.

As a mutable sign yourself, the cross is offering you the opportunity to interact deeply with others at home and out in the World. Your senses are attuned to the other worldly and this helps you to reach through the veils and to practically ground the information you receive. Many of you work best in a personal one-on-one setting or at least in a place that you can give everyone a little personal attention. Do your best to avoid burning out or giving too much of yourself during this time. As a powerful force within the community you can help make the necessary changes that will bring stability and practical advice.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

What does ‘Kolot’ mean? If you hang out with young Indonesians, you may hear this word a great deal. Originating from the Javanese, kolot means “old fashioned / out of date / conservative / traditional”. Even though ‘traditional’ often has positive connotations in Indonesia (particularly when talking about preservation of cultural), kolot is used purely negatively to describe an older person who is stuck in their ways. It also suggests someone who is unbending and unwelcome to change. In so many ways, Indonesia is still a very traditional Eastern culture where concepts such as respecting your elders/seniors/teachers/community leaders are ingrained from birth. Visit any local school, private or public, and you will see kids greeting their teachers one by one by lifting the teacher’s hand to their forehead in humble respect. The positive side of all this reverence is that kids learn humility and to respect their elders; on the downside, elders see themselves as people worthy of respect and in that sense can be hard to relate to. This can lead to problems when a community leader is young – even though he or she may have great, progressive ideas which may benefit the community as a whole, elders may be resilient to change. For example, a young leader may want to change bad habits such as illegal trash dumping and burning by creating a trash bank and encouraging families to compost, but first he may meet resistance by elders who see that the way they deal with trash (dumping and burning) as being traditional, therefore correct. This generation basically lives on the Internet (well on Facebook at least), and are being fed information (some right and some wrong of course) about the world that is not just Bali. For hundreds of years, Balinese only knew their own village and even up until the late 1970s some villagers even thought that the president of Indonesia lived in America! For them, any place outside of Bali was simply ‘Jawa’ (Java): the only place they knew of outside Bali. Many young here are full of new and exciting ideas, and those who work in the government no longer need to go on expensive comparative study tours to learn about efficient waste disposal systems, solar energy or biogas: they can learn about all of this on the Internet. In 10-20 years, the kolot generation will be no more, leaving the bad habits to history and allowing Bali and Indonesia to progress to a new level of awareness.

“A Swineherd Seeking Pannage”

Finally it is a very sexist phrase isn’t it - why is it always a female suid? Is the female auricular appendage likely to be a tad more silkenesque than it’s male counterpart? I have a sneaky suspicion that the scrotal rather than the aural parts of a porker may be a bit more suitable for the manufacture of pochettes. So we must simply accept that silk purses and pig’s ears are not mutually compatible and move on like a swineherd seeking pannage. Oh, but just a minute. It is quite amazing what you can do with a good dose of well placed lighting. A dilapidated hovel that, in daylight, looks like the lair of a collector of used cigarette ends may, under the cover of darkness, be transformed into a wondrous glittering palace. No I am not talking about stringing up a few winking (I did say winking) pink LEDs to make your failing restaurant look like the owner is either desperately trying to attract the attention of some poor unsuspecting customer or that it is already August and he is simply too lazy to take down the Christmas lights. I am talking about the ability to totally define a space, to give it ambience and to infuse whatever feeling you wish be it grandeur, sophistication, mystery, tranquility, excitement, confusion, hysteria, depression… Lighting gives you the opportunity to set a scene and to instil within your visitors a feeling, a mood no less. Mind you care is needed, this is a two edged sword and, crudely executed, you may end up with the Barbie doll or, even worse, the bordello look. Like a blank page darkness provides a canvas on which almost anything can be painted. Have a look around, you will note that many places are pretty badly lit. With only a little effort you can probably do a lot better. Lighting provides lots of possibilities and most people, with just a few well placed lights and a bit of creative imagination can have a go themselves and, who knows, they may even find it fun. So how do we go about it? Well let us first consider what we are trying to achieve. Lighting has three distinct purposes and each of these purposes needs to be considered when deciding where and how we will provide light. 1. Functional lighting First we need to be able to see what we are doing. Pretty basic really and common sense to us all but I’ll state the obvious anyway just as a checklist. If we are doing something like working in a kitchen, reading a book or clipping our nasal hairs in a mirror we need suitable lighting to be able to carry out the task. In many work situations good lighting is essential to avoid mistakes. Poor lighting can be particularly dangerous if we are working with dangerous machinery such as lathes or other machine tools. The light must be bright enough to see clearly what we are doing but not so bright that our eyes get tired from the glare. In most situations we will probably also want to avoid shadows or harsh changes of brightness so we will probably need to strategically place more than one light. Indirect lighting can be used to great effect to distribute the light evenly. If your eyes are not too good and if you have trouble focussing bright lighting can increase the contrast between the letters and the page and make it easier to read. If you are an artist you will also need to pay attention to using the right colour of lighting. Did you know that Pablo Picasso’s blue period ended in 1904 when his wife, fed up with everything in the house being blue, bought him a nice new table lamp. 2. Security lighting When we start thinking about security a whole set of different parameters comes into play. We need bright lights with good coverage in the area we are lighting in order to achieve two aims, firstly to allow us to see anyone who enters

Until fairly recently large spotlights or flood lights would use a lot of power and could run up large electricity bills however, with the availability of very bright LED flood lights, we can use much less power and it is now far more affordable to provide good security lighting around your home. Good security lighting can have a powerful deterrent effect on intruders. Why climb into a brightly light garden when the one next door is in darkness? Security lights do, however, tend to kill aesthetics and so you may wish to switch them on only when needed.

Motion sensor lights can be a particularly effective way of scaring intruders away and these can be placed around your perimeter to warn of the intruder’s presence long before they get into your house or anywhere near you. The motion sensors themselves can usually be adjusted for sensitivity to avoid cats and dogs triggering them. It is also a good idea to think carefully about where you put the light switches for security lights, they need to be in the most convenient places should something untoward happen. If you hear a sound in your living room you may wish to be able to switch on a light from the bedroom. 3. Aesthetic lighting This is where lighting really comes into its own. When I was young lighting was pretty simple. Houses had a single lamp hanging from the ceiling in the centre of each room. Gardens were seldom lit. It had about as much aesthetic appeal as a hyena with boils. We have come a long way since then and these days we demand far more aesthetic quality in our lighting. With the advent of LED lights in many different forms, configurations and colours, the possibilities are endless.

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

Experiment, try something and if it doesn’t work you can change it. Have a look around and find things that work and copy the ideas. Try using features such as paintings or trees that you spotlight. As a general rule avoid direct vision of the light itself, what is being illuminated is the important factor. Use pools of light (very easy with modern LED mini spotlights) to selectively illuminate. Take care - lighting can kill atmosphere just as easily as it can create or enhance it, you know the feeling. I remember being invited to parties in Australia only to arrive and find the party was being held in the garage illuminated by glaring white florescent tubes, the only thing missing was a slab with a body on it. Use warm lighting. There is something in our psyche that attracts us to the warmth of a naked flame (candles, campfires, etc) a colour reproduced in the glow of incandescent light bulbs. Modern lights can be produced in all sorts of colours and lighting manufacturers have put a lot of effort into reproducing natural warm hues. Do not overdo it, a single well placed light can have a far more dramatic effect than a clamour of many lights. It goes without saying that these three purposes of lighting can, and at times will need to be, combined. This is where things can get more challenging. For example in a restaurant we need to strike a balance between function and aesthetics. We need to light tables so that people can see what they are eating without destroying the ambience. There is nothing worse than reaching out for your true love’s hand only to end up holding a piece of wet lettuce. As a final comment please remember that, in Indonesia, all the time people are dying and buildings are burning as a result of faulty electrical circuits installed by former purveyors of skin embellishments, aerators of satay grills and gatherers of polymer drinking vessels who, whilest contemplating their umbilicus mysteriously believe that they have acquired magical skills in the art of electrical installation.

C/BM/G-17 Feb. 16

THE LAST LAP One of the big issues for aging expats is the management of our even more aged parents in our original countries. Every time we leave them to return to our Bali homes we imagine that this might be the last time we see them, knowing that it’s a very big world and in an emergency we may not be able to get back in time. Their care often devolves on our stay-at-home siblings who have to manage the dramas and the day to day stuff, while we guiltily return at intervals. It’s a journey. A fall, a stroke or heart attack signals that it’s time for them to downsize, leave a home they may have lived in for decades and adjust to an apartment or independent living in a care facility. Some places now have graduated care, where elders ¿rst move into an independent apartment where meals and oversight are provided and medical care available when needed. Then they move to a different wing or Àoor for the Last Lap.

This will clearly take forever, and after delivering a box to the op shop I came home to discover she had - guess what? - brought home more stuff. This is hard on my blood pressure. Hers is ¿ne. One day we went through a thick folder of recipes carefully clipped from newspapers and magazines, the most recent of which was dated 1974. This is a woman who hated to cook, but there was no possibility of just heaving out the ¿le. Every single recipe had to be unfolded, read aloud and its merits discussed. I did manage to reduce the collection to a small envelope of things she has never cooked and never will. That’s not the point. It’s a control issue. The Last Lap means having to give up most of the material possessions acquired over a lifetime as territory shrinks from a house to an apartment to a single room. Mama guards her stuff ¿ercely.

My parents began this journey about six years ago, ¿rst moving from their home of 55 years to an independent living apartment. Six months later they Àed the quiet formality of it and found their own unsupervised apartment. Here they forgot to take their meds or cook dinner, causing their daughters to wring their collective hands in despair. Two years ago papa, who is legally blind and falls down a lot, went into a care facility nearby. Mama stubbornly clung to her apartment until a month ago. There are a couple of interesting options for those of us who want to bring our parents to Bali for the Last Lap. At last, within sight of her 96th birthday, she has conceded that it’s time she moved out of her apartment and into an independent living facility near my sister if her cat can go too. British Columbia is enormous so everything is far away; Beth lives on Vancouver Island. She is a star. For years every time there was some medical drama she would board the pets, drive for hours, take a ferry and drive some more to pick up the parents and dust them off, pay the bills, arrange appointments and stock the fridge before making the same journey in reverse. Every move has been a major drama. My God, the stuff they collect. Mama has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, one symptom of which is hoarding. Papa was just a hoarder. Emptying their house was a lengthy nightmare, as they refused to admit that the contents of an overfurnished four bedroom home were not going to ¿t into a small apartment. After the second move mama managed to completely jam her apartment full of unnecessary objects.Any bare, Àat surface is an anathema to her and she is deeply attached to every piece of paper and ornament. Just opening the subject of downsizing her collection of arti¿cial Àowers starts a tantrum. We go slowly, packing maybe one box a day.

care. After his death the caregivers dispersed to other occupations, but if you need a carer trained in dementia contact Susan at alanka2@hotmail.com. This option is a great deal nicer and more personal than an institution in the west and much less costly. Susan will be talking about her experience with Alzheimer’s at the Teddx Ubud event on May 28. Two other friends are very happy with the care their parents are receiving at SadaJiwa Healthy Ageing Facility near Mengwi (www.sadajiwabali.com). Designed and managed by a Balinese doctor, it offers 24 hour tender loving care in a resort-style environment. “When I see my father smiling and tanned, and making jokes as he Àirts with the nurses, or just singing along to all the old tunes, I know I have done the right thing for him,” said Ron Lilley, who brought his father from the UK to Sada Jiwa 18 months ago. “He’s happy and doing well. Actually, in a parallel world, I would have brought my mother out here with my father, so they could live out their days here together, and I could have been close to them knowing that they were well cared for.” In Indonesia I believe geriatrics is not even offered as a specialty. So there’s very little informed support when coping with a partner or parent with dementia, a condition very common with advancing age. My Balinese neighbours have their hands full with two elders in the compound who have dementia. There are no calming-down pills here it seems.

The next morning we tackled the rock collection. A few years ago she began to pick up interesting rocks: beach agates, river stones with ribbons of minerals in them, fossils. It’s amazing what mama can see with her solitary, 95 year old eye (she lost the other one about 50 years ago). She consented to curate her collection and selected a few favourites so I could release the rest back into the wild. This took hours. “I think I need a calming-down pill,” she said faintly when I opened the door of the locker in the basement. Among the empty suitcases, unlabelled boxes and patio furniture were about 6,000 photographic slides spanning the family’s history over 60 years. The thought of reviewing these sent us back upstairs where we shared a calming-down pill and a pot of tea. This Last Lap is not for sissies, and many of us are not exactly spring chickens ourselves. Downsizing for the Last Lap is physically heavy, highly emotional work and it goes on for a long time. Then there is the issue of care. If the elders are still robust and adventurous, there are a couple of interesting options for those of us who want to bring our parents to Bali for the Last Lap. My friend Susan trained a team of male caregivers to look after her husband when he was far gone in dementia with Alheimer’s. His last years were happy ones, living in his own cottage with a garden, a dog and 24 hour

We have very few rites of passage in our culture, compared to the Balinese who acknowledge so many nuances of life. Ours are Spartan indeed by comparison: birth, perhaps a graduation, marriage, (long pause) death. Like menopause, that other unacknowledged rite of passage, the Last Lap is not a single event but a process that goes on for years. The Last Lap is seldom easy. Beth and I try to see it as an ongoing sitcom with an aging cast and unpredictable script. There’s a lot of dark humour there if you dig for it. Get out your shovel.

Besakih: Bali’s Soaring Mother Temple Bali’s oldest, largest and most impressive and austere temple complex is 61 km (2.5 hours) NE of Denpasar and one-third the way up the slopes of G. Agung with unsurpassed views. Actually consisting of three temple compounds that stretch for over a kilometer, Besakih is the “Mother Temple” of Bali and the most important of the island’s sad-kahyangan religious sites with more than 85,000 foreign visitors annually. It’s Bali’s supreme holy place, a symbol of religious unity and the only temple on the island that serves all Balinese. Legend has it that King Kesari who is mentioned on the inscription on the 10th C. Sanur pillar founded Besakih. The archaic character and m e g a l i t h i c appearance of Besakih and its myriad shrines that still retain their archaic Old Balinese names are indications that the site is actually very much older. Situated at an altitude of over 1000 m in the mysterious and highly sacred world of mountains and forests, it once was a laborious expedition for pilgrims from all parts of the island to reach the temple. In former times, it was believed that the dif¿cult trek to such a holy place reinforced the ardor of the devotional act. The ¿rst record of the temple’s existence is on a chronogram dated A.D. 1007, possibly describing the death ritual for Mahendradatta. This inscription also reveals that Besakih was used as a Buddhist sanctuary. Several wood tablets, inscribed in the 15th C., give reference to state support of Besakih. For centuries worship at Besakih was the exclusive privilege of rajas, not commoners. Ever since the 16th C. Gelgel dynasty, the main central temple Pura Penataran Agung has functioned as a funeral temple for the dynasty’s dei¿ed kings and as the state temple for the entire island. Gelgel rulers are today enshrined in their own temple, the Padharman Dalem. The great 1917 earthquake destroyed the temple, but it was subsequently restored to its original form. Besakih was again heavily damaged by the 1963 G. Agung eruption. Before the catastrophe, the most majestic and enthralling ceremony in the whole Bali Hindu religious calendar held only once every 100 years - the spectacular Eka Desa Rudra puri¿cation ceremony - was held in which harmony and balance in people and nature was to be restored to the earth. This rite occurred 16 years before the proper date because President Sukarno wished to impress a convention of travel agents. Midway through the opulent event, G. Agung began to shower the whole area with ash and smoke, ¿nally exploding in its most violent eruption in 600 years. Earthquakes toppled temples, hot ash ignited thatched roofs, volcanic debris rained upon the earth. As the molten lava moved toward them, Hindu priests prayed frantically, hoping to appease the angry gods, assuring worshippers they had nothing to fear. The eruption threatened to envelope Besaki but miraculously the Àaming lava Àowed around the temple and stopped exactly at it’s borders, sparing most of the temple, though shrouding it with black ash for months. In the end, 1,600 Balinese in the district were killed and 86,000 left homeless. The catastrophe was attributed to the wrath of the god Shiva in his most evil aspect as Rudra. It ultimately became a damning judgment on the entire Sukarno era. The ceremony was held again in 1979, this time on a Saka year and with all the proper of¿ciations. The sacri¿ce of an elephant, a tiger, an eagle, and 77 other animals seemed to do the trick Eka Desa Rudra was completed without incident, reestablishing Besakih’s place as the principal Hindu sanctuary in all Indonesia. The whole complex has since been extensively restored.

main temple compounds venerating the holy Hindu trinity. The longitudinal axes of the compounds point in a NE direction, straight at G. Agung’s sacred peak. Except for the shady dealings that visitors are made to endure, the temple is awesome. Principle temple courtyards in the higher terraces can be reached by walking up long Àights of stone steps through the center and on either side. Pura Penataran Agung is dedicated to the paramount god Shiva or Sanghyang Widhi Wasa; Pura Kiduling Kreteg, honors Brahma; Pura Batu Medog is dedicated to Vishnu. Pura Penataran Agung sits in the symbolic ritual center and consists of a series of 7 terraces, each one higher up the slope than the other, yet successively connected by gates and Àights of steps. In the third inner court is the sanggar agung, a beautifully decorated 17thcentury triple lotus stone throne representing the divine triad. The many terraces within the compounds are strewn with innumerable multitiered meru towers, shrines and seats. Crudely shaped Sinvalingga exhibited in some of the buildings are similar to those found in late Javanese monuments such as monolithic Candi Sukuh in C. Java that are located in equally mountainous realms inhabited by ghosts and supernatural beings. Via a series of long stairways, the temple group ascends parallel ridges toward G. Agung, the honored birthplace of Bali’s deities, tantamount to heaven. Unless you’re Hindu, you may not enter any of the terraces, though you may walk around the entire complex. Beyond an initial great, unadorned split gate, a broad terrace leads to a gapura, which opens onto 50 black, slender, pagoda-like meru temples. The more roofs, the higher-ranking the god or dei¿ed ancestor to whom the meru is dedicated. From the topmost terrace, over 900 m above sea level is a wonderful view of spectacular rice terraces through the clear cool air. Behind, thick white clouds hover over G. Agung. Further up the mountain lies quiet Pura Gelap (“Thunderbolt Temple), the highest temple in the pine forests of the mountain’s southwest slope. Sit awhile to soak it all in. The temple is continually enlarged as municipalities, regencies and wealthy honored Brahman families add more shrines. Each caste and kin group, as well as various sects, artisan guilds and aristocratic families, maintains its own temple. Because so many gods, regencies and old Bali clans are represented here, there’s always something going on. About 70 rituals are held regularly at different shrines, with banners representing each god hung on or near the temple and long lines of dressed up women walking up stepped terraces, their heads piled high with offerings, men assist elderly family members up the steep steps while the children run around laughing. Each of the site’s 23 beautifully decorated temples has its own odalan, the anniversary of the temple’s founding. On the full moon of the 10th lunar month vast crowds pack the entire compound to celebrate the visit of the gods. Other major rites include a commemoration of Besakih’s founding and an important islandwide Water Opening ceremony. During Galungan, enormous throngs of pilgrims turn Besakih into a hive of activity. Besakih is at its most splendid during these festival times when you feel part of the local life. Killing the Goose

Layout And Design

Recently, I wanted to see for myself if all the hundreds of negative comments about Besakih made on social media were true and run some interference for my readers if they were. Although the complex is magni¿cent and awe-inspiring standing against the dramatic background of G. Agung, the experience may not be. For anyone but Balinese (who enter free), it’s like running a gauntlet. But if you play it right and maintain your composure, you can still have a fantastic day amongst these majestic temples.

Besakih is a complex architectural structure consisting of three

Be prepared for illegal self-appointed guides who coerce “tips,”

traders who prey on visitors and dozens of children pestering you to buy postcards and trinkets as well as women who half force you to buy Àowers by putting one behind your ear. There are hundreds of examples of negative encounters that catch visitors off-guard. It’s a pity that so many get turned off or avoid Bali’s most sacred religious site altogether due to the bad image of guides asking for exorbitant donations aside from the already paid, ¿xed ticket price. Visitors are made to feel uneasy and even a little unsafe, leaving with a foul taste in the mouth. This state of affairs is a disgrace to Besakih’s standing as a nominee for World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1995. Similar to Uluwatu, Ubud’s Monkey Forest, the lookout over Lake Batur in Penelokan, the rice terraces of Tegalallang, etc., Besakih is a case study in the stark reality of income inequality and lack of job opportunities in the region caused by the inexorable conversion from a sustainable agricultural economy to an unsustainable tourist-based economy. Located in the poor, far away district of Karangasem, the site is overrun by unregulated and untrained local guides. It’s not unheard for tourists to pay Rp500,000 for an entrance fee, sarong sash and the services of a “temple guardian” when they shouldn’t be paying more than Rp50,000. I witnessed an unknowing French couple pay an outrageous “donation” at the tourist information booth before entering the temple. In truth there is no “of¿cial” guide fee and certainly no posted fees. The multitude of fees aren’t ¿xed and vary widely depending upon who’s on duty, whether it’s a holiday, the whim of the person selling tickets, whether you speak Indonesian or not, where you live in Indonesia and what time of day it is! At the ¿rst gate you must pay Rp10,000-Rp20,000 for entrance tickets per passenger. Motorcyclists are asked to pay a parking fee of Rp20,000. Get your ticket back as there is a scam to distract you and keep the ticket and later you have to pay for another one. In the majority of cases, taking on a guide is just asking for trouble. One scenario has some guides offering a fair amount up front but at the end or even midway through the tour they start haggling for a higher amount of Rp100,000 or more. Some people reluctantly give another Rp50,000 to Rp70,000, but actually you don’t really need a guide nor are you required to buy anything. It helps to have an experienced Balinese driver who can prep you on what to expect and navigate your way through the obstacles and persistent fees. Other options are to sign up for an organized tour with a professional guide or to have a Balinese friend come along to pose as a guide. Clothing to cover yourself and your shoulders respectfully on holy ground is necessary even if you aren’t entering the temple but just want to go to the market. Minimize hassles by bringing your own sarong and sash or you will have to rent them at inÀated prices (Rp15,000Rp30,000). Shops around the temple will quote a rental price of Rp50,000 to begin with but you can bargain them down. From the ¿rst gate, it’s about 5 minutes to the 2nd gate where local guys stop you to check tickets, make sure you’re wearing proper clothes and also hit you up for a donation. Just continue walking up the road to the temple complex. Since you’ve already paid the entrance fee, no other payments are necessary. In spite of this, you’ll be hassled by guides who may even get aggressive if you question why they are stopping you from entering the temple on your own. They will tell you that their service is mandatory, insist that you cannot go up the stairs without a guide, that the temple is especially busy now or it’s a festival and they can show you which temple you are allowed to enter and which ones are forbidden for tourists. Simply smile, not give in to their demands and tell them you want to explore the temple on your own. Head for the stairway to the right or to the left; the central staircase is for worshippers. At times you can only get rid of these people with a lot of dif¿culty, but most likely you won’t be hassled again. The only requirements to enter are a respectful attitude and the right attire. Be determined and keep on walking.

THE END OF THE ROAD……The Last Rites Recent data suggests that Japanese Encephalitis numbers are on the rise. 22 cases were reported on the Island in 2015, not a lot really, however it is quadruple the cases reported in 2014. While cases are relatively few Japanese Encephalitis is of some concern due to the severity of the disease. What Is Japanese Encephalitis? J.E. is a rare but serious viral illness that affects the brain. It primarily affects children between the ages of 2-10 years, the elderly, or individuals with lowered immune systems. Case fatality rates range from 0.3-60% (average 30 %), and approximately 30% of those survivors will be permanently brain damaged in some way. How does Japanese Encephalitis present? Some people that are exposed to the disease will have very mild, or no symptoms at all. Those people will not go on to develop serious consequences of the disease; indeed they will probably never know that they had the disease. Those that suffer severe acute infection would show any or all of the following signs: • Abrupt onset of high fever. • Headache. • Loss of appetite. • Pain behind the eyes. • Neck stiffness • Disorientation or stupor. • Convulsions or twitches / tremors. • Coma. • Paralysis. PERSONS EXHIBITING ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS MUST SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. How do people get Japanese Encephalitis? J.E. is spread by vector transmission, the Culex Mosquito being the carrier. It cannot be transmitted directly from one

person to the next, (i.e. you cannot get it from touching or kissing an infected person).

to reduce cerebral swelling. As usual the best strategy is prevention, which starts with mosquito control.

Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on pigs or wild birds infected with the J.E virus. Infected mosquitoes then transmit the virus to humans during the feeding process. The Culex mosquito typically inhabits rice paddies, and other waterways. This mosquito is essentially an outdoor mosquito, and they are most active in the late evenings or at night.

How do we prevent the spread of J.E.? Firstly, don’t invite this troublesome insect into your area by providing it with ideal breeding grounds. • Make sure that your garden and surrounding area are free of water catchments, or that water containers are covered. • Keep larvae eating fish, such as guppies, in ponds. • Use chemical larvicides in ponds, drains or other water catchments (e.g. Abate). • Remove garbage or unnecessary pots, bottles, cans etc from the garden area. • Lush garden areas should be fogged regularly in the monsoon season. …and secondly, don’t get bitten! • Mozzie plug-ins or vapor mats can be used indoors in the early mornings and late afternoons during the wet season. • Mosquito nets and screens can be used in problem areas. Babies should always be protected by cot, or pram covers. • Wear long sleeved, loose light colored clothing while walking in garden areas. • Personal repellants may be used; however, they should be used with caution in the very young, or the elderly.

Not all Culex Mozzies are carriers of the disease. Only mosquitoes that have been infected can infect you. The Vaccine A vaccine is available against the J.E. virus; however there are a few problems with this. Firstly the vaccine is very expensive. There have been nasty side effects reported following injection with the J.E. Vaccine. About 0.6 % of patients have developed severe rashes and swelling immediately after the vaccine and up to 10 days after receiving the vaccine. It is wise to remain close to medical facilities for up to 10 days after the last dose. The good news is that the vaccine has a high efficacy. This means that once the course has been completed, it gives a high (almost 100%) immunogenic response. It is very effective. The current J.E. vaccine schedule is a course of 3 shots on days 0, 7 & 30. Protection following the primary course of the vaccine is said to last approximately 2 years, therefore most authorities recommend single booster shots at 2-year intervals following the primary course. I usually only recommend the vaccine for anyone that may have a pig farm close their home. So…If I do get Japanese Encephalitis, how is it treated? Firstly, there is no curative treatment for J.E. (i.e. No magic pill, injection etc. that will cure it). J.E. is treated symptomatically by reducing the fever, analgesics for headache, sedatives for seizures and specialized intravenous therapy

FOUR HAND MASSAGE Have you ever tried a four-handed massage? I’ve had hour had passed. many with varying results. When two practitioners are working in synchronicity the effect is sublime. Another day I went to Espace Spa, another wonderful spa known for great treatments. Their Four Hand Massage was You lose track of the hands moving over your body as the very different. Firstly the skilled therapists were women. conscious mind enters into a state of bliss. However, I’ve had several experiences where the four hands weren’t working I was asked to lay face down and right away oil was applied in conjunction. The usual experience involves one therapist to my back by a unique method of “¿rst contact hot hands” on the upper body and the second on the lower body. gently placed on the lower back, neck shoulders and soles of the feet and holding a few seconds. One of the therapists may be using stronger For the 90 minute treatment they add two hands behind the pressure or moving at a knees. Then the hands began to move in unison. It was different tempo. I felt like dif¿cult to tell if there were 2, 4 or 10 hands stroking my back. I was watching a tennis It was very soothing as the tension melted in my muscles. match, my attention was bouncing back and One of them worked on my neck and shoulders while the forth between the two other massaged my lower back. Then they mirrored their practitioners. My mind movements up and down my legs, using some pressure struggled to relax and points and efÀeurage techniques. For the culmination of the t h e r e f o r e m y b o d y back tapotage was used from feet to shoulders for what felt couldn’t relax, making me regret my choice of massage. like several minutes. I felt like a drum. How can the practitioners learn to work as a synchronized team? Training and lots of practice. It’s important for the practice model to give good feedback to help the partners get the timing right with matching pressure. This massage requires more practice than other massages to get it right. It may take months to develop a four hand massage to get the timing and pressure matching for the two to work as a Àowing team. Usually one will be the lead and the other follows. In a busy spa it’s sometimes dif¿cult to get two therapists that are a perfect match that are both available to give a treatment. When they get it right, it’s magic. I went to one of my favourite massage spots Jari Menari for a Four Hand Massage with two male practitioners. They have just completed renovations for their expansion in Seminyak, adding a training center, massage rooms and a new entrance. The place looks chic in its Zen-like fashion. Here the staff learns the four hand massage after 12 months of Signature massages. I was led to my treatment room that was open-air, facing a water wall, which creates a lovely serenade while ¿sh gently splash in the pond. Lying face up the magic began, with one practitioner on each of my shoulders they gently and slowly stretched my torso with a twist, which felt really good. Then they each took an arm and pulled up alternatively, stretching my shoulders and sides. Nyoman was at my head and worked on my neck as his partner massaged my feet. He then took both arms and pulled over my head as his partner pulled on my ankles, stretching the body fully, and especially the spine. I had a Àash of being on a rack but this felt wonderful. As Nyoman worked on my neck and shoulders, his partner focused on effleurage techniques on the legs. I began to lose track of their hands. Sometimes one would be on a leg as the other mirrored his strokes. Other times one would be at the top half of the body as the other worked on the lower. All too soon, I was asked to turn over and a new sequence began. I recall Nyoman working on my back as his partner massaged my legs rthymically. By now, I was so relaxed that my brain gave up trying to keep track of their movements and entered a state of bliss. Sometime later I was gently asked to turn over again for the ¿nal sequence as my face and head were gently massaged and my toes were pressed. My mind was blank when Nyoman softly nudged me to let me know that my massage was ¿nished. Already? Too soon. I blissfully lay on the table for a few minutes reluctant to get up, surprised that only an

Then they opened their palms and continued cupping the entire back of my body. All my muscles felt soft. When the cupping ceased stretching began. As one pulled my right wrist the other pulled on my left ankle. Then they alternated the limbs. One took both of my wrists and stretched my arms and shoulders, and then her partner pulled down on my ankles. This Myofascial stretching of the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles as the diagonal limb stretching sends harmonious messages to the brain. It felt like they were having a lovely tug of war with my body. A towel lay across the bed under my waist which the ladies pulled up on one side twisting my torso then the opposite. This memorable towel stretch is part of Espace’s Signature Massage. Nice yummy stretches. A new sequence began on the front of my body with Yanti on my neck and shoulders and Rapi thoroughly massaging my stomach. Eventually they worked their way down my legs in mirror movements. ReÀexology attention was paid to my feet. Next my arms and legs were pulled first alternating then together. To finish the treatment the leader massaged my face, scalp and neck with pressure points while her partner pressed points on my feet. When the treatment was completed my body was free of all tension with loose joints, feeling like a “rag doll”, feeling really good and energized. Espace Spa Jl. Raya Seminyak No. 3B. Br.

Better late than never I guess, by the GOP’s presidential selection process. America’s very but why did it take so long? own Berlusconi down to the wire with one of the most fecally unappealing pieces of political opportunism, now dream- The GOP is poised to permanently lose a generation of voters, teamed with the Àintiest-eyed failed businesswoman I’ve yet and not (only) because of the reprehensible yahoo who’s their to see. Gotta say, I’m with Trump on the pair of them. Mean- presidential front-runner. The Harvard survey shows young while GOP grandees, their billionaire PAC-men and Fox people to be averse to just about every plank in today’s Republican Party platform. News wonder how it all came to this? It’s just too good. If current surveys in the US are anything to go by it would seem that the past three decades of mean-spirited conservatism that has seen the return of wealth disparities not seen since the 1890s may have run its course.

It really does look as if America is on the brink of serious cosmetic change, at least. Having elected the ¿rst black president to two terms, and who will probably go down in history as one of the better ones, the country is on the brink of appointing a woman to the job. Can the Millennials now really complete the job? Let us hope so. Until now, in its wisdom, the great American electorate has tended to split the political difference between the legislative and executive functions ¿guring that’s the best way to keep a handle on the pols. Since it is now clear that the majority of Republicans hate central government so much that they are prepared to close it down, this electoral fudge may not make sense to voters any more. We may at last have a chance of a Democrat president with a House majority. And for that we will have the Millennials to thank. Me, I’m a War Baby D-Day+3. In the 50’s I was aged 10-16, plenty of time to get into Blues and Rock & Roll. In 1968 I’d be 24 and outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square with a few friends. That’s my provenance, without being a dedicated follower of fashion nor agitprop boyo von der loony left. So I ask myself how did you Baby Boomers and Gen X’ers screw it all up so badly? Why did we have to go through the Thatcher, Reagan and God help us Dubya/ Cheney years? We already had half workable mixed economies in place with a half decent degree of social welfare. Something to build and improve upon rather than dismantle I’d have thought. It was called Social Democracy, a term that didn’t scare the bejasus out of folks back then, even if they were Torys.

It’s clear that young Americans are a lot more liberal than the Republican Party on most social issues, including immigration and particularly gay rights. Polls show that LGBT-related policies aren’t the only ones on which young people and Republican traditionalists part ways. As their fervent support for Bernie Sanders indicates, young people are much more supportive of big government and expanded social welfare programs. Compared to their elders it’s today’s 18- to 29-year-olds who believe that health insurance is a right for all people, that basic necessities, such as food and shelter, are a right too; that, along with education, government should provide for those unable to afford them. Government should also spend more to reduce poverty and provide for the old and needy they say. Other surveys show that young people have more favorable views of socialism than of capitalism – the only age group for which this is true. That they reject supply-side “voodoo” economics, i.e. the bankrupt notion that cutting taxes on the rich while slashing welfare bene¿ts makes for a prosperous economy.

C/HE/U-20 Jan 16

To dismiss the signi¿cance of these ¿ndings because young people are almost always more liberal than their elders is wrong. Today’s youth are shifting leftward to a far greater extent than their counterparts in earlier generations. Millennials are now the largest generation in history, and their voter turnout rates will probably increase with age. None of this bodes well for the Republican Party but it might do something for the world at large.

That said the Democrats have a problem with Millennials too. The under 30s really like Bernard Sanders, a man with no formal ties to the Democrat Party. They don’t like Hillary Clinton. A majority of 54% approve of Sanders while a majority 53% disapprove of Clinton. If Clinton becomes President, as Did we all really sell out just to buy a cadet ticket for the seems probable, we will badly need a People’s Tribune in the scraps that fall from the table in the upwardly mobile game person of Bernie Sanders to keep her away from her Wall St. of snakes & ladders that is late 20th century capitalism in buddies. essence?

Siapa... ?

What are your goals?

Mario Cossa:

We use the arts to motivate change and overcome obstacles to greater physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health while enjoying the companionship of people with similar interests and goals. Mobilizing the arts for the higher good is also very much in keeping with the Balinese culture. We draw inspiration from the magical nature of Bali where the physical and spiritual are not wrenched apart into arti¿cially distinct categories, but are interdependent; bringing the extraordinary to the commonplace, the spectacular to the mundane.

Psychodramatist

Please describe some of the courses you offer.

by Bill Dalton

Mario Cossa was born and raised in Newburgh, 60 miles north of New York City. Mario loved musical theatre dancing early on, taking up tap dancing from age 4 to 8. After earning degrees in Biology/ P s y c h o l o g y, Secondary Education and Counseling Psychology in New York and New England, he attained certi¿cations as a Psychodramatist and Drama Therapist, both of which require extensive postgraduate training and examination. Mario has worked as a middle school science teacher in the mid-1970s and has done stints as a newspaper editor, waiter, actor, singer and dancer. Choreographer and children’s theatre instructor, settling into psychodrama and drama therapy in the early 90s. Mario has circumnavigated the globe four times. Where did you practice psychodrama therapy? For over 13 years I ran a program for youth in Keene, NH, that combined psychodrama therapy with training and performances in audience-interactive, issue-oriented theatre. My actors logged about 100 performances a year in schools, for service organizations and at youth conferences throughout New England. Since 2006, I have worked with the Safe School Ambassadors Bullying Prevention Program, active in over 1,000 schools across the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico and Guam. So what is Psychodrama? Psychodrama is a philosophy and methodology for supporting positive life change developed in the 1920s by J.L. Moreno. It was among the ¿rst of the action-based therapies and gave rise to many now common practices, like using role-playing to learn new skills. Today many forms are used in therapeutic settings, in education, in business, in organizations and in other applications. Part of the process includes taking what is going on in our heads and moving it outside where we can look at it to better understand how we operate, then make desired changes in relation to others and our world. The word itself is from the Greek, meaning “the soul in action.” What made you decide to start your own business? When I decided that I wanted to live in Bali I either had to start a business or travel back and forth to the U.S. to earn enough money to live in Bali. I was over the age limit for a KITAS sponsored by someone else, so the only way I could work in Indonesia was to create a PMA. One ¿ne day I was introduced to the folks at Campuhan College and was so inspired by their program that I got excited about creating a company to promote my greatest passion - using the arts to work with people. Voila! Motivational Arts Unlimited (MAU) was created. What does “Motivational Arts” mean? It’s a term coined by my attorney, Tommy Utomo, when we were trying to describe what I wanted to do. Tommy felt the terms “psychodrama” and “drama therapy” were not likely to be understood at all, or misunderstood. The initials MAU spell the Indonesian word for “want/desire.” I chose dancing Ganesh for my logo because I’ve had a fascination with the Indian god as the one who overcomes obstacles ever

We provide training workshops, especially for Indonesian human service providers. In January we had a 2-day training for Youth Workers from various universities and institutes. It was hosted by Campuhan College and cosponsored by Values Institute, World Interfaith Harmony Week and the Asia Foundation. Twenty-four participants from Bali and Java received training in techniques they could put to use in their work. One is Spectrogram, a great way to warm up a group and get a lot of information about participants in a short period of time. Another technique, The Social Atom, is a map drawn on paper of you and the people who inÀuenced you and how you feel about them. This identi¿es troubled relationships in your life and, if redone from time to time, marks progress toward better relationships.

C/He/I-27 April 16

Do you only offer training courses in Bali? In early April we held the ¿rst in what is planned to be a series of psychodrama trainings at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta. There were 60 participants comprised of UI faculty, UI graduate students, faculty from other universities in Java, professional consultants and parents in families with a history of abuse. This course was so popular that some people had to be turned away. Is drama therapy good for personal growth? Actually, these action therapies give one tremendous tools for personal growth and healing. These methods help people identify their strengths and practice using them in times of distress. Opportunities to practice new and healthier responses to old situations are also made available to participants. In a 21-hour course at Campuhan College, students explored The Circle of Your Life, utilizing the sound track from “The Lion King” as background music. While investigating past, present and possible futures in action, students discovered a marked change in their lives and discovered new paths to their hoped-for futures.

C/He/I-25 Nov 15

How are your methods different from other healing practices? Unlike therapies that focus on pathology or dis-ease, psychodrama celebrates what is right about our lives and enhances our strengths. When I worked with teens in New Hampshire, many worked hard to interrupt patterns of abuse and neglect that had existed for generations. Many went on to make healthy and happy families for themselves. Several young women, who had been abused by their fathers, asked me to be a “psychodramatic grandfather” to their children. I now have four, ranging in age from 12 to 21. C/He/I-02 Sept 15

Is the use of arts effective for business and within organizations? Yes! The arts are wonderful tools for team building, role training and for ¿nding creative solutions to dif¿culties. We did a very successful staff-training program at Jari Menari Spa in Nusa Dua. Recently they posted on their Facebook page a video of the staff doing a song/movement activity that I taught them. They have now made this a regular part of their staff meetings. How may you be contacted? Email: mario@dramario.net, tel. 0361 479 2782 or via “Contact Us” at www.dramario.net.

Local News Indonesia Prepares for More Executions One year after the international uproar and the diplomatic fallout over the execution of eight drug traffickers - including two Australian men, Bali Nine pair Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran - it appears more executions could be on Indonesia’s horizon this year. Among the foreigners on death row in Indonesia are two Britons, convicted drug smugglers Lindsay Sandiford and Gareth Cashmore. “I still don’t want to believe it,” says lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis, who this time last year was fighting to save the lives of Chan and Sukumaran. “Yes, there will probably be a statement, but in the end I don’t think there will be any executions. I refuse to believe it.” After 14 prisoners were executed at dawn in two separate rounds in early 2015, a third round has been on hold for the past year, ostensibly for economic reasons, but perhaps, in part, for political ones, too. Yet after whatever fallout there might have been, Australia’s recalled ambassador has returned (after a five-week protest), and executions are back on the agenda. This month, even as Indonesia was being booed at the United Nations for reiterating its support for the death penalty for drug offenders - a punitive action that runs counter to international law - the attorney general Muhammad Prasetyo indicated that another round would go ahead. According to Amnesty International, there were at least 165 people on death row in Indonesia at the end of 2015, and more than 40% of those were sentenced for drug-related crimes. Indonesia has some of the harshest drug laws in the

world, and Jokowi has stated that no drug prisoner will receive a pardon from him. Fresh to the presidency, and to foreign affairs, some say Jokowi failed to anticipate the diplomatic blowback of signing off on the executions last year. The more the international community jumped up and down, the more the stakes were raised - and the harder it became for him to back out without looking weak. Other countries with citizens on Indonesia’s death row have also been forthright in their opposition to Indonesia’s use of firing squads. French president François Hollande said his government was “doing everything to keep Serge Atlaoui alive”; the Frenchman, accused of being the “chemist” for an ecstasy factory outside Jakarta, exhausted all legal appeals in mid-2015. After Cameron said he had raised the case of Sandiford during the official visit to Jakarta, on Jokowi’s return visit to London earlier this month, there were no indications that her case or that of Cashmore were revisited. However, holding a stronger position in parliament than he did last year, it might not be as politically advantageous for Jokowi to conduct further executions in 2016.

American Surfer Injured in Bali Shark Attack A two-meter shark has mauled an American surfer, sustaining a serious arm injury, a doctor said here on Wednesday (27/4). Ryan Boarman, in his 20s, was admitted to hospital in the west of the holiday island on Monday shortly after being attacked by the shark as he surfed at Balian beach. While shark attacks are generally rare in Bali there have been several such incidents in recent years at Balian, a popular surfing spot. Doctor Ni Gusti Ayu Made Sri Pujarini, who initially treated Boarman at a local hospital, said he was conscious when brought in. Pujarini said he underwent emergency surgery and was then transferred to a bigger hospital in the Balinese capital Denpasar. Between 2010 and 2012, there were at least four reports of foreigners, including a Canadian, an Australian and a South African, being attacked by sharks around the beach.

coming years. Those in favor of the reclamation say the project will transform Pudut Island into ‘Pudut Cultural Island’, and in effect, expand its land mass.

Benoa Bay, which sits next to the Ngurah Rai International Airport, has long been honored as a symbol of mangrove conservation. The zone also touches key parts of urban areas in Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and Tabanan.

Additionally, the reclamation area was also said to be vulnerable to tsunamis and likely affected by climate change. In that respect, using the reclamation of Benoa Bay can improve its competitiveness as a tourist destination. Supporters say it can offer high-end resorts with environmentally friendly business practices. They also think developers can set up some kind of disaster mitigation infrastructure.

be female. Prosecutor Ketut Maha Agung said Ellis took the children to his home and “fed them with KFC”. The investigation, which saw Ellis arrested in January, had been lengthy due to the children being “scattered” across Bali,

The Benoa Bay reclamation controversy has been in the works for quite some time, as former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) signed a regulation just a few months before he left office, which would allow for Benoa Bay to be altered from a conservation and environmental buffer zone, and transformed into a bona fide business area. The new regulation removes articles that declare Benoa Bay an environmentally protected conservation area, as outlined in the previous regulation. It also decreases the scope of conservation by adding the key phrase “part of” in reference to the areas of Serangan and Pudut Island, implying that certain parts of those areas can now be developed. Under this regulation, PT Tirta Wahana Bali International (TWBI), as an investor, can reclaim 838 hectares of the area for 30 years with a possible 20-year extension. The company plans to build a long list of tourism sites. These attractions may include nightclubs, a theme park, resort hotels, a golf course, a luxury-shopping complex, restaurants, bars, cafes, apartment buildings, and a slew of condominiums and villas. TWBI is a subsidiary of the Artha Graha Network, a Jakarta-based property company controlled by billionaire Tomy Winata. The firm has invested more than US$3 billion for development sites across 12 new islands in Benoa Bay. Public debate surrounding the Benoa Bay reclamation has brought forth several points of view. Those who feel good about it argue that the area of Pudut Island in Tanjung Benoa is already endangered, with dredging and natural erosion projected to decrease its size by ten hectares in the

Parties that believe the project is a bad thing say the area is home to at least 70 sacred Hindu landmarks, all of which need to be protected for religious tradition and continuity in Bali. Hindus consider Benoa Bay to be a holy area due to the presence of 60 natural sites, including 19 estuaries and 17 small islands that emerge during low tide. I Wayan ‘Gendo’ Suardana, coordinator of the Forum of Balinese Against Reclamation (ForBALI), has started a different movement. ForBALI is comprised of hundreds of student groups, non-governmental organizations, musicians, and other parties who have staged routine protests every month since 2011 against the reclamation. Gendo claims there are 32 traditional villages around Tanjung Benoa that support the movement together with high priests from the Indonesian Hindu Religious Council. He says, “It was such a pity that SBY issued the regulation in the months before ending his administration to pave the way for this reclamation project.” According to Gendo, Benoa Bay is an estuary for five big rivers. If 50 percent of the water in the bay turns to land, the surroundings could be in danger. The mouth leading from the bay to the open sea is a narrow one. Gendo believes that after several hours of rainfall, the sea could rise to dangerous levels. “Mangrove trees and coral reefs in the area are also in danger,” he adds. (May 2nd 2016)

Ketut added. He is expected to be charged with threatening, forcing, persuading or deceiving children to perform a lewd act - an offence that carries a maximum of 15 years in prison. (May 2nd 2016) Former MMA Fighter Amokrane Sabet Shot Dead by Police in Bali A French citizen, who had become notorious for violent and unruly behavior in recent years, was shot dead in Badung district, Bali, early on Monday (02/05) after he allegedly killed a police officer that was attempting to arrest him. Bali Police chief Insp. Gen. Sugeng Priyanto said the incident occurred when officers were about to take the 49-year-old Amokrane “Kiane” Sabet into custody after he repeatedly failed to show up for questioning related to an assault case. The Algerian-born former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter allegedly resisted arrest and stabbed one of the officers eight times, fatally wounding him. “One of our officers was killed after the French national stabbed him with a knife. We shot him dead after he ignored our warning shots,” Sugeng told reporters, as quoted by Tribunnews. Sabet died after sustaining several bullet wounds, including at least one to the head. Police were investigating an assault case against Sabet following complaints from several people in the Berawa, Seminyak and Kuta areas that he allegedly refused to pay for meals at restaurants, threatened local residents and drove recklessly. Since moving to Berawa in 2013, Sabet became involved in controversy when he allegedly tried to “borrow” another man’s wife. He reportedly also got involved in a fight with traditional Balinese security guards, or Pecalang. (May 3rd 2016)

This Sporting Life TRIATHLON NEWS Herbalife Bali International Triathlon moves to Sanur

AFL NEWS AFL Bali Masters June 10-11,2016

Bali Triathlon moves to Sanur. The 9th Bali International Triathlon returns on August 14, 2016.This year titled “the Triathlon for the Soul” will take place on a new course, described by the organisers as “steeped in Balinese culture” starting and finishing in Sanur. The triathlon will now be part of the annual weeklong Sanur Village Festival showcasing Sanur’s various hotels and restaurants with a variety of cultural and athletic events. Following last year’s much discussed event the organisers further add “the new course changes will improve safety and the athlete experience. Sanur, the largest traditional village in Bali “ according to the triathlon organisers “ is less developed than Jimbaran Bay and will allow for full road closures and add in additional traditional Balinese cultural experiences”.

Following the huge success of the Bali Geckos 2015’s Aquarius AFL Bali Masters, the 2016’s edition is back and will be held on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 June at the home of AFL in Bali, the Canggu Club. This year there is a record 29 teams entered.

CRICKET NEWS Bali International Twenty 20 Cricket Cup May 28 – June 5 Its that time of the year when the Bali International Twenty20 Cricket Cup is played again. There are actually 18 games in total played over the period Saturday 28th May to Sunday 5th June. The games will all be played at Pica in Renon, Sanur and the pitch will be different this year with the procurement of a Flicx Pitch. The preparation of the pitch will be a bit different from previous years so it will be interesting to see how it performs and in particular to see if there is more bounce in the pitch. The preparation of it may have a big bearing on how it plays for the week long Cup. Similar to last year the structure of the teams with only one team of local Balinese players but each of the five teams from Australia will have three (3) local Balinese playing in their teams. Consequently there are more local players able to play at the same time. This also gives the Balinese the opportunity to play with and in a team of visiting players which should give them a better insight into how players from other cultures structure their teams and how they approach the game. It is hoped that this proves a good learning process for all of those who have this opportunity. Consequently the organisers believe that the visiting players will have a very good opportunity to help understand some more of the Balinese culture that they otherwise never have with them able to play with three local players in their team.

Last year’s winners of the tournament the Darwin Waratahs will be back. They beat a gallant Singapore Sharks team in last year’s final who are also returning to Bali. Regular visitors like Northern Warriors Colts from Perth, the Old Dogs from country WA, the South Coast Buccaneers from Batemans Bay in NSW, the Northern Warriors All Stars,the Melb/Dubai Dingoes.The Bali Geckos, formed in 1997, are the islands Australian Rules Football team and have been active in developing and introducing the game to local Indonesians, traveling foreigners and more recently have set up a junior academy to coach children the great game of AFL. Training is held on Thursdays at the Geckos Club, housed within the resplendent confines of The Canggu Club. Juniors run from 5 and the Seniors take the field at 6.
