I don’t have to tell anyone in the world that Balinese culture is unique. But there are some things that few foreignera experience even after living in Bali for many years. Today I had the honour of being asked by the family of my deceased gender wayang teachers from Banjar Dalem Pejaten to play gender on their cremation tower.

Not being from a wealthy family, both my teachers were cremated together even though their deaths were separated by around a year. To save on costs, both men were put in the same cremation tower that left from the family home to the graveyard around 500 meters away.

NEED

Even though I was stoked to be asked to play on the tower, I was also slightly apprehensive about how I was going to hang on as the tower rocked and rolled along the road. Not only was it going to sway as it was carried by 20 or so burly boys, but it would also be spun around three times at all intersections and then upon arrival at the graveyard. I was going to be playing with family member, Bagus “Dolir” who was also a member of the group that I’ve being playing with for the past four or so years. He told me “No need to worry as the gender would be tied on” – I hope we will be too. I wondered nervously. We were given some white clothing to put on over the top of our udeng headdresses and sarongs: I presume, to kind of purify us as we were close to the dead on their cremation tower, therefore closer to the gods. Then it was time to “jump on for the ride”. Lucky for me, a tower holder chap even thoughtfully showed me how to hold onto the side of the bamboo float should I feel like falling in between busily bashing out melodies on the bronze xylophone. Once the tower got moving it was a lot smoother than I expected. Only during more violent rotations did I need to lean inwards to balance myself and continue playing. Being separated by the tower in the middle, I couldn’t hear anything that Bagus was playing (or even if he was playing at all) and just in front of us was a lively baleganjur marching gamelan, so basically, we could play anything we wanted and it wouldn’t matter. It was the symbolism that was important as well as the fact that gender wayang music is one type of gamelan refined enough to transport the soul to a “good place”, so it is an optional extra to the cremation tower should the family wish to include it. One piece that all gender wayang players are supposed to play when on the tower is called Cangak Merangang, so I made sure I played at least the beginning of that number before the tower came to its final resting place to release the bodies for their final rituals and family viewing before being cremated.

Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review The Jewel in The Crown! Som Chai was built to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Sarong Group. It was designed to have a large formal dining room at the rear for evenings with an equally large casual area at the front for casual all day dining extending into the late hours. Will Meyrick has permanently left his mark on the Bali dining scene and his incredible journey has been at the forefront of what has become a culinary master class, as the Bali food scene attracts world wide acclaim.

I have followed Meyrick’s journey from his days at Sydney’s Longrain where his fascination with the intricacies of Thai cuisine began when working with Martin Boetz, the star apprentice of Australian guru Thai chef David Thompson, then on his own at Jimmy Liks. He arrived in Bali many years ago at Husk determined to cook Thai, Thai! This was followed by the sensational Blossom and then at his own Sarong by which time he had developed his own personal style and a perfection of ‘balancing the flavours’ of the exotic Thai cuisine, a feat not mastered by many. Sarong also received world wide acclaim and today still needs a reservation for a table virtually any night of the year.

This dish obviously has, as with many others in the Thai cuisine, originated in China, came with the immigrants from there and then adapted to Thai tastes over time. The highlight of this little group is a dish from the 19th century, Tom Kar Pet, shredded duck cooked in a broth of light coconut cream and young galangal. Perhaps it has some connection to the Chinese as well, as it is served with a pile of steamed Mandarin pancakes [as used with Peking Duck] strips of juicy vegetables and a selection of leaves, all to be layered together on the pancake before it is rolled and dipped into an intense sauce of chilli, shallots and tamarind. What an incredible and unusual dish!

Restaurant

: Som Chai.

Address

: Jln. Raya Kerobokan,

The number of choices on the main menu is almost overwhelming. It includes simple traditional dishes such as Tod Mun Pla, small cakes of minced fish that have been pounded with red curry paste, lime leaf and coconut milk. Or a Chicken Sate, the meat having been marinated in coconut cream and curry powder. Perhaps one of the simplest dishes is Ma Hor, a caramelized pork mince combined with crushed peanuts and served with a juicy fruit, here it is on a small slab of pineapple. Ma Hor has always been David Thompson’s tasty starter but with the mince stuffed into mandarin segments.

Smoking Area

Salads are probably the most misunderstood item in Thai food, they have no connection with western dishes of the same name and the addition of such things as lettuce, tomato, etc usually shows the management’s lack of understanding of this cuisine, as seen all over Indonesia with Thai Beef Salad. Not at Som Chai of course and their Smoked Shredded Chicken Salad is a perfect example, combined as it is with green mango, banana blossom, shallots, Thai basil and chilli jam. The Thais have been using flowers in food for centuries, long before the current fad began in western restaurants.

The casual dining MamaSan followed and it shares Sarong’s popularity. The awe in which the Bali food scene is viewed by foodies world-wide owes a debt to Meyrick who has led from the front.

Other salads worth considering are the Prawn and Pomelo [palm heart, lemongrass, shallots, kencur and nahm jim], Air-dried pork, Som Tum [green papaya, apple eggplant, dried shrimp] or for the adventurous a spicy Chiang Mai Chicken Laap.

However it was still a surprise to many when Som Chai was announced as it would result in the group having four restaurants [including the latest, Tiger Palm which is still struggling for an identity] within a few kilometers of each other in Kerobokan.

Stir Fries are everyday food in Thailand, Krao Pao being the most popular an any time dish, minced meat and Holy Basil with a fried egg on top, In Thailand it is commonly done with pork here it is with minced chicken. Other options are a Thai Omelette, again different from what you expect from the western name [minced chicken, dried shrimp, banana blossom, sweet radish, garlic chives and a sweet tamarind sauce], Crispy Salted Pork, or the exotic Pad Cha, chicken and baby lobster with wild ginger, chilli, Holy basil. lime leaf and green peppercorns.

Som Chai has lived up the hype with a range of Thai dishes that have been researched from every corner of the country in Meyrick’s never-ending journey to remote villages and hill-tribe communities seeking out the incredible tastes of this exotic cuisine.

QUICK REVIEW

The menu is large, as is Meryrick’s norm. So much so that it makes dish selection difficult, perhaps a smaller one would be more sensible. It would certainly make things easier for the first-timer.

The Mains include wonderful curries, the ambrosial Massaman of Beef or Prawn Choo Chee, Gaeng Kee Lek [cured and smoked salted beef brisket with cinnamon, wild ginger and lime]. The many seafood options include Steamed Fish or Salt-baked Barramundi.

However at the front of the menu is a small section of Chef’s Specials, and they are gems. To begin there is Khanohm Gai Chaai, dumplings like you have never had before, spinach with garlic and chives wrapped in a coating that has included sticky rice flour, the dipping sauce is sweet soy.

A visit to Som Chai will be a tasting feast for all who can appreciate the complexities of Thai cuisine. However with the main dining room already closed [only used now for private functions] and a scarcity of diners whenever I have visited, I hope that the ‘jewel in the crown’ was not a step too far!

Charity Fundraising Dinner for Puspadi Foundation to Make a Structure, Come Rain or Shine, for Wheelchairs to be Built for The Disabled in Bali

NC/NV/U-12 Feb 20

Update Dapur Raja is Ubud’s latest newcomer and no it is not

yet another International café! This time a true traditional special, worthy of its place. The Rijsttafel was an invention of the colonial Dutch to showcase the varied tastes of Indonesia. At Dapur Raja this concept is used to showcase the varied tastes of Bali, so a pure Balinese ‘rice table’.

Located in the lower section of Jln. Goutomo [the Taksu end just before Jln. Dewi Sita, directly opposite from The Golden Monkey]. Dapur Raja only serves a Balinese Rijsttafel in a very traditional ‘Royal’ setting. There are two menus to select from, both consisting of 11 small individual courses. Four dishes appear on both the Vegetarian and the Non-Vegetarian menus; Sop Kelor, moringa soup with grilled coconut, and the Nasi Kuning Bira, turmeric rice with vegetables, as well as the two desserts. Other NV dishes include Tempe & Tahu Manis [tofu and soya bean in sweet soy], Ikan Pepes [steamed minced fish in banana leaf], Iga Babi [pork ribs], Babi Guling [suckling pig] and Bebek Betutu [smoked duck]. Finish with Bubur Injin [black rice pudding with coconut cream and jackfruit] and Dadar Gulung [pancakes filled with shredded coconut and palm sugar]. A meal fit for a Balinese king!

Fishbone Local is under the same management as

Mason, and found on the same road [Jln. Batu Bolong] in Canggu, just further down towards the beach. Not surprisingly it has the same open air design, almost like a high-ceilinged warehouse. The concept is to offer local seafood products but produced out of a modern kitchen rather than the local beach BBQ’s so popular in Bali. There is a price to pay of course but the end result makes it all worth while. Seafood is on almost every menu in Bali yet quality specialty seafood restaurants are rare, and the few that do exist usually source their product from everywhere in the world, both fresh catch and farmed. Not so Fishbone as they attempt to present purely local catch via the best kitchen techniques. Old favourites such as Fish & Chips are included on the menu [beer-battered of course, with tartare] as well as more modern offerings; Blue Swimmer Crab with linguine, Rare Seared Tuna Loin with chimichurri and lime, Steamed Grouper Fillets with mushroom, soy and burnt cabbage and Black Cod cooked over embers with chilli paste and kaffir lime. As at Mason there are many small plates as well, good for snacking and sipping; Prawn Toast with chilli and sesame and the wild Lobster and Chicken Dumplings with black vinegar and chilli.

Balkan Grill is on Jln Kunti, Seminyak, and whilst it does have a Meat Platter [for two] the menu is mostly more International than you would expect. No Cevapcici [Balkan sausages] etc. Rather Schnitzels, Greek Moussaka, Goulash, Ribs etc. Though they do also serve the Serbian Sarma [stuffed cabbage]. Turkish Pide and Pizzas are also available, an all-round International menu.

Simply Social is the latest weird-name restaurant to open in Bali, and yet another International café style one with supposedly ‘something for everyone’ [a new ones seems to open almost every week in Ubud, as they also do in Canggu]. Located on the main drag, Raya Ubud, it is a large open

space just along from the market. Breakfast from 7.00 [all the usual egg options plus Dragon Bowls, Chia Puddings and a more interesting Braised Chorizo, a sliced chorizo with tomato and mushroom, served with baked chive and cheddar eggs, coriander, chilli, salsa and shallots]. During the day a whole range of soups [chilled watermelon and almond gazpacho], snacks, salads [crispy pork and prawn], sandwiches [smoked chicken and cheese], local rice and noodle dishes, and a hotpotch from the world; tandoori, burgers, laksa, steaks and curries.

Warung Ping Pink has replaced Liebeling on Jln. Kunti II, Seminyak. This new café offers traditional local food with a smattering of international dishes. The location is a bit out of the way but is a relaxing setting with rice paddi views, almost rare these days. Samik is new on Raya Seminyak [corner of Jln. Plawa]. It has replaced the café which had possibly the worst name in Bali, Road Kill. It is self-styled as an Eating House and Bar, and very Mod Oz cafes style with a touch of MidEast, the Mediterranean and North Africa and an Aussie chef. Zucchini Flowers stuffed with smoked feta, pistachio pesto and black garlic, The Falafel Wrap consists of lettuce, cauliflower, tomato and hummus, the Burgers include a Quinoa Burger. Off the charcoal grill are many options; seafood, lamb, steak, chicken. There is a touch of OZ with their Spiced Beef Meat Balls, otherwise known as Rissoles in Australia. Top of the range is the slow cooked [overnight] Lamb Roast that is served with pickled cabbage, semi-dried tomatoes and a herbed cucumber yoghurt. It is just enough different from the rest to make it interesting!

Bali House & Home

The Bali Wildlife Rescue Centre is not a Petting Zoo The people at Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF) are busy bees and beavers. Besides the conservation work they do with Bali Starlings at Nusa Penida and other release sites around Bali, and the reforestation efforts at Tanjung Puting national park in Central Kalimantan, they are also in the business of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming endangered wildlife most of which are the victims of illegal poaching, trading and trafficking. Most of these animals are confiscated by Forestry Department officials from markets, private homes or businesses where they have been kept as pets or for entertainment. Some of the animals are also handed over to the Rescue centre voluntarily by the public.

Under the leadership of Drh. I. Gede Nyoman Bayu Wirayudha, a Balinese veterinarian, founder and CEO of FNPF, this group of dedicated professionals, staff and volunteers, are running the Bali Wildlife Rescue Centre (BWRC) on the outskirts of Tabanan City. This is an existing facility previously managed by another local NGO which they took over on request of the Australian Humane Society International in 2011. Since then they have streamlined the bloated operation and focused entirely on the care and rehabilitation of the animals under their care. The BRWC site is an attractive, spacious and verdant area of 33 are which accommodates a menagerie of various birds and animals. Roomy cages and aviaries house almost 20 species of assorted birds like parrots, cockatoos, Brahminy kites, hornbills, peacocks, a White Bellied Sea Eagle, and starlings, both the gorgeous white and blue spotted Bali Starlings and the very rare Black Wing Starling which has an uncanny ability to mimic the human voice. Other enclosures lodge primates and mammals: Sunbear, bear cat, leaf monkey, a few pig tailed macaques, and a lone crocodile that came from a park called Penyu Dewata at Padang Galak. The sunbear has been there for 3 years and is difficult to release because the Centre is still looking for a suitable home for him. The government restricts the available spaces in sanctuaries and national parks in Kalimantan and Sumatra- which is his natural habitat - due to saturation and overpopulation but does nothing to offer other solutions. In fact, they decreed that any rehabilitation of rescued wildlife must be done outside the boundaries of the national parks which makes it very difficult for NGOs like FNPF as it requires a huge investment to recreate a suitable habitat to rehabilitate a singular animal like the Sun bear. When an animal is deemed rehabilitated, it can be released in the parks. However, as a result of massive deforestation in

Indonesia for the benefit of palm oil plantations, mining and other commercial interests, there simply is not enough wild space available to create sanctuaries and habitats to accommodate the rescued wildlife. Crocodiles are no longer native, nor welcome to Bali – the last one was spotted and killed in the 1950s - and must be released elsewhere, which is an expensive undertaking. National parks and wildlife sanctuaries are not exactly rife in Indonesia so the options are limited. Only some sites in Sumatra, Sulawesi, Papua and Borneo are able to receive rehabilitated wildlife and then only on a restricted basis. Due to its small size, overpopulation and saturation of tourists, Bali has practically no available release sites for animals other than certain birds. A lot of the animal boarders at BWRC are difficult to release even in good available habitats. Some because suitable habitats are already overpopulated; others due to the danger posed by rabies, and many others because they have become too tame as pets and could no longer survive in the wild. Parrots for instance can only be released in areas where they are native to the area and then only when the available habitat can support them. Cockatoos are difficult to rehome because a lot of them have never learned to fly, having been chained to perches or confined to cramped cages from a young age. A lot of the rescued birds and animals are too old or injured for rehabilitation and will stay at the centre as permanent house guests for the rest of their lives. The caretakers at the Bali Wildlife Rescue Centre try very hard to rehabilitate some of the birds, even teaching them how to fly and forage for food. Other wildlife is carefully prepared for release and transfer to new homes or their place of origin. Releasing rehabilitated wildlife in is not a simple matter. Some animals, especially primates and mammals, have to be released far from human habitation as they are attracted to human food and company. Feeding, transport and rehousing costs are a big expense factor for the Wildlife Centre. Monthly feeding costs for a Sunbear run up to IDR 2.500.000 and can vary due to the price of honey, a mainstay in its diet. On the other hand, a Starling will only pick IDR 150.000 from your pocket. Crocodiles eat sparingly for about IDR 500.000 a month when compared to a pigtailed macaque whose monthly food bill is IDR 800.000. All the others fall somewhere in between. In order to transport rehabilitated wildlife to a new territory special cages or enclosures are needed. Some have to be custom built to accommodate animals like crocodiles. Last year the Centre was able with help from JAAN (Jakarta Animal Aid Network) to transport 6 crocodiles from BWRC along with 8 crocodiles from the Forestry Department facility in specially constructed cages to a sanctuary in Sumatra at a grand cost of IDR 140 million which included cages, transport, labour, medical supplies and sundry provisions. Crocodiles require big strong cages at IDR 4 million per cage. Bird cages cost less; a hornbill transport for instance costs about IDR 1.7 million per bird. Smaller birds can travel in simple boxes.

A word about helping the rescue work of FNPF by buying that cute baby monkey at the local bird market: DON’T. Your heart may push you to give that baby a better life than being chained up in a cage day after day, but your good intentions are backfiring the moment you do this because it just encourages that trader to replace that monkey with another, thereby perpetuating the illegal poaching and trafficking of defenceless animals. If no-one buys the captured monkeys the trader will cease selling them, thereby sparing the life of countless primate mothers who are getting killed so poachers can steal their babies for the illegal wildlife market.

As we know, animal rights law are practically non-existent in Indonesia and animal protection laws are very weakly enforced. Conservation work is difficult due to entrenched corruption where only big money will grease the wheels. The bureaucratic processes and paperwork are horrendous and stifling due to the many government agencies involved, especially for inter-island transfers and resettlements. It takes months to arrange a resettlement and reams of paperwork. The fastest response the Centre has ever recorded on a request for transfer was 2weeks and that was just an acknowledgment of their request. Most of the time, says Drh. Bayu, it takes 2 months to get an answer. The actual process of transfer can sometimes take a year or more. In a worst case it took 7 years before a Grey Headed Fish Eagle could be lifted to his new home. The Foster Programme and other ways to support the work of the Bali Wildlife Resue Centre. The centre receives no government funding and relies solely on the support of volunteers and donors. In order to mitigate the high costs of food and transport Drh. Bayu has created an adoption plan whereby animal lovers can “adopt” one of the animals at the centre and assume the cost of its room and board. Optionally you can also shoulder the cost of resettling the animal in sanctuaries and natural parks in Indonesia. Besides the adoption programme, the Centre’s wishlist as seen on their website, contains various items you could donate or finance. Or you could help in the making of bigger enclosures or enhance the natural environment of the site. Outright donations are always welcome of course and you can easily do that through their website via Paypal of direct bank transfer. Local donors should remember that direct bank transfers are always preferable as Paypal will dink the centre for 7% of the donated amount. Another way to support the centre is by volunteering to help the staff take care of the animals, and learning about animal conservation in the process. The volunteer programme can accommodate a maximum of 7 volunteers at a time. Most volunteers come from outside Bali and stay at the site where there is dormitory style accommodation. Due to training time and familiarisation with the animals, one week is the minimum. No special skills or animal care experiences are necessary. However, if you have a particular skill or talent, the Centre will be very happy about that. If you are an avid gardener you can come and help with groundscaping and maintenance. The volunteer fee of USD 150 per week includes accommodation and contributes to the running costs of the centre and supports the projects they work on. You can also volunteer at any of the other FNPF sites as the money received from the volunteer programme helps to cover the costs of the many FNPF activities that do not get sufficient funding through donor contributions. Check out https://www.fnpf.org/get-involved/volunteer-in-indonesia. If you just want to visit the Centre to see what it’s all about, you are welcome to do that on weekends. It’s by appointment only so call or contact Drh. Bayu on WA at 0811-398-052 and arrange for a fun filled encounter with the boarders at Bali Wildlife Rescue Centre. https://www.fnpf.org/what-we-do/volunteer-in-willdifeanimal-rescue-centre-bali

Bali House & Home

Air Conditioner Update It has been very hot recently, far hotter than most of we long term Bali residents can remember. Air conditioners are working harder than ever. Many of us are finding our air conditioners are breaking down more than they used to, why is this?

common problem we are finding in compressor motors, that have to work very hard, are burning out. 2. Low voltage plays havoc with electronic circuit boards and the sensors that operate them which can become confused or even burn out.

As far as we can tell there are two reasons. 1. Quality The first is that the quality of many air conditioners is not what it used to be. There was a time, only 3 or 4 years ago, when we could recommend air conditioners that were more reliable or operated more effectively than others however, as more and more air conditioners are being made in China, very often in the same huge factories, the standard appears to have levelled out between the different brands. Cynics say that, to keep selling new products, manufacturers build in obsolescence, products are designed to breakdown after a certain length of time. This may well be the case with air conditioners. There is also a tendency for manufacturers to continually shave off small amounts in manufacturing costs and an example of this is to slightly reduce the thickness of copper used in the heat exchanger pipes, when you make millions of machines each year this can save a lot of money but does increase the likelihood of corrosion and leakage. Some brands are still made outside China most notably Daikin of which ones made in Thailand are the most popular followed by those made in Malaysia.

Modern air conditioners have ever increasingly complex electronic controls and this is particularly the case with inverter air conditioners that are continually monitoring temperatures and adjusting the speed of the compressor to alter the rate of cooling. With erratic electrical supply we are finding many people are avoiding inverter air conditioners and going back to standard models - more simple, more rugged. Voltage Regulators (Stabiliser or Stavolt) If you have expensive modern air conditioners, especially inverter air conditioners, it is a good idea to install a voltage regulator. A standard voltage regulator can bring voltages as low as 140 volts or as high as 240 volts back to the 220 volts our appliances need. This will cover most areas of Bali but some areas (notably Ubud and Jimbaran) have higher voltage fluctuations and you will need a higher capacity voltage regulator that can cope with voltages as low as 110 volts. It is important to choose a good quality voltage regulator that will cut off the power to protect your equipment if the voltage drops too much. You will find that the small voltage regulators you buy for computers, usually less than 2 KVA (2,000 watts), will not cut the power off and your equipment could be damaged.

2. Unstable Power The second is the reliability of the PLN power supply. While we don’t get the blackouts we used to get, it is common to get voltage drops sometimes as low as 130 volts. Voltage drops have two noticeable effects on air conditioners: 1. Air conditioners have electric motors in the indoor unit to drive the fan and in the outdoor unit to drive the compressor. Electric motors need a certain amount of power to run and so, if the voltage drops the electric current increases and higher currents create more heat. A

There is another option however, LPG gases formulated as refrigerants. Pertamina markets one under the name Musicool. These work very well and are said to reduce the amount of power required to compress the gas resulting in savings in electricity and less wear and tear on the air conditioner compressor. They do, however, have one serious drawback, unlike more commonly used air conditioner refrigerants, LPG refrigerants are highly flammable. With this danger in kind it is important that LPG refrigerants are installed by people who know what they are doing, do not let that satay wafter from down the road anywhere near your precious air conditioners. Recommendations • • • • • •

Buy a brand of air conditioner with a good reputation, do your research and identify the brands that are being recommended and why. Ask about the guarantee, this will tell you which manufacturers have confidence in their products. Avoid air conditioners with complex electronic controls, this includes inverter air conditioners. Make sure you are not using R12 or R22 refrigerant. Protect the electronic circuits and compressor by installing a voltage regulator to correct voltage fluctuations in the power grid, this is especially important in known problem areas which include Ubud, Jimbaran, Karangasem and Singaraja. Keep your air conditioners well maintained and cleaned. Cleaning the heat transfer fins in both the indoor and outdoor units not only reduces operating costs, it keeps the air conditioner operating efficiently which reduced wear and tear on the compressor.

You can find more information about air conditioners here https://www.mrfixitbali.com/air-conditioning/acservice-136.html

You can read more about voltage regulators here: https:// www.mrfixitbali.com/electrical/electrical-equipment/ electricity-voltage-regulators-114.html Refrigerants Many of the refrigerant gases our air conditioners used to use are now obsolete due to the damage they do to the ozone layer. The very destructive R12 was totally banned long ago and 2020 is the target for the progressive removal of R22 from the market to be complete. So, from this year, R22 and even the very destructive R12 are totally banned. Most air conditioners these days have standardised on refrigerants R32 and R410A.

R O TA R Y NEWS Woh!! 2020! 2019 seems to have gone very quickly, a very full year for us, with new and ongoing projects. As I have written in the past, we can only initiate projects that we can fund. Hence the fees we pay, fund raisers and donations are what enable us to complete projects – all of which are to benefit local communities. All our projects are sustainable and ongoing and regularly monitored. Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset has 3 main projects at present and I am sure after you read what they are and what they will achieve you will agree and maybe be motivated to join us!!! PROJECT 1. Taro Waste Management Scheme – Help the Super hero of Trash!

Wayan is the superhero- he teaches school children to compost, he teaches them to pick up refuse, he teaches them to recycle plastic for money to buy their school supplies. Taro is a rural community where many parents cannot afford to send their children to school unless the children have uniforms, shoes, books, stationery, replaced every school year. So Wyan is teaching the children to collect and sell plastic, the money he keeps, and saves it in the bank and prior to school restarting the children/ parents can purchase what they require. He is also teaching them to understand why plastics are harmful to the environment. Now Wyan needs a machine to chop the organic waste into small particles to decrease the time from 6 months to 6 weeks, to produce compost. By producing more compost quicker they can serve many more consumers. The machine will also help process the residue of plastic into useful materials. The machine – Kubota RD 85 DI – N costs US$ 1,786.29 + US$331.65 shipping from Java to Bali. A “GoFundMe” account was set up to make this happen and as of October 2019, in less than 2 months 66% of the total needed was raised, with donations coming in world wide. If you would like to read more/donate /see pictures please go to : www.gofundme/f/help-the-trash-hero. Initially RCBUS donated 100 rubbish bins and liners to Wayan to get his project started. PROJECT 2. Water Projects. The water projects commenced in 2005 and to date 17

Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset. Happy New Year To All Readers! have been completed. They were initiated when some Rotary members witnessed the awful lack of water supply/ sanitation/ health facilities/ education in the North East of Bali in the mountainous areas. Women were carrying drinking water from coastal wells every day; 1 trip down could take 2-4 hours as they lived high up in the mountains, no roads, no transport. They were living in shacks made of bamboo and the water they carried was only for drinking and cooking, NOT for bathing, laundry, crops or livestock. Hence the high incidence of disease. The land is also very dry, no rain almost 8 months of the year so only corn will grow. NO rice, in a country that eats rice 3 times a day! Sometimes if they grow pumpkins or peanuts, they take them down to coastal villages to barter for fish. Over 15,000 people live in these mountainous areas, where the government only counts families not people. So with all this information the first steps were to try and solve the water problems. The local kelapa desa( village elders) were involved in the planning and to which areas to install the water tanks etc. The first 6 water installations were completed in 2009 and helped more than 3,000 people, 564 families. Most of the work was in the Amed area in Desa Bunutan and was financed jointly with Rotary Grants, Rotary International, and Rotary clubs in USA, Bali and India, with a total of US$ 21,500 to install the gravity fed systems, which are still working to date. The local communities are fully involved providing the labour- can you imagine every single piece of equipment has to be carried up the mountains! So now to our current water project, at Kendampel village in the mountains north of Mt Agung. This village has 514 families = 2105 people and for years they have been struggling with water because of their location and no water springs, only water from rain, when it rains! The Government built a reservoir in 2103 and also the pipes so groups of families could access the water. However 87 families, over 300 people, DO NOT get access to the water. The cost of providing water tanks, pipes, equipment etc. is approximately US$ 7,857. We are fund raising and also hoping that Rotary Club Alfredton in Australia may partner us in this project and we can complete by November 2020. Just sit for a moment and think what it would be like to have NO WATER all your life? Its incomprehensible, yes? Yet these Balinese people for generations have never had water, on supply for daily use…..

The program commenced on 28th October 2019 with 4 machines and 18 women signing up. Training is every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but as only 4 machines the women had to be rotated. The program is held at Jl. Tukad Lebah No8, Banjar Lebah Bedulu, Blahbatuh, Gianyar. Our goal is to create a sustainable program for 10 women annually and if possible to source second hand or donated machines. Then on December 18th 2019 a Rotarian from RC Seaford, Adelaide, Australia sponsored us 2 sewing machines and an overlocker. She was in Bali on holiday , browsing for RC clubs and read about our “Sewing For Living” program and decided to donate the machines to us! What a boost for our project and the women eager to learn.

Hopefully I have given you an inside to some of the work Rotary clubs do?! So when you hear of Rotary fundraisers please remember where every rupiah goes. Back into the communities who open their arms and welcome us to their island home.

PROJECT 3. “Sewing For Living” This project was initiated by our President Kartika Dewi, who felt there was a need to empower and encourage Balinese women to take part in a program that would enable them to work from home and earn money. Currently Balinese women have many duties that prevent them from leaving their homes and earning- taking care of children and family, shopping, cooking, cleaning, helping in the community, ceremonial duties and assisting in the temples. They have no rights of their own and if left alone – separated, divorced, widowed, have no way of making a living. Companies will not employ them as they frequently have home duties to take care of. RCBUS has set up a program to give women the opportunity to train that will allow them to work at home , in between all other duties, thereby increasing their self-esteem and increasing their families financial stability. Many garment factories in Bali have signs advertising for remote workers. Once this was established the planning took place, costing for machines, equipment , teachers, and initially US$2,000 was a start-up cost.

Body & Spirit

BOOMER CORNER Welcome To My Paradise

Thousands of foreigners come to Bali on holiday the first time and fall in love with the magical “island of the gods” and return, often many times. The wheels in your head begin to spin “what can I do to live here?” Many older people want to retire here or others look at Bali as an investment. The thought of owning property here becomes a dream. I wanted to know how to make this dream possible so I went to Ray While property office and consulted with Bayu. I explained what information I wanted. He looked baffled and then blowing out a long breath, he said, “That’s a very long answer.” The bottom line is a foreigner isn’t allowed to own property in Indonesia. However since 1996 it is allowed for foreigners to lease properties for periods of 25 or 30 years with extensions for another 25 or 30 years, (depending on what the conditions are in the lease contract). But there are other legal ways to obtain property. OPTION 1 – FREEHOLD Many foreigners have been led to believe that Freehold means they own the property. Not true. You must have an Indonesian citizen as a nominee. The nominee should be someone that you trust. The land title is in their name. This can work well but if there’s a falling out with your nominee you could lose everything. A legal contract must be drawn up by a notary between the parties. So first you have to choose in what way you want to purchase a property, lease or freehold. Many times however, this choice is already made for you by the way the seller is offering his property on the market. Sellers can offer their properties with a freehold title or with a lease contract. This means that if you want to purchase a property with a freehold title that you will need an Indonesian citizen as a so called “nominee”. In the land certificate, this Indonesian citizen will be mentioned as the legal owner. To protect your interests as a buyer you will have to make an agreement with this nominee at a notary’s office. If you are interested to buy a property with a freehold title it is recommended that you already have a relationship with your Indonesian nominee, although in many cases the nominee of the seller can also be your nominee if this person agrees to act as your nominee. But again in all cases the agreement should to be settled with the notary to make it a binding official agreement. The notary can be chosen by the buyer and the notary fee may

vary from 1% up to 2% of the sales price, and is negotiable in some cases. The sales and purchase agreement is to be drawn up by the notary in Indonesian language, or else it is not binding. One of the duties of the notary is to conduct a “due diligence”. The notary makes sure that the property is accessible, free of mortgage and most important the property is provided with a land certificate, building license and proof of payments of several taxes. Between the buyer and the Indonesian nominee will have to be an agreement called the security documents, to protect you and also the nominee. The buyer declares that he/she gives the nominee a loan (mortgage) with the objective to buy the mentioned property; this loan is exclusively made to buy this particular property. The nominee declares that he receives this amount of money to buy this particular property. Also a power of attorney (surat kuasa) is drawn up, so you as a buyer, have the full right to do with the property what you like; for example selling or renting it out. Also there will be conditions that you are free to renovate/improve the house without needing to ask permission to the nominee. Option 2 – LEASE HOLD The lease contract has to be drawn up officially by a notary to protect the interests of the lessee (you) and the lessor (landlord). In this lease contract the period has to be defined and the sum of money to be paid by the lessee to the lessor for this period. As soon as the period has expired the property falls back in the hands of the landlord/owner of the property. It is recommended that one of the conditions in the lease contract is about the extension possibilities, and the price of the extension. If the lease contract has been drawn up by a notary, this agreement is legal . To obtain full legal protection it is recommended that the lease contract is drawn up in the official Indonesian language (to be legally binding) and another one in English to help prevent misunderstandings between parties. OPTION 3 - HAK PAKAI….”THE RIGHT OF USE” The Indonesian government realized that many foreign investors weren’t very comfortable with freehold and lease hold options of investing in property. They came up a way for foreigners to legally protect their property and interests in Indonesia. Thus the creation of “Hak Pakai” meaning “the right of use.”

C/He/G-9 Oct. 19

This is similar in many ways to lease hold, with the difference being there is no landlord/landowner anymore with the title of ownership set by the government with the buyer making an agreement with the government. This is all arranged by the notary with many foreigners seeing this as the only legal and safe way to protect their property and investments. The Hak Pakai will be 25 years with guaranteed extensions up to the maximum of 90 years. You must have a KITAS to be eligible. You don’t need a nominee. The property is yours. You are allowed to pass the property down to your children. However, whoever inherits the property must live in Indonesia. If not, the property must be sold or the government takes it. BUILDING YOUR OWN VILLA/HOUSE IN BALI: If you buy land to build your own villa, again some matters have to be taken care of, in which you need the legal help of a notary. If the objective is to build a villa on this plot of land the notary has to check at the land office (Kantor Pertanahan) if this is allowed. In other words if the land applies correctly to the zoning law. The land has to have the aspect of “residential” so an application for a building permit is possible. This is part of the Due Diligence is critical and you may need to make this clear to the notary. You are of course free to use the land as agriculture land in that case the land can stay with the zoning title “pertanian”. If the land is zoned “greenbelt” ( jalur hijau) then you are not allowed to build on that land. If the land meets up to all the legal conditions for building, you can apply for a building permit, called an “IMB”. This can be a lengthy process.

Beauty & Health A Gift Of Love It’s that time of year again; February 14, Valentine’s Day. A day for romance, a day to express your love for your partner and remember that romance isn’t dead. Last year, Amazon Studios and the New York Times came out with a TV series called Modern Love. It was refreshing to see love stories on TV rather than the usual violence, crime, drama or silly comedies. Love is still alive.

“Yes. When two bodies are in close contact, their energies mix. It’s give and take,” I explained. “This is why I love massage so much and I’m happy that you understand why it’s so important for our health and wellbeing. This is my gift to you.”

After changing out of swimwear and donning a robe, its rest time with some slices of watermelon and cucumber water. Afterwards we were escorted to the upper level for a Balinese massage. In a spacious couple’s room that was chicly furnished, we were guided to sit in front of the foot washing station for a short foot massage.

I’m a romantic at heart; I love happy endings. After years of searching for my ideal partner, I’m happy to be able to celebrate this special day and express my love for him by indulging in one of my favourite pleasures of spending time in a beautiful spa. My gift to my lover. CLASSIC LOVE Because he is relatively new to Bali, I wanted him to experience royal Indonesian pampering - the “Mandi Lulur”. This signature treatment involves a Balinese full body massage, an exfoliating body scrub, followed by a yogurt cleanse and finally, a warm flower bath. There’s no better place to enjoy this than at Bali’s first day spa, Bodyworks. A pioneer in 1994, Bodyworks was the first place to get massages and traditional body treatments. Since then, it has expanded and remains a place of beauty, serenity, and high quality treatments.

My partner and I then laid on oval shaped massage beds and were covered with turquoise sheets. The therapists had been previously informed on the areas of our bodies that needed attention. The massages started with some palm pressure over the legs and back. Then the sheets slid down, exposing our backs for a thorough back massage. Bodyworks remains an icon in the Bali spa industry offering a variety of massages, hair treatments, nail care, facials and waxing. They use products of quality with staff wearing traditional sarongs and kebayas, who are superb in their gracious service to their guests. This is a spa to return to many times. Bodyworks, Jl. Kayu Jati No 2, Petitenget. Telp : 361-733317 / 361-735058. Whatsapp : 62-81917078965. Website : www.bodyworksbali.com

Entering Bodyworks with my partner, he was impressed with how beautiful it was. The spa boasts 18 spacious treatment rooms decorated in sparkling colours of turquoise and greens dotted around a lush open courtyard. It was also amazing to see how busy it was during our time there. After a short wait, we were escorted to the green room, which is by far the most beautiful couple’s room, featuring a two-meter long bathtub. Our lovely therapists instructed us to undress and lie face down on the beds which are placed on elevated platforms.

MODERN LOVE For a modern twist on romance at the spa we went to Acqua Perla Spa located in Double-Six Luxury Hotel - Seminyak. This chic and spacious two-story spa offers the Detox and Soul Body Balance, 150 minutes for couples. Taking the elevator to the second floor from the lobby’s ground floor, we entered the beautiful spa and were offered a cold welcome ginger and cinnamon tea as the receptionist gave an introduction about the treatment that we would be having and let us choose our preferred massage oils. We were then escorted to the locker rooms to change into swimwear for the first part of the treatment; the Sensorial Hydro Trail.

After the massage, my partner had chosen to have his chakras balanced with stones and I was taken to the recovery room and shown the large cocoon-shaped resonance chamber to balance my chakras. I was to lie down, put on head phones and watch the screen by my feet with black and white images of a couple floating. Above me were 7 coloured lights which came on in a sequence to balance the chakras. Meanwhile oxygen mist filled the chamber. 17 minutes of pure relaxation.

Climbing out of the chamber I found a plate of hot ginger tea and cookies waiting for me to enjoy overlooking the ocean. Soon my partner joined me to discuss how much we enjoyed the treatment. We felt refreshed and relaxed. You can choose traditional treatments or modern to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one. Both spas are perfect places to spend time with your beloved. Acqua Perla Spa Double Six Hotel, No.66, Double Six Beach, Seminyak. Telp : 0361-8499189. E-mail : reservation@acquaperlaspa.com Website : www.acquaperlaspa.com.

The massages were performed with careful expertise, allowing me to relax and surrender to my therapist’s caring touch, melting all tension away from my muscles. I especially enjoyed the lulur body scrub, a Javanese granular paste made of turmeric, sandalwood, cinnamon, ground nuts and rice that left my skin feeling silky smooth. The cool yogurt following this was chilly but refreshing. As I slid into the fragrant warm bath with floating rose petals, I watched my partner’s massage come to an end. As he entered the bath his face was radiant and relaxed. “That was the best massage I’ve ever had,” he said with a smile. “She massaged every muscle in my body with such love and nurturing energy. It was very profound. Do you understand what I mean?” he asked earnestly. “I was able to surrender my body and be completely relaxed. She massaged my face, head and my ears!”

shoulder water massage. This gets the knots out. Then wade through the tunnel of multiple water jets of mostly hot and some cold for four minutes, massaging your sides and back. The trail finished with a gentle rain shower. After this, a therapist is waiting to take you to the steam room and apply a body scrub which you can shower off yourself.

The trail consists of making your way through a tunnel starting by sitting in a chair with water jets to massage your lower back and the sides of the thighs and calves.

MONEY MATTERS It Never Rains But It Pours! When I wrote my last article two issues ago there was a real possibility of a major conflict arising in the Middle East following the assassination by the US of Iran’s second most powerful figure, Qasem Soleimani. There was potential for disruption to airline travel, the tourist industry and stock market volatility. Ironically these consequences have materialised, although not due to the Iran conflict but to an act of nature, the novel coronavirus that has swept through China and has now invaded many other countries. At the time of writing no cases have been reported in Indonesia, which is surprising as all the surrounding countries report cases and Indonesia receives many visitors from China through over 100 international entry points. I would be very surprised if cases have still not been reported by the publication date. Although the flow of visitors to Bali has been halted there is still a risk of the virus being around in view of the incubation period. Bali may be lucky and escape but it would be only sensible to assume at this point in time that there will be cases and to be ready to take reasonable precautions should cases occur. Other columns are better placed to give advice on specific precautions such as health but this column will stick to the financial aspects. Most businesses in Bali could take a hit; some already have. When tourists stay away it is an opportunity to take stock, refurbish or conduct any maintenance tasks that are hard to accomplish when there is an abundance of tourists. Just like following SARS, bombings, volcanic eruptions and other past disruptions the tourists will be back, and in greater numbers. Where investments are concerned and as I predicted four weeks ago we have already seen some limited flight to ‘safe haven’ currencies such as the Yen and Swiss Franc. The US Dollar can also be expected to strengthen against

emerging market currencies, particularly Asian ones. China’s economy will invariably take the biggest hit although their economy is many times stronger than it was during the SARS outbreak. Gold has also moved up a little. These trends could continue so long as the virus keeps spreading. Global stock markets have already fallen but not as yet to a great degree, apart from China. As with every crisis, stocks will bounce back so long term investors should not panic. The problem with trying to time the market is that when people run for the doors they invariably creep back way after the markets have staged most of their recovery. Nevertheless, for those who do not like roller-coasters there are ample opportunities to diversify into balanced funds or less volatile asset classes such as bonds. Fires, floods and tempests Apart from the latest epidemic many countries have had more than their fair share of disasters this and last year. Indonesia is no stranger to natural disasters. In Jakarta last year we had five months without rain that resulted in very high pollution levels. Finally some respite when the first rains fell but we had more than we could have wished for by the first week in January when flash floods led to more than 60 deaths. Australia had a disastrous drought also but far more serious as it led to weeks of unprecedented forest fires bringing death and destruction, including the death of an estimated billion animals. Again, the drought was interspersed with bouts of heavy rain and flooding. Why is the climate getting out of balance? Donald Trump would disagree but the vast majority of scientific opinion believes mankind has contributed significantly to global

warming and climate change and only mankind can rectify the situation. If you have investments or a private pension plan you can actually help influence the corporate world by avoiding investing in companies or funds that are not making a positive contribution to the sustainability of the planet. So-called ethical funds have been around for decades. Initially they were simply funds that avoided investing in companies that were involved in ‘undesirable’ activities such as alcohol, arms production or gambling. The funds were not terribly popular as they generally underperformed those that were involved in those activities. But today it is very different. ‘Ethical’ funds have evolved into funds that set high environmental, sustainable and governance (ESG) standards. And they no longer underperform the general markets. Several last year produced returns in excess of 25%. People are placing increasing value on companies and funds that are not just ethical but have sustainable policies and which are governed professionally and responsibly. Similarly, many shareholders are becoming activists and are forcing big companies to change their policies. Major oil companies are typical targets. The coal industry is under attack also. Governments are also under strong pressure to get their acts together or lose votes. At the end of the day, money talks. But there is still a lot of money to be made in the extraction industries and not all governments are prepared to make sacrifices that could reduce their income. The only thing that will change them is people power and voter pressure. That’s where everyone can play their part.

Local News Indonesia to waive overstay penalty for Chinese tourists amid travel ban Indonesia’s immigration office will not penalize Chinese tourists and workers who have overstayed their visas as a result of a recent travel ban, Coordinating Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto has said. The government has temporarily halted all flights coming to and from China as part of ongoing efforts to prevent a deadly new coronavirus from entering the archipelago. “We will allow them to overstay [their visas] for up to one month,” Airlangga told reporters on Tuesday. Airlangga said that in support of government policies related to immigration, the government would create hotlines for nine ministries, including the Transportation Ministry, Health Ministry and Manpower Ministry. It would also create hotlines for the Finance Ministry, especially in regards to matters related to its Customs and Excise Directorate General, as well as the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM). The Chinese consul general in Denpasar, Bali, Guo Haodong, previously said that China respected Indonesia’s travel ban, but around 5,000 people were at risk of being stranded on the island as a result. Besides suspending flights, Indonesia has also suspended visa-free and visa-on-arrival provisions for Chinese citizens, who made up the second-highest number of foreign tourist visits to Indonesia last year, behind only Malaysia. (The JakartaPost. 06/02/2020) Bali Police arrest 2 Bulgarians for alleged ATM skimming Police in Bali arrested two Bulgarian nationals for an alleged skimming attempt, after initially catching one of them removing a hidden camera at a local ATM machine in Canggu, leading authorities to investigate a possible skimming network from Bulgaria. “We delved into [the case] and a joint task force was able to apprehend another accomplice at a villa in Seminyak, who was working with the suspect. Both the suspects and evidence were taken to the office of Bali Police’s special crime unit,” Bambang Tertianto, vice director of the unit, said in a statement. Police seized a number of items, including several hidden cameras that had been modified to look like TapCash, which is an e-money card issued by Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI). According to the statement, authorities are now investigating whether a skimming network in Bulgaria could be at play here. The suspects, identified as Metodi Angelov Nikolov and Yanko Naydenov Borisov, have been individually charged with articles under Indonesia’s Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), which carries a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. Bali has quite a bad rap for ATM skimmers, many cases of which have involved Bulgarian nationals. Earlier this month, the Denpasar District Court sentenced 3 Bulgarians to seven months in prison each for attempting an ATM skimming scheme on the island.

With this we will promote Indonesian tourism to the world,” said Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investments, as quoted in a statement received by Coconuts Bali. The development of the Mandalika circuit is currently at about 40 percent progress, Luhut said, who mentioned that they expect completion of the construction by October. President Director of the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), Abdulbar M. Mansoer, said the option for pre-booking has been open since Jan. 20 and that around 3,000 people have so far signed up. “We are waiting for Dorna too, who will make an announcement later in August 2020. Price for the tickets will be adjusted to the financial capabilities of the people. What’s clear is that they will be given some extraordinary entertainment,” Abdulbar said, referring to the exclusive commercial and television rights holder for MotoGP, Dorna Sports. Abdulbar said that the Mandalika circuit has been designed with the hills and the sea as its backdrop, and also accounted for space for local residents to watch the race event live from the surrounding hills. It’s not yet clear if that viewpoint will be subject to some kind of fees or anything, though Abdulbar did mention that the tickets will be affordable. ITDC previously estimated that there could be around 100,000 spectators attending the race each day, with the grand prix scheduled for about four days from the qualification stage to the final race. For those of you who are interested, pre-booking is still open until Feb. 20 https://themandalikagp.com/pre-booking which grants you priority access when official tickets are available for purchase.

19 Thousands of Chinese tourists stranded in Bali as government halts flights to and from China Thousands of Chinese tourists are at risk of being stranded in Bali following the Indonesian government’s decision to halt flights to and from mainland China starting on Wednesday (05/2) at midnight. Most of them, however, are hoping to get a visa extension as the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread back home. “Most are worried to go back home for fear of getting infected with the coronavirus,” said Elsye Deliana, chairman of Bali Liang, a member of the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (Asita) that handles the Chinese market. Elsye said many of those Chinese tourists had requested a special policy from the Indonesian government to allow them to stay longer in Indonesia. Chinese Consul General in Denpasar Guo Haodong said China respects Indonesia’s decision to temporarily stop flights as an attempt to prevent the virus from coming into the country. He added, however, that around 5,000 people were at risk of being stranded in Bali as a result. Although they could leave Bali by catching flights via Indonesia’s neighboring countries, Guo admitted that some of the tourists hoped they could stay in Bali.

‘No reason to worry at all’: Bali officials say island ready to welcome foreign visitors despite global coronavirus outbreak The Bali provincial government has announced that despite the deadly global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the island remains ready to welcome and accommodate visitors from around the world. “Bali is indeed very safe, and ready to welcome foreign visitors. No reason to worry at all,” Bali Governor Wayan Koster was quoted as saying in an official statement, issued after a special meeting on the coronavirus outbreak yesterday. The statement also pointed to good monitoring and handling systems in the province, reaffirming that there is no reason to be concerned while visiting Bali. The system has reportedly been in place for years, notably after the 2003 SARS outbreak. In addition, Vice Governor Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati, or Cok Ace, said that Bali will also accommodate tourists, especially those from China, who plan to extend their stay on the island because of the unexpected circumstances. “We are open to tourists who want to extend their stay, especially Chinese citizens who may feel safer staying temporarily in Bali,” Cok Ace said, as quoted by state news agency Antara. “Immigration will also be flexible to Chinese tourists who overstay [their visa],” he continued.

Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak as a global health emergency. As of Tuesday morning, the death toll in China has exceeded 420, with the government reporting more than 20,000 confirmed cases. The virus has been detected in at least 25 other countries, though Indonesia has remained free of known infections thus far. According to Bali Tourism Agency, citing data provided by the province’s Health Agency, more than 73,000 tourists from China have arrived in Bali since January 13.

Indonesia closes doors, Bali tourism is expecting a Chinese short term downturn Chinese tourists have begun cancelling trips all across the Southeast Asian region with Thailand appearing to be worse hit so far by coronavirus outside of China with eight patients and 39 others quarantined preemptively. Bali has not sustained any confirmed cases of the virus so far, but Chinese tourists are now cancelling trips. With the outbreak of the corona virus in Wuhan, China, the Chinese government banned all travel to and from the city last Friday in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus. And also have banned tour groups from travelling abroad and domestically. According to a Bali Asita, Chinese section member, who didn’t want to be named, all travel agents in China have been prohibited to send Chinese citizens abroad, including to Bali. “Starting From January 27 and 28, 2020, there won’t be any Chinese tour groups visiting Bali,” the source said to balipost.com on Sunday. The source also said that the amount of the cancellations haven’t been calculated yet, but based on past data, the number of Chinese tourists who visit Bali during the period of Chinese New Year increased 2-3 times more than normal. “I am sure that all travel agents in Bali won’t be welcoming any guests starting from January 27,” the source added. Meanwhile yesterday, the Chairman of the Bali Tourism Board, IB Agung Partha Adnyana told reporters, “We have asked the hotels not to impose a cancelation fee on the Chinese travel agents and tourists, because after all this is a force majeure situation.” “We have explained that for Chinese travel agents who have already paid a down payment, they can use it for their next visit,” he added. In sympathy of the situation, the provincial government of Bali has postponed the Bali Kintamani Festival which is planned to be held on February 8th.

“This delay is within an unspecified time limit, but we are trying to run it this year, while waiting for the situation to become clearer,” said Head of Bali Tourism Office Putu Astawa. After repatriating 238 citizens from Wuhan and other cities in China, the Indonesian government declared on Sunday that it would ban all travel to and from China to prevent the spread of a deadly and highly contagious novel coronavirus. The ban, which took effect at 12 a.m. on Monday, prevents visitors who have stayed in China for 14 days or more from visiting or transiting in Indonesia. The government will suspend visa-free and visa on arrival provisions for Chinese citizens. “The government asks Indonesians not to take trips to mainland China for now,” said Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi, after a Cabinet meeting held by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in Jakarta on Sunday afternoon. Indonesia has followed the United States, the Philippines and Singapore in imposing travel restrictions to and from China amid rapid contagion of the virus worldwide. (The JakartaPost. 02/02/2020)

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Hearing Allah’s Call by Julian Millie In the city of Bandung in West Java province, sermons are not just reserved for mosques for Friday prayers. Muslim speakers who exhibit great virtuosity as performers are in great demand for all kinds of events, from celebratory life cycle celebrations to motivational sessions in companies and other organizations.

have less freedom than men to attend events. This phenomenon can be explained in large part by women’s awareness of their roles and responsibilities as mothers and educators, compelling them to attend pious routines more than men. The lack of restraint in women’s responses almost insures that the event will be lively. Well aware of the large proportion of women in the audience, a preacher often prioritizes women’s responses. A successful male preacher often feminizes his performance to accommodate his female listeners who respond enthusiastically to his dramatized imitations of a complaining, overworked woman or his melodramatic caricature of an unhappy, desperate or distraught housewife. At many preaching events, the layout of the space also recognizes women as shoppers.

Hearing Allah’s Call explores a number of entertaining and evocative oratorical styles as well as the social importance of preaching. Similar to American preachers who make Sunday sermons enjoyable for rural and urban Americans, Julian Millie, an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Australia’s Monash University, spent 14 months studying how popular preachers captivate audiences by exhibiting presentations of extraordinary novelty, sheen and luster. This book is not about all Islamic preaching in Indonesia which is too diverse and broad a subject to be analysed in a single volume. It’s also not about ritual preaching that occurs in the Friday congregational prayer. Instead this innovative study has a regional and ethnic focus, as it addresses only the way Islamic preaching is practiced in everyday life in Bandung and its surrounds where thousands of weddings and circumcisions take place among the Muslim population every day. West Java is the ideal place to conduct research on Islamic preaching. In most of the region’s communities, everybody is a Muslim - about 97% of the province’s population of 43 million. Verses and sayings from the Koran as well as the acts of the prophet provide material for orations and reinforce and authenticate this population’s strict Islamic observance. The Sundanese are regular participants in daily routines of prayer, worship and study. In sermons, Islam’s teachings are not distant and unattainable but are movingly shared with audiences who are clearly stimulated and entertained. Attendance at sermons does not require listeners to possess a high degree of Koranic literacy and preaching events are frequent and easy to get to in the company of family, friends and neighbors. These events are performed not just in mosques and Islamic schools but also in parks, fields, sports arenas, street corners as well as in government and corporate offices where preachers are welcomed for the bravura, color and boldness of their performances. West Java is home to many talented preachers who make successful careers from reaching out to listeners and in some cases drawing huge audiences. When celebrated preachers are advertised, it’s not uncommon that crowds of over 5,000 people gather in a venue awaiting his entry. A preacher’s popularity also creates a widespread demand for cassettes and videos of his sermons. Celebrity preachers often appear on regional and national TV.

A Pasar Kagetan (“Surprise Market”) is set up consisting of small stalls selling products primarily of interest to women, such as clothing, fabrics, perfume and cooking utensils. This book is remarkable in that it covers a subject that is rarely dealt with, especially by academics. One couldn’t possibly study all the forms of preaching and settings where preaching takes place in Indonesia, but the Sundanese preaching styles observed in Hearing Allah’s Call are similar to those practiced elsewhere in Indonesia. Preachers communicate by mobilizing many voices, languages and registers, not all of them necessarily religious, that play on their audiences’ emotions by turning an ironic, playful lens on contemporary society. Some have introduced physical theatre and mimicry into their performances. A typical sermon is full of surprises and engages intimately with its listeners emotionally, culturally and socially. A preacher’s verbal skills and artifices can transfix audiences by mimicking television voices that are instantly recognized from local or national media. Sermonizers can replicate the sounds of motorcars, sing popular Sundanese songs like pop divas, recite religious verses with great skill and emotion, play musical instruments. They restore a bored or fatigued audience with doses of humour, in-jokes, double entendre, putting them into a state of sustained hilarity or move them to tears. Women listen in far greater numbers than men to preachers, even at events intended for both men and women. Whereas the men generally move little from a basic sitting position, the women’s section is a moving field of rolling, undulating bodies ringing with laughter. This is the case even in a petrified society in which men’s leadership is rarely questioned, where polygamy is common and where women

The work’s rich and original ethnography is full of insightful, thought-provoking details that will appeal to students of anthropology as well as those intrigued by contemporary Islamic societies. By focusing sympathetically on the religious oratorical presentations that enliven everyday life for West Java’s Muslims, this book changes the way we think about Islamic preaching.

School News Bali Island School CAS Corner EOTC Trash analysis - Radhita Anggono Grade 11 Upon arriving at Les Village, we quickly settled down and got straight to work to improve on our efficiency. We introduced ourselves to the villagers and made ourselves familiar with the groups we would be working with for the next few days. On the first day, we were informed of the initiatives that have been taken to improve the waste issue in the village. This includes things like paying the villagers a certain amount based on the trash that they collect and to see how certain policies affect the frequency of certain types of trash in different areas. There is the question of how measuring the effectiveness of the legislation will affect the people. I’m not entirely sure of the whole process but I think that if we want to measure the effectiveness of the law, then we will also have to consider the mindset of the society around us. Is this a good measure to correct littering? There’s always the problem that this will cost quite a bit to enforce and to pay the villagers, which is money that could have been used for education instead. In order to recognise and consider the ethics of choices and actions, we participated in a group activity where we all had to make a presentation detailing the effects of climate change to a given topic and think about certain solutions. With the impacts of the different issues we were given, we were thought about what the global issue of climate change could do to many people around the world. Everyone contributes to the issue but not equally and some will feel the impact more harshly than others. Drastic weather changes and a sudden surge of extreme floods that may destroy people’s homes and in the most severe case, take lives. Every action will have a reaction and with the negative impact it has on people, there will always be the question of whether the benefit of cheaper products outweigh the cost of this very real and very terrifying problem. I will clarify that with thinking out solutions, most of them

included decreasing consumption of a certain product or switching out existing ones for goods that were more sustainable. This included solutions that were on a personal level, things like turning off the lights and taking shorter showers, to a larger community, things like investing in solar panels and having certain hours of the day where only a select number of cars could drive so pollution from gas emissions were reduced. In doing this, I was able to see how certain actions may cause an impact and contribute to the ever-growing problem of enhanced global warming and that with certain decisions, there will always be a hefty cost: whether it be monetary or environmentally. It’s important to realise just how much these small things can add up with every person that contributes to it and the impact it can have on people.

Levine, students are getting their creativity on by making a series of assessments that showcase their knowledge of the book. Students could choose from several different assessments such as creating their own comic book, acting out an interesting scene, videoing a book talk, or even creating a diorama. All assessments should include MLA citations, written descriptions of the scene(s) depicted, and quotes from the actual story.

The research that we have done and the activity that we had to do also demonstrates engagement with issues of global significance because I firmly believe that climate change is an issue of worldwide scale that needs to be dealt with.

GREENSPEAK Last Words This will be my final Greenspeak column. When I moved to Ubud almost 20 years ago, I contacted the editor of the Bali Advertiser with the suggestion that I write a column. I didn’t know anyone here and it seemed like a good way to meet interesting people. Perhaps I’d been sitting up late with Jenny and a bottle of single malt, a combination that has hatched many bright ideas over three decades. The editor agreed. I had no idea what I was getting into. I’d been a writer for many years and I knew a deadline from a dartboard, but these deadlines were remorseless. Every second Wednesday I had to pony up with 1,000 words that were interesting, relevant and true whether I felt like it or not. Sometimes I did not feel like it. Very often I sat down under the ticking clock with no idea at all what I was going to write about. And I’ve learned so much… about rice cultivation, poverty, natural textile dyes, sexually transmitted diseases, reptiles, black magic, orphanages, bamboo construction, herbal remedies, natural ventilation, dengue fever, spices, scorpions, so much more And so began a journey and a journal. I became a window to Bali and my life here for myself and readers. It wasn’t supposed to be like this; Greenspeak was meant to be a column on the environment. But those endless deadlines soon pushed me out of that box, and I began to expand my mandate to include my immediate, personal environment my garden, my dogs, my staff, my pond, my street. I found myself holding the space for many small encounters and experiences and distilling them into 1,000 words of prose every second Wednesday. My editor Chris, bless him, gave me a very long rope. The only time he censored anything I’ve written was to remove an impassioned and possibly actionable paragraph about a manufacturer of baby formula. The column led me outside to meet people who are creating positive change on this island - farmers, priests, social activists, balians, weavers, environmentalists, scholars. It led me into my garden to observe the plants and creatures there. The column was an excuse for me to contact all kinds of fascinating folk and ask them impertinent questions. It led me inside myself, to examine how I was so touched by Bali’s profound and quirky magic. And I’ve learned so much… about rice cultivation, poverty, natural textile dyes, sexually transmitted diseases, reptiles, black magic, orphanages, bamboo construction, herbal remedies, natural ventilation, dengue fever, spices, scorpions, so much more.

The more I learned the more curious I became. With a notebook under my arm and a pen behind my ear I visited subaks, rural health clinics, water projects, farms, schools, composting toilets, temples and birthing clinics. I learned how knives and kites are made, how witches are placated and the correct way to hold a python (don’t). The trouble with writing for a paper is that people tend to believe what they read and be influenced by it. So I had to train myself to be a witness, not a judge. Even if a situation had me raging, I had to present it from a place of calm balance because you would read it. I had to walk the talk, because of you. You kept me honest. You stretched me in all directions.

“Interviewing a weaver in Sumba, 2014” photo by Jenny Bigio.

People my age who settle in this part of Bali often come from an academic or business life. They’ve taken a great leap of faith, leaving a world of reliable medical care, live theatre and good wine to live in a rice field. It’s remarkable what happens to them, over time. The right side of the brain wakes up and starts to dance in Ubud, this little town that is such a crucible of creativity. Tax lawyers and computer wizards take up painting, educators start designing hats. In Singapore I used to write corporate brochures and advertising copy. Now my keyboard clicked to tales of spirits from the undercliff and dragons in the bath. I’m always pleased and humbled when people tell me they enjoy the column. That never gets old. It’s an odd feeling, actually, to write a story and send it out to the world for strangers to read. Sometimes those strangers wrote to me, and some of them became friends. A couple of times an enraged reader fired off a rant - my writing was too positive, too happy. Was I blind? Didn’t I see the piles of garbage and the mangy dogs and the corruption? Well yes, I do. But long ago I learned that people are just about as happy as they decide to be, and I’ve decided to be happy. Over a decade ago people started saying, “You should make a book of these stories.” I thought it over and took the concept to a Bali-based publisher who told me, “No one would be interested in a book like that.” So I took a deep breath and published it myself. Bali Daze (originally Dragons in the Bath) has now sold over 5,000 copies in hard copy and online. I think this indicates that people are indeed interested in the small stories of everyday life in Bali, cross cultural engagement and reptiles in the bathroom. But Bali has changed a great deal in the past few years. Outside my gate the town has become noisy and busy, and

it’s quite a scene out there these days. Inside my gate Wayan Manis, my housekeeper all this time, remains a precious constant. Many dogs - Karma, Kipper, Kalypso, Casey, Chloe, Daisy, Hamish, Tika, Tilly and Bruno - have shared my home and garden. My life is small, now. I am content. I find I have less to say, so it seems like a good time to stop saying it. So thank you, Bali Advertiser, for the discipline of two articles a month (later one) for so many years, giving me a platform for my occasional rants and material for two collections of stories. There’s no feeling quite like seeing someone smiling while reading a book I’ve written. Thank you, Chris and Ratih, for your patience and understanding over cliffhanger deadlines. And thank you, dear readers, for all your feedback and support, for stopping me in the street to mention a recent article, for your emails and visits over the years. I’ll miss you, but I won’t miss those deadlines. Bless you all. Over and out.

Aren’t You Glad You’re Not in China? (Or: Art and Culture Close to Home) The future of Balinese art is looking healthy! Celebrating its 4th Anniversary, Yayasan TiTian Bali (YTB) continues to celebrate Bali’s visual artists and their creations. The foundation’s TiTian Art Space in Ubud is displaying the works of this year’s top Balinese artists right alongside some excellent young Balinese artists in their own delightful exhibition of juried works. One winning artist is 13 year old Wayan Damar Langit Timur, whose father, Made Bayak, an accomplished artist in his own right, watched the boy take up drawing at age 3, and says he’s simply never stopped. Damar’s enormous monster, reminiscent of Lempad, takes pride of place in the show. Serious collectors will be impressed by the adjacent room, where are displayed several exceptionally strong works competing for the adult TiTian Prize, Bali’s most prestigious distinction for established artists. TiTian refers to stepping stones, an apt metaphor for the advancement of Balinese art and artists, right down to proper conservation of artworks and careful scholarship. Exhibition ends 29 February, 9-5, closed Mondays, Jl Nyuh Kuning 5, 08113988444. titianartspace.com

l Here’s a new take on Hari Raya Kuningan (29 February), the last hurrah of every Galungan. The village of Munggu (Seseh), will enact their Mekotek Festival. This ancient sacred ceremony has only recently been revived, since Dutch occupiers banned it out of fear of an armed uprising over 100 years ago.

In Bali’s great number of interesting rites of extreme macho, Mekotek is right up there. Its roots go back to the glorification and honor of the royal troops of Mengwi and served as a way to ward off evil. Today, though, the men will not be jousting with long iron spears, as did their ancestors. They’ll show their skills with long sticks of strong pulet wood. Stunts that follow formal street parades are daring. Dozens of standing men anchor their sticks and push them together into a teepee-like stack of wood. One local volunteer then climbs the swaying cone and stays aloft, ostensibly challenging another group, riding aloft until the men below can no longer support him. Some get down safely, some not. No matter what, this is a wild spectacle. l Big variety of local culture marks Denpasar’s anniversary party on 27 February. 232 years of the “South Market” city will be celebrated in Puputan Square. Music stage, various competitions and parades, food stalls, and a schedule of cultural performances are in store. All day, goes well into the night. Appropriate for visitors and locals.

Jakarta’s own Java Jazz Festival, February 28 – March 1, arguably the world’s greatest jazz festival, is right in our front yard. International talents, a massive fairgrounds venue, and lively audiences make this orgy of music a bucket list proposition. Javajazzfestival.com

Two festivals just outside the wave break: l The Perth Festival is in full swing (7 February – 1 March), and even the free cultural offerings are amazing. A highlight in the literature and culture department is debut novelist Tommy Orange, whose Pulitzer-prize shortlisted There There has won raves from all the important reviewers. He’s in conversation on 22 February with Paula Morris.

A Young Artist’s Painting, TiTian Art Space

Orange is a member of the Oklahoma Arapahoe and

Cheyenne tribes, and there’s a deep power in his retelling of dislocation and genocide. The New York Times lauded his work as "a tense, prismatic book with inexorable momentum.” Ten budding literary critics grill their favorite authors in the Curated by Kids event in Perth’s Patricia Crawford Courtyard. It’s a free event on February 23 at 10 and 1. For a vast array of offerings in music, theatre, family activities and art, go to www.perthfestival.com.au l If you decide to take a left turn out of Bandara Ngurah Rai, consider the 2020 New Zealand Festival in Wellington, an extravaganza loaded with first rate international culture. Might want to catch story-telling musician Laurie Anderson on 5 March in conversation with the extraordinary world music makers Horomona Horo and Shahzad Ismaily. Anderson is one of three guest curators of this year’s festival, and her contributions include a virtual-reality experience, an improvisational ensemble, an interactive soundscape, a film screening, and a concert for dogs.

On 6 March, you could check out symphonic masterpiece Here Comes the Ocean at the Michael Fowler Centre. Anderson collaborates with percussionist Ismaily, and this is going to be great! Based on the compositions of her late husband, Velvet Underground guitarist and songwriter Lou Reed. On the literary front, check out the interview of Serhii Plokhy. Plokhy is a Harvard professor and author of nonfiction award-winning (Baillie Gifford Prize) bestseller, Chernobyl: the History of a Tragedy. His latest book, Forgotten Bastards of the Eastern Front: An Untold Story of World War II is hot off the press. 23 February, and all of these events are selling quickly at festival.nz By Renee Melchert Thorpe Spreading art news?
