Restaurant Review
By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com
A Steak House! Nirvana is a state of mind. When you dine at Nirvana, the restaurant in Jln. Laksmana, Kerobokan, your ‘state of mind’ is one of relaxation, even if you do not combine it with a visit to the upstairs spa and massage floor. An unusual combination you may think, but a very popular one. The success of Nirvana once again proves that no site in Bali is permanently a ‘bad location’, just sometimes poorly managed. Nirvana’s site has been a restaurant for the previous 8 years, but never a successful one, now as Nirvana it thrives with its simple comfort food at very reasonable prices. If you miss the significance of the Australian flag as a backdrop to the bar you will never miss the Aussie accents amongst the regular customers. Eat Street [what was Jl. Laksmana in Kerobokan] has gone through many changes since I first gave it that title back in 2001. Ever rising rents have got rid of many players, those that are left must either ‘over-charge’ or be very full. So many restaurants have been and gone in very quick time, sadly a few good ones as well as the ‘wannabees’. Unlike many in the street, Nirvana is busy by day and full every night. An international menu but really a steak house, catering for suburban Aussies with good simple food at reasonable prices, friendly bar, sports on TV and live music every night [the Bali Beatles are a smash hit!]. Whilst the menu is substantial it is their steaks that they are famous for. Local beef of excellent quality, expertly grilled, and a price a fraction of what is charged elsewhere for imported product [which can be of varying quality]. Their Entrecote Cafe de Paris [pictured] is the biggest seller, and I understand why! Open early for breakfast it serves the usual items, but all are listed individually so it is easy to design your own breakfast; eggs any which way, bacon, ham, German chicken or pork sausages, hash browns, omelettes and pancakes.
and the Salads a Nirvana Special of Roman [or Romaine] lettuce tossed with grilled chicken breast slices, the dressing blended with Roquefort cheese. The Pastas [penne, spaghetti, ravioli and tagliatelle] are sized half way between a starter and a main meal depending on your appetite. Medallions a la Moutarde are three amazingly tender pork rounds cut from the tenderloin in a mustard cream sauce, sitting on a base of pan-fried mashed potato [not real hash browns]. Escalope a la Crème is paper thin scallops of chicken breast in a very creamy champignon sauce scattered round a centre serve of tagliatelle pasta. Once again the meat is tender and tasty and you quickly realize that this place actually knows what they are doing. One of Bali’s best kept secrets is that all it takes to operate a successful restaurant in Bali is to serve simple food, consisting of recognisable dishes [comfort food, just like at home - with no surprises] that have been prepared with care, and offered at reasonable prices. This is in the oft over-priced Seminyak-Kerobokan area. What a difference to the cost when there are no sea views, and management not so greedy! Even the Nirvana Special Mixed Grill [tuna, beef, prawn, chicken and sausage, with three different sauces] is in the same price range, and the full range of steak combinations [au Poivre, Café de Paris and the Filleto Bourguignon] are similarly priced, even that American creation Surf ‘n’ Turf!. At Nirvana they sell the original Cordon Bleu [not a Gordon Blue in sight], that ever popular breaded chicken fillet stuffed with ham and cheese, and like all else done perfectly. Seafood includes seared Tuna Medallions in a dill sauce, Paper-Wrapped Snapper Fillet, Peppered Butterfish and fried, grilled or curried Prawns. The Indonesian menu offers that Balinese special Pepes Ikan, sliced snapper combined with Balinese spices cooked whilst wrapped in banana leaf, again perfectly executed.

Also on the Indonesian menu are all the standards. They include Sates, Nasi and Mie Gorengs and Chicken Curry [tender chicken slices in a very light curry]. Many visitors to Bali want to sample the Bali special, Babi Guling [whole suckling pig cooked slowly on the spit over burning coconut husks] but are afraid of the ‘hygiene’ in the preparation thereof at local warungs. Nirvana prepares a number of portions in their kitchen, every night.
Likewise there is a special Lunch Snack menu [salads, sandwiches, burgers] although the full menu is available all day, and quite a varied selection it provides, although some of the starters double as possible any time snacks; Vol au Vent [puff pastry shell filled with a chicken and mushroom ragout in a cream sauce], Beef Carpaccio, Duck Liver Pate, Tuna Tartar and Calamari Rings and the essential plate of Spring Rolls [5 small bite-size vegetarian rolls in crisp casing with sweet and sour sauce for dipping].
Desserts are simple and straight forward, a mix of cakes, pies, tarts, crepes, fruit and ice cream. The wine list is quite small, and very economically priced in view of the current import problems, not an easy thing to do in the difficult Bali market.
The soups include a Pumpkin and Coconut, thick and creamy,
No wonder they are busy every night.
No, Nirvana is not trendy, does not have a view, it is just full of happy customers. They offer good old fashioned food, tender and tasty, with friendly happy service in a nice clean, cool environment, and all at what to any visiting tourist are very budget prices!

- 1 tsp. sea salt - 1/2 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
C/Ns/I-03 Feb 16
KOK TONG
Directions: If you have tea bags use three, and steep in two cups of just boiled water. If you use loose leaf tea then use 3 teaspoon of the dry leaves and steep in 2 cups of water for 5 minutes. Discard the bags or strain out the leaves.
Sometimes I find rice, quinoa, or other grains need a lift. To spark them up quickly I cook the grains in a full flavored tea. Lapsang Souchong, an intensely smoky tea, is perfect to enhance rice to go with beans. Earl Gray makes a more delicately flavored rice to go with chicken, Indian and other dishes. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is that you use a good quality, deep flavored tea.
Rice with A Lilt Serves 4
KOPI Classical Taste from Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra
Pour the steeped tea into the cooking pot, add the salt and bring to a boil. Now add the rice, give it a good stir and cover. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until the rice is done. The time will depend on the type of rice you use. When the rice is done to your liking, fluff with a fork and gently stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro leaves. Note: If you use quinoa remember to rinse it under running water until the water runs clear before adding to the pot.

Update The Warung is the restaurant at The Pesantian resort. The cuisine is classic and very traditional Balinese. It is located in the upper valley above Pejeng [on the road to Tampak Siring, you turn right at the S bend, signed to Villa Ubud, go to the end of road, at T junction turn left and then proceed up the hill to The Pesantian]. A very refreshing drink to sip whilst eating is their special herbal mocktail that combines ginger, lemongrass and turmeric, balanced with a dash of lemonade. Start with a hearty soup, a meal in a bowl, Pulung Pulung Ayam, lumps of minced chicken and shredded young coconut, red beans and sprigs of that day’s fresh vegetables are combined with ground Bumbu Bali and coconut milk. It is a thick soup of intense yet delicate flavour. For salad you can order either grilled or poached chicken, for me the one with a mound of green mango and papaya, mint and herb citrus dressing best suits my taste buds [the grilled chicken version is pictured]. Kare Ayam is on many Bali menus but I have never had it any better than this. Cooked on the bone for extra taste, but falling off it at first touch, this mild curry still has a complex taste, it is quite exceptional! Vegetarians are looked after with a couple of healthy but still tasty dishes. Jepang, Nangka Muda and Green Bean Curry combines choco, young jackfruit and green beans simmered in a mild coconut milk curry. The Sayur Mesanten is a Balinese Laksa without the noodles. A squash and vegetable curry with tofu and soy bean cake, the overall taste so much like laksa. It is Balinese cuisine, simple and pure, from international owner/chef Nyoman Santika [The Serai, Amandari, Amanyara and Alila Manggis] in a peaceful setting in the lush bushland of natural Bali, total relaxation.
Happy Chappy becomes a chain with the imminent opening of Happy Chappy Canggu. The highly popular original on Jln. Braban is often a full house, so as many of their regular customers come from Canggu and beyond, this is quite a sensible move. Smaller than No. 1 and with a slightly cut down menu [still containing all of the most ordered dishes], it is certain to be packed from day one. There is much more to come from this very professional management team!
Kukus is new on Jln. Arjuna [ex Jln. Double Six], a pleasant open space with the usual very large Bali tourist menu, but surprisingly most items are well presented, tasty and budget priced. They offer local Indonesian with all the usual, even Crispy Duck that is not too crispy and Balinese Chicken with sambal, cooked on the bone, as well as the usual Nasi/Mie Gorengs. There are Pizzas, Seafood [prawns, mahi-mahi, etc] and a range of standard international dishes such as Chicken Kiev, Pork Spare Ribs. Kukus has become very popular, very quickly, always a good sign.

Jebak is on Jln. Teuku Umar, in central Denpasar. It is more of an up-market food court than a normal restaurant with a wide range of different cuisines available. From various parts of Indonesia [Soto Betawi, Nasi Timbel Gurami Bakar, Ayam Plecing, Balada Ceker Belado, Lontong Sayur, Sego Ludruk, Ikan Bakar Dabu-Dabu, Ikan Kuah Asam, Ayam Bakar Rica-Rica, Gurami Woku, Batagor & Siomay Bandung, Tahu Gejrot and Sego Banteng], relatively little from Bali [Rujak Kacang, Tipak Cantok], from Singapore [Laksa and Hainanese Chicken or as they just call it there, Chicken Rice], from Japan [Chicken Katsu, Chirisashu Ramen, and Californian, Rainbow and Salmon Cheesy Rolls] and even an Indonesian version of Thai [Khao Pad – Nasi Goreng and Gai Goong – Ayam & Udang Madu Pedas]. The western offerings are the international pizzas and pastas served all over the world. Something different, there is something for everyone. White Orchid promises to serve ‘Asian’ cuisine? Which Asian cuisine and whether that will be traditional or just a ‘version of’ remains to be seen. It is under construction on Jln. Raya Ubud, taking over the eastern half of what was once one of Ubud’s top dining options, Ary’s Warung. Perhaps it will be some real honest Thai or Vietnamese? We can only hope.
Grass & Grain are doing great things under their Aussie chef, on Jn.Batu Belig, Kerobokan, where the failures outnumber the successes 10 to 1. It is small and cozy with air-con inside and a small terrace outside. It is open for Breakfast [a Big Breakfast that really is big. Mexican or Turkish Eggs], lunch [Poached Salmon Salad with lentils, Vietnamese Spring Rolls], dinner and snacks in between [great sandwiches]. You can also browse in the attached Bathe, which is full of high quality bathing products.
Burger Shop signals that the hamburger craze that has hit Bali in recent year now extends to Ubud. Located in what used to be the flower shop, it is found in the annex beside Rouge Bar, on Jln. Bisma. The ‘mainly beef’ burgers all consist of 180 gms of hand-minced Australian beef, they come in many different forms. Classic is just with lettuce, tomato and onion. Cheesy has onion rings and Swiss cheese added, the Balinese that fiery sambal matah, Mexican is with slices of jalapeno and salsa, Teryaki shiitake mushrooms and that sauce, with Blue the onions are caramelized and fourme d’amber, that classic French cheese from Auvergne, added. Top of the line are their Wagyu and the Rossini [shiitake mushrooms and foie gras]. If you prefer Chicken then try the Caesar, with chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, bacon, parmesan and Caesar dressing. There is also a vegetarian option, the Veggie, with tempe, lettuce, tomato, onion and shiitake mushrooms. Extra toppings can be bacon or Swiss cheese and the sides can be Onion Rings, Coleslaw Salad or Pommes Allumettes [with or without parmesan]. Sorbetto or Gelato for dessert, hot and cold drinks, even a glass of house wine to make it that much more enjoyable. Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS BALI INSIGHTS Thank you Emiko Susilo, for your superbly written little e-book, Good to Know about Bali … A Friendly Guide to Arts and Culturally Sustainable Travel to Bali. You’ve covered a lot of practical topics – how to ride safely on the back of a motor cycle, which small businesses and non-pro¿ts are worth supporting - and answers to puzzling questions like “Why is that man selling ice cream at a funeral?” More importantly, you open our eyes to the magic of Bali’s art, music and dance, sharing your deep knowledge and experience, as the co-founder of international performance troupe, Cudamani, of the living culture and special festivals of the island. Actually, it’s awful to realise how much I haven’t quite understood, all these years, about Balinese customs and ceremonies. I’m still wincing at the number of obvious – once you know them – ways that visitors are disrespectful in temples. As bad as wandering up to a bishop or rabbi in the middle of a service, and using the bottom of his gown to clean your sunglasses. I kid you not! Yet the writing, like the author’s huge-hearted, welcoming self, is gentle and non-judgmental. Buy the little e-guide book on Amazon while it’s at a tiny “new offer” price, and recommend it to absolutely everyone. A can’t-put-down read. A FESTIVAL MUST Put this paper down and get online now; don’t miss your place on the Borneo Isen Muleng Festival tour, scheduled for next month. Ubud ex-pat, extraordinary photographer and cultural explorer, David Metcalf, will lead a glorious week’s tour to Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo, where a huge annual gathering of the Dayak tribes begins on May 18, to celebrate their culture with song, dance, beauty and traditional games. This is the 8th year of the festival, and an astonishing opportunity for photographers and cultural tourists. The Isen Mulang Festival Parade draws Dayaks from all over Borneo, and participants from the Indonesian cultures of Sulawesi, Sumatra, Java and Maluku Islands. Competition during the week is - on the vividly adorned boats in the Dragon Boat Contest, and in the alarming sport of ‘¿re football’, where the ball is actually a coconut, doused in petrol and set alight! To secure your spot: visit www.davidmetcalfphotography. com/cultural-tour. Phone: 0811 1331 255 or 0361 972 500. AUSSIES ON FREE VISA! Yippee! Just a few weeks ago, Indonesia ¿nally added Australia to the free visa list, along with Burkina Faso, West Africa, (those who know me will laugh), and many other countries. This is a 30-day free entry for tourists and other travel categories, but not for journalists. This type of entry can’t be extended or converted without leaving the country, so if you planned to stay longer, you’d tell the authorities when you arrived, and pay the $US35 for a 30 day extendable visa. Fabulous news for Aussies who want another holiday on our favourite island, and would rather spend their money inside than leave it “at the gate”.

MOTHER’S DAY TRADITION For me, Mother ’s Day tradition (i.e. my own personal special day) is yum cha, or dim sum, if you like, at a Chinese restaurant. I may be on my own, or with friends or family, but I know that my two sons will also be eating yum cha and thinking of their Mum, wherever they happen to be.

They live in an impoverished part of north-east Bali, where even water is not easily accessible, and for the past few years now, they’ve created and sold their wares as part of the Muntigunung Development Livelihood program.

BEWARE OF CREEPS Beware travelling alone in the evening through darkened Ubud streets; sometimes, young men are nasty, potentially lethal idiots. A young Chinese volunteer was sexually harassed on the way home from a volunteer shift at the recent Bali Spirit Festival night concert, the perpetrator leaning across from his bike to hers to fondle her breasts. Perhaps he meant no actual physical harm, but the shock caused her to swerve and crash on the road, injuring both an arm and a leg quite badly. He sped away. Women on scooters at night shouldn’t have to be on the alert for thoughtless, malicious or dangerously creepy behavior from other riders, here or anywhere. But we do. Many of us take more risks in Bali than we would back home, and we all need to be more careful. Ask where you are staying, or plan for a friend to escort you home, if you are out late at night. And please report any nasty behaviour to www.ubudwatch.org, as well as the police.

© Anggara Mahendra makes Ubud a truly international village, and a place that’s also totally unique. Where else could you go from raw food ¿ne dining in the middle of a rice ¿eld to a modern cocktail bar where every drink sings with ingredients like rosella Àower, tamarind and tumeric?”
Ubud earns Top 10 spot in TripAdvisor’s Traveller’s Choice Awards for 2016, as the international reputation of Bali’s culinary and artistic capital continues to grow
Pivotal to fostering Ubud’s unique identity is the Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati, the not- for-pro¿t organisation behind the upcoming Ubud Food Festival (27-29 May), the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (26-30 October) and the Bali Emerging Voices Festival (2017).
The ranking shows the village to be far more than monkey¿lled temples and yoga studios in the rice ¿elds – the swift climb is thanks to its vibrant contemporary culture, with Ubud now home to a host of world-class restaurants, venues and events. Ubud has been listed amongst the Top 10 leading holiday destinations in TripAdvisor’s Traveller’s Choice Awards for 2016, alongside usual suspects including London, Paris and Rome. One of only three Asian cities to make the list – and by far the smallest at home to only 30,000 people – it’s a testament to Ubud’s growing reputation as Bali’s culinary, cultural and artistic capital, which has gained incredible momentum over the past decade.
“Ubud has hit the rankings because it’s all about creativity here; it attracts the entrepreneurs, whether they’re writers, chefs, artists or restaurateurs,” says Ubud Food Festival Founder & Director and Ubud resident for over 30 years, Janet DeNeefe. “People come here to invent and be inventive. There’s a great buzz, and there always has been. The rest of the world is just starting to discover what a vital mix we’ve got here.” “There’s an incredible mix of traditional and international inÀuences and tastes. The constant evolution of new concepts
The Yayasan is dedicated to showcasing the very best of Indonesian culture, arts and cuisine. The Festivals have attracted international acclaim, and are now a permanent and much-anticipated ¿xture on Bali’s annual calendar of events. “We’re a part of Ubud’s journey to international recognition, but we also exist because of it,” says DeNeefe. “Heroing the very best of Bali’s culinary and creative culture is easy when you have so many fantastic new initiatives and collaborators shaping the scene. It’s a place that never stops evolving – which makes it the perfect spot to visit again and again.”
The Ubud Food Festival will return for its second year from 27-29 May, with the full line up to be released in mid-April. Visit the website at www.ubudfoodfestival. com to get all the latest information.

BA Feature Article Go-Jek Bali
An Ojek for Every Need The new ojek kid on the block has been implanted here for about one year and has become very popular for many reasons with locals, expats and tourists alike. Not just because of the easy, ef¿cient and professional online app it uses but also because of the transparent pricing, its safety and security record, and the community style in which the organization functions. Go-Jek is derived from the traditional ojek service, the motorcycle taxi that has been a cheaper and faster alternative than car taxis, especially in traf¿c congested areas or for destinations (think narrow gangs or alleys) where normal sized cars cannot venture. But it certainly is more than just a professional transport/courier/delivery service. The company that created Go-Jek has also changed the manner in how services are provided. They have created a new paradigm and fashioned the practice into a professional, standard and organized service. Experienced drivers are recruited from the traditional ojek community, receive thorough training and participate in teambuilding events. These drivers also give back to the community they serve through various events organized individually or by the company. They are blood donors, visit orphanages, participate in beach cleanups and are active in other CSR activities. How it started. Go-Jek was the brainchild of Jakarta businessman Nadiem Makarim who once was riding with a traditional ojek driver in traf¿c-snarled Jakarta. He remembers marveling at the skill and dexterity of his driver and the creative ways he found his way around tight-knit traffic points. Dreaming about having a Àeet of competent ojek clones at his beck and call on a moment’s notice, he easily made the link to the idea of a smartphone application which would make it easy to order up ojek-service. Over time he also developed the applications to include delivery and courier service and launched the project in Jakarta where it became an overnight success. It was easy to take the next logical step and the service was introduced in Bandung, Makassar and Surabaya. Bali was next in February 2015. At present Go-Jek service is available in 10 cities throughout Indonesia. In Bali Go-Jek drivers are currently active in Denpasar, Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud with more Go-Jek centers planned in the near future. Admin of¿ces are located in Kuta; the operations center which doubles as the driver training site is on Teuku Umar. To date some 9000 drivers are active in the Bali Àeet. How does it work? Go-Jek has an intuitive mobile app for smartphone devices which you can download from their website to order any of the Go-Jek services. With GO-RIDE you can enter your desired destination and easily hail the nearest Go-Jek driver to your physical location. Based on where you are and where you are going, the fare price will be quoted before you con¿rm, making for a more transparent transaction. Go-Jek’s location-based technology immediately ¿nds a driver near your pick up point and sends you his photo and his contact details so you can sms or call the driver. It also shows the estimated arrival time of the driver. The smartphone based application is a well-thought out, user-friendly interactive program. You can pay cash or use a mobile banking app called Go-Kredit to settle the fare. There are no worries about extortionate pricing, “add-ons” and other unexpected charges. At the end of the ride or service, you can take the opportunity to rate your driver. Go-Jek drivers are easily spotted with their apple green uniforms and helmets. They all have smartphones with mobile banking facilities. Helmets are provided to the customer, as well masks and
protective hairnets to assuage any hygiene concerns. Rain ponchos during rainy season, of course. In addition, all GoJek passengers are covered by accident insurance. More than personal transport. Besides providing reliable and fast transport with GO-RIDE, Go-Jek offers many other services. Drivers can also be called upon as couriers to deliver documents or anything that can ¿t on or be transported legally by motorcycle (GO-SEND), for fast-food delivery (GO-FOOD), for personalized shopping service (GO-MART), to order tickets for events, sports venues or amusement parks (GO-TIX). There is also GO-BOX which allows you to order a moving truck with driver. GO-CLEAN, a home or of¿ce cleaning service is currently being tested in Jakarta. Beta test are also being conducted for GO-MASSAGE which sends massage practitioners to your home or location and GO-GLAM, a pampering service offering miscellaneous spa and salon services. These services will be available in Bali by the end of the year. The GO-FOOD delivery service is by far the most popular and amounts to 80% of Bali’s Go-Jek volume. You can order fast food or comfort food from a growing list of restaurants through Go-Jek’s app and have it delivered. In Bali alone approximately 1000 restaurants and eating outlets have signed up for the service and the list is growing daily. Nationwide, some 20,000 eating outlets are online with GoJek. Restaurants also use the app to send out phone-in orders. The GO-MART application can do some shopping for you. This personal shopping service is a blessing for sick, elderly or time-stressed people. You simply send your shopping list and indicate one of the stores registered with Go-Jek; an ojek driver will shop for you and deliver, up to a value of 1 million Rp. The GO-TIX service will be available in May and be expanded in the future to include cinema tickets and seat selection. All these services can be paid for with cash or with the GoKredit app. You can create an account with Go-Jek and deposit some funds into your personal “wallet” from which you can pay for any of Go-Jek’s services. Your Go-Kredit will always display how much money is left in your e-wallet. If needed you can top up by transferring more funds from your personal bank account into your Go-Kredit wallet. Benefits and Community Service – Though GO-JEK is a for-pro¿ t organization, its twin goal is to be a social enterprise and provide a vast set of community services that will make it a model among the companies that take community service responsibilities seriously. Teambuilding is an important part of the Go-Jek philosophy. Various educational and fun activities are part and parcel of driver training and continue in their every day working environment. As part of their commitment to customers an online Customer Service center is set up to deal with any questions, problems and issues. Go-Jek takes its reputation seriously and does not want any of its team members to provide below standard services. Problems are dealt with immediately and the situation resolved. If necessary, drivers are disciplined. As part of their community outreach, Go-Jek has several projects that support and encourage spirit and creativity among young people. A few months ago Go-Jek launched a competition called Go-Video and encouraged young amateur or professional ¿lm makers to create a short video with the theme “Indonesia chooses Go-Jek’” and a grand prize of Rp. 250 million. In Bali Go-Jek actively encourages its members to participate in community services like trash cleanups and is actively involved with the Sanur Green Team.
By Ines Wynn Foremost Go-Jek aims to make a dent in the unemployment or underemployment ¿gures by recruiting existing ojek drivers and providing them with a more reliable and better income. The drivers get thorough training, thereby enhancing their skills and presenting a more professional image to the customer. They also enjoy bene¿ts such as accident insurance that are not usually enjoyed by independent drivers. Besides a respectable living wage, which can amount to double or triple their usual income, drivers also set their own hours and choose whether they want to work full-time or part t-me. Because of the smart-phone based call app, they can work from home and don’t need to spend idle hours at a regular ojek station. Ban? - Of late there have been some ominous rumblings from the Transport Ministry threatening to ban taxi-hailing services like Uber and Go-Jek. And in January of this year the Provincial Government of Bali’s Transport Service has issued orders of¿cially banning Uber Taxis from operating on the Island. Ostensibly, according to Transportation authorities, Uber’s application-based system uses privately owned vehicles that lack of¿cial transportation permits and licenses issued by the Province. The ban at this moment only affects Uber but one wonders if Go-Jek will be the next target. Already a few local transport organizations have grumbled about the competition presented by Go-Jek. In particular a group calling itself CBBT (Canggu Batu Belig Transport) has taken the law into its own hands. According to posts in the Bali Crime Reports blog by Susi Johnston, CBBT, with no clear legal basis to do so, has imposed a ban on Uber, GrabTaxi and Go-Jek drivers operating in the area. Signs have been posted, drivers threatened, and recently one was the victim of a mass attack. CBBT explains their reasoning for the ban: “Because they cause loss to locals, earning money for themselves in our territory. We want the young generation in Canggu to have steady work, so they can claim their own innovations, and get a decent income, rather than just being bystanders here.” CBBT members won’t hesitate to enforce the ban, give warnings, and even take stronger action if necessary against Uber, G-Jek and GrabTaxi drivers if they try to pick up any passengers in their territory. They are only allowed to drop off passengers. CBBT defends the action by maintaining they are just manifesting the autonomy of the banjar. As Susi points out in her post, this sort of protectionism may be a tad overblown. The local banjar bans appear to be short-sighted and self-serving. Local drivers have the option to join Go-Jek and be part of a broader network. Still, there is room for both groups. The independent ojek drivers are not being forced from the roads. Given Go-Jek’s age limitations for drivers, ojek drivers older than 50 can still remain independent. Forward looking – The Go-Jek company is a young and dynamic culture which has applied the right technology to the right idea at the right time. The management team, under guidance of Harvard educated founder Nadiem, is encouraged to dream up new ideas to expand Go-Jek services. Where feasible, they work with already existing services and bring them under the Go-Jek umbrella, providing full training and the professional touch. By all means, give GO-JEK a try if you haven’t already. Check their Face Book Page Go-Jek Indonesia or visit their informative website at www.go-jek.com and download the app for a new option in safe and reliable transport on those clogged roads in Bali.

The pool and guest hangout area at the Dash Hotel, Seminyak was transformed to a swarm of activity as twentytwo kids (‘Solebuddies’) descended on the hotel with their parents for Solemen’s monthly Funday. The event brought together ‘Solebuddies’ from Denpasar, Klungkung, Sanur and Ubud – all with their own stories and struggles and connected through their relationship with Solemen.
‘Mr. Mischief’ Kadek, who has cerebral palsy, enjoyed swimming with other ‘Solebuddies’ and lived up to his nickname. Mr Mischief is much calmer and less aggressive and his mother always benefits greatly from help and interaction made possible by Solemen’s Fundays.
Mang Wi, a ‘Solebuddy’ with Down’s Syndrome, lit up when Solemen Ambassador Tamara Bleszynski arrived and she threw her arms up immediately demanding to picked up. Mang Wi’s mother is currently bedridden with lupus and finding it difficult to care for her. The Solemen team were able to give her respite for the day and Mang Wi, recently out of plaster following a leg fracture, took a picture of her together with Tamara home to her Mum which she loved. ‘Solebuddy’ Wayan and younger brother Made enjoyed the day with their parents. Although Wayan couldn’t go in the pool due to Epidermolysis Bullosa, his rare skin condition, he spent his time painting and interacting with other kids. It was only last year that Wayan was able to begin using
Lukas who also has cerebral palsy proudly walked into the hotel helped by his mum. His determination, coupled with his mothers support, means he is gaining strength daily and walking further each time Solemen staff see him. First timer to a Funday was Resa, who suffers from Thallasemia leaving him wheelchair bound due to his enlarged stomach. Resa was able to cool down sitting in the pool with the help of Solemen staff.

All guests were treated to a gourmet lunch and the afternoon included cake and egg decorating, a fun way of interacting with the kids. The day was also a day for the parents to enjoy as they were able to meet and connect with other parents with kids facing challenges similar to their own. Another celebrity attendee was two times World Bodybuilding Champion and expert nutritionalist Komang Arnawa. Dash staff were outstanding, displaying compassion and genuine interest in the children whilst assisting Solemen’s dedicated team to make the day an overwhelming success and one the kids will surely remember. The Funday’s location resulted in great exposure for Solemen with hotel guests stopping to interact and some making donations. Specially made white T-shirts sponsored by the Dash hotel, Sky-Garden and Pod Chocolates were distributed to the kids and adults and later generous and attractive goody gift bags meant the children didn’t go home empty handed.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton
The Jungle School by Butet Manurung She was bitten by stinging bees and scorpions, hit by falling tree branches, fell off a bridge and a motorcycle, suffered bouts of malaria, threatened by loggers, cobras, prowling bears and the jealous wife of a tribesman who pointed a spear at her throat. The Jungle School chronicles the life and adventures of a brave young Indonesian woman in the rainforests of southern Sumatra teaching the children of the indigenous Orang Rimba tribe. These “people of the forest,” who number only a few thousand, wear loincloths, live in thatched huts, forage for roots, hunt snakes, deer and wild pigs and worship a multitude of eerie forest spirits. Butet Manurung was born in Jakarta in 1972. She discovered her love of the outdoors while earning degrees in anthropology and Indonesian Literature at Padjadjaran University in Bandung. Butet also earned a Masters degree in applied anthropology from Australia National University. In the course of her work, she has visited indigenous peoples all over Indonesia. In 1999, Butet joined the conservation group WARSI to set up an educational program for the Orang Rimba in the Bukit Due Belas rainforest of eastern Jambi district in central Sumatra. In 2003, with other like-minded volunteers, she founded SOKOLA, a non-pro¿t volunteer service organization that provides educational opportunities for indigenous peoples in remote areas of the archipelago. Today SOKOLA runs programs in a dozen communities, bringing literacy to more than 10,000 children and adults. Originally published in Indonesian as Sokola Rimba in 2007, the book tells the story of Butet’s journey from anthropologist to educator to activist. She explains how and why she founded SOKOLA whose work and gutsy volunteers are an instructive example of how a small number of dedicated individuals can effect change. Butet describes the exploitation and deception at the hands of loggers and managers of developing oil palm plantations that the aboriginal group faced, problems that continue to this day. This absorbing account begins with the author, a diminutive but strong woman with a lively sense of humor, enduring a 20-plus hour journey by bus and foot from Jakarta to the rainforest’s edge, an ordeal that leaves her sick to her stomach, disoriented and in an amusing turn of events, missing a shoe. Early on in the book, I yearned for a map to help me ¿nd the different locations described in the story. Photos of Butet’s Jungle School and the activities of its students add to the intimacy of the story. Initially, the tribe does not welcome her. When Butet sees villagers go into town and get ripped off at the pasar due to a lack of numerical ability, she is motivated to act. But as an outsider and a woman working alone, it took months for her to develop personal relationships with the suspicious Orang Rimba. Most touchingly, she describes how her relationship with the tribes people develops as she transforms herself from a stranger to a trusted teacher in their community. Butet’s self-realizations, vulnerability and empathy make the writing immediately accessible and immensely readable. The reader is captivated as self-doubt often plagues her as she questions what she has started, “Is this good enough to be called a “school”?” she asks. “How stupid I am,” realizing her own de¿ciencies. Her humble admissions are all the more remarkable because they come from a credentialed woman with dual degrees in anthropology and literature. Although most teachers don’t have students who wear loincloths and leave class to check up on their animal traps, Butet’s trials and errors are familiar to anyone who has ever taught children. She expresses sentiments that any teacher can relate to. When students fail, teachers often feel that they are the ones who failed them. When her students ask her questions, she turns her answers into learning
opportunities, i.e. her digital watch becomes a stimulus to learn to recognize numbers.

The children influence Butet and teach her invaluable pedagogic skills. She starts where they are. She and keeps it simple and fun. Far from a rigidly prescribed curriculum, she adopts an organic non-judgmental approach, inventing her own teaching techniques in the ¿eld. Realizing that kids learn the sounds of letters ¿rst and then their shapes, she develops a practical reading-writing-counting syllabic method. Butet eventually lets her students teach one another. Surprising results follow. After three months, she takes her best students to other locations to become teachers. When asked what they want to be, many children reply, “a teacher trainee.” But delving deeper than just education, Butet tackles larger system-wide issues. The conservationist in her comes to realize that the next phase is to empower the villagers to defend their culture and their territory. Realizing the limits of a teacher, she comes to the conclusion that reading and writing alone is not adequate preparation for the Orang Rimba to chart their future. Knowledge brings pain and hopelessness, “Once they are able to read, they become aware of the issues. Then they become depressed when they realize they are unable to defend their own rights.”
C/E/G-13 April 16
The book contains many fresh non-intuitive insights into the nomadic ways of an indigenous people. Butet becomes sensitive to cultural differences, noting that the Orang Rimba would feel humiliated and hurt receiving what would be termed by the outside world as “donations” or “aid.” She learns to be wary of a helping hand when, for instance, a government forestry of¿cer wants to boost bee farming and rattan production “for the benefit of the Orang Rimba,” not realizing that the tribes people neither need nor want the intervention. Orang Rimba, for the most part, still live in small groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers who gather food from their natural surroundings in much the same manner as their ancestors have for hundreds of years. Over the past two decades, the outside world has arrived at their doorstep. Illegal loggers, government-sponsored transmigrants and palm oil planation workers in ever-increasing numbers are encroaching upon their habitat.
C/E/I-03 Feb 16
As a result, these indigenous people have self-imposed their own isolation in order to avoid conÀict with businesses chain sawing the rainforest they call home. Surrounded on all sides, they move deeper into the forest. While they have more than enough skills needed to preserve their environment, these forest people are ill prepared to deal with land contracts or the sale of rainforest products. Butet Manurung’s vivid personal experiences - her fears, her thrills, her successes, her failures – read like veritable ¿eld notes written down as they occur. But besides her amazing journey, this inspiring book asks bigger questions. What are the most effective alternative educational tools to use for members of marginalized aboriginal communities? How does a culture accommodate change and still be able to preserve traditions? How do a people in crisis prepare to deal with the challenges of the modern world? The Jungle School by Butet Manurung, Xlibris Corporation 2012, ISBN 978-146-916-6346, paperback, 222 pages, dimensions, 15 cm X 22 cm.

Does IGA hold meetings and get-togethers?
Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton
Yes, IGA holds meetings to discuss management issues and other topics. Our members assess the cooking methods, culture, history and environmental inÀuences behind speci¿c traditional dishes, as well as how recipes have been modi¿ed over time. We have regular food tastings. We take particular pleasure in discovering the heritage of traditional ethno-cuisines of our ancestors. Does IGA participate in events and conferences? C/E/M-27 May 15
Indra Ketaren: President of Indonesia Gastronomic Association Indra Ketaren was born in Medan and brought up in Bremen, Germany; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and in Jakarta. Growing up in Europe, his family often traveled around the European Union and Eastern Europe. After studying international relations at the Socio-Political Faculty of Pajajaran University in Bandung from 1976 to 1982, Indra worked in the Indonesian Foreign Service and in the commodities and trade ¿nancing import/export sector. In 2016, he founded the Indonesian Gastronomy Association (IGA) in Jakarta with the mission of promoting and preserving the art of Indonesia’s traditional cooking and to establish a national database and referral service. What inspired you to establish the IGA? I was motivated by the fact that Indonesian gastronomy is not widely known and cultural and historical information about the country’s cuisines is still very limited. Though the public often equates culinary with gastronomy, the de¿nitions of the two words are actually quite different. Culinary, deriving from the latin cullina or “kitchen,” is all about cooking, while gastronomy refers to the practice of choosing, cooking and eating good food. Gastronomy has become part of Indonesian daily life. Indonesians themselves often do not realize the colorful background and long history behind the dishes that are served in front of them. Do you work with any other organizations? I am founder of Akademi Gastronomi Indonesia (AGI) but currently I’m more focused on IGA. AGI and IGA are organizations of culinary connoisseurs. Some members of IGA are board members of the Indonesian Chef Association (ICA). ICA is an organization of food processing professionals. Were there challenges you faced when setting up the association? When I started up IGA, it was at times dif¿cult to distinguish between those members who genuinely wanted to promote the ideals of the organization and those who only had their self-interest at heart and only wanted to use the organization to further their own personal business interests or to publicize themselves at the expense of the organization. Why is food so important to Indonesia’s sense of nationhood? IGA’s motto “.. every food has a story ..” (omnis cibus habet fabula) means that there is a deep history in a national cuisine, which even dictates behavior and adat laws. Food is used as a powerful symbol in the rituals, folklore and customs of hundreds of ethnic groups here. A country’s food is inextricably bound up with a people’s sense of self and in their character. It’s my belief that our wonderful food contributes mightily to our identity as a nation. This intangible nature of food is rarely talked about in Western gastronomic circles. How many members are in IGA? Of¿cially 138 members, excluding some high of¿cials in government and other notable people who do not want their names mentioned. If you include everybody, our membership totals 195 members. The organization also accepts foreign members residing in Indonesia who have a strong interest in Indonesian food culture.
We try to promote the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Indonesian cuisine to the rest of the world by attending international gastronomic promotions, exhibitions, food festivals and culinary events and participating in joint promotions with Indonesian embassies abroad. In February 2015, I represented AGI at Madrid Fusion in Spain and enrolled AGI as a member in the International Academy of Gastronomy in Paris in the same year. I also helped prepare an Indonesian culinary event at the Indonesian Embassy in Madrid. What are your personal favorite dishes? Indonesia is so rich in regional foods spread throughout the 1,340 tribes and sub-tribes and thousands of islands from Sabang to Merauke that it is dif¿cult to choose just one or two favorites. I am especially partial to Javanese and Minangkabau cooking. At home, the easiest and quickest dish to prepare is of course nasi goreng. The most dif¿cult are Minangkabau recipes. What book has had a big inÀuence on you? Because of my special interest in Indonesian gastronomy, I learn more from Indonesian language books written by Indonesian authors. In my opinion the best book is Upaboga Di Indonesia: Ensiklopedia Pangan & Kumpulan Resep (Gaya Favorit Press 2003) by the late Suryatini N. Ganie, a leading light in Indonesia gastronomy and founder of the Gastronomic Institution of Indonesia (Lembaga Gastronomi Indonesia).
C/E/I-30 March 16
How does Indonesian cuisine differ from other cuisines? Apart from local cuisines developed by native Indonesians, there have been signi¿cant contributions to the national cuisine made by Malay, Chinese, Indian, Arab and European colonists and settlers in the archipelago, even long before the Republic of Indonesia ever came into being. These ethnic inÀuences, handed down from generation to generation, have given Indonesian cuisine its own distinctive character.. The cultural mix has given rise to the great variety found in Indonesian cooking. For example, some dishes tend to spicy, fatty and very spicy, while others have none of these characteristics. Our organization encourages cooperation between Indonesia’s regional governments to preserve the rich heritage of traditional foods inspired by our ancestors, with a special emphasis on rare and little known dishes. Do you feel that foreigners appreciate Indonesian food?
C/E/G-14 Oct. 15
Based on the experiences Indonesians present at such international events as ITB Berlin, Madrid Fusion, Milan Expo, Gastronomie Jaarbeurs, etc., there is always an enthusiastic reception for Indonesian food by attendees. Moreover, Indonesian diaspora communities in the USA and Australia regularly organize food festivals, which are warmly received by locals. Many Indonesian embassies in the EU hold culinary events, which are also eagerly attended by local communities. Where do you ¿nd the most authentic Indonesian food? For Indonesia’s best-tasting food, venture out to local eateries (warung or rumah makan), night markets (pasar malam) and street stalls. There you’ll ¿nd food that tastes much better than what you’ll ¿nd in tourist restaurants and at a fraction of the cost. What is your favorite restaurant in Bali? I really like the superb food and nice atmosphere of Bloem’s Waroeng Restaurant in Kedonganan. Where can one learn more about IGA? Email me at indraket@gmail.com. My Indonesian gastronomy blog is http://gastroina.blogspot.co.id. Our members communicate through a Google Group and a WhatsApp Group.

Garden Shangri Las: Bali’s Agrotourism & Biodiversity Parks On an island where every patch of land is protected and coveted, Bali’s nurseries, botanical gardens, seed prorogation facilities and plant conservation sites play a decisive role in raising public awareness and preserving the island’s genetic varieties of local, rare and endemic plants. Though the wildly fragmented insular nation of Indonesia is a land of mega biodiversity, the attrition rate of these irreplaceable plant species is progressing at whirlwind speed due to habitat loss, pressures of human population and climate change. We are not talking about endangered woodland rarities dug from the wild by pithhelmeted horticulture professors but triedand-true natives that are important sources of food, fibers, medicines and materials for offerings in religious ceremonies. Not just meant for plant breeding, these garden oases are also centers for economic activity, education and scienti¿c research on sustainable agricultural diversity so that future generations will understand the true extent of the Indonesia’s astounding Àoral abundance. Food has become a huge topic of conversation as people begin to think more and more about their food choices. Bali’s most promising sustainable tourism success stories – by sheer volume of visitors - are villages offering rice ¿eld walks, herb walks, garden walks, visits to working farms, coffee tastings and family homestays. “Experience” tourism is a robust and growing industry, a holiday stop that is a little out of the ordinary for visitors and residents alike. Agro-tourism enables farmers to supplement their income by showing methods of cultivating and processing coffee, cocoa, tea, cloves and other spices. Dozen of agro-tourist “Nature Gardens” and “Coffee Tasting Experiences” are scattered all over the southern slopes of Bali’s central mountain range far away from the main urban centers. Sadly, though they can potentially be powerful educational tools, many of these agro-tourist attractions are no less than civet coffee tasting tourist traps. The worst have nothing more than a few mangy plants, a dejected collection of caged animals and totally fraudulent sales routines designed to persuade guileless visitors into buying ridiculously overpriced teas and coffees. In all of them the drill is much the same. You ¿rst walk through a rather small ‘farm’ of coffee, cocoa, cassava, durian, ginger plants and fruit trees. Because the tourist season is year round, the plants can either be in immature or in full bloom. Though led by a friendly but slightly burnt out and scripted guides, these plantation tours are enjoyable and offer a big environmental payoff for the city-weary. For those unfamiliar with Tropical Asia, it’s exotic and informative. Koi swim about in pools and kids feed the ¿sh to the delight of the patrons. These agro farmlettes have sprung up along the route of many paid drivers or tour guides who receive a 10% to 20% kickback on the sales of anything visitors buy. The gardens/farms are often innocently recommended as a “coffee stop.” Typically located on the way to Mount Batur or Lovina, they have big convenient parking lots and entrance is free. Guests get to view the whole coffee roasting process in a crude clay pot over an open ¿re in a rustic outdoor kitchen. Beans are sieved and pounded, the same method as is found in any Balinese village. The highlight is a tasting tray with 6-8 Àavors of coffees and teas that is brought to you in a relaxed and picturesque café with giddy views. Visitors have fun tasting the different beverages and learning about various medicinal effects. The price for sampling cups of roasted luwak (civet) coffee is de¿nitely in the tourist bandwidth, averaging around Rp50,000. The 100% black coffee is outstanding and you are urged to buy more in the gift shop where the purchase of a few packets can turn out to be your most costly coffee break ever. Behind all the natural beauty is cruel exploitation. Visitors are often put off and even disgusted at the sorry state of the caged civets. Some even consider it immoral consuming coffee from the
digestive tract of these svelte nocturnal creatures. Only afterwards do visitors have mixed feelings when they learn how the animals are kept in small cages when they should be free to climb trees. Fed a restricted diet of sweet potatoes and coffee berries, these nocturnal mammals produce the world’s highest priced coffee processed from their dried feces. Yet guests are having such a good time, the scenery is so pleasing and the hosts so agreeable that they hardly notice (until after the fact) that they have spent far too much in the overpriced souvenir shops selling a range of expensive products where a token packet of kopi luwak can set you back as much as Rp200,000 per 100 grams. Stories are told that when some visitors get home the coffee that they had bought - ¿lled with a tiny amount of instant coffee mixed with cheap creamer - is not the same as the coffee that they tasted. Still, if visitors don’t spend too much money, these “farms” are worth spending an hour or so learning about the local produce and farming. They are better than nothing. Biodiversity Parks Agrotourism farms have an indirect role in preserving the island’s diverse plant gene p o o l s , b u t B a l i ’s biodiversity parks ( t a m a n keanekaragaman hayati) are speci¿cally designed to safeguard rare endemic plants and long-lived perennials (not transient novelties) that are fast disappearing and increasingly dif¿cult to ¿nd for Bali Hindu religious rituals. These community-base collaborative conservation zones are located in areas inside and outside of forests safe from Bali’s creeping development. It’s been said that one-third of the average Balinese woman’s life is spent preparing for a ceremony, participating in a ceremony or cleaning up after a ceremony. Women make offerings (canang) every ¿ve days, every full moon, every new moon. Whenever there’s an event or ceremony in the banjar or at the local temple, they prepare for that, too. Rising early, women are the ones who make sure the offerings are complete. Using plants imported from Banyuwangi (East Java), each canang costs around Rp10,000. This expensive and time-consuming daily regimen has given rise to a culture of ritual poverty. Women are made poorer by all the offerings they have to make. In former times Bali’s native grown fruits were used as offerings, but over time these fruits became more dif¿cult to ¿nd. As a result, over the past decade, women have begun to switch over to using expensive imported fruits such as Sunkist oranges, pears from China, apples from Washington. It became a status symbol to display imported fruits in offerings. It has been wryly suggested that Balinese women are actually feeding the American gods and the New Zealand gods as the Balinese gods aren’t familiar with imported fruits.
The trend now is to use only locally grown fruits, a return to tradition. The Àowers, leaves and fruits – important components of any religious ritual - should actually be home grown. You honor the gods by offering what you grow. Because it’s so emotionally, ¿nancially and physically exhausting, the work carried out in Bali’s biodiversity parks, initiated by the local women, have begun to lessen the huge burden of a family’s spiritual obligations. The biggest driver of this trend is economical. By sourcing plant materials from the parks, families no longer need to spend such exorbitant amounts of money on offerings. A valuable learning experience can be had at biodiversity gardens where plants for rituals and plants for commercial sale are sold - in all about 100 varieties. These community initiatives, which help supplement family incomes, were built with the assistance of corporate funding and support of regency and municipal governments, private NGOs and Udayana University’s Kehati Biodiversity Institute (www.kehati.or.id). Seeds are donated by government agricultural agencies.
Aside from cultivating bananas, mango, coconuts, Àowers, native rice varieties and many of the 491 known species of medicinal plants found in Bali, these parks also conduct agricultural and ecotourism training programs. Balinese farmers realize that food can be produced cheaper in Java. As the island’s urban areas gobble up more rice ¿elds and gardens, they know they need to produce food that is more diversi¿ed, has more value and is more nutritious. The small 1.5-sq.-ha Bumi Banten Renon, established in 2010, is in Banjar Kelod, Pakraman Renon. This park is stuffed with sandat, magnolia, marigold, oleander and wild mangosteen; rare endemics like pacar air (Impatiens balsamina); fruit trees gourka, badung (Garcinia dulcis), gelicung, kepundung (Baccaurea racemosa); jasmine-like menuri whose petals are used in the ngaben cremation ritual; mundeh and leket trees that formerly grew all over the island. An irrigation system was installed to grow varieties of pandanus. Another 6.5-hectare park in the Selat Forest serves as a safe harbor for such rare vascular plants as the konjaku, a kind of edible bulb. The 8-ha Pupuan Biodiversity Park specializes in the cultivation and conservation of a vast array of rare and endangered plants and fruits and the cultivation of the tabah bamboo species (Gigantochioa nigrociliata). Bambu Tabuh, which grows to heights of 13-14 m, is only native to the Pupuan area. When bamboo stands were threatened by expanding coffee and fruit tree plantations, an enterprise selling bamboo shoots was established. Of great environmental bene¿t, the ¿brous tabah root system absorbs water, which helps to prevent erosion. Tabah bamboo is also popularly used for graceful penjor, a required decoration in the Galungan/Kuningan festivals; in the making of the tinkling rindik xylophonic musical instrument and other handicrafts. The mother of all of Bali’s public gardens - and the ultimate botanical learning experience - is the magnificent Kebun Raya Botanical Gardens on the cool volcanic slopes of 2,065-m-high G. Pohon just 10 minutes from Lake Bratan. Situated at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,450 meters, this 157-ha garden of 20,000 plant specimens features collections of orchids, ceremonial and medicinal plants, cactus and aquatics; lilies, poinsettias; bougainvillea and begonias. Managed by scientists from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Kebon Raya offers educational programs that teach students about the fascinating world of plants and their importance to all life on earth. Scienti¿c facilities include herbarium, seed bank, glasshouses, nurseries and a plant database. IDEP’s Permaculture Centre in Batuan specializes in seed saving, compost and soil rehabilitation and permaculture practices. For IDEP’s various programs, check out http://www.idepfoundation. org. Benhi Bali (www.benihbali.org) is another organization that offers a range of programs on sustainable agro-biodiversity and skill building hands-on workshops. Recently they held a traditional seed saving course that taught the botany of seed, its role in plant reproduction, how to encourage seed production in a home garden and how to harvest and store seeds. Knowledge is critical to any conservation effort. At farmers markets you can’t really see how gardeners operate, how a farm functions, reduces waste, saves energy and everything else that needs to be accomplished to put food on the table. As earth-aware consumers, we want to see up close where our food actually comes from. At community- and government supported gardens, we can witness the vigor of Bali’s locally grown, sustainable native Àora plucked from the vine, ¿nd satisfaction getting our hands dirty and rediscover the joy of spending time outdoors. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2016 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE APRIL 13 - APRIL 27, 2016
This fortnight includes our Full Moon in Scorpio and the Sun’s movement into the sign of Taurus. Mars will turn retrograde until the end of June and re-enter the sign of Scorpio at the end of May. Pluto also goes retrograde around the same time and with Mars as the lower octave of the transformer we will be a part of a massive review and overhaul when it comes to acting on those deeper emotional and financial issues. This is a time, over the next few months; through to August/September when we get to delve into the hidden aspects of life and confront issues around sex and death. It’s interesting to note that the pair turns retrograde just before this Full Moon in Scorpio. Pay attention to themes that started at the beginning of the month and that highlight now on this Full Moon, keeping in mind that our New Moon was joining the now waning Pluto/Uranus square. This then is part of a much bigger cycle which began back in 2011. It could be the continuation of the same life dramas, stresses, growth patterns and challenges. Venus in Aries now joins Uranus on the Full Moon and brings our most personal of relationships and those values we hold most dear to confront Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury the communicator in that very practical sign of Taurus is in harmony with the Node of the Moon and the destiny points and Pluto. This earth trine will bring some stability to the otherwise unstable environment. FULL MOON 2 Scorpio 31 April 22, 2016 1:25 p.m.
Venus joins Uranus in your sign on the Full Moon and brings the potential of some unexpected romance. As you reshape and review your value system this month there may be a change of course with regard to your career or vocation options. You are ready to talk about these changes in a way that supports or is even more supportive of your current work commitments. The Full Moon brings a depth of feeling and the possibility of sexual intimacy that goes much deeper than normal. As you push forward to embrace more of your true nature you continue to confront the boundaries and restrictions enforced by others. As the Sun enters your sign you will feel as though you are emerging from an internal World and out now into the light of day. This often happens just before our Birthday as we complete one solar cycle and make ready to enter the next. There’s a higher or more philosophical edge to your heart interests this month and you may want to keep things hidden from the prying eyes of others. Discussions around children and your own personal preferences would be well supported this fortnight. With the Full Moon in your relationship house you can share the deeper aspects and emotional content with your beloved without compromise. Mercury your ruler is well placed on the Full Moon and supports your move towards deep family reconciliation. There is a powerful force at work which promises to open the situation to encompass the individuality and personal love choices for all concerned. As you feel into your Buddha nature this coming month you express the compassion and understanding that is needed to support the next phase of your journey. Your friends and community are more important than ever and as you allow your work to go to the next level of transformation you will be inspired to lead the group into a deep upward spiral. Service is the key word. This powerful Full Moon is highlighting romance for the Cancer native. Be mindful of the how the developing relationship scenario will impact your career choices and sense of freedom in the future. These coming months will bring a great deal of movement, communication and media/marketing potential to your life and partnerships. Perhaps there is a deal to be made with friends or someone within your community. Friendships are important at this time and so too is your sense of personal expression and development. If you are currently focused on getting ahead by your own merit, then this is ok too. Your values are strong right now and require recognition. The polarity between your work life and home life is obvious around the Full Moon and your communications will centre on how you can better your situation financially and transform your day to day work. There’s a strong sense of love for the concept of travel and you value your foreign connections more than ever before. Internal stresses can arise with the conflict between what you feel you must do as opposed to what you would truly love to do. This is the time to release anything that isn’t in alignment with what you would hold dear for yourself and to encourage others to do the same thing wherever possible. This is the time for those discussions which will solidify your choices and create a platform to express your own needs and desires and as well elevate personal issues to a higher level. For those dealing with children this is a great time to talk through the practical details. You will be feeling emotionally expressive during this Full Moon and as well revisiting those same old relationship glitches. The difference now is that you will be able to shift things into a more workable format and actually make strides forward with your own personal healing. Remember we are in for a review period that is sure to make the going slow.
Venus joins Uranus on the Full Moon and can bring some unexpected and very welcome romantic interludes. Let them not distract you from the work at hand though as tough as the challenge may be, you can keep yourself focused on your daily responsibilities as well. This could be the time to have those discussions around shared finances and also material possessions or what you want to acquire. There is the potential for you to get things stable if you allow yourself the necessary time for some quiet introspection. In this space you can discern what stays and what goes and the trends which got you to this intersection.

The Scorpio/Taurus axis allows you the time to sort out your own needs as opposed to those of the people closest to you and to speak about them. Deep discussions may ensue and yet you are no stranger to these emotional waters. There is something, like an inner urge pushing you towards the work of your very soul and this revolves around your community, groups and friends. Take the time to ponder the deep stuff and talk it through. Your work motives are innovative and pioneering and this places you on the leading edge when it comes to your modalities. You are dealing with situations involving your children and co-parenting. This is a mystical Full Moon for you and one that will bring a balance to your daily work round. There can be much to discuss in the area of career and finances and this is a good time to get yourself a solid base from which to launch the next phase of your life. You are still in the healing phase of ancestral and recent family wounds and a gentle way of being will ensure beneficial results for you and your loved ones. You have a fierce independent streak and are reflected back by the children around you. Any arguments that may try to erupt will come through the sharing of resources and money matters. As you assert your own agenda you may find resistance from the home environment or the family. The New Moon will shed some light on community based gatherings and you will find that you are more outspoken than normal when it comes to your own higher ideals, beliefs and ideologies. You are in a time which brings higher ways of thinking to the fore as you have been witness to the pain that can occur through the repetition of the same old protocol. Emotional pain or grief is often a shared thing, particularly when it is based on a common tragedy or the death of an influential person. As the Full Moon illuminates the way ahead with regard to your career or path in the World, you may feel strong emotions arising. The sharing of the deeper aspects of you will surely bring about a further transformation on this journey. You can be a very sentimental person and your core values run closer to the heart than to the mind. Although this may feel like a particularly intense time in your life the next couple of years promise to reveal many valuable insights that will stay with you for the rest of your life. This is a good time to delve more deeply into those things which truly interest or matter to you.

The travel bug could hit this fortnight or you may be emotionally connected to those in foreign countries. You may be feeling a little feisty with a strong desire to change things in your local environment or to speak up for those without a voice of their own. There’s a strong affiliation with particular people in your life at the moment and some profound one-on-one relationships revealing the way ahead for you both. Much of your personal past is being revealed and there will be strong emotions stirred through the memories that are provoked. Past relationship healing will bring a little more discernment and practicality into your future relationships.

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris
Micro-Greens = Easiest, Healthiest, Most Nutritional Garden You Could Ever Grow Micro-vegetables are at the top of the list as one of the more curious of the latest food fads. It used to be that you produced micro-vegetables when you neglected your garden......but these days it’s becoming a huge industry speci¿cally for the novelty value of having a garnish of micro carrots, radishes etc. usually limited to the highest of high end restaurants at the moment. I was recently reading about a soon to be listed produce company (on the Australian stock exchange) that have genetically engineered micro-cucumbers amongst many other things, I won’t name the ‘said’ company because they’re obviously wealthy enough without me giving them additional free advertising here. At present 2000 seeds (equates to 30grams) of the micro-cucumbers can be packed into a small plastic sandwich bag and retail for up to $2000.
a plastic cover, not only do you get the greenhouse effect, you will also have the advantage of keeping the pests out. Micro-greens are the fastest way to leafy greens - they can be made into salads or added to soups and mains. At micro stage they contain the essence of their fully grown selves, only more concentrated - not be confused with sprouts (germinated seeds raised in water- eaten root, seed and shoot).Whilst having a Àavour advantage numerous studies have also shown that micro-greens in general contained considerably higher levels of vitamins - average ¿ve times greater - than their mature plant counterparts.
On the brighter side I guess if this fad takes over we’ll all easily be able to get our 5 servings of fruit and veg per day, if you can afford it that is! This micro vegetable fad usually requires genetically modi¿ed seed at high cost and low yield (by weight), de¿nitely not ideal for a sustainable agricultural environment. On the other hand, of all the micro-fads I can at least accommodate the micro greens - primarily because they are packed full of nutrition and you can also easily grow them yourself for less than a few dollars on a windowsill at home!
Micro-greens Full of Àavour and nutrition, expensive to buy yet easily grown at home. This is news is great for apartment dwellers limited to a windowsill or balcony garden. All you will need is a shallow container, some soil and seeds then pop it on a windowsill or out on the balcony, you can also grow them out in the open garden if you so desire. You will tend to get the best out of micro-greens by raising them in seed trays with
When to harvest? Your micro-greens will be ready to harvest within as little as two to three weeks after planting, sometimes up to a month depending on the plants you have selected. Look for the ¿rst set of ‘true leaves’ as a sign of readiness, then take your scissors and snip them just above the soil line as needed. Harvest and serve them immediately for the best Àavour and nutritional content, add to soups, salads, sandwiches or mains. Store the excess in a plastic bag in the fridge. More and more these days, people are looking to source their produce from sustainable small scale organic operators who literally produce in a large garden. Industrial scale farms produce a single type of crop or monoculture over a large area that will only attract pests and thus necessitate poisons to be used on the resulting ‘food’. The most sustainable healthy produce can be grown by you yourself, plus you have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what, or rather what didn’t go into it!
Further Nutritional Information A team of scientists from the University of Maryland in the U.S. and the USDA discovered that in general micro-greens had considerably higher nutritional densities than their mature counterparts. This large-scale micro-green study was published in the August 2012 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
At those rates the seeds alone are worth almost twice the current price of gold by weight, and there is no word yet on the taste or nutritional content, this is purely for eye catching novelty value.. who knows perhaps in the future the latest micro-cumber earrings will be all the rage.....and if they don’t look like gold they’d want to at least taste like it! Are people seriously prepared to pay those prices for just a tiny weenie micro-cucumber.... either some people have too much money and don’t know what to do with it, or the world has gone mad.....probably both! There are plenty of people in every city and nation of the world, that don’t have enough food to eat on a day-to-day basis... yet we can afford to produce these micro-cucumber thingies?
C/Ho/G-8 July 15
Notable ¿ndings from the study:
How to grow? Salad greens, leafy vegetables, herbs and even edible Àowers can be grown as micro-greens, though some varieties are better suited than others. Start by growing one type of seed per container, such as basil, bok-choi, broccoli, cauliÀower, celery, coriander, kale, parsley, rocket, radish, sunÀower etc. (You can easily grow different seeds in multiple containers, and mix after harvesting.) Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Dampen the soil with a mister daily whilst waiting for the sprouts to appear (within 3-10 days). Keep the soil moist but not wet. Micro-greens need a few hours of daily direct sunlight to thrive, and can also be also be grown outdoors in the garden, under shade if the climate is suitable. Growing micro greens is so much easier than growing plants to maturity. Whilst growing a full vegetable garden can require daily care, commitment and energy for months on end, a micro-green garden can be grown from seed to harvest in just 2-3 weeks – which means less time to neglect it, or have it raided by pests. If you grow it indoors on a windowsill you also won’t have to worry about temperature extremes of heat or Àooding rains. If you grow in a mini-greenhouse – which could be as simple as a tray with plastic wrap as a cover – then it will almost look after itself.
Vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin E levels were highest among red cabbage, garnet amaranth, and green daikon radish microgreens. Red cabbage micro-greens had 40 times more vitamin E and 6 times more vitamin C compared to mature red cabbage. Cilantro micro-greens had three times more beta-carotene compared to mature cilantro, they were also richest in terms of lutein and beta-carotene. The micro-green sample that had the lowest levels of vitamin C still contained 20 milligrams per 100 grams – almost twice the amount of vitamin C found in the same weight of tomatoes. The study found that in some cases nutritional content was 4-6 times more concentrated in micro-greens than in the leaves of a mature plant, thought to be because all of the nutrients required for continued growth to maturity are concentrated in a newly germinated plant. Flavour was also found to be good. ‘All of these nutrients are extremely important for skin, eyes and ¿ghting cancer and have all sorts of bene¿ts associated with them,” says researcher Gene Lester, PhD, of the USDA.

TREASURE NO MORE Back in 1994 while wandering through the Russian market in Phnom Penh I found two dusty wood-bound lontars stuck behind some cracked pots. The tired looking woman who owned the stall had no idea where they had come from or what the story might be, but the price was $10 each. Why was she selling the sacred Buddhist texts, I asked. Shouldn’t they be in a monastery? She shrugged and hitched her sleeping baby higher on her shoulder. Years of genocide under the Pathet Lao had killed a quarter of the country’s population, including most of the monks. No one could read the lontars any more. They were irrelevant. I bought one and took it home to Singapore to join my growing collection of Old Things. On the same trip I acquired a battered wooden rabbit with an iron scraper set into its nose; in the old days children would squat on it to grate coconut. Some beautifully carved loom shuttles, polished with long use. Oh, and a rice reaper and an antique silk sarong. I couldn’t bear to leave them there.
In the west, baby boomers are retiring and downsizing and have no space for their parents’ furniture. My mother agonised when the family home was sold because she had only one silver tea service and three daughters. It soon became clear that I was the only one who wanted it and we all politely declined to take on her huge collection of porcelain cups and saucers. Remember those? A couple of years ago I wrote about Komang Ary, a young Balinese collector of local antiquities who has a fascinating gallery in Lod Tunduh. “The Balinese don’t care about old things,” he told me. “International collectors are keen to buy them but the Balinese place little value on their antiquities.” Of the wealth of Balinese artefacts including costumes, ritual masks, carvings, paintings, metalwork, jewellery, textiles, and decorated wood and stonework, much has been lost through disinterest and neglect.
I’m increasingly alone in my fascination for Old Things. Young people are rarely interested in stuff from the past. Friends in England emptying their parents’ houses ¿nd few customers for the antique furniture. In fact, antique shops are snapping shut on both sides of the Atlantic. According to a story in the Economist last year, the Parisian antiques centre called the Louvre des Antiquaires used to have hundreds of dealers; now only six remain and the owner plans to turn the space into a high-end fashion store. London’s Fulham Road, once lined with antique stores, now has only three. The antiques trade requires a lot of space for storage and retail; an item may have to be held for years before the right buyer comes along. That model is no longer viable in these days of fast living and high rents. It seems that the big money today is in contemporary art, jewellery and wine.
Under the direction of General Chiang Kai-shek many items were taken from Nanjing to Taiwan for safekeeping before the Cultural Revolution. A total of 2,972 crates of artefacts from the Forbidden City were moved to Taiwan; because of ¿ghting, less than a quarter of the collection arrived safely in Taipei where it’s displayed in the National Palace Museum. Interestingly, in the world of contemporary antique collection, Chinese antiques are the only items that are moving. Wealthy Chinese customers are now purchasing pieces that connect them with their past, almost always buying them back from Westerners. Prices for the best pieces of Chinese furniture are at least ten times higher than a decade ago, says Nick Wilson, a China specialist at Christie’s, and furniture has risen more than any category of Chinese art in the past ¿ve years.
After 25 years in Asia I have a lot of Old Things. I downsized drastically in 2000 when I moved to Bali but still hoard some treasures. Old wooden chops, a century-old shop house sign and a set of lead opium weights shaped as tiny graduated elephants linked trunk to tail. A Tibetan tea bowl and tinder pouch, round red lacquer boxes from Burma, a stacked Chinese wedding basket, textiles. Several Persian carpets, much the worse for 15 years of dogs in various stages of indigestion, teething and house training. I sleep in a gorgeous gilded Peranakan bed with an old Balinese kris on its shelf to guard me from harm. Why choose something new and mass-produced instead of one that’s handcrafted and unique? I cook in my grandmother’s cast iron frying pan and make tea in my other grandmother’s silver plated tea pot. And I’m currently building my Last House, a 75 year old joglo from Java.
Perhaps no revocation of the old has been as dramatic as the Chinese Cultural Revolution between 1966 and 1976 when inestimable damage was done to much of China’s antiquities and cultural heritage. Antiques were destroyed in unimaginable quantities. Chinese literature, scrolls and other classics were burned, paintings torn apart, murals defaced and priceless porcelains shattered to pieces. Tangible history in large batches was lost forever. By the end of the Cultural Revolution, 4922 of the 6843 sites in Beijing of¿cially designated as of ‘historical interest’ had been destroyed.
A century ago, many pieces were stolen by Dutch residents from homes and temples and sold to collectors in Europe. A concerned Dutchman created the Museum Negeri Propinsi Bali as a conservation centre in 1910. It was used mainly for storage until 1932 when Walter Spies and some other residents created an ethnographic museum of Balinese antiquities and cultural objects. There’s also a private museum of Balinese folk art in Denpasar. Pejeng (and its small, poorly curated museum) is located at the heart of the so-called archaeological ‘golden triangle’ which includes Bedulu, Tampaksiring, Gunung Kawi and Tirta Empul. Near these 10th century monuments, farmers still plough up ancient stone carvings in the rice ¿elds. I showed some pictures of these to my housekeeper Wayan Manis who con¿rmed Komang Ary’s statement. “Balinese people don’t care about this. We only like new things.” “I’ve been accused of selling and exploiting my culture,” said Komang Ary. “But the truth is that the Balinese don’t want or value these antiquities, which are often abandoned and destroyed by the elements. By buying them, I can preserve them. I want to teach and inÀuence the Balinese to value their arts heritage and give it the prestige it deserves. These days, most Balinese would rather spend their money on a Harley or some other western icon than an artefact.”
Our children live in small Àats these days and often have no dining room at all; they shop at Ikea. But recycled furniture is much easier on the planet than new. Perhaps today’s socially and environmentally conscious young will recognise the appeal of buying a table or chair that exists already and is handcrafted from high-quality wood, rather than one that required a new tree to be cut down and may have been manufactured in poor working conditions. I try to be philosophical. I have no one to whom I can leave all my Old Stuff, so heaven knows where it will end up. I use and enjoy these wonderful old things, imbued as they are with generations of skill and human energy. They will be treasured on my shift.

Inventions Indebted to Bamboo – by Peripatete Bamboo is the world’s fastest-growing plant, with a potentially in¿nite number of applications. In this column, we explore stories about the ever-ubiquitous bamboo - from Bali and around the world. In the late 19th century, two of the world’s most celebrated scientists and inventors, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Alva Edison, are known to have experimented with a ¿ber that was, back then, little known in the western world: bamboo. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was a Scottish-born scientist and educator, best known as one of the primary inventors of the telephone. But his other scientific and humanitarian contributions have been no less noteworthy; including the re¿nement of the phonograph. While developing his first phonograph needle, Bell experimented with a range of materials and settled on a sharpened sliver of bamboo. That needle was patented in 1907 by an American company, then available for sale – at 1000 needles for $4 each. Bamboo (or fiber) needles were considerably more expensive than the more common steel needles used at the time; but the upside was that ¿ber outlasted metal. Steel needles needed to be changed regularly whereas bamboo needles could be sharpened and re-used. Some companies designed records with bamboo needles in mind, claiming that the ¿ber’s oily quality acted as a lubricant which would polish and smooth grooves each time a record was played. The downside was that the softer quality of bamboo dulled the sound, and contributed to notable volume loss. Over time, ¿ber-based needles faded from use. An American company based in Wisconsin is possibly the only remaining source of bamboo phonograph needles. As a member of the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA), Bell was also involved in the design of early aircraft. From kites to gliders, the AEA’s projects expanded in scale, eventually progressing to the design of small planes. The ¿rst biplane was called Red Wing; powered by a small air-cooled engine, its frame was made of bamboo. On March 12, 1908, the Red Wing took off on the ¿rst public Àight in North America. Then came the Silver Dart. Under Bell’s leadership, the Silver Dart was the AEA’s final aircraft design, embodying all of the advancements found in the earlier machines. Constructed in late 1908, the frame and structure of the Silver Dart were made of steel tube, friction tape, wire, wood and bamboo. Like other aircraft at the time, the plane had no brakes. On February 23, 1909, in the midst of a harsh winter, Bell watched the Silver Dart lift off, becoming the ¿rst controlled powered Àight in Canada. THOMAS ALVA EDISON Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) was born and home-schooled in Ohio, where he developed a serious interest in science and the world. These early interests are said to have laid the groundwork for his pursuit of numerous inventions.
Historians agree that Thomas Edison was not the inventor of the electric light bulb. (Light bulbs were experimented with as far back as 1802.) Although Edison did not invent the light bulb per se, he was responsible for designing the first commercially viable one – which meant it outlasted earlier inventions and was available for sale to the public. C/BT/G-20 Jan. 16
Edison’s first attempts at creating light ¿lament – the wire inside the bulb included experiments with platinum metals, carbonized cotton thread, paper and cardboard, various woods and fiber plants. Then, in 1880, after unsuccessfully trying out nearly 6,000 substances, Edison’s researchers were sent out to source the most suitable ¿lament material. One of them, William H. Moore, was dispatched to Japan, where two statesmen advised him to go to Kyoto. In an 1890 Harpers Monthly Magazine interview, Edison remarked that “every quarter of the globe was ransacked by my agents, and all sorts of the queerest materials were used, until ¿nally the shred of bamboo now utilized was settled upon.” That shred of bamboo was discovered by Moore on top of the “sacred Otokoyama Mountain” in Yawata, Kyoto. It was from a species of Japanese bamboo plant scienti¿cally referred to as Phyllostachys bambusoides but otherwise known by its common name as Ma-dake.

The electric bulb with the ¿lament of the Ma-dake bamboo of Ya w a t a l a s t e d over 1,000 hours. Edison soon b e g a n manufacturing commercial lamps using carbonized Japanese bamboo as ¿laments. Bamboo remained the favorite ¿lament substance for several decades, until supplanted by tungsten in 1910. In 1929, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Edison’s discovery, a monument was erected in his memory in Yawata, “for its noted bamboos which contributed to the invention of (the) incandescent electric bulb.” The monument displays a portrait of Thomas Edison, illuminated by bamboo lamp lights. In a 2012 article titled Forget Edison: This is How History’s Greatest Inventions Really Happened, the author writes that Edison’s contribution to the light bulb’s development was relatively minor. “He discovered that a special species of bamboo had a higher resistance to electricity than carbonized paper, which means it could more ef¿ciently produce light. Edison got rich off the bamboo, and ¿lthy disgusting rich from superior manufacturing and marketing of his product.” Edison’s carbonized bamboo ¿lament light bulb still burns today in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.

Mother’s Day Lunch (8 May) Although it is a tradition that honours one’s mother, in today’s diverse world honouring that special person who may not be a mother but ful¿lls such a valuable role that only a female mentor, role model or family member or friend could. Whoever that person is whether it is your mother or a caregiver this is the day to share our gratitude, appreciation and understanding the role she plays. Their role knows no boundaries and the unconditional love is constant. Mother’s day is that day to spoil our mother or a special friend. The tradition is celebrated in the months of March or May depending on the country around the world. Bridge’s restaurant are hosting a special celebration with CNN hero Ibu Robin Lim who I am sure most readers know. Another one of Bali’s outstanding members of the community and mother to many, Ibu Robin is famous worldwide for her continuous efforts to implement better health care for disadvantaged pregnant women focusing on natural births and child care in Bali and other areas where natural disasters occur. A portion of the cost of the meal will be donated to the Bumi Sehat foundation that help save the lives of mothers and babies every day. The executive chef has put together a scrumptious buffet that will be served at diners’ tables. Ibu Robin will be there to meet guests, live music will be performed by guitarist Yusuf Adi and vocalist Sondang Renata and a photography exhibition by David Metcalf will complete the afternoon. The setting is perfect in Bridge’s riverside dining room by the jungle and the Wos River. Bring your mum or another special female in your life and enjoy a relaxing afternoon with your loved one.

races and the unique culture that Bali boasts three hundred and sixty ¿ve days each year. Bali has to be one of the most diverse islands in the world and certainly has something to offer for everyone and plenty to explore off the beaten track. The idea behind the conference is to keep up to date with the latest technology in the promotion and sale of tourism which is central to the economy of Bali and other tourist destinations up and down the archipelago. According to the Local Business Guide to Indonesia, Indonesia aims to attract twenty million tourists by 2019 which sounds daunting. However, compared to its neighbours, Malaysia and Thailand reached over 25 million tourists by 2014. Speakers at the exhibition include key ¿gures in the Indonesian travel sector. If readers are interested in this segment of tourism and promoting their business through online marketing and sales then this may be of interest.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch
What does “kampungan” mean? “Kampungan banget sih!” This expression pops up frequently on Indonesian soaps. Kampung means ‘village’, so kampungan means ‘rural, ‘in the manner of the village’ or ‘village like’. Village-like could have negative connotations: agrarian (notably rice farming), communitybased, natural living, peaceful, living in balance with nature, growing your own produce, traditional art-forms inspired by nature. However, kampungan has tragically negative connotations in Indonesia: backwards, poor, uneducated, dark coloured skin (due to working outdoors dayin-day-out), uncivilized, old fashioned, illiterate, under-developed, regressive and dirty. The opposite expression, kekotaan (metropolitan) or kekinian (contemporary), however, has just the opposite connotation: modern, developed, progressive, educated, literate, trendy, wealthy, global, clean. The negative connotation has arisen for a number of reasons: 1. The agrarian sector has not been modernized; 2. Villages and their agrarian lifestyle has had little support from the government; 3. The villages are always the last areas to have modern infrastructure installed; 4. Some villages in Indonesia still have no electricity, running water, schools or modern healthcare services; 5. Lack of infrastructure and schools means lack of information, so many villagers don’t understand basic science and rely on religion and superstition to explain even basic, long proven natural phenomena. With a more progressive government (on some fronts), there are some signs of change but it will take time to change mind sets. The question remains, is it already too late? We have seen this phenomenon in countries like China where villagers flock to already crowded and polluted cities to seek out a “better” life and future for their children. In reality, there is great potential in a well organized village system and all those great things which have resulted from it: notably the subak system of irrigation in Bali; gamelan, dance and puppetry art-forms inspired by nature; a strong community system; local produce; arts and crafts; children’s songs and games – the list goes on. Balinese who live in the city and see other Balinese dumping trash in the rivers, empty lots, burning trash, spitting, or bathing in the rivers call them kampungan. They see these habits as being backwards and uncivilized; but, the real root of the problem is with infrastructure, education and health. If these things had reached the villages earlier, this assumption and potential local conflict would have never arisen. Complicated place this sprawling archipelago, and what a headache to clean up.

BA Feature Article Photographers as
Accidental Anthropologists If archaeology is the key that opens the door to the past and anthropology is the key to understanding the evolution of humanity, then photography could be considered the key to bringing awareness and appreciation of the work of those disciplines to the grateful attention of the public. Above all, photography has a close and strong link to anthropology. By de¿nition anthropology is the science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind. It is the analytical study of the nature and essence of humankind, their activities and their culture. And it is precisely the aspect of culture that unites the passions of anthropologists and photographers. The similarities between the anthropologist and the photographer are abundant. They both engage in exploring the cultural manifestations and rituals of a community or society in the capacity of outsider, witness and reporter. They both record for prosperity. They both exhibit inquisitiveness and passion and create insights, not only into the human aspect but also into the environment in which these humans operate. Anthropology as well as photography can be an ideal context for studying issues of cultural identity and expression, political economy, social change and development, and natural resource management. Through their camera’s lens, photographers seem to answer as many questions as they ask. They record play, culture and ritual and inÀuence how culture is represented and perceived. In his book Photography and Anthropology, author Christopher Pinney presents a provocative and readable account of the strikingly parallel histories of the two disciplines, as well as a polemical narrative and overview of the use of photography by anthropologists from the 1840s to the present. Pinney explores photography as a conjectural practice that prompted anthropologists to capture the “primitive” lives of those they studied. Photography has always been the handmaiden of serious anthropologists. That is how they have recorded and documented the essence of the humanity they studied. Prior to the advent and development of photography as a recording medium, most anthropologists relied on sketches, paintings and drawings to illustrate their ¿ndings and share them with the world at large. Many explorers and anthropologists engaging in ¿eldwork had talented illustrators on their team. Published books and papers on their explorations and archives in colonial museums all over the world hold a treasure trove of these drawings and illustrations. These were the early “photographic” evidence of other cultures, civilizations, tribes and nations. That’s how the western world was able to picture and gaze at the noble or ferocious savages, the heathens, the other-world beings in need of religion and civilization. The success of early photographic works stemmed from the public’s desire to see what these savages or exotics looked like, to assuage the innate curiosity about other worlds and other beings, so alien to their own. The exotic and the different were big attractions. Witness the continuing success of a book like Bali Paradise by German doctor Gregor Krause who published his photos successfully in Europe in the 1920s and signi¿cantly contributed to the stampede of tourists to Bali. He may be one of the earliest known examples of photographer as incidental anthropologist. His book not only records people in their natural environment, it also informs us of the local religious and cultural practices of the time. Bali has been a favorite subject of study and recording for both anthropologists and photographers. Margaret Mead and George Bateson took on both roles in their work and left us with some valuable insights through their pictures. The earliest recording and documentary evidence of Bali culture has been through the famous lontar manuscripts, some of which also contained detailed
drawings. But for the purpose of this article we will stick with photographic documentation which has become proli¿c in our time. To keep matters tidy and contained we will also limit ourselves to the art of anthropological photography as practiced in Bali by a few expat and local photographers who have explored these issues with an inquisitiveness and passion that does honor to their role as accidental anthropologists. In no small measure do they contribute to our understanding and appreciation of this unique culture. It’s a given that they create insights. But do they also construct ethnic stereotypes? Though there are many similarities between anthropologists and photographers, it should be noted that the use of photography by professional anthropologists is necessarily slanted to the theme, topic and focus of their studies. The main difference between them as professionals is that photographers try to capture a moment, one small part of an essence, whereas anthropologists try to capture more general proclivities of the culture or object in their visor. Contrary to anthropologists, photographers allow themselves a far broader m a n d a t e . Because they are free-roaming and liberated from the constraints of thematic studies or projects as ordained by the institutions which direct anthropologist ¿eldwork, they can capture moods, spontaneous happenings and genuine snaps much more readily. Most develop a specialty or niche. Well-known photo-journalist Rio Helmi is a recognized photographer, blogger and creator of the much liked Ubud Now @ Then website. On a frequent basis, Rio publishes images of local people, landscapes and events. His photos represent a snapshot in time, offer glimmers of bucolic life and constitute valuable vignettes of life in and around Ubud. He records the passage of the seasons, the evolution of rural practices, and the development of Ubud town in the face of massive tourism. His is a transient Bali where traditional rituals are not immune to change with the onslaught of modern day life. Travel writer, author, editor and photojournalist Jill Gocher feels the need to bring the taste and feel of a country and its culture to her pictures, to share the wonders and the special places and things that make each place unique before the blitz of mass tourism irrevocably tends to change places like Bali forever. In her frequent travels through Indonesia, India, Tibet and other countries, she seeks to capture the tangible and intangible, the seen and unseen to make the viewer a bit more drawn into each exotic culture. Her work has been published in international media like National Geographic, Time, International Herald Tribune and various inÀight magazines. Based in Bali, her main focus right now is Bali culture and her most recent book Secret Bali is a telling example. Jill’s trademark is a collection of pictures that portray the ancient cultural practices of Bali, the devotion to religion and the people and places that make Bali very unique. She is a regular contributor to local magazines that focus on present day Bali culture and traditions. Her pictures evoke a mood that is at once sensual, esoteric, ethereal and nostalgic, favoring people shots, especially children, to capture that genuine, unposed moment. When asked why she is so intrigued with Bali culture, Jill explains that when she started traveling, she discovered that her own Australian culture has lost the link to its deep European roots. Her experiences of exploring amazing cultures like those of Borneo, Tibet and more recently Bali have revealed how religion and culture are so entwined and deeply rooted in the people’s daily lives. Her travels throughout Asia have con¿rmed that Balinese culture is one of the stronger surviving cultures. As a photographer, rather than a focused anthropologist, she can look at the culture from the outside and gain a much broader perspective. One of her goals is to record living cultures, before the inÀuence of politics and other religions change them forever. Her personal vision is imposed on her pictures, not only to record, but also to extract the essence of the subject, the essential being, in the lenses of her camera.

Bali-based New Zealander David Metcalf is an unusual and talented photographer whose superbly evocative photos provide a deep link to the people, objects and landscapes he photographs. He styles himself as a cultural photographer and as such he concentrates on documenting, not only the usual spectrum of what can constitute culture, but speci¿cally the ethnic angle. David is mesmerized by ancient tribes and traditional cultures and has traveled extensively throughout Indonesia, Asia and the USA to capture moments of revealing lore. His nickname is Dayak Dave, bestowed on him by a Dayak elder as a tribute to the efforts David has made to reveal the remnants of the old traditional Dayak culture to the world. David was part of a team that ¿lmed a documentary in Borneo called Long Sa’an that was screened at the last Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. The ¿lm tells the story of a Dayak Elder’s journey back to his ancestral homeland deep in the jungles of Borneo. It is a ¿lm that exposes the environmental threat to the pristine forests and jungles of Kalimantan and raises awareness about the need to preserve, while at the same time it links us to the ancient ancestral wisdom of Dayak culture. David’s passion for photography started in his early 20’s when he was traveling to far off places like the USA and was enraptured by the American Indian tribal cultures and the incredible wisdom of their elders. Serendipity jumped in to turn his hobby into a profession. In 2000, while working a corporate job in Jakarta, he had a chance to travel up the Mahakam River in Southeast Kalimantan and experienced his ¿rst encounter with Dayak indigenous tribes and their culture. This venture sealed his fate and it was not long before David jumped fulltime into professional photography. “Traveling around Indonesia is an eternal fascination and inspiration” says David, “and the camera is a huge motivator.” Cultural photography became his mark in trade and set him on a path that emphasizes natural, unposed and unstaged moments that capture the essence of his subject. “I cannot explain all that I photograph”, says David, “so I leave it up to the viewer to interpret the mood and the nature of the photo.” David has 3 cultural photography books to his name, t e a c h e s professional photography workshops, and organizes cultural photography tours t h r o u g h o u t Indonesia, Asia and the USA. He has frequent exhibitions of his work and is very involved in Dayak cultural revitalization programs. David teams up with other professional photographers to offer many faceted learning experiences. His upcoming venture is The Essence of Place, a unique 6-day Story Telling Photo Workshop starting on April 20th in collaboration with Suki Belaustegui, who has made his professional reputation as a National Geographic photographer and whose work extensively documents the existing heritage of native indigenous communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Check out details of this and other workshops and David’s beautiful photographs on www.davidmetcalfphotography.com or his Face Book page. Readers of Bali Buzz, the Bali supplement to the Jakarta Post, know that photos and articles of Bali cultural and traditional events feature prominently in this weekly publication. Young photojournalists like Anggara Mahendra, Agung Parameswara and Kartika Suadana are a talented team, superbly positioned to capture and explain those perfect Bali moments to an expat public. Their illustrated articles are brief but illuminating and the photos do justice to their culture. Their assignments allow them to interpret their own customs to their readers while at the same time extolling the beauty and uniqueness of their island home and culture. Some people may say that these photographer-anthropologists create stereotypes, or at least do not attempt to dispel them. This is an unjust and prejudiced view. Photographs, by their very nature, are visual and non-judgmental recordings. The assessment is in the eye of the beholder. How we react to a photo tells more about ourselves than about the person who created the photograph.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON TOPICAL ISSUES Rather than focus on a single topic this issue I thought I might cover several as market turbulence in recent years has given rise to questions that I am often asked. Here is a selection of them: Is now a good time to be investing in gold? Interesting question because had I been asked at the start of this year I would have said ‘yes’ because gold had not moved significantly for some time and was still languishing well below the high of $1,828 an ounce that it reached in August 2011. Since the beginning of this year however it has been the best performing asset, rising some 20% since January 1st. The sudden surge was a reflection of investor anxiety during January and February when markets tumbled alarmingly following a dismal 2015. It was effectively a flight to safety, gold being a favourite refuge in times of political or economic uncertainty. But markets recovered in March and gold fell back a little as the panic subsided. At the time of writing it stands at £1,225 an ounce. So where will it go from here and how should I answer the question? The fact is, it is anyone’s guess but we know it is still well below its historical high. We also know that it has proven again to be a safe haven in troubled times. The world being what it is there will no doubt be troubled times again sooner or later. Gold will offer a degree of protection so if you do not have some already in your portfolio I would take the opportunity while the price is relatively low. Bearing in mind that gold does not pay any interest (but neither does cash in real terms) I would limit a holding to around 5% of a portfolio. The most convenient way to hold gold is via a mutual fund investing in the physical metal or a gold mining fund. When the price of gold rises, mining shares tend to rise even faster. The reverse is also true! Why have returns in financial markets been so poor in recent years? There are many reasons but perhaps one of the main ones is that the world is suffering a ‘hangover’ from excessive spending and borrowing during the boom years. In the years leading up to the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 some governments were allowing and even encouraging citizens to spend and to borrow more than they could afford to pay back. The ‘sub-prime’ housing loans and ‘packaged’ mortgage securities in the US were a classical example. This resulted eventually in the near collapse of the global banking system. Fortunately the world was saved but subsequently had to endure a period of austerity and low growth. When people have less to spend and banks are reluctant to give credit sales of big items like houses and cars fall and jobs are lost resulting in even more people having less to spend. Governments then reduced interest rates to effectively zero mainly to encourage investment but it didn’t quite work like that. Easy money was used instead to buy assets whose prices rose again but only for a short time. Recent global stock market returns are now well below those of the nineties and mid 2000’s. True, there was a surge in 2009 / 10 but only to recover ground lost in 2008 / 9. Governments are still running up huge debts. For a graphic display in real time of the US debt (now over $19 trillion) check out http://www.usdebtclock.org/ A similar clock is available showing global debt. Another factor is China whose incredible growth and hunger for commodities of all kinds drove the commodity boom in much of the world, only to lead it to a catastrophic collapse when the boom imploded and growth slowed to a crawl. Finally the collapse in the price of oil, which was good for many industries such as tourism with cheaper flights to Bali for example. But the collapse was so severe that tens of thousands lost their jobs globally and oil shares, which constitute a significant portion of stock market indexes, fell in unison. Although almost every asset class in the world is still way down, in many cases by double digits over 12 months, March saw a strong rebound, both in the price of oil and global markets, so there is a good chance that the worst is
behind us and this year could well be a better one for our investments. But the hangover hasn’t completely disappeared so be modest with your expectations. My long term savings plan is losing money. Should I abandon it and cash it in? I have heard this question so many times. And people are surprised when I say no way, it’s actually good news that you are losing money. Sounds a bit odd? Maybe, but provided that you are in the early or mid stages of a long term savings plan and provided that you are maintaining regular contributions you are now buying shares or units at a lower price than before. Over the long term they are likely to rise again and you will have benefitted from buying so many units at a ‘bargain price’. When the prices are high you are buying fewer units for the same fixed amount of savings.

This is known as ‘cost averaging’. You do need to monitor the plan in the later years however and ‘lock in’ any gains by switching to more conservative funds or a cash fund. This way you won’t be hit by a sudden fall in the markets close to maturity when you want to cash in. What if you have failed to lock in your gains and the value falls on maturity? Unless you have an urgent need to take the cash you can remain invested for another year or two to allow the plan to recover. It is also wise to find out why your plan is losing money. If it is broadly invested and global markets have fallen there is nothing to worry about. Just stay invested and wait for the markets to recover. If however the markets are doing well and the plan is still losing money then you need to investigate why. It may be that you are concentrated in assets like commodities and emerging markets which have suffered exceptional falls. Again, this should not be a problem if you hang in long enough for them to recover. The problem is if you switch into more conservative funds right now you will never recoup the losses so if you have time and can be patient hang on to the asset until it recovers.

There may be other reasons for the losses. For example I once inherited a case where the fund selection was fine and the markets were doing well, yet the client’s plan was showing heavy losses. It turned out that he had been induced to invest more at the outset of the plan than he could afford to maintain so he later reduced his contributions to around a quarter of the contracted amount. No-one had told him that ongoing charges would be based on the original amount. So the charges were eating away at his investment and there was nothing he could do if he could not resume the original level of saving. If he cashed in the plan the charges would still be collected in the form of a large surrender penalty that could even wipe out his savings. This is why it is so important to fully understand how such plans work. They are essential if you want to build up a retirement pot, or save for a house deposit or children’s education. But be sure that you can maintain the commitment and do check the progress of the plan from time to time.

Some of the bigger resorts hire their own in-house trainer to conduct training on a regular basis to maintain high standards for their guests. All large spas have SOPs (standard operating procedures), which are the steps of techniques used in treatments. In order to maintain a standard in the spa, all therapists follow the same steps so that guests can have the same treatment with different practitioners and enjoy the same quality of massage.
Each year Jamu selects eight to ten girls from small villages in Bali and are given a three month scholarship in the therapist training program. Everything is provided: training, accommodation, meals and uniforms. If they desire they are given a three to six month internship in a local spa to provide them with hands-on experience. They arrive shy and uneducated, like little ducklings and graduate three months later as beautiful swans, ready to enter the workforce.
I recently went to Jamu Spa School, the ¿rst spa school in Bali, which opened in 2005. I was amazed how much the school has evolved since their move to Nusa Dua. Tastefully out¿tted their premises consist of three stories of several classrooms dedicated to different modalities, a café for lunches and their own laboratory to produce Jamu’s own brand of products.
Ayu Mahandayani was one of the ¿rst spa trainers at Jamu Spa School. After working as a therapist since 2002, she was selected to be one of two trainers to begin the training practices that would set the standards in Bali. After two years at Jamu, Ayu then went to work for Glo Day Spa as their in-house trainer. A year later she was head-hunted by the new Bali BISA spa school and appointed their training manager from 2008 – 2012. At this time she gave birth to her ¿rst child at the same time she developed health concerns. Living in Canggu it was a daily hour long drive to Sanur for work, which she found dif¿cult with a new baby so resigned from BISA. Not content to stay at home for long she needed something to do with her talents and opened a small spa near her home in Canggu. After a few months she realized the potential of opening her own spa school called Reeva International Spa School. With seven years experience of being head trainer she was certainly quali¿ed to carry on teaching others the skills to work in a spa.
Leading the team of trainers is Ayu Puspita Dewi, an amazing woman who came from a poor village in east Bali, growing up without running water, electricity or opportunities but a strong desire to learn. When she was granted a scholarship to university her family and village didn’t want her to go, thinking she would become pregnant soon and settle into a life such as their own. Her determination to educate herself lead her to become a teacher at Dyatmika school for ¿ve years and was granted another scholarship in Sydney for a master’s degree in education. Destiny led her to the daughter of the director of Jamu Spa School, who conducted an interview by phone from Sydney and hired her to head the school. Although Ayu’s background wasn’t in the Reeva Spa School offers 1 day introductory Balinese spa realm, being an educator has proven to create a strong massage class, the most popular 1 week intensive Balinese philosophy of education in the school. massage course and 3 month spa therapist course which prepares the student to work in a spa; learning 5 massages, Ayu Leads a team facials, manicure/ pedicure, body scrubs & wraps, creambath o f s e v e n w h o and basic anatomy.

4 Brazil Nuts in 30 Days Cures Lipidemia? New findings to put the wind up Messrs Pfizer et al
One of the most intriguing studies I came across this year was conducted by the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. It involved feeding people a single serving of Brazil nuts to see what it would do to the cholesterol levels of healthy volunteers. They gave ten men and women a single meal containing zero, one, four, or eight Brazil nuts, and found that eating that single serving almost immediately improved cholesterol levels in them all. LDL, so-called “bad” cholesterol level in the blood, was signi¿cantly lower just nine hours after eating the nuts, and not by ‘peanuts’ either, nearly 20 points down within a day. Drugs don’t work that fast. It takes statins around four days to kick in.

We need to be careful here. It is very clear to me that the practice of modern medicine has been hi-jacked by the drug makers to an unacceptable degree. That the practice of molecular medicine and clinical nutrition could prevent and treat a whole host of conditions more effectively and cheaply than the drugs we are given to treat symptoms. That said, when you have a big problem you need big medicine. I am neither a doctor nor a scientist and therefore I’d be a fool to ignore their advice. Equally, I’d be just as much a fool if I abdicated responsibility for my health and well being to people I know little about.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH C/He/G-30 March 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.
GLUTEN INTOLERANCE? Or is it a FODMAP sensitivity? Gluten free diets seem to be all the rage at the moment, however in a great number of people gluten free diets may be of absolutely no bene¿t at all. Gluten is rarely a health problem, but it does come locked into big, high-calorie servings of carbohydrates, pumping us full of un-needed calories and putting us at risk for obesity and diabetes. A small percentage of the population may develop a condition called “celiac disease”. Numbers are higher in Europeans and people who have family members with the disease, and in Downs syndrome. When gluten hits the gut in someone with celiac disease, it sets off an immune reaction, which kills off the cells forming the inner lining of the small intestine.
gluten for everything from child behavior and learning problems to chronic pain and fatigue. Surveys in America now show that 30% of people would like to eat less gluten, and sales of gluten-free products are estimated to hit $15 billion by 2016 - that’s a 50% jump over 2013ƍs numbers! Going gluten-free is de¿nitely not for everyone; in fact it can actually do more harm than good. Here are some things to consider before you go “GF”.
We can eliminate its negative effects by avoiding foods with gluten. We can easily measure antibodies in the blood formed by people with celiac disease, and their intestine shows speci¿c changes under the microscope. A glutenfree diet can completely eliminate the symptoms of celiac disease. It has become easier and easier to ¿nd gluten-free foods as the public has become more aware of the disease.
1. A gluten-free diet is not necessarily healthier. For the general population, there’s no evidence that a gluten-free diet has any bene¿cial effects. Gluten-free products can have more calories and be more fattening than the foods they’re meant to replace. 2. A gluten-free diet may not help you lose weight. An abundance of gluten-free products can be found in almost any major grocery store (in fact I was amused to see a packet of sugar marked “gluten-free” at the supermarket, when in fact sugar normally contains no gluten!). But many gluten-free products that contain other grains are typically higher in carbohydrates than their gluten counterparts, and there’s no scienti¿c research to support that a gluten-free diet will lead to weight loss. 3. Cutting out gluten may lead to de¿ciencies in essential vitamins and minerals. Gluten -free products can be low in ¿ber and iron, and substituting too many of these products can lead to vitamin de¿ciencies. But is gluten really the big bad bully that we have been led to believe?
However some of that awareness has gone a bit overboard. The poorly de¿ned “gluten sensitivity” syndrome is usually self-diagnosed by someone who feels unwell and then is better when following a “gluten-free” diet. People blame
Recent scienti¿c studies have shown that FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo, Di-Monosaccharides And Polyols) may be the cause of many tummy-turmoil’s. These carbohydrates are commonly found in the modern western diet.
Since many important nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, patients can suffer problems related to malnutrition: osteoporosis, anemia and vitamin de¿ciencies. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are common but not universal, and some people suffer from signi¿cant weight loss.
Some evidence has been presented that the restriction of these FODMAPs from the diet may have a bene¿cial effect for sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome and other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Coincidentally, some of the largest dietary sources of FODMAPs - speci¿cally bread products - are removed when adopting a gluten-free diet, which could explain why the millions of people worldwide who swear by gluten-free diets feel better after going gluten-free. Another common example of a FODMAP is fructose, a common, plant-derived food-sweetener. FODMAPs in some individuals are poorly digested and absorbed. They pass through the small intestine and enter the colon where bacteria speci¿c to the colon break them down into gas and other chemicals that can give rise to gastrointestinal symptoms, just like with the lactose in milk in individuals who are lactose intolerant. FODMAP intolerance is based on the response of reduction of symptoms to the elimination of FODMAPs from the diets. So if you do suffer from bloating, diarrhea or constipation, or other gastric symptoms try the FODMAP free diet. This is the only way to diagnose FODMAP sensitivity.

For further details see the League’s Facebook page or contact the League’s Coordinator – Roland O’Neill on baligolfleague@hotmail.com INDOOR CRICKET NEWS BALI INDOOR CRICKET LEAGUE – SEASON IV – SEASON/GRAND FINAL WRAP UP The 4th Season the Bali Indoor Cricket League began on t h e S u n d a y, 6 t h December 2015 with the number of participants growing each season since it’s inauguration.This year saw a total of 10 teams in the Mens category with new teams including Klungklung CC, Bandung, Udayana CC (UCC), Bali Bandits (ex Flying Cooks) & Sesubung CC (merged team between Denpasar High Schools SMA5 & SMK2). Other teams from last season include Denpasar CC, BSF Cricket Academy (BSFCA), Bali Utd (aka SCA) and Finalists The Geckos and defending champions, Bali Lost Boys.Last season’s inaugural Putri (Girls) League gained a lot of interest within the Girls Cricket Community which now sees 3 new teams in Klungkung CC, a 2nd Badung side and
Seminyak Cricket Academy Putri (SCAP) aka Mix Team. The Finalists from last year both had a rough start to the season with both teams having trouble fielding their best teams. The Geckos having lost more matches during this season than they did the past three seasons combined. In the end, the Geckos scrapped in on percentage after finishing the season with some big wins to give themselves a chance to redeem themselves after last year’s shock defeat in the Grand Final. Unfortunately, the defending champions Bali Lost Boys missed out on playing in the finals. SEMI-FINAL RESULTS (13 March 16): Udayana CC 94 lost to Geckos 132. Denpasar CC 160 def Bali Utd/SCA 38 GRAND FINAL (20 March 16): GECKOS vs DENPASAR CC Geckos won the toss and surprisingly elected to bowl. It seemed to pay off with Denpasar making a modest 125 for their innings and looked like an easy target for the Geckos to reach.But Denpasar looked to have the Geckos on the ropes from the start, with only 8 runs to come off the first 4 overs by Tim Tracy & The Great Club Stalwart Greg Hinchy. Things were looking grim for the Geckos. But the partnership of Sammy and Adam & some messy bowling by Denpasar put the Geckos back in the match with 59 runs in their batting stand then Tyler Mitchell & Rob Hindmarsh made a commendable 38 runs to set the match up for an exciting finish. The last batting partnership of Ricky Olarenshaw & Rod Joseph did not look promising as they could only manage 13 runs in 3 overs. The Geckos needed 11 to win in the final over, and based on the previous 3 overs, the odds were against them. Ricky & Rod played it safe & smart in the last over, eventually grinding away at the target. With just 2 runs needed off the last ball to win, Ricky calmly delivered under pressure with a shot onto the side net plus a run to give them a 1 run victory to become Bali Indoor Cricket Champions for the second time in the League’s short history. A thrilling finish to an amazing season of Indoor Cricket.

Local News Indonesian Government Threatened to Deport Leonardo DiCaprio The Indonesian government has threatened to deport Leonardo DiCaprio after the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker made critical statements about the country’s palm oil industry during a visit. DiCaprio, an environmental campaigner, landed in Indonesia on 26 March from Japan. On Tuesday (29/3) he posted a photograph to his Instagram highlighting the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s plans with local partners to establish a “mega-fauna sanctuary” in the Leuser rainforest ecosystem, a lowland Sumatran national park where palm oil plantations, mining, logging and other developments are endangering local populations of Sumatran elephants, orangutans, rhinos and tigers. “The expansion of Palm Oil plantations is fragmenting the forest and cutting off key elephant migratory corridors, making it more difficult for elephant families to find adequate sources of food and water,” wrote DiCaprio in his post. The actor’s presence in Indonesia does not appear to have gone down well with ministers, who appear to regard the Hollywood star as a troublemaker. “If there are statements that discredit the government and
the interests of Indonesia, he could be deported,” immigration director-general Ronny Sompie told Republika, pointing out that the actor’s tourist visa limited him to “excursions” only. “If he is in Indonesia for other purposes, by engaging in activities that disrupt public order and harm the interests of Indonesia, immigration authorities are ready to deport him,” said the minister. The only problem with the idea of deporting DiCaprio is that the actor appears to have already left Indonesia of his own accord. While he was still tweeting photographs of the Sumatran rainforest on Thursday, Eco Watch reported that the actor and activist was no longer on local soil. DiCaprio’s foundation, established in 1998, will partner with conservationist Rudi Putra to build a wildlife sanctuary in the 6.5m acre Leuser ecosystem, constructing barriers, training wildlife patrols and rangers and reporting habitat destruction. The actor has been in Asia in recent weeks to promote his role in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Oscar-winning western “The Revenant”, which debuted in China and Japan last month. (March 29th 2016)
Hope of Sentence Cut for Bali Nine after Penal Code Revision The six remaining Bali Nine drug-smugglers jailed for life in Indonesia may soon be looking at the prospect of reduced prison sentences. On the eve of their 11th anniversary behind bars, the convicted drug couriers have a ray of hope in the form of a revised penal code, which is slated to go before Indonesia’s parliament in a few months. The draft revision, viewed by The Weekend Australian, offers the prospect of reduced life sentences. If it is approved, a new legal framework would facilitate wellbehaved prisoners who have served 17 years of their life terms being released on parole. The president also has authority to grant remissions or clemency at any time. The six Bali Nine couriers - Martin Stephens, 39; Matthew Norman, 29; Michael Czugaj, Si Yi Chen and Scott Rush, all 30; and Tan Duc Than Nguyen, 32 - have been desperate for fixed terms to enable them to earn remissions and early release. Only inmates not serving life or death sentences are entitled to remissions at present, although there is also scope in the draft for well-behaved inmates facing the death penalty to be downgraded to life or 20 years. Bali Nine ringleaders Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were executed on April 29 last year for their parts in the 2005 plot to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin from Bali to Australia. Yesterday Norman, who has monthly tests to prove he is drug-free, conveyed from Kerobokan jail that there was fresh hope. He has been applying to downgrade his sentence to 20 years for the past five. Newcastle woman Renae Lawrence, 38, the one female and only member of the Bali Nine with a fixed 20-year term, is scheduled for parole, possibly next year after numerous-remissions for good behavior. Her scheduled release date was 2026.
After being on the backburner for about 18 months, the draft revision is the first tangible hope the six have of gaining fixed terms. All their legal avenues have been exhausted. Under current legislation, drug convicts are ineligible for reductions. It is unknown if President Joko Widodo would downgrade such sentences. In late 2014, before two batches of executions including Chan and Sukumaran, he said Indonesia was facing a drugs scourge that needed “shock therapy”. Stephens’s former lawyer Wirawan Adnan believes Minister of Justice and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly will revise the law. “So there is hope,’’ he said. This month, the seven members of the Bali Nine scattered around Indonesian jails will have been jailed for 11 years. Indonesian lawyer Anggia Lubis Browne, who represents Lawrence, said she would request Mr. Widodo grant clemency to the six. “It’s time the six Australians on life terms are released on humanitarian grounds,” she told The Weekend Australian. “Send them back … They have to have hope. They were just mules. They have done their punishment.’’ However, Mr. Adnan believes a clemency plea for drug crimes is “a waste of time’’. “The President is trying to win his second term and things like that would not be in his favor, it’s not popular,’’ he said. “Schapelle Corby caused political turbulence and that cost SBY (former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) some political damage.’’ Corby, jailed in 2004 for 20 years for smuggling drugs into Bali and released after nine years, was granted 30 months in remissions and a five-year sentence cut by Dr Yudhoyono after applying for clemency.

Dutch Maestro Arie Smith Passes Away in Bali Dutch maestro Adrianus Wilhelmus “Arie” Smith (100) passed away at the Puri Raharja Hospital in Denpasar, Bali, on Wednesday evening (23/3). Aries remains were cremated in accordance with Christian rituals, and his ashes were scattered across Matahari Terbit Beach in Sanur on Thursday, Pande Wayan Suteja Neka, founder and manager of the Neka Ubud Museum, stated here on Friday. Arie had been paralyzed and blind for the last four years, Neka revealed. Born in Zaandam, the Netherlands, on April 15, 1916, he had lived in Bali since 1956. Arie had dedicated his life to teach painting and sculpting to the Penestan villagers in Ubud, Gianyar, Bali Province. Arie had produced several painting and sculpture masterpieces and had displayed his works in a few countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, the United States, and Japan. He had received several awards from the Bali provincial government and Gianyar district administration. (March 25th 2016) Bulgarian Man Caught Rigging ATM Machines in Bali Yanko Ivanov, 40, a citizen of Bulgaria, was caught breaking into an automated teller machine (ATM) in Nusa Dua, on Sunday evening (27/3). Yanko was arrested at a BNI ATM in Hardy’s Nusa Dua after a customer reported suspicious activities to the police. When police arrived at the scene the Bulgarian was in the process of rigging the machines canopy. Yanko is almost certainly working with a crime syndicate according to Police Commissioner Reinhard Nainggolan. “The suspect was very organized. He was rigging the ATM machines, then breaking into customer data and then sending it to a team in Bulgaria. This is what we know so far, however the case is quite complicated,” said Reinhard. “The equipment that Ivanov intended to install would scan numbers at ATM machines. When customers transact pressing a PIN number, the tool records the transaction. Not only the PIN number, all customer data is also recorded,” according to Reinhard. Police also seized a number of items of evidence, such as the routers, cables, a false keypad canopy for ATM machines, a storage device, an iPhone, and visa cards. (April 5th 2016) Planes Collide on Jakarta Runway Two passenger planes collided late on Monday (5/4) on an airport runway in the Indonesian capital, an airline spokesperson said, causing minor damage but no injuries to passengers. A Batik Air plane carrying 49 passengers and seven crew was taking off from Jakarta’s Halim Perdanakusuma airport when it clipped a TransNusa plane being towed across the runway. Andy Saladin, a spokesperson for Lion Air Group, said the pilot aborted the takeoff of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft to ensure the safety of those on board. “All the passengers and crew are safe, and will be flown using a replacement aircraft,” Saladin said in a statement. Pictures on social media showed scorch marks around the damaged sections, with videos posted online capturing a brief fire before emergency crews brought it under control. Barata said the airport in Jakarta’s east - primarily a military and government terminal that services some domestic routes - would be temporarily closed following the incident. Edward Sirait, the president director of the Lion Air Group, said the company would await the results of an official investigation. Indonesia’s air travel industry is booming, with the number of domestic passengers growing significantly over the past decade, but it has a dismal air safety record and reputation for chaotic regulation.

Pressure Grows on Jakarta to Tackle Indigenous Rights Abuses Indonesia’s government is under pressure to boost protection for indigenous peoples’ rights, after a state-led inquiry identified 40 cases in which they were violated, prompting calls for the president to set up a task force to deal with the problem. The National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) launched the inquiry in April 2014 after mounting reports of human rights abuses related to land in forest areas. Of the thousands of cases reported to the commission, 40 were selected from seven regions Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua - as test cases for investigation. One was a long-running land conflict in Muara Tae village in East Kalimantan province’s West Kutai district. Here the Dayak Benuaq indigenous people have struggled since the early 1970s to claim rights over their customary forests in the face of encroachment by logging and mining operations, and more recently oil palm plantations. “Our ancestors have been protecting (our) customary forest for generations,” said Masrani of the Dayak Benuaq, who came to Jakarta for the launch of the inquiry report in mid-March. “We did all we could to protect the forests. We tried to seek help from local government but instead we were blamed, captured, criminalized for defending our own lands.” The expropriation of customary forest for timber concessions, mines, plantations and government-backed resettlement violated the Dayak Benuaq people’s rights to a healthy and safe environment, property ownership, cultural activities, education, traditional knowledge and a life free of fear, the inquiry found. Masrani testified to the inquiry that the loss of land had created tension between his community and neighbouring villagers who had chosen to sell their territory to companies. He also recalled intimidation from “men with guns” who had attacked the village in 1998-99, forcing him and his family to take refuge in the forest.

month occurred when she was trying to take 720 condoms to an HIV organization in Bali. “I have actually traveled with condoms before so I was actually quite surprised,” Ms Gates said. “I was a little bit sort of scared. I didn’t know what was going on.” She said officials asked her if she had a permit for the condoms and said she had not declared them on her arrivals card. “Then they advised me that it is actually in the category of pornographic material, which I didn’t think was
Deforestation in the Bukit Tiga Puluh area in Sumatra has destroyed the natural habitat of at least 51 tigers since 2001, according to a joint study by the scientific journal, Science Advances, released on Tuesday (05/04). The study found that more than 67 percent of the forest, located in the provinces of Riau and Jambi, has been cleared, mostly for agricultural commodities, such as palm oil plantations. Palm oil development remains an ongoing threat in Indonesia, with more than 4,000 square kilometers of forest habitat having been allocated for oil palm concessions. The study, titled “Tracking changes and preventing loss in critical tiger habitat” involved researchers from the University of Minnesota, Resolve, the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, the Rainforest Alliance, Stanford University and the World Resources Institute (WRI). It showed that nearly 8 percent, or almost 79,000 square kilometers, of forested habitat was lost globally between 2001 and 2014. The study was the first to examine tree cover changes systemically across all 76 tiger conservation landscapes using high- and mediumresolution satellite data. Global Forest Watch and online environment monitoring platform Google Earth Engine, along with analysis from the University of Maryland, provided the forest change data for long-term analysis. (April 5th 2016)
the case,” Ms Gates said. Ms Gates said it was important NTAHC’s partner agencies in Bali received condoms because countries like Indonesia had high rates of HIV. She said it was important to Australia that condoms were freely available in Bali due to the number of Australian men who go there and visit sex workers. Ms Gates added that many of the new cases of HIV recorded in the Top End had been in the heterosexual community. “We really want people to be smart when they go overseas and go on holidays,” she said. “Take your own condoms with you. Maybe don’t take 720 [of them] but enough for personal use.” Although Ms Gates was eventually released, the condoms remained confiscated. Consul for Information, Social and Cultural Affairs at the Indonesian Consulate in Darwin, Ardian Nugroho, said having the condoms confiscated was probably because officials thought Ms. Gates was trying to sell them. Mr. Nugroho said the consulate was happy to provide letters in these circumstances for people to show to immigration authorities to avoid problems when they arrive in the country.

HECTOR’S Lost in the Forest A Hollywood actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, visited Sumatra and said he thought it would be great idea to protect the rainforest and the orangutans living in it, especially from palm oil plantations. This is an unexceptional statement. It is also an ecologically sensible view to hold, as well as humane and in the wider interests of Indonesians as a whole. He made the statement, let it be noted, while a forestry minder was with him on his Àeeting visit. When what he said became public, the Àatfoots set off in pursuit. The immigration department said it would investigate what he’d said and if he had misused his tourist visa to cause a disturbance or to harm the national interest, they’d look at deporting him. Even the orangutans would have had a good laugh at that, especially as DiCaprio had already left by the time they’d tied their shoelaces. Well, we all did, except that our laughter was a little hollow. The forests minister has a much more sanguine approach to criticism, thank goodness. She said she’d like to work with DiCaprio on advocating sensible forest management policies and an approach to clearance that doesn’t just knock down all the trees and fail to ask questions afterwards. She did say, too, that DiCaprio might have been better brie¿ng himself properly via her department, before hitting Twitter. And we’d agree. The modern fad for vacuity has created an instant tradition that holds that high-pro¿le actors are repositories of great wisdom. Like many traditions, old and young, its central thesis is very much open to question. A Greenpeace study, just out, lays bare the shocking maladministration of Indonesian landholdings and the corporategovernmental nexus that presides over this shemozzle at the big end of the business. Of course, environmentalists are as apt to over-egg their puddings as any other set of advocates, but there’s plenty of evidence that they’re not far off the mark on this one.
And Another Thing In that classic protest anthem American Pie, singer Don McLean memorably tells us … “Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn’t take one more step”. That was just before he took his Chevy to the levee only to ¿nd that the levee was dry. Many of us have been in that situation. At Renon, where the Governor dispenses governance, and at Dalung, where the Regent of Badung presides over his council, something of the same feeling must be becoming apparent. The row over the proposed destruction of Benoa Bay and its mangroves shows no sign of going away. Neither should it. A piece of of¿cial paper that purports to delist the bay as a natural environment, and which is then used to justify its total obliteration, is a weak and highly litigious excuse for environmental banditry. That’s if you don’t view it instead as a shocking obscenity. Two embarrassing mass demonstrations – conducted with civility in the face of provocation, let it be noted – and continuing action to disrupt pre-project work, indicate that the local people aren’t going to shut up about it. The beautiful thing is that they’re going about their campaign using adat (custom law and practice). This is both proper and presents an argument the Balinese authorities would be foolish to ignore. Hindu ceremonies are being held at important temples – including on Nusa Penida, where there is a very important temple – and there was one on Serangan Island (site of an earlier despoliation) on Apr. 10. It isn’t only the Balinese who are voicing objection. Other Indonesians are too. ForBALI is an alliance consisting of student groups, non-governmental organizations, musicians, artists and others concerned about Bali’s environment and who believe the Benoa project is part of an irresponsible environmental policy. They have a petition out on Make a Change. So we’ll just underline the point. The people aren’t going to walk away from this.
It’s a Scream There’s no denying that Christina Iskandar and the Bali DIVAs do it in style, or that they do so with considerable verve. The ladies raise a lot of money for worthy causes and usually come up with greats gigs at which to do this. So we’ve made a ¿rm booking with them to be at the next show, on May 27, 12 Noon as always, at Cocoon, Seminyak. That’s not because Iskandar has recently spent an inordinately lengthy time in Sydney and we want to get all the

gossip. Although, of course, we do: A diarist devoid of gossip is like a carriage without a horse. It’s because the headline act she’s stitched up for May 27 is Carlotta, the DIVA of all DIVAs, the original Les Girl and an icon of the Sydney entertainment scene. Not to be missed.

The Big Cheese Steve Palmer, Bukit resident, surfer and now formally former Bali business icon having fully handed over the reins at Surfer Girl, posted a photo on Facebook recently that really caught our eye. It wasn’t one of miraculously deep and crisp powder snow in the Rockies and other places, where he has been snowboarding. We’d seen plenty of those and wished we were there. This one was from Carmel, the Californian seaside town where action ¿lm actor Clint Eastwood made punks’ days for a while as mayor. C/NV/U-4 March 15
It showed the packed interior of an emporium called The Cheese Shop. It looked absolutely divine. Some photos are almost olfactory. This one certainly was, and Bali-resident cheese fans live in a very challenged environment, as we know. We posted a note to him: “Steve – the Cheese Shop photo! How could you!” He was in no way contrite. He posted back: “The aroma when entering this shop was divine … and the samplings were spectacular.”

Latex-Faire
C/NV/I-18 Mar 15
Bringing in condom supplies for free distribution to the HIV/ AIDS community in Bali seems like a sensible and generous thing to do. On of¿cial ¿gures, one in four sex workers on the island is HIV positive. Handing out free protection is a signi¿cant help in curbing the spread of the disease. Leaving aside idiocies such as regulations that list condoms as pornographic material – pornography is a banned import – there are certain forms to observe when travelling here. There are very few laissez-faire customs boundaries anywhere. The quantity of products you can bring with you is limited and a common factor is “commercial quantities”. It’s frankly strange that Kim Gates, head of the Northern Territory AIDS and Hepatitis Council, didn’t know this. She claims she was scared and surprised when she was detained on arrival back in March when quantities of latex (720 condoms) were found in her luggage and judged to be beyond reasonable bounds. It would be worse if (like many a numbskull tourist) she didn’t care; and it is curious that she apparently failed to read her customs declaration form. It’s perfectly permissible to have a giggle at some of the things some countries have a problem with at their border crossings; and even to speculate about their sanity, if you wish. Though it’s often better to do that privately. Thick heads are so often paired with thin skins. It is, however, common sense to abide by the regulations. Don’t try to take an apple into Western Australia, for example. The most sensible advice came from the Consul for Information, Social and Cultural Affairs at the Indonesian Consulate in Darwin, Ardian Nugroho. He said they were happy to provide letters for people taking large quantities of donated products to Indonesia, to show to immigration authorities on arrival.
Groan… This is so bad that it’s very good. A meme site of our acquaintance called The Northern Drunken Monkey (well, how could we resist?) offered it the other day.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Corruption? Not everywhere Dear Sir, When it comes to corruption, Indonesia has not a very good record. Although there is a lot of corruption going on in this country there are quite some white sheep around. I told the story of honest and honorable immigration staff in Singaraja, Bali, few years ago. Recently, as a foreigner in this country, I had bad experience with a contractor who finally did not make his job at all, but also did not like to pay back the 50 million deposit I paid him. Finally, the case was handled by Reskrim (criminal investigation department) at Polres Amlapura, Bali. They examined several witnesses, visited our location and, last but not least got the accused to sign a promissory note to pay his debt to me. All those activities made a lot of demands of the detectives’ time. And when it was done, no “donation”, no “gift” or something like this was asked. I pay my full respect to the integrity and sense of honour of those civil servants who handled my case. Polres Amlapura – you are a model!
