Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review Addicted to Shabu-Shabu? Shima, on Jln. Petitenget, has already become known as Bali’s sole specialty Teppanyaki house, but it also serves Shabu-Shabu legally! Not the illegal drug of Methamphetamine whose Jakarta street name is the same, but the famous Japanese hot pot.

mushrooms, Kale, Pokchoy, Carrots, Brocoli, Snow peas, Spring Onion and Tofu. The noodles are Japanese Udon [thick wheat flour noodles]. If you have selected the meat option you can now begin to add the thin strips of pork loin and wagyu, if seafood, then the Calamari and King Prawns. You will also have selected either Barramundi or Sashimi-grade Tuna as the final ingredient. A 3rd option is the combination set menu of both meat and seafood. You cook and eat as you go, strip by strip, so as not to overcook the meat. After stirring in the pot the meat is then dipped in a ponzu dipping sauce before eating. When all the meat and vegetables have been consumed it is normal to add the remaining broth to what ever rice is left in your bowl and eat as a soup. All good fun.

It is served in a special area just inside the front entrance, to the right. Shabu-Shabu is one of Japan’s most popular cuisines, and is often served for family groups. Basically it is a variety of thinly sliced meats and/or seafood with selected vegetables and noodles that you cook yourself at the table by dipping them into a simmering broth. As with a few other styles of Japanese cooking, the complete meal is not prepared before you, rather the raw ingredients are presented [pictured] and you cook and eat, individually, piece by piece, as you go. At Shima, you first select the broth that you wish to use as a cooking base. You can select two soups/broth from the offered list of Miso [very traditional Japanese, made from fermented soy bean], Kimuchie [the Japanese version of the Korean Kimchi; chilli powder, ginger and garlic], Sukiyaki [soy, sugar and mirin] and Tod Mun [hot and sour seafood, borrowed from the Thai]. In the large wok placed in front of you on your table, that the broth is in and simmering you add the vegetables, noodles, meat and/or seafood. You can select from 3 set Shabu-Shabu menus at Shima; meat, seafood or a combination of both. All three include the same combination of vegetables and noodles. The vegetables offered are Napa cabbage, Enoki & Shiitake

In the main body of the restaurant are the specialty Teppanyaki areas where special set menus are also available. Outside of these two Japanese cuisines you can also order other traditional side dishes. They include Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and a few other popular dishes. The Sushi can be Negiri, Tunkan [rolled in nori seaweed] or Temari. Build your own sashimi platter from Tuna, Salmon, Red Snapper, Squid, Butterfish, Oloro, Hamchi, Scallop, Unagi [water eel], Ebi [prawn] and Octopus.

QUICK REVIEW Restaurant : Address : Telephone : Open : Non-Smoking Area : Smoking Area : Parking : Price : Credit Cards : Food : Wine : Service : Atmosphere : Overall :

Shima. Jln. Petitenget 5E, Kerobokan. 738.582. Lunch [from 12.00]. Dinner [from 6.00]. Yes. Bar only. Small area at front. Rp. 700,000 for two [+ drinks] All major cards. Specialty Japanese. Medium list. Very attentive and helpful. A lot of laughter. A fun, tasty night out.

Other side dishes can be the Yaki Gyoza, something the Japanese stole from the Chinese and then improved it. A dumpling filled with chicken and cabbage, first steamed then pan-seared on one side. Edamame [steamed soy beans] are great for munching on whilst enjoying your pre dinner drink. A bit more substantial is the Tuna Tataki, Cawan Mushi or the wonderful Seared Scallop [served with corn puree and fried basil]. There are also a couple of standard very traditional main dishes available. The Negima Roll is very interesting, a piece of thin wagyu beef is rolled around asparagus, shimeji and enoki mushrooms and served with Katsuo Onigiri [rice balls]. If you fancy a Japanese rice bowl there is both a Chicken Katsu Don and a Yakiniku don [beef topped with a poached egg]. A Japanese eating house, built to tradition. Definitely worth a visit.

Body & Spirit

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH A Cure for Cancer? According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer there were an estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases, and 9.6 million cancer deaths in 2018. In both sexes combined, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death closely followed by female breast cancer, then prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and liver cancer for mortality. Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among males. Among females, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death. The most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death vary greatly across countries and within each country depending on the degree of economic development and associated social and life style factors.

Cure or Curse? Most existing cancer drugs and treatments are poisons, designed to attack and hopefully kill cancer cells, or at least slow their growth. But most of these treatments attack not just cancer cells, but healthy cells, too. Thus, people taking the drugs often suffer horrible side effects on top of whatever havoc the cancer itself is already wreaking. They become thin and weak. They lose their hair and their color. Designer Drugs The next revolution in cancer therapy may have arrived. It’s called “molecularly targeted therapy.” The treatment consists of drugs designed at the molecular level of the cell to specifically attack and kill only the cancer cells of a specific type of cancer. And they are tailor-made to recognize specific molecules unique to specific cancers. The model drug leading the way is Glivec, also known as STI571. It is active against a relatively rare form of leukemia - chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML - characterized by excessive overproduction of white blood cells. Doctors are extremely hopeful that the drug could provide a model for similar drugs to treat cancers affecting many thousands more people. These molecular “designer” drugs are created working backward from a known abnormal molecule specific to a

certain type of cancer. Once the molecule is identified, a drug can be designed that interferes with that molecule. So these drugs, by design, have a very limited spectrum of use. Eventually, one would hope, scientists will be able to “design” a targeted drug for many more types of cancer. Prevention is Better than Cure Consider these seven cancer prevention tips. 1. Don’t use tobacco Using any type of tobacco puts you on a collision course with cancer. Smoking has been linked to various types of cancer - including cancer of the lung, mouth, throat, larynx, pancreas, bladder, cervix and kidney. Even if you don’t use tobacco, exposure to secondhand smoke might increase your risk of lung cancer. Avoiding tobacco - or deciding to stop using it - is one of the most important health decisions you can make. 2. Eat a healthy diet Although making healthy selections at the grocery store and at mealtime can’t guarantee cancer prevention, it might help reduce your risk. Consider these guidelines: • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Base your diet on fruits, vegetables and other foods from plant sources such as whole grains and beans. In addition, women who eat a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil and mixed nuts might have a reduced risk of breast cancer. The Mediterranean diet focuses on mostly on plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. People who follow the Mediterranean diet choose healthy fats, like olive oil, over butter and fish instead of red meat. • Avoid obesity. Eat lighter and leaner by choosing fewer high-calorie foods, including refined sugars and fat from animal sources. • If you drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The risk of various types of cancer - including cancer of the breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver - increases with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you’ve been drinking regularly. • Limit processed meats. A report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization, concluded that eating large amounts of processed meat can slightly increase the risk of certain types of cancer. 3. Maintain a healthy weight and be physically active Maintaining a healthy weight might lower the risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon and kidney. Physical activity counts, too. In addition to helping you control your weight, physical activity on its own might lower the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer. Adults who participate in any amount of physical activity gain some health benefits. But for substantial health benefits, strive to get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic physical activity.

C/He/I-19 June 19

4. Protect yourself from the sun Skin cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer and one of the most preventable. Try these tips: • Avoid midday sun. Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest. • Stay in the shade. When you’re outdoors, stay in the shade as much as possible. Sunglasses and a broad- brimmed hat help, too. • Cover exposed areas. Wear tightly woven, loose fitting clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible. Opt for bright or dark colors, which reflect more ultraviolet radiation than pastels or bleached cotton. • Don’t skimp on sunscreen. Use generous amounts of sunscreen when you’re outdoors, and reapply often. • Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps. These are just as damaging as natural sunlight. 5. Get immunized Cancer prevention includes protection from certain viral infections. Talk to your doctor about immunization against: • Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can increase the risk of developing liver cancer. The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for certain high-risk adults - such as adults who are sexually active but not in a mutually monogamous relationship, people with sexually transmitted infections, intravenous drug users, men who have sex with men, and health care or public safety workers who might be exposed to infected blood or body fluids. 6. Avoid risky behaviors Another effective cancer prevention tactic is to avoid risky behaviors that can lead to infections that, in turn, might increase the risk of cancer. For example: • Practice safe sex. Limit your number of sexual partners, and use a condom when you have sex. The more sexual partners you have in your lifetime, the more likely you are to contract a sexually transmitted infection - such as HIV or HPV. People who have HIV or AIDS have a higher risk of cancer of the anus, liver and lung. HPV is most often associated with cervical cancer, but it might also increase the risk of cancer of the anus, penis, throat, vulva and vagina. • Don’t share needles. Sharing needles with an infected drug user can lead to HIV, as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C - which can increase the risk of liver cancer. If you’re concerned about drug abuse or addiction, seek professional help.

BOOMER CORNER Living Old is Optional

We all know that growing older is inevitable. It is just a fact of life. And a lot of people think that growing older means our best and most productive days are behind us and that our peak years are long past. How wrong they are. Ask yourself why your biological age would stand in the way of continuing to grow, accept and accomplish challenges, seek new adventures and live life to the fullest extent possible? Just because our physical body no longer has the svelte appearance or buoyant strength of these presumed peak years does not mean it does not continue to serve us well. You can comfortably challenge that fiat. Maybe our joints are less flexible, our eyesight needs some assistance and our mental sharpness takes a while to engage but we are still capable of extraordinary feats. Think of 64 year-old Diana Nyad who swam from Cuba to Florida in less than 53 hours in 2013, braving sharks and poisonous jellyfish. Or Robert Alsopp who, at age 71, became the oldest person to cross the English Channel in 2011, swimming for 18 hours to claim a new Guinness World Record. In the same year 81-year-old Lew Hollander became the oldest person to ever complete the annual Ford Ironman World Championship in Hawaii including a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile marathon run. 69-year old Sir Richard Branson loves extreme sports and has a mile-long bucket list that includes space travel on his own Virgin Galactic space flight. These feats are not all that rare. I bet you know or heard about seniors in Bali still surfing, abseiling or running marathons in their 70s and 80s. Do you accept the maxim that your mind is bound to deteriorate with age? That our memories will fail or worse? The Journal of Psychological Science has published a curve that shows your brain can maintain highfunctioning activity until well into your 90s. Which means you can do your best mental work late in life. Like 101 year-old Sarah Yerkes who published her first collection of poems this year or the golden aged Shakespearean theatre actors who deliver 2-hour performances without faltering. You heard about 90-year olds earning university degrees and elderly academics, physicists, authors who earn Nobel prizes at an advanced age. So don’t think these are rare accomplishments; on the contrary, lots of ordinary older folks still do extraordinary things. It means that the longer our lifespan becomes, the healthier we can live and the more we can accomplish. Why are we thinking that advancing in age equals advancing in decrepitude, loss of energy, loss of physical and mental faculties? At 71, I am healthier, more energetic, more balanced, more creative, happy and content than at any previous age and I intend to stay in that frame of mind till whenever. The awkward and agonising moments of childhood and young adult hood when we are trying to form a character and a personality are behind us; so are the travails of young adulthood when we are working ourselves in a frenzy to earn degrees, establish a career, form families and raise children. The disappointments and discontents of middle life have been processed and shelved. We have now reached an age where we can

reflect back on a full life, be glad or accepting of the accomplishments we have attained, the goals we have scored. The hard work is done. Now we can turn our sights to do what we have always dreamt about, unencumbered with responsibilities for bosses and families. It’s time to polish off our bucket lists, whether it is reading all the classics, travelling to new countries or old, designing your dream house, climbing a new mountain, building that flight simulator or other fancied contraption, volunteering at NGOs or getting involved in worthwhile causes. The list is rather endless. Our best days Are.So.Not.Behind.Us. On the contrary, this could be the happiest and most fulfilled time of your life. Think of it: you’re retired with plenty of free time; your kids are on their own; your responsibilities have ended. This is the time you can really come into your own.

Don’t wallow in regrets for things left unaccomplished, for disappointments in relationships, for misdeeds or mistakes in the past, or yearn for things that could have been but were not. You know you cannot go back. So don’t look back. It serves no purpose other than reinforcing negative feelings. The past is gone and the present is a wonderful time to enjoy what is and what you have. And what you can still experience and achieve. Now is the time to envision the future years and make a plan to accomplish what’s left on your bucket list, even create a new one, learn new skills and find new hobbies, make new friends or relink with old, almost forgotten friendships, to reinvent yourself and bask in the joy of being older, wiser and being on that level where inner peace means something other than the hippie-yogi spoutings of some 30-years olds who have not yet attained that frame of reference to fully understand the meaning. You’re in the U-bend of life. According to economists at the Warwick Business School in Coventry life is really not a slow and linear decline towards old age and death. It is shaped more like a U-bend. Statistics show that if you use happiness as an indicator, the progress from youth to old age shows that the sense of well being and happiness quotient is fairly high in youth but dips to an all-time low in our 40s to mid-50s. Apparently, that’s when we feel the least happy and go through that dreaded mid-life phase.

After that our enjoyment and happiness again rises and peaks in our 70s and beyond, thus creating the U. The left side of the U represents youthful radicalism, anxieties, anger, worries and stress which tend to increase as we reach our twenties and thirties but get tempered and dealt with as we reach the right side of the bend. The midlife crisis is behind us and we gain in happiness and contentment. This growing happiness seems to be associated with internal changes. Older people are coping better, they are more accepting, less prone to anger, tend to be better at finding solutions to conflicts and better at living in the present. This U bend is universal across countries, cultures, life experiences and economic circumstances. Physical health and a positive mental outlook are crucial to preventing the diseases and deterioration one encounters in old age. Lifestyle, more than genetics will help you in that. So if you do have a physical illness or condition, there is much evidence to show that living a healthier life will aid and abet its demise or at least control its severity. This means banning toxins from your food and environment, including toxic relationships. It means eating a fruit and plant rich diet to beef up on antioxidants and limit free radical damage to your cells. It means dealing with the unavoidable stresses of life in a balanced and laissez faire-laissez aller way. It means getting out and exercise, having regular checkups to monitor your health and boost your nutritional deficiencies. Above all, it’s a mental thing. If you act young, you will feel young. If you give in to the occasional aches and pains and feel old, you will age yourself prematurely. Feeling old is really an option. You can be a quadriplegic or suffer from a debilitating disease like the late Stephen Hawking whose mind was brilliant to the end, yet have such an upbeat mood and youth-like confidence in the future that you stimulate and motivate yourself to do great things, discover new adventures and enjoy life from whatever perch you’re on. Take a clue from Grandma Moses who started painting when she was 76 or Keiko Fukuda who still taught judo and self-defence classes at 98. True, you cannot halt the biological and physiological process of aging but you can control the way you feel about it and set your mind with the sails that will take you on a joyful voyage to the end of your life.

Emerging Writers Program Showcases Indonesia’s Talent As a part of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival (UWRF), each year a group of young Indonesian writers is chosen to represent the country’s creative talent. Set up in 2008 by Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati, which is also the foundation behind the UWRF, the Emerging Writers Program selects the best wordsmiths from across the archipelago to participate in the annual event, and expand their network within the national and international community of writers. The emerging writers also have their work translated and published in English, gaining an opportunity to place their talent on the international literary scene. Earlier this year, Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati put out a call to writers across the archipelago, asking them to submit what they consider to be their most outstanding work. During this period, 1,217 writers submitted 1,253 stories, poems and novel manuscripts, the highest number since the program’s inception. The winners were selected by a board of renowned Indonesian writers, including Leila S. Chudori, Warih Wisatsana and Putu Fajar Arcana. “The five selected writers-Chandra Bientang, Ilhamdi Putra, Heru Sang Amurwabumi, Lita Lestianti and Nurillah Achmad-all come from different backgrounds. We have a housewife, a university student, an entrepreneur and a freelance writer,” says the program’s manager, Wayan Juniarta. While the submissions were very diverse, Wayan says that they were colored by each author’s environment, Indonesian myths and customs, as well as important issues such as patriarchy and inequality. “Chandra Bientang’s short story gravitates around a little girl’s journey of trying to understand her pet cat, her mother, as well as the issue of abortion. Ilhamdi Putra’s poem is a haunting ode to the student activists killed during 1998’s political unrest. Heru Sang Amurwabumi’s short story is a fresh take on an important episode in the history of the Majapahit Empire. Lita Lestianti narrates a tragic story of love and betrayal among honey collectors in rural East Nusa Tenggara, while Nurillah Achmad’s short story is about black magic and a grave robber in East Java.”

Wayan further says that the most common unifying topic of this year’s submissions has been love. “Love, from romantic love between individuals and all its associated pains and joys, to universal love – platonic love that binds a person to their surrounding nature and culture, as well as love in relation to more abstract ideas of nation and God,” he specifies. “We received many simple stories and poems on first love featuring characters who are high school students, and we also received more intricate stories that, for instance, employ myths and folklore to convey love and lamentation for lost forests and abandoned traditional values. We want to love and be loved, and I believe that is the reason why this topic is so popular.” During this year’s UWRF, which is slated to take place between 23-27 October, the winners of the Emerging Writers Program will appear on panel discussions, alongside prominent Indonesian and international writers, as well as reading sessions. “During previous festivals, panels featuring our Indonesian Emerging Writers have always drawn a huge audience, and over the years the program has become one of the festival highlights,” Wayan says. “The most outstanding works are also selected to be published in the festival’s annual Bilingual Anthology of Emerging Indonesian Writing, which is launched at the festival.” While Wayan says that he has not seen any major changes in the types of submission and demographic of the participating writers, he points out that the number of pieces

of writing received by the board has steadily increased over the years. “What makes us proud is that the submitting writers hail from more than 70 towns and cities across the archipelago. It shows that Indonesia has a vast pool of aspiring writers and we are very proud to play a role in their collective journey to be heard and recognized,” he says. “In 2017 a group of Emerging Writers Program alumni collectively published an anthology of their work independently, and in 2018 a special series of works by UWRF Emerging Writers was published by Comma Books. These are just two examples of how the program can be a major launching pad for further career opportunities.” The festival’s Emerging Writers Program is only possible with the generous support of its patrons. These individuals and businesses assist with airfares, accommodation and honorariums for Indonesian writers over the course of the festival. By supporting the Indonesian Writers Patron Program, Indonesia’s brave voices, both emerging and established, will continue to be heard. To become part of the Indonesian Writers Patron Program, please get in touch with the UWRF Partnership Manager Saraswati Ratnanggana by e-mailing : saras@ yayasansaraswati.org.

Ubud News BALI STEPPING UP ON PLASTIC It’s exciting to hear and see that various major organisations and groups around the island are responding to the Bali government’s recent official ban on single use plastic bags. As perhaps you’ve noticed (while driving, perhaps?) people don’t always follow the rules here. This time, not only are major players stepping up in response to the Governor’s call but Bali has survived an Indonesian Supreme Court challenge to this legislation. Yes, banning plastic is constitutional! So there!

construction builders in their home village of Jono Oge, Sigi. A horrific 80% of Jono Oge’s buildings were damaged or destroyed by the shocks following the same 7.4m earthquake in 2018. Much of the earth’s surface was heavily damaged, with one hamlet sinking out of sight through liquefaction of the ground beneath it, forcing its inhabitants to flee the area permanently. COOL COOL GATHERING

For many Ubud ex-pats, this is a blessed reward after years of working in schools, supermarkets, banjars and community groups, as well as through mainstream and social media, to create awareness and understanding of this enormous problem. This week we’ve seen news that Ulawatu temple no longer permits worshippers to bring offerings in disposable plastic bags, nor are local warungs and food stalls allowed to put purchased goods in disposable plastic bags. Other major temples will follow suit. In Ubud, the local Payangan community leaders recently took part in a socialisation program to learn about the formation of a garbage bank unit for the banjar. The training team is offering to run similar programs in the banjars of Laplapan, Petulu, Ubud and others. Contact Pak Pande Dodik Sukadana via WhatsApp on 0822 3629 7396, for more information.

Go online to the IDEP Foundation website to see where these buckets have been delivered all over the Indonesian archipelago. IDEP first conceived the concept – easy to store, relatively simple to deliver to remote locations by truck or boat - after the 2004 disaster in Aceh, and they’ve improved in response to lessons learnt on Mt Agung, in Lombok and other disaster locations. IDEP stores, puts together and delivers as many buckets as your donations supply, whenever a disaster hits. That’s where all the money goes. The photo shows some of the 140 families living across five villages around Banten who received the aid buckets early this year. These villages are remotely located, with bad access that became almost impassable for a while after they were after hit by the Sunda Strait Tsunami on December 22, 2018.

Soundscape artist Amber Riya joins Kul Kul Farm founders, Maria and Orin, at the end of this month for a playful threeday “Gathering”. It’s a creative sleepover for grown-ups! The idea is to nourish our creativity, rekindle our connection with nature and make some great new friendships, whilst living on an organic farm.

One bucket full of basic supplies, including vital water purification materials, will cost you only $US150/ $AU200 or a little over 2 million rupiah. Visit www.idepfoundation.org for more detailed information about Family Buckets.

We’re offered bamboo yurt living, morning live music, tea ceremonies, some practical permaculture and gardening (yes, we’ll get dirt on our hands) and lessons on concocting useful plant-based mixtures and tonics for a natural herbal remedy kit.

Kirtan – not a piece of Scottish apparel but a collection of musicians and singers joined in harmonising and meditation – has made a significant place for itself in the lives of Ubud’s expats and tourists.

There will be delicious farm grown smoothie-bowls and relaxed chats around the campfire, plus music, writing, movement, soundscapes, sacred ceremonies, yoga asana and mindfulness.

Damaged road access and unreachable telecommunications signals left Amal and Saloya residents completely isolated for two weeks in September last year, after the 7.4m earthquake that ravaged the island.

GARDEN DOCTOR Grass on Clay ‘Dear Garden Doctor, Would you know what is the easiest way to prepare clay soil or improve it before planting my buffalo turf grass for a small courtyard area? My wife and I for the past two years have been struggling with getting the grass to fully take in the front courtyard. Our backyard has been doing it fine, but the front is a heavy clay mix since the developers scraped off the top-soil and sold it before we came (so we’ve been told!). I’m going to dig it up and try again, do you have any other lawn tips for growing on clay – how I can get the best out of the grass? Thanks so much in advance, Richard.’

condition of clay soil allowing for better drainage and root penetration. Uptake of other nutrients will also be assisted by the calcium content of the gypsum. If you’re lucky then gypsum will work on your clay. Spread generous amounts of gypsum when the clay is moist and fork it in.

If your aim is also to plant a drought tolerant grass in the clay soil, then the deep-rooted buffalo grass is the perfect choice. A clay soil by definition will be made up of at least 35% clay. If moistened, clay soil feels sticky and will easily roll up into a ball. The clay particles are tiny and pack down on top of each other with small pore spaces which restrict water run-off through the soil. That is why clay soils become easily waterlogged. On the plus side they generally contain a high nutrient content for plant growth, though can be difficult to cultivate and become prone to expanding when wet and cracking when dry. Soil Amendments First, you’ll need to amend the soil it so that it becomes ideal for planting grass. Start with a light tilling to break up the clay, then apply some topsoil/compost. The key is loosening up the clay and spreading organic matter/compost throughout the area that you intend to plant. Some people use sand or gypsum to break clay soil up. I highly recommend using organic matter instead, it supplies the nutrients that the newly planted lawn will need. Gypsum, otherwise known as clay-breaker is a quick fix used on the heaviest clay soils. If your clay is extremely heavy an addition of gypsum will help. Gypsum improves the physical

Watering All new lawn types need to be kept moist during their establishment phase to ensure there is adequate water between the turf and the soil. This means a new root system will form and establish the new lawn firmly into the new site. Don’t over water, the soil needs to have periods of dry so that the roots will search deeper, becoming well rooted in the process. If possible, water early in the morning or in the evening so the lawn can absorb the moisture more effectively. If it’s been raining don’t water the grass at all. Watering early in the morning, then infrequently once the lawn is established is a general guide, and if rain is on the way hold off on watering both before and after - let nature do the work for you. Mowing Buffalo grass must be mowed at the right height to ensure the turf remains in the best condition possible. Take care with the mower. Never remove more than one-third of the green leaf blade at any one time. This can weaken the grass and cause it to dry out easily on the hotter days.

For an existing lawn that is suffering on clay, gypsum worked in will also help. First aerate the lawn with a fork, then spread 1kg of gypsum per sq/m and rake in. If the soil is dry, water after applying gypsum. Generally, gypsum is best mixed into clay or heavy soils prior to laying turf. It is always best to have a prepared soil laid before the lawn is planted whether on clay or sandy soil. For final preparations always top dress with a thick layer of compost over the area and work it through the soil. The best way to improve any soil type is to add large amounts of organic matter or compost. Add anything available such as compost, manure, seaweed, dry leaves, even shredded newspaper, then fork it in and work it into the soil.

C/Ho/G-19 June 19

Mow the lawn to about 5 -6 cm high. To keep your lawn in maximum condition, mowing should take place on a regular basis. If possible don’t mow when the grass is wet. Lawns can be easily organically fertilised using a mulching mower or by regularly top dressing with compost. The trend these days is for smaller lawns, they are easier to manage and require less water.

The Frugal Balinist * Tank-up! Now is the time to install a water catchment system or underground water storage tank on your property in order to capture rain that falls in torrents on your roof during the wet season. According to experts from the Center for Environmental Studies (PPLH) at Udayana University, by 2025 Bali is predicted to run out of fresh water because of widespread saltwater intrusion into the water table. This problem is not exclusive to Bali’s poor and arid regions in the north and east. Three of the island’s four lakes suffer from silting and 260 out of its 400 rivers dry up during the dry season. Each day some 3 million liters of fresh water or about 60% of total water consumption in Bali is used by the tourism industry. This unbridled demand puts local residents of our tiny island of 4 million people on a collision course with the tourism industry. Since the main tourist areas are concentrated in the southern districts of Badung, Klungkung, Sanur as well as Buleleng in North Bali, those areas will suffer the most from severe water shortages in the future. Dryness linked to regularly occurring climatic conditions such as the El Nino phenomenon, which create prolonged dry seasons, will only exacerbate the problem. For plans, illustrations and instructions for appropriate, down-to-earth technologies, go to baliappropriatetechnology.org.

* Bank Savvy I If you’re looking to move to Bali and collect income in the process, one option is to transfer a significant amount of money to a local bank and live off the interest. Many expats who live off interest rates alone go around to their bank once a month to collect interest. As far as term deposits go, Indonesia has some of the highest interest rates around. Compared with rates in the U.S., rates offered in Bali can be

very attractive depending on which bank you choose. But at the same time, they appear to be running in reverse to U.S. rates where the longer a CD is held the higher the rate paid. In Indonesia, it works backwards. Longer terms generally equate to a lower rate paid, depending upon what the Central Bank and the market are expecting for the future. So stick to short term deposits with 1 month or 3-month rollover as they usually earn the best interest as well as giving you flexibility.

* Food-poisoning The first symptoms include headaches and dizziness. Bouts of diarrhea or vomiting can mean that you’re losing more fluids and electrolytes than you’re taking in, which leads to dehydration. In severe cases, you can develop serious complications including swelling of the brain, seizures and a life-threatening drop in blood volume. Staying hydrated is the top priority. To replace lost electrolytes and prevent dehydration, drink oral rehydration solutions which are more effective than sports drinks for treating foodborne illnesses. Widely available in Indonesia, even in small and remote warung, Oralit (Rp1000/packet) and Pedialyte (Rp30,000/500 ml) replaces fluids and minerals (such as sodium, potassium) lost due to diarrhea and vomiting, helping to prevent or treat the loss of too much body water (dehydration).

start any project until about a month after Ramadan finishes, allowing time for workers to return to full-time work. *Keep a sharp eye on what’s going on because instructions inevitably get lost in translation. *Don’t assume that a foreign contractor will do a better job than a local outfit. *Because of all the dust, dirt, mess and falling debris, plan on moving out during construction; work crews often start at 5:30 am. *Even if a contractor appears professional, presents detailed drawings, a full contract, has a good website, etc., they can still disappear mid job. *Insist upon talking to and visiting other projects the contractor has completed and visit their office address to make sure that they really do exist. *Don’t give contractors too much money upfront; tight control of payments and constant, knowledgeable supervision are a must. *No project will be trouble free. *Learn from your mistakes.

* Dental Health You’ll get cavities in your teeth if you eat sweet food, especially the kind you buy from a warung, if you do not clean your teeth. If a cavity starts or if a tooth is hurting, get help right away before the pain gets worse. If you do not fill a cavity, it grows bigger and deeper and costs more to fill. Join the Bali Facebook tourist and expat pages where dentists are asked about and listed nearly every day.

* Construction Know-How Don’t ever leave a house unoccupied in tropical Bali or you’ll be opening the building up to burglary, damage from storms, falling trees or tree branches and insect infestation. *Termites (rayap) can be prevented by replacing wooden trusses with a metal roof. *Use heavily reinforced earthquake proof columns and beams to support concrete roof structures. *Use aluminum foil insulation underneath roofs to keep buildings cool and prevent leaks if clay tiles shift. *Carry out extensive construction or renovation only in the dry season. *Cover exposed parts of roof with tarpaulins or truck canvases. *Don’t

Alternative Voice New Study of 1,000,000 shows Supplements Don’t Work... But leaves out the remaining 6,999,000,000 Barely a year goes by without there being a supposedly independent survey, published by a supposedly reputable medical journal, to tell us that taking dietary supplements is a waste of money and they just don’t work. Of course, it has to be said that barely a week goes by without there being claims made, quoting all manner of research, claiming the opposite-that they can and do work. They can’t all be right.... or wrong, as the case may be. So what on earth are we supposed to make of it? Here comes the latest, a study published this month from the Annals of Internal Medicine now making the rounds in the media and blogosphere broadly asserting that dietary supplements don’t work and won’t do you any good. This survey reviewed data from hundreds of trials involving almost a million people. The researchers examined the relationship between diet and supplements and cardiovascular health, with the goal of determining which of these approaches, if any - can help prevent heart disease.

does not necessarily invalidate the findings but it does leave them open to question. Why not be open and declare them? And, despite the statement that there was no ‘primary funding’ for this research, if you look hard enough you find a sponsor involved. Go figure the semantics of that.... To ask a straight question, does this study tell us, unequivocally, that no one should supplement with vitamins and minerals, or follow a low-fat or Mediterranean diet? No, it doesn’t. What it tells us that, on average, those interventions-at least how they were undertaken in this particular piece of research (and that is a whole other topic) were not effective. But what if someone goes to a Functional Medicine doctor, gets nutritional testing, and finds that they are low in B12 and iron? Should the doctor avoid prescribing B12 and iron to that patient because of this study? Hardly.

Their findings? In a nutshell: • Very few supplements or diet choices showed any tangible benefit. • Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, as well as beta-carotene, calcium, iron, antioxidants, and multivitamins showed no benefit. Folate and fish oil showed some benefit, but with significant caveats (i.e., they only helped people that were deficient in folate and who didn’t eat much seafood, respectively). • Neither low-fat nor Mediterranean diets had any impact on CVD risk prevention. What are we to make of ‘metadata’ studies like this? I have long maintained in these pages “most supplements don’t work, but some do’. It’s certainly true that many supplements including multivitamins not only fail to provide benefit-but can even be harmful. I’ve mentioned the risks of excessive calcium supplementation. And this new study does find that those taking calcium and vitamin D together increased their risk of stroke due to increased arterial stiffness and blood clotting. But so what? There’s a crucial point here that is too often missed in reporting these studies: You cannot treat people as if they’re all the same and assume that what works (or doesn’t work) for one person will work (or not work) for another. You don’t need a medical or scientific background to know it just isn’t true. Yet that is still how most nutritional studies are designed. It invalidates the findings and is a colossal waste of money, to such an extent that one has to suspect there’s an ulterior motive at work. A quick check on some of the 14 doctors involved in this particular piece of research shows links to major pharmaceutical companies in their published work. That

necessarily, it is best to buy ‘practitioner only’ formulations having consulted a trusted professional. If you are buying unguided, here’s the sort of thing to watch out for: • • • • • • • •

What constitutes a therapeutic dose? You need to know or you’re probably wasting your money. Beware the 30-day assumption. 30 tabs in a bottle at 10mg p/tab is a month’s supply, right? Not necessarily. If the therapeutic doseage is 30mg p/day it’s not, it’s a 3-day supply. Bio-availability. If you need 10mg of a nutrient and take in a pill form of which only 1mg gets absorbed it’s not going to do you much good. You need to up the dose or find an alternative means of administration. Steer clear of multi-level marketing. While it may be possible to get a good product at a fair price, usually it isn’t. Average and over-priced on a good day is the best you can expect here. While there are indeed many outright fraudulent claims and products, most are within the law in what they say on the label. Most popular brands are cheap ingredients expensively marketed and packaged. Watch out for a tiny ineffective amount of an expensive ingredient used to hype the price of an otherwise average formulation. There are many different chemical forms of minerals, some are a lot more therapeutic than others. It matters – but how are you going to know which?

Weasel ways of marketing: caveat emptor... let me count the ways:

Best tip: supplementation can be good, but best by far is real unprocessed food

And what if someone is elderly and/or has a health condition that prevents them from obtaining adequate nutrition? Should they avoid taking a multivitamin too or a Mediterranean diet? I don’t think so. In both instances, clearly not. It would be absurd, to the extent of malpractice to suggest otherwise. On the other hand it is all too often foolish and wasteful, evven harmful to self-diagnose and spend a fortune on supplements you not only don’t need but could harm you. It is common sense to get a periodic nutritional benchmark from a functional medicine doctor and/or a clinical nutritionist, whom you trust and whose living does not depend on ‘churning’ product or multilevel marketing. Studies like this don’t answer these questions or help us make a correct decision. Which is a shame, because these are important questions we need answered. We are not scientists (most of us), we cannot reasonably be expected to make a medically informed decision. We need reliable advice to help us do that. We are not bereft of common sense (most of us), we know there are plausible shysters in white coats out there. Don’t be led up the garden path, seek out the honest professionals and work with them. By and large, but not

• •

Reseach shows... whatever the seller wants it to say in the sales lit. If the 6th Dalai Lama was said to have used it to improve his meditation and cognition – head for the hills. Same goes for a growth hormone formulation, which the annals tell us was prepared for Ghengis Khan.

I’m sure you get the picture.... We share much as human beings, but we have important differences. It is these differences that ultimately drive what will work and will not work for us. At the end of the day, it’s sensible to remember supplements aren’t necessarily harmless, or effective and that good testing and guidance can go a long way toward avoiding problems and are what brings the maximum benefit from the real thing.

Local News Swiss national deported by immigration for allegedly having sham marriage with local resident to stay in Bali The immigration office in the city of Singaraja in North Bali says they have deported a total of 19 foreign nationals since January after authorities found they had either overstayed their visas or abused their residence permit. As reported by Tribun-Bali, these foreigners came from a number of countries, including Malaysia, China, the Czech Republic and Germany. They had been living in different areas, such as Buleleng, Karangasem and Jembrana.

26 Light-fingered tourists are shamed in Bali Proving the old adage that “if it’s not nailed down...”, a family has been publicly shamed in Bali after a swag of hotel appliances was discovered in their bags. In a Facebook post, the Sukawati Police said it was alerted after the guests from India were seen throwing items from their room into a vacant lot next door. The bags contained several appliances, including mirrors, hairdryers, coat hangers, and liquid soap dispensers. A video of the incident at the Villa Royal Purnama has had over 400,000 views. In it, one of the guests pleads for forgiveness: “I will pay. Extra money I will pay.”

bulbs are the most commonly lifted. Also fancied are bathrobes, leather items (blotter, telephone pad), alarm clocks, hairdryers, pillows, cushions, drinking glasses and feather duvets. Other light-fingered favourites that appear on travel and hotelier blogs include vases, batteries and even the ever-present Gideon Bible. A Hotels.com survey found that more than a quarter of Kiwi travellers have admitted to stealing things from hotels, with the most-stolen item being magazines and books. [www.stuff.co.nz July 31, 2019]

Twitter user @hemanthpmc, who posted the video, called it “an embarrassment for India”. “Having lived in Indonesia & visited Bali, I can personally vouch for Indonesians being the gentlest, most respectful people I have met. They hold India & Indians in very high esteem & its gut-wrenching to see us in such a compromised position,” he wrote. Police say the guests returned the items, apologised and paid compensation. While taking the toiletries is a common occurrence for hotel visitors, some more “enterprising” guests happily bag anything. An article on Smart Travel Asia claimed towels and light Immigration officials say the most recent case only happened about a week ago and involved a Swiss national who was deported because she allegedly married an Indonesian in order to remain in the country. According to Gusti Agung Komang Artawan, who heads the Class 2 Immigration Office in Singaraja, the Swiss woman had a sham marriage with a man from Karangasem, allegedly in order to gain legal status in the country. “They are legally married, but they live separately. The man was paid IDR 1 million per month by this foreign national. So we deported her,” Artawan said, as quoted by Tribun-Bali. Artawan said that his office would step up surveillance on tourists visiting the island, including through stronger cooperation with other relevant agencies. “If it’s solely from Immigration, it’s a little bit difficult to monitor, and we hope we will get support from other agencies. Basically, monitoring foreign tourists is not the sole [responsibility] for immigration, other agencies with their relevant functions must also monitor. There must be synergy,” Artawan said. [Coconuts Bali July 21, 2019] Big change for tourists heading to Bali Australian tourists heading to Bali on-board a budget airline will be forced to land at a new airport several hours from popular holiday hot spots on the island. The new airport, which will begin construction in early 2020, will be built at the opposite end of the current one in Denpasar and will cater for passengers who use budget airline carriers. According to Nine, the new airport - which will be several hours from popular resort locations of Kuta and Seminyak will provide relief at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, which is struggling with the amount of daily flight arrivals. Tourists travelling on low-cost airlines will now be landing further away from holiday hot spots like Kuta and Seminyak.

Unable to build more runways, Indonesian Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said the new airport location would open up tourism in the north that fails to receive much attention. According to reports, the new northern airport - which will open in 2022 - will receive around 70 per cent of flights from Australia, with Jetstar carrying close to one million travellers between Australia and Indonesia last year. Jetstar will be impacted by the new airport, which will accommodate low-budget carriers going to the north of Bali instead of the south. “Means convenience of the airport in the south, make it better … in the north is service limitation,” Mr Sumadi told 9 News in response to the new airport location. A Jetstar spokesperson told news.com.au the current Denpasar airport was popular with passengers. “Our services into Denpasar are very popular, with customers loving the convenience the airport provides to hotels, beaches and restaurants, but we are open to understanding more about the Indonesian Government’s second airport proposal,” the spokesperson said. Ross Taylor from the Perth-based Indonesia Institute said the new airport would have an impact on the hundreds of thousands of travellers who venture to Bali on holiday each year. “The Australian dollar spent in Bali is critically important to the Balinese economy, and the Governor is very aware of that, and the last thing he would want to do is upset the thousands and thousands of Australians who are flying themselves with a two-and-a-half hour drive to get to their hotel,” he said.

Tourist threatens Bali beachgoers with knife so his wife wouldn’t see shirtless men A tourist got him and his family kicked out of their luxury villa in Bali, Indonesia after arguing with locals and allegedly threatening them with a knife. The foreigner, who rented a luxury villa in Temukus Village in the Buleleng Regency on Bali island, got into a confrontation with Balinese locals who were enjoying the beach outside their rental. He reportedly ordered the beachgoers to leave the area so his wife wouldn’t see “partially-dressed” men. The locals insisted that it was a public beach and they had a right to stay. “Shut the f*** up! I told you so, this is a public beach. All the people can come,” one of the locals, identified as Gede Arya Adnyana, shouted at the tourist. The tourist kept arguing that the residents should leave because they rented a private villa. This further infuriated Adnyana who was captured on film shouting at the tourists, “I don’t give a s**t, I told you before.” In an interview with Kumparan News, Adnyana shared that he was spending time with his three-year-old toddler on the beach Sunday night when a young boy speaking Arabic approached them

and asked why they were there. In response, Adnyana told the boy that the other side of the beach was too mossy. “After a few minutes, his father came and started talking rudely, trying to send me away in English. Basically, he said that if I wanted to use this beach I have to ask for permission because he’s rented the whole place, from the villa to the beach,” Adnyana was quoted as saying. “I asked what the reason is? He replied, ‘I and my children are Muslim and do not allow her (wife) to see other boys, especially you only wear boxers.” As they argued about who has the right to use the public beach, the resident eventually called his brother, who is a village official, to get the matter resolved. However, the confrontation escalated and the tourist brandished a knife at the locals. The local authorities, who arrived later, failed to resolve the matter. Eventually the villa caretaker just told the tourists to leave the premises. After being told to leave, the tourist became apologetic and pleaded to be allowed to stay there but the local residents refused. “He and eight of his family members left from there, we escorted them to the border of Temukus Village. [We told them] to visit other places outside of Bali,” Adnyana said. Noting that such incidents were common in the area, Adnyana suggested that the village officials should issue a regulation that would recognize that the beach is for public use.

This is what life is like in a city where the air can kill you In my first year living in an industrial, traffic-clogged mega-city, I was not that fussed about air pollution. Then my baby son started coughing. My family had just returned from a trip abroad with lungs full of crisp, clean air. As our plane descended from the big blue into a dense, brown blanket of smog, I thought something onboard was burning. But it was Jakarta’s smoggy air all along. Two days later, our boy started waking up in the night with coughing fits - nothing particularly unusual for a 15-month-old. But that was almost six weeks ago. Almost every night since then, we have been up with him in the dead of night, often for several hours, trying to prop him up, give him water, anything to ease his discomfort. In the meantime, I have become completely obsessed with Jakarta’s air. Instead of my phone, I now reach for the air quality monitor when I first wake up. I have taped up almost every window and door in our home and had quality air purifiers installed in every room. Among the lucky few in this city who can afford to take such measures, we have taken our baby to Bandung, Bali and soon to Australia, to get some relief. The vast majority of people here just have to cop it. Over the last two months, Jakarta has almost constantly ranked in the top 10 of the world’s most polluted cities, according to AirVisual data. For three consecutive days this week, it has been ranked as the world’s smoggiest. Bizarrely, the most dangerous pollutants, known as PM 2.5 - particles smaller than 2.5 microns, which is about 25 times thinner than the width of a human hair - have been spiking during quiet periods. Jakarta usually enjoys rare blue skies in June, thanks to a mass exodus for the Eid al-Fitri holidays, but not this year. In the last month, some of the highest levels of air pollution have been recorded early on Sunday morning, during the city’s ‘car-free day’ when motorists are banned from the roads. “The spike data is starting from 12:00am until 9:00am,” said Bondan Andriyanu from Greenpeace Indonesia, who has been monitoring the levels of PM 2.5. “This is [some] of the evidence that [when] we are talking about sources of air pollution, this is not coming from transportation.” Official data suggests transportation makes up 75 per cent of air pollutants in Jakarta - but that was published in 2012. There has been no publicly released data since then. “Somehow they stopped

doing it and now the debate is happening in the public. Where is the air pollution coming from?” he asked. At the Pasar Minggu Children’s Hospital in Southern Jakarta, paediatrician Ardentry, who uses only one name, has been concerned by children’s chest x-rays. She said around half of the patients who come to her clinic have breathing problems, and it seems to be getting worse. “I’ve been observing this for a couple of months,” Dr Ardentry said. “Children who’ve been coming to the hospital with breathing difficulties and fever, their lungs showed more obvious and significant spots and infiltrations compared to those … in the previous months before dry season.”

There is no direct scientific link with the worsening air pollution, but the smog is clearly not helping. Yesterday, a group of concerned residents took the matter to court, hoping to force President Joko Widodo and Governor Anies Baswedan to improve the quality of air. “We are hoping that the Government performs [its] duties that [are] prescribed in the law, that they have to maintain the air quality to be safe and healthy,” said Nelson Nikidemus Simamora, one of the lead plaintiffs. Another plaintiff, Veronica, was merely hoping for reliable information about Jakarta’s air quality and how best to protect her six-year-old daughter, who has asthma. “In the mornings [it’s] terrible. It’s getting harder for her to breathe,” she said. “I’m not really into environmental issues. I’m not an activist. I want to know more from the Government. I think that’s my right to know.” By David Lipson. [www.abc.net August 2 2019]

Real Estate Special Issue

Wings On A Pig Now could well be a good time to think about buying property in Bali. If you are smart, you may well pick up a good deal. Care is needed so I’ll give you a few tips to help you get through the jungle but first let me explain.

Freehold land that three years ago was selling for 800 million rupiah an are (one are is 100 square metres) would now realistically expect to sell for 600 million rupiah. A previous price of 600 million rupiah you should be able to buy for 400 million, depending on how desperate the owner is. You will need to haggle, of course, but if you keep your ear to the ground you may well find a bargain especially if you have ready cash available, a pile of notes in the hand can be very persuasive.

Some years ago the property market in Bali went crazy, and the price of land went through the roof. Eventually, in around 2017, the bubble burst (as they have a way of doing), Bali’s property boom died and property transactions slowed to rather less than a mere dribble. Three years have now passed, the insanity has tempered and things are starting to move again. Hard times have culled out many of the dodgy real estate agents, people with names like Hopalong Cassidy and Billy The Kid have moved on to easier work such as selling slimming biscuits to Sumo wrestlers. We probably need to understand a couple of things. The property boom was driven by a ready supply of people with a surplus of money wanting to salt it away somewhere and a few unscrupulous real estate agents driving prices up to increase their commissions. The bust was caused by several factors. • Land had become so expensive that investment was no longer viable (see the 2013 article https:// www.mrfixitbali.com/buying-property-and-land/ house-and-land-prices-172.html). • It became widely known that a legal manipulation by which foreigners had been buying land using an Indonesian nominee was, in fact, illegal and expatriates stopped buying freehold property. • The Indonesian government started to clamp down on taxation and started sharing bank information between banks across the world. They can now monitor account balances and transactions and ask where people got the money. Time has moved on, but buyers are rarer than wings on a pig so an adjustment was needed and the price of land has fallen. There are, however, always people who need money to send the kids to an overseas school, fund a political campaign or perhaps pay for that essential genital enhancement.

It might be advisable to find land with a usable building on it that you can renovate. The value of property in Bali is centred on the value of the land. People will readily knock down existing buildings and build new ones, even buildings that would have high replacement cost may not have as big an impact on the property selling price as you might think. So don’t overcapitalise on the buildings and before you buy, get the building, particularly the structure, inspected and perhaps some ideas of how much it would cost to renovate. Probably the most important thing to know is that, whatever verbal manipulations people may use to persuade you otherwise, foreigners cannot own land in Indonesia and by ownership we mean freehold title which in Indonesia is known as Hak Milik (Hak - title, Milik - own = right to own). Foreigners can, however, lease land privately (Hak Sewa) or they can also take out a government title which is effectively a lease commonly known as Hak Pakai (Hak - title, Pakai - use, = right to use). Hak Pakai is very useful, you can take out the title for 25 years which can be extended, then renewed and then further extended usually for up to a total period of 90 years (you may find that people’s advice varies on this). The odds are that after 90 years (if you are still around) you will still be able to renew. Hak Pakai is a very good option. For more information go to: https:// w w w. m r f i x i t b a l i . c o m / b u y i n g property-and-land/buying-land-bali-leasehold-210.html The old system of using a nominee (an Indonesian who owns a property on your behalf) is to be avoided at all costs. It is regarded as an illegal manipulation to get around the law to say nothing of the fact that, rather like Jackal and Hyde, that ever so friendly driver who is so keen to help you own your own home can change very quickly once their name is on a land certificate. If you do consider buying land here are some steps you can take to protect yourself:

Legal • • • •

Find a good notaris, a licensed legal officer who will give you advice, prepare all the legal documents and manage the legal process for you. Have your own notaris, do not use the seller’s notaris or the real estate agent’s notaris. Never sign anything or hand over money (including a deposit) without a covering legal document prepared by your notaris. Do not enter into a nominee ownership arrangement.

The Land and Buildings • • • • • • • • • •

Get the land and buildings inspected for technical problems before you buy. Think carefully about where you want to buy, Canggu is a nice idea but it is expensive and the traffic is horrendous. Check the land zoning to make sure you can build there and what you can build. Be careful of ownership, when the old owner dies and his 5 sons are involved it can get very difficult. Do not buy land on steep slopes, landslides are common in Bali. Check that the land is not boggy and does not flood. Note that there are legal setbacks from rivers and the sea where you can build. Check that you have full right of access to the land on a public road and that you can get a car in. Make sure that there is an electricity supply to the land. Make friends with the local banjar.

If you wish to use a real estate agent take the trouble to find one you can trust, as a starting point ask them how much commission they are taking. Expect to pay 5% in real estate fees here while in Australia standard fees vary from around 2 to 2.5%.
