GREENSPEAK Slow Food Bali Goes to India The principles of Slow Food are universal – to promote good, clean, fair, seasonal food and support local producers. Every Slow Food group operates differently according to its own context. In December I was fortunate to meet a dedicated young man who is bringing Slow Food principals mainstream in a corner of Rajasthan, India. Rohit Jain is a modest and charming young man with a mission. His grandfather was a village farmer whose son migrated to Udaipur to find a better life for his family. Rohit earned a Masters degree in computer engineering, but his heart wasn’t in his work. He felt his life needed more purpose and he started teaching children in a nearby slum. Then he went to a village in Gujarat to teach children there and soon realized the enormous challenges the farming families faced. The farmers were unable to compete with the economies of scale of mass-produced agricultural technologies. They were often forced to look for alternative sources of income, usually by moving to Mumbai to work in factories.

Rohit decided to build that bridge. His goal was to create a socially responsible enterprise connecting farmers using sustainable agricultural practices with urban consumers. He had no idea what would be involved and it has taken years of dedication and hard work. It started small. In 2011 Rohit launched an NGO called the Banyan Foundation and opened a small organic food shop. Business was slow at first but he began to network with Slow Food, travelling to Italy for Terre Madre and meeting farmers from around the world. He soon became aware of the Organic Farming Association of India (OFAI) of which he is now Secretary. The OFAI supports new farmers in the group with non-hybrid seed and trains them in chemical-free cultivation. There are plenty of animals in Rajasthan - cows, camels, donkeys, sheep and goats roam the desert everywhere - so natural fertiliser is plentiful and water is not a problem in this area. The farmers were already skilled at dryland cultivation and benefited from the superior seed and farming techniques. But today 350 tribal farmers are supplying organic lentils, cereals and spices to 900 families in Udaipur In 2015, after four years of hard work, Rohit was still struggling. Lacking the cash to buy the next harvest from the farmers, he came close to shutting down the project. Then his work came to the attention of the UK-based Social Entrepreneurs’ Trust which not only granted him a large, soft loan in 2016 but also provided a mentor/advisor to help build the business. With this advice he created a private company called Banyan Roots Organic which began to attract private investment. The loan enabled him to build an integrated production and storage centre. In 2017 Rohit won the Millennium Alliance Award from the Government of India and USAID for innovation in agriculture. In 2108 Banyan Organics produced and sold 90 tons of lentils, cereals and spices. With the systems now in place and the processing centre fully equipped, the goal is 150 tons in 2019. “I chose the banyan tree to symbolize the work because the banyan shelters everything in its shade - animals, birds and humans. Its roots are deep in the land. We’ve been able to revive indigenous local seeds and tradition-honouring farming practices which lay as much emphasis on the land as the crop that is grown on it. Only when the natural ecological balance of the soil is restored and preserved can the food it produces be optimally wholesome and flavourful.

We discussed migration patterns from farm to city. I told him that in Bali many young people no longer wanted to work the land and preferred ‘clean’ jobs in hotels, restaurants or spas. He explained that this was not the case in Rajasthan where tourism is still quite undeveloped. He’d consulted many families who wanted to stay on their ancestral land and continue their village way of life, but could see no option than to migrate to cities for factory work because the return from farming was so poor. Without the all-important bridge to market they had no financial security.

“It’s always been my goal to make it possible for farming families who want to stay on the land to do so. This has been achieved for 350 farmers and we continue to add new farmers to the project.” Every village in the group has a co-ordinator who documents the harvest of each farmer before it’s collected by Rohit’s team and brought to the processing centre in Udaipur. Here each sack is recorded and stored until processing. There are several industrial-quality machines to husk, clean, sort and grind the lentils and cereals. But the fine cleaning is done by seven women who sit companionably together

removing every stone and faulty grain by hand, exactly as Wayan Manis and I clean heritage rice in Bali. The processing unit protects the crop from the post-harvest damage which often sees much of the harvest lost to spillage, insect damage and mould due to poor storage facilities and lack of access to transport. Rohit’s system keeps the supply chain short and transparent to maximise return to the farmers, who are now prospering. He is focusing on traditional grains and encourages the farmers to produce heritage wheat, millet, corn and sorghum. I was surprised to find corn among the crops. Rohit says that there are hundreds of varieties of heritage corn being grown in India and about 40 are being conserved by his project by tribal farmers in Rajasthan. Some varieties can be harvested in 65 days, some yield 4 ears of corn per plant. At a recent maize festival farmers brought samples of yellow, black, white, red and mixed-colour heritage corn. During his visits to the villages, Rohit found that the food he was served there was far more flavourful than anything he had eaten in the city. He began to experiment with farming and discovered that he loved cultivating the land. He’s now purchased a small plot in his ancestral village and plans to move there with his family - a rare example of reverse migration. His children will grow up in a traditional village with the advantage of educated parents and access to nutritious heritage foods. Rohit’s wife Julie grew up in a village and is deeply involved in the project. She’s published a cookbook of previously uncollected vegetarian recipes traditional to the tribal farmers. Rohit founded and heads the 70 member Slow Food community in Udaipur. He organises events, food festivals and parties to familiarise the people of Udaipur (especially the women, who make most of the food purchasing decisions) with Slow Food concepts. This year he’s launching a food co-operative which will more closely link farmers and consumers. I was deeply impressed by Rohit’s work. He’s interested in sharing heritage seeds. Some of his corn varieties could double the harvests of farmers in Bali and Sumba whose crops currently yield a single small ear. Contact me if you’d like to get in touch with him. The bridge to market is the crucial element in helping farmers to prosper. If readers are aware of similar projects taking place in Indonesia, I’d be very interested to learn about them.

New Year Traditions around the World Living in Bali among locals and expats, our New Year traditions are becoming like a coat of many colours. A lot of expats bring traditional customs from their native country and, coupled with that of your other expat and Balinese friends, it becomes an ear-exploding riot of experience and colour. The Balinese themselves have incorporated a few expat practices in their own celebrations. Unfortunately it seems they are much taken to exploding fireworks with an enthusiasm that is seldom seen anywhere else. Even though the government is wisely putting some boundaries on the use of fireworks, these regulations are blithely ignored in the week leading up to New Year’s Eve and –sigh- for a few days afterwards.

opinion and get the festivities cranking. In Japan, Joya no Kane is a Buddhist ritual that involves ringing a bell exactly 108 times at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Buddhists believe that humans are entrapped by 108 different desires that keep us suffering. By ringing the bell for each of these undesirable passions the accumulation of bad karma or spirits from the previous year is chased away and the individual is purified. All ready to start with a clean slate for the next batch of temptations! Spain’s New Year’s tradition for good luck revolves around grapes. People eat 12 grapes – one at each stroke of the clock at midnight. Each grape represents good luck for one month of the coming year. In bigger cities like Madrid and Barcelona, people gather in the main squares to eat their grapes together and pass around bottles of cava. The people in the Philippines also eat grapes and any round shaped fruit because, according to local belief, round shapes bring prosperity. On New Year’s Eve they like to dress up in anything sporting polka dots and fill their pockets with coins, in the hope that the coming year will be prosperous.

Welcoming the New Year in style is an age-old ritual incorporating many pagan and religious beliefs and around the world it is celebrated in various ways. In the western hemisphere the festivities contain 5 traditional elements: fireworks, popping a bottle of champagne, singing Auld Lang Syne, kissing your friends and family to wish them happiness and prosperity in the coming year and last, those ubiquitous New Year resolutions. Other countries mark the occasion with some peculiar celebratory habits which have some interesting parallels in other cultures, including Balinese. For instance, in Ecuador they celebrate the New Year by burning paperfilled scarecrows at midnight in the name of good fortune. Panamanians have a similar practice. They create effigies of famous personalities, hated politicians and anyone not in their favour and set them on fire. Typically the dolls are stuffed with firecrackers in order to really express an

Latin Americans like to don new underwear of many colours to symbolise coveted benefits in the new year. In Brazil, as well as other countries like Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela, the lucky underwear colours are red, thought to bring love in the New Year, yellow to bring money, and green to bring luck. The Turks believe the same thing: wearing red underwear at midnight on New Year’s Eve is crucial to bring good luck in the coming year. In Denmark they don’t go in for coloured underwear but they save all of their unused or broken dishes and plates until the 31st of December when they affectionately shatter them against the doors of all their friends and family, ostensibly to ward off bad spirits. A big heap of broken crockery at your front door indicates you have many wellwishers. Another convention is to climb on top of chairs and literally “jump” into the New Year to bring good luck. In Bolivia coins are baked into sweets and whoever finds the coins has good luck for the next year. This is similar to the famous French tradition of serving a Galette des Rois (Kings Cake) – cake with a baked-in coin or small trinket -

on the day of Epiphany which marks the end of the holiday season on 6 January. The person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket becomes king or queen for the day and enjoys various privileges. In some parts of South Africa they throw old furniture out the window, a custom which sounds familiar with the practice in Singapore where, at the time of Chinese new year, all old furniture is put out on the curb in order to bring in something new and invite good luck into the home. Many countries welcome in the new year with an invigorating swim in a nearby river, lake or sea – as cure for hangovers, perhaps? From Scotland to Siberia, in the Americas and Australia, these polar bear plunges attract young and old and are kept lively and entertaining by the wearing of some fancy or strange apparel, like santa hats, fin-de-siècle bathing costumes or disguises from your favourite cartoon characters. Some countries like France do it with undisguised flair, fancy dress and chilled champagne. In many countries NYE celebrations are a public affair. The ball dropping in New York’s Time Square is televised around the world. Other instagramable celebrations are Hogmanay in Scotland where young men go around the town swinging fireballs and the Sydney Harbour Light Parade at midnight. Amsterdam hosts one of the world’s largest street parties on New Year’s Eve with music, firework, beer tents and oliebollen, a deep-fried confection of dough that is a staple in the Netherlands. Tradition holds that eating these deep fried dough balls will ward off evil spirits in the New Year. The New Year merriment goes on for a long time as there are 39 time zones in the world. Based on the International Date Line, the islands of Samoa and Kiribati are the first places on Earth to start the party. The last place to celebrate is Baker Island and Howland Island, two uninhabited wildlife refuges located about halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Lucky inhabitants as they probably don’t go in for fireworks to raise the dead.

Body & Spirit

Beauty & Health Bokashi Treatment I’m always open to new things and willing to try them out. So when someone suggested I check out this place, which he described as soaking in mud I was intrigued. Located on the by-pass near Lotte Mart it was easy to spot the poster advertising Bokashi Therapy. Entering the place I noticed that there were several people coming in for treatments and the facilities were very clean. The scent of spices filled the air. Owned by Pak Oles, who is well known for his traditional herbal massage oil. What is Bokashi Treatment? It originated in Japan where it’s known as Kozoburo (Enzyme bath). The substance is comprised of allspice and sawdust from the Kayu Albis tree, which is fermented with Effective Microorganism, producing a natural heat of 50 - 70 degrees centigrade without electricity. Being buried in this natural heat for 15-30 minutes stimulates the nerves and blood circulation, promoting good health. I asked to see the facilities which is home to 22 treatment rooms on two floors, a reflexology room and downstairs is the Bokashi treatment area. There are two very large pits filled with not mud but a dark brown sawdust made from Kayu Albus, a special tree used in Bokashi therapy. They were empty at the moment so I leaned over and picked up a handful of the sand-like substance. It was very warm, dry and spicy smelling. Not mud at all. I returned a few days later to try out the treatment. It was quiet when I arrived at 10 am and was quickly escorted to a treatment room upstairs, which contained a large massage bed for Balinese massage, which was very good. She used thumb walking techniques and pressure points before applying Pak Oles massage oil and began kneading the muscles. My body felt nice and relaxed after the treatment. Afterwards she asked if I was having therapy which I affirmed I was. She then returned with a neatly folded pile of brown clothing to change into. First I put on the small shorts and then looked at the trousers. I slid my foot into a leg and realized that the end was closed. First I thought maybe a

mistake with the tailor. So slid my other leg into the other pant leg. The same. Reminded me of being a toddler with jammies having feet. Next I climbed into the large tunic which had no arm holes for the hands. Now I really did feel like a toddler with a hood covering my head. I realized this was all for my protection from the spice pit downstairs. Slowly descending the stairs with the therapist following carrying my bag and clothes she placed my things in a locker and indicated I should move towards the spice pits. There was a man buried with only his head exposed and a staff member was digging a grave for me next to him. It looked a bit ominous. I watched the man finish clearing a narrow pit for my body as he indicated I should climb in. “Lay down”, he instructed.

next to me told me that she had been here before and brought her friends back. After 25 minutes the attendant asked if I was ready to get out. I felt pretty well done and baked by that time, so said yes. Taking his shovel he removed much of the sawdust from my body. I struggled to sit up but managed to do so. The man indicated that I unzip the hood to open my head. That felt cooler. He held out his hands to help me climb out and brushed the dirt from my suit before stepping out of the pit. Wearing a sweat damp suit I took a seat on a bench next to the man who had lain next to me. He told me that I should sit here for up to 20 minutes to cool down before taking a shower. I asked him if he had been here before and he told me that he comes for treatment every month because it makes him feel healthy. After I showered and dressed I felt refreshed and cool and snagged a small bottle of water before heading up stairs where I was meeting Pak Komang the manager. He informed me that 600 regular clients come every month for Bokashi treatment. Impressive! It’s very popular with Japanese people who throng to the clinic. Check it out its worth the experience.

I plopped my body down in the shallow grave and was instructed to slide my head up. It felt all warm. Then the man took his shovel and piled sawdust over my body keeping my face free. An image of being buried in the sand on the beach came to mind. But this stuff was dark brown and warm. Okay, maybe buried in the desert. Within a few minutes my body was feeling warm and cozy. The muscles were relaxing. Every few minutes the attendant came over to wipe the sweat from my face. This was different from a sauna. I knew my body was sweating profusely. The toxins were leaving my body. As I lay in my pit six Aussies showed up in their brown jammies excited and nervous to be buried. The woman lying

BOOMER CORNER

Social Resources for Boomers Great news for Boomers: whether you are an extrovert, an introvert, a newcomer, a regular or occasional visitor, you can rest assured that Balithanks to its thriving and diverse expat communityis an ideal place to connect with likeminded people and make new friends fast. This is a small area filled to the brim with expats of many origins, backgrounds, types and interests and it’s easy to connect with compatible people and increase your circle of friends in retirement.

also has focused Activity Groups, which organise cultural, entertainment and adventure outings for members around Bali. The groups active at this time are into chess, food, golf, board games and writing. Check out the Internations website (www.internations.org) for more details. The site also has a lively member’s forum where you can ask pertinent questions or join a discussion group.

with humanitarian causes, children, the disadvantaged, the displaced, endangered or abandoned animals, wildlife conservation, the environment, etc. There are so many places where your contributions would be welcome and truly appreciated. The roster is simply too long to include here. The list of community organisations published on the Bali Advertiser website is a good place to start looking.

While Internations and other internationally-geared gatherings like BIWA and the Rotary Clubs welcome any and all nationalities in their midst, there are a few countryor language specific clubs in Bali that are popular. Bien A Bali (Comfortable in Bali) is a social association of French speaking residents. This group gets together for a casual lunch every month and organises activities such as playing cards or society games, lectures, documentaries and movies, or cultural presentations about Bali or Indonesia. Other activities include excursions (Bali and other islands), cooking classes, dinner parties, golf outings and karaoke evenings.

Social Media Based – The internet has become the great communicator and connector and consequently you will find many groups active on various social media. The big area- specific Facebook groups in Bali are Ubud Community, Sanur Community, Canggu Communty, and Bali Expat Community. There is also a lively internet forum and blog culture that provides portals for hooking up with like-minded individuals. Especially for Boomers, there is the Bali Retirement Group.

Other nationalities tend to form casual groups that have no strict infrastructure like the Dutch business or social Nederlandse Club Bali. There is also an Indian Cultural centre with various activities of interest to India expats. Some of the embassies in the country have networks for their registered citizens and facilitate social get-together or business-oriented encounters.

Bali boasts a rich layer of social, sporting, altruistic and professional expat organisations that cater to the need for information, advice, social and professional interaction, and assist in a seamless transition to expat life in this exotic locale. Here you will encounter both structured and informal groups that satisfy the social and interactive needs, wants and wishes of expats of all ages. As a Boomer you have many choices. You can join Bali chapters of familiar associations that focus on social and charitable causes like Rotary or Lions. If you are still a working Boomer, you can connect with strictlybusiness groups like Bedo and the Bali Business Club. On the social level there are a great number of clubs for you to choose from, including hobby and sporting groups. Some groups provide a combination of social, business and charity oriented pursuits. Some are women-oriented; others have a preponderance of men members. But they all have one thing in common: they provide a meeting place and a networking forum for expat fellowship, support and mutual recognition, and a platform for altruistic purposes. They represent just about every segment and age-group of the current expat population in Bali and Boomers, who make up a sizeable portion of the expat residents, are active members in all of them. Internations is one of the popular social expat clubs in Bali with over 500 members. It is part of a global organisation with community groups in more than 300 cities across all countries of the world. The Bali chapter is mostly social and organises monthly cocktail-hour gettogethers in various entertainment venues with free canapés and discounted beverages. The Bali faction

Besides nationalities, other groups are formed around religious or spiritual communalities, sports interests, literary or artistic interests, charitable pursuits, health, yoga and meditation. There are clubs for gamers and collectors, musicians and choristers, investors and traders. Sporting clubs include croquet and cricket, yachting, Aussie football, off-road biking and the Hash Harriers who organize weekly fun-runs followed by convivial social gatherings. There are many groups with diverse interests and focus and they can be easily tracked down. Check the very comprehensive listing in the Community Info section of the Bali Advertiser website for a good start to meeting compatriots in a social setting. Strictly Business – If you are a retired professional and still miss the excitement of your working life, you may think of joining a business club for the sheer joy of being in company of professionals in your area of expertise and maybe contribute your knowledge and skills as a volunteer consultant.

Other Ideas to get involved – Some neighbourhoods, like Sanur, have a lively pub culture and it’s easy to make friends by waltzing into a place like that and join the crowd at the bar or challenge a patron to a biljarts game. If you’re sports- or action-minded, you’ve fallen with your derrière in the butter – to paraphrase an old Flemish expression that means you’ve struck it rich. There are golf tournaments, races and beach runs at the drop of a hat and these provide excellent occasions to meet people. There is a croquet club in Ubud, lawn bowl on the Bukit and yes, the famous Bali Harriers whose members seem to be greying a bit but still hold their own on their weekly hashing joints. Church groups are also a good way to meet people and many denominations organise social activities and get-togethers for their members. The literary minded can join book clubs, the playfuloriented can try out their luck or skill at board or card games. Trivia addicts can sate their addiction at a few trivia or quiz games like the famous and utterly hilarious quiz night at the Bali Dynasty Resort. If you’re truly stuck finding partners for a specific interest or activity, you can also put a free ad in the Bali Advertiser under the Game Partners category in the classified ads section. Or start your own group with a new and not-yet-available-in-Bali activity. Start networking - With all the resources available in Bali and which, for the most part, are accessible through the internet, there is no excuse anymore for feeling disconnected and alone. It takes a bit of research and reaching out but with all the information at your fingertips and a social, business, and charitable life at your doorstep, it only takes a little time and motivation to lay that first contact. From there, it just snowballs. The Boomer Corner is a column dedicated to people over 60 living in Bali. Its mandate is to cover topics, practicalities, activities, issues, concerns and events related to senior life in Bali. We welcome suggestions from readers. E-mail us at : Baliboomers@gmail.com

Restaurant & Food

Update The Melting Pot, Bali’s largest and best sports bar and Texan restaurant, continues its festive season habit of producing batches of that doyen of Mexican street food, Tamales. They are served as a single tamale [pictured] or as a Tamale Platter [3 tamales, beans and rice] but they will only be available for a short time.. Tamales are a corn masa pastry stuffed with a mix of spiced shredded pork shoulder. They are cooked in a corn husk which you remove before eating. They are a Mexican Christmas treat and are rarely found in Bali restaurants due to their time consuming preparation method. Melting Pot also makes a great Texan Gumbo [chicken and sausage casserole], available all year round.

dip on the side. The all day menu features chicken; Shwarma, Burritos and Burgers. Soups and salads are many and include yet anther strange version of that Thai Beef Salad plus Pumpkin/Feta, Avocado and a Japanese Horenzo Salad [Japanese spinach, raw champignon, fresh green apple, topped with katsuobushi & nori, served with honey mustard dressing]. The mains, a mix of Asian and International are all reasonably priced.

Johnny Tacos is a simple name and simple tacos [mostly of the fresh variety, rather than deep fried] is what you get. A small space close to the Green Garden Hotel, Jln. Kartika Plaza, it is easy to miss even though it has a very colorful décor. Always busy which tells its own story! A few other Mex dishes but it is the tacos that they all come for [with a wide variety of fillings].

Kou Dim Sum on Jln. Raya Puputan, Renon is IndoChinese [zero alcohol] with a variety of dim sum, bak pao, wontons, etc. There is only a limited menu for standard ‘Chinese’ mains. But still packs them in.

Kasava is on Jln, Ayu Cendana, Kerobokan, although it pretends to be in Seminyak as many do in this area [?]. It is in front of the Royal Samaja Villas, and attractively set up. The menu is designed for snacking, full or light meals. The snack menu includes many standards; chicken wings, onion rings and quesadillas, but also a few items that are out of the ordinary. For those with zero diet worries there are plates of French Fries topped with bolognese sauce and mozzarella. Or you can have the more healthy Sweet Potato Wedges sprinkled with rosemary, a honey mustard

Bittersweet is new and impressive in central Ubud [Jln. Monkey Forest]. An international chef is rare in this area and the menu reflects it. Salads can be Pear & Rucola [with pomelo, radish, strawberries and toasted almonds added], or a Green Mango, not of the Thai variety as it has greens added to the shredded young green mango, topped with crushed cashews but still with a spicy dressing. There is an Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, the marinated Tuna Poke is topped with sesame seeds, a mangi ginger soy dressing served on the side. Pasta includes a Pumpkin Ravioli in a classic sage butter and a Portobello Mushroom Fettuccine. Breakfasts are almost all day [till 3.00 p.m.] and include the standard Benedicts and Omelettes plus one very healthy option of smashed avocado and cured salmon on sourdough sprinkled with fresh dill or a Dragon Bowl Smoothie [dragon fruit juice, banana and mint with chia seeds] served in a hollowed out coconut. Mains can be seafood [tuna,

butterfish, salmon] or meat [grilled chicken or stir-fried beef strips with onions and tomato]. They also have daily specials, sometimes a Duck Breast with caramelized pear or Grilled Duck Leg.

Maybe Tony almost gets it right. Breakfast [brunch] is served till 5.00 p.m., almost all day. This is an almost new café/restaurant on Jln. Legian, Kuta [opposite Sky Garden]. It is small, intimate and very friendly. Their Italian chef turns quality product out of the kitchen, not just the Italian basics, even the burgers are good. A bit better than what you expect to find in this area.

Seasoned, Jln. Pengosekan, adds to the new restaurants that seem to be opening, on an almost daily basis, in the Ubud area. Although this one is not entirely new as it replaces what once was Yasmin. Styled as local and healthy the menu concentrates on rice dishes. Balinese is a red rice Nasi Goreng [green beans, fried egg and kecap manis] or there is a ‘traditional’ Chinese Fried Rice [peas, carrots, ginger, soy], Indian Basmati rice [tika masala with chickpeas and peppers], Thai Green Curry with Jasmine rice or Spanish Aborio rice [more commonly known as Italian] paella style, smoked paprika, saffron and chilli. Prices are very low and chicken or prawns can be added to any of the rice dishes. Olive continues the recent trend of interesting restaurants opening on the outlying areas around Ubud. This one is quite unusual as it offers Lebanese cuisine. Olive is located in the village of Petulu, north of Andong, Ubud [Jln. Tirta Tawar]. A small place with its home made dips [hummus, baba ganoush], salads [tabbouleh, fattoush] and snacks [falafel sandwich], plus there is always a Chef’s Special Main of the day.

NAGI is not really just a Japanese restaurant even though it offers a two page special list of sushi options and a couple of other Japanese dishes as it also has a significant international menu as well.

also rolled in Panko crumbs to give it a crunch!. Other Japanese dishes include an excellent Bento Box, perfect for lunch with a small salad, California roll, rice and your choice of chicken [teriyaki, katsu or tempura] which arrives with a rather poor imitation of a miso soup [watery and tasteless].

The sushi is mostly of the ‘California Roll’ variety, including most of the standards and quite a few innovative creations. The Spicy Tuna Roll uses marinated tuna, ‘Mexican’ has shrimp tempura with cream cheese and avocado topped with eel sauce. The Kawai Roll is wrapped in rice paper, inside shrimp tempura, cucumber, lettuce, crab, topped with a spicy mayonnaise. Nori Rolls can be salmon or tuna and their signature sushi dish is the Golden Night [shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, salmon and tuna flakes]. There is a Salmon Skin Roll and a spicy Volcano Roll. The Spider Roll uses soft shell crabs. The Inferno uses jalapeno chillies to raise the heat level of the tuna and salmon filling. Most unusual is the Sushi Pizza. NO, there is not a traditional pizza base but instead a thick layer of those Japanese Panko breadcrumbs [pictured], so crunchy! On top is a mix of avocado, spicy tuna and a sweet sauce.

The Chicken Parmigiana is substantial as are the Pork Ribs and Pork Belly dishes. The wok produced grilled beef is with ginger and soy, Asian style. There is even a range of quite acceptable Pizzas, and the essential local dishes for mixed group dining. All in all Nagi is a pleasant stopping spot for an anytime meal or snack as the available restaurants of the Ubud area continue to expand into bordering locations, thus avoiding the high rents of Ubud central which results in much more budget dining so well worth searching for.

School News

The Time - Tested Montessori Method Endures Sometimes, no news is good news. At Montessori School Bali, while exciting projects are under development, such as new natural outdoor playgrounds and a BMX track, in our classrooms things stay very much the same as they have in authentic Montessori classrooms around the world for many decades.

expressed changes, and so the environment the child is in has to change, too. Classrooms are therefore specially prepared with particular materials and with a particular environment to allow children to respond to their natural tendency to be curious and to follow their interests. Within a structured framework, children progress at their own pace and rhythm.

Why on earth would that be a good thing? You might be forgiven for thinking that advances in science would have allowed for an evolution of the Montessori method of teaching.

Many schools now call themselves “Montessori”. It’s important that parents ask about what this means and investigate whether a school is authentically Montessori. Are teachers trained with a recognised Montessori body? Are there genuine Montessori materials in the classrooms? Other fundamental elements include multi-age classrooms and three-hour work cycles.

What keeps happening instead, however, is that scientific studies confirm that Dr Maria Montessori’s style of teaching children was a century ahead of her time. She anticipated some of the latest and best findings in developmental psychology today, so in fact it’s a very good thing that nothing is changing in authentic Montessori classrooms, such as those you’ll find at Montessori School Bali. Montessori has a longer track record of success than any other educational approach in the world. In a world changing rapidly, something so solid, time-tested and now proven has never been needed so much. “If schooling were evidence-based, I think all schools would look a lot more like Montessori schools,” writes Dr Angeline Stoll Lillard in her book “Montessori: The Science Behind the Genius”. Dr Steven Hughes, a paediatric neuropsychologist who specialises in education and brain development, says: “If a neuropsychologist designed a school today, it would not look like a conventional school, but more like a Montessori one.” So what is Montessori? Grounded in an entire philosophy for life, it was developed after Dr Montessori, Italy’s first female physician, carried out exacting observations of children from various backgrounds. Specifically, she found that all people have the same human tendencies that are used to help them grow and develop; these tendencies show in different ways as a child grows into an adult. An environment specially designed to allow the child to meet those tendencies, she also found, allowed children to develop optimally, with joy and excitement. As a child moves through different stages of growth -- infancy, childhood, adolescence -- the way tendencies are

A key foundational element of Montessori is the connection between freedom of movement and learning. Cursive writing is an integral part of literacy development in a Montessori classroom. While some mainstream schools no longer teach it, Dr Montessori saw cursive as an example of crucial learning through movement and the senses. Research now corroborates the hand-brain connection, proving that new pathways in the brain develop as children use their hands. One study found that primary students need at least “15 minutes of handwriting daily for cognitive, writing and motor skills and reading comprehension improvement.”

What do the studies show? One longitudinal study, published in 2017 and looking at children aged three to six, found that over time Montessori children fared better on measures of academic achievement, social understanding, and mastery orientation. They reported relatively more liking of scholastic tasks, and scored higher on executive function when they were aged four. This study also found the difference in academic achievement between lower income Montessori and higher income conventionally schooled children was smaller at each time point, and statistically insignificant by the time the study ended. Other studies have shown that Montessori-educated children at the age of 12 show more creativity and flexibility, and have a more positive attitude to social interactions, too. Neuroscience meanwhile confirms what Dr Montessori argued: That there are particular times in a child’s development when the mind can absorb skills readily. A Montessori teacher will feed children the skills they need when they observe their brain has reached the right stage of development.

Montessori School Bali, with programmes for babies through to adolescents, is an authentic Montessori school, ticking all of the above, and offering expansive, beautiful grounds. The school is even attracting families to Bali so they can attend. “My children have been at a Montessori school in Australia for several years and we have been highly pleased with how they learn there,” Australian mum Lisa Wiking says. “To find a school offering a genuine Montessori approach in such beautiful surrounds in Bali was the deciding factor in us making the move here. My kids will be getting an education that science shows is the best for their development, while we live on an island we have long loved.” Please contact us by emailing contact@montessoribali. com to arrange an observation session.

Bandit Saints of Java

by George Quinn

When Islam first arrived in Indonesia in the 15th C., it came ready-packaged in a mystical doctrine that was widely welcomed across Java. Though widespread conversion from the Hindu-Buddhist faith to Islam was complete by the 1600s, the old belief systems did not disappear. Buddhism and Hinduism had a presence on Java for 1000 years and their influence still survived in many rites, symbols, customs and traditions such as the wayang theater forms and architectural features like the split gate that reflect Java’s ancient past.

The religion of Java lives on in the venerable mausoleums of legendary saints and spirit guardians who represent local, traditionalist native faith with all its mysticism and magic and obsession with holy places and the dead. For modern Indonesians, saint veneration and local pilgrimages are central to their Islamic identity and the practice of their religion that adopts a tolerant, understanding and humanistic approach. The author argues that many Javanese are able to stay strong in Islam while honoring their semi-divine ancestors who are known as the Nine Saints (Wali Songo). The pilgrimage sites, which Quinn calls the new heathen landscape of Indonesia, are not your usual shrines but fusions of holy ground, the focus of memorable stories and objects of religious devotion. Hundreds of these places of worship, big and small, sprawl across Java as well as Indonesia’s outer Islands. Visiting them has become normal in modern Java and serve to assuage those who face an interminable wait - now averaging 17 years - to go on the haj to Mecca. The saint’s graves are havens of refuge and respite embedded solidly in the practices of everyday life for scores of millions of people. The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism reported that 12.2 million people visited the tombs of the Nine Saints in 2014. A few of the sites, like that of Sunan Bonang in Tuban, host up to a million visitors a year. In the final months of the Ramadan fasting month, 20,000 pilgrims a day visit the tomb of Sunan Ampel in Surabaya. The popularity of local pilgrimages has given rise to a highly profitable services sector called wisata ziarah (pilgrimage tourism) in which pilgrims are whisked around by chartered bus to as many as 9 tombs in 6 days. Run on a shoestring, the tours are composed mostly of women who wear like-colored t-shirts, sleep in the bus, mosque or rest pavilions, eat takeaway food and shop for religious souvenirs. So relentlessly popular are the tours that most participants don’t even get close to the small, inner burial chamber but have to sit in dense ranks on tiled patio floors all around the vicinity.

Researchers who today struggle to trace the dynamics of religious change in modern Java are unanimous in one thing: syncretic Javanized Islam has been on the run, pushed hard by conservative, orthodox forces since the 1980s. Javanese have now largely abandoned their preMuslim beliefs that were intermixed with animist, Hindu and Buddhist leanings and avalanched over to observant conservatism. This imported hard-edged guise of pious Islam is hostile to the veneration of any image or object that might tempt believers away from the single-minded worship of the one God, Allah. Bandit Saints of Java is a challenge to that perception which can only hold water if one assumes that Java’s unique religious heritage and Indonesia‘s pre-national history have died out or are irrelevant in the present. This unusual work of nonfiction dives deep under the surface of modern Indonesia, exploring personalities, legends and lore in the wacky, teeming world of local pilgrimages that is largely invisible to journalists, scholars and tourists. The book convincingly illuminates how a brash, new, energetic religion changed but not wholly supplanted the old Buddhist/Hindu belief systems.

Most are off the beaten track and don’t appear on modern maps or make it into the pages of a Lonely Planet guidebook. These landmarks inherited from the distance past are buried under the new geography of cities, highways, ports, railroads, factories, plantations, administrative boundaries and tourist attractions. They roost at the top of staircases on steep hillsides, lie in the darkness of caves, shelter in the tiny scraps of forests still left on Java, crouch under the arbors of trees in quiet villages, hidden in the cluttered old quarters of the island’s major cities or in district level towns like Blora, Tuban, Kediri, Demak, Tegal, Karawang, Sumedang, Banten, Kudus, Magelang, Jombang, Mojoagung and Gresik. Often the temples lie besides or opposite the high-rise domes, shiny halls and Middle Eastern-style minarets of flamboyant modern mosques whose straight-laced parishioners view the local pilgrimage sites as nests of idolatry and backwardness. George Quinn is a one-of-a-kind scholar of Indonesian studies. Possessing a native speaker level command of Indonesian and Javanese, this Australian specialist holds a BA from Yogyakarta’s Gadjah Mada University and for many years headed the Southeast Center at the Australian National University. As an Indonesianist - or more precisely, a Javanist - of the first rank, he is adept at writing in a number of genres - fiction, literary criticism, lexiography, history. He

has published countless papers and articles reflecting his decades-long travel and research in Java. Quinn didn’t write this brilliant discussion of Java’s pilgrimage culture from the sterile confines of a university office under towering bookcases but actually lived the experiences reported in his book. Only a man on the spot would be able to describe in such rich detail the packed, fetid atmosphere of tombs and the details of architecture. Though not a Muslim himself, he is as informed about the nuances of Javanese Islam as any practicing Indonesian ulama. Often Quinn was the only tall, fair-skinned outsider granted as a matter of courtesy a priority place in the inner sanctum. Key-keepers without exception made him feel welcome and were lavish in their responses to his innumerable and sometimes provocative questions. His respect (dare I say reverence?) for the old Sufi saints are equal in ardor to any devout Javanese worshipper. The writer’s marvelous, tactile description of the venerable 15th C. Demak mosque 25 km east of Semarang, is a case in point. There are myriad, priceless scenes of devoted pilgrims - a milling hubbub of murmuring prayer and singing in crowded incense-filled chambers. The text is populated by strange supernatural characters like Gatholoco, the “walking human penis;” a guardian of a holy mountain who became an icon of male vigor at 79; a Muslim saint who was gay and an atheist Sufi saint who took his dogs into the mosque. Others were outright tricksters like the wise pre-Islamic jester Semar. All the esteemed personages are echoes of Java’s ancient tantric heritage that fused Hindu-Buddhist tantra and yoga with Sufism. The majority of the saints were opponents of followers of austere Arab-style Islamic orthodoxy with their pretentions of Middle Eastern dress, their faux-pious mannerisms and claim to religious piety and learning. Bandit Saints of Java paints an astonishing portrait of Islam as it’s actually practiced today by many of Java’s 130 million people. The author is a superb, witty and entertaining writer who vividly records what he saw and felt close-up on the ground. Though some of the material is almost impossibly esoteric, the book’s most vital contribution in my mind is that it gives one faith that Indonesia’s lovely, animist native kajawen beliefs will endure in the end under the onslaught of the harsh tenets of hardline Islamist Wahhabism imported from Saudi Arabia. This erudite and well-researched study gives us the hope that Java will continue to hold dear its own soft, Sufi-inspired interpretation of Islam. Bandit Saints of Java by George Quinn, Monsoon Books 2018, ISBN 978-191-204-9448, paperback, 448 pages, dimensions 20 cm x 13 cm.

1. Literacy (Bahasa: Pohon Literasi). The club members encourage students to read for fun / pleasure. They will build a ‘Literacy Tree’ and ask the students to put a leaf on the tree with the title of the book they have read. This part of the program will be made possible by the generous donation of 300 - 600 library books from the RC of Bali Seminyak.

During the past six months a number of articles have appeared in the Bali Advertiser highlighting the many projects that the Rotary Club of Bali Seminyak has been involved in during the past few years. This specific article explains another important aspect of Rotary International, programs for young professional adults (Rotaract) and secondary school students (Interact).

2. Go-Green. The members will explain to the students about the different kinds of trash and how it should be separated and thrown into different containers (Organic, Inorganic & etc.). Furthermore, to assist the school with this part of the program the members will donate three containers to the school. Following the introduction of this activity, the members will play a game with the students with the aim to clean the school grounds.

What is a Rotaract Club? It is a service organization for young adults between the ages 18–30 that focuses on the development of leadership in their communities and workplaces. Club members should become responsible citizens, learn about leadership and team building skills, exchange ideas with community leaders that promote international peace and understanding. And most importantly – have fun doing volunteer work for community service projects.

3. Health. The members will demonstrate to the students how to brush their teeth properly. Two student dentists will do this demonstration using a model of a tooth. After the demonstration, the students will have an opportunity to show the members what they have learned because every student will be given their own toothbrush and toothpaste. Finally, the students will be given a short lesson in how to wash their hands properly.

What is an Interact Club? It is a service club for young people ages 12 to 18 with the purpose of developing leadership skills while discovering the power of Rotary International’s motto: ‘Service Above Self.’

What are the benefits for the students? • Take action to make a difference in a school and community • Become a leader in a school and community • Discover new cultures and promote international understanding • Have fun and make new friends from around the world During the past year the Doremi Excellent School (DES) Interactors have discussed and made plans for some the of following projects: • Make an organic garden at DES • Plant trees near DES • Read to DES preschool and primary students • Clean up the area around the DES Neighborhood • Clean up the a Park or Beach • Visit an orphanage

The Rotaract Club of Bali Seminyak (RAC Seminyak) currently has 15 energetic members who meet twice a month at the Doremi Excellent School located in Renon to discuss their activities and projects. During the past three years, the RAC Seminyak members have developed a program entitled L.I.G.H.T. (Literacy, GoGreen and Health) program. They have visited four different primary schools in Kerambitan, Tabanan with the idea of sharing their knowledge and encouraging the students to become better learners.

Building & Maintenance

Masih Hidup Electricity takes it’s name from the Latin “electrum” which in turn comes from the Greek “elektron” which, as we all know, means “amber”. “Amber?” I hear you think. Yes amber. You see the ancient Greeks had a habit of rubbing things and they noticed that if you rubbed amber with something furry (such as a dead cat) it attracted small objects to say nothing of suspicious looks from the neighbours. This attraction was caused by electrons, teeny weeny little blighters that are so small they run around inside atoms.

electrical systems are probably trying to do things correctly but mistakes are often made through a lack of knowledge. Unfortunately, however, there are also those who simply don’t care or who, through laziness, change things in your circuits to save themselves work and end up leaving your house in a dangerous condition.

3. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB). This is the one component that is designed to save your life. It switches the power off instantaneously if it detects a fault, so quickly in fact that the power is switched off before it can do you any harm. Unfortunately ELCBs are very sensitive (they have to be) and so, once again, our lazy Satay Wafter rather than going to all the trouble of finding the fault and repairing it they bypass the ELCB making it ineffective and putting your life at risk. Note that ELCBs will not work if there is not a good earth connection.

Near Surabaya there is a large factory where they abuse electrons. They have a great big piece of amber and thousands of people rub it with dead cats. The electrons get really excited and they set off down a wire to Bali so we can use them to drive our air conditioners, water pumps and electric nasal hair clippers. Electrons can be very useful but don’t be fooled by their small size, when they get out of control they cause all sorts of mischief, they set fire to things and electrocute people. All across Indonesia electrical faults are causing fires and deaths on a daily basis. In the first week of 2019 166 families lost their homes in Jakarta in two major fires caused by electrical faults. Closer to home we recently hear of yet another fire, this time in Sanur where the offices of a tourism business burned down and, as is so often the case, the cause is believed to be an electrical fault. The fact is that if electrical systems are correctly installed, most of these fires would not be occurring and not so many people would be dying in their swimming pools, fish ponds and showers. Unfortunately, in a country without effective training or certification, capable electricians are rarer than hen’s teeth and the highly skilled tradesman who turns up your door may well have learned his inestimable skills wafting satay or picking up fag ends. To be fair many of the people who are working on your

time it switches off you will be toast however, if working correctly, it should stop a fire. Unfortunately MCBs often don’t work because our lazy Satay Wafter, faced with the problem of having to find and repair a fault, may instead install a larger MCB to stop it cutting out - a very common practice. If, when you have a problem, your main PLN circuit breaker (the blue one on the meter) switches off but the MCBs do not, then you know that the MCBs are too large.

To comply with the legal requirements laid down in the national electrical standard (SNI 04-0225-2000) electrical circuits should have safety measures built into them that will protect us from fire and electrocution even if the rest of the wiring is poor. These measure have three important components: 1. An earth connection which connects all your plug sockets and electrical equipment to earth. The earth is designed to drain electricity from your circuits should there be a short circuit. Many buildings in Indonesia do not have adequate earth connections, a situation probably due to a lack of understanding of how important earthing is and how it should be installed. 2. Safety switches or MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) should be installed on each circuit in your electrical panel. If there is a short circuit and a large current flows through a circuit, the MCB is designed to switch itself off. Contrary to popular belief an MCB will NOT save your life, by the

So, to keep safe, you need: 1. A good earth connection. 2. Contact breakers that are not too large. 3. An Earth Leakage Detector. How many buildings do I see that have these three vital components correctly installed? Sadly far too few. To protect yourself and your property from wayward electrons, get your electrical systems checked and do not let incompetent people anywhere near your electrical circuits.

MONEY MATTERS Picking Up The Pieces From a Grim Year 2018 could hardly have ended in a more depressing fashion. Bad news abounded, ranging from the tsunami affecting the Sunda Strait to the global market correction wiping out all the gains of the previous year, leaving investors and pension holders poorer than they were at the beginning of 2018. What is important now is to put the events into perspective and develop a strategy to face the future. Krakatoa – East of Java This was the title of a dramatic film made in 1969 depicting the last days of the original Krakatoa (now spelt Krakatau) island before it exploded and collapsed into the sea in August 1883 sending a 40 meter tsunami crashing down on neighbouring coasts. A very similar event, albeit on a smaller scale, occurred on the night of Saturday 23rd December 2018. Krakatoa of course is west of Java, not east; a small detail overlooked by Hollywood but the scenes of terror depicted must have been relived in reality by those tragically caught up in the latest event. The film and short sections of it, as well as very informative documentaries, can be found on YouTube.

always remain of volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis and when you look at the three major disasters to hit Indonesia in the past six months, first Lombok then Palu and now Krakatau, it is clear there is no room for complacency. This doesn’t mean expats should consider leaving these tropical isles to return to the safe havens of Nether Wallop or similar refuge in our home countries. Living here has many pluses, but with the benefits come a few risks. The solution is to recognise the risks and work out ways to lessen them. Fortifying the home to withstand earthquakes is an obvious one. If you live near the coast make sure you have a plan to escape to higher ground in the event of a tsunami. Be well informed; it is possible to sign up free of charge with the United States Geological Survey (https://earthquake.usgs. gov/earthquakes/) for e-mail alerts on earthquakes and you can check www.tsunami.gov for tsunami warnings. Keep them bookmarked if you live by the coast! Check that you have insurance to cover such events. If you are running a tourist-related business, make sure you also have assets in other places; don’t have all your eggs in one basket. 2018 a bad year for investors also

•

2018 was the worst year for global markets since 2008 and December alone saw a bigger fall in US stocks for that month since the Great Depression.

Why is this relevant to a column about finance? Well, survival comes first of course and those who lost their lives cannot be brought back. But those who did survive are now faced with making a living in a place where tourists are unlikely to return for a long time to come, especially while Anak Krakatau which arose from the sea decades after its parent disappeared, continues to threaten. They are not alone with their fears; memories of the Lombok earthquakes in August are still fresh in people’s minds and for the people of Palu and Donggala the triple horrors in October of earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction mean that life will never be the same again. Bali too has had its share of both natural and man-made disasters in recent years. The island has recovered remarkably and quickly from bombings and natural phenomena such as Agung’s eruption. But the threat will

You might consider seeing your investments or pension fall by 20% over the year as a disaster in its own right. But experienced investors will appreciate that this is the nature of the beast; to beat cash you have to accept bad years as well as good years and have faith in the fact that historically investors in the world’s stock markets have come out on top in the long run. Some see stock market investing as gambling but true investors are putting their money for the longer term into companies and industries that keep the world turning. But why did markets fall so sharply in 2018? Some will say this was a natural and necessary part of the normal market cycle. Not all markets followed suit but major markets and the US in particular had enjoyed a 10-year ‘bull’ market and a correction was overdue. But corrections need a trigger and we had no shortage of these during the year. Here are some of the obvious ones: • Trade wars – started because President Trump felt the

US was getting a raw deal from other countries. The ‘easy’ money available from stimulus action following the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 had strengthened the US economy but was now threatening to lead to inflation. Hence the decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates four times during 2018. High interest rates help to control inflation but can reduce economic activity. The decision to raise interest rates made Trump angry as he thought stimulus should be a permanent feature and his comments about the Fed., which is meant to be an independent body like central banks in other countries, unsettled the markets. Stalemate over Trump’s campaign promise for a wall along the length of the Mexican border led to a partial shutdown of government before Christmas, as he could not get the support he needed to raise US$5 billion. Brexit. A potential disaster for the UK and a bad example to other countries that might also give way to nationalistic and populist movements. Brexit must have been music to Putin’s ears as he relished the prospect of a weaker Europe. At the end of the year the outcome was still very uncertain. The global threat to retail trading grew significantly in 2018 as more and more space was vacated in shopping malls and high streets throughout the world and some 150,000 jobs lost in the UK alone. The cause? The rapid growth of online sales. Good for disruptive companies like Amazon but a disaster for many small businesses and even some large brand names.

The list is not exhaustive but there was clearly enough bad news around to frighten people out of the markets. Which is a pity because it was business as usual for companies that don’t hit the headlines, like manufacturers of domestic items, food chains, plane makers, companies in leisure and entertainment etc. And there are plenty of innovative companies turning in very healthy profits. In short, the fundamentals for earnings growth and expansion to meet the needs of a growing global population are still in place. If you want to be part of it then you have to remain in the markets or use this window of opportunity to get into them. While we do not know if the bottom of the market has been reached, we do know for certain that prices are significantly lower than they were a year ago. In short, provided you have ample cash reserves and insurance in place, bad news can be good news in the long term if you can put all the noise into perspective.

According to a representative from one massive brand of mineral water wrapped in singleuse plastic, the idea behind producing packaged water in Indonesia was two-fold: 1. To provide safe drinking water for foreign visitors to Indonesia who were more susceptible to stomach complaints caused by contaminated water and 2. To save the under privileged from abject poverty by providing them with clean drinking water. The more serious of these diseases would have been cholera: still a problem world-wide for developing countries and even developed countries in times of natural disaster. The “solution” from private mineral water companies would be filtration and then mass packaging: the smaller, the seemingly cheaper for the consumer. Note that at this time in Indonesia it was still safe to drink water from many water sources in Indonesia, and that boiling water was still a viable option for those areas where water sources were known to be contaminated.

No doubt these serious diseases are not to be messed with, but we have to look at their source. In the 1970s few homes particularly in Bali and poorer islands had toilets, so the river was the most common option. It is highly likely that the culture of doing ones ablutions in the river would have led to human fecal contamination of water sources. In hindsight, the proper solution would have been: 1. Installation of toilets in all houses across Indonesia with either the basic septic tanks system that exists now in most places or ideally a proper sewerage system (yes, even the Romans had one around 2,800 years ago); 2. Education about how to make water potable: using a basic stone or ceramic filter or boil water for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Instead, we had what? A few companies taking advantage of the people by selling them processed water from their motherland. Today Balinese are so addicted to single-use plastic and too scared to trust anything but packaged water: it is now officially ingrained in their culture. Ironically, Balinese think they are avoiding one health problem but are actually heading for something far more serious: contamination of one’s body, water sources, oceans, soil, salt, food, you name it from tiny fibres we call micro-plastics found not only in the environment as these packages are littered but also in a high percentage of the water itself.

North Bali Airport could be a game changer the land has no constraints. In terms of location, he told Bisnis, the site “was also very good because there were no social or religious obstacles such as Hindu holy places or temples.” Koster also added it would be built to higher specifications and quality than the current airport at Ngurah Rai and with Balinese themes with the hope that it would become not just a new icon for Bali, but for the whole of Indonesia.

The construction of the new Bali airport in Kubutambahan in Buleleng Regency will begin in 2020, according to reporting in local news wires. Bali Governor, I Wayan Koster made the announcement in a speech at the Arts Centre in Denpasar on New Year’s Eve following surveys and feasibility studies involving the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, the Director General of Air Transportation Polana B. Pramesti, Governor Koster and Buleleng Regent Putu Agus Suradnyana. “We reviewed the location to be used for the construction of the new Bali airport in Kubutambahan using 370 hectares of land belonging to the Kubutambahan customary village plus 50 hectares from the traditional Sani village,” said Koster. According to Polana, not many people live in the area and

The public consultation process for the construction of the new airport began on December 19 and a timetable for immediate implementation has already been drawn up. Construction is expected to begin in 2020 and to be completed within 4-years. A fully operational airport is slated to be open for business for 2025. Koster believes the North Bali airport will be of great benefit not only to the regencies of Karangasem, Bangli and Jembrana but also to Bali as a whole as it would address the current imbalance of wealth and development between the north and south of the island. There is no other way to address this balance, Koster told Detik as equitable development is for everyone’s benefit and he asked local communities to support the project as it is “for the common interest, for the future of all of us,” he said. The hope is this will also fast track much needed infrastructural development. Gapura Bali reported in April 2018 on the opportunities this could bring, quoting Antara News and Vice Governor Kerta as saying that in order for the new airport project to be successful it must run in tandem with the construction of expressways, sport tourism, world trade centers,

Week One: Bali residents transition to plastic-free shopping As of January 1, Denpasar city government’s ban on plastic bags in “modern” stores-namely convenience stores and supermarkets-came into full effect. The prohibition, which was announced by Mayor Rai Mantra in October last year, came just a few weeks ahead of an island-wide ban on single-use plastics like straws, Styrofoam and poly bags. The latter policy was signed and agreed by Bali Governor Wayan Koster just before Christmas, and is aimed at producers, businesses and individuals in the hopes that the province’s plastic waste can be reduced by 60-70 percent, according to a report by Bali Post. But while Koster’s decree carries a six month grace period, the plastic bag ban in Denpasar is already in full swing. On Wednesday, Denpasar’s Environmental and Hygiene Agency’s (DLHK) carried out inspections to see how consumers and retailers were adapting to the initial plastic bag ban. Led by I Ketut Wisada, Head of DLHK, officers visited a number of shopping centers, supermarkets and convenience stores in the region. According to a report by Bali Post, the

yacht harbors monorails and train links. The issue of access to the site is already being addressed. Koster has already inaugurated the Denpasar-Buleleng short cut road that starts at points 5-6 in Pegayaman Village, which is targeted to be completed by 2021. Koster’s plan was warmly welcomed by Buleleng Regent Suradnyana, according to Detik, who was optimistic the airport will create momentum to improve the welfare of the people in northern Bali. The new airport is being funded through a structure of cooperation between the government and business entities according to Mohamad Pramintohadi Sukarno, Director of the Airport Directorate General of Air Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation. Detik are reporting the Minister of Transportation as suggesting the new airport will be serving Low Cost Carriers (LCC), while the island’s current airport at Ngurah Rai would focus mainly on high-end travelers. Terje Nilsen, Principal of Harcourts Seven Stones told WILLIAMS MEDIA he believes the development of Bali’s north coast will provide some exciting property investment opportunities in the very near future. “The area is relatively untouched when compared to the tourist magnets in the south and it’s a great opportunity to learn from the mistakes the south has made,” he says. “My hope is there’s a stronger focus on planning, environmental awareness and local community development and businesses that support these initiatives are encouraged to become actively involved. It will then be a win-win situation for everyone.” [Gapura Bali January 4, 2019]

investigation revealed that while many retailers had switched to reusable bags or cardboard boxes, some stores were still offering plastic bags. Wisada also noted that communication on the matter could be improved. “The prohibition on using plastic bags is still unclear to some shoppers. (A notice) must be placed at the cash register so that it can be clearly read,” he said to the source. There has also been criticism of the lack of clarity as to the consequences for violating the regulation. Speaking to Tribun Bali, activist Luh De Dwi Jayanthi of non-profit organisation Plastik Detox Bali, said, “As far as we can see, it seems like the sanctions for violations of the regulation are not clear.” On the whole though, the public reaction seems to have been positive. AA Ngurah Agung Agra Putra, the operational manager of the Ayu Nadi supermarket group, expressed the need for a collaborative community effort. “We hope that people will be wiser in using plastic as well as participating in the joint effort of protecting the environment.

The government, employers and communities must work together to protect the environment,” he commented to the source. Despite a few early teething problems, efforts towards a cleaner, more eco-minded Bali appear to be going well, with Denpasar’s stance on single-use plastics paving the way for Koster’s island-wide ban, which will come into full effect in June.

The passport rule that could derail your holiday in Bali A passenger, whose name was not disclosed, recounted an incident on Christmas Day when she and her partner weren’t allowed to board a Batik Air flight at Perth Airport because her passport was damaged. She was told by Batik Air staff that a policy was being enforced in Denpasar, Bali, which prohibited passengers from flying if even ‘the slightest imperfection’ was found in their passport. The passenger was also told that the Indonesian airline had been previously fined and passengers had to be sent back to Perth, which led to tighter restrictions. ‘They told me that in response that they had stopped 20 passengers with damaged passports from flying to Bali in the past month,’ she told The West Australian. Bali-bound Australian passengers have had their holidays ruined after being turned away from flights because their passports are damaged. In an unexpected travel crackdown on tourists, Indonesian authorities are imposing heavier restrictions and fines on airlines that carry passengers with damaged passports. Passengers are being sent back home and airlines could face fines of $5,000 USD if holidaymakers are let through with crumpled pages, according to The West Australian.

Some passengers scrambled to snap up flights with AirAsia after reports they were allowing people with damaged passports. But a statement from the airline suggested otherwise. ‘Passengers are responsible for ensuring they have the correct documentation for travel and that there are no signs of damage, especially to the ID pages and biometric chip,’ an AirAsia spokesman said. Passengers are also reminded to ensure their passport is in good condition before traveling. ‘Serious damage to a passport could prevent a person from travelling overseas,’ a Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade (DFAT) spokesman said. ‘All Australian citizens must have a valid passport before leaving Australia and maintain a valid passport while overseas. Some countries will not let a person enter unless their passport is valid for six months from when they plan to leave that country’. DFAT has also reminded the public that maintaining a valid passport is essential, given that its validity may be questioned if the passport is not in good condition. Keeping your passport in good condition ensures its validity for travel. A damaged passport may prevent you from traveling overseas. A passport is damaged if: 1. It has had contact with water and other liquids 2. The pages in the passport have been torn or removed 3. The photos and personal details in the passport are illegible or unclear 4. There is evidence of alteration or tampering in any part of the passport If unsure, it is best to seek advice from the Australian Information Service or from an Australian consulate. You may also take your passport to an Australian Passport Office for assessment. [Daily Mail January 2, 2019]

Bali Police raid reveals child prostitution syndicate in Sanur Five underage sex workers between the ages of 14 and 17 have been secured by Bali Police Criminal Investigation Unit after they carried out a raid on Friday, January 4 in a Sanur neighborhood. Working together with a children’s rights group, police were alerted to the illegal operation by Anggrek, a sixteen-year-old girl from Bekasi who had escaped the brothel through a window during the new year. According to a report in Tribune Bali, Anggrek had been lured from her home in Java on the promise of lawful employment. “When she arrived, she was shocked to discover that she was not going be a waitress or a girl selling drinks, but she would be selling herself, and was immediately displayed in a glass window,” said Luh Putu Anggreni, the Chair of Denpasar Integrated Care Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children (P2PT2). Thanks to a collaborative effort with Denpasar P2PT2, Bali Police have arrested two suspects in connection with trafficking the child prostitutes. Known only by their initials, NKS, 49, and NWK, 51, the pair were seized at an address on Jl.

Sekar Waru, Sanur, as reported by IDN Times Bali. Bali Police spokesman Hengky Widjadya confirmed that investigations had revealed that the five victims had initially been tempted to travel to Bali by agents in Bekasi, Java, who promised them jobs with monthly salaries of IDR5 millionIDR11 million (US$354.17-US$779.18), and comfortable housing. “But when they arrived at the crime scene, the victims were instead sold as prostitutes, displayed and sexually exploited at a rate of IDR250,00-IDR300,000 (US$17.75 - US$21.27) per hour,” he said to Tribun Bali. In an official statement on Saturday, Ai Maryati Solihah, the Commissioner of Trafficking and Exploitation of Children from The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), expressed her appreciation towards Bali Police for dismantling the trafficking syndicate and closing down the operation. She explained that the victims were traumatized because they faced tremendous pressure at the place. Luh Putu Anggreni of Denpasar P2PT2 explained some of these pressures. “All the elements of trafficking were present in this case. There

is debt bondage, which means as soon as they arrive, they are in debt. The victims must repay their ticket costs as well as various other equipment costs,” she explained. While the victims have been taken to a safehouse in Tabanan, the perpetrators face charges concerning human trafficking and a maximum 15-year sentence, according to local-language news site, Bisnis.

Say What? Question: I am in my mid-40’s and my husband died about 18 months ago. He was sick for some time, and I coped better than I thought I would. I have continued on with my life in many ways though I do still miss him and think about him every day. I loved him when he was alive, and I continue to love him now that he’s not. I don’t think I need to start dating right away, but I do get lonely sometimes, so at some point I would like to find another guy to be with. My main concern is, however, that if I do start dating again, I think I’ll always be comparing the new person to my husband. The poor new guy will not have a chance of measuring up. How do I deal with the issue of comparing other men to my husband? Should I be starting to date again now on the basis that I will always feel like I’m not fully ready, or will I eventually feel like the time is right? If/when I do date someone new, when should I tell him about my husband, and how much detail should I go into? I am not generally someone who is very comfortable sharing my feelings with people I don’t know well, but I have no difficulty talking about my husband, his illness, or his death in practical, non-emotional terms. I don’t want to overwhelm someone with too much information in the early stages of a relationship; but at the same time, I don’t want them to feel I’m lying or deliberately keeping my husband a secret.

Dr. ZZ:

I am so sorry for your loss. It is completely understandable that you will grieve for your husband for a long time, and also completely understandable that you will

compare new potential dating partners to him. Everyone is going to bring their history with them into their relationships, so forgive yourself. This isn’t something you are inflicting on other potential partners; it’s just your reality. You will also not be the only person who has loved someone else and then had to rebuild a different life from the one they planned. In many ways you are in the same boat as anyone with a significant ex, trying to figure out the same stuff. The decision to date again may feel like a really fateful decision - like you’re leaving something behind or at last saying goodbye to the life you dreamed of with your husband - but it doesn’t have to be. If you use an online dating site, you can flip the disc whenever you want to. Go on a flurry of dates. Take 6 months or a year off. Go on another date. Take another few months off. There’s no one day you have to say “I AM READY NOW” and then commit to that. You can make it up as you go along and be as ready or unready as you care to be. There is no rush. Maybe throw yourself into travel or study or friendships or family for a while and save dating for when you feel as if it might be fun - not because it’s something you feel you have to do. You will almost definitely compare theoretical new partners to your husband. That’s okay, especially at first. You were lucky enough to figure out what you want from a relationship early in life. It is only really a problem if you find a relationship that is good for you and making you happy but start looking for ways to sabotage it by comparing your new love interest to your husband. Think of it this way: If you go on a lot of first dates, you probably won’t form a deep, lasting connection with most

people you meet. That is normal and not a bad thing at all. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you or with any of those people, just that most people aren’t right for you, and you’re not right for them. It’s ill-advised for anyone to approach a first date with the idea that this person is going to be your future spouse and to put all the pressure of measuring up to that ideal on someone right from the start. Just because you were fully committed to one person in the past doesn’t mean that your default settings are now set on “fully committed,” and that you have to work out all the details of your future on your first date over sushi. As for telling others about your husband, let it come up naturally when talking about past relationships. With someone you really like, this will probably not happen until a few dates in. You can keep the story short and simple and true, “I was married once before, and he died of a terminal illness.” You don’t have to lie or act like you’re over it or like it’s no big deal. Someone who really likes you and wants to get to know you will be okay with whatever you bring to the relationship. As more time goes by and as you meet more people, the relentless comparisons are going to slow down and fade. Five years from now your life is going to look completely different than it does right now. When you do find someone that you really connect with, that person will be awesome in many of the same ways your husband was but also in many ways of his own. Your memories and love for your husband will still be part of you, but he will not burn so brightly as to eclipse everyone else.

Dr. ZZ has a Ph.D. in Counseling and a doctorate in Natural Healing. Drawing on a background of over thirty years as a professional therapist, she offers self-help in the areas health, relationship and personal growth.
