R O TA R Y NEWS Rotary Needs You!!! Regular readers to “Rotary News” column will know that all clubs ,world-wide, focus on three main issues – HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WATER SUPPLIES. There are so many “arms” to each, that projects are wide and diverse! We are all constantly looking and thinking of what we can do next. Of course as I have said in the past, projects come at a cost and hence we all pay yearly fees plus fund raise. Donations from commercial or private sources are extremely welcome! District and Global Grants help clubs to fund their projects. Also clubs may join together to share the funding of projects.

usually affiliated to a Rotary club in the area as they do not have funds of their own. Many of their projects/activities centre around children and education. One example, helping to set up a library in remote areas where the schools cannot afford to do this. Then hopefully they move on to become a full Rotarian! Secondly, clubs organise events to promote “Rotary” with lots of information, photos, literature etc. However this can be a difficult exercise as people lead such busy lives and weekends usually centres around children, families and relaxation.

So Rotary starts with the young – going to schools and talking to the 12-18 year olds, explaining and encouraging them to become “Interacts”, encouraging them to ask questions, in some ways like scouting. From there we hope they progress to “Roteracts” 18-30, Roteracts are

So, just a few ways people have discovered Rotary and their reasons to becoming members.

Thirdly, word of mouth, Members chatting to friends, telling them of their experiences as a Rotarian – meeting people from all over the world, the opportunity when travelling to visit other clubs , again meeting new people. Personally I have met Rotarians from USA, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, UK, Canada, and Australia to name a few! Some may ask how projects get started, a member has an idea, and they research it, write a project plan and present it to the members for approval! Thanks is not our aim,more so, just to see happy smiling faces, less hardship and better conditions, is all the thanks you need. So I decided to ask some prospective members a few questions, if they did not mind?

However, we are always looking to recruit new members as the title says “Rotary Needs You”!! People join while still in the workforce, often moving from area to area where jobs take them and once a member they transfer to clubs in their new area. Many retired people join, as they too move, and look to something new!

area where we lived, due to the lakes crossing two nations, polluted water and water rights became an international issue. So water projects would definitely interest us and hopefully we can become involved in them. Education is another area that interests us, having IT and accounting backgrounds we are willing to share in any way! B – I have a background in health care, from children through to the elderly, so hopefully there may be some new or ongoing projects I can contribute to.

1. What brought you to Rotary? A – After retiring to Bali from overseas and settling into our new home we decided that we wanted to give something back to this beautiful island and its people who are giving us so much. We also wanted to find a group of international people who focussed on helping people. B – Chatting to friends who were already Rotarians, got me thinking that possibly I had something to offer with a background in health care. 2- How did you find out about the clubs? A – We searched the internet for groups in our area that met our criteria- service, and an international membership. B – Some of the friends we have were already Rotarians. 3 – What projects do you think you would like to get involved in? A – We are very concerned about the water pollution, lack of water and the effects it can have on communities. Coming from an area where steel mills were active, and once closed leaving polluted water that caused many health issues, we have seen first-hand the results of polluted water. In another

Rotary is NOT just about fund raising; and working on projects, there is also a very strong social side. The friends you make, the bonds you form and if you are living alone it could be the social interaction you need plus being involved in interesting and sometimes exciting events! Visiting remote areas, meeting wonderful local people, a far cry from “city life”!! Hopefully I have removed some of the negative ideas some people have about Rotary? Come along, to a meeting, see for yourself, there are many clubs in Bali, just check out the Internet!! ROTARY NEEDS YOU!!!

Alternative Voice More Bang for your Buck S.E. Asian Art market pays off for mid-range Players In 1891 French painter Paul Gauguin aged 42 scandalised large sections of French society abandoning his country, his wife and a respectable profession as a stockbroker to live and paint in Tahiti and the Marquesas, where he died in 1903. His colourful and symbolic style influenced many artists of the day, including Picasso, and his writings the imaginations of many writers and artists, dreaming of an unfettered creative life in a far off South Sea island. Fast forward two decades when this two-dimensional escapist fantasy came into focus, fleshed out with the publication of naturalist and photographer Gregor Krause’s text and photos of Bali, based on his field trips made in the years directly preceding the Great of War of 1914-18. Faithfully describing the culture and natural lifestyle with numerous photos of beautiful bare breasted young women bathing and equally beautiful young males, the effect of this book among many men in a traumatised and sexually repressed post-war Europe was potent . Unknown Bali was now on the map for well-heeled tourists, like men on the make Charlie Chaplin, his brother Sydney and Noel Coward, along with artists Walter Spies and Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur, all of them representing respective aspects of male sexuality and who, in the case of the two artists, finding a home in Bali. They were followed by a dozen or so other European artists, who lived and worked in Bali through the mid-20th century achieving varying degrees of recognition. No need now to go to the South Pacific for your tropical paradise when Bali, at least half a planet nearer, beckons with a lot more to offer. Whether of not Walter Spies and Le Mayeur were the most accomplished of European artists in Bali and whether or not any of these European artists had any lasting or significant effect on Indonesian art is arguable. What is apparent is that, whatever influence they may or may not have, in terms of success the work of such painters can be a very attractive sub-genre for collectors of SouthEast Asian art. To wit, take a look at the top ten most expensive Indonesian paintings sold to date: 1. “La Chasse au Taureau Sauvage” (1855) by Raden Saleh (1807-80) Sold: January, 2018, Vannes, France for US$8.8m. Dimensions: 110 x 180 cm 2. Soldiers Led by Prince Diponegoro (1979) by Sindudarsono Sudjojono (1914-86) Sold: April 2014, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$7.53m. Dimensions: 100 x 199.5 cm 3. Bali Life (1974) by Lee Man Fong (1913-88) Sold: November 2013, Christie’s Hong Kong for US$4.64m. Dimensions: 100 x 243 cm 4. “Ali Sadikin & the Independence Struggle” (1978) by Hendra Gunawan (1918-83) Sold: October, 2014, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$4.29m. Dimensions: 200 x 302 cm 5. “A View From The Heights” (1934) by Walter Spies (1895-1942)

Sold: October, 2013, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$4.06m. Dimensions: 100.5 x 82.5 cm 6. “Women Around the Lotus Pond” (1951) by Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès (1880-1958) Sold: May 30, 2016, Christie’s Hong Kong for US$3.91m. Dimensions: 150 x 200 cm (see picture)

7. “The Dice Game from the Mahabharata Epic” (1971) by Hendra Gunawan Sold: April 2015, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$3.39m. Dimensions: 202 x 386 cm 8. “Borobudur and the Sun” (1984) by Affandi (1907-90) Sold: October 2016, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$1.26m. Dimensions: 149.5 x 195 cm 9. “The Ruins and the Piano” (1956) by Sindudarsono Sudjojono Sold: May 2017, Christie’s Hong Kong for US$1.16m. Dimensions: 126 x 200 cm 10. “The Man From Bantul” (2000) by I Nyoman Masriadi (b.1973) Sold: October, 2008, Sotheby’s Hong Kong for US$1m. Dimensions: 250 x 435 cm It is interesting to note three things from this list. First the presence of the three foreigners: Chinese/Singaporean Lee Man Fong, Walter Spies from Germany and Le Mayeur born in Belgium. Second, the perennial appeal of patriotism as subject matter to Indonesian collectors, and thirdly that only one of these artists making the top ten is Balinese. Perhaps the most striking fact to emerge from this list is the commercial success of Le Mayeur, an accomplished second tier painter who did solid earlier work in his travels around Europe and the Maghreb but whose work in Bali, where he lived for most of his career, can only be described as deliciously or excessively florid, depending on taste. His “Women around the Lotus Pond” painted in 1951 purchased in that year by an English physician living in then Malaya, lusciously portrays his wife Ni Pollok (centre right), her female friends and relatives doing - I’m not quite sure what, in the blossomy garden of their home on the beach in Sanur. This larger work (150 x 200cm) was sold by Christies in Hong Kong for the princeley sum of US$3,910,000 in May 2016.

The reason I find this interesting is that I was in Hong Kong and present at the Christies auction of Southeast Asian art held in May 2007 when this painting had gone under the hammer for US$2,270,000, well over double the high end of the auctioneer’s estimated selling price. This at a time when contemporary Chinese art of dubious merit, photographically depicting subject matter of a faintly disturbing sub-surreal nature, was all the rage and commanding truly eye-watering prices. That genre seems to have gone South today, but Le Mayeur’s well-executed chocolate box style sails on impervious, its appeal unassailable. In just nine years the value of this painting went up by over 72 percent. Fact is, if you pick your artist with care you can reasonably expect a 10% per annum appreciation of your asset. Given the vagaries of “owning” property in Indonesia that strikes me as a sound investment. Contemporary Asian art is not like Europe or the US where there’s VAT, sales and capital gains tax. It just keeps going up at a steady 10 percent a year. In other words you get to cover the walls of your bloody great mansion, make a packet of money when you change the wallpaper, and be a cultivated supporter of all things Asian, and quite possibly a patriot, all at the same time. It is actually quite simple to play this game successfully. Quite obviously, you don’t need an eye for good art. If you do, it may make things more interesting but is just as likely to lead to a bad investment decision as a good one. All you have to do is follow a few simple rules. First you have to have enough money to enter the game, preferably around US$500K mark. As in other areas, size matters. You want it in oil and large, but not institutionally so. The Le Mayeur painting at 150 x 200 cm is good. Pick your artist with care, study form but not obsessively. You want an artist with an established sales record with room to improve. Select works with an existing wide appeal. 19th Century Asian patriotism is good and ‘pretty’ seldom goes wrong. Steer clear of modern or abstract art unless you can afford a higher entry point – or really do know what you’re doing. Don’t muck about, buy and sell with Christies and Sothebys. They know how to play this game and once you’ve paid the ante the other guy pays their bill. If this sounds pro forma and dull, you’d be right –apart from the money. Collecting art is best treated as a pleasureable hobby reflecting your discernment and taste, which just might come good for you at some later date, just so long as you don’t bank on it.

Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review Worth a Detour! Warung D’Uma Tapan is one of the new wave of warungs, operated by young local industry professionals and offering a mix of restaurant and warung food. In the famous Guide Michelin guide books of dining in Europe, they seek out and mention those out of the way places that offer excellent food at reasonable prices, they state that they are ‘worth a detour’. Well this one at Saba, almost opposite the entrance to the Ibu Kasih hospital, just off the Sanur to Candi Dasa expressway, certainly qualifies for that accolade.

Owned by a group of teachers, each with vast industry experience in 5 star hotels and fine dining restaurants, from the famous Gianyar hospitality college, Monarch, and staffed by a group of their most talented ex students, it is a great example of the new Bali! It is a pleasant, clean two level site offering great tasty food at very low prices, and smiles everywhere. Whether it is just to drop in for a drink and a snack or for a full meal there is something for everybody, local, expat or tourist. My first visit was just for snacks, and I was very impressed. Now chicken Wings are on hundreds of Bali menus, it is usually a safe option for both the restaurant and the customer but at Warung D’uma Tapan they are exceptional [pictured], a dish for which one plate is not enough, certainly too good to share, so order extras. There are other simple entrees or snacks. The standard Spring Rolls are also much better than what is normally served in warungs, these are vegetarian ones, thin crisp casings and with good dips, excellent. Salads can be the international Caesar or an interesting local Pomelo Salad with avocado, tomato and prawns added to the pomelo flesh. Pomelo, apart from being the

largest of all citrus fruits also has many health benefits when consumed regularly. Pomelo also appears in many dishes here.

QUICK REVIEW

Soups can be the very Indonesian Soto Ayam [chicken soup with boiled egg, tomato, vegetables and noodles] or a once Thai soup now almost an adopted Indonesian one as it appears on menus all over, Tom Yum Goong [hot and sour prawns and mushroom]

Kwetiau Goreng is one of Indonesia’s favourite street foods. Flat rice noodles with a range of additives. They are also the house special at Warung D’uma Tapan. They can be with tofu for a vegetarian experience or pork, seafood or a wonderful chicken version that also has egg added in the form of a small omelettelike roll on top to the stir fry, served on a banana leaf, very good. Other local dishes include the very Balinese Babi Kecap and Chicken Sambal Matah. For all chilli dishes you can ask for ‘normal’ or ‘spicy’. Asian options include Nasi Goreng in many styles, Bakmi Goreng with fried noodles, and satays. Or there is the universal Sweet and Sour Chicken.

European mains can be an excellent Cordon Bleu with your choice of ham or bacon, a Black Pepper Chicken Steak, or Chicken Parmigiana and a range of Spaghetti dishes [Bolognese, Carbonara, Pomodoro or Marinara]. Rice Bowls have become very popular, once a New York thing, now everywhere. Here they do them here very well and so cheap! There are Teriyaki Tofu or Chicken, or a sensational Chicken Pomelo, the chicken being first marinated in pomelo and orange juices, then breaded and stir fried in that marination with pomelo flesh and other ingredients added, the result is chicken pieces so tender and with a taste to remember. For those who want to eat simple, there are hamburgers [chicken or beef], and sandwiches [Club or Open] For dessert, the usual Fruit Salad, Ice Creams or Banana Split and one unusual one, a Banana Roll, banana and cheese rolled together in a spring roll wrapper and deep fried, served with ice cream. Beer drinkers who pop in for a cool one on the way past are amazed at the Bucket of Beer offer, 5 bottles of Prost beer and a bowl of French Fries for just Rp. 95,000! All together a most honest attempt to produce a range of local and foreign food options at very low prices, all done with that Bali smile, they deserve to succeed.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH Circumcision…Why? Why Not? Circumcision is the removal of the flap of skin, which naturally covers the tip of the penis. Many people, including some doctors, have very strong feelings about circumcision. There are conflicting points of view about the risks and possible benefits of circumcision. Legal and ethical issues about circumcision are also being widely discussed. Medical specialists in Australia have concluded that there is no medical reason for routine circumcisions of newborn male infants. Why has circumcision been done? • Circumcision has been done for several thousand years. It may have started as a hygiene measure in communities living in hot, dry, dusty climates, and then became a cultural and religious ritual. • Now most circumcisions are done for family, cultural or religious reasons. • Sometimes circumcision needs to be done for medical reasons, such as when the foreskin is too tight. Why parents choose not to have their baby circumcised? • They are aware that it is natural to have a foreskin, and it plays an important role in protecting the delicate end of the penis, especially while nappies are being worn. • They want to avoid an operation, because any operation has some risks. Complications are rare, but there can be bleeding, infection and damage to the tip of the penis. • Circumcision of can be painful for the child, both at the time of the operation and for some days after. Why parents choose to have their baby circumcised? • Many parents who choose circumcision want it for

cultural reasons, or so that their son will look like his father or other family members (perhaps older brothers). • Circumcision prevents some infections under the foreskin which may happen in infancy and later childhood. However if they occur, they can be treated without the need for a circumcision. Boys who have been circum cised can also get infections of the tip of the penis (also uncommon). Think about it….would you pullout your child’s teeth if it decreases the risk of dental caries?...or if he forgot to brush his teeth? Having circumcision done safely Some parents will decide to have their child circumcised. • They need to be sure that their doctor refers them to a surgeon (who will do the operation) who is skilful and who has had a lot of experience in doing circumcisions, and an appropriate anesthetic should be used so that the boy does not have a lot of pain. • The place where the operation is done needs to be able to provide good care for the child (usually in a hospital). • In most hospitals overseas a small piece of equipment called a “plastibell” is used to give an even and safe roll back and removal of the foreskin. This equipment is not available in indonesia. For this reason I strongly recommend that you do not have your baby boys (infants) circumsised in this country. It is true, most men are circumcised in this country in accordance with Islamic tradition, however this is performed on prepubescent boys and not on infants. The procedure on babies and grown boys is very different. • To reduce the risks and discomfort for the child, the operation is best done under a general anesthetic after the age of six months. Looking after the penis and foreskin in infants In male babies and young boys, the foreskin is still attached to the glans (tip of the penis). • Do not try to push the foreskin of a young boy back until it can move freely by itself. Pushing it away from the glans

• • •

may cause damage to the tip of the penis or the foreskin. With time, the foreskin moves back more easily, and boys should be encouraged to wash under the foreskin every time they bathe or shower. The age when this happens is variable - different for different boys (Usually 2 – 3 years). Make sure that they know to push the foreskin down over the tip of the penis after they have washed it. If it stays up, the foreskin may swell (drainage of blood away from the foreskin may be affected), and the foreskin can become tight and painful. The white substance (smegma) under the foreskin is natural and does not cause health problems - it simply needs to be washed away regularly.

Medical, ethical and legal issues • Circumcision has become a human rights issue, as many people consider it an unnecessary medical procedure done to children without their consent, removing a healthy part of their body, causing them pain and exposing them to unnecessary risks. • Female circumcision has been almost universally seen as child abuse, and is forbidden in almost all parts of the world. Why, they ask, is male circumcision not seen the same way? • In some counties, the legal right of parents to decide to have their son circumcised is being challenged. They have the right to make decisions about treatment of their child for minor illness, but do they have the right to request an operation on a healthy child?

BOOMER CORNER Re-Thinking That Hip Replacement While I was in India in December my left hip began to hurt. I am of a stoic nature, but this was really painful. It hurt so much that I actually took a painkiller and dropped into a little clinic beside our hotel for an Xray. It showed that there was very little space between the head of the femur and the socket. I sent the image to a few people who know about these things and the diagnosis was unanimous; the cartilage was almost gone. Cartilage loss = osteoarthritis = hip replacement. I was fairly indignant, being of robust lineage not much given to medical intervention. But several of my friends had had hip replacements, most of them successful, so I accepted the inevitable. Anything to maintain my mobility through the next 25+ years predicted by my DNA. I started researching. Where to do the deed, Bali or Bangkok? Should the incision be the traditional posterior one or could I find a surgeon doing the new anterior technique in which the muscles are pushed aside instead of being cut? What was the best material for the implant? What supplements should I use meanwhile? My rational mind was looking at all this data and making copious notes but big red flags were waving offstage. Did I understand that the head of my femur – the largest bone in my body -- would be sawed right off? That the hip socket would also be sawed away and a man- made implant of metal alloy, plastic or ceramic would be cemented to the bone margins? Serious stuff. Then a friend sent me a link to a video by Chirpractor Dr John Bergman that changed everything. If you’re considering a hip replacement, I highly recommend that you make a coffee or pour a beer and invest the hour it takes to watch Hip Issues, the Ignored Causes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unMisEfPIb g&feature=youtu.be Bergman states that the hip is a perfect joint, and joints do not ‘wear out’. He states that hips lose cartilage and become painful due to impaired blood and nerve supply to the joint because of misalignment of the sacroiliac joint/lumbar spine, all of which can be corrected without surgery. Chiropractor Dr Chet Collins thinks otherwise. “In my opinion, mobilizing the muscles of the hips and increasing one’s overall physical activities are the primary keys. I don’t agree with the nerve and blood supply reduction being impinged at the spine. More so the mechanical restrictions of the hip muscles causing long-term excessive stresses on the joint structures that slowly overwhelm the body’s ability to maintain and replace the

tissues.” He suggests hip mobility stretches such as those at https://drjohnrusin.com/10-exercises-to-instantlyimprove-hip-mobility Surgeons, of course, are in the business of surgery and the modern world is looking for the quick fix. But I personally feel that surgery of any kind, especially as major as joint replacement, should be the last resort. Both these highly trained joint specialists agree that hip conditions which are not the result of genetic defects or traumatic injury can often be relieved without surgery and that cartilage can regenerate. Things can go wrong. Complications include blood clots, infection, dislocation and loosening, where the implant detaches from the bone. This last issue requires revision surgery to replace the implant, which is much more complicated than the initial joint replacement. About 10% of hip replacements will require revision in 10 years, and 20% in 20 years. The balance of hip replacements seem to last about 20 years, so if you outlive your hip it will require further surgery. Of the people I know with hip replacements, two required revision within one year.

- - - - - - - - -

Find a good chiropractor to correct alignment Be more active; sitting around just irritates the hips it seems Lose weight; I wish there was an app for this Google ‘how to relieve hip pain’, there are loads of videos and demonstrations of stretches Have a regular yoga practice Have acupuncture to stimulate the deep muscle around the hip Replace NSAIDs with plant based anti-inflammatories. Turmeric is an obvious choice but curcumin, the active ingredient, is not absorbed well by the body unless it’s mixed with a little cracked black pepper and oil. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are supplements that help regenerate cartilage. Celadrin is locally available and I found it effective. Use the joint with weight bearing exercise!

After a hip replacement, that leg is usually slightly longer than the other. This causes further misalignment and soon – guess what? The other hip starts to hurt. So they replace that one too. Then there’s the issue of Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) which are the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain. Common nonprescription NSAIDs include Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Celebrex and good old aspirin. These reduce pain by controlling inflammation but, except for aspirin, all have significant side effects. High dosage, long-term use can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and stomach ulcers. (Tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory). Studies show that NSAIDs may actually cause further damage to the joint by decreasing cartilage production. An article in the Journal of Prolotherapy 2010 states, “The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication has been shown in scientific studies to accelerate the articular cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis. Use of this product poses a significant risk in accelerating osteoarthritis joint breakdown. Anyone using this product for the pain of osteoarthritis should be under a doctor’s care and the use of this product should be with the very lowest dosage and for the shortest duration of time.” Catching the situation and starting to work with the hip joints early can change the game. The doctor I saw in Bangkok took another Xray and pointed out that I still had enough cartilage to work with and we discussed what I could to do maintain and increase it. His suggestions include:

So a hip replacement doesn’t need to be a knee-jerk solution to hip ‘pain. I may eventually have to have the hip replaced, but I’ll have exhausted all the alternatives first. My routine now includes daily yoga, hip stretches, glucosamine, turmeric, walking and I have acupuncture weekly. And I’m pretty much pain-free.

GARDEN DOCTOR Growing Succulents and Cactus ‘Hi, if you could provide some information on how best to plant succulents. I’d be super grateful. We are planning on growing a succulent and cactus garden in pots, and out in the ground too in various parts of our garden. It is easy I hear to propagate new plants easily from cuttings with these plants. I am also thinking of cactus, from small tiny ones, to some that can grow tall. Do you have any basic tips on general care, I have a good idea of what it requires, but I just need to confirm that I’m on the right track. I am most interested in learning about the cuttings. Thanks in advance, Bruce.’

Most types of succulents and cactus are drought tolerant once established, and many types of succulents can also grow from a leaf cutting as opposed to a stem type cutting, previously described. To take a leaf for propagation gently twist it off the stem with a clean pull, otherwise use sharp scissors or garden tools. Drop the succulent leaf ‘cutting’ in place on the ground or in the pot where it will grow, then cover lightly with soil. The next step is to forget about it and then in a few months when you have new succulent plants germinating out of the ground you will remember it.

A succulent garden is versatile because it can fit on the windowsill, be done in pots or even out in the ground, and you may find that you rarely need to even water it – now that’s what I call a garden suitable for everyone! Landscaping with succulents is a good idea in dry or sandy soil and is also good for those who forget to water regularly, or even as a means of saving water. Fortunately, most succulent gardens will happily live off the natural rainfall so it’s the best choice for a garden in dry to arid places, or locations with little rainfall. Taking Cuttings Take a cutting from a branch or fresh growing tip, and plant it in a pot, otherwise it can be left in a water filled vase until ready to plant, or otherwise left to develop roots – just remember to change out the water every few days. If you have healthy plants taking cuttings is a good way to propagate more plants. When taking plant cuttings, it is usual to remove foliage up to the last few sets of leaves close to the growing tip, but with succulents just cut and plant direct. Succulents have a high success rate from cuttings. The same goes for cactus - just cut a piece off and plant in the ground. With cacti you will need good gloves or an old towel if it has spines or needles. Handle with care, you’ve got to be careful about those pricks in the garden! With any new cutting the main requirements are consistent moisture along with adequate drainage until new root growth develops, water every few days allowing the soil to dry out in-between. When new growth is detected, then you know that the plant has taken root and the cutting is thus a success!

Soil Types for Succulents The benefit of growing succulents outdoors on a dry soil is that the garden will survive and thrive mostly on natural rainfall, and even in a drought. Succulents are the plant of choice for those who prefer their garden to look after itself. These plants have adapted water storage tissues that allow them to survive in environments that are far too dry or extreme for most common houseplants. The plumper, fatter or fleshier the foliage type of the succulent, then the more water it stores and thus the less it needs from you. This water conserving adaptation has given rise to a wide variety of geometric leaf and plant forms within the succulent world-enough to turn a mathematician to gardening. Succulents and cactus will thrive in dry sandy soils or even gravel, which can be mixed together and used if potting. On land which is full of rocky sandy soil then a succulent garden is the perfect solution - the question being..what can we grow here?

The roots do well in shallow ground, so for shallow or rocky topsoil, succulents are an easy garden fix for something attractive, with minimal effort. If you are planting on heavier boggy soil then you may need to plant your succulents up on mounds, or in pots or to solve any drainage or water logging issues. Most problems with succulents and cacti occur in poor drainage or high humidity conditions. Try less water rather than too much, especially when it comes to cacti. Cacti will do well in a sandy soil that would otherwise be unsuitable for growing many other types of flowering plants. You can find cacti of all shapes and sizes, some types produce exotic edible fruit, such as dragon fruit, prickly pear, apple cactus etc. Others only flower once a year for a few minutes in the middle of the night, while others can put on showy displays over days/weeks/months. The only thing that bothers them is high humidity. Any plants kept indoor or in pots though will need occasional watering, every week or two, and a potting mix with good drainage. Easier types of succulents to grow in most conditions Aloe Vera, echeveria, haworthia, jade plants (crassula), agave yucca, variegated sansevieria, mother-in-laws tongue, snake plant, frangipani, euphorbia crown of thorns, various types of cacti, hedgehog cactus, apple cactus, prickly pear etc. Larger types can be used as feature plants out in the garden, smaller varieties such as echeveria, haworthia, jade and euphorbia are good in pots or even on the windowsill. Use several plants to create borders and along walls. Arrange succulents with variations of colour, texture, size and form to create contrast, repetition and focal points around the garden, along walkways, on balconies and even indoor too. Most will tolerate direct and filtered sun, with some shade - and less is always more when it comes to the water.

At Home in Bali

Design ideas and inspiration for tropical living

Blissed out at Balila — creating a home with integrity One of the first things I do on returning to Bali after an extended trip to the UK is head up to Amed; it feeds my soul to spend time in the shadow of the Gunung Agung. One of my favourite places to stay is Balila Beach Resort, a peaceful eco-chic retreat resting above a crescent beach of volcanic black sand north of Amed. There, I can spend hours gazing at our sacred mountain from the pool terrace….. and alas managed to sleep through its spectacular mid-May eruption. Many of the amazing photos you may have seen of these now-regular eruptions are likely to be taken by Birgit who, together with her husband Made, created this beautiful ocean retreat. I invited this long-term Bali resident, architect and sound healer to share her top tips for creating a home with integrity.

Build with the abundant natural materials around you If you want a natural and sustainable build, you don’t have to go far; there’s an abundance of wood, bamboo, stones — almost everything here that you need. Always take a look at what is readily available close by, and use what is to hand. There are tons of stones in our area of Karangasem, so that’s the right material for us to build with. Inside Balila’s resort rooms, rather than using stones that retain heat, I used mud plaster which absorbs humidity and heat and creates an excellent indoor climate. Even though bamboo is a popular eco-material on the island, I don’t use it because it is not grown in our area.

I am a magpie. When I see something that grabs me, I grab it even if I have no idea how I am going to use it. For example, I saw a beautiful old ornamental ironwork grill decorated with butterflies and flowers. I managed to resist the temptation on three separate occasions until on the fourth visit I knew I couldn’t leave without it. And with that decision made, I knew exactly how to use it: as a decorative feature on a Balila balcony.

When building in the tropics, natural ventilation is really important — there’s no need for air con in many places. As a guide, it’s good to see how the old traditional buildings are made. In the past people knew how to build using the best materials for the best living conditions — you can still see examples in the mountains around us. Sadly it is different with new builds. Be flexible, take your time Take things slowly, because then you have the time to change things; its during construction that you can realise it’s not how you imagined it, or it would be better to have a window moved or use different materials. By being flexible, you can make improvements, and the build will be better. Of course, your pace might have to be different if you have a 10-year land contract, or a one-year 1 year lease. And remember, it will never be perfect; there is no perfect house!

A few years ago, I was looking for old building wood at my regular second-hand building material suppliers, and spotted the most beautiful traditional carved door embellished with red and gold. I fell hopelessly in love and, thought I didn’t need it, justified the wildly impulsive purchase with the thought, “This is going to be the door for my new house”. At the time, we had no plans….no land even! But at last, after lying around for three years, it is now installed in our new house, and I am thrilled. I like to think that another person’s waste is my treasure! Other than the beds and bedding, all furniture in Balila is second-hand or made out of recycled material. I once made a table using the ends of a large industrial cable drum and discarded tyres — an instant talking point. Other tables in our restaurant are made of old planks of boat-wood.

Go with your gut feeling

Use your imagination

Feel the energy of the place, how it fits with you. Pay attention to your first feeling….and trust it! You can find a beautiful house but don’t get a good feeling from it. And you can get a positive vibe from the shabbiest place. So don’t be over-influenced by how it looks.

My way of working is very organic; I start building, and then only when it’s time to fit windows or doors or floors do I go shopping with open eyes and ears, and the intention to find what’s needed. I never go into one shop and order in advance!

You don’t need as much space as you think

A good imagination helps in problem solving too. For example, I really didn’t want to close off the end wall in our Seeds restaurant and lose the fantastic view of Gunung Agung. But it was way too windy. We could have installed one massive window, but I thought a huge pane of glass would be out of character with both the space and our ecophilosophy. My solution was to collect old window frames of varying shapes and sizes over several months, wherever I saw them. Now I love the quirky feature wall that frames our sacred mountain so beautifully.

It’s worth waiting until you find the right place and right piece. Remember I said how we’re no longer building what we thought would be our dream house? Recently I came across some gorgeous carved pieces from an old bale, and knew that I could use those 12 tiang to create the additional room we needed to supplement the two gladak. I can’t wait to build my new structure! I am curious as I don’t know how it will be… I don’t yet have the full picture in mind, so we will see. Here in Bali I have learnt to be flexible and patient.

Buy second-hand, recycle and repurpose

It’s easy to be blinded by these huge villas, and then end up with way more house than you need — I have so many friends who have over-built and wish they had built half the size. Large houses take a lot of cleaning and maintenance, and they need a lot of furniture and design details to make them homely. Before you sign that new lease or agree to those house plans, consider the cost of cleaning and maintenance. I admit I had my own dream house in mind… designed it right down to the last details; it was perfect! We contracted the land behind our beach resort and, intending to live on site to supervise construction, created temporary accommodation using a gladak that had been in storage since we moved to Amed. This tiny teakwood hut would eventually be a guest room, we reasoned. It didn’t take long for us to realise that this little space was all we needed … and that big dream house wasn’t necessary. Now we have a second gladak which we transported from Java on the back of a pick-up, and a living area and kitchen in between. Perfect contemporary space that’s the right size for us!

Wherever possible I source building materials and furniture in second hand shops. They used to build with much better materials in the old days, so by shopping around in dusty second-hand shops, you can pick up better quality for a cheaper price. For example, you can clearly see the difference in quality between an old door and a new one. And old wood is already very dry, hard and insect-free. Once I found huge tempered glass sliding doors originally from a five-star hotel that I would never have been able to afford; they are now installed in the Ocean Rooms at Balila.

Be patient

The Frugal Balinist * Green Cleaners Common household products sold in Indonesia contain volatile compounds which easily become gases and vapors that can trigger headaches, allergies, damage to eyes, asthma and other lung irritations in humans and pets. Manufacturers don’t disclose ingredients on labels. They accumulate on surfaces in the home, when thrown away or poured down the drain. Toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene wind up in Bali’s rivers and water tables. Making your own organic cleaners and natural deodorizers takes only a few minutes and is incredibly inexpensive. Vinegar (cuka), a mild acetic acid, is an allpurpose cleaner that can be used to cut through grease, remove stains, soften water and also acts as a disinfectant. Mixed with water in a spray bottle, vinegar scours pots, pans, sinks, refrigerators, upholstery, stainless steel, silver, porcelain. Dixi Cuka costs only Rp12,500/350 ml. For shower stalls, use a combination of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and liquid soap. Salt is another versatile, effective cleaner because of its abrasive and bleaching properties. Mixed with vinegar and flour, salt makes a great cleaning paste. Lemon juice contains citric acid which acts as a deodorizer and can remove stains from porcelain and aluminum. Also, biodegradable, non-petroleum based liquid soap is available at Bali Buda.

* Questions to ask your Vet At his annual wellness exam, these are the most important questions: *Is my pet’s weight normal? Owners can’t assess a pet’s appropriate weight range if they see her every day, but weight gain can put pets at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Being underweight, on the other hand, indicates a

chronic illness or a parasitic infection. *What food should I be feeding him? Give the food that’s ideal for your pet’s age, size, breed and activity level. *How much exercise does she need? Again, your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle and medical history should be taken into account. *Is my pet up to date on his vaccinations and immunizations? Inquire about rabies inoculations at your banjar. *Are her gums and teeth healthy? Don’t overlook dental care as symptoms are not always obvious. Bad breath, rotting teeth and appetite loss can point to a deadly heart infection (endocarditis) or periodontal disease. A teeth cleaning might be necessary if gingivitis and excessive tartar are present. *What oral or topical medications do you recommend for fleas and ticks? *Ask about any peculiarities like lumps, wheezing after exercise or uncontrollable itching. *What do these items on my bill mean? An honest vet will be transparent about each cost and a treatment’s relative risks and benefits.

* Beware joglos Buying an antique Javanese joglo, originally conceived as a dwelling for a poor family of rice farmers, are very popular on Bali which pushes up the price for them in Java. Made from simple, natural materials, joglo houses run from Rp150 juta to Rp350 juta; the ones with the big pillars can cost Rp400 juta to Rp990 juta. Besides the outright purchase price, you also have to consider the relocation and permit costs for its transportation to Bali, the cost of a foundation, finishing, plumbing, electrical installation, etc., all of which present numerous opportunities for scams. Teak is susceptible to termites, rain drums down on the roof unremittingly and small (sometimes furry) animals take up residence in the roof. Alam Nirvana

* Moneysavers Pool maintenance guys charge Rp700,000-Rp900,000/month (depending on where you live), which includes chemicals and twice weekly service. If you have to buy chemicals yourself, Tropical Pool on Jl. Bypass should be able to help. *Since May, the cost of overstaying a tourist visa in Indonesia increased from Rp300,000/day to Rp1 million/day. *Besides major differences between their religions and languages, there are character differences as well. *Sending postcards (kartu pos) are cheaper than sending letters (surat) within Indonesia (Rp6,000 compared to Rp9,000); sending postcards overseas are also cheaper than sending letters overseas (Rp7,000 Europe, Rp8,000 USA as compared to Rp31,000/100 gr); also, sending postcards to Indonesia from overseas are safer as they won’t get stolen. *The most expensive auto parts are original brand name parts (asli) made by the manufacturer of the vehicle you own. Better value are Semi 1 (high quality copies) and Semi 2 (lower quality copies) parts which don’t carry the manufacturer’s logo, but are reliable and function as well and are better value. Price comparison: an asli Toyota clutch assembly (matahari or kopling set) costs Rp1,750,000 while a Semi 1 copy costs Rp1,200,000. *Pembeli tunai is a buyer who pays cash.

Though charmingly homespun, Joglos will almost assuredly end up costing considerably more than a standard brick and cement house in Bali. Alternatively, if you want that weathered rustic look, just buy some antique doors and windows rather than the whole building. Kaltimber (http://www.kaltimber.com) in Ubud sells reclaimed wood.

Education Program Aimed at School Children Raises Environmental Awareness With the slogan “helping people to help themselves,” the IDEP Foundation’s TUNAS program is striving to instigate sustainable reform in Bali by developing children’s interest in environmental protection and conservation. TUNAS, which is an acronym for Teman Untuk Semesta (Friends of the Universe), started back in February this year and has two main themes: permaculture and disaster risk reduction. Dewa Wira Utama, a field officer for the TUNAS program, believes that social ignorance stands at the core of Bali’s current environmental pollution problem. “Disasters such as floods and blockage of waterways due to plastic waste are considered as something that ordinarily happens every rainy season,” he says. “We are starting to see the result of this ignorance in how it is affecting our ocean biodiversity, where animals are suffering with waste lodged in their stomachs or even dying.”

The TUNAS program has been developed to counteract this so-called ignorance by reaching out to teachers and school children. According to Dewa, 22 elementary schools, from different districts and cities on the island, are currently involved in the program. “Our main target is students between 9 and 10 years old because at that age children are able to readily absorb information and enthusiastically implement it in their surroundings.” TUNAS focuses on the issue of environmental protection by

teaching children about the basic principles of permaculture, or permanent agriculture, as well as natural disaster preparedness. A valid undertaking in a country where, according to the World Bank, around 40 percent of the population are vulnerable to disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. “The program supports children’s interest in taking care of their environment through activities such as using recycled waste as planting medium. We teach them how to design their own school gardens and hope that in the future they will also design their own home gardens,” Dewa says. “Our second focus is disaster risk reduction where we teach the children how to recognize any potential dangers around them and how to evacuate during a disaster.” The TUNAS program was inaugurated in February with a workshop for teachers, which was based on the information contained in IDEP’s Learnscape guidebook. The teachers have been encouraged to integrate the Learnscape material into their own curriculums with the aim of creating a sustainable and low-risk school environment. As the term permaculture is not yet popular on the island, the concept was explained in terms of the traditional Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which—just like permaculture—is based on the principles of caring for the earth, caring for human beings and sharing. As a follow-up to the workshop, IDEP organized PERSAMI, a weekend camping event for students whose teachers have been involved in the program. The event, which took place at the Pondok Jaka in Sangeh, was held in collaboration with Scout Care. “For our Saturday and Sunday camping events, we pick students from the fourth and fifth grades, with each group consisting of five boys and five girls from each participating school,” Dewa says. “We hope that they will spread the knowledge they gain about permaculture and disaster readiness at their schools, homes and neighborhoods.” During the event, students designed a School Alert Map that reflected their respective locations—for example, schools near the coast face the threat of a tsunami while schools in the highlands could face landslides—and learned about cultivating a school garden with nutritious food crops. The

students also went on a hike, during which they learned about different plants and picked up trash that was later used in a recycling competition. The collected trash was also weighed to give the students an idea of how much untreated waste impacts the island. Towards the end of the event, the children were involved in disaster simulations, with valuable instructions conveyed through songs.

To help educate children, IDEP is also currently in the process of building eight ‘rechargeable wells’ at schools on the island as a part of the organization’s Bali Water Protection program. “The program aims to instill an awareness of the importance of water conservation in Bali,” Dewa says. “The rechargeable wells are all in strategic locations for recharging groundwater. The wells are built as a solution to preserving ground water, as well as its quality.” IDEP will continue to support the schools involved in TUNAS until the program concludes in February next year. “We will keep encouraging and facilitating the implementation of the school gardens and alert maps that have been made by the students of each of the schools that participated in PERSAMI,” Dewa says. “We hope that the children will continue to implement the lessons they learn during TUNAS in their daily life for many years to come.” IDEP - http://www.idepfoundation.org/en/

School News A busy year wraps up for Montessori School Bali With the launch of its biannual Twilight Market, a filled-tocapacity Toddler Programme and the successful debut of its Adolescent Programme, Montessori School Bali (MSB) has had a busy and exciting academic year. The school broke ground on new playgrounds for its preschool and primary classrooms this year, as well as a BMX/MBT track, all expected to be ready by Term One, 2019-2020. The MSB school year runs from August to June, and is still accepting enrolments for some age groups for the start of next year. “This past year has seen the school expand in ways that serve all our students well and usher in an era of smart growth for the school,” says principal Jan Gaffney.

thrilling start to the programme, following an authentic Montessori trajectory as they established their own microbusiness, lil lotus coFFee. Setting up such a small business is a hallmark of Montessori adolescent programmes globally, where students learn through real-world, handson action along with academic subjects. The AP students also built the start of their permaculture garden, which will expand as more students join next academic year. The class worked with partners such as sure.co (https:// su-re.co/), a young environmental “think-do-be tank” based in Bali that is focused on sustainability and farming within the context of climate change. Future Farmers Indonesia (http://www.futurefarmersindonesia.com/) have also worked with the students on their permaculture garden.

The Adolescent Programme (AP) began this academic year and its size will double with a second cohort beginning in August. This year’s founding students have forged a

Another highlight of the past year was the launch of the Montessori Twilight Market onto Bali’s event calendar. The first market was such a success that a second one was held in May. “The Twilight Markets really brought together the school with our broader community,” says James White, the 2018-19 secretary of the Parent Teacher Association, which organises the evenings. “It was fantastic to open up the school to the public for such a big event so they could get a glimpse of what our school is like.” The next market will be on Friday, November 29 and, just like the others, feature dozens of local vendors, children’s activities, delicious food and snacks, a bar and lots more. Also during the year, the school hosted a refresher course for more than 50 Montessori professionals from around the region and hosted many other observers interested in seeing how an authentic Montessori school works. “We are lucky to be able to implement genuine Montessori principles right across all age groups,” says principal Jan. “We are excited to show educators just how this works in practice, and hope to set a benchmark for Montessori education in the region.”

The Toddler Programme, a four-morning programme following pure Montessori principles in a classroom that is purpose-built for 18-month- to three-year-olds, now has a waiting list due to its popularity. The school is tentatively planning a one-afternoon per week accompanied programme to help deal with demand, Jan says. The preschool intake for children turning three before October 2019 is also now full. Montessori School Bali began 21 years ago with a single preschool class, and has now grown to include dedicated programmes for babies right through to adolescents. From preschool, Montessori classes have multi-age groups, aged around three to six, six to nine, nine to 12 and 12 to 15 years.

education than a mainstream one in today’s fast-changing world. “They learn resourcefulness, critical thinking and problem solving by dealing with real issues and applying what they learn inside the classroom.”

Marian Carroll has two boys at the school, one in upper primary and one in the AP. “It’s so rewarding when your pre-teen comes home and you ask how was school, and he says, ‘Awesome, as usual.’ They are so engaged using real world experiences outside the classroom to learn, they don’t realise they are even learning!” she says. A Montessori education, she believes, is a more relevant

Ubud News ELEVEN GREAT YEARS

Thanks a squillion to Laughing Buddha, on Ubud’s Jalan Monkey Forest, for eleven great years of live music. That’s eleven years of brilliant slide guitar from Bali owner Pak Agung Wiryawan with his various blues bands, eleven years of great overseas music acts who “dropped in” for a gig while on holiday, or were lured over from Singapore or Jakarta where they were earning the big bucks, and eleven years of opportunity to listen to Bali’s own up and coming jazz, blues, R & B, soul, pop acoustic, and salsa bands. Great food, decent cocktails and a top class band for listening to – or dancing with, for mine – every night of the week, including a special Saturday night attraction that’s different every month. My personal weekly favourites; Buena Tierra’s Latin and salsa on Wednesday nights, and the totally unbeatable blues of The Cooltones on Sundays. Full program at laughingbuddhabali.com Here’s hoping to another eleven great years. BRIDGING GAP BETWEEN “SELF” & SCIENCE Dr Ian Weinberg, world-renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, visits Ubud next month to bridge the gap between the “study of consciousness” and science, in an innovative retreat that begins with the functions of the brain and its connections to the body, then moves on to “mind states”, their origins and their influences. These two sets of knowledge help participants understand various tools for intervention, and so optimise their mind states and enhance body vitality. Finally, and unique to this course, Dr Weinberg introduces neurophysics –the study of the influences of consciousness on the environment outside the body.

Local News Garuda and Lion Air suffering millions in losses due to grounding of Boeing 737-Max 8 Tempo.co says the Lion Air Group has lost some US$20 million during the worldwide grounding of its 10 Boeing 737 MAX 8 following the crash of two B737-MAX 8 in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Calculating the cost of the grounding of 10 aircraft, the Lion Air Group Operations Director, Daniel Putut, said: “It comes up to around (US$20 million).” Garuda Indonesia, with only one Boeing 737 Max 8 grounded estimates that have lost US$2 million.

Indonesia’s Transportation Ministry will have to authorize the operation of the disgraced aircraft type in the country’s air space before Lion Air and Garuda can once again fly the B737-Max 8. That approval, realistically, will only come after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) declares the aircraft airworthy again, a date that could still be months away. “To upgrade the fleet, we must obtain a seal of approval from FAA. If the FAA has agreed to it, and our regulator must follow its decision. We are waiting for the process to play out. As the operator, we wait for the regulator’s decision,” Puput stated. [Bali Update June 11, 2019] Bali governor set to issue new regulation delineating separate areas of operation for online and metered taxis Bali Governor I Wayan Koster said he will soon issue a regulation to organize the operations of conventional and online taxi companies on the island as the provincial government seeks to resolve the ongoing disputes between the two sides. But observers warn the regulation could lead to more conflict and worse options for customers. “The Pergub (Governor Regulation) will organize areas of operation, determining which areas online taxis are permitted to operate in and we will work closely with taxi community organizations as well,” Wayan said, as quoted in a report from Bali Post. This move seeks to avoid clashes between conventional and online taxis, and to allow the former to preserve their operational bases, which were established long before ride-hailing services arrived on the island.

Though the Indonesian Transportation Ministry already has regulations on online taxi services in place, Wayan said Bali’s tourism industry sets the province apart from the rest of the country. He expressed a commitment to support conventional taxi companies, according to Bali Post. Koster said his new regulation would also require online taxi drivers to provide Bali identity cards and drive cars with Bali license plates. While it makes sense for the local government to try and appease conventional taxi drivers, who feel like they’re unfairly losing business due to the arrival of online taxis, it remains to be seen how this move could benefit consumers, particularly considering that conventional taxis in Bali tend to charge higher prices. “If this regulation were to be implemented, conventional transportation will monopolize further and grow more arrogant with their prices, because they won’t have any more competition,” Aryanto, director of Jayamahe Transport, a Bali-based transportation service, told Tribun-Bali. Aryanto added that the governor’s new regulation has the potential to conflict with other existing regulations in the country, including a 1999 law targeting monopolies and unfair business practices. Bali has seen a number of clashes between regular metered taxi drivers and those working for ride-hailing apps over the years. In March, a clash was recorded on video, capturing an altercation between a Grab employee and a gang of airport taxi drivers. [Coconuts Bali May 28, 2019]

26 President says airlines must lower sky-high domestic air fare or he will invite foreign airlines to fly local air routes Apparently fed up with the widespread destruction being heaped upon Indonesia’s tourism industry by recent sharp increases in air fares and the failure of Indonesia’s airline to keep their promise to reduce their ticket prices, President Joko Widodo has taken the unprecedented move of threatening to retaliate by allowing foreign airlines to start operating domestic routes. In response, the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi was quoted by Tempo as saying on Friday, May 31, 2019: “Yes, the President’s idea is very good. We will seriously study the proposal. God willing, it can be implemented.” Budi Karya views the current impasse with the national airline industry as an opportunity for Indonesia to open its air space to foreign carriers. The Minister of Transportation revealed that, under the current rules, in order for foreign

airlines to operate in Indonesia the airline would need to register as an Indonesian company and seek 51% Indonesian ownership before operations commenced. Budi Karya accepts the President’s reasoning that one way to lower prices is to increase the level of competition. [Bali Update June 11, 2019]

Tragic death of older Australian in Bali underlines the importance of travel safety Riding a scooter or motorbike might seem like a fun, harmless way to explore Bali, but it can end disastrously. Last week, we learned the tragic news of an Australian man’s death. The 59-year-old, identified as Peter Robinson, was killed after he lost control of his scooter and slid under a passing truck just before 5pm on Friday, news.com.au reported. The man suffered fatal head injuries and died at the scene. A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) spokesperson told Travel at 60 they are providing assistance to the family of an Australian man who passed away in Indonesia. The sad news comes less than three months after another Australian man, Frankie Avalon Fonohema, 27, was killed riding a scooter on the popular Indonesian Island. According to the government’s Smartraveller website, motorcycle accidents involving Australians are very common in Southeast Asia, particularly in areas such as Bali, Thailand and Vietnam. Smartraveller notes some insurance policies will not cover

you if you have an accident using a vehicle you are not licensed to drive. The website also advices that it’s important Australian travellers wear helmets, and other protective clothing when riding motorcycles, scooters and mopeds overseas in order to minimise the risk of serious injury. Meanwhile, a DFAT spokesperson previously told Adelaide Now, “the most common reasons for illness or hospitalisation amongst young people who travel to Bali are injuries due to motorbike accidents”.

Klungkung will charge fee to foreigners visiting Nusa Penida Klungkung District Government plans to charge a fee soon to foreign tourists who go to Nusa Penida. Klungkung Regent, I Nyoman Suwirta, and Tourism Board officers will meet fast boat and other transport owners to socialize the decision today, Monday. “We will socialize it on Monday as the final step in the process,” said the Head of Klungkung Tourism Board, I Nengah Sukasta, to tribunnews.com on Sunday. “We hope we could apply the regulation to charge the fee to foreign tourists who go to Nusa Penida this month.” The fee will be charged as a recreational area retribution, which is regulated by Klungkung District Regional Regulation number 5 of 2019 about Recreational and Sport areas. Every adult foreign tourist will be charged Rp 25,000, while children will be charged Rp 15,000. The fee will be charged on arrival at all Nusa Penida ports. There hasn’t been any fee charged before to Nusa Penida and the Klungkung District Government targeted Rp 7

billion for the regional coffers from the expected 543,979 tourist visits in 2019. The money gathered will be used to build infrastructure on the island. [Seminyak Times June 3, 2019]

Five foreigners accused of selling drugs in Bali Indonesian authorities have arrested an American, two Spaniards and two Russians for selling cocaine and marijuana in Bali, police said on Friday. The three men and two women were paraded at a police news conference in the Bali provincial capital, Denpasar, days after being arrested. They were arrested between May 20 and 24 in the tourist hotspot of Kuta, said Denpasar police chief Ruddi Setiawan. He said the arrests began when police caught a 33-year-old Russian man, identified only as Nikita, arranging cocaine sales by phone to foreign tourists. Police seized 20.18 grams of cocaine and 44.14 grams of marijuana from the group. “We are still investigating how they got that cocaine and marijuana,” Setiawan said. “We believe they are part of an international syndicate and got the drugs from abroad.” Police identified the 31-year-old American suspect as Ian. A Russian woman, 31, was identified as Maria and a Spanish woman, 33, as Laura. A 37-year-old Spanish man identified as Juan had operated a restaurant in Kerobokan near Denpasar for a long period of time, police said.

Indonesia has strict drug laws and dozens of convicted smugglers are on death row. Its last executions were in July 2016, when an Indonesian and three foreigners were shot by a firing squad. An Indonesian court last week sentenced a Frenchman to death for smuggling ecstasy to Lombok, next to Bali, even though prosecutors had sought a 20-year sentence. [Dawn June 1, 2019]
