Question: I am having a serious problem with my mother and my boyfriend. The three of us work together, and I see them everyday, but my parents obviously don’t think that is enough. My mom is constantly calling us to do things -- like go out for dinner or visit. She also invites me on family vacations with her and my dad. I am 22 years old, and yes we are a close family, but I need some space and want to be independent. I don’t feel as if I need them approving of things I do anymore, like how I spend my time and money. I can’t stand it when my mother phones me every night (sometimes on my boyfriend’s cell phone) and doesn’t understand why he never wants to go out for dinner. On the other hand, my boyfriend can’t understand why my parents are so nuisancing. All this is causing a serious rift between him and my parents, and I am caught in the middle. I’m not saying I don’t want any contact with my parents. I just want my space and want them to understand that I am a grown woman now, and that what I do with my time and my money is up to me. My boyfriend has said that if this is how my family works – phone calls every night, going out to dinner every week, and my mom getting offended when I don’t want to join the family – then he can’t be in a relationship with me. I love him to death, and I know he loves me. I just don’t want my mom smothering me and keeping me on a leash, and I don’t know how to tell her all this without offending her. I do NOT want to lose my boyfriend. What are the limits between parents and children who are grown up? Am I in the wrong here? How do I keep everybody happy including myself? Dr. ZZ: It is a blessing to have such a close family and parents who care about you. That said, it can sometimes feel like an obligation rather than a choice to spend enough time with them to make sure they are happy. For all intents and purposes, you have two separate problems to deal with. The first is finding a way to get your parents to treat you more like an adult. This requires work, patience and communication. Let your parents know in gradual bits over time. You need to keep claiming space for yourself wherever possible and keep becoming more and more independent. Do things for yourself, and when your parents offer to help, let them know that you appreciate their assistance, but that it is time you begin doing things for yourself – that they have done a wonderful job raising you, that you appreciate their concern and their advice, and that now you need to choose your own path.

There is nothing that says you can’t look to them for advice, nor have dinner with them once a week if you choose, but it has to start being on your terms, on adult terms. If you want more time and space to yourself, then you need to let them know. When your mom calls, you need to start telling her that you and your boyfriend are busy, and that you will talk to her tomorrow at work. Period. (“’Gotta run, Mom! Thanks for calling!”) No beating around the bush. The second problem is with your boyfriend. Although you may think he is a great guy, his handling of this situation so far has not been impressive. You need to let him know that your family, while a bit overwhelming at times, is not negotiable. Your parents are dear to you and are a major part of your life. If he also wants to be, he will have to accept that. Otherwise, he will have to move on. You will learn a lot about him by his response and decision. If he decides to end the relationship, I assure you it is for the best. Question: I have a big problem. For the first time in my life, I have a boyfriend who treats me like the world. But every time we start talking about marriage, I get excited at first; then I hear a bunch of negativity from my family members, and I get scared and don’t want to talk about it anymore. I have been married twice, and both marriages were not good. My boyfriend is not the brightest guy in the world. He is “slow,” but he makes good money and could support me handsomely. What do I do to get over this?

C/Ns/G-13 July 11

Dr. ZZ: If you expect me to give you relationship advice based financial gain, you are asking the wrong person. The studies I have access to attribute happiness in a relationship to a blend of factors like love, chemistry, and levels of respect and enjoyment between the partners. None of this can be feigned for very long regardless of how much money is involved. Based on your rather scant sharing of details, perhaps marriage is not right for you at this time. You might do well to listen to your family’s opinion. Then again, you and your boyfriend may want to move in together if you haven’t already and to see how it goes. Nothing says you have to rush into marriage or even get married in order to enjoy each other’s company. The important thing is to follow your heart, not your pocketbook. Only one of these two potential compasses has a history of keeping people warm and healthy inside where it matters.

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.

Four Healers in Four Days Part 2 By Meeka Anne Time was running out. My twenty year contract on my villa was expiring, my mother was in critical health in the States, and I needed my teenage daughter to get off the island for awhile. The intensity of the emotions that engulfed me made every sound, every smell, and every taste more vivid in a matter similar to a hallucinatory experience. As the departure date approached, I wondered how I could possibly walk away from my home gracefully.

with our eggs and markers and he industriously began to write on them in classical Arabic language. He instructed us to disrobe and wear only a sarong. I sat on the floor in front of him and lowered my sarong. He covered my back in Arabic text as he mentioned the angels of Gabriel, Michael and Raphael. Upon

I hoped that by experiencing the wisdom and healing hands of a diverse mix of local healers, I could ward off some of the despair that I felt crashing down on me. In addition to that, I had been diagnosed with diabetes a year ago and wished for a last minute miracle before I left this island of magical mystics. I discussed this desire with a close friend, and she helped me put together a plan to visit four healers in four days. One of the wisest and most respected healers on the island is Tjokorda Rai. His compound is near Ubud and he is revered for his knowledge of medicinal plants and their healing qualities. When we arrived, the compound was empty and I felt the tension release as I realized it would be a private session. I was also calmed by the gentle energy emanating from this man whose face was a vessel of wisdom. He asked me to sit, with my legs stretched out. Then, he applied pressure to several places on my shoulders, neck and ears. At times it was painful.

completion of this extensive text, he placed a hand on my forehead and one on the back of my neck, began chanting and then blew in each ear. He instructed me to place my hand on my heart and ask for what I need. Instantly, he said, I have a problem with my heart. This eerily connected with the words from Tjokorda Rai the day before and I started to squirm at the thought that I could be emotionally damaged. At the end of the session Rokib said that we were to cook the eggs and eat them complete with the shells the next day. Later that night, my friend and I discussed the similarities of the diagnosis of Rokib and Tjokorda Rai and she felt that I could benefit from a session with her. Michele Cempaka is a practicing Reiki therapist. She discovered a system of healing developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson called Emotion Codes. After dreaming that his wife’s heart was trapped beneath floorboards, he learned of his wife’s past traumas. He coined her condition a “Heart Wall” and developed a method of dislodging trapped emotions which settle into the spine using magnets. Michele had started to integrate this practice with her energy work.

He proceeded to my toes and pulled and pinched until he found the area that made me scream in pain. I had informed him of my diabetes, so surprisingly the toe that correlated to my pancreas was not the painful area. The pain came from an area that related to emotional pain. He said I had a scarred heart. Rai explained that a blockage in my heart was causing my diabetes, and not a dysfunctional pancreas as modern medicine would have me believe. He outlined a ritual that I should follow for 42 days which involved visualizing smiling organs from the tip of my nose, to solar plexus, and finally landing on my heart and asked me to consistently focus on releasing stress. There was no herbal remedy prescribed, as he was certain my condition was emotionally driven. I left Tjokorda Rai feeling more insightful. My history certainly lent validity to the “scarred heart” theory. I wondered if the other three healers would confirm this diagnosis.

Finally, we lit candles and incense, and closed with a silent meditation. Then we began to dance. Some of those dancing fell into trance, while others just let go and followed the energy in the room. For me, it was like a charged up tai chi session. I just closed my eyes and felt my arms moving through the thick energy in the room. Ibu Indah wandered around the room and blew her cool fragrant breath in the face of all the dancers. This went on for nearly an hour, and then it was time for the melakat. The melakat is basically a typical Balinese prayer ritual but with the addition of the young coconut for purified cleansing. The experience and energy in the compound of Ibu Indah was unique and powerful. Just to look at her evokes a feeling of the divine. She is as her name denotes, Mother Beauty…..

She started the session with a sage smudge and the aroma of the smoke put me in a relaxed state. Through a series of questions designed to zero in on childhood traumas she uncovered key trapped emotions. She too, like the previous two healers felt a tremendous heart block in me. The idea is to remove blocks by stroking a magnet down the length of the spine while talking to the emotions and encouraging them to dissipate. After three consecutive days of healing work, I am starting to feel exhausted. The fourth and final day was reserved for our most anticipated meeting. The last healer is Ibu Indah. She is a Hindu channeler who also integrates Buddhism into her practice. The excitement of the meeting with Ibu Indah created a significant feeling of energy coursing in our veins. The air was definitely charged. We had recently seen her in a documentary and were drawn to her instantly. When I contacted her, she did not disclose her exact location, only offered clues with the notion that if we were meant to find her, our intuition would guide us. As it were, we meandered through a small village, stopping precisely at a little shop directly in front of the turn to Ibu Indahs retreat. The compound was beautiful and serene and the occupants were warm and welcoming. We have pretty good Indonesian skills, but not quite good enough for full understanding. We were lucky that an Indonesian student of hers was there to fill in the blanks.

The second healer was an Islamic man from East Java named Rokib. He gave instructions to provide him with 4 kampung eggs and a permanent marker. Even though we raised our eyebrows at this request, we understood one must remain open-minded when interacting with healers. Rokib arrived at my villa early the next evening. He was a small wiry man, who smoked incessantly, but talked very little. We presented him

last we settled cross legged on the floor with Ibu Indah in front of us. After a while, her face began to change and she took on the spirit of Ratu Laut Selatan; a legendary mermaid of ancient Javanese culture. Whilst channeling Ratu, Ibu Indah beckoned us to come closer and she conveyed a special message to each of us from Ratu. Legends have it that Ibu Ratu Laut often had a dog as her companion and indeed one of the followers in the compound began to channel a dog just as Ibu Indah began to channel Ratu.

After awhile, she brought us to a temple filled with beautiful Quan Yin and Ratu paintings, as well as an assortment of Buddhist and Hindu statues. The energy was powerful and we sat for a short meditation. She explained we would benefit from a ritual cleansing called melukat. They would prepare the offerings that we needed which included a young coconut. I decided to bring my daughter. This would be a fitting rite of passage for her departure from Bali as well as mine. The next day we donned our sarongs and sashes and headed once again for the retreat. They were waiting for us. The night was beautiful and we sipped some tea while anticipating our cue to move into the temple. At

Feeling exhilarated and re-charged we finally said our goodbyes. By this point, I didn’t know how I felt. With only two days left in Bali, I was physically and emotionally overwhelmed by the events of the last 5 days. But yet, it left me with a sense of fulfillment, of ritually being able to say goodbye to this island that had defined my life over the last 20 years. I felt that I had simultaneously severed, yet soldered my soul to the island, which somehow would allow me to leave with a sense of grace. So, do you want to know if after all that my diabetes was cured? It was not. And even more sadly, my immediate response to landing stateside was distress and the serenity I left Bali with was quickly replaced with despair. But this was only temporary. I’m discovering contentment with life is sometimes about being able to adjust to the changes it throws at you. And now, I look back to Bali with the distance that we sometimes need to see things clearly. I feel certain I will return to my beloved island, but until then the ritual of 4 healers in 4 days was perhaps what I had needed to open my heart to the next stage of my journey.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

Bali: The Food of My Island Home by Janet de Neefe The food philosophy of the author of Bali: The Food of My Island Home can be summarized in the book’s very first paragraph where she pays high praise to nasi campur, the Indonesian national rice dish with condiments. In i t s o w n w a y, depending on how expertly it is prepared, this seemingly very simple dish is actually a very sophisticated cuisine. In visiting any Indonesian restaurant, I’ve learned that ordering the house nasi campur is the easiest and fastest way to take the true measure of an eating establishment, to find out what the restaurant is truly capable of. If it can do a good nasi campur, most everything else on the menu will also be of high quality. De Neefe has lived in Bali for 26 years learning the cooking styles of Bali and in her new book she takes you on a tour of the island’s rich food culture. De Neefe is the founder of two restaurants in Ubud, Casa Luna and Indus, as well as the Casa Luna Cooking School which is attended each year by hundreds of students from all over the world. With chapters exploring sambals, rice dishes, curries and coconut, street food, ceremonial food, modern offerings and sweets, this handsomely produced book contains recipes not just from Balinese culinary arts but from the country’s other authentic regional cuisines. Whether it be the fiery sambals of Manado, the galangal-infused dishes of Java, the salted eggs of Lombok, this food writer can be found hovering, poking, tasting, observing, experimenting, asking questions and taking notes. Whatever the dish - in a sidewalk lesehen of Yogya, a bustling Jakarta cafe, or recreating a recipe in her small Melbourne kitchen - Indonesian food has an underlying vitality and harmony garnered from fresh ingredients and the wisdom of village cooks and heads of households who have honed their recipes and passed them down through the generations. De Neefe opens with her personal history of her first visit to Bali, how she met her Balinese husband and settled down in Ubud in 1980s when it was still a “sleepy village with a special breed of homegrown charm,” the opening of their first restaurant on Monkey Forest Road. Living in her sister-in-law’s house for two years, De Neefe’s first teachers were many other humble village cooks, both men and women, who provided her with knowledge and skills far beyond anything she could’ve learned in an institution setting. The chapter Modern Offerings is dedicated to recipes, such as Pork Spare Ribs with Tomato Sambal and Mediterranean Paella, that were created from her Western interpretation of Balinese food as exemplified in the eclectic style of cooking for which her restaurant Casa Luna is well known. De Neefe avoids the term “fushion cuisine” as it can often mean dishes overloaded with conflicting flavors. “The key is to marry flavors, not murder them,” she advises.

My Island Home is not just a cookbook, but also a picture book filled with rich and unposed images that make it collectible for that reason alone. Because the photos take up more space than the recipes, it is actually more a photo book with recipes than it is a cookbook with photos. That doesn’t matter because the book is enjoyable on both counts; it can sensibly shelved in both the cookbook and art section of a bookstore. However, the oversized book is too cumbersome, too beautiful and too expensive to be used on a working kitchen counter. The photos portray iconic Bali scenes: rice fields, forests and seascapes; lichened-covered statuary, riotously carved doors and windows; crowded markets, street scenes, food stalls, bakso vendors and sate carts; colorful arrays of fresh fruits and vegetables, flower stands, woven palm offerings; animated diners, men preparing festival dishes in big aluminum bowls, tofu-makers; costumed dancers and worshippers. The book designer chose the book’s large format and the thick paper with dull matt finish to bring out the best in the images. The colors are deeper and richer than if they were printed on glossy paper which make images bounce off the page.

The food styling is not slick nor overly staged; everyday utensils, rough table settings and rural scenes provide authentic props and backdrops: a calculator sits on top of a pile of rambutan, a hurried diner talks on his cellphone, thongs are strewn over the steps of a stair, a cheap aluminum spoon rests on a half-eaten plate of fried noodles, an old man smokes in an alleyway. This is Bali at street level, not the rarefied and candle-lit environs of chic restaurants and celebrity chefs working in super-equipped stainless steel 5-Star kitchens. Indeed, this book’s best quality is De Neefe’s attitude and sensibility towards keeping it simple. Her own words say it best, “There’s nothing fancy or ambitious about Balinese cooking. All you really need is a mortar and pestle, a knife, a wok, a stirring spoon and a flame.” Calling herself a “village chef,” this food writer is faithful to the humble fare available in the villages. The longest chapter - a generous 44 pages - is devoted the street foods and snacks of Bali’s kampungs. The last chapter highlights native desserts of palm sugar, rice, coconuts and sago.

De Neefe’s last book, Fragrant Rice (2006), was more of a memoir/travel book interspersed with Balinese recipes and personal insights into Balinese culture and traditions when she had one foot in Bali and the other in Austrailia. The Food of My Island Home is a hugely augmented update in which the author has now fully immersed herself in the Balinese way of life and its mouth watering cuisine.

John Irving:

Winemaker

John Irving was born in 1951 in Sunderland, an i n d u s t r i a l wasteland in the north of England. His parents were from mining stock so the family had lots of coal but not m u c h m o n e y. John finished grammar school but university was not a realistic e c o n o m i c proposition so he got a job as a clerk trainee adding up butcher’s balance sheets. John joined the Durham Constabulary as a Police Cadet for two years, then got a job with the food giant Procter and Gamble, launching a career in sales and marketing. His first big break was joining Guinness in the UK as regional manager, later in the 1990s serving the company overseas as the Guinness GM in Indonesia. In 2007, he became a permanent resident in Perth Australia where he now lives with his Indonesian wife and daughter. Today John is a partner and business manager in Cape Discovery Wines which imports grapes from Australia to create a variety of quality wines sold in Bali. What are your hobbies/interests? Travel, reading, boating/fishing, bad golf, nice dinners and wine with good company. How did Cape Discovery get its start? We formed our company Cape Discovery 18 months ago with the idea of making good wine in Bali and selling it at a reasonable price. We began by sourcing top quality grapes from the great wine regions like Australia’s Margaret River and France’s Loire Valley. The process of shipping the grapes to Bali involved taking the grapes down to stabilizing temperatures, carefully calculated to ensure that without any additives we can get the grapes to Singaraja in the same condition as when they were picked. In setting up your winery, what were your main obstacles? Importing some of the materials. Much of the equipment was a first for the customs guys so they had no reference points. As just one example, we imported a very high grade of yeast to ferment the wine. As you can imagine, importing large bags of white powder is going to raise suspicions! Is your winemaking method different from other wine producers in Bali who also import their grapes? There are many factors that can affect the methods that each winemaker uses. It is hard to comment on the exact processes our local competition employs, but we know that

the quality of our grapes is very high which is crucial for any good wine. We also have a unique technique to bring in the crushed grapes which doesn’t require the addition of any preservatives or juice concentrate which can damage wine quality. We also have an excellent and experienced winemaker who benefits from a fully equipped modern winery.

How many vintages has Cape Discovery so far issued? We are brand new to market with the release of our 2011 Sauvignon Blanc in November 2011. We picked this particular wine because it should be drunk young and we realized most imports are 2010 or older. So this variety addresses that problem. We are very excited about some of our reds which will be released this summer and also our sparkling chardonnay promises to be a bit special. Why is wine so expensive on Bali? Before you even count the cost of goods and transport, the import duty and excise tax amount to a total of Rp71,250 per bottle. The trade have based their margins on a slow turnover category, but this is changing. I think prices are getting more competitive and the trade is now able to see volume potential.

Who is your market? For the time being, mostly tourists and expats in Bali. However, we see Indonesians and Balinese beginning to appreciate wine. As the Indonesian middle class continues to grow, wine is seen as very stylish and good for health. I think wine will be a bigger and bigger part of the Indonesian food and beverage culture. Is it difficult marketing a Bali-made wine? From meeting the trade and speaking to many consumers, we find the reputation of wine made in Bali is not so good at the moment. Despite our premium quality and the fact that our wine is significantly less expensive than imports of a similar quality, this presents a challenge. But I think the message is starting to get through. Tasting is believing, so all we have to do is get people to try the wine and we know they’ll keep coming back to the brand.

What are the most common misconceptions about producing wine in the tropics? Many people believe that local wines are some kind of ‘Frankenwine’ with the addition of many chemicals to manage the heat and humidity. I doubt that anyone on the island does this. It just wouldn’t make sense. In fact it is the imported wines that contain large levels of sulphites added as a preservative because the producer knows the wine will travel a lot. Another misconception is that it’s not possible to make good wine here. Making high quality wine in Bali was always possible. It is just a case of a large investment in the right materials and expertise. Where can people learn more about Cape Discovey Wines? Check out our website www.capediscoverywines.com.

Being a mother on Bali, and having a girl under a year been born on Bali - my second round of motherhood, with the first round being a boy now 13, it is vastly noticeable to me how Bali has exploded with children oriented choices within the past fifteen years. It has in three words become a ‘kid friendly place’ - and thank goodness for that!

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

Bumi Manusia / This Earth of Mankind We tell ourselves stories in order to live. J. Didion By Uma Anyar. This Earth of Mankind is the first book of the ‘Buru Quartet’ by the late Pramoedya Ananta Toer, the renowned Indonesian writer who died just six years ago in Jakarta on April 30, 2006 at the age of 81. His heirs have generously permitted the title of his book to be the guiding theme for 2012 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. Pramoedya’s life was as remarkable and dramatic as any of his twenty- one books. At the start of This Earth of Mankind, Minke the narrator, says: “That eternally harassing, tantalizing future. Mystery! We will all eventually arrive there – willing or unwilling, with all our soul and body. And too often it proves to be a great despot. And so, in the end, I arrived too. Whether the future is a kind or a cruel god is, of course, its own affair. Humanity too often claps with just one hand.” It is a provocative and Zen-like mind nugget that many readers still ponder. After his death a friend said, Pramoedya was always in search of a time that never came. Prisons have played a major role in Pramoedya’s life and work. He had spent a total of fifteen years incarcerated for politically subversive ideas and writings. First, by the colonializing Dutch from 1947 to 1949, for his participation in the anti-colonial revolt. And again in 1965 by the right wing coup under Suharto’s “New Order” that took power and slaughtered over a million so called communists and suspected sympathizers. Pramoedya was one of these victims. He was not a card carrying communist or a member of the PKI. His position as the head of People’s Cultural Organization, a literary wing of the Indonesian Communist Party, caused him to be considered a communist and enemy of the “New Order” regime. During his arrest a guard hit him in the head with a rifle butt. The blow left him partially deaf for the rest of his life. ‘’Is it possible to take from a man his right to speak to himself?’’ he said recounting this incident. During his long imprisonment, 1965-1979, without trial by the military regime on the snake infested tropical gulag island of Buru in the Moluccas, he was severely beaten and tortured. Even after he was released from Buru Island he was kept under house arrest in Jakarta until 1992.

died of exhaustion disease and despair. He was stripped of everything. His papers and research destroyed. He was not even allowed to have a pencil, yet something remarkable occurred on that penal colony. The Buru Quartet arose from the most fundamental of human needs. Storytelling. Since he could not put words on paper Pramoedya spoke them. He narrated the story of This Earth of Mankind and Child of All Nations, Footsteps, and House of Glass to his fellow inmates. Imagine one inmate, and another one, and so on, charged with remembering a portion of the tale that kept extending night after night for three thousand and one nights (eight years), like some oral spider’s web of words until it could be written down. He was an Indonesian Scheherahazade whose stories kept hope in the hearts of his fellow prisoners. Some of his friends even took his shift at hard labor in order to help him to continue to write in secret. Eventually the manuscript was smuggled out. This is one of the greatest testaments to the power of story that I have come across in a long while.

Pramoedya wrote The Fugitive while imprisoned (1947-49) by the Dutch authorities and kept his soul alive by reading John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. Some reviewers have considered his work too polemical. But others have seen the same strategy that Steinbeck and Tolstoy employed: strong multifaceted characters that are believable, lifelike, and that we come to deeply care for. In This Earth of Mankind, Toer exposes the evils of a society based on and obsessed with castes of race and money, and in doing so has produced one of the essential political novels of the 20th Century. These books were best sellers for 10 weeks in 1980. In 1981 the books were banned by the Suharto regime. They may have been set in the Dutch colonial period and their narrator a young Javanese man, but the repressions and political corruption were the same that most citizens were living under during Suharto’s rule. The publishers were forced to close down and one publisher went to prison. One may naively ask, why all of this mayhem and suppression over a quartet of fiction novels?

And the answer may be: ‘Just as politics cannot be separated from life, life cannot be separated from politics. People who consider themselves to be non-political are no different; they’ve already been assimilated by the dominant political culture–they just don’t feel it any more.’ In 2005 his books were allowed to be printed in Bahasa Indonesia. Max Lane has done an exceptional job of translating the Buru Quartet into English. All of us have friends who say they don’t read fiction. They have no time for some writer’s fanciful imaginings. I would recommend Pramodeya’s novels to such a reader because if fiction can be banned and if so much human spirit and willful resilience can be put into a tetralogy of novels then perhaps we all should take ‘make believe’ more seriously.

UBUD MONSTERS - MAKING BALI SAFE I love the w e e k s before the Hindu holy day of Nyepi, watching the creation of hundreds of hideous bamboo and paper mache monsters in each little village. After the finished “ogoh ogoh” attract and capture all the evil spirits, the monstrous effigies are lifted on the shoulders of hundreds of strong men, paraded through the streets, castrated and finally destroyed at the Monkey Forest temple on Nyepi eve. The Hindus believe that because everyone stays quiet and reflective at home for Nyepi, March 23, the new lot of malevolent spirits, flying over the island, will decide Bali is uninhabited and move on to more tempting places. Perhaps the process will also manage to get of a couple of nasty human characters who haunt the Monkey Forest after dark; one young woman was mugged earlier this month and another almost raped late last year. FESTIVAL LAUNCH WITH SOUL Stop Press: Jazz Café Ubud will host Bali S p i r i t F e s t i v a l ’s l a u n c h party. Music by toetapping local band Soul Doctors – a mix of talented ex-pats and great local musos playing folk-country and traditional Irish tunes – with a special appearance by Nahko from Bali Spirit. Monday, March 26 at Jazz Café on Jl Sukma. Music from 8-11; come early for free welcome drink and canapés from 7-8pm. DIJON’S BOOK SWAP What an excellent idea! Dijon Cafe’s Ubud monthly book swap launches next month. Bring books (no photocopies) to Dijon’s any time between noon and 3pm on Saturday, April 14, Jl Sanginggan. It’s a simple arrangement, already very popular at Dijon’s southern store; for every book you bring, you receive a voucher for one book to take home again. Can’t wait!

Melting Wok’s dishes are inspired creations, but when you ask for “hot”, you’d better mean it; the food is at its authentic chili level, not reduced for the western palate. And the crème caramel with coconut crème sauce is enormous! If you want to eat between 6 and 8pm, phone to reserve a table. Or wander by a little later.13 Jl Gootama, 082 153 666 087.

FRESH EARS Can I hear everything a little better now? I’d never had earwax before, but Fresh! Spa’s treatment was recommended to help get rid of the lingering symptoms of a cold. Fresh! is an organic beauty salon in Jl Dewi Sita, with a range of treatments, including caramel waxing and organic facials (but not the earwax) that they say are “so natural and fresh you can eat them”. The earwax was so relaxing that I had two little 15-minute naps. Yes, I’m sure the sounds of the birds, frogs and crickets outside my house are clearer tonight. Jl Dewi Sita Ubud 081 9999 47221.

A HOUSE IN BALI

Westerners started building houses in Bali about 80 years ago and since then have been melding elements from east and west in their tropical homes. But the way the Balinese traditionally use rooms can be very different to ours. It’s interesting to observe what westerners expect a bathroom, kitchen, dining room and bedroom to be, what Balinese are comfortable with and what the Balinese think westerners want -- three very different visions of what makes a safe and comfortable home.

family and any valuables can be securely locked up at night. Often it’s the only private place in a busy family compound which may be home to up to 40 people, often including a tyrannical mother-in-law. Children share their parent’s sleeping quarters until the age of about seven. If there’s enough room, the children may have their own sleeping rooms or share with their cousins but if the compound is very crowded, they may continue to sleep in their parent’s room for many years. This intimacy requires that conjugal relations be conducted with extreme discretion.

There are so many elements to a house, so many expectations; it’s easy to fall into the cultural chasms between each one

This picture recently appeared on FaceBook. I thought it was a fascinating window into what a local builder understood to be selling points in Bali’s burgeoning housing market. There are so many elements to a house, so many expectations; it’s easy to fall into the cultural chasms between each one. (A word about nice chickens. I do think that a nice chicken around the place is indeed an important feature. I have a Rhode Island Red hen named Mabel who will not only sit companionably on my lap but often produces an egg for my breakfast. Chickens that are not nice decline to lay eggs and scratch up the exotic vegetable seedlings in the garden. Not-nice chickens make excellent curry.) “Balinese generally live out doors and do not place as much emphasis on interiors as we from cold climates do,” pointed out author Diana Darling who has spent over 30 years living in Bali, often at the village level. Diana’s magical novel ‘The Painted Alphabet’, based on an epic Balinese poem and offering many insights into traditional daily life, is available at Ganesha Books and Periplus. The typical Balinese extended family compound is still built according to ancient protocols. “The compound could be described as a curled-up foetus,” explains Rucina Ballinger, another 30-year resident. “The head will always be located in the easternmost corner facing the mountains and the feet in the south west. The head is considered holy and so is oriented to Mount Agung, and the ritually unclean feet in the opposite direction. The compound temple and ritual bale are closest to Mount Agung, and the kitchen and bathroom are at the other side of the compound. The sleeping and living spaces are in between.” The entire compound may be built based on measurements taken from the length of the original male owner’s foot, his footsteps being seen as the microcosm of a macrocosm. The compounds are hereditary, being passed down through the male line of the family. But the land is owned by the village and cannot be sold except in exceptional circumstances. So the Balinese family compound is a tradition that will continue to endure at the vortex of rapid change. When a Balinese builds a room or house for a foreigner to rent, he will usually adapt his traditional understanding of each room to what he sees as the foreigner’s very strange ways. Bad rooms. It’s kind of a nice concept to have a special room to be bad in, either with another consenting adult or just as a place to while away a lazy afternoon with a trashy novel and a glass of whiskey when you’re supposed to be doing something else. (We all have different ideas of what constitutes badness. I have already confided in this column that mine is eating bacon; I trust most of my readers are able to trump this with something more exciting.) And to have two or three bad rooms presumably provides for different types of badness... Ah, bedrooms, you say. Balinese sons bring their wives into the family compound when they marry and their sons do the same, so a family with many sons will, in a few generations, have a very crowded compound. Each freestanding bedroom in the compound will house a son, his wife and their children. Here the nuclear

And the bedroom windows and doors will likely be tightly closed all night. The Balinese usually like to sleep in shut-up rooms which are secure against marauding spirits, thieves and other things that go bump in the night. Security trumps airflow every time, which explains small windows that only open from the bottom and the absence of screens and security bars that would let a breeze-starved westerner leave them open all night. “Indonesians in general don’t like any breeze, whether it is open windows in the bedroom at night or an open car window while driving,” says Rucina, who leads unique cultural tours of Bali. (www.balispirit.com/tours/ bali_tour_dhyana.html). This may be a hold-over from old tradition or fear of spirits, and is often described as a fear of masuk angin, or ‘wind entering’. Ask your Balinese friends for an explanation of this, I’ve never been able to get a straight answer. Sleeping alone is considered very bizarre behavior. When I lived in Singapore, the local young women who worked in my office expressed dismay that I would sleep all alone in a big house. When they came to visit, they told me that if they lived there they would all sleep in the same bedroom, for company. Maybe even in the same bed. These were Chinese, Indian and Malays, so the sentiment against solitary slumber seems to be broadly based in Asia. Kitchens are another room viewed very differently by our different cultures. A Balinese kitchen, another separate building, is often a dark and smoky place. “Traditionally the peeling, chopping, grinding and other preparations were done on a chopping block while squatting outside where the light was better, and only the actual cooking took place inside,” Diana remembers. “Even up to the end of the 20th century, the Balinese still thought it remarkable that we would have a kitchen right inside our houses and stand up to prepare food.” Balinese kitchens should have a bungut paon (mouth of the kitchen) with a traditional wood-burning stove, even if this is only used for ceremonies. Some families still use wood stoves instead of gas or kerosene. And each nuclear family in a compound will have its own kitchen if space permits; the women consider this more important than a separate sleeping room for the children.

It’s kind of a nice concept to have a special room to be bad in Balinese kitchens are often kept locked up at night. “I’m not sure why this is -- perhaps because it’s the women’s domain,” mused Rucina. “Maybe it’s a safe place to hide a bit of cash from the men of the house.” I know that when I built my house, Wayan insisted that I keep the pantry locked at night. “Poison,” she intoned darkly without further explanation. As the kitchen is the first room that visitors pass (and they say that any bad thoughts they might harbor will be ‘burned off’ by God Brahma, it’s also the place where a visitor could place something unwanted, such as a spell…or poison.) As time went on I forgot to lock the door at night and eventually lost the key, without disastrous results. Balinese compounds don’t have dining rooms. The women shop for and prepare the day’s food in the morning and it’s left out under covers for the members of the family to help themselves to when they’re hungry. People come and serve a plate of food and go off somewhere alone to eat it quickly; the Balinese don’t talk while they eat. They don’t share our cultural habit of the family gathering around the dining table to chat over dinner. In fact, our concept of a dinner party is very alien to the Balinese. When invited to a Balinese house for dinner, all the socializing is done before the meal is served. When the food appears, people eat quickly and then go home. What constitutes full furniture from a Balinese perspective? They traditionally sit on the floor. They used to sleep on simple beds of wooden planks and a woven mat without

pillows. In the past, clothes were stored in baskets, with the husband’s clothing stored higher than the wife’s and women’s underwear at the lowest level. So chairs, beds, tables and even cupboards are quite new ideas. Perhaps no other room in the house is regarded so differently by our cultures than the bathroom. In the temperate west where many foreigners have roots, long cold winters make a cosy and pleasant bathroom a very attractive option. Many of us remember the out-houses of our grandparents and are very grateful for modern plumbing and heated floors. The Balinese think we spend a ludicrous amount of design attention and expense on the little room (kamar kecil) that is seen here as the least worthy of respect. Anyone who’s visited a Balinese compound will soon realize that this is the least regarded room in the house and one in which the least possible time will be spent. Because cosmology requires that bathrooms be located in the southwest of the land, our concept of ensuite bathrooms -- indeed, having a toilet under the same roof as the kitchen and bedroom -- is considered most strange. (So, by the way, is our use of toilet paper.) Toilets as such were unknown until fairly recently. In many Balinese compounds, a bathroom was only installed in the past few decades with funds from the government. Until the 1970s and even today in some areas, everything we do in a bathroom was done in the closest river, in genial groups. So even though the Balinese don’t traditionally socialize over a family dinner, they will gather to relieve themselves in the river together with great conviviality. If there was no river nearby, other options included the closest stand of banana trees. The late Dr A A Jelantik, a descendent of the royal house of Karangasam, describes his experience as a boy at school in the 1930s in his autobiography ‘The Birthmark’. “In Denpasar there was no running water system… there were ditches in the pigsties serving as toilets and the pigs cleaned up everything… we children were frightened to enter the yard and preferred to defecate squatting on the high mud wall with our backs towards the hungry animals.” Similar backyard systems exist in Goa, India, where pork is also a popular menu item -- an excellent example of recycling. So Balinese, especially elders, may well look astonished when we fuss about the colour of the toilet, paint and tile of our kamar kecil. My staff continue to marvel that I use my bathroom as a gallery, so that my visitors and I have something interesting to look at while we are sitting around. Tamu are SO strange. When Balinese build houses for westerners, they often automatically incorporate their own expectations of what a room needs to be. This cultural element often makes for very closed-in rooms that separate us sun-and-breeze hungry foreigners from the very elements we came here to enjoy. And this leads me to my greatest puzzle. The Balinese spend much of their free time lounging outdoors on cool bales, but they often don’t provide their rental rooms or houses with an outside patio or porch so we can do the same. Foreigners living in Balinese-designed houses often comment that the bathrooms are not thought through (see above) and there is no comfortable place to sit and read, especially at night (the Balinese do not have much of a culture of reading for pleasure). Stairs are another issue. Perhaps because the traditional family compound was single storey, the stairs they do build tend to be extremely steep; Diana tells me this is done to save space. So if the Balinese think we want bad rooms, fool furniture and nice chickens it’s only because we are so strange in our ways, and they are trying to make us happy.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

INDONESIA BACK ON ‘BLACKLIST’ – BUT IS IT FAIR? At its meeting in Paris last month FATF, the world’s leading financial watchdog, placed Indonesia back on its blacklist together with Thailand, Ghana, Tanzania and Pakistan. Should this concern us? Read on.... First of all, who or what is FATF? The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is an inter-governmental body whose purpose is the development and promotion of national and international policies to combat money laundering, the financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It began with a total of 31 countries that got together in 1989 as a result of their recognizing the extensive use of financial institutions by criminals. Countries that failed to cooperate were placed on a blacklist and transactions in those countries were subject to greater scrutiny. The FATF blacklist now includes 17 countries. Aside from the five new ones, they are: Bolivia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Iran, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, North Korea, Sao Tome and Principe, Sri Lanka, Syria and Turkey.

told it was in order so she transferred the money. They then came back to her and said that they wanted more information about her Indonesian husband. This annoyed her and she asked for the return of her money. They refused, saying that to return her money would be tantamount to money laundering. She relented and provided the information. DO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS STILL WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH US? You get the impression that international banks and other financial institutions are no longer interested in doing business with us; they are far more concerned with their own protection. And with good reason! Several international banks have been fined millions of dollars in the past year or two for having inadequate AML procedures in place or for laxity in accepting funds from a source that turned out to be criminal. Managers and directors of institutions can even be imprisoned for allowing the proceeds of crime pass through their books.

Indonesia was originally on the blacklist but was removed from it in 2005 thanks to the government’s efforts to implement recommended measures. So why has it returned to the blacklist? FATF recognizes that it has taken significant steps towards improving its AML (anti-money laundering) regime, including the enactment of AML legislation in 2010. But despite its high-level political commitment to work with FATF Indonesia has not made sufficient progress in implementing its action plan and certain strategic deficiencies remain. No doubt the fact that financial institutions in Indonesia have been faithfully reporting large numbers of suspicious transactions has not gone unnoticed. The problem is perhaps the lack of follow-up on a grand enough scale of all the said transactions. We have all been following the considerable efforts of the authorities to bring large cases to court but the scale of the issue is such that only the tip of the iceberg has been addressed. No doubt the latest decision of FATF will encourage an even greater resolve on the part of the government to tackle the issues. Especially since the country has a lot to gain; it is estimated that money-laundering and its related crimes cost between 2% and 5% of global gross domestic product. BUT HOW DOES THIS AFFECT US? For expatriates living in Indonesia it can affect us in many ways. If you wish to open an offshore bank account or invest with an international institution, alarm bells sound, irrespective of your nationality, once you state that you are living in Indonesia. Only this month when a client in Bali wished to add a modest $5,000 to his offshore portfolio in the Isle of Man, the life company involved said they would have to clear it first with their head office as Indonesia, in their words, was ‘very high risk’. This is frustrating when you know you are dealing with hard-working professional people who simply wish to save for the future. But there are no exceptions; if you are Indonesian, or if you live in Indonesia, or even if your funds are being transferred from an Indonesian bank you are subject to additional scrutiny. Generally this is not a major problem for us as applications are usually accepted once the client has submitted additional evidence of his employment and the source of funds. But it is a considerable inconvenience and just about every application is questioned. If the amount to be invested appears excessive in relation to the person’s income more questions are asked. In one case I had to advise a client, again in Bali, that his application for life insurance was rejected because he ran a business and could not produce satisfactory accounts. In another case a British lady opened a bank account in the Channel Islands and requested confirmation that her application was in order before transferring money to the account. She was

Bank / customer relationships have probably never been so bad. Particularly since the banking crisis of 2008. Many banks have struggled to survive; some have had to be bailed out by governments. And with tougher regulations to deal with and the threat of massive sanctions for failure to comply, it is little wonder our once friendly bank manager no longer has time to invite us in for a cup of tea!

IS THERE ANYTHING POSITIVE WE CAN DO? We can certainly avoid some of the potential hassles of dealing with financial institutions by keeping good financial records and ensuring we can always prove our residential addresses, now a universal requirement for any kind of financial application. Bearing in mind that utility bills are rarely addressed to the resident it is wise to ensure that at least one bank or credit card statement is addressed to you at home. It is also wise to have a few copies of your passport and your citizen’s or residence permit always to hand. A little preparation can save a lot of time and frustration. C/Re/G-14 Dec. 11

IS THE BLACKLISTING FAIR? It seems a poor reward for all the efforts that have been made under the present regime. But the international watchdog feels it is not enough. But how innocent are other countries that are considered ‘squeaky clean’? To what extent does FATF investigate the source of the billions of dollars hidden away in the big banks of ‘respectable’ countries? The Indonesian government is trying its best to retrieve assets that have been ferreted away into banks that perhaps did not ask the questions they should have. And how easy is it to launder money through casinos? Interesting again that ‘respectable’ countries allow casinos whilst Indonesia does not, yet Indonesia is admonished for its lack of effort in preventing money laundering. Food for thought, but in the meantime we must keep retaining those bills to prove where we live and documents to prove where we derive our income without which it will be assumed that we make our money out of nefarious activities.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MARCH 21 - APRIL 04, 2012

We have a power packed beginning to this fortnight with Uranus conjunct the New Moon, Sun and retrograde Mercury. Mercury re-enters Pisces on the 23rd and goes direct again on the 4th April. An interesting turn of events could well take place now with that unpredictable wildcard Uranus on the loose and teaming up with both the Sun and the Moon at the beginning of this cycle. Whatever was going on at the beginning of March is sure to raise its head once more and although things were quite subtle at that time with planets in Pisces, we now have the Aries theme well and truly in place. Remember Aries is ruled by Mars and as such is a warring and action packed sign that loves confrontation. Mars continues in retrograde motion until the 14th April in Virgo and where it stays until the beginning of July. This long stint of Mars Virgo has been giving everyone a little grief with its insistence on doing things well and doing them over and over again until a state of perfection is reached. It has been and continues to be a very mental time and although we experienced that lovely trine with Pluto and Jupiter to the Mars, it has been heavy going nonetheless. Aries is also a very mental and heady sign although nowhere near as procrastinating or perfection driven. In fact it is quite the opposite and often reckless and messy with little forethought or deliberation of perfectionism. The tendency will be to be very hasty with your decision making and your actions. Things will balance out a little by the Full Moon on the 7th. NEW MOON 2 Aries 22 March 22, 2012 10:38 p.m.

ARIES: Things are really going to hot up for you. As the Sun blazes into your sign she is joined by the New Moon and Uranus. So those of you with early Aries birthdays are in for a great year. As you seem to thrive on change and challenge this will be the year all of your dreams come true or at least you’ll have an interesting time trying to fulfil them. The first of our exact squares between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn takes place in June. Pluto is going to demand that you put a few things in order as well as branch out on this new path and to do that some things will need to be discarded in your life. No need to fret as this will all be very apparent when the time comes.

LIBRA: Venus in Taurus has been a lovely time, although you probably look forward to the change into Gemini when the communicative side of Venus comes out in everyone and particularly in you. Being an air sign you love to talk and you tend to fall in love with those who love to talk also. This is your opportunity to bring a little spice to your existing relationship or to talk up a storm in a new one. You are another who is deeply affected by this potent Aries cycle. The ongoing challenge and balancing act between creating enough time for yourself and enough together time. Although the urge to merge is ever prominent a little alone time is necessary.

TAURUS: Venus continues in your sign until early April and is then followed by the Gemini antics. While everything may feel steady now, be prepared for that trickster energy that comes with Gemini. The moving backwards and forwards between ideas and possibly relationships that can be so confusing for you more solid types who love to have things a little more comfortable and dependable. Some lovely grounding took place during the grand earth trine in March and may well have put some foundations to a new relationship. It’s a good thing then and just in time as the fickleness of Gemini could topple unstable partnerships. It’s a case of “now you see me, now you don’t”.

SCORPIO: The grand Earth trine in early March brought some inspiration in the form of ideas for the next few months into being. The implementation of these may require you to discard some of the old and outmoded in your life. How to implement this is the next issue. With the astrology of this fortnight there won’t be too much need to think things through as Aries is all about spontaneous action. The more you follow the hunches and the synchronicity the easier this process will be. Everything will be made clear in the days and months to come, so for now follow your guidance and find a place of trust within all of this and you will relax a little more.

GEMINI: Fire and air work well together and so with that so too does Aries and Gemini. You will enjoy the changeable energy of these times with your ability to adapt. It could be after the somewhat wet and emotional period during March that you are ready for a little action and this coming month promises to deliver. With Venus in your sign you will be attracting some like-minded souls to keep you company. That will bring your mental capabilities to the fore. Some good talk is just as exciting as sexual liaisons at this time, particularly when Mars is still in Virgo and possibility triggering the Gemini in your chart, not to mention the Venus in Gemini.

SAGITTARIUS: More and more you have the confidence to just be yourself without the necessity to run from situations or people. A certain sense of calm descended on you during March and some of this will stay with you during the changes brought about by the current transits. You are another who is able to adapt readily to changes. You may be experiencing a case of itchy feet at the moment and one that will require remedying, so be ready to move when the urge is too much to resist. Nothing like an adventure to get the adrenaline pumping and the thrill of the wind in the hair is just too much to pass up. A great time to allow spontaneous inspiration to arise.

CANCER: A very interesting moon cycle this one and it will affect you to the degree that you could be suitably unsettled during a little chaotic turbulence. Partnership, paradoxically is the theme during this Aries moon cycle. How are things looking for you and your significant other at this time? Perhaps there is no other and your thoughts are heading in that direction wondering if and when, or why not. There is the possibility of much clearing of the air now. Mind to not let yourself get too hot under the collar or flustered by what other people do or say. Everyone is going to be very touchy and quick to the defence during this coming month. Find ways to calm your nerves.

CAPRICORN: This Aries energy could prove to be a little unsettling for you if you allow it to be. People will be quick to react to impulses and with that in mind be very aware of what you are putting out there energetically and verbally. If you are spoiling for an argument then no problems but if you are a little more of the sensitive type perhaps it is a good time to take a step back and survey the situation before getting too involved or over committing yourself. The good thing about this Aries energy is that it isn’t afraid to go out on the ledge on certain issues and opportunities. You could then harness some of this and move away from your usual more cautious nature.

LEO: These current transits in a fellow fire sign could bode well for you and the changes you are wanting to make. Remember however to not throw the baby out with the bathwater as you will regret it later on. This month calls for action and you are so ready for it that your feet are itching and you are ready to roll with the changes whichever way they come. You are another who could easily get a little ruffled by what others have to say. Take a step back and use the discernment of the Mars and Virgo and the hindsight that the retrograde Mercury offers. Male/female relationships are at the forefront of change and your inner marriage is up for revision.

AQUARIUS: Uranus is a key player in these field at the beginning of the fortnight. It highlights your need to break free of stereotyped situations and to release yourself from anything that has been holding you down or back. With that in mind boldly move forward both in your personal and your business life. Both the masculine and feminine attributes are seeking attention. Balancing these within and without are your challenge now. A fiery woman is the Moon in Aries and she is sitting night next to your ruler this month. Time to express your emotions and give voice to those things that really do matter to you or that have lain dormant for some time.

VIRGO: Mars is still plodding slowly backwards in your sign until early April and then marches on through to the end of your sign by early July. This is both a good and a bad thing. It accentuates all of your qualities positive and negative.On the positive front you are more capable than ever at getting things done and on the slightly more negative you tend to worry a little more than usual about the practical running of your life. It has been an interesting time when you’ve really had the opportunity to look over your own life and to implement changes because of this review. Almost on the home stretch as Mars returns to its retrograde degree in June.

PISCES: As the Sun moves out of your sign and things really start to heat up you may wish to take advantage of Neptune in your sign and move back into those things and environments of a more spiritual nature. It could be a very unsettling time for those of a more sensitive nature. If you are one however who has managed to weather the storms of life with grace and ease, then your presence could be well appreciated during these unknown and possibly chaotic times. Be an example of peace, trust and faith if that is your calling. The urge to escape will be very tempting for many. If you feel yourself to be one of these, then take an honest appraisal of your life before making big decisions.

Colonial Chic in the Heart of Seminyak It was a tight squeeze jockeying the car down the narrow lane and into the postage-stamp size parking lot of this classic turn of last century style hotel tucked neatly behind Petitinget’s Jl. Laksamana. Like a ship’s crew, the staff were decked out in spiffy white tops and tan slacks. From the small efficient lobby we were led into the hotel’s interior, two facing rows of handsome stark white two-story edifices wrapped around a stunning central 16-meter-long pool. Such an architectural incongruity seems somehow totally compatible in today’s Bali. With its balconies, austere lines, ornamental lamp fixtures, potted plants and graceful palms, the “tempoe doeloe” architecture and interior offered up a blend of old time elegance and present-day comforts. The appearance to me had a striking resemblance to the beautiful Art Deco courtyard interior of Surabaya’s landmark Majapahit Hotel, opened as the colonial Oranje Hotel in 1910, and faithfully restored. The Colony is unabashedly designed for vacationers and honeymooners - there’s no business office, no library and no kids under 16 allowed. The property is meant for pure pleasure, for serious exercise laps in the long wide luxurious pool. Breakfast is meticulously prepared, nicely presented and promptly served. I asked the GM Robert Muri about the no children policy, which is unusual for Bali. “the hotel is not really built to accommodate children. The pool is too deep, it is all at one level and there are no barriers. Besides, one of the points of difference in The Colony was to create at such a central location a tranquil environment.”

it was all Legian. By the time the stylish Ku De Ta opened in 2005, the area was still a laid-back northern fringe of the Kuta Beach scene, far from the madding crowd. There were a few posh hotels like the Oberoi and The Legian, but Jl. Petitenget was still mostly paddy and cow pastures with budget losmen and tourist restaurants here and there. In the course of its evolution, the surrounding open fields began to attract the development of private villas. Real estate agents opened shopfront offices and land prices skyrocketed. The district also become a magnet for spa and health clubs like Bodyworks and Jari Menari (“dancing fingers”) popular with villa dwellers. Now Petitinget has become one of the most desirable places to live in all of south Bali, a center for fine dining and the inner sanctum of fashion. The main difference nowadays between Petitinget and Canggu is one of exposure. In the Petitinget neck of the woods, people like to get out and about, to see and be seen, whereas Canggu is much more about villa life behind the compound walls. Some people complain that Seminyak is headed down-market, but it always had a funky side. If you want a fabulous life style with a Zen rock garden and uniformed staff bowing at you, Canggu is the place. There are some beautiful villas in Seminyak too, but Seminyak is still a casual beach resort in its soul.

He was right. Not a single dog bark or growl of motorbike could be heard, even though we were ensconced less than 100 meters in from the busy main street. Once called Jalan Oberoi after the luxury hotel, the street had its name officially changed to Jalan Laksmana. As classy restaurants, cafes and lounge bars began to mushroom, the street became known colloquially as “Eat Street.” Within easy walking distance of the hotel are such internationally famous restaurants as The Living Room, and the Hu’u Bar.

Starting in the late 1980s, the cool people began migrating west from Kuta and settled in and around what was known at the time as Seminyak, eventually evolving into the dynamic and stylish business and villa district of today. The Colony is actually located in Petitinget, a small neighborhood between Petitinget and Kerobokan, but it’s problematic trying to make fine geographical distinctions about the area as everyone has a different opinion. Perhaps it’s most accurate to say that there is no such thing as a “Seminyak” anymore as it has become a catch-all for the whole the area between Kuta and Canggu, roughly Double 6 to Batu Belig on the beach. No one ever talked about Seminyak in the late 1990s. Then

Our host was Bonita’s partner Jamie James, the American novelist, critic and travel writer based in Bali. Jamie describes the cabaret to people as “Las Vegas on a shoestring.” We were first treated to a Sumatran tari piring (dish dance) accompanied by bamboo angklung orchestra. Then there were dance numbers by teasingly raunchy cross dressers and and bejeweled and s t a t u e s q u e diaphanous-gowned dream-like female impersonators singing songs like the operatic “It’s Time to Say Goodbye.” The most hilarious acts, usually accompanied by male dancers, were put on by performers who looked like flappers from the Roaring ‘20s. The show culminated in a Grand Finale where the performers took their bows, then posed to take photographs on stage with members of the audience. “It’s more lavish than the bar shows on Dhayanapura, and the audience is considerably less raucous,” Jamie explained. “For one thing, it starts at 9 pm, allowing dinner and a show and home by a reasonable hour. Here the emphasis is on glamour more than sex. Of course we have a local gay following -- what do you expect when the main attractions are drag divas, lipsynching Donna Summers and Whitney Houston? But there are always a lot of families from the tourist hotels around us. Some of the most star-struck members of the audience are the children -- they love to come up on the stage and dance with the divas and have their pictures taken with them. The show is really for anybody who wants a little glitter in their life.”

We appreciated the hotel’s all pervastive quiet, but by the next day it was time to head for the beach. At one end sat the majestic Pura Masceti Ulung Tanjung temple complex under a giant Ketapang shade tree. The huge parking lot was half empty on a Saturday afternoon. Vendors selling steamed corn, gado-gado, chicken sate and kampung snacks catered to Indonesians who make up 90% of the visitors to this beach. Seminyak Beach, in front of the Ku De Ta to the southeast, is more the domain of international tourists.

“Boutique Street” would perhaps be a more apt nickname for the Oberoi-Petitinget area of North Seminyak. Close to the hotel we took a shortcut down an alleyway which led to Seminyak Square, a small mall where a band was set up facing a grass lawn lined with cafes, delis, exclusive shops, a gourmet supermarket and an open air souvenir market. Following Jl. Petitinget and emerging finally again back into Jalan Raya Seminyak, the whole street was packed with boutiques selling jewelery, shoes, sandals, clothing, furniture, home-decor and works of art. The Kuta and Legian areas are also popular for shopping but retailers there are known more for wood carvings, cheap souvenirs, batik clothing and the quality is not as high.

invisible until we traced all the dishes to their origin behind the stage.

At the entrance, signs warned against throwing away trash (not entirely successful), warned against tsunamis (seemed likely) and an odd sign stated that swimming and sunbathing is prohibited (not enforced). Sauntering over the clean grey sand were couples, professional dog walkers, joggers and small families with kids. An Australian was throwing a soccer ball into the ocean and a big black dogs dived into the waves like a surfer to fetch it. As sunset neared, the crowds thickened. A whole busload of teenagers from Banyuwangi spreads out over the beach in small animated groups.

Daylight lasts longer on the coast than up in the mountains where the sun dips below the treeline and darkness falls half an hour earlier in the evening. Here the orb’s bright red flare persists until the instant it melts into the sea, then the afterglow lingers for another hour. We could get used to this, we thought. A Seminyak Institution Although many of south Bali’s most renowned dining places were an easy walk, we wanted some spicy entertainment with our dinner so we headed to Waroeng Bonita. Arriving at 8 pm, we sat in the festive open courtyard hung with orchids and twinkling lights and waited for the show to begin. It was the Bonita’s Friday night cabaret, a fun, high-spirited one-hour long Bali-style variety show called “Baliwood Extravaganza.” We had time to try a whole range of cuisines, so in quick succession we had Thai beef salad, tom yum gung soup, crisp fried calamari rings and pumpkin soup. The owner Bonita comes from Sulawesi, so we also ordered the Makassarese specialties Rica Rica and Snapper Sulawesi, which turned out as hot as expected. The kitchen appeared

by Dr. Rob Adi’s Art House Paintings and Installations by Adi Bachmann At Adi’s Gallery, Jl. Bisma 102, Ubud Tel: 977104 ‘Objets Trouvé’ can sometimes be less charitably referred to as ‘trash art’. ‘Ready made’ or ‘found’ art, and other terms for ‘Objets Trouvé’, derives its status as art due to the importance placed by the artist upon otherwise mundane daily life items. Controversial in its claim to be considered ‘art’, appreciation of ‘Objets Trouvé’ is arguably in the eye of both the ‘holder’ as well as the ‘beholder’. ‘Objets Trouvé’ is nothing without the artist, who sees deeper meaning in the otherwise prosaic and commonplace ordinary objects, giving these ‘items’ new titles and new meanings. The origins of ‘Objets Trouvé’ can be traced to the artistic movement Dada. A meaningless word, the term was first used in Zurich in 1916, but, ‘Dada’ quickly signified an international ‘anti-art’ movement that, shocked by World War 1, questioned rationalism, traditional values, and the culture of the 19th century. Dada’s destruction of cultural conventions and anti-art rhetoric, achieved by means of provocation, shock, irony, and satire, also released immense creativity. Ambiguous and playful experiments with unusual means, materials, and forms of expression, including trivial and calculated dilettantism, were to become the accepted norm. Anything was suitable as subject matter. The resulting non-traditional art forms included typography, collage, photomontage, found objects, and assemblage. Dada provided the inspiration for many artists in the 1950s and 1960s, and it was to become one of the principle components underlining Pop Art. An ongoing exhibition, ‘Adi’s Art House’, at Adi’s Gallery in Ubud, Kartika 1 features paintings, sculptures, and ‘Objets Trouvé’ by the versatile artist Adi Bachmann. With his paintings, such as ‘Kartika 1’, Adi continues his experiments with basic colors: blue, red, yellow, and black and white. These colors are used to express the experimental nature of these paintings, and are presented on plywood and plastic materials instead of canvas. The sculptural piece ‘Dinner for One’ is one of the central pieces of the exhibition. On a small round table are formally arranged china, cutlery, glasses, cotton napkins, and a candlestick. All of the items, including a Greek tavern table, are covered with a layer of glue and sand. Thus, the whole arrangement appears like carefully carved sandstone. This is a borrowing from the baroque idea of ‘Trompe-L’Oeil’, that nothing is what it looks like. Dinner for One

However, the highlights of the exhibition are the items of witty ‘Objets Trouvé’ which Adi presents. These are a wide assortment of items collected by Adi over the years, many items of which are still commonly used in Balinese households. Adi displays these objects on columns and stands, which gives the trivial objects a certain amount of new artistic value. A dung fork A four pointed Trident becomes ‘A four pointed Trident’, a sickle to cut grass makes a political comment as ‘Sickle without Hammer’, and a Chocker from Potsdam coconut grater turns into a rather sinister ‘Coconut Guillotine’. These are some of the more than 25 Balinese household items which Adi exhibits. Nevertheless, there is ‘Objets Trouvé’ from the western hemisphere as well. Three pairs of gloves become a ‘Choker from Potsdam’, while the letter ‘A’ is created from a plastic clothes peg. This quite blatant Dadaistic exhibition shows the more crazy aspects of Adi Bachmann’s life both inside and outside of Bali. Adi’s A Insexts (Do they also do it?) Photographs by David Lowenthal At Gaya Art Space, Jalan Raya Sayan, Ubud Tel: 979252 David Lowenthal is a British born naturalist and environmentalist. He began diving at the age of 11, and forty years on he is still diving and passionate as always about the marine Insexts 1 environment. David was a keen underwater photographer in the pre-digital days, and he had several exhibitions in London. In 1990 he formed the ‘Fragile World’ company dedicated to coral reef conservation and education. David has also worked on several projects with the Marine Conservation Society. Although David has always had a fascination with insects it was only in 2002, after moving to Ubud, that he took a deeper interest in the class ‘Insecta’. A few years later, David began capturing the Insexts 2 behavior of some of Bali’s smallest and often rarest creatures. His photographs, such as ‘Insexts 1’ and ‘Insexts 2’, portray insects in a completely different light. Many of us only see insects as pests to be eradicated,

but, David takes us inside a secret, passionate, and often very caring insect world. In his exhibition ‘Insexts (Do they also do it?)’ David provides us with many interesting examples of insect sex-life: There is a male species of fritillary butterfly that seduces females by showering them with ‘love dust’, and a species of stick insect (phasmatodea) that mates non-stop for twelve weeks. David is most passionate about the biodiversity of the natural world, and the ‘Insexts’ exhibition is a celebration of the incredible biodiversity that exists in Bali today. With a dramatic increase in the population of the Balinese, mass tourism, habitat destruction, a construction boom, car and motorbike pollution, rampant toxic fogging practices, and, sadly, a thriving wildlife trade, David feels that it is very difficult to predict the future of the wildlife in Bali. David also has an interest in design, and the natural world offers him an almost infinite number of shapes, color combinations, and patterns to capture with his inquisitive camera. You will find the ‘Insexts’ exhibition is full of inspiration, harmony, and much humor.

Giraffes do not poop plastic as I discovered this month. This I learned after hearing of the recent death of Surabaya Zoo’s 30 year old giraffe, who when given an autopsy a 20kg lump of plastic was found in its stomach. How? You may well ask! Well it seems that well meaning, though not terribly lateral minded, spectators have been known to throw packaged food “gifts” into its pen. The other culprit? No surprises here; Indonesia’s general filth and waste mismanagement. Seems the elegant beast, who has spent the last 13 years of its life alone in a concrete pen also had to put up with the general flotsam and jetsam of plastic litter whirling about its confines. Grim Tails This story has a deeper and darker context. Apparently Surabaya Zoo, the largest in Indonesia, has had around 500 animals die during the period of 2010 - 2011. A rather curious statistic given that most zoos these days pride themselves on animal conservation. Included in these deaths was the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger. Pneumonia, malnutrition, and diarrhea were the stated causes. In fact our dear giraffe actually died of tuberculosis, which it apparently caught from a staff member of which seven are currently suffering. Sounding more like a Dickens novel than a 21st century sanctuary for animals. With the zoo looking to buy three more giraffes from a source in America, let’s hope they say “ah…no.” Gembira Guys and Gals Indonesians are amongst the happiest people in the world with 51% describing themselves as “very happy”. Next on the list were India and Mexico. An interesting result I would say given that all three of those countries would be regarded as poor and underdeveloped in many ways. Australia and the US tied in 5th place with 28% being “very happy” and the UK having 21% of its population considering themselves cheery. However, if you meet a Hungarian, give them a smile and buy them a drink because only 6% of that lot feels the joie de vivre.

BUZZ By Monsoon Wanita Earth Day - Happy Nyepi While the rest of the world likes to give the earth a break for one honorable, yet meager, hour during the annual voluntary recess of Earth Hour – Bali really shows ‘em how it’s done with Nyepi. For 24 hours an enforced restraint is placed on all island dwellers from driving, shopping, dining, partying, and for the more reverent even the general use of electricity is taboo. Our beloved little island finally gets the environmental sabbatical it desperately deserves. Ok so Nyepi has nothing to do with the environment, but is a holy day for self-reflection and the coming new year. Let’s reflect on this - while so many logical environmental activities struggle to see the light of life, the power of religion has the ability to stop a whole island for one whole day. Imagine what it could do for the environment! Green Faith While Hinduism is a remarkably diverse religion with many local and regional manifestations, there are several important environmental themes emerging within this universe according to the Assistant Professor of South Asian Religions and Ecology at the University of Texas. So take note Hindu’s especially if you are currently an environmental heathen. 1. The earth can be seen as a manifestation of the goddess and mother Devi, and must be treated with respect 2. The five elements - space, air, fire, water and earth - are the foundation of an interconnected web of life. 3. Dharma - often translated as “duty” can be reinterpreted to include our responsibility to care for the earth 4. Our treatment of nature directly affects our karma. Whether you are Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, a Scientologist, Baha’i, Christian, Jewish, Rastafarian, Atheist, Sikh, Mormon, Shinto, Jehovah’s Witness: if you happen to be in Bali on this day I hope you take the time to use this unique opportunity for a morsel of self reflection for yourself and for your world.

LOMOGRAPHY’S LOMOKINO HANDYCAM

More Gadgets Galore. In this issue I have a bunch of cameras (can you tell, I love cameras), a unique jump drive for you germaphobes, a very unusual light, and expensive amp, a learning thermostat, and an umbrella with a light. Enjoy. KODAK EASYSHARE SPORT CAMERA

Digital refuseniks, this one’s for you: the first “camcorder” to be produced by analogue fetishist Lomography, the retro fanatic behind the Diana camera. It’s an endearingly boxy, 35mm film camera that shoots at a less than Avatar-esque four frames per second and requires you to turn the film using a hand crank. So, whereas Lomography’s cameras recall the hazy, groovy 70s, this bids to return coffee shop-dwelling hipsters to the age of the silent movie. Chaplin is the new Gervais, after all. C/Ci/I-7 March 12

The gimmick-free Kodak EasyShare Sport has no built-in Wi-Fi, no automatic face detection and—amazingly—no optical zoom. Instead, it’s just a pocketable, reliable, waterproof 12-megapixel camera at a price (just $80!) that won’t break your bank if you accidentally leave it by the beach. http://www.kodak.com LEXAR UNVEILS ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTED, JUMPDRIVE S50 USB FLASH DRIVES Anyone worried about catching colds or worse from their flash drive after handing them to to other people might be interested to know that Lexar have now designed a flash drive that comes with Microban antimicrobial product protection. Lexar explains: “Surface with antimicrobial protection helps prevent the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria. Built in during the manufacturing process, this added protection inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold that can cause stains, odors, and product deterioration—providing an added measure of cleanliness.”

Price: £65, Lomography.com NEST LEARNING THERMOSTAT Meet the world’s first intelligent thermostat. Conceived and developed by the creator of the iPod, Nest learns its owner’s preferences after a week of use. Its built-in motion sensors can detect when residents are home, automatically adjusting the temperature to the perfect comfort level. A free app also lets users adjust settings remotely from their smartphones. $250;nest.com. NIKON J1 AND V1 HYBRIDS Listen up Olympus PEN and Sony NEX, there are two new interchangeable-lens snappers in town, and they’re the smallest and lightest in the world. Both the entry-level J1 and top-end V1 cram in an Expeed 3 sensor, which is capable of taking 20 shots in a single second. It even reels off images before you fully depress the shutter. Throw in tip-top lenses and you have serious snapping power.

OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2

PATH ILLUMINATING UMBRELLA

The fourth-generation micro-four-thirds Pen marries the lens versatility of a professionalgrade camera (great for shooting close-ups and low-light scenes) with a travel-friendly size. It also has easy-to-use 720p HD video capability and a detachable Penpal device that lets you send images to your phone wirelessly.

This umbrella will feature a flashlight that has been specially built into the handle, where it will do its job well to illuminate paths during dark, rainy strolls. At the flashlight’s end, it can articulate up to 180º (maximum 90º perpendicular to the umbrella’s fiberglass shaft), making sure your next step is always a safe one, thanks to a trio of bright white LEDs that deliver 100 lumens of brightness. Boasting corrosion-resistant fiberglass ribs and speaders that will help support its 60″ nylon gust-resistant canopy, it comes with a manual open/close mechanism and pinchless runner. Powered by a trio of AAA batteries, they offer up to 48 hours of non-stop lighting action. http://www.hammacher.com/ US$39 MCINTOSH MC275 AMPLIFIER This stunningly retro vacuum tube amp may be a bit on the deep-wallets side, but what price can you put on a hi-fi classic? Originally built in 1961, this 50th anniversary version of the McIntosh MC275 has two 75W outputs and will give any sound system a massive boost, not to mention turning heads with its unique design. There are goldplated binding posts for clean and clear sound and you can plug in any speakers you happen to have kicking around. We’d suggest something a little better than the ones that came with your creaking, old mini system. It just wouldn’t look right… Price: £4,100, mcintoshlabs.com

We have seen an LED umbrella in the past that offers some sense of illumination whenever you take that long and lonely walk back home, with all the streetlights seemingly working against your fears as they remain turned off for no particular reason. Well, that is a rather general shower of light, and as we all know, it is always better to remain focused in life – hence the $39.95 Path Illuminating Umbrella.

$600; getolympus.com PANASONIC DMC 3D1 COMPACT CAMERA Most compact cameras are happy with adding a bigger zoom, but not the Panasonic DMC 3D1; it’s added a whole extra dimension. The thinnest 3D camera in the world, it takes 12-megapixel 2D shots and eight-meg 3D ones, with 1920x1080 3D video recording to boot. C/CI/G-21 Sept. 11

Price: £TBC, Panasonic.co.uk LIGHT LIGHT LAMP This is the home gadget equivalent of witchcraft. A levitating top section floats above the matt black base of this table lamp, with electromagnets used to keep the two halves apart. A run of LEDs around the base act as the 300- lux light source and a dimmer lets you adjust the intensity of the glow. Amaze and confound friends and household pets by swiping your hand through the gap. They’ll quickly come to the only logical conclusion: you’re a witch and must be burnt or drowned.

ARDEN DOCTOR

C/Ho/I-18 May 11

by Dr. Kris

Some Like it Hot

‘I recently moved into a new residence, and the previous owners have left a few pots lying around, so I started to plant a few things in them. I had been experimenting with green beans and tomatoes, and a few other things with little success. I tried planting the stuff directly into the ground in a few places but the result is still the same. Can you tell me which fruit or vegetable would be easiest to grow for a first timer gardening in Bali? Any help appreciated. Andrew’ Living in Bali, Indonesia or anywhere else in the tropics it can be especially hard to grow certain fruits and vegetables if not grown at the right time of the season, and even then the climate can still be too hot. I suspect the reason that you are having trouble with your beans and tomatoes is because of the high heat and humidity of the wet season. Plants like water but if it is excess to their needs they will be more susceptible to fungus, root rot, and a host of all other diseases. I would leave tomato growing for the dry season. If you would like to grow something that is easy to maintain, and easy to succeed at, try growing some chilli plants. They look quite attractive and consistently bear fruit and best of all they are well suited to the climate of Indonesia. Indonesian people love eating chilli to excess, and it is in constant supply as it is easy to grow here. Throughout its life a chilli plant will resemble a small tree, and you can cut it and train it however you like. You can pick the chillies when they are green or red, and there are even yellow, orange and purple varieties. The most popular varieties to grow are Birdseye, Cayenne, Jalapeno and Habanero. The most popular in Indonesia is the Birdseye chilli, otherwise known as cabe in Indonesia (pronounced - cha-bay). Cayene are also very popular. In western countries we commonly refer to Birdseye as Thai chilli, but it doesn’t actually originate from Thailand at all. Like tomatoes, they have their origins in South and Central America. It is always surprising when you look into the history of plants and their origins, and their current use in national cuisines. The predominance of tomato in Italian cuisine might suggest that tomatoes originated there, yet they were imported from the Americas and then quickly adopted into the cuisine. Likewise chillies were brought to Asia from the Americas where it now is a staple of Indonesian and all other south-east Asian cuisines. They are one of the most important agricultural commodities in Indonesia and its price fluctuations can significantly affect overall inflation rates. Food prices including chilli usually rise before and during the fasting month of Ramadhan. If you have been in Indonesia for a while you have surely been asked if you like sambal (chilli paste) with your food. Growing Chillies You can buy plants from a nursery or you can grow them from seed. You can start them at any time of year, though I recommend that they are allowed to grow for a few months before the wet season hits them. You can grow them in pots or direct into the garden and they will grow into small sized bushes of up to two metres tall, after a few years. They vary in how hot

they are, the heat tends to increase as the size of the chilli gets smaller. Green chilies are the unripe fruit, and have a different flavor to red chilies. We are in the tropics so your chillies should thrive. They should live for three to four years and produce fruit all year. They are related to capsicums and tomatoes, so the growing requirements are similar, except that chillies need more heat, and cope much better with high humidity. They will grow well in any soil and don’t need any special treatment. If you use mulch and compost in your garden then the chillies will grow just fine. If your soil is poor, you’ll have to start using more compost in your garden. If fertilizing, remember that like most fruiting plants, they like potassium, and too much nitrogen will force foliage growth and no fruit. Make sure they are regularly watered and that the soil doesn’t dry out for more than a few days. After the plant is a year old you may need a stake or trellis to help support the plant, as their roots are usually shallow and weak, though this is not always the case. Other than that chillies grow happily and aren’t bothered much by any pests or diseases. If they struggle it’s usually due to poor soil fertility, so make sure to add organic matter. The toughest most vigorous of chilli plants is the Birdseye, which anyone should be able to grow, they commonly reach a height of two metres and are always prolific. The tiny fruit is very hot and wild birds and chickens love to eat them (apparently they don’t feel the heat). My favorite culinary variety is the Cayenne pepper, a medium sized bush with darker leaves and an elongated fruit of medium heat. Chillies are quick to fruit and you can harvest the first ones green once they reach full size, or you can wait until they turn red. I always have a few bushes growing. I let some of the fruit drop to the ground where the seeds eventually sprout again.

The Health Benefits Red chilli contains more vitamin C than an orange and is also high in vitamin A, potassium, magnesium and iron. It is also said to have an enzyme that can prevent heart disease and has been shown to lower blood pressure. On A Final Note The Oxford English Dictionary refers to the word chilli as the primary spelling. This is said to be the original translation of the Aztec word for the plant. There are many accepted versions. Chile with an “e” at the end is the correct for Spanish. Chili with an “i” at the end is the American version. In Indonesia the most common names are Cabe or Lombok.

21 March - 04 April, 2012

“Bakso and the Art of Air Conditioner Maintenance” Last week we looked at air conditioners and I attempted to explain how they work. I might have failed miserably in my attempt to teach hairdressers the finer points of how to create disturbances by squirting highly volatile gasses through small orifices however in the overall scheme of things this is, for most people, about as useful as a saddle on a duck. It is, however, probably a little useful to know about how you can look after your air conditioner especially in a world where some enterprising young soul who’s skill base consists of the ability to pick his nose and roll bakso balls may suddenly decide that he can make more shekels servicing air conditioners. While nasal deposits and bakso have a number of similar qualities the same cannot be said for air conditioners and bakso which unfortunately do not share many standard features. Whatever else you may or may not have understood from the last article you might have understood that the main component of an air conditioner is a pipe full of pressurised gas. The pipe has a number of joints that connect the various parts of the air conditioner together. If any of these joints leak the gas will escape and the air conditioner will not work. If the air conditioner is correctly installed and in good condition then there is no reason why the gas should escape and I have an air conditioner that has run quite happily for 7 years without any problem. If, however, an enterprising young bakso roller decides to “maintain” your air conditioner you may have a problem. Those amongst us who have ventured into that nether world of plumbing using copper pipe and fittings will know that connecting pipes requires care, a delicate understanding of how much pressure to exert in just the right place and most of all a little understanding. If a nipple or a flare is only a little out of place this can spell disaster (I’m talking engineering here not fashion). It is highly unlikely that our bakso roller will understand anything about nipples, flares will be beyond him and in frustration he will attempt to seal the joints using bakso. There is more than a slight chance that bakso will not work in this particular application and we will have a leak. The gas used in air conditioners does not come cheap and this in itself may create its own problems as indicated by an email I received this week: “I recently had my aircon serviced, it is done regularly. The unit is 5 years old. I was told this time (by a different serviceman) that the unit needed re gassing. My questions are 1 do the units need regassing and 2 is 250,000 a fair price to do so?” In such a situation we first need to ask the question “is the air conditioner cold enough?” Sometimes air conditioners can leak and lose gas and you will need to recharge them. Often the leak is caused by poor installation or bad servicing though it may be the result of physical damage or corrosion. If an air conditioner has a small leak it will slowly go less cold over time and it will need regassing. It is, however, very important that the leak is found and repaired before regassing or, of course, you will lose the gas again. An air conditioner usually needs a pressure of about 60 to 70 psi (pounds per square inch) of gas. You should expect to have to pay around Rp. 50,000 for each 10 psi of gas so if your air conditioner has lost most of its gas then Rp. 250,000 is a reasonable cost. If it has lost so much gas it will not be blowing cold air. So back to my original question, how cold is your air conditioner, if it is still fairly cold then Rp250,000 sounds like a lot. If an AC has been running properly for a long period of time but suddenly needs regassing then you probably should try and find out why gas has leaked out of it. I received a reply: “Yes, it’s cold enough... I think the usual applied, the serviceman was after a little extra cash. He didn’t mention anything about checking for any leakage.”

Cleaning an Air Conditioner It is a good idea to clean your air conditioner regularly to remove accumulated dust and grime. Just to understand let me explain what is involved, nothing like a bit of knowledge to protect you from the bakso man. When cleaning the wall mounted indoor unit of an air conditioner the technician must first remove the front cover. This cover has a grill through which it draws in air and flaps that move to direct the air flow. It also has a filter element behind the grill to collect dirt particles. All this is plastic and can easily be damaged by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. The filter elements and plastic cover are cleaned in soapy water. Once the cover is removed the internal parts of the unit are exposed. As I said last issue an air conditioner has cooling fins consisting of flat pieces of copper or aluminium sheet that are fixed to the circulation pipe to improve its ability to absorb or

give out heat. The fins are quite fragile and need to be handled with care. A lot of air blows through an air conditioner which means that the fins can collect a lot of dirt. Accumulated dirt tends to insulate the pipe and the fins so they don’t work as well, the air conditioner will have to work harder and will use more electricity while not cooling your room down as well as it should. The fins need to be cleaned regularly (probably around every 3 months) but they are usually close together and are not easy to get to. Air conditioner technicians use small pumps to squirt water through the fins to remove the dirt.

The internal unit also has a drain to allow water to drain away as it condenses on the cold cooling fins. When cleaning an air conditioner it is important to make sure the drain is unblocked and clean. Got a dripping air conditioner - this is often the problem.

C/BM/I-25 Jan 12

The exterior compressor unit of an air conditioner has another set of cooling fins that should also be cleaned. The external unit is often out of sight and out of mind and may well be difficult to get to and I have it on good authority that bakso rollers are scared of heights so if you have an air conditioner cleaned it is a good idea to make sure that both the interior and exterior units are done at the same time. As long as it is carried out properly regular cleaning of air conditioners should not do anything that would allow the gas to leak out or in any other way damage the units.

Maintaining an Air Conditioner So you’ve got a problem with your air conditioner? The first thing to do is to check the batteries in the remote control! You’d be amazed how many people request a maintenance call only to find all they need is a new triple A. That didn’t work, then call a technician, find someone who knows what they are doing. For those more technically inclined let us look at what might be involved in maintaining an air conditioner, there are a number of parts that can fail and may need to be checked and repaired if needed.

C/BM/I-05 Oct 11

The air conditioner indoor unit has a remote control sensor which connect to electronic circuits which controls the fan speed, the temperature setting and timing devices. Some of the cleverer air conditioners also have a movement sensor which switches the machine into a more economic setting when no one is in the room. The control circuit can burn out or be damaged by fluctuations in the electrical supply (we don’t get many of those in Bali now do we?) and the solution is usually to put in a new circuit board. A small electric motor drives the fan in the indoor unit and a larger motor drives a larger fan in the outdoor unit. These runs continuously for many hours at a time and, while they are usually very reliable, their bearings may eventually fail which may need replacing. If the bearings start getting worn you will find the air conditioner starts to make a lot more noise. If your air conditioner is not cooling and the unit is properly gassed you may find you are having problems with the compressor, the bit that pumps the gas around. This may be the end of the line for an air conditioner. Compressor units are complex things with an electric motor, pump unit and valves all enclosed within a sealed steel casing. You will also find that replacements are usually, expensive, not the same brand and of much lower quality than the original unit. Once the compressor goes it is very often better to buy a new air conditioner than replace a compressor. It should also be noted that there is lubricating oil for the compressor within the air conditioner pipework. Our bakso roller is hardly likely to know anything about such things and could well damage the compressor if he starts trying to regas the system. Finally the pipes between the indoor and outdoor unit of an air conditioner are wrapped in an insulation to keep them cool. This insulation provides another important function - it stops water condensing on the cold pipes and dripping on your beautiful ceiling below. If the insulation is damaged it is a good idea to replace it.

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

Bamboo is Bamboo! The name says it all. The Bamboo restaurant is a complete bamboo structure, standing tall on Kartika Plaza in central Tuban, just in front of Waterbom Park, completely different to the monotonous mass of concrete and glass that fills this area, and many other parts of southern Bali. The building is facing the street at a three quarter angle, looking back along the street towards Kuta, standing out from all around it. Multi tiered, the lower surrounds have tables, chairs and banquettes on a white sand base, the mid tier is slightly more refined, the upper tier houses the comfortable bar [in bamboo of course]. At night the place really buzzes! It is a tourist restaurant that gives them what they want. Even the wine list is carefully constructed of interesting wines that are reasonably priced. The food is basically simple, but full of taste. That man from Perth, long time restaurateur Warren Mead, who has his own restaurant out on Tandjung Benoa, has been involved in the set up of Bamboo and the cooking style is totally his with attention to detail to the fore. An even mix of seafood and meats are evident in both the entrees and mains. Oysters can be Natural [chilled with fresh lemon wedge] or that Australian favourite style, Kilpatrick [with bacon shreds and Worcestershire sauce]. The Squid Rings are amazing, cut from baby squids they are dipped in cajun spices before deep frying, that leaves a pleasant tingling after taste. The King Prawns are also Australian style, split open and called cutlets, cooked with a touch of garlic. Soups are a thick rich Seafood Chowder with herb topped crostini and a traditional Oxtail Soup [actually with oxtail meat unlike some of the local versions that contain nothing more than just bone]. The salad is simple but refreshing, consisting of sashimi tuna, avocado and freshly chopped chives. Asparagus stalks are wrapped in smoked salmon and served with a honey mustard dressing drizzled all over. The Burgers are beef steak chopped in the kitchen, the beef is Australian Tenderloin with that Black Tom mashed potatoes [garlicky] and sautéed mushrooms. The Grilled Chicken on baguette with salad and fries can be called a large entrée

or a small main whilst the king size Baby Pork Back Ribs are definitely for the hungry brigade, the sweet sticky sauce with a tang makes a mess of your fingers but then you get to lick them dry, the only way to eat ribs! For the problem child there are Jumbo sized Hot Dogs, big enough the keep them quiet for a while. A selection of Pizzas [seafood, the ‘Aussie’; Hawaiian with ham, pineapple and cheese, a vegetarian, gourmet chicken and a spicy Volcano] are also a regular favourite with kids [but of all ages]. The seafood options are many. Standard style is the Red Snapper and Mahi-Mahi Fillets, both cooked in that simple Mead fashion of being filleted in the kitchen, dipped in an egg wash to seal in the flavour then served with lemon and sea salt. Sardine fillets are grilled as is the Sashimi grade Tuna. Then there is their pasta dish, Linguine, tossed with prawns, white fish and clams. As a restaurant catering to the International hoards one item has to be on the menu; Fish & Chips. Fillets of snapper are dipped in a light beer batter. Even though the fish is deep-fried as the batter seals in the fish the flesh tastes almost as if it has been steamed, the flavour kept in! A touch of local cuisine is the Fish Curry, with rice of course. A Seafood Duo combines red snapper and prawns.

The meals are hearty, the food is basically simple but they use the best fresh local ingredients [seafood and vegetables straight form the market every day], and you can taste the difference! Great value to find a restaurant like this in the middle of tourist town! It is very different from the rest which is obvious when you see the crowds that are flocking to Bamboo ever since it opened.

Update TJ’s is one of Bali’s original tourist restaurants, all of which were begun in the vicinity of Bemo Corner, Kuta. Located on a corner of Poppies Lane I, the garden and water pond interior has always had a cooling effect upon entering. Mexican restaurants [or Cal-Mex/Tex-Mex] have come and gone all over Bali, but TJ’s remains, virtually unchanged for almost 30 years [opened 1984]. One of their secrets is their attention to detail. They even make their own tortillas, tacos, etc. What is more the tacos at TJ’s do not crumble in your fingers, yet they are thinner and crispier than most others. Reason is that they are freshly made here [most others are imported, therefore they arrive unfinished in frozen form as the finished taco has a very short shelf life]. The TJ’s taco shell and wonderful salsas will soon be seen on your supermarket shelves, but can be purchased now from the restaurant, including the clever mini-taco, perfect for party food. Breakfast at TJ’s is full-on Mex. Their Huevos Rancheros [beans, salsa, eggs and things, tortilla on the side] are prepared in the traditional way and presented in a ceramic bowl, just like in countryside Mexico where this staple breakfast originated, whilst the Breakfast Tostado combines with egg and bacon [pictured]. The rest of the day is devoted to all those other Mexican specials, including those great tacos, and the most amazing Baby Back Pork Ribs I have ever eaten. Most ribs are boiled to remove the fat but that also removes most of the flavour, at TJ’s they are gently steamed, the fats go but the flavour stays in! Taste the difference. C/R/G-15 June 11

Betelnut Café is in Canggu, on Jln. Batu Bolong, and its cuisine is healthy! Located almost opposite Deus and like Deus, Betelnut Café also has a strong surfing tradition. It has been built on two levels, with limited capital, but with ingenuity and hard work from mainly felled coconut trees. The main upstairs section of small booths and tables overlooking the adjacent rice paddies is a place to relax, any time. The emphasis is on simple food with local fresh organic ingredients, and all at budget prices. Young Australian owner/chef Justin Masters has explored the kitchens of the world including a stint in Bali with Paul Boehmer at Loloan, back in its heyday. They are open from breakfast [fruit and things or eggs every which way] till late evening close. A Mezze Plate of falafel balls and tempe crisps is with hummus, roasted peppers, sun-dried tomato and marinated feta. The Burgers offer a traditional beef plus a healthy lentil or Balinese-spiced chicken and fish versions. Many salads and wraps, all very healthy but even more so is the raw food selection [spicy tempe sheets rolled around crunchy slaw with sweet soy sambal]. There is a local vegetarian Nasi Goreng with red rice and a host of Mex options [tacos, burritos and tostados all with your choice of chicken or mahi-mahi]. For dessert a strawberry, lime and basil tart. All at budget prices so the surf is always in at Betelnut Café. C/R/G-2 Nov. 11

Tropical Bale has re-opened on Jln. Sanggingan, Ubud [opposite Uma Hotel]. It still has

the same layout but with different owners, chef and menu. They only thing that was kept was the name! It is now a totally local Balinese operation the menu mixing local favourites with International dishes, but all at budget prices. Not a bad formula when situated just outside of a 5 star hotel. Beetroot Salads with feta and red wine vinaigrette, Thai Beef with coriander, basil and cucumber, and a Salad of shaved fennel with orange, olives and star anis dressing are all fairly healthy. Pizzas [with prawns or vegetarian] and Pasta [Spaghetti Matriciana or Linguine Marinara] are joined on a typical tourist menu with hamburgers, jumbo hot dogs, ribs and steak grilled [local or imported sirloin] or in a sandwich with mushrooms, between slices of ciabatta.

Country Club Waroeng is new in Sanur. Found in Jln. Danau Tandakan, next door to the ever-popular Kayumanis restaurant. It is simple and friendly, and already enjoys a steady clientele all day. They offer mainly local cuisine, with a few foreign items thrown in and all at budget prices. Fish or Shrimp Cakes, Green Mango Salad, the eternal Shrimp Cocktail, Pepes Udang and Chicken with Mango. Chicken is done many different ways; curry, sweet and sour, lemon and black pepper. Stir fries can be Chilli Prawn, Pork & Ginger or Curried Seafood. There is even a local version of that Austrian special Chicken Schnitzel. La Creperie is in Jln. Batu Belig, Kerobokan, and produces true buckwheat flour [Galette] crepes as originated in Bretagne, France. They can be savoury or sweet and here you have a very wide choice. Many years ago I used to regularly enjoy my French buckwheat breakfast crepe at Panilli Vanilla in Ubud, sadly long gone. At La Creperie you can order La Lukas with ham, cheese and egg or the Super version with mushroom and tomato puree added. The Paysanne is stuffed with bacon, mushroom, parsley, cream and egg. There are Indian Crepes with tandoori chicken, Marocaine with minced beef, tomato, egg and ‘ras el hanout’ a blend of Moroccan spices. The Martabak is filled with marinated chicken, leek omelette and fried onions, Fromagere has three cheeses; emmental, mozzarella and roquefort. Open from 8.00 in the morning.

Kopi Bali House on The ByPass at the Blanjong end of Sanur has become a meeting place for local expats. Now a new branch has been opened on Jln. Monkey Forest in Ubud trying to catch the tourist market. Located underneath Coffee & Silver it is just after the monkey forest itself. Small and compact it looks as if it is just a coffee house but a full kitchen services it from behind and their full menu is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide range of dishes from just about everywhere. Cannelloni stuffed with chicken and spinach, Les Escargot in the style of mushrooms stuffed with a snail and parsley butter [memories from the old Café Warisan], a healthy Lentil Soup, the Indonesian Rawon or a hearty Goulash Soup. Burgers and Sandwiches [but served the European way on baguettes]. The popular Ayam Panggang is with a half chicken. Western mains include a Mexican style Chicken Breast or an Italian Saltimbocca [wrapped in beef bacon with melted cheese] and many pizza and pasta dishes. Warung Tekko is Bali’s first Ribs Palace! Only beef though, not pork, as this is another Jakarta operation so 100% Halal. They are located on the site of the long gone failed OZIGO Country & Western Bar on Jln. Moh. Yemin, Renon. They claim to offer 600gm of BBQ Back Ribs of imported US Angus beef [Konro Bakar Saus Madu] for Rp,49,000, which really makes you wonder? The alternatives are all BBQ Beef Short Ribs, done many different ways; Penyet [with smashed red jalapeno], Bakar Bumbu Kacang [on a hot plate with a cashew peanut butter sauce, also available with chicken instead of ribs], Iga + Otot Penyet [with deep-fried beef tendon added], Goreng Tepung [in crispy form] and as a soup with green onions and lemon. Babat Penyet is fried Ox Tail stomach with red jalapeno and garlic and Bebek Bacem Sambal is fried marinated duck with a VERY hot sauce! Large array of vegetarian dishes, many served on hot plates. Tekko is very busy for lunch, having already won over the Denpasar working market. Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

BICYCLE RIDING ON BALI By Tara Khandro

Bicycling has been an integral part of my life as recreation, sport (training with my Olympic biking buddies) transportation and even a livelihood-as bike messenger in Chicago-since I was 8 years old. A midnight blue Huffy bicycle was my life’s first major purchase. My Dad became my first employer as he paid me to take off bagworms from evergreen trees, cut the grass, and clean his workroom. He also taught me the power of visualizing my desire into actualization. Dad secured a magazine page advertisement for the Huffy bike onto the ceiling above my bed. It was the last thing I saw before I went to sleep and the first thing that I saw when I arose to a new day. With the ecstatic power of achievement I walked into the Danville, Indiana bike shop, traded my fistful of dollars for the Huffy and rode away on my new shiny one speed steed. I was reminded of that first bike when I accompanied Bagio who owns Banyan Tree Bike Tours in Sayan and his 8 year old son Yogi on a ‘Fun Bike Cross Country Tour’ organized by Banjar Samu on a gorgeous Sunday Bali morning. Hundreds of Balinese of all ages and riding levels gathered at the starting gate as Cokorda Ardana Sukawati, a member of the Ubud Royal family, waved the black and white checkered flag to officially open the event. The fun tour included routes for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders. Bagio and I chose the 18km advanced tour, leading us along rugged dirt jungle trails, through rice paddies, village roads with no traffic and main roads leading through Bandung and Gianyar. A 15,000 rupia ticket earned an entry into a raffle with prizes such as cell phones and bicycles. The grand prize was a Yamaha Mio donated by Waja Motor. I met Suara Cita as we deposited our tickets in the raffle box. I asked him if he was a veteran bicycle rider or a beginner: “I have been riding a bike for 9 years’, he proudly declares. “I like to ride a bicycle because it is fun and it eases my stress. I like to come to these events because I meet friends and establish relationships. Maybe your ticket is a lucky number!” My ticket not so lucky, yet Suara’s number gifted him with a new cell phone. The past two years has seen an increase in the numbers of Balinese youth and adults riding bikes on the island. Marde Sumardi owns Wim Cycle in Peliatan. He said that in the past 8 months sales have increased: “More people want to ride bikes to be with friends, to have fun and to improve their health.” Bike riding is a flat out fun holistic form of exercise as biking uses every part of the body. Cycling is an inexpensive, noncompetitive activity that increases cardio vascular health, improves muscle tone, eats up calories, builds stamina, flexibility and coordination, releases stress, and improves mental acuity. During the Sunday Fun Tour, as we were riding on narrow rice paddy trails, my concentration swayed when I heard an inner voice say to me, “You are dehydrated.” In that moment I lost control of the bike and fell head first in an irrigation ditch. As I sat in the ditch and watched the stream of riders flow past me a few voices queried: “What are you doing down there?” Marde feels that “Bicycle riding has many benefits. One of them is that bikes do not pollute the air.” Marde employs 6 men in his busy bike shop that sells new and used bikes, repairs bikes and makes custom mountain bikes from old bikes. The shop also sells new bikes for children from ages 2-6. A new adult bike at Wim Cycle can cost 500,000-1,500,000. Marde rides with his family at least once a week. Sometimes he rides to Peliatan from his home in Blahbatuh, and his favorite route is up to Bangli. Many resident expats ride bicycles as transportation in Ubud while others who love bike riding find the experience on Bali, with the packed, narrow roads harrowing. The few times I rented

a bicycle for a day I made it out on the roads before the motorbike mayhem started and had an easy, breezy ride. Although I am one to explore new ground, I found it challenging to find lesser traveled roads without a map or a guide. My experience of bike riding on Bali expanded when I received a bike tour for two with Banyan Tree Bike Tours as a prize for my poem in the 2010 Ubud Readers and Writers Festival Poetry Slam.

and have two tours a day.” All tour companies pick riders up at their hotel in Nusa Dua, Kuta, Jimbaran, Seminyak, Sanur and Ubud. They all provide insurance, helmets, lunch and plenty of water. I met the Bali Bintang van at the Ubud Palace and we headed up to Kintamani. Before reaching Kintamani we stopped at a small plantation that grows coffee, chocolate, spices, fruits and medicinal herbs. We then were offered free tastings of coffee, chocolate, ginseng, rosella, and ginger tea. Before we set out on our bike trek we relaxed at a restaurant overlooking Lake Batur, and munched on pisang goreng (fried bananas). A word of guidance: Before you embark on a steep downhill bike ride make sure that your brakes work. Our guide did not make this check, nor did I think to do it, as I trusted the company to have prepared the bikes. Once we started downhill, each of us realized our brakes were loose. My front wheel was wobbly which did not make me feel secure. Ponee, our guide switched bikes with me and he rode the bike for the entire route. Ponee was an excellent, caring guide, providing us with signals for holes, when to turn left and right, and when we were approaching a steep descent or incline. This is a tour that all levels of riders will enjoy, even children.

Banyan Tree Bike Tours (recommended by Lonely Planet) arose from Bagio’s desire to create a business where he could spend more time with his family. “When I left the cruise company I sold tickets to the Legong and Kecak dances. I was also a driver. When I did this I asked people how and what they wanted to experience about Bali. People responded that they wanted to experience the nature of daily life. I used to ride my bicycle from Sayan to Denpasar to university from 1987-1990 where I was enrolled to study to be a Senior High School teacher. I used a small racing bike so I got to know all of the shortcuts.” My friend Liz and I embarked on an intermediate level bike tour with Bagio, taking us from Pecang near Mt. Batukaru (where we had an organic breakfast) finishing up with a traditional organic Balinese meal at Bagio’s family compound in Sayan. Five knowledgeable, attentive and fit guides accompanied 14 cyclists on a spectacular 4 hour tour through Bandung and Gianyar regencies. “It took us a long time to find these routes. We just set out on our bikes and started at 6 different locations and talked with the people in the villages.” Bagio tells me.

The first stop we made was at a village school where we observed 9 year old boys and girls learning math and 6 year olds learning Balinese. Shortly thereafter we stopped at a family compound. The remainder of the tour we were free to take our time and stop when we wanted. The route did not take us through rice fields or on off road trails, rather through villages and back roads and on only two short steep hills. In several villages different kinds of ceremonies were taking place and we stopped to feel, breathe and partake. The final 15 km from the giant banyan tree on the Tampaksiring road to the ending at Wayan’s family compound for lunch in Pejeng was astounding. I asked Ponee if he paid the villages to hide their roosters, chickens, dogs, children, women carrying loads on their heads and motorbikes. The roads were literally empty. When we arrived at the compound we were given cold wet towels, more water and a delicious traditional lunch. For me the best soto ayam I have ever tasted.

The route takes us on little traveled roads with very few motorized vehicles, through rice fields and small villages, down and up steep hills and over a river. We stop at a temple with a 200 year old Banyan tree and take a rest at a magnificent irrigation system dam where we meet a few termites and learn about their life. At the dam the guides offer us bananas to replenish our potassium. Three vans follow the group, providing assistance and plenty of water. We leave the dam by walking and sometimes carrying our bikes up a long and gradual incline leading towards a road. We emerge onto a vast stretch of empty pavement where marigolds and patchouli flowers wave to us from emerald green rice fields. This leg of the trip is truly inspiring as each of us are able to experience riding for a few kilometers at our own pace, relaxing into the brilliance of Nature. The tour also includes a stop at a family compound where we discover the meaning of its design. We also witness cock fight training, and are introduced to coffee and cacao trees, spices and medicinal plants. Sobek Bali- Adventures of Sayan was the first bike tour company on Bali, opening in 1989. Now there are 26 bike tour companies. Each company, except for Trailblazers who offers off road mountain bike adventures, provides tour participants with an introduction to Balinese daily life and natural agriculture. Bike tours travel through Bandung, Tabanan, and Gianyar and Karangasem regencies. I accompanied an Egyptian couple on their honeymoon for a 40k ride from Kintamani to Pejeng with Bali Bintang Tour (also recommended by Lonely Planet). The owner of Bali Bintang, Wayan Augus Darmade started the company 15 years ago at the suggestion of an Australian friend. “Bintang became the third bike company on the island. For two years after the Bali bombing, we had very little business. Now we have 150 bikes

In February 2012 the Governor of Bali invited the owners of all 26 bike companies to a meeting in Gianyar.

DVD Young Adult When a lazy novelist, who specializes in the genre of ‘Young Adult’ fiction, learns that her old high school sweetheart is now married and has a baby, she decides to make a sentimental journey back to her hometown. There she is to discover that she was not the most popular girl in school that she thought she was. Jason Reitman directs this refreshing adult comedy, and his leading lady, Charlize Theron, is just amazing. Charlize is slovenly, sleeps all day, occasionally taps out a sentence on her computer, and lives on Diet Coke and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Charlize is absolutely charming in the movie. The Grey During a blizzard an airplane crashes in the remote wilderness of Alaska. Injured, freezing cold, and ravenously hungry, the survivors, a group of oil-rig roughnecks, decide that the only way to stay alive is to trek to safety across the sub-arctic tundra. As they trudge through the sleet and snow, they are relentlessly pursued by a pack of vicious wolves. This might sound like a grisly slasher ‘flick’, but, director Bryan Gunnar Cole and his cast, which includes Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney, present some very interesting concepts on life and death and survival. Yet, the most outstanding feature of the movie is the exceptional cinematography by Masanobu Takayanagi. My Week with Marilyn Michelle Williams’ performance in this movie brings to mind an anecdote concerning the legendary screen actress Greta Garbo. When preparing for her famous close-up at the conclusion of the film ‘Queen Christina’ (1933), Garbo was to ask her director Rouben Mamoulian what was her motivation. “What am I thinking”? Mamoulian’s direction was to “think of nothing, the audience will read into it what they want”. In the movie ‘My Week with Marilyn’, Michelle Williams also follows this advise, for, although she looks and sounds like Marilyn Monroe, Michelle Williams basically presents us with a blank canvas on which we can place our own interpretation of that legendary screen actress. Set in 1956, Marilyn is in England to make the film ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’. Daunted by working with an esteemed British cast and crew, Marilyn confides all of her anxieties to a 3rd assistant director, who promptly falls in love with her. Meanwhile, all of Marilyn’s insecurities, addictions, and blatant tardiness are to drive her director and co-star, Sir Laurence Olivier, completely crazy. Still, by the end of shooting, even the great Olivier has to admit that Marilyn knows a few things more about screen acting than he does. The movie is quite slight, but, charming. However, what the movie succeeds most in doing is to make you want to watch ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ all over again. If you are lucky enough to have a copy of the 1957 movie, based on a stage play by Terence Rattigan, you will know that it is still delightful some 55 years further on. The Deep Blue Sea The original version of this movie was made in 1955. It was also based on a stage play by Terence Rattigan, but, this is a story which completely fails to stand the test of time. Still set in London in the 1950s, an upper-crust woman leaves her titled husband to live in a squalid bed-sit with her rakish playboy lover. All the carryings on over this immoral tryst seem out of date in this day and age. The original film starred Vivien Leigh, and who would want to compete with that legendary screen actress? Rachel Weisz doesn’t even bother. Ms. Weisz would probably prefer it if we all try to forget this film. Straw Dogs The original version of this movie was made in 1971. For some inexplicable reason a group of red-necks terrorize a married couple who have just moved into a small, out of

Footloose The original version of this movie was made in 1984. It was silly then, and it’s still silly now. However, the original movie proved to be a huge popular success, and it made a star of Kevin Bacon. A free-spirited teenager fights with a narrow-minded preacher in a small town where rock ‘n’ roll and dancing have been made illegal. All the terrific Hollywood-style production numbers have been replaced in this re-make with ‘Hip-Hop’ dance routines. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo The original version of this movie was made in 2009. Why does Hollywood feel that it has to re-make successful European films in English? Could it be that Americans won’t read subtitles? Anyway, if you are really interested in this story about a journalist and a computer hacker investigating the strange disappearance of a woman from a wealthy family, then get a print of the original Swedish version. Many copies of that DVD are still on the shelves. In the Land of Blood and Honey Occurring in the Bosnian War, a Muslim woman finds herself at the mercy of a Serb military officer. Writer, producer, and director Angelina Jolie is so desperate for audiences to take her feminist film seriously, that she fails to see that she has made a very old-fashioned and extremely tedious movie.

By Captain Su

2012-A Big Year for Sailing in Indonesia “From little things, big things grow”. Paul Kelly Australian Singer/Songwriter. 2012 is shaping up as the biggest year yet for sailing in Indonesia. Despite the worlds’economic gloom and doom more and more yachties are choosing a sail through Indonesia as an item on their must do lists. And it is no wonder with the number of events being planned. Next month is the Back to Down Under Rally 2012. In July is the start of this year’s Sail Indonesia 2012 Rally which has over 100 yachts participating in the biggest sailing event in Asia. Also in July, in neighbouring Timor – Leste is the 2012 Darwin to Dili Yacht Rally which has a prize pool of US15000. In September there are two events being put forward, Sail Morotai 2012 being organised from Jakarta and Sail Takabonerate 2012, a local government initiative. While all this is going there is a lot of planning being done for next year’s Welcome Indonesia – Fremantle to Bali 2013 Ocean Race and Rally as reported in the last month’s From the Sea article. (see Bali Advertiser - 22 February) All this activity has grown exponentially over the last 10 years or so out of some intrepid yachties that started racing and rallying out of Darwin to Ambon, to Dili and to Kupang and other Indonesians destinations. As the Australian muso Paul Kelly sang, “From little things big things grow.” Back to Down Under Rally 2012 This rally is for those Australian yachts that joined in last year ’s Sail Indonesia 2011 Rally and after some post rally sailing are ready to return to their home ports. The event starts in April in the wonderful Sabah at Tarkan and then proceeds through northern Indonesia stopping along the way at some rarely visited locations including Sitaro, Morotai, Jailolo – W. Halmahera, Ternate City, Tidore, Gura Ici Island and Labuha where the route splits with some yachts heading to Biak in West Papua while others head to Darwin via Saumlaki. Reading about it makes you want to hitch a ride and join in the fun. Imagine sailing a passage knowing that when you drop anchor at some rarely visited anchorage that you will be greeted by a smiling face and then be ask to participate in a range of pre organised cultural events. Most cruisers sail alone or with a sailing buddy. Joining in this rally takes a lot of the stress out of cruising. Like trying to figure out where it is safe to drop the anchor and in a spot of seabed that won’t jack off the locals. If you know that when you arrive at your intended anchorage someone in a boat will guide you to a perfect anchoring spot and that the locals will welcome you then that is the best of all worlds. Sail Indonesia Partners Falling Out The two key players in organising, promoting and running the annual Sail Indonesia Rally are the Darwin based Sail Indonesia (see www. sailiindonesia.net ) and the Indonesian

based charity group Yayasan Cinta Bahari Indonesia (YCBI). These two have had a big falling out which has resulted in YCBI pulling out of the Sail Indonesia 2012 event and setting up a breakaway Sail to Indonesia Rally. (see www.sailtoindonesia.com) Cok Dewi from YCBI announced on her Facebook page, “Dear Friends this year I am not going to get involve (sic) in Sail Indonesia 2012 caused many reason... so sad. The “big guys” take over our event we need help.” This means that the event has lost one of its biggest attractions as YCBI’s role was to meet and greet yachties at each anchorage and provide the critical liaison between the fleet and local communities. As one participant said of Dewi, “While your country is full of smiling people, one of the smiles that will stay with us for a long time is yours! Coming ashore at each rally event location and finding your smiling face in the crowd, was delightful. Your smile will remain one of our strongest memories of Indonesia.” (sv Greenghost). The meet and greet function will now be taken over by a Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) representative who will accompany the fleet. Sail Morotai 2012 In a move to boost the economy of the outlying islands, the President of Indonesia S u s i l o Bambang Yu d h o y o n o i s s p e a r h e a d i n g t h e development of North Maluku, in particular, the island of Morotai. It is his vision to put Morotai on the map for the world to see that it is the gateway into Indonesia from the Pacific Ocean. And being close to East Asia, Morotai can be a part of the economic movement in the Asia Pacific Region. A Master plan from Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister is now in place to develop the island as a fishery, tourist, trade and services centre. As part of this plan, Sail Morotai 2012 is organized and will be the main maritime event for this year’s Sail Indonesia rally. Morotai is the northernmost island of Eastern Indonesia, in the province of North Maluku. The rugged and forested island has an area of some 1,800 square kilometres (690 sqmi), stretching 80 kilometres (50 mi) north-south and no more than 42 kilometres (26 mi) wide.

Sail Indonesia 2012 Rally - Bali Stopover - Not Lovina The Bali stopover this year has been changed to Benoa and Serangan Island which is sure to cause great consternation to the Buleleng Regency officials who hosted last year’s stopover in Lovina. The stopover was according to a lot of people a great success. The local government pulled out all stops to welcome the 70 plus yachts that anchored in this delightful setting and really turned on the hospitality for the visiting yachties with welcome ceremonies, local tours, cooking classes, handicraft exhibitions and cultural displays.(see article in Bali Advertiser - From the Sea - 5 October 2011). At the time the Chief of Buleleng Regency Tourism Office, Drs. Putu Tastra Wijaya MM. said that, “We are happy that the yachts have come to Lovina and hope they and their family and friends come back to North Bali and enjoy our spectacular nature and beautiful scenery.” But as they say Lovina’s loss is Benoa / Serangan‘s gain. Happy Sailing...

The normal body temperature varies between about 36ºC and 37.4ºC. Different people may have slightly different normal temperatures, and each person’s normal body temperature will vary a little at different times of the day (up to 1ºC). Fever is when the temperature of the body rises above normal, generally above 38 degrees when the temperature is taken under the arm or in the mouth.

• • • • • •

What causes a fever? Fever is one of the ways that the body fights an infection. In children, most fevers are caused by viral infections. Most of these infections are not serious, even if the temperature is high for a short time (eg. over 40ºC). Some fevers are caused by bacterial infections, such as ear infections and tonsillitis, and sometimes children will become well more quickly if they have antibiotics for specific infections. In the tropics you must consider typhoid fever and dengue fever. Always consult your doctor if you are uncertain about the cause of a fever. It is common for young children to have many mild infections, which cause fevers – often 5 to 10 viral infections each year. This is just a part of growing up and building our immune systems.

What to do A fever by itself can cause a child or older person to feel unwell and tired and to have a headache. A fever by itself does not cause a health problem (the ‘problem’ is whatever has caused the fever). The main thing you can do for fever is to help your child feel better by comforting, holding, cuddling and soothing you child. • Cover the child in light clothing. (Not synthetic blankets, hats, mittens and booties!) • Extra drinks are needed. Water, diluted fruit juice or coconut water are excellent for rehydtration. • Tepid sponging or cool baths are not really effective. • Paracetamol or acetamenophine is often suggested if the fever is high (over 38.5ºC to 39ºC). This does not deal with the cause of the fever, but can help the child feel better and may bring the temperature down. Use the recommended dose for the brand of that you have. Paracetamol can be given every 4 hours, and no more than 5 times a day. Make sure your child gets plenty to drink while taking these medications.

How to take a temperature • Under the arms (axillary temperature) – this can be used for everyone, and is the safest way for young children. Place the thermometer high in the armpit and then place the arm down by the child’s side. Read the thermometer after 3 minutes, or follow the instructions that come with an electronic thermometer. • Mouth (oral temperature) – this can be used for many children over 5 years old, but for some, who can’t sit still for three minutes, it would still be best to take the temperature under the arm. Place the thermometer as far under the tongue as possible and get the child to keep his mouth closed around the thermometer. Read after 3 minutes (Do not take a child’s temperature this way if the child has recently had a cold drink or warm one). • Ear (tympanic temperature) – a special ear thermometer can be used, but this method has been found not to be as accurate as the under-arm or oral methods. These thermometers are expensive and they do not appear to be as reliable as simpler thermometers. • Forehead temperature – forehead temperature devices are more accurate than ear probes, and work very quickly so children need not stay still for long at all. They are expensive but a worthwhile investment. When to see your health advisor or doctor. Children with fevers are usually quieter and less active than usual. This is normal, you should see your doctor if you or your child: • has a high fever, for example over 40º or if the fever does not settle when you have given your child paracetamol. • is becoming more unwell and /or more difficult to wake up

has a rash or pale or blotchy skin is vomiting and has diarrhea more than a couple of times will not drink has cold hands and feet despite have a fever has pain. All babies under 12 months old with fever should be seen by a doctor.

NOTE: Never give aspirin to a child under the age of 16 years. It can cause a rare but very serious illness called Reye’s Syndrome. Febrile Convulsions or fits Some children under the age of 6 years have convulsions (fits) with high fevers. This is usually due to the temperature rising quickly, not the actual temperature that is reached. These are frightening to watch, but generally do not harm the child. This is not an indication that your child has epilepsy. It is important to have your child seen by a doctor to find out what has caused the fever.

Parasites - Deadly To Your Health! C/He/I-11 Jan 12

Most people may not be aware of the hidden dangers posed by parasites to your health, but from what I have seen parasite or worm infestations are increasingly common and yes they do lead to rather significant health problems. The word parasite comes from Greek meaning “one who eats off the table of another.” Parasites eat and live off the food we consume, even our health supplements. They leave us the scraps. They often make us feel that we are not getting the nutrition from our food or that something is wrong or missing. In “The Miami Herald” dateline June 25, 1978 an article appeared titled “Worms Outrank Cancer as Man’s Deadliest Enemy”. A quote from that article reads: “One of every four people in the world is infected with roundworms, which cause fever, cough and intestinal problems. A quarter of the world’s people have hookworms, which can cause anemia and abdominal pain. Another third of a billion people suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by whipworms.” It has been estimated that over 90% or more of the population has or will have been infected with these organisms during their lifetime. Many mainstream doctors are now agreeing with the growing incidence of this problem. In fact Dr Oz, of Oprah fame, was quoted as saying: “Ninety percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime.” I’m referring to hookworms, pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and countless other dangerous organisms. Take a look at the picture below: This is a large mass of ascaris lumbricoides (roundworms) that was passed from a person’s intestinal tract. It is indeed a scary thought to imagine these disgusting creatures inside your body. Ascaris is the most common human parasitic infection in the world, and affects about 4 million people in the U.S, according to Merck.com. The World Health Organization estimates that Ascaris infection causes about 60,000 deaths worldwide each year. This parasite is found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Roundworms can grow up to 16 inches long inside the intestine and can lay as many as 300,000 eggs in a single day. Once the larvae hatches it only takes about 2 months before they are reproducing like mad. Adult worms can live 1 to 2 years. Infection in humans follows the ingestion of the roundworm eggs that have contaminated foods or soil. After the eggs hatch in the small intestine, the young worms move through the intestinal wall to the liver, heart and lungs. Once in the lungs, the young worms lodge in the small blood vessels of the alveoli or air sacs. They can also migrate up the airway to the throat causing wheezing and coughing (cough up blood may occur). Symptoms may be similar to asthma or pneumonia. After the young worms have travelled through the lungs and up into the throat, they are swallowed and return to the small intestine where they mature and mate. Symptoms that may then occur include: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The worms can also block the gallbladder duct or the pancreatic duct, leading to inflammation in those organs.In severe infections large numbers of worms can cause fatigue, weight loss, malnutrition, severe abdominal pain and vomiting. In children, obstruction of the intestine by large masses of worms can be fatal, according to Stanford University. Intestinal twisting, rupturing of the intestine, or gangrene can occur. The heart may even be affected: Papadopoulos reported in “Cardiology of the Young” (2000) a severe case of cardiac tamponade and pericardial effusion in a child with ascariasis. Stephen B. Tatter, MD, PhD ( D e p t . N e u r o s u r g e r y, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Wake Forest University, Nth. Carolina, USA) reported two cases of suspected brain Ascaris lumbricoides infections. Ascariasis round worms exists worldwide and are believed to affect some 660 million people. This is an epidemic and a major threat to your health which cannot be ignored. Over 200 million people are infected with the helminth parasite schistosoma (seen above) with another 600 million people at risk. People become infected when they contact contaminated water sources. The parasite gains entry through the skin where it migrates to the liver tissue. In this disease liver failure occurs because the parasites release millions of eggs, which remain trapped in liver tissue causing extensive damage. The picture below demonstrates these eggs within the intestinal tract wall.

Chronic parasitic infections secreting low levels of toxins can create an extremely stressed immune system. When the immune system is stressed over a long period of time, it of course, becomes weak. When the immune system becomes weakened, our bodies become susceptible to infections of other kinds, including bacterial, viral and fungal infections. The result is an overload of organisms which overwhelm our immune system and body leading to a whole host of symptoms and signs, and possibly even to cancer. The results can be disastrous to your health. Remove Parasites In 3 Weeks I believe however that we can beat this parasitic invasion and we can combat this modern day epidemic of immense magnitude. However it is not a simple process- there is no 1 magic pill or drug that will do this for you, and the all-important first step is commence a strict parasite elimination diet immediately. A brief outline of this parasite elimination program is shown below: • Strict low carbohydrate and no sugar diet – this is critical and a must do. These organisms feed off and love sugar in any form, and that includes simple carbs like white rice, pasta, breads, cereals, fruits, etc. • Raw Garlic – a very potent parasite destroyer! • Daily Ozonated Water Drink – high potency ozonated water acts directly on your stomach and upper GI tract to kill parasites fast. • Coconut Oil – very high in lauric acid a natural anti-parasitic acid. • Whole Body Ozone (EBOO) – High Concentration – to effectively clean your blood and lymph system of these organisms. 3 treatments required. • Apple Cider Vinegar – increases stomach acid which is also an effective way to kill parasites that you ingest. Can also lead to parasite death in intestines. • Ozone Colonic Hydrotherapy – this is critical and is very important for removing the dead (and live) parasites and their eggs from your system. Without the ozone the colonic is very much less effective – the ozone supercharges this procedure and far more waste matter is removed during the therapy. There is more to this program than I have space for here, however even by following the above steps you will give yourself a good chance of eliminating parasites from your body effectively within 3 weeks.

the art of body What You Need To Know About Buying Sneakers…. If you’ve tried to buy a pair of athletic shoes recently, you probably realize that the canvas sneakers of the past have been replaced by high-tech, state-of-the-art athletic gear of the present and future. Consumers are faced with so many options that the task of choosing a pair of shoes has become increasingly complicated and confusing, not to mention expensive. By attaining a good working knowledge of athletic footwear, you will be less likely to fall for the latest gimmick or be coerced into spending above your budget. Know What You Need When shopping for athletic shoes, the most important step is deciding what sport you will be using them for. Most sporting goods stores carry a variety of shoes for activities such as running, walking, tennis, basketball and aerobics. Multi-purpose shoes such as cross trainers may be a good alternative for those who want to combine several sports or activities, such as bicycling and weight training, in a single workout. Once you have decided on the particular type of shoe you need, it is important to know how to get a good fit. Remember, no matter how popular a shoe is or how good it may look, it won’t do you any good if you have blisters after the first week of wearing it. Guidelines For Buying Shoes When purchasing shoes for a specific sport or fitness activity, you must consider your foot type. People with high-arched feet tend to require greater shock absorption than those with average feet. High-arched (cavus) feet also suffer from lateral instability and are more prone to ankle sprains. Conversely, people with low-arched (“flat”) feet require shoes with less cushioning but greater support and heel control. After considering the type of shoe needed for a particular activity and evaluating your needs based on your foot type, use the following information to ensure you get the best fit: ● ●

●

Choose an athletic-shoe store or specialty store with a large inventory. They will have a variety of sizes available. Try to get fitted for footwear at the end of the day, when foot size is at its maximum. It is not unusual for an individual’s foot to increase one-half a shoe size during the course of a single day. Allow 1/2 inch, or the width of your index finger, between the end of your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If one foot is larger than the other, buy the larger size. The shoe should be as wide as possible across the forefoot without allowing slippage in the heel. If the shoe has variable-width lacing, experiment with the narrow and wide eyelets to achieve a custom fit.

Some Final Considerations Athletic shoes no longer require a breaking-in period. However, they will lose their cushioning after three to six months of regular use. It is important to be aware of when your shoes need to be replaced because, if they are no longer absorbing the pounding and jarring action of the sport, you are more likely to sustain knee and ankle injuries. A final consideration when buying athletic shoes is price. It is possible to spend anywhere from Rp. 200.000 for no-name brands to more than Rp. 1.800.000 for Reebok’s or Nike’s latest technological wonder. Be sure to consider both your budget and your fitness needs before spending a small fortune on shoes. Finally, though purchasing may be a big investment, it is not a long-term one. If you spend a fortune on the latest style today, a new style will probably replace it tomorrow. It would be more practical, unless you are at a competitive level, to spend a reasonable amount and get the most for your money.

Local News HIV/AIDS Spreading in Indonesia at Worrying Rate: Official The rate at which HIV/AIDS is spreading in Indonesia is becoming increasingly worrying and needs to be reversed through concerted efforts by the government and society, a national AIDS eradication official said. Citing Health Ministry data, Dr Fonny Silfanus, vice secretary of the National AIDS Eradication Commission (KPAN), said by June 2011, the cumulative number of AIDS sufferers in the country had reached 26,483 and that of new HIV cases 66,693. “The rate at which the disease is spreading is a matter of increasing concern. The trend must be reversed through the concerted efforts of NGOs, the government and the clergy,” she said at the launching of a “Channel of Hope Module” to fight the deadly disease by World Vision International (WVI) here Wednesday. WVI`s regional manager for Java and Nias, Charles Sinaga, said on the occasion the module was launched as part of WVI`s efforts to encourage the handling of the HIV/AIDS problem by the country’s clergy. “The module aims to help the conveyance of the right information on HIV/AIDS to Muslim religious leaders to lessen the stigma and discrimination against people living

with HIV and AIDS,” he said. It was hoped the creation of a partnership between WVI and Muslim religious leaders in combating the disease would be an example to other countries of interfaith collaboration to tackle the problem, he said. A representative of the Muslim community, Syahrizal Syarif, an executive of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), said he appreciated the WVI`s initiative to forge a partnership to combat HIV/ AIDS. “NU appreciates the launching of the module because NU has since the beginning been very interested in and concerned about social issues. Let us cooperate in the best interest of the community,” he said. In the Channel of Hope module WVI would cooperate with INTERNA (Indonesian Interfaith Network on AIDS) in training Muslim facilitators. The training would be given in classes led by six trainers for 30 participants for 8 days. WVI is a Christian humanitarian organization striving to change the lives of children, families and community members living in poverty. (March 1st 2012)

Seven Hospitals Expected to be Internationally Accredited Seven state-owned A-class hospitals are expected to receive international accreditation by 2014. “In the health ministry’s strategic plan 2010-2014, one of the indicators that have to be met is at least five cities must have world-class hospitals,” the ministry’s Director General of Health Development Supriyantoro said on the sidelines of a workshop on International-Standard Hospital Accreditation, here, Monday. The seven hospitals are Cipto Mangunkusumo (Jakarta), Sanglah Denpasar (Bali), dr. Sardjito (Yogyakarta), Fatmawati (Jakarta), H. Adam Malik (Medan, North Sumatra), dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo (Makassar, South Sulawesi), and Army Hospital Gatot Subroto (Jakarta). “Hopefully, two hospitals will be internationally accredited by JCI in late 2012, and five more hospitals in 2013,” he said. The Joint Commission International (JCI) will judge the hospitals based among other things on the patient-centered services (hospital accreditation version 2012). The safety of patients is a main standard indicator in the judgment, paying attention to details of such as basic Surfers Honor Slain Boat Captain, Fallen Surfer Roughly 100 surfers gathered at Geger Beach in Nusa Dua on Sunday, March 11th, for a memorial paddle-out to honor Nusa Dua boat driver and surfer Made Purnabawa and French expat surfer Warrisse “Wally” Jean Claude, who both recently lost their lives in separate tragedies. Purnabawa, 27, his wife, Ni Luh Ayu Sri Mahayoni, 27, and daughter Ni Wayan Krisna Ayu Dewi, 9, were found dead after being reported missing in late February. According to the Jakarta Post, the family’s remains were discovered near Banjar Sumbul, Yehembang Kangin village in Jembrana, in a horrific case of murder that has stunned their quiet Nusa Dua community. Meanwhile, Jean Claude, the French surfer, was found dead in the lineup at Nusa Dua on the morning of March 7th. According to reports, Jean Claude hit his head on the reef during a wipeout and drowned after losing consciousness. The waves were reportedly 2 to 4 feet with occasionally larger sets. Local and visiting surfers honored the men and their families with a traditional paddle-out ceremony in the Nusa Dua lagoon during the afternoon high tide. The surfers shared stories and memories of Purnabawa and Jean Claude and brought flowers and leis to celebrate their lives. The paddle-out was organized by Mike O’Leary of the R.O.L.E Foundation.

hygiene and hand washing. One of the challenges in implementing the international standard procedures is how to change the mindset of hospital personnel, he said. Last February, Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih said in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, that only five out of 1,800 hospitals existing in Indonesia are currently accredited internationally, and all five are privately-owned. In remarks to open a congress and seminar of the Indonesian Professional Medical Recorders Association (PORMIKI), she said 65-66 percent of the 1,800 hospitals were nationally accredited and of the total number, one-third was privately owned. She said no public or state-owned hospital had so far been internationally accredited because they had not yet reached the required quality standards, including in medical record services. However the health ministry was now preparing seven state-owned hospitals to qualify for international accreditation, she said. (March 6th 2012) One Time Zone Could Be in Place by Independence Day, Official Declares The government has asked its institutions to start conducting simulations in preparation for the introduction of a single time zone for the entire country, with the target date for the move being Independence Day on Aug. 17. Edib Muslim, spokesman for the Indonesian Economic Development Committee (KP3EI), said that all of the ministries and institutions contacted responded in a positive way. “The decision to change the time zones will only need a presidential decision and does not need approval from the [House of Representatives],” Edib said. Edib announced that under the proposed plan, Indonesia would leave its triple-time zone division and become a single time zone at GMT+8. Indonesia’s current westernmost time zone is GMT+7, its central is GMT+8 and its easternmost is GMT+9. He said that the ministries and government institutions had each been asked to prepare “a simple model” for the conversion to the single time zone. Edib said that turning the country into a single time zone would lead to savings and better economic productivity. “This would have its benefits in an economy that is slipping because of [rising] fuel prices,” he said. Edib said the move to one time zone would eliminate problems arising from differences in business hours between the various zones in the country. (March 13th 2012)

Two Striptease Dancers Sentenced to One Year in Jail The district court in Padang, West Sumatra, has sentenced two girls to a year in jail for performing striptease dances at a cafe here in September last year. Silfi and Nofera, caught by city administration police officers while performing the dances, cried upon hearing the verdict. Without being accompanied by lawyers the two accepted the sentence and would not appeal it. “The defendants were proven to deliberately perform naked as models and objects before the public,” chief judge Asmar said. He said their action had disturbed the public and hurt the traditional values maintained in Minangkabau. The two have also been considered opposing the government’s efforts to five vices including pornography. “Factors in favor of them are the two have never been jailed and regretted their action,” judge Yoserizal said. The judges also said the two performed the dances to meet the request of Edi, Andre and someone whose identity was not yet known, in exchange for Rp. 1 million. The two confessed they were willing to perform the dances because they needed the money. Silfi needed the money to pay medical treatment for her illness while Nofera needed it to pay credit installment. (March 8th 2012) Hotel Association Suggests Govt Controls Tourist Flow to Bali Bali`s Chief of Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), Tjokorda Oka Arta Ardhana Sukawati, suggests that the government controls the number of tourists coming to Bali. “The development of tourism in Bali during the past few years has emphasized on quantity instead of the quality of tourists coming to the island,” he said. Tjokorda gave the example of cheap accommodation in Bali that attracts many tourists but, consequently, increases the density of population in the island. He said the large number of tourists coming to Bali also had a negative impact on the local culture. “People in Ubud (north of Bali), for example, can no longer conduct cultural activities such as Mapeed (walking together in a group) without being disturbed by the public transportation and private cars flocking the area,” he explained. He hoped that the government would give PHRI the authority to control the tariffs of star hotels in Bali. He also suggested that the government impose sanctions on hotels that do not meet the required standards. (March 7th 2012) Indonesian Boy, 8, Smokes 2 Packs of Cigarettes a Day An eight-year-old Indonesian boy reportedly smokes two packets of cigarettes a day and even gets angry if they are withheld from him. The country’s Child Protection Commission said that he highlights the government’s failure to regulate the tobacco industry. After food, cigarettes account for the second-largest household expenditure in the Southeast Asian country of 240 million people, where there is no minimum age for buying or smoking them. The boy’s father, a motorcycle taxi driver called Umar tells of his son’s smoking habits. “Ilham started smoking when he was four years old... his smoking habit grew day by day and now he can finish smoking two packs of cigarettes a day,” the Telegraph quoted him as telling an Indonesian news agency. Umar also revealed that the boy, who lives in a village in West Java provincial district of Sukabumi, would flare up in a rage and “smash glass windows or anything” if he was not given cigarettes. “He doesn’t want to go to school anymore. He spends his whole day smoking and playing,” he said. The government has increased excise taxes but prices remain extremely low by international standards, with a pack of 20 costing little more than a dollar. Indonesia’s Child Protection Commission chairman Arist Merdeka Sirait said the latest case further highlighted the government’s failure to regulate the industry. “This is yet another evidence showing the government has been defeated by the tobacco industry. “The growing number of smokers are a result of the industry’s aggressive marketing targeting young people,” Sirait said.The government makes about 7 billion dollars a year in excise taxes from the industry, which employs thousands of people on the island of Java. According to the World Health Organisation, smoking rates have risen six-fold in Indonesia over the last 40 years. Smoking kills at least 400,000 people in the country annually and another 25,000 die from passive smoking. (March 12th 2012)

Up to 20 kilograms of plastic was found in the stomach of a giraffe named Kliwon, who died in his stall in the Surabaya Zoo on Thursday (1/3) evening. “The plastic was apparently contained in the food he’d been eating for years and accumulated in his stomach,” Surabaya Zoo management team chief Tony Sumampaw said Friday. Tony said that according to the zoo medical team, the plastic had clogged Kliwon’s digestive system. The 21-year-old giraffe collapsed in his stall a day before his death. The giraffe keeper said that Kliwon had lost his appetite over the past few days. Tony said that the zoo could not afford to get another giraffe to replace Kliwon due to financial constraints. The 15-hectare zoo, which is one of the city’s tourism icons, houses 2,025 animals from 249 species. Many have said that the zoo is overpopulated. According to the zoo, 2,204 animals in the zoo died during the 2006 - 2011 period. (March 2nd 2012) Death Penalty on Table for Aussie in Bali Edward Myatt, 54, was arrested two weeks ago at Ngurah Rai airport after he was allegedly caught trying to smuggle 1.1kg of hashish and more than four grams of methamphetamines into Bali in his stomach. Police have now finished their preliminary investigations, confirming on Monday (12/3) the Victorian would face three charges, the most serious of which could put him in front of a firing squad. It is expected Myatt will be charged under three separate articles of Indonesia’s anti-drugs laws, including possession, importing and distributing narcotics. Bali police spokesman Hariadi said on Monday that Myatt had told investigators he bought the drugs, which have an estimated street value of $70,000, in Delhi from a man known as “Dr Steve” for about $1250. He then separated the drugs into smaller quantities and wrapped them in plastic at his hotel before continuing onto Bali. It is unclear when Myatt allegedly bought the drugs but police said he had been in Delhi since February 2 after traveling to India on a Virgin Atlantic flight from London’s Heathrow Airport. He was arrested in Bali on February 27 after arriving on a flight from Delhi via Bangkok. The Ballarat-born man has denied being part of a larger drug-smuggling network, telling police last week he had been working alone. But investigators remain unconvinced and are continuing to explore the possibility that Myatt was part of an organized operation, and may even have smuggled drugs into Bali in the past. “There’s such an indication that such a syndicate exists,” Hariadi said on Monday. “We’re still developing the case and gathering statements related to the evidence.” While Myatt was born in Ballarat, it is understood he has lived in the UK for a number of years. He has provided Bali police with addresses in Balwyn, Melbourne, and Yorkshire in England. Myatt holds an Australian and British passport and has been receiving consular assistance from both countries. If convicted, he faces a minimum of five years in jail, however similar cases in the recent past have produced far more severe outcomes. Sydney man Michael Sacatides was sentenced last year to 18 years in prison for attempting to smuggle of 1.7kg of methamphetamines, commonly known as ice, into Bali. He is being held at Bali’s Kerobokan jail, where a total of 12 Australians are housed, including the Gold Coast’s Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine. (March 13th 2012)

Indonesia’s Immigration Office Admits ‘Improper’ Treatment of Hollywood Actor in Bali Indonesia’s immigration office denied reports that one of its officer’s extorted Hollywood actor Taylor Kitsch during his recent visit to the country, but admitted that the officer’s treatment of the rising star was “improper.” The immigration office was under fire after Kitsch told a US talk show about his unpleasant encounter with an airport customs officer, describing how he had difficulties when he was trying to enter the country and how the officer asked for his iPhone as a bribe. Indonesia’s immigration office spokesman Maryoto Sumadi said on Tuesday that Kitsch (6/3) entered the country through Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport on Feb. 1, and that a special team from Jakarta had been dispatched to Bali to investigate the case. On Wednesday, Bali’s immigration office announced the team’s findings. “The officer in question denied the claim of extortion, saying the actor still had the iPhone,” the head of Bali’s immigration office, Ida Bagus Komang Adnyana, said in Denpasar. He identified the officer only as R.E., 29. Kitsch’s passport pages were full, leaving no space for another stamp. So, R.E. took Kitsch to a room where the actor showed his visa and said that he was in Indonesia to shoot his latest movie, Oliver Stone’s “Savages,” in East Nusa Tenggara. R.E. did not believe he was an actor, so Kitsch showed the trailer of “John Carter,” in which he starred, on his iPhone. “It was then R.E. commented that the actor had a nice i-Phone. He didn’t go further by asking for the phone, let alone extort [Kitsch],” Ida said. Ida admitted, however, that R.E.’s treatment of the actor was improper. “The dialogue shouldn’t have happened. It is not allowed under the code of ethics, especially considering the impact,” he said. Ida added R.E. was on leave for investigative purposes. R.E. will probably receive a sanction within the next few days, although it has yet to be decided what the sanction will be. Ida said Kitsch arrived in Bali on board a Singapore Airlines flight, and was in Indonesia from Feb. 1 to 11. Kitsch, 30, is best known for his portrayal of American football star Tim Riggins in the television series “Friday Night Lights.” (March 7th 2012) Indonesia’s Garuda Airline Named best in Customer Service Indonesia’s leading national carrier PT. Garuda Indonesia has been recognized as ‘Best International Airline’ in serving passengers, according to a recent independent survey of all major airlines throughout the world, a paper said here on Wednesday (7/3). The customer satisfaction survey, conducted by research company Roy Morgan, ranked Garuda Indonesia ahead of other leading airlines, such as Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Air New Zealand with 91 percent of the 3,943 respondents being “very satisfied” with the airline’s products and services. “We are thrilled to receive this award, as it endorses Garuda Indonesia’s transformation and progress toward becoming one of Asia’s leading airlines. This valuable recognition by our Australian customers motivates us even further to deliver the highest standards of service on the ground and in the air,” Bagus Y. Siregar, Garuda Indonesia’s senior general manager for Australia and the South West Pacific was quoted by the Jakarta Post as saying. The Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Award comes after a string of accolades, including the four-star rating by Skytrax, the global benchmark for airline service standards, in 2009. The leading Indonesian carrier was also named the World’s Most Improved Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards in Hamburg, and Asia’s leading service quality airline by the Center for Asia- Pacific Aviation (CAPA) in 2010. All awards recognize the success of Garuda Indonesia’s Qantum Leap program, which includes the revitalization of its existing fleet and the introduction of “The Garuda Indonesia Experience”, the carrier’s service concept that offers a uniquely Indonesian level of service both in-flight and on the ground.

Curves and Shapes: Who Says You Can’t Dress Beautifully? By Ima Deville

Ever had a hot flush when the fantastic pants you picked in XL did not go beyond your mid thigh? Ever had to seriously breathe in to try the funky little top that looks great on the mannequin in the window? Careful! This could lead to a panic attack when trying to take it off in the claustrophobic space of the fitting room. When this happens, do you just shove the garments in the arms of the sales girl and rush out of the shop swearing that the whole thing is so stupid? It is difficult, to say the least, to dress if you are not a size 8 or 10, especially in this country where all the girls seems to be amazingly slender and set a high standard in the eyes of men. Not fair? You shouldn’t despair. Don’t give up on dressing well because there are excellent shops with professional designers and trained staff who will help you to dress beautifully, feel better and regain confidence in your body. Swathe will do just that. This clothing company, started 5 years ago in Australia, currently has two shops, one on Jl Kerobokan #30C and another on Jl Hanuman #6 in Ubud. It is soon going to change its brand name to Voluptua to emphasize the idea that curves are sensual and beautiful. They talk about Shape Revolution, believe that every woman has a beautiful line and they aim to reveal it by designing clothes for all women from size 12-24. For the owner Tracey Burgess, dressing is clearly an art. Her designs are smart casual and designed to make you feel confident on all occasions, from the office to the opera. Each piece of Swathe range can be combined and layered with other Swathe garments for maximum versatility and to allow for some fun mixing and matching. Their most recent creation is the dress coat, a flexible and light garment that can be worn over all types of clothes, open or buttoned up. It elongates the figure and gives an elegant touch. Most women have a distorted idea of their body image that makes them unhappy. The vicious cycle starts with an exaggerated self - perception, leading to a bad self-esteem and to a bad projection of oneself. Women with curves easily feel defeated when shopping for clothes and some even prefer to neglect their looks. Swathe aims to dress women for emotional maturity. Women’s body changes in time because of having children, sedentary work or menopause and they need professional help to dress for their shape. The staff at Swathe is trained and does fittings for all individual customers. Tracey is generally at the shop but, she encourages customers to call her and arrange a time if you want her advice. She can reveal and explain dressing principles that most women, engulfed in their distorted perception, might not know. Are you an apple or a pear? When I first met Tracey and she looked at me and told me that I was definitely an apple, I wasn’t sure I understood her properly or, if I did, how to take it. There are five main shapes: Apple, Pear, Column, Cornet and Hourglass (like Marilyn Monroe!). An apple has average to large breasts and a fuller tummy shape and average or slender legs whilst a pear has curves below the hips with shorter legs. Apples therefore suit dark tops and lighter bottoms, with volumes applied to the bottom of the figure. Pears, on the other hand, suit close fitting clothes at the top and skirts with a focus at the bottom. If you want to learn more, go and visit Tracey. It’s fascinating! I had not previously realised that dressing well was similar to art appreciation. Where is the eye being led? This is what Swathe considers to be dressing for shape. So when you dress, be aware of where the eyes are directed and what effect the composition has on the overall figure. Accessories can do wonders too. A pearl lariat, that you can wear loose and long dangling or doubled and close to the neck will respectively elongate your bust by having the eyes slide down its line or enhance a long and elegant neck and bring out the facial features. Wow! So, ladies with curves, let’s stop covering and

start learning how to dress. Dressing affects the way you feel about yourself and it’s about time your wardrobe reflected who you are and had a common language to feel and look good in every occasion. (www.swathe.net) Bali Black Orchid is a Plus Size Fashion Boutique on Jl. Legian Kaja No. 456. They have a good range of classic and modern clothing modified to suit the demographics of their clientele. Generally their customers are in the late 20’s to 65+ but they do not have boundaries. They have classic designs, loose fitting items in light materials for the hot climate and original patterns and colours to suit all tastes. They do have a good selection of smart dresses, shirts and tops. Flexibility and excellent customer service are the main assets of this shop. Their second priority is quality control and they always use first grade fabrics, all pre-washed. They cater for sizes 8 to about 26 and have many models and styles in stock. Clients can modify and change the clothes to their own liking or add a personal touch. They can also bring their own garments to be copied at an extra cost. Black Orchid is renowned for having staff looking after customers particularly well. The atmosphere is non intrusive and one feels comfortable in the shop. Still at Black Orchid, you will find BOOTIFUL Swimwear, a new range created out of the personal frustration from the Australian designer who was exasperated not being able to find funky and functional large size swimwear. They have bikinis, tankinis, swim shorts and one pieces, all sold separately in sizes 14 – 28, D to G Cups, depending on style. They have 19 different style/colour combinations. The Tankini is their best seller, especially in the animal print (up to size 28). For the more voluptuous woman, this is the most comfortable and flattering swimsuit. The wide over the shoulder straps, low scoop back and flattering round neckline give comfort but style. You can couple this top with swim shorts, perfect for in between waxing days, the string bikini, the full bikini, or the swim skirt. The underwire bikini is in a halter neck to give large and more mature breasts a wonderful cleavage. Their bikini full bottoms have double fabric across the tummy region for good hold. The string bikini is more minimal so best for the smaller framed girl with large breasts who wants maximum tanning. Their one piece racer back is perfect for light pool exercise as it gives a great support without the need for underwire or moulded cups. BOOTIFUL Swimwear can also be purchased online (www.bootifulswimwear.com). Inti-A Boutique on Jl Tamblingan in Sanur and on Jl Raya Seminyak #11 is not a large size clothing specialist but several of their clothes are ample and have a wide floaty cuts that would suit ladies with fuller bodies. Beautiful tropical silk kaftans and resort wear blouses to wear over swimwear are pleasant to wear and they come in plain or intricate designs. Animale, Io and Co and Jacques Ruc are all brands that can cater for larger sizes, number 5 in their collections. They use a blend of high quality natural fibres including cotton, linen and a focus on modern layers. They are popular in Europe, especially in France, because they are stylish but comfortable. They usually have two collections a year and various models to

choose from. Colours tend to be natural tones and some of the materials offer attractive new textures. Several shops are dotted around the island, in all main tourist areas. Sales are worth a detour to grab great bargains. The large store on Jl Sunset has a large stock of discounted items and the two storey Animal factory outlet on Jl Raya Kuta #82 is a must. Animale has a new flagship store on Jl Oberoi, opened from 9am to 12 pm every day. If you are looking for unique clothes with a definite Asian style, visit Meng, at Paul’s Place on Jl. Laksmana #4A. They sell various models of kimono inspired garments, simple cut tops with original overlaps, loose dresses and shirts in large sizes. The designs of their cotton or silk have a Chinese, Japanese or Indonesian touch with a focus on calligraphy, bamboos, traditional batik patterns and tropical leaves or flowers. They also sell furniture and home deco. Innuendo is a long time favourite for ladies who enjoy the timeless elegance of her range. Catherine the designer and her well-trained staff can cater for any size from her collection of clothes in store. Innuendo’s clothes tend to be upmarket and they will suit women looking for urban outfits to wear back home whether they live in Singapore, Sydney or Paris. The materials used are luxurious but totally natural, no synthetics. Innuendo has a shop on Jl Raya Seminyak #75H, another on Jl Laksmana and an outlet store Jl. Raya Kerobokan #47 where you can grab clothes from past collections at a bargain. Divine Divas is well known in Bali and they have sizes up to XXXL. Their style is casual, not so structured resort wear, made with pleasant and light materials such as cotton, chiffon, rayon and silk. They now have men and kids’ clothes but the bulk of their collection is for women. They use fresh colours such as aqua, soft purple, light grey, beige but also have brighter reds and blacks. Their tops tend to have ample cuts, wide décolleté and V cut that elongate the bust. Some of their most popular items are kaftans and stretch ¾ pants. They have a section in their shop of original white blouses and tops that can combine with just about anything. You can also find some more sophisticated pieces with stones to make you shine in the evening. To match the clothing, they have a selection of accessories and sandals. Their shops are on Jl. Laksmana 1A and on Jl. Raya Seminyak and their clothes also sell at Cocorose and Savvy Chic in Oberoi (www.divinedivabali.com).

Banking on it Janet DeNeefe, doyenne of dinners and instigator of that annual Ubud fixture, the writers’ and readers’ festival, has been busy lately. That was in Melbourne, where she did a stint demonstrating the cuisine of Bali to residents of that alternatively cold, hot, wet, dry city at the southern extremity of continental Australia. (Only Tasmania, where the Southern Ocean winds truly find an edge and evoke the true ambiance of Europe, is closer to Antarctica. It’s a lovely island; really. The Diary spent two years there long ago). But we digress. DeNeefe’s culinary exemplars teased taste buds in suburban Hawthorn – not the Diary’s preferred footy suburb: we barrack for St Kilda – over a series of evenings this month, in aid of promoting Bali and DeNeefe’s latest cookbook. That’s all to the good. It will have had its spinoff in favour of this year’s UWRF, the eighth, from October 3-7. DeNeefe said of her Melbourne culinary enterprise: “I want to highlight the majesty of Indonesian food in all its glory. I will be featuring dishes from all over the archipelago, spotlighting elegant curries, golden seafood broths, wok-tossed greens, banana-leaf specials, sambals and an array of traditional and contemporary desserts.” Her food nights were staged at Wantilan Balinese Restaurant. Hopefully DeNeefe found some elegant curry-eaters to sample her elegant curries. This year’s festival theme, announced with a flourish this month, is This Earth of Mankind: Bumi Manusia, from the title of a work by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, regarded as one of Indonesia’s greatest contemporary writers. It was the first book in Pramoedya’s historical fiction trilogy, The Buru Quartet, first published in 1980. Pramoedya died in 2005. The story is set at the end of the Dutch colonial rule and was written while Pramoedya was a political prisoner on the island prison of Buru in eastern Indonesia. His life there was one of deprivation, hard labour and physical cruelty. Denied even the most rudimentary writing implements, he got around this obstacle by narrating the work to his fellow prisoners, who shared it around the prison. The work was maintained and kept until eventually Pramoedya was allowed to write. The narrator in the book, Minke, wishes to be a writer. He is told: “Write always about humanity, humanity’s life, not humanity’s death. Yes, whether it’s animals, ogres, gods, or ghosts that you present, there’s nothing more difficult to understand than humanity. That’s why there is no end to the telling of stories on this earth.” That’s sound advice. Here’s some more, from another Pramoedya work: “It is really surprising sometimes how a prohibition seems to exist solely in order to be violated. And when I disobeyed I felt that what I did was pleasurable. For children such as I at that time – oh, how many prohibitions and restrictions were heaped on our heads! Yes, it was as though the whole world was watching us, bent on forbidding whatever we did and whatever we wanted. Inevitably we children felt that this world was really intended only for adults.” Pramoedya is referring to children. But the prohibition on prohibition that he implies should be mandatory is no less valid more widely, and should be insisted on for governments whose grasp of democracy extends only to acceptance of their own official truth. Last year’s UWRF was sponsored by leading Australian bank ANZ, which owns Panin Bank locally. Hopefully the 2012 festival will benefit from that sponsorship, renewed.

Nyepi Non-Silence Silent Day, the annual 6am-6am Balinese Hindu seclusion that shuts the island down, falls on a Friday this year (it’s on March 23). Because Friday is the Muslim day of prayer, the authorities have agreed that Muslims may leave their houses to walk to prayers at the nearest mosque. This is a fair concession and should be applauded for several reasons. The first and most important reason is that it recognises that Bali is not exclusively Hindu. It has never been so, of course, but in the distant past the numbers who followed other religions were tiny. Not so nowadays. The importance of the day to practising Hindus (and to local communities who traditionally mark the day in significantly varied ways) cannot be gainsaid, should never be, and must be protected by law. But it is time symbolic restrictions were confined to traditional practices: there is no reason to blackout broadcasting for example. And there’s a further issue,

given the precedent set for Friday prayers: If Nyepi falls on a Sunday, Christians should be granted the same concession.

NEDERLANDSE BORREL OP BALI (NOB)

Not so Mobil Once, as they say, is a misfortune. Twice looks likely to set a trend. And thrice definitively establishes this. Diary and Distaff have now three times tried to buy a car – a mobil in these parts – from the Suzuki distributor here, PT Indo Bali. On each occasion, deal done except for the final signature, these fine sellers of motor vehicles have dealt themselves out of the game by failing to provide a test-drive vehicle, finding an eleventh-hour reason to demand more money, or refusing to hold the nominated vehicle pending final payment. We had been unwilling this time to venture into the premises on Imam Bonjol in Denpasar where these reluctant salespeople are to be found. But our attempt to acquire our chosen vehicle from a new dealer on the by-pass at Jimbaran failed when that was too hard for them too and they flick-passed us onto PT Indo Bali. It’s a shame, because Suzukis are fine vehicles. But we’ve had it. We’ll buy another make from some outfit that actually closes deals.

Het is een vrijblijvende bijeenkomst, wij vragen geen entree geld, geen lidmaatschap!

Open Arms We hear that a new watering hole has opened in Banjar Anyar, on the northern extremity of the KLS traffic snarl. It’s the Plumbers Arms, which is trading without benefit of the singular or plural possessive in the ungrammatical way of the modern world. It is billed as an English pub and is the latest venture by that peripatetic Anglo-Australian couple, Nigel and Jacky Ames, who do all sorts of other things around Bali and in the Gilis off Lombok. We wish them good fortune with the new enterprise. Presumably they’re chilling that awful English beer. We would have inquired about that, except we did ask about the opening and heard nothing back. Perhaps all that hot froth got in the way.

Mangoland Rules! There’s an election in the Australian state of Queensland on Saturday (March 24). This is a matter of decidedly finite importance to anyone outside Queensland – the northeastern third of the Australian continent – unless they are former residents; or perhaps for readers of lately published satirical novels. Ross Fitzgerald, a professorial type well known to Hector – he’s also a frequent Bali sojourner and will be here again in June – has written a book, Fools’ Paradise: Life in an Altered State, which is about an election in the fictional state of Mangoland. For those who do not know, Queensland produces a lot of mangoes. Fitzgerald, who wrote the book with Trevor Jordan, is a historian and Mangoland aka Queensland is a rich field for anyone interested in examining the venalities of politics. It’s a readable yarn, except that – irritatingly – it uses discrete (meaning severally) for discreet (which among other things means don’t get caught). Never mind; this is after all the post-literate age. The book – dedicated thus, “For all the fools we have known, including ourselves” – is published by Arcadia, an imprint of Melbourne publisher Australian Scholarly Books. Fitzgerald has written several books, including Under the Influence: A History of Alcohol in Australia.

Corked Out A kind friend, possibly mindful of the conditions endured by drinkers of alcohol in these parts – it is haram to the majority of Indonesians after all – sent Hector this little thought the other day: “Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.” Quite so; it’s no wonder all those earnest seminars and conferences, locally and globally, seem to have difficulty fixing anything other than the date of their next gabfest. But our problem in Bali is of a different kind. Given the price of the fermented product of the grape hereabouts, few people can come up with a second bottle of wine.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Business Owners: Check your Drivers Dear Sir, I am writing to the owners and managers of businesses that have cars and trucks with their business names printed on the side or back. Do you know that your business may lose customers if one of your drivers is an aggressive dangerous driver? Yes, people are not happy to be cut off or endangered by the cars and trucks of businesses here in Bali. Here are a few instances of my own to report. I will not name the business directly but you can ‘read between the lines’ and figure out the business I am referring to. Most of these take place on the by pass: A car from a meat processing company was weaving in and out of traffic. ‘Mama’ they were really burning those burgers. Another day a car from an international yayasan was going way to fast for safety. ‘Eye’ could see they must have a ‘faucet’ for all the petrol they use. An Innova returning from the airport must have been late to pick up his girl friend Maya in Ubud as he was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic. Maya here I come! Well, I hope you get the message. If your business has its’ name on a car or truck then you should make sure the driver is driving safely. If not, then you will lose: either your vehicle will be in an accident or people will not use your business because they are not happy with your drivers. A. Driver, Sanur

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Nyepi is almost here – should I prepare or should I get outta here??

Nyepi, Bali’s famous day of silence is around the corner and many people ask me what it’s like to be in Bali for this special occasion. A simple answer would have to be ‘magical’, simply because this is the one day when Bali really calms down: nobody is allowed to leave their houses, make any noise, turn on any lights, and even the airport is closed: a pleasant relief from traffic jams, pollution and overwhelming business. From the break of dawn on Nyepi, streets, beaches and other public areas are patrolled by Balinese village security called pecalang: these brawny men in black jackets, chequered sarongs and wayward headdresses make sure that everything is as ‘activity-less’ as possible for this annual event. For those of you who can’t stand to sit in silence for more than a few hours, by all means, lap up the ‘Nyepi get-away’ deals and hide away in Lombok, Singapore or wherever; but you’re missing out so much if you choose to do so. Over the years, I’ve noticed that even Balinese are also escaping away from Nyepi in their own way: stocking up on food (thought you weren’t allowed to cook??), DVDs (though you weren’t allowed to entertain yourself), and other luxuries. Nonetheless, there is obvious resistance: with pressure from the Hindu Association, the local government is now pushing for not only local and national TV stations to be shut down over Nyepi, but to also pull the plug on any forms of satellite TV. But, can they shut down the Net or mobile providers: that is the big question. Photo Wah Surya © Ayu Martiasih

On the other hand, the rest of the world is slowing learning from the energy saving benefits of Nyepi and have come up with Earth Hour; which is a great idea, but only with our consciences as policemen is impossible to enforce. Inspiring and beautiful as it may be, with the temptation of mod cons and a fast-paced global world, how Nyepi will survive the 21st century is anyone’s guess. Vaughan Hatch has immersed himself with Balinese culture, living with locals in Bali since 1997. He speaks fluent Indonesian and Balinese, and is unashamedly addicted to playing gamelan. A linguistic, archaeology and publishing graduate, he works for indOKiwi ‘linguistic and cultural solutions’ in Sanur. Email him on contact@indokiwibali.com or call (0361) 464201 for further queries.

SCHEDULE THAT “Campur’’ ALIA LEADABRAND (28 March – 23 May) I don’t normally schedule art exhibitions but the information was sent to me by a dear friend and this will be a special evening at KU DE TA. This is an opportunity to meet an amazing artist and at the same time enjoy some complimentary sangria. Alia’s story is inspiring too. She is a visual artist who lives and practices at her coastal hometown, Freemantle, Western Australia. Her creative focus is almost all on faces and subcultures, capturing the intrigue of the individual or the interaction of a soul within the surroundings. Alia draws on her years of adventures, watching from homes, streets to beaches and bars. The ambience, particularly at this time of day at KU DE TA is beautiful, and as the rainy season draws to a close, stunning sunsets. If you can’t make the opening night, take the time to pop in and have a look at the artwork.

tion through this 40 hour course. This is a beginner to intermediate course where new skills are taught and simple to gourmet recipes are learned including pates, appetizers, soups, salads and desserts. These recipes are all based on the pure raw approach which is low glycemic and emphasises food combining. Learning about raw related businesses could be your new enterprise too. I’ve heard of cleansing programmes and know of people who have done food cleansing but I’ve always been skeptical about these. However, this 5 day cleanse programme focuses on raw foods, blended soups and smoothies, juices and lemonade together with emotional processing and gives an understanding of how the body is related to emotions. The science behind this is also taught with personalized guidance in small groups. With all of the stresses and diseases in today’s world this is definitely the way to go as part of a healthy eating plan.

I love Earth (22 April) The Moms and Babies Community group will join together on this auspicious day, Earth Day, something we should all be concerned about and remember to do our bit to nurture and protect our planet. This promises to be a great family day out with a recycle fashion show competition, a face painting competition, a baby dancing competition, a photography competition and a mommies singing competition. There will also be a bazaar, games and great prizes. The ticket includes a mommy and baby t-shirt, lunch and snacks. The reason I’m scheduling it so early is because this is a charity event and sponsorships are welcome. Funds raised will go to an orphanage foundation. So, pop this date in your diary and come along for a fun day out. Cost : IDR150,000 Where : Batu Belig Beach, Seminyak Contact : Tridy 0819 1643 7730, Junita 0877 8855 8424

That is what this one evening will be too.

I was driving past this pub and decided to investigate this new addition to Banjar Semer. Plenty of events are planned including a possible quiz night, sporting events etc so we’ll be waiting for news of these. However, it’s the Englishness of the place that captured my attention. It’s a real ‘home from home’ type of place, a great stopping off point if you live in the surrounding areas. On one wall there are photos and information about famous plumbers and on the other wall an interesting choice of newspaper headlines from the infamous British newspapers. That’s not all. The menu has some great British favourites making it the top ‘Gastro’ pub. Fish and chips, ploughman’s lunch, jacket potatoes are just some of the choices. This is the hub for locals and tourists to meet, enjoy good pub grub, very cold beers, wines and cocktails. It’s already got its crew of locals, firmly seated on the bar stools. Check it out, it has the atmosphere that you’d find at your local pub back home.

Seve Ballesteros Foundation Challenge 2012 (7 – 8 April) This weekend will be devoted to a two day challenge charity tournament supporting The Seve Ballesteros Foundation which helps the charity devoted to cancer research. Day one will be a team event and day two will be individual stroke play. This event is part of an initiative in Spain which will see thousands of golf clubs raise money for this incredible foundation. The Seve Ballesteros Foundation stems from Seve’s fight against cancer. In 2008 he collapsed at Madrid airport and was later diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent life saving brain surgery. The courage and determination he gave to the game of golf was needed to recover and he is now making a difference to the lives of many by supporting Cancer Research UK. He

Losing a Loved One in Bali: a Personal Account and What We All Need to Know By Ima Deville

Losing a loved one is a tragedy for families and friends and w h e n i t happens far away from home, it is important to know what to do and who will be able to help. With an increasing number of tourists, a steadily growing number of foreign residents and more retirees opting for the hospitable climate and lower cost of living, more foreigners will pass away in Bali than ever before. A personal experience: To put certain issues into perspective, the experience of a long term resident following the passing away of her partner is worth recounting to our readers. When Margaret’s partner started feeling sick over a year ago, she obviously did not expect such a fatal outcome. When after 10 days of being sick, on a bleak morning, the doctor broke the sad news that John had died, Margaret certainly was not prepared for what was going to follow. The bills still had to be paid for the doctors’ visits, tests and screenings, hospitals services and morgue services. All of these were a major financial strain as the couple had no health insurance. Margaret tried to withdraw the money left from John’s account but was not allowed as they were de facto partners (common-law husband and wife), a status not recognized by the Indonesian law. Similarly she couldn’t obtain financial help from their consulate who could only recommend the services of an undertaker. When the funeral agency quoted 22 million for the cremation, Margaret could not even scrape the back of the drawer to raise this amount. Her friends and acquaintances showed more embarrassment than true devotion at that stage but, fortunately, a work acquaintance and her assistant, obtained a cremation for 8 million rupiahs and gathered the money by asking for donations from people who had known John and Margaret. The services she had for this amount were meager and the funeral was poorly attended. Balinese friends explained that the ashes could not be taken back home but must be scattered in the sea on that same evening. That was also a desolate experience. Margaret’s mourning was not made easier by the lack of support from family, financial difficulties and what she describes as unprofessionalism or lack of standards from the services she needed. A travel or international medical insurance: a must Travel or international health insurance normally cover the costs of cremation and repatriation of mortal remains to the country of origin. In most cases insurance companies deal with a reputable funeral and professional agency to relieve overwhelming and unnecessary stress. It is easy to slip into the Bali mode and live frugally without a decent insurance coverage but the importance of that safety cushion cannot be over stressed. Some companies may cover the cost of a compassionate trip from a member of the immediate family and certain airlines offer lower compassionate bereavement fares. On a warning note, a death due to a motorbike accident when the rider has no valid license or has not been wearing a helmet, is sometimes not covered by the insurance. What happens when the person passes away? Wherever the death occurs, you will need a m e d i c a l o ff i c e r t o certify the death and you will then need to gather the following information: full name, date of birth, passport number, place and date of issue, next-of-kin, whether they were suffering from any communicable illness, whether they had travel insurance and if so, the name and contact details of the company. If the person had an accident, the people present need to call the police and an ambulance to take the person to a hospital. Your consulate can advise you on which hospitals are recommended. If evacuation is being arranged and

the patient dies prior to evacuation, a good hospital such as SOS would have staff on hand to assist the family/relatives. Most bodies end up in the mortuary in Sanglah, (Singaraja and Tabanan also have a morgue) and anyone who has experienced it will agree that it is not an ideal place for someone to view a loved one. There is no viewing room and the place is not well kept. Who to inform? The family needs to be contacted as soon as possible as they sometimes have to contact the insurance company if the person was alone in Bali and they often have to arrange their trip to Bali. The spouse, children or relatives have to decide if the deceased person will be cremated or repatriated. Some consulates, such as the French consulate, can hold a letter expressing the last wishes of their registered members. The family can waive the right to have an autopsy if they would prefer not to but the consulate, the funeral director or themselves have to explicitly tell the police. The consulate/embassy should be notified as soon as possible as they need to handle the passport issues and legal documents such as the official death certificate and the process can take around two weeks. Most consulates usually ask one of their local staff to assist families. Consulates hold copies of your passport if you are registered with them. A consulate can also start the process of looking for the family of the deceased person if he/she was alone. They will not give financial help but will help you liaise with the legal and administrative process here in Indonesia and help obtaining translations of legal documents. They often advise families about the estimated cost of local burial, local cremation, transport of mortal remains and estimate the cost of transporting any personal property. When there is evidence of suspicious circumstances around the death, consulates can suggest the best way to raise concerns with the local authorities but they cannot investigate themselves.

The insurance may appoint a company, such as International SOS or a funeral director to liaise with the police, the consulate/ embassy and to arrange any paperwork, accommodation for family etc. They may also ask for quotes from the undertakers on the island and choose one funeral agency to provide their services but they will often respond to the recommendations of consulates. What does the funeral director do? The funeral director, also called undertaker, takes care of everything once he receives the power of attorney from the family. He gathers all the information and legal documents required from the police, the hospital, the civil registry office, the consulate, immigration and the insurance company. In case of repatriation of mortal remains, he liaises with a custom agent, a cargo agent and the Health Department. Different nationalities have different safety requirements for repatriation. For example some countries require a metal lined coffin and witnesses when they seal the coffin according to the legal method of these countries. For cremations, the funeral director takes care of the coffin, the cremation itself, the ash urn, the documentation, the city morgue charges and the round transportation from the morgue in Sanglah to the crematorium and to the airport or the place to scatter the ashes. There are two crematoriums in Taman Mumbul in Nusa Dua, an older one (Kertha Semadi Krematorium in Chinese Cemetary) and a newer and more modern one (Cremation Center in Christian Cemetary). If you live in Bali, it is also possible to discuss and plan your last wishes with the funeral director beforehand, plan financially and relieve your family of the decisionmaking process and logistics of your funeral. There are two funeral agencies in Bali: the Antar Bangsa in Pemogan and Rumah Daka RSDA in Denpasar. We have interviewed Rumah Daka RSDA for this article. This agency comes highly recommended by hospital managers and consulates. At the crematorium The family can choose to have a religious ceremony and ask for a Hindu, Catholic or Protestant priest. Muslims prefer to be buried the same day they die. Many foreign families opt for a simple

Hindu ceremony. A foreigner who is not a fully converted Hindu associated with a Banjar cannot consider a picturesque Hindu cremation as we often see here in Bali. For families wishing to have a special ceremony with extra flowers, balloons, decorations, music, a gamelan, a DJ or even birds, the funeral director will recommend an event organizer. Families can contact a funeral service celebrant. Rumah Daka RSAD funeral agency works with a compassionate foreign person who acts as a civil celebrant. This service can be performed at the crematorium or at the private rooms of the funeral agency. This person is an English native speaker and she offers to the family and close friends kind words and empathy and makes a time to gently discuss some areas of importance to enable herself to craft a booklet for the service with appropriate text. She takes into consideration whether religion is an important factor; gathers a brief background of the deceased person, a recent photograph, special music/songs to be played, person(s) that would speak at the service on behalf of family/friends. She organizes fresh flowers, candles and help with any other special request. Her role is to make the family feel comfortable and to insure that the service is conducted with reverence, empathy and displays the highest of ethical and professional standards. The ashes What happens to the ashes is complex because of the Balinese belief that the spirit of the deceased remains where the ashes are. For this reason, it is technically not allowed to bring the ashes back home. If you are a resident and own your house, you can repatriate the ashes to your home but the neighbours and the banjar will expect you to have a big ceremony at a later date. If you are a tourist or a resident in rented accommodation, the banjar will be opposed to bringing the ashes, that is the spirit, home. In rare circumstances, the owner of your house might agree but you will have to commit to having and paying for a ceremony at a later stage to purify the house. Therefore ashes can either be kept at the crematorium or at the funeral agency. Some families decide to bring them back home themselves with all the documentation prepared by the undertaker or the transfer of the ashes to the main airport of the country of origin can also be arranged by the undertaker but someone from the family will have to collect them from the airport. If you decide to scatter the ashes in the sea and if you are a non-resident, Matahari Terbit, north of Sindhu Beach in Sanur is the only option and you will need to hire a boat that will take you to where it is allowed to scatter the ashes. Residents may also ask the banjar for permission to scatter the ashes in Bandung on the beach. Finally, some expatriates decide to be buried but it is a less common practice. How much does it all cost? The cost of repatriation of mortal remains varies according to destination and it ranges from US$3500 to US$5500. A cremation ranges from US$2000 to US$3000. A simple Hindu ceremony costs in the region of 2 million Rupiah and families will give the priest of their faith a donation. The services of a funeral civil celebrant cost US$300 and a special ceremony by an event organizer can cost up to US$1500, depending on the wishes of the family. Sending ashes back home cost US$500. A place in the Christian cemetery (sometimes hard to get) costs US$1500 for 10 years only. The rates mentioned above are for indication only and families need to contact a funeral director to assess their particular situation. We can all be faced with this important issue during our time in Bali. Planning ahead for the future, being registered at your consulate, having a decent insurance plan, discussing your wishes with your family and having a financial safety cushion are all important precautions to help your family in a difficult time when they have lost a loved one.
