Royal Venya Ubud

A Dream Destination in Ubud Bali A Masterpiece Project from Metland As the leading property developer in Indonesia PT. Metropolitan Land Tbk (Metland) is proud to announce it has launched its newest project in Bali. It is Royal Venya Ubud, a luxury villa complex and hotel resort located on a majestic hillside close to Ubud. Royal Venya Ubud is built on a hillside area of 1.7 ha, evoking the contours of typical terraced rice fields in the area. The project has a total of 59 villa units and 21 hotel rooms. Seven different types of villas are available with a choice of one or two bedrooms in one or two-story units. The building area per unit ranges from 48m² to 124m², at prices from Rp.2.5 to 8 billion rupiah. The villas are fully furnished and feature private pools. The common areas with shared facilities at Royal Venya Ubud include a spa, lounge, coffee shop terrace, cascading infinity pool, reflecting pond and outdoor bar, wedding chapel, funicular and a Balinese temple. This luxury villa project is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and shaded by many trees to provide a calm, cool and soothing feeling. Bali is still a prime destination for tourists and becoming even more popular with increasing numbers of both domestic and foreign tourist visiting Bali every year. This was one of the encouraging reasons for Metland to build the Royal Venya Ubud and offer strata title ownership of its villas, with guaranteed return of investment (ROI) of 24

Advertorial percent during the first three years. This up-front 3 year i n v e s t m e n t guarantee will be given to each unit owner. Another advantage is that buyers who later become villa owners at Royal Venya Ubud can also enjoy their stay with a point system and earn up to 48 points per year. Based on solid projections Metland is confident that the yearly rental yield will remain stable and is expected to increase in the following years along with the rate of inflation and the impact of demand-supply on the luxury lodging market in Bali. Metland has more than 20 years experience in the property sector and has been managing the Seminyak Bali Horizon strata hotel since 2012. We feel that investing in Royal Venya Ubud is the right choice for investors because we are optimistic that Royal Venya Ubud will become a new icon in the Ubud region as a preferred place to stay for domestic and foreign tourists. The town of Ubud in beautiful Gianyar regency is one of the favourite tourist stopovers in Bali because of its ensconced location between rice fields and forests, aweinspiring ravines and mountains with very spectacular natural scenery. Thanks to its fame as a preferred tourist destination, land prices in Ubud have been increasing each year and property values in this area will continue to rise. Royal Venya Ubud occupies a strategic location in the tourist area of Ubud, known as a centre for arts and culture and is surrounded by famous attractions such as the

Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, Tegallang rice field terraces, Bali Bird Park, Elephant Cave, the Jatiluwih rice fields, Campuhan Hill and many more. In order to create a comfortable and elegant villa environment on each building lot of the Royal Venya Ubud development, Metland has collaborated with several local and international consultants. The design consultant for Royal Venya Ubud is from the USA. The development of Royal Venya Ubud adds lustre to Metland’s portfolio of commercial projects, especially hotels and to Metland’s portfolios of up-market products that appeal to the upper middle class segment.

Financial Advice for Millennial - But will They Read It? A quick answer is probably not! Or at least if you believe the legend that has built up around this group of roughly 18 to 35 year-olds. To capture their attention a communication should consist of no more than 140 characters and preferably contain three or four emogis to sustain their level of interest. They have grown up in a fast-changing world of high technology, global connectivity and access to instant information on every subject under the sun, not necessarily accurate information! For millennials, today’s pressures and opportunities take priority It is said that millennials are far more concerned with the present than the future and would rather spend their money on reducing student debt and travelling than save for a house or pension. Of course their opportunities for travel are far greater and cheaper than they were for previous generations. But access to property ownership has become much more difficult. They nevertheless are concerned about what is happening in the world and are not happy with what the ‘baby-boomer’ generation has done to the planet in terms of pollution and destruction of the natural world. Hence their disdain for the status quo. They are very conscious about climate change, the environment and the way countries and industries are governed. How do they handle their financial planning? By and large they don’t! They enjoy spending money and are sceptical about the value of saving as they have seen the hardships their parents went through to save for the future, sometimes with questionable results. Retirement pensions are very low in their list of priorities. Which is unfortunate because they are going to face the same as the rest of us when it comes to surviving in old age. And it could be a lot worse due to demographics; the retired population of developed nations is going to be much greater than today and there will be fewer in the workforce to support them. Social care and support as it exists in western countries today can only get worse as governments struggle to balance their budgets. Another interesting fact has emerged in a recent study in the UK. It found that 16-year old school leavers were more literate regarding financial matters than those in the millennial age group. The reason for this is that a decision was made in 2014 to include personal finance in school curriculums (curricula if you are a Latin scholar).

important that they start to face the realities of what lies ahead. Possible solutions Somehow we have to learn to communicate with millennials a little differently. That doesn’t necessarily mean via Facebook (which I don’t subscribe to) or by sending short messages by WhatsApp. But perhaps we need to make the message simpler and try to cut out a lot of the gobbledigook that makes financial planning look so difficult. For example, instead of giving a long presentation on the merits of saving for retirement and trying to convey a huge amount of detail about the various plans available it might be better to offer a simple formula like the following: 1. At what age will you start saving for retirement? 2. Halve it 3. This is the % of salary you should be saving Example: At age 30 it would be 15% Wait till 50 and it is 25% The above is within 140 characters and although there are no emogis it might be sufficient as a rough rule of thumb to start the thinking process. Other aspects of financial planning such as investment strategies and life insurance can similarly be presented in brief as a starter. This strategy however is intended only to capture their interest. Much of the detail must still be conveyed and understood but capturing that initial interest is the first challenge. The recommended level of savings could exceed a millennium’s budget and not figure high on a list of priorities. Unpalatable sacrifices may be necessary but at least an attempt will have been made to present the facts - and the choices. Of course, we post-millennials made all the right choices when we were in that age group, didn’t we?

How can we best communicate with millennials? I ask this because I have frequently had parents ask me to talk to their adult children about the importance of saving and providing for themselves in later life. The parents were concerned because they themselves saved hard when they were young and know how important it is. How much they made by way of profits was irrelevant; the priority was to get into the habit of saving. If piggy banks were impossible to break into they would help to achieve the objective but piggy banks are not a good long term solution; that’s why regular savings plans with their stick and carrot policies and compound growth are more likely to help them to build wealth. Millennials are not keen on face-to-face meetings and detailed factfinds. Which is unfortunate because regulators impose an obligation on advisers to conduct such exercises prior to giving any advice. Millennials are probably more inclined to turn to the less personal and less intrusive service of so-called RoboAdvisers over the Internet. Certainly that is a cheaper route to go in terms of charges. But it is also a dangerous path to follow and there would be little or no help available if things went wrong. We have already established that millennials do not have much disposable income, except perhaps for travel. An immediate example is that of one of the newly-elected members of Congress in the US, a millennial Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who said she could not afford to pay her first rent in Washington until she gets her first pay cheque. In fact, in the US and probably elsewhere millennials’ income in real terms is substantially less - as much as 40% - than what their age group enjoyed a generation ago. In those days qualified young people were in short supply so competition for them pushed up their earnings. Today, there are so many universities churning out large numbers of graduates that only a relative few can immediately command salaries in the real terms of yesteryear. Which makes it even more

the fanciest looking facade I’d have to agree but don’t be dissuaded by its cover, ‘cos what comes out of this little husband and wife warung is hands down delicious!

If you are submitting information about a future event, please be sure to provide accurate details regarding time and place and include pictures where relevant.

Thai Kitchen has been open for a while now yet its offthe-tourist-track location tends to guarantee that despite word of mouth and happenstance, the operation has remained rather small (seriously, it only seats about 12) Run by a charming and friendly couple, eating in at Thai Kitchen is almost like you have been invited into their home to have dinner! The welcome is always friendly including the affectionate sniff and lick from the two resident furry friends as you pull up out front. Service is efficient, prices will hardly put a dent in your dompet and the flavours are to die for. The only hassles I seem to have are over ordering and overeating! Flashy and funky looking eateries are springing up around the ‘Gu about as often as the shortcut gets jammed these days, but while many offer the promise of incredible ambience and super cool surrounds, few actually deliver on taste. Sometimes it pays to look past an unassuming facade to rediscover what makes magic on a plate! As a lover of Thai cuisine it has long been my mission to find somewhere to satisfy my appetite for those authentic, spicy flavours but amazingly, all it really took was a casual scoot around the streets of Tibubeneng to find what might just be the best little Thai Kitchen outside of Bangkok! Quite simply named ‘Thai Kitchen’ this tiny gastronomic gem serves up some of the best Thai food I’ve sampled out of Siam itself! Not

Not likely to be a place you’ll ever leave hungry, Thai Kitchen dishes up generous portions of your Asian favourites. Start with a serve of Spring Rolls or a spicy (and I mean spicy…) Papaya Salad. Leaner options include the herbaceous Larb Gai or Nasi Basil but if you’re yearning for something rich and saucy it’s hard to go past their Red Chicken Curry or Masaman….Mmmmmm!

Local News Automated systems may have caused Lion Air crash

10 having dropped 910 metres just 10 minutes into the flight. Based on the debris, Indonesian authorities concluded that the plane was intact at the moment of collision and was travelling at high speed, with the engines still running. Workers on an offshore oil platform reported seeing the aircraft strike the water at a steep nose-down angle.

On 29 October, Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the Pacific Ocean minutes after takeoff from Jakarta, Indonesia. The brand new Boeing 737-8 carried 189 passengers and crew, all of which perished, in the first ever crash of the new model of Boeing’s best-selling short-haul passenger jet. The aircraft involved in the incident was almost brand new, being delivered to Lion Air on 13 August 2018, but already had a troubled history. The airspeed indicator system, including the Angle-of-Attack (AOA) sensors had suffered issues on previous flights, with maintenance workers inspecting and replacing the system before the Bali to Jakarta flight. Even so, the issues still prevailed, with a near-catastrophic failure on the Bali to Jakarta flight, the last journey of the doomed plane. Passengers reported heavy shaking and sudden changes in altitude, and the pilots had called for a “pan-pan” emergency, one level below the dreaded “mayday”. Though the pilots managed to complete the flight successfully, a 20 degree difference between the right and left AOA sensors was recorded.

Investigations put the design of the new Boeing 737-8 under scrutiny. With the improvements in technology, automation has become a key factor in any modern aircraft systems. One of the new features in this generation of 737’s is an emergency system designed to protect against stalls - statistically the most common cause of accidents. By reading information from the AOA sensors, the plane would automatically push its nose down for up to 10 seconds without the pilot’s authorization. With erroneous data being fed from the sensors, it would thus be possible for the plane to pitch forward at a surprise to the pilots. In 2008, Qantas Flight 72 experienced a similar mishap with an A330-301 utilizing a similar system. The aircraft made two sudden pitch down maneuvers outside of the pilots’ commands, causing serious injuries to the passengers aboard. The pilots declared a Mayday and made an emergency landing.

On the morning of the 29th, the captain of Flight 610 had asked the controller to return to Jakarta three minutes into the flight due to flight control problems. The request was immediately granted, but the plane never turned back. It immediately descended, with the altitude continuously fluctuating. Experts looking at the recorded data noted that Flight 610 was also travelling at unusually high air speeds during the entire descent, in excess of 300 knots when lower altitude flying is restricted to less than 250. The final recorded altitude of the aircraft was 760 metres,

The FAA and Boeing issued a statement on 6 November that such a scenario would be possible on new 737 models and recommended to all operators that should the aircraft enter an uncontrolled pitch-down, the flight crew should shut off the electricity powering the control surfaces in the tail. For the Lion Air flight, this information comes too late. Prompted with a sudden crisis, it is unlikely that even the most skilled pilots would intuitively think to manually override the aircraft’s advanced control systems.

Indonesia to free Bali Nine drug smuggler Renae Lawrence: official

Indonesia leans on businesses to do more about plastic waste

The only female member of the “Bali Nine” heroin-trafficking gang will be freed from an Indonesian prison next week, a corrections official said Monday, after serving 13 years in a case that caused a diplomatic furor. Australian Renae Lawrence, 41, was arrested in 2005 after she was caught with 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds) of heroin strapped to her body as she tried to fly out of the international airport on the holiday island of Bali. Lawrence was sentenced to life imprisonment, but her sentence was later reduced to 20 years and then further reduced due to good behavior.

The Indonesian government is set to make consumer goods manufacturers more responsible for managing the waste from their product packaging, in a bid to tackle one of the worst plastic trash problems in the world. The regulation, expected before the end of this year, is part of a wider effort to cut Indonesia’s waste output by 30 percent by 2025 from current levels, according to Rosa Vivien Ratnawati, the environment ministry’s head of waste management. The so-called extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulation will oblige producers and retailers to redesign their product packaging to have a higher proportion of recyclable material. It will also require that they take greater responsibility for the management of waste from their products.

“She will be released on November 21,” Made Suwendra, head of the Bangli prison on Bali where Lawrence is incarcerated, told AFP. “(Lawrence) is a nice person. Accommodating, easy to work with and be friends with. There have been no problems since she’s been here.” It is likely that Lawrence will be deported shortly after her prison release. She will be the only member of the Bali Nine to win their freedom so far. Gang ringleaders Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were executed by firing squad in 2015, sparking a diplomatic row between Australia and Indonesia, which has some of the world’s strictest drug laws including the death penalty. In June, another Bali Nine member Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen died in prison from stomach cancer, while the remaining five are currently serving life sentences. Some critics have lashed out at the Australian police for tipping off their Indonesian counterparts about the gang and putting its members at risk of execution in Indonesia. High-profile cases like that of Australian Schapelle Corby, who spent more than nine years behind bars for smuggling marijuana into Bali, have stoked concern that Indonesia is becoming a destination for trafficked drugs. Corby was deported in 2017 after several years of parole. [Coconuts Bali November 12, 2018]

Bali Governor Koster insists North Bali airport to move ahead while Jakarta prevaricates on issuing location permit Beritabali.com reports that Bali’s newly elected Governor, I Wayan Koster, has confirmed plans will go ahead to build a new international airport in North Bali at Kubutambahan, Buleleng, assuring all concerned that the essential “location permit” (penlok) will soon be issued by the Ministry of Transportation. Original plans to build the airport on an artificial island of reclaimed land have been abandoned with the airport now planned to be part of the mainland of Bali. The cost of Rp. 25 trillion to build the airport on reclaimed land and the technical challenges prompted the decision to build the facility on land. Lobbying hard for the issuance of the location permit by the Ministry of Transportation, Koster has held meetings with the Minister on August 10th, August 27th and September 4, 2018. Since first being proposed by Bali’s former Governor Made Mangku Pastika, the proposed North Bali International Airport (BIBU) has been surrounded in controversy with many communities vying to become the preferred location and, later, problems over land acquisition surfaced. At one point the airport was to be built on a reclaimed island, but is now planned for the shore of Kubutambahan. A Canadian Airport Consultant Airport Kinesis Consultant has been engaged to design the airport. The total project will consume an estimated 1,400 hectares and is seeking to be energy self-sufficient generating power from sea currents and wave actions. Originally, plans to build the airport on reclaimed land were touted for its ability to preserve 400-600 hectares of agricultural fields and avoid disturbing local religious sites. Project developers must now socialize the new plan and a loss of traditional lands to the surrounding community. In the absence of an official permit from Jakarta, PT Bandara Internasional Bali Utara (PT BIBU) has pushed ahead with the project by holding religious ceremonies at the site in August 2017. At that time, developers claimed construction on the new airport would start in 2017. Plans revealed at the time included a supporting power plant covering 150 hectares, a 600 hectare Aero City, school, hospital, mall and recreational park. The airport would include two runways and a passenger terminal. A yacht terminal adjacent to the airport has also been discussed together with a critical toll road to connect the proposed airport to the rest of the Island. [Bali Discovery November 5, 2018]

Those affected will include makers of processed foods and beverages, who rely heavily on plastic packaging for their products. Retailers such as supermarkets and convenience stores will also be subject to the EPR requirements in terms of the packaging options they offer customers, as will food and beverage outlets that currently use plastic utensils, plates and cups. “The roadmap addresses the way [producers carry out] waste reduction, especially for plastic,” Vivien told reporters on the sidelines of the recent Our Oceans Conference in Nusa Dua, Bali. Indonesia is one of the world’s producers of plastic waste, much of which ends up in the sea. Vivien said an EPR requirement already exists under the Waste Management Act of 2008, but it hasn’t been easy to enforce it. “Because when we talk about this problem, we’re talking about whether industry is ready to carry out EPR,” she said. Ocean waste was one of the key topics discussed by government officials, business executives and civil society representatives at the Bali oceans conference. Indonesia, a country of more than 250 million people, is the biggest contributor, after China, to the plastic trash crisis in the oceans. It produces 3.22 million tonnes of mismanaged plastic waste every year, of which 1.29 million tonnes ends up in the sea, according to environment ministry figures. The businesses that will be subjected to the EPR regulation will be expected to draw up a 10-year plan identifying the proportion of waste from their products that they will take back and recycle, Vivien said. They will be required to either set up their own recycling facilities or partner with existing facilities, she added. Producers will also be expected to establish drop boxes where consumers can dispose of their product waste for processing. Besides the post-retail recycling requirements, producers will have to increase the recyclable content of their products, Vivien said, and ideally look to create goods that are reusable.

639 Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets across Indonesia working to eliminate single-use plastic drink straws Antara reports that Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has since 2017 joined the #Nostrawmovement to eliminate environmentally destructive single-use plastic drinking straws as a part of their business. Over the past year, drinking straw dispensers have been removed from 630 KFC outlets across Indonesia. Some environmental groups place single-used plastic drinking straws as the fifth biggest contributors of plastic ocean waste globally. The #Nostrawmovement was formally adopted on a national basis by KFC on May 8th - International Coral Reef Day. Initially adopted by 6 KFC outlets in Jakarta in 2017, the program was expanded at the end of 2017 for the entire Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Area). According to Hendry Yunianto, a senior manager nationally for KFC, the company is working to spread environmental awareness among its customer base, seeking their cooperation in refusing plastic straws whenever purchasing drinks from one of their outlets or at other food outlets in Indonesia. While the initial program reduced plastic straw usage by 45%, KFC is seeking to eliminate completely the use of plastic straws nation-wide. By the end of 2018 and with the introduction of the program at all 630 KFC stands across Indonesia, plastic straw usage is targeted to be reduced by 54%. It is estimated that every day people using one-time use plastic straws do so 1-2 times a day amounting in Indonesia alone to 93,224,847 plastic straws being used each day at restaurants, for packaged drinks, and other purposes. An Indonesian environmentalist said the 10 cm long straws used by consumers in Indonesia need 500 years to be broken down in the natural environment. Plastic straws are typically made of highly resilient polypropylene. When these items do break down they are rendered in micro plastics that become an inimical material that are absorb into the human body and the wider natural environment causing problems that remain yet to be fully understood.

EXPAT MEDICAL INSURANCE IN BALI THE ROCK AND THE HARD PLACE I’m angry and bewildered, and I’m not alone. The cost of medical insurance keeps increasing, and options for we older expats in Bali are shrinking with every year we age. I went shopping for medical insurance a few years ago as a resident of Indonesia, aged 64, in robust health and with no pre existing conditions. I had just discovered (not from them) that my Singapore-based insurer of 25 years planned to ditch me at age 65. After much research and several interviews with an advisor, I selected a package from a British insurer. It was affordable then but the premiums have been increasing at 25% a year. The Government of Indonesia requires retired KITAS/ KITAP holders to have private medical insurance and indeed we should, but it is becoming unaffordable. The government program BPJS is only available to working KITAS holders and those married to Indonesians. Most local insurance products are designed for the local market based on costs here and usually do not cover evacuation or, if they meet our needs, are expensive. Some local insurers like Asialife offer affordable products with fewer benefits. We need to compare carefully, decide what’s important to us and what coverage we can live without. Medical insurance is a profit-driven business like any other and we elders are not a good business risk. We fall down and break things, need our joints replaced and arteries stented. Many insurers won’t accept new clients after the age of 65, a few accept clients to age 70 and one will accept new clients to age 79; once you are on a plan it usually continues to end of life. The premiums with nil deductible after 65 are very high and increase at 5 year intervals. I spoke to my insurance advisor Nick Hayes, who represents 16 insurance product providers in Indonesia. He’s seen a marked trend in the past few years of expats aged 65 and over downgrading their policies, reducing their benefits and taking on more of the risk themselves. “On average, a 70 year old will pay between US$5,000 and $16,000 a year nil deductible for inpatient care only,” he told me. “More are electing to have outpatient procedures in Asia where they are more affordable.” By reducing benefits and increasing the deductible to the maximum $5000, premiums can come down to under $3000 if you’re under 70. After that, it’s going to be $5000 and up up up each year. One of the reasons for high premiums is the ‘Bali Effect’ or higher costs associated with going to Singapore for treatment instead of the cheaper options in Thailand or Malaysia. This of course drives up costs for the insurer and increasingly, insurers try to save money by insisting that we have treatment in Indonesia instead of overseas. Yes, we have lots of shiny new hospitals with impressive hardware in Bali and Java now. But the software has not improved much; the standard of medical care still lags behind that of Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and India,

by Ibu Kat

though it is highly priced. (Building modern hospitals is extremely expensive; when they started appearing in Bali, doctors began to apply international rates.). Because of the Bali Effect some insurers increase premiums of people living here, which is why my premiums have been increasing at 25% a year. Most medical insurance increases at 8 - 10% a year.

I spoke to Richard Flax, Managing Director of International Global Health. A long time Bali resident, Richard has witnessed some horrendous shortfalls in medical insurance and care over the years. He has a good understanding of what happens when things go wrong in Indonesia and has become an expert in evacuating patients when specialist care was needed. In 1990 he approached Australian medical insurer International Global Health (IGH) with a proposal to provide an insurance package specifically tailored to the needs of expats living in Indonesia. After much negotiation he created a package called ‘Sapphire Go Anywhere’, which is designed to help us through the major medical crises in life. Its premiums can be discounted up to 70%, with an extreme deductible of $15,000. Affordable medical insurance increasingly becomes a trade-off as we get older; to keep premiums reasonable we have to reduce coverage and pay higher excess/deductibles. Not everyone has $15,000 under the bed, but Richard points out that if you are paying high premiums at the present you will soon be able to save it. The package accepts new clients up to the age of 70 at present, though Richard is negotiating this with the insurer to extend that. With the $15,000 deductible my premiums would be $3992 now, $5000 at age 70 and $6000 at age 75 not including inflation. Annual premium increases average 6%. This plan includes ongoing chronic illness cover which most other plans do not. Richard has offered a group discount of 10% if three or more people quote the Bali Advertiser when applying, so be sure to mention this column if you decide to insure with them. Legality is becoming an issue. As with so many situations in Indonesia, buying medical insurance is something of a grey area. On paper, medical insurers and brokers should be legally registered here in Indonesia, but they are only allowed to sell Indonesian insurance products. International products are still being sold here but this grey area, as we well know, could someday become black and white. When

that happens, our options will shrink again. Of the international insurers, International Global Health and William Russell are legal entities here because they are underwritten by Indonesian companies. Like so many others, I downgraded my coverage this year to keep it affordable. Nick is very knowledgeable about the different insurers and together we explored my options. I still have some wiggle room since I’m not yet 70, when most insurers won’t accept new clients. I decided to stay with the same insurer but went from the Standard Plus plan with a deductible of $1,000 to the Standard with a $2,500 deductible. So instead of paying $4306 I will pay $3206 next year. I’ll probably stick with this plan until I am 69, then seriously consider moving over to International Global Health with its 70% discounted plan and $15,000 deductible. But I’m really angry about this. If I may express myself inelegantly, medical insurers have us by the short hairs. Ours is a growing demographic and some of us have many healthy years ahead. Who is going to be the innovator in this constipated industry, finding affordable ways to protect us in Bali as we lurch through our 70s and 80s and possibly 90s? One friend with a pre-existing stomach condition and a cancer scare has been healed with Chinese Traditional Medicine. Others are using nutritional therapy, yoga, pilates and other alternatives to treat inflammation and manage scoliosis and degenerative disc disease. Increasingly, we need to look outside the box, especially when the medical industry has a vested interest in delivering surgical and pharmaceutical interventions that may not actually be required. I’ve read that we incur half of our lifetime medical expenses in the last 30 months of life. But who knows when that will be? A medical insurer has to assume it could be any time after 65, but my DNA indicates that I probably have another 25 or 30 years. Who knows what the premiums will be when I’m 80, still going strong but unable to afford insurance? And why am I paying the same premiums as a smoker? So here we sit on our rock, looking at the hard place, with our silver hair blowing in the tropical breeze. Stay well.

The Healthy Gel Manicure Are you a nail biter? Do you have weak nails that always break as soon as they grow past the end of your finger? If you have a special occasion coming up like a wedding and you want to have beautiful nails to look your best, wouldn’t it be nice to have long beautiful nails? Have you always dreamed of having long beautiful nails like most Indonesians? How do they do it you wonder? Unfortunately, I inherited my mum’s weak nails. Rarely have my natural nails grown out far past the end of my fingers. Certainly not all ten of them at once. Envious of friend’s beautiful long nails, I’ve tried acrylic and gel nails extensions in the past. Several times, in fact. These processes always involved abrading or filing down the natural nail to get the acrylic to adhere to the nail plate or using a strong bonding chemical. This makes the nail plate very thin. Or using plastic tips which are glued onto the end of the nail. If one of these tips break off it often takes the natural nail with it. Leaving me with an even shorter nail. Or the worst nightmare of all a fungus infection growing under the nail extension. If that happens then all of the extensions needed to come off. Then I was left with the unfortunate after math of very thin and extremely weak nails that break off at the slightest provocation. Making me regret getting the extensions in the first place. Well, now there’s hope for your hands. When the owner of Glo Day Spa & Salon contacted me and asked if I’d like to be a model for their new product called Bio Sculpture Gel. She assured me that this product is the only clinically tested gel system receiving a 5 star safety rating. It doesn’t damage your own natural nails. “It’s vegan friendly and cruelty free.” She laughed. This new system contains no ‘badies’ either. This was exciting news for me to be able to

have long nails without the damage. Bio Sculpture Gel extensions are durable, yet flexible. The damage free nail hardening treatment that enhances growth of the natural nail. This product allows your own natural nails to grow without damage. Plus they have silk extensions using silk and the overlay of the gel on your own nails helps strengthen your nails permitting them to grow. This is perfect for nail biters. I decided to give the product a try and booked an appointment. Enticed to have long nails again I chose the sculptured nail style. I was warned that it would be a long process of a couple of hours because each nail had to be created one by one. Setting aside extra time I went to the Canggu location of Glo and was escorted upstairs to the spacious white manicure/ pedicure room that looked so elegant. I was introduced to the therapist and sat in a comfortable chair in front of a manicure table. I was offered ginger tea or water and settled in for the long haul of a manicure. First my hands and nails were treated to a proper manicure, this was key to the preparation for the extensions. The nails were trimmed, filed and shaped with the cuticles pushed back and groomed. Then a nice hand massage to relax my hands. With the products on the table we discussed how long I wanted my nails. Long enough to look great, yet able to type on my laptop. That was important to me. I didn’t want nails so long that I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Finger by finger a form was fitted over the end of my finger. This had lines across it to gauge the length of the intended nail. First a base coat was applied and I was asked to place my hand in a special device using LED light instead of the usual UV light that is standard with gel polish to set it. There’s been some concern about using UV lights effecting your skin health. LED is a healthier option. Three more layers were added drying under the light after each addition. Then she removed the form and filed the nail into a good shape and length. It’s a very meticulous process.

When all ten nails were complete I was asked to select a colour. Glo has 54 different shades to choose from. I chose a dark red. May as well go dramatic I thought. When all the nails were dry I was impressed with my new gorgeous nails. Wrapping my hands around a white cup the therapist took a few photos. They were gorgeous. Bio Sculpture Gel contains no organic solvents, dehydrating primers or binders. With Bio Sculpture Gel there’s no excessive buffing, minimal dust and all products are free of any harmful chemicals including DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor. Bio Sculpture does not damage your natural nails in the application or removal. Glo does not remove acrylic nails as this is far too damaging to the natural nail, however, they can fill in with Bio Sculpture to slowly transition over to the healthy nail system! We are sold! It’s been over four weeks and my nails are still beautiful and long! That’s a record for me. I love them. Glo Day Spa & Salon Jl.

Gongs in Bali Part IV –

What is Special about a Gong to Balinese? If a gamelan orchestra has a hanging gong in it (not all do), it is almost always the most important instrument. It is considered the heart of the ensemble, therefore is also the instrument that can never been left out when an ensemble is reduced in size for some reason. A gong’s sonority is much revered by the Balinese who are very picky about how it should sound in relation to the rest of ensemble. Not only its relative depth is crucial but also what notes it converges with on other low sounding instruments like a jegogan. Ideally a gong should be slightly ‘out’ from the jegogan so that it stands out more when the whole orchestra is playing. Gongs near certain tones have certain characteristics, for example: a kempur gong tuned near the tone ndeng in a pelegongan orchestra is considered most suitable for performances of the Calonarang tale of witchcraft and therefore creating a more tenget (haunted) feel. If there is a pair of gongs, they should also have a certain pitch difference as well as the same type of reverberation (wave length).

A gong is also the instrument that is the focus of any offerings which are made before a performance, a practice or as part of a ritual. There is a special type of offering called tipat gong which is commonly offered to the spirit which is believed to reside in the gong or the entire orchestra. This spirit is considered to be the protector of the orchestra, but is also somewhat capricious: if, for example, offerings are not made or any instruments in the orchestra are poorly treated, this spirit may become angry and seek vengeance. A tipat gong is also believed to have healing power. Included in the offering is not only rice steamed and wrapped in coconut leaves but also an egg called a tipat taluh: it is the egg that is sought after by families who have a child who has trouble learning to talk. Balinese believe that if this child is fed that egg after it has been blessed as part of a tipat gong offering that the child will fast learn how to speak.

Restaurant & Food

Vegetarian in Ubud!

UBUD was not even on the Bali map years ago, just sometimes mentioned as an ‘Artist’s Colony’. Yet over time it h a s b e c o m e B a l i ’s quality destination due t o i t s c u l t u r e preservation and fame as a top end restaurant and wellness location, with almost as many spas as restaurants.

Wellness and Vegetarianism would seem to go hand in hand but with the exception of a rare few, strict vegetarian only restaurants have been a failure here, no doubt due to the lack to the lack of taste that has often followed. However it is imperative for all restaurants in Ubud they at least have yo have an acceptable vegetarian section of the menu. The cuisine that has it all, so to speak, interesting vegetarian dishes with ‘taste’, has to be the Indian Cuisine and leading the way is Ubud’s Queens of India. Queens of India is a follow-on to the very successful Queen’s Tandoor in Seminyak, by the same management and an extension of the Queens of India brand first opened at the front gate entrance to the Dynasty Hotel in Tuban, then at Tandjung Benoa, the 3rd outlet is in Ubud, beside the Royal palace. It heralds the steady upgrading of available dining locations in Ubud but it is, surprisingly, Ubud’s 9th Indian restaurant, though definitely the most up-market. Upstairs is a private air-conditioned room for small dinner/meetings and that special dinner with a group of friends, The restaurant features an immaculate stainless steel kitchen open for your observation, unusual for an Indian restaurant, as many prefer to keep their kitchens unobserved. Nothing to hide here! On arrival you are presented with a complementary serving of crunchy slices of rice papadoms with accompanying bowls of mango and lime chutneys and small pickled onions Whilst there are many non-vegetarian dishes on this menu it is the vegetarian ones that attract me here the most. Queens of India also has many menu items that could be called entrees, or for one of those mid-afternoon anytime snacks. The infamous Samosa [copied by many non-Indian restaurants but never tasting the same] leads the way, packed full of a vegetable mix, coated in that crisp pastry with curry dipping sauce. The quaintly names Frankies are wonderful, and are very tasty! Thin pastry wrapped around cottage cheese combined with tomato, onion and salsa. Same shape as a Frankfurt but could not be more different! From Mumbai are a variety of Puri and Chat snacks, I like

the Aloo Chat, potatoes covered with mint sauce. From the south of India are Dosa and Uttapam. The Chilli Kebab is a vegetable patty with a kick whilst the Harra Bhara Kebab of vegetables and paneer cheese is more delicately spiced. The pan-fried battered Vegetanle Pakora and Onion Bahjee’s are always good. From the Tandoor are Vegetarian Sheek Kebab, Paneer Tikka [cottage cheese marinated in spices, onion and tomatoes], and Hatra Paneer Tikka [cubes of cottage cheese marinated in corriander, mint and green chilli]. Paneer Muttah [cheese and green peas] and Paneer Korma [cheese with ground cashew nuts and cream] are another two dishes that I often enjoy here. As well as the Malai Jalfrazi, corn kernels and green peas pan fried in tomato and onion, topped with capsicum. No cuisine has the range of rice dishes as they do in India, the Kashmiri Pulao [studded with dried fruits] has always been my 1st choice. Here there are many including the pure rice dish, Biryani. Rotis, many of which are cooked in the tandoor, include Nan, Paratha, Roomali, Phulka and Kulcha. A new one for me was the Mixed Herb Nan; the end product slightly rubbery so it was firm to hold and perfect for dunking in the wonderful curries, in true Indian style! As is always the case with quality Indian restaurants the vegetarian options include the full range of tastes from the various regions and cooking styles of India. Whether a simple Samosa or Kashmiri Kebab [a capsicum stuffed with potato, cheese, dried fruits and spices of course], or old favourite Malai Kofta [pictured,vegetable croquettes in a creamy curry]. And there is always the grand daddy of cholesterol fixes; Indian Dhal, magic lentils, yellow, black or red, although in their tastiest form they are cooked with butter and cream! Oh well, you can not win them all! So many great vegetarian tastes, But of course there are many non-veg courses as well. Kalmi Chicken is more unusual; chicken legs marinated in egg, cream and a thick paste of ginger and garlic, then grilled over charcoal. Most people have their own yardsticks for comparing restaurants of like cuisine. For Indian restaurants many compare the silky smooth Butter Chicken, for others the ambrosial Rogan Josh. But my measuring stick has always been that treat from Goa, the Vindaloo. Some go the macho route and make it ridiculously hot, whereas in fact it should just be richly piquant. At Queen’s of India the Vindaloo is as close to perfect as you can get. It has big soft chunks of meat [not soggy lumps of fat as in some other Indian restaurants], a classic. It should not come as a surprise that the Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken are also excellent, although the Chicken Tikka Makhanwala [a more complex butter chicken with a long overnight preparation] is sensational and one of the greatest dishes I have ever tasted. From the Tandoor are many seafood dishes. Chicken Kalimirch [wrapped with ground black peppercorns], Jaffran [wrapped in saffron], Harra [marinated in mint] and Kastoori

C/R/G-7 Nov 18

[with the distinctive flavour of fenugreek] are all uniquely different. Prawns from the Tandoor are almost as good as chicken. Ambi Prawns [flavoured with raw mango] are the most different. Other standards include Keema Mutter [minced lamb with green peas], Muntani Chicken Kofta [minced chicken wrapped in an egg coating] and the Prawn Hydrabadi [cooked with spinach, cashew nuts, and unusual spices]. Whilst the wine list is very minimal you can do it the Indian way and try a refreshing but very strong tasting Masala Mix; Melanga [khua and lime], Ginger Trail [lime juice and ginger ale], Masala Magic [mint leaves, jajeera powder], Masala Daquiri [lime juice, coriander, green chilli and chaat masala], or Jajera [jajera powder and soda]. Whilst the other Indian restaurants in the Ubud area present many standard items, Queens of India extends the options by also including many that take major preparation time. The Queens Group present Indian cuisine as it is in India, importing many ingredients as well as chefs to ensure consistent quality.

Monsieur Spoon offers product in Bali that is

as close as we can get to the French original. In particular their butter croissants are the best available. Furthermore when ordering a ham & cheese croissant, in house, it is stuffed with freshly sliced ham and generous shavings of emmental cheese [not a slice of the plastic, processed cheese so often used elsewhere]. Also on the board are edible garnish of cherry tomatoes and lettuce. They also offer a full range of French breads, cakes and other pastries [pictured] including their exceptional apple turnovers. Over the years since they first opened in Canggu, outlets have been added in Seminyak, Peritenget, Umalas and Ubud [Padang Tegal]. All day breakfasts are also available as well as excellent coffee.

Filini is the Italian restaurant at RadIsson Blu, Uluwatu. The 1st Sunday of very month

they celebrate a special Sunday Brunch @ Rp. 399,999++ p.p. [kids under 12 are free]. There is a flaming BBQ grill, endless homemade pastas and a stone baked pizza station, lush Italian tapas, platters of olives, salamis and cheeses, all sweetly wrapped up with delicate dolcetti. Wines from the cellar are all at less 25%. Live Jazz adds to the atmosphere.

INK is a good name for a Tattoo place but a strange one for a restaurant. However that is what this new Japanese in Canggu [Pantai Berawa] is called but they do at least admit that they are a little bit crazy, cheeseburger stuffed spring rolls, what next? At least they are different not all same, same! Nebula is a trendy café in the old tourist area of Poppies Lane II, Kuta. Different from the rest it serves great coffee and a range of breakfasts, brunch, snacks and light meals. The cuisine is mostly Asian but also with many western dishes with Asian touches. Healthy breakfasts, wraps, burgers, etc. The Quinoa Salad is very healthy, the ‘Thai’ Beef Salad is not very Thai, served with lettuce [no lettuce in Thailand]. Bruschettas, Spaghetti and Sandwiches. The Asian menu includes a Korean Kimchi Fried Rice, a Korean Spicy BBQ Pork and Thai Fried Rice with pork belly. From Indonesia the usual Spring Rolls, Nasi, Mie Gorengs and a range of satays. The Thai Chicken Laksa is a mystery, ‘chicken tights’ I think they mean thighs , and Thai Laksa? Laksa is a Peranakan dish from a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisines…never heard of a Thai version? Graze is at the street front of the Maya Sanur, on Jln. Danau Tamblingan in Sanur. It has already established itself as one of Sanur’s best value eating places, whether inside in the cool aircon at lunchtime or dining al fresco on the covered terrace in the evening. Already one of my regular lunchtime haunts with its interesting but great value food, F & B Director Emmanuel is not one to rest on his laurels. New dishes added include a new selection of Crostini. A popular Italian snack that must begin with excellent bread as a base, luckily Maya have one of the best Pastry Chefs in town. I always liked the mushroom & truffle crostini but the new Green Pea, mint and feta and the Smoked Gindara with horseradish and dill were too difficult to choose between so I had both…back again soon for more. I could happily just eat these crostinis for lunch, every day! A range of Hot Stone dishes [still cooking when it arrives at your table] include Tuna with ginger, lime and coriander, Jumbo Prawns, garlic and lemon, Chicken Tikka kebabs and Angus Sirloin that has already been in Maya’s marinade. You want a healthy salad? Warm apple and pumpkin tossed with goat feta, rocket and walnuts, a dressing of apple cider and honey, ticks all the boxes. For those who, like me, enjoy exotic breakfasts, and at any time of the day [served here from 7.00 a.m. till 3.00 p.m.], three new combos gave been added. Mexican [jalapeno and corn fritter and guacamole with a fried egg], Italian [smoked scarmoza cheese and zucchini waffles with balsamic roasted tomatoes, ruccola and spring onion cream] and Sweet Belgian [cinnamon waffles with rhubarb and raspberry compote, dark chocokate and coconut cream topped with clove honey].

Quo Vadis, Voyager 2? by Ines Wynn

Are you wondering what happened to the Voyager interstellar space probes and their encoded message to the aliens? We never seem to get any interesting updates so it took a bit of googling to get an idea of their present location and state of existence. As of today there are 2 Voyager probes wandering around in space, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched by NASA in the summer of 1977 within a couple of weeks from each other with a mission to explore the outer planets whose orbit lies outside the asteroid belt, i.e., Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The goal of this interstellar mission of the Voyagers was to extend the NASA exploration of the solar system and conduct close-up studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn’s rings, and the larger moons of the two planets. Their extended mandate was to go beyond the outer planets to the far limits of the solar system, and possibly beyond. The Voyagers are capable of leaving the solar system and enter interstellar space; they are capable of reaching other star systems. Voyager 2 was the first probe to be launched on 20 August 1977 and visited Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1981 and Uranus in 1986 before making its closest approach to Neptune on 25 August 25 1989. It was launched first because its programmed trajectory would take longer to reach Jupiter and Saturn but enabled further encounters with Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 departed on 5 September 1977 and would mainly concern itself with Jupiter and Saturn, along a shorter and faster trajectory that was designed to provide an optimal flyby of Saturn’s moon Titan. The Voyagers launch date was chosen to take advantage of a cosmic alignment that happens only once every 176 years when the planets had to be arranged in just the right way to enable the probes to make the grand tour of our outer solar system by using gravitational assists to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Although at the time it was expected that the journey would end at Saturn, NASA engineers were able to design the spacecraft to last at least until Neptune – and beyond.

The Voyagers are equipped with cameras, magnetometers and diverse scientific instruments. The probe’s communication system includes a parabolic dish antenna, with a 3.7 meter diameter to send and receive radio waves via the Deep Space Network stations on Earth. A signal from the Voyagers at the speed of light takes 17 hours to reach Earth. Like most technology powered robotics of that time, they have less computing power than a modern hearing aid. Yet they were able to take astonishing close-up pictures of the planets they visited and helped unlock some stunning secrets of our solar system on their journey. The twin space probes sent back heretofore unseen images of swirling gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their new and exotic moons, some with atmospheres and bubbling ice volcanoes. Their encounters revealed unknown details about each of the four giant planets and their moons. Close-up images from the spacecraft charted Jupiter’s complex cloud forms, winds and storm systems and discovered volcanic activity on its moon Io. Saturn’s rings were found to have enigmatic braids, kinks and spokes and to be accompanied by myriad ‘ringlets’. At Uranus, Voyager 2 discovered a substantial magnetic field around the planet and ten more moons. Its flyby of Neptune uncovered three rings and six hitherto unknown moons, a planetary magnetic field and complex, widely distributed auroras. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited the two ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Where are they now? Today Voyager 1 is more than 13 billion miles away and left our solar system in August 2012 to enter the void of deep interstellar space, some 35 years after its launch in 1977. It is the first man-made object ever to do so, moving with a velocity of 17 km per second. It has been on the cosmic road for a total of 41 years and is headed to a star called Alpha Centauri, a mind boggling 17.6 light years from earth. It will get there in another 70.000 years. Voyager 2 is not far behind, though on a different trajectory and in 296.000 years from now it will be passing within 4.6 light years of Sirius which is the brightest star in the night sky.

Each record is a 30 cm gold-plated copper disk and, like a time capsule, contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth - as of 1977. The discs contain photos of Earth and its life forms, a range of scientific information, spoken greetings in 55 languages from Earth’s people (e.g. the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations and the President of the United States, and the children of the Planet Earth) and a medley called “Sounds of Earth” that includes the sounds of whales, a baby crying, waves breaking on a shore, and a collection of music, including works by Mozart, Blind Willie Johnson, Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode”, Valya Balkanska and other Eastern and Western classics and ethnic performers. The End - Though their primary mission ended in 1989, the Voyagers are still dashing brazenly further into deep space and continue to operate, recording and sending scientific data back to Earth with their primitive instruments. They have adequate electrical power to run science instruments until around 2025. At that time science data communications and spacecraft operations will cease and the probes will become silent voyagers in the void. Voyager 2 has enough fuel to keep going until 2034, while Voyager 1 can keep hurtling along until 2040. They have been out there for 41 years and like the famous bunny, will be going... and going until the lights go out. The golden records will be there for eternity, until some alien being or intelligent power finds them and wonders if our planet Earth is still in existence. And no, no-one has called yet. Photos and information borrowed from Wikipedia with grateful thanks.

The famous gold record - Both Voyagers are carrying two phonograph records bearing recordings and images of life on Earth along with symbolic directions on the cover for playing the record and data detailing the location of Earth.

Bali Water Project

by Richard Foss

Tourists are instantly attracted to Bali’s people, culture and religion, but what they do not see are the island’s rural poor who are not a part of the tourism industry. Hidden away in small villages and subsistence farms, they live and work out of sight from the island’s highways and backroads. For 12 years Richard Foss has been successfully building water systems in the impoverished and parched villages of East Bali, introducing low-tech innovations that have had the power to change people’s lives. Water for drinking and cooking is a scarce commodity in the island’s dry northeast where the dry season lasts from March to October. Foss was a career Army officer, a 1962 graduate of West Point who completed two combat tours in Vietnam. At the end of a teaching career at the University of Colorado, he and his wife started traveling in Southeast Asia. They arrived in Bali for the first time in 1992. After several more visits, they thought so highly of the island’s charms that they ultimately moved here in 1992 and eventually built a home in Ubud. Once settled in Bali, Richard sought out the Rotary Club of Ubud, which he and his wife had joined in Colorado in 2005. At the time of the second Bali Bomb the same year, they were staying on the beach in Amed. When the fragile tourist economy of the area was devastated by the bomb, it led to the Foss’s interest in developing east Bali whose economy was particularly hard hit. For more than a decade, facing challenges of language, climate and a severe geography, the Foss’s have worked on projects in 16 different villages that bring to the eastern region the one element that is even more fundamental to sustaining life than food: safe drinking water. At the time, the majority of subsistence families had only antiquated systems of bamboo pipes and holes in the ground. People had to walk 30 minutes to 4 hours to get water from wells down by the sea or from springs high in the hills. Although bringing potable water closer to the isolated communities of Karangasem is critical, it is not the answer to all their problems. Health care, education, sanitation and economic opportunity must also be addressed. But water is the keystone. Clean water transforms people’s thinking. Tellingly, when one of the village water projects was completed, it motivated people to start raising chickens and cattle and begin using the water to cultivate corn, cassava and pumpkins.

Foss’s work in the tiny village of Gulinten is just one shining example. The inhabitants of this remote village once had to trek for hours to collect water from a fresh water spring. When the project was completed in 2007, water was pumped one km up to a large concrete tank and then distributed to four smaller tanks near 44 families (250-350 people). Each tank was strategically placed on the side of a hill to serve about ten families. The Banjar Aas Water Project is another success story. This deep-well project, storage tank and hand-washing facility was funded to the tune of US$13,000 by a coalition of individual philanthropists and international Rotary Clubs. As is often the case with village wells in the developing world, the new sources of water also fill a vital social function. The site became a wantilan (meeting place) for the banjar and includes a nurse’s room where volunteer nurses stay in order to hold health fairs every month. Families gather at the central tank to not only collect water, but to share news and local gossip. Bali Water Project is essentially about drinking water - water only for human consumption. Though some passages deal with the problems of infrastructure and the economic development of Bali’s rural hill people, the book does not discuss water for bathing, agriculture or animals. Here and there, the book also touches on the captivating story of the Foss’s lives in Bali. The book is not written by a professional writer, but the product of a layperson describing in a simple though well-researched way successful service projects that have been his passion for many years. Bali Water Project chronicles the arduous tasks necessary to make water available for human use in inhospitable areas where there is great poverty not seen by the average visitor, far beyond the exotic and frenetic tourist triangle of southern Bali. Bali Water Project by Richard Foss, CV Bayu Graphic 2017, ISBN 978-602-60356-1-5, paperback, 222 pages, glossary. Also available as a Kindle edition from amazon.com.

A central lesson Foss learned is that people should not rely on outside help to solve their own problems. The means must only be provided for them to do so. The writer explains why water projects initiated by outsiders do not work unless the local people become involved. If villagers feel that an idea is theirs and they are doing most of the work, they will do what is necessary towards a solution and will feel that it is their project. The hard working, resolute and ingenious mountain people portrayed were eventually able to evolve effective and efficient water systems. By 2007, about 4000 people in the region had their daily water needs available within 15 minutes of their homes. Water was stored in concrete or fiberglass storage tanks and provided to homes through kilometers of connected piping. Rotarians and Rotaractors (subcontractors hired by Ubud’s Rotary Club) made sure the right equipment was placed on the coastal road, then men and women laboriously carried the sand, cement, rebar, pipe and plastic tanks uphill and across ravines to the work sites. The long-term sustainability of a project is the result of the village taking on direct responsibility. The banjar (village council) collects a small hook-up fee from the families who will be served. In addition, Rp4000 per month is charged each family and held at the banjar for the purchase of fuel for the pump and maintenance of the system. People designated by the village chief are trained and given the responsibility to routinely maintain the system.

Monkey Business I like or tolerate almost all creatures except mosquitoes and monkeys. So when the dogs started barking hysterically one morning I was not charmed to find a large long tailed macaque glaring at me from the frangipani tree not three metres from my open-plan house. In fact, I was deeply apprehensive. These monkeys are aggressive, destructive and fearless. I shouted at him to be gone, I threw a stone which missed wildly. He bared his teeth, ignoring me and the dogs as he scanned my house for edibles or attractive trinkets. Finally he leapt casually into the crown of a nearby coconut tree, breaking several leaves, before making his way off into the jungle. Clearly he was casing the joint. I live next to a major temple and that is likely a factor in his decision to hang around the neighbourhood. Ibu Mangku was terrorised by this guy and one of his mates when she was placing offerings there one evening. I had been told that being sacred here in Bali monkeys can’t be harmed (although that doesn’t mean they are liked). But according to Dr Bayu Wirayudha, Founder and Director of the Friends of the National Parks Foundation, technically monkeys are only considered sacred if they are within a sacred space like a temple or the Monkey Forest. If they’re outside sacred areas and destroying crops, they can be (and sometimes are) shot. The Balinese don’t talk about this much, but it happens. Friends in Penestanan, Mas, Tebesaya, Bedulu and Kutu Kelod are reporting monkey visits for the first time. Barry told me that one broke into his bathroom and stole an attractively framed mirror. Tamara had to defend her dog with a stick when it was attacked by a monkey in her garden. A woman who lives near the Monkey Forest reports that they’ve become more aggressive in the past few years. Recently several entered her bedroom while she was asleep and threatened her when she woke and tried to chase them out. She had to run out of the house and wait for them to leave. I guessed that this guy (I’ll call him Spike) had lost a dominance confrontation in the Ubud Monkey Forest and migrated up the river until he found some nice fruit trees and a busy temple with

lots of offerings. Spike and his other banished chums from the Monkey Forest are completely unafraid of people and dogs. Bayu told me that wild monkeys are much shyer. Bayu suggested that this sudden appearance of monkeys in residential areas may be because it’s the end of dry season when food is more difficult to find in the wild. “Over population in the Monkey Forest may also be a contributing factor,” he said. Another source may be released pets. He told me that hunters in Java kill mother monkeys and capture the babies to supply a ready market in Java and Bali for young macaques. It seems that lots of Indonesians like to keep cute baby monkeys, usually chained or caged, but of course as they get older and more aggressive they are not so much fun. Then people release them, which is very irresponsible. These semi-socialised animals can’t hunt for food or relate to others of their own species. The Monkey Forest is overpopulated with about 750 monkeys. For the past four years or so, a sterilisation program has been underway in cooperation with the University of Hawaii, Bali Animal Welfare Association and Jakarta Animal Aid Network. The most aggressive monkeys of each gender are selected to prevent this trait from being passed on. Then they are caught, anaesthetised and a quick vasectomy/tubal ligation is performed. through endoscopy. About 200 have been snipped to date. Time will tell whether the aggression is genetic or socialised. Monkeys often bite. Dr Krisna at Ubud Care Clinic told me that his clinic alone deals with two to four monkey bites a week from tourists visiting Ubud Monkey Forest. Multiply that by Ubud’s several clinics and the number of bites requiring medical attention may be higher than 10 a week. “Sometimes the bites are severe,” he reports. “It can be quite challenging dealing with monkey bites.There is risk of bacterial infection, tetanus and Herpes B virus.” WHO general protocol recommends rabies vaccine, although there has been no rabies reported in Bali’s monkey populations to date. Of course the best way to prevent a bite is to avoid interaction with monkeys. The population in the Ubud Monkey Forest is fearless of humans and dogs and can be very aggressive. Monkeys routinely grab glasses, hats, bags and jewellery from tourists. Anyone carrying food is asking for trouble. It’s especially disturbing to see parents hand a banana to a small child to offer a monkey, seeking that perfect Instagram shot. A nasty bite is often the outcome. I’ve never warmed to my simian cousins. When I lived in Kenya, visitors would often ask me to stop the car when they saw a

troupe of baboons. Despite my warning they would open the window and poke out their telephoto lens with squeaks of excitement as the baboons loped up. Finally they realised the danger, pulled back the camera and quickly closed the windows just as a dozen big, militant baboons swarmed the car. They would pull the windshield wipers, threaten us through the glass and urinate down the windows. ‘Drive, drive!” the visitors would shriek, cameras forgotten. I feel threatened and invaded when monkeys lurk near my peaceful Bali home. There’s a basket of stones and a slingshot on the porch, ready to repel boarders. But Barry has the best solution. He brought over a few of his precious bottle rockets, a small firework that is aimed by placing it in a narrow necked bottle before lighting. Only a few days later Spike returned, baring his fangs and lunging confidently at the dogs from a nearby tree. I armed my bottle rocket; I’d never lit a firework in my life but I was highly motivated. Touching the green bit with a match as Barry had instructed, I aimed the business end of the rocket just above Spike’s ugly head. It went off with a huge bang, discharging clouds of smoke. Spike leapt the river in a single bound, crashing frantically through the trees. It was most satisfactory. A week later his friend dropped by and sat high in a coconut tree, watching the house; he had heard about me. I discharged the second rocket (they have an excellent range) and he was gone long before the smoke cleared. Since then I’ve seen monkeys in the distance but they don’t venture near the house any more. Which is a bit disappointing, because I brought a water bazooka back from Canada which has a 10 metre trajectory and I’m a little shocked at how much I’m looking forward to using it.

Bali House & Home

How to refresh your short-lease rental on a limited budget by Ibu Jenny

Welcome to At Home, our new Bali Advertiser column devoted to interior design and home ideas. We’ll be sharing tips, tricks and practical advice to help you make the most of your Bali home. In this inaugural column, we’ve invited architect/ interior designer Alejandra Cisneros to share her top tips for refreshing your home on a tight budget — illustrated with stunning shots from her newly-launched book, Seen Unseen: Embracing Natural Design in Bali. Argentinian architect Alejandra Cisneros originally came to Bali on vacation in 2004, fell in love with the island… and never left. Known for creating one-of-akind homes for others who, like her, answered Bali’s persistent ‘call’, she’s also personally moved house countless times during the 15 years she has called Bali home. “What makes a happy home?” I asked her. “A house is like a living being; it needs to be loved, paid attention to”, she answered. “Unused rooms, corners that don’t get taken advantage of, gardens that we don’t sit in or eat breakfast in— they are not animated. It is very important for a home to be fully used: the more it is used, the happier it will be.” The flow, the way you move through the house needs to make sense too, she believes. “When we walk into a house and it makes sense to us on a subconscious level, that’s when we feel comfortable and we can relax.” Imperfection is her inspiration. Alej loves working with ugly ducklings. “I love problemsolving. It can be a big challenge like, how to have the least impact on the land and still create a luxurious living environment. Or the problem can be small e.g. how do we make a space better with practically no budget” — a question that will resonate with those on a short lease and limited budget. So what IS her advice for them? “Even if you are on a small housing budget and are here for only a year, you can make your life so much more beautiful. Work with what you already have. Clear unnecessary clutter, move around your furniture and art. You will instantly give the space a fresh feel.” In her experience, landlords don’t mind, or even encourage, change; “In other countries, landlords may not want you to do anything, but here it tends not to be a problem.’ Here are a few specific things that you can do to put your own stamp on your rental, or refresh your forever home — Alej’s “little design survival kit to make your beautiful life on Bali even more beautiful.” Check if you are fully using the house Take a tour, spend time in different areas, and ask yourself this question: ‘Which areas am I not using?’ If it’s a balcony off a bedroom, for example, and you don’t find yourself using it, go out there and ask yourself, ‘Why am I not spending more time here?’ Usually the answer will be that there is something you could do easily to activate the space and

make it more usable. It may be as simple as moving furniture around, adding more lighting … or even just choosing to start using the space. Improve lighting This is really important on the island of Bali, where fluorescent lighting and dim lighting are still bizarrely popular with builders and landlords. Just changing the lightbulbs in that Balinese rental will lift the space – Alej buys LED Spotlights and screws them into existing sockets or lamps. Adding a couple of cheap desk or floor lamps that you can move around will also make a huge difference. Add floor mats A current favourite decorating idea is to add floor mats. Buy the cheapest —— they only cost around 80,000 rupiah – and use them to cover an ugly floor. Hey presto, you have defined a space, and made it much warmer. Paint everything white If you have a little bit of money, get a big 5-litre pot of white paint. (Best to keep a neutral canvas as you can add colour later; but keep in mind it’s really easy to overdo colour, so be restrained). Then paint everything you can get your hands on — or hire a painting kelompok to do it for you: for a little over one juta, three people can paint your house, and white-wash the old furniture in three days. The change is incredible! Add colour with textiles Buy some inexpensive sarongs from the market — the cheaper they are, the more likely you will use them e.g. put one on a balcony and not worry about fading as, if you need to change it, you can. Buy whatever happens to be available, and have fun mixing patterns, stripes and prints. Consider new bedding If you have inherited a Spiderman bedcover with your rental — as recently happened with Alej’s brother; it’s not uncommon, replace it with a sarong from the market. Or invest in some cotton sheets and pillows, or a hand-quilted bedcover from Sukawati. Add glamour to the bedroom Make the most of a beautiful vaulted ceiling in your bedroom. Hire someone to make a bamboo frame – anybody in your banjar can make one for you, as it’s what they do for weddings and ceremonies. Have them fix it to the highest point on the ceiling, then have a mosquito net custom-made to hang from that point right down to the floor. This will give your bedroom a really glamorous feel. Consider modifying furniture Sometimes, white-washing a drab piece of furniture isn’t enough; it just doesn’t work. But a little tweaking can work wonders. For example, an almari purchased a decade ago was dwarfed by the space; it wasn’t tall enough. She had some funny little 40cm legs made, painted them green and fitted them to the base of the wardrobe. Immediately it inhabited the space perfectly. “It’s my favourite piece now, and every time I look at those little green legs, I laugh.” “One more piece of advice from Alej. “Cut some fresh flowers from your garden – it can even just be greenery. And add a bowl of fruit. for a bright splash of colour. Alej believes that one of the great lessons of Bali is how to live beautifully in simplicity, how to blend what she calls the “poetic and the practical”. As one of her happy joglo owners says, “Alej’s houses all have a humbleness, a serenity and a sense of grandeur about them — a combination that makes people quietly gasp when they enter.” We hope her tips help you find those same qualities in your own home. If you’re interested in taking a look at her book, it is available at Periplus bookshops. Alternatively, Alej has signed 20 copies for sale to readers of Bali Advertiser; if you would like one, please contact Ibu Sri at sricantik74@gmail.com and she can arrange to have a copy delivered to you.

INSITU Music Music of the Balinese gamelan may be familiar and ubiquitous, but there are some (not so quiet) revolutions happening in this art. A fair number of Balinese musicians have long been inclined to try various innovations and new compositions, or to group traditional instruments in new ways, and just experiment and have fun. We didn’t always get to hear such changes and creations. Musicians had no training in promotion, or even how to properly record a performance. It didn’t help that the arts establishment adhered to the idea that innovation was plain wrong (a remnant colonial attitude). Now that recording equipment is a fraction of the cost, and the fragility and size of equipment is less of a factor, it is possible to preserve these one-of-a-kind performances and new compositions. Today, an engineer and an assistant with motorbikes can go anywhere on the island with the components of a mobile recording unit riding in their backpacks. Here’s what’s going on with one such enterprise. A dynamic and professional young recording outfit called Insitu has been busy over the last couple of years, recording and videotaping dozens of new works. There is an Insitu Recordings youtube channel and there is even a patreon.com site for supporting Insitu and subscribing to the label’s new releases.

fostering pride in Bali’s arts. She can be heard on recordings made by Insitu, such as Ceraken’s Bibit Volume 2 and Insitu Sessions Volume 2, and she composed a piece for Insitu Sessions 5. Insitu began with Jonathan Adams, an American electronic music composer and dj, who, as a BA candidate, spearheaded the University of Washington’s move to bring master composer I Wayan Sinti’s 9-tone gamelan Siwa Nada into the collection of the music department. Today, ethnomusicology students there learn Sinti’s compositions for his unique ensemble of instruments. Jonathan continued his formal studies of Indonesian music, and, once beginning Doctorate work in Ethnomusicology at Vancouver’s UBC, he was back in Bali meeting and helping young musicians. This led Jonathan to act as a liaison between Italian Giovanni Scarino (a producer of Scarlotti compositions played by gamelan) and Bali’s creative gamelan milieu. Scarino gave some equipment for local musicians to use in further projects. One key component was a laptop he gave to Balinese wunderkind I Putu Gede Sukaryana (aka Balot), a top student of composer, master musician, and eccentric iconoclast Subandi. Jonathan brainstormed with Balot and these young musicians and it was decided to launch their own record label. Jonathan updated the kit, mentored local musicians in recording engineering, tutored Balot on laptop video editing, and today the Insitu label is set up as a cooperative nonprofit; attractively packaged CDs go to participating musicians, so that they can in turn sell them and keep the proceeds.

The channel provides discerning listeners a chance to discover various unique new sounds. You may be quite surprised at the virtuosity, moods, and dynamism from the different artists who have been professionally videotaped and recorded for the site. A personal favorite of mine is the gentle Maju Mundur by I Wayan Arik Wirawan, using two musicians on the very large gongs and a four-man reyong (the long row of exquisitely sonorous gongs that rest horizontally). See https://www.youtube.com/insitu_recordings

The shared mobile recording studio is busy making superb productions. Just see these videos: first link is Sanggar Kembang Ceraki rendering a segment of Scarlatti’s Sonata K 67, and the second is a taste of Balot’s own Selendro (Anomali) movements of his trademark maximum sound in a small ensemble: https://youtu.be/aSRV0_r27CM https://youtu.be/GKIRl7fyUwo

At Denpasar’s 40th annual Arts Festival this year, two of the hottest acts were the Gamelan Pesel, playing truly inspired new songs from their album Nada Hidup (Insitu Recordings Imprint), and I Made Arsa Wijaya (aka Wa’one or Wawan), who performed with his group Seni Sana Sini. The annual Bali Arts Festival in Denpasar (16 June – 14 July 2019) is an assured place to find more new compositions being played, but in 2018, the schedule changed after online release, and Gamelan Pesel’s appearance was moved forward by two hours without notice. Solution: make social media contact with these musicians, follow their posts, and check for notifications often. Village arts festivals like the Tabanan Fiesta, Sanur Village Festival, Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, and Bali Spirit, can be good places to check for new Indonesian music, and I recently caught up with one multiple prize-winning young woman composer who participated in the second Tabanan Fiesta, Ni Made Ayu Dwi Sattvitri. Sattvitri is Bali’s fastest rising female gamelan composer. She says that teaching young children the joy of gamelan is her greatest passion, and finds musicianship is intrinsic to

Cathedra Toiletus Encephalopathy A scream rent the air. “Wayaaaaaaaan” Wayan quietly carried on clipping some hibiscus in the nether regions of the garden hoping against hope that the sound was some cerebral aberration that had intruded itself into the serenity of his afternoon. “Wayan” the voice came again “where are you you useless piece of bile laiden nasal excretia from the left nostril of a castrated camel?” “An interesting phrase,” thought Wayan abstractedly “why the left nostril?”. Suddenly he was brought back to the reality of working for a woman who is a trifle difficult at times. His mind wandered back to the time he had left the toilet seat up, the event that finally convinced him that this crazy woman had a somewhat tenuous grip on this earthly realm. She had turned purple and shaken with rage, he’d seen a dog dying with rabies which was nothing compared to cathedra toiletus encephalopathy (or mad toilet seat disease). “I don’t know about toilet seats” he thought “I’ve never even had one”. “Coming Bu” he shouted back.” She spun around wildly. “Don’t creep up on me like that” she screamed. “Wayan I told you to clip that hedge so it was level.” “It looks level to me Bu.” “Can’t you understand even the simplest instruction I give you? Are you totally stupid? Do I have to do everything myself?” Wayan just smiled. The unflappable nature of this man drove her totally bananas. “That’s not level with the top of the wall.” “Yes but you didn’t say level with the top of the wall, the top of the wall slopes, you asked me to make it level and it is level.”

“I meant level with the top of the wall but even so you didn’t cut it level, it’s curved down at the ends.” “It looks level to me Bu.” “You need to get your eyes tested if you think that’s level.” “Perhaps it’s your glasses Bu” he replied quietly “they make things look curved.” “Don’t you start getting clever with me you intellectually challenged pile of....... she took off her glasses and looked at the hedge, then at the lenses of her glasses, a mumble escaped her lips, a pause........ She regained her composure just enough to get her hysteria reorganised in her brain. “I give you a simple instruction and all you do is put on that gormless smile.” She was not going to be deprived of her daily release and was starting to work herself up into a frenzy again. “What is it about you people, why can’t you understand simple English? Why is it that you take everything I say literally? Can’t you read my mind? - and will you stop smiling you stupid, stupid, stupid man” “Yes Bu” he said quietly. “Yes what?” she roared. “I’ve got high blood pressure and it’s all your fault.” Wayan smiled back and a thought drifted aimlessly through his consciousness to have pity, after all this poor woman has to wake up with herself every morning. Wayan no longer works there, he quietly picked up his clippers and walked out one day never to return. The garden looks unkempt these days, an endless trail of gardeners has been to tender the plants but few have lasted long. The grass is kept short, however, with the constant stampings of a somewhat deranged woman. And, as she storms about in her mumblings and rantings, a dog barks, a couple of cocks crow and the birds whistle on in some far off corner of paradise.... We meet people like this from time to time don’t we? They

come to Bali to escape but bring their problems with them. This is a country where you can do anything if you can find the right people. We may find very capable people but much depends on how we treat them. Some staff may be lazy or incompetent but often it is the attitude of the employer that causes the problems. If we shout at them they become stressed, they lose motivation, make mistakes and do bad work. I am fortunate enough to have a team of staff that are like family, they are capable, dependable and loyal and I put this down to several key factors: • • • • •

They are ‘managed’ and not ‘controlled’ (trying to control people sends you crazy). They get good training and detailed explanations. They are paid properly with benefits of 13th month salary, performance bonus, paid holidays, BPJS health insurance, Jamsostek pension and meal allowance. Their culture is respected. They are never shouted at.

I have found that if staff are treated with respect they return that respect, if people are loyal to them they will return that loyalty ten-fold, it makes life so much easier.

UWRF18: A hotbed for freedom of expression in a region where it is crucially needed The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) successfully delivered its 15th year from 24-28 October, with dynamic celebrations of Indonesia’s thriving literature and arts industry, and compelling discussions of the region’s most polarizing issues.

Director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia, Yeb Saño, was an impressive spokesperson for collective activism and female empowerment in the fight against climate change. “As a human species we survive because we work together,” he told the capacity crowd at Taman Baca. “If you’re looking for a simple answer on how we can solve climate change: empower women. We need to empower women to have a fighting chance against climate change.”

This year’s UWRF became a hotbed for freedom of expression in a region where it is crucially needed, reinforcing the Festival’s role as the primary platform for Indonesian writers and artists to share their work and air their country’s biggest challenges. Feminism, gender identity, queer censorship, religious freedom, environmental activism and Indigenous rights were unpacked by over 180 authors, activists and journalists from across Indonesia and the world.

From how #MeToo translates in Indonesia and the region, to the power of storytelling and sharing through art to enable healing, gender equality and feminism in many forms was a focal point of the Festival. “My generation is fighting for the recognition of sexual violence,” commented Indonesian poet, academic and activist Saras Dewi. “The stories and knowledge even about our own bodies are denied to women,” stated author and activist Eliza Vitri Handayani.

The UWRF’s role as a major annual injection for local businesses was also strengthened, with an audience of 25,000 across its 200+ events spending an estimated USD 830,000, a 10% increase on the previous year. After the devastating natural disasters in Lombok and Palu, attendees donated almost USD 2,000 to local NGO IDEP Foundation’s Emergency Response. Indonesia’s firebrand Minister for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Susi Pudjiastuti, set the Festival’s environmental agenda with her trademark wit and straight-talking style. “If we have human rights, we also need ecosystem rights. Where is the protection for marine rights?” she asked BBC Indonesia’s Rebecca Henschke during her opening address.

The importance of sharing stories for social impact was encapsulated by Festival headliner Hanif Kureishi: “We write characters that have to live in the world and change it at the same time by their stories being present. You can’t contribute to the narrative by being absent and being silent.” One of the most stirring discussions of the UWRF was the Off Limits panel, during which young Indonesian writers who tackle topics still considered taboo in Indonesia shared their struggles and hopes. “Support can go in many ways and forms, but silence is never a support,” said award-winning queer author Norman Erikson Pasaribu. Pasaribu is one of the 12 Indonesian writers announced during the Festival selected to attend the London Book Fair 2019, at which Indonesia is the focus country. The Indonesian program will celebrate the best of contemporary Indonesian literature, and the writers chosen represent the diversity of Indonesia’s literary landscape, and its multiple regions, religions, genres, and ages.

C/U/G-26 Sept. 18

The remaining 11 are Agustinus Wibowo, Clara Ng, Dewi Lestari, Faisal Oddang, Intan Paramaditha, Laksmi Pamuntjak, Leila S. Chudori, Nirwan Dewanto, Reda Gaudiamo, Seno Gumira Ajidarma, and Sheila Rooswitha Putri. All except Rooswitha Putri are previous UWRF speakers. “It has always been our mission to extend the reach of Indonesian writers, promote Indonesian culture and support local emerging writers,” commented UWRF Founder & Director Janet DeNeefe at the Festival’s 15th birthday celebration at Casa Luna. “With Indonesia as the London Book Fair’s focus country next year, the future of Indonesian literature on the world stage is bright,” DeNeefe continued. “We feel proud to have supported hundreds of Indonesian writers and thinkers throughout our 15 years, and we’re excited about what we can continue to achieve over the next 15. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our 16th year from 23-27 October, 2019.” The UWRF extends a very big thank you to Bali Advertiser for its continued support as a Media Partner, and to all Bali Advertiser readers and writers who attended this year’s Festival.

Ubud ROTARTY CLUB BALI UBUD SUNSET WE CAN, THEY CAN’T…….. Hello to all regular readers of the Rotary clubs fortnightly column! This fortnight I have entitled my article “We can, They Can’t” ……so what does this mean? It means to me, that so many expats living in this beautiful island, with its generous friendly people, amazing scenery, traditional customs and culture going back hundreds and hundreds of years, are able to live here very comfortably…unfortunately for so many Balinese, and Indonesians this is not the case. As we are all aware conditions vary considerably as do earnings, and not everyone gets the opportunity of a full education leading to gainful employment. The education system is varied to say the least, although this is not my topic today, but HEALTH is! Even if we expats do not have private health insurance either in Bali or your home country we can still afford to be treated here. There are many very good hospitals, dental clinics and specialist clinics available to us.

But to the people of this island, health care is not free! Families have to pay every month into the government’s scheme and even then they are not fully covered for all treatments, medicines etc. Those who live in the towns or near to towns can access care if needed, and often have to take loans, apply to the banks, or their families to help pay the bills. This of course then has to be repaid! However to many people in Bali, because of where they live they have absolutely no access to any kind of medical care. Nor do they have the money to even consider it. So they go without, or go to local medicine healers….I am not saying they are not credible but sometimes western medicine is required. So, Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset’s latest project was to sponsor “ Rumah Sehat/ Yayasan Kita Peduli” in providing a Healthy Day. This is a broad based community initiative set up in 2011 by Sue and Ray Bishop, also members of RCBUS, providing remote village families in Karangasem region with basic health care, nutritional and hygiene education and also vocational training through the Pricilla Hall Memorial Foundation.

News

HEALTHY DAY – When sponsorship is offered, as in this case by RCBUS, the organisational process goes to work. Firstly an area in great need of free health care, always a very remote village is located. Consultation with the local Kepala Desa, Banjar and Rumah Sehat takes place. Once a village and a venue is established, next a date is set, usually several weeks in advance. The villages have to have the day advertised and the necessary medical personnel have to be approached with the date and confirmation they can attend.

Over 300 adults were treated on the day, 9 cataracts detected which will require surgery, plus distribution of glasses and in some cases eye drops. Breast screening – 6 lumps detected, 1 definite cancer, 1 throat cancer, much dental work carried out, and over 200 children instructed in dental hygiene and rewarded with a free toothbrush and toothpaste. All volunteers and this includes the medical personnel were provided with morning snacks, water, and a lunch time food box. Woh!! WHAT A DAY! But was it worth it. We Can, They Can’t….. Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset has also sent funds to assist in the disaster in Palu as we did for the Lombok disaster fund.

On October 6th 2018, a Healthy Day took place in the local school in Kendampal, east Bali. The village is 12 kms up Mount Agung, YES up the mountain, only 4 kms from the summit! Thankfully the Gods were with us, a perfect day, and Mt. Agung kept very quiet for us. This village has over 514 families and no medical care….many are elderly and have never left their village. So now please imagine general doctors, nurses, ophthalmologists, dentists, physiotherapists, pap smear and breast screen professionals, pharmacists, plus all the volunteers, driving up the mountain with all their equipment? Not to mention food,water, cleaning materials, etc. etc. Quite a feat, you may say and you would not be wrong. The day before, much cleaning at the school was carried out by volunteers and the various classrooms turned into “surgeries”. People start arriving about 8am for registration then to be seen by the appropriate professional. Those wishing to have pap smear and breast screening, and the women do have to be encouraged, have to go through an educational talk/power point by the gynaecologist before having the physical tests. Following this they are given a food box, which most mothers promptly give to their children. All the school children turned up even though they had the day off. Following the physical exams, they were given a ladies incentive pack. Things we take for granted.

To finish I would like to take this opportunity to advertise our 1 and only fund raiser of the year.

Say What? Question:

I’m in my late sixties and have some age-related health challenges, which mean I’m occasionally caught short and need to use the ladies’ room rather urgently. This happened today in a popular Seminyak restaurant where I was in the one ladies’ room stall for about ten minutes. No sooner did I get in there, when someone pounded loudly on the door. I said I’d just be just a few minutes as I was helpless to leave at that moment, and the pounding stopped. After about another minute, the pounding started up again. Again, I needed more time and said I was sorry, that I’d only be a few minutes. I suspect that I’m not the only one in the world with issues of this nature, and I was being as quick and polite as I could be. When I was able, I completed my business, washed my hands, and opened the door to find a woman of thirtysomething standing in the hallway with a scowl on her face and a raised fist. “Goodness gracious, lady,” she snarled. “There are four people out here waiting to get in there.”

I don’t feel like I can ever go back there, which is unfortunate because they have a wonderful menu. I feel humiliated and powerless since that was the only comeback I could think of. What should I have done?

Dr. ZZ: Socially acceptable substitutes for the f-word are “WOW” or “EXCUSE YOU” but, in this instance, you are probably better off taking a page from Dame Helen Mirren, who regrets not telling people to “fuck off” more in life. The other woman probably had to use the restroom urgently too and was not at her best in the moment. That, however, is not your fault. Your suggestion about using the men’s room was, in my opinion, a good one. Abusing you was not a solution, and you don’t have to care about her feelings. Let her clutch her pearls forever while you go back to that restaurant to enjoy the menu any time you feel like it.

Question: I have a friend who is lonely and under-

“Instead of standing there arguing, why don’t you just get the hell out!” she said very loudly. By now, people in the environs were looking at us although they were attempting not to meet my eyes.

socialized. Often, when he enters a conversation, he does not respond to the flow or the attempts of others to change the subject. Instead, oblivious to signs of disinterest and boredom, he waits until you’re finished, and says something like, “Cool. So about the story I was telling . . .” and picks up where he left off. His stories are usually fairly mundane, and in a group of people, he will make sure every new person hears his pet tale of the day - no matter how many times the other people there have heard it already.

Then - and I’m not proud of this - I said, “Why don’t you go fuck yourself?” and collected my shawl and purse in a leisurely fashion while the other woman reared back and gave a Victorian-maiden impression over my use of the f-bomb. Nobody in the place would look at me as I left.

Although he comes across as being self centered, I suspect that he is instead insecure, oblivious and eager to socialize. He’s a nice person when he gets out of his own way, and I am willing to help him expand his circle of friends - if I can do it without being talked at for hours while feigning interest.

I looked around and saw only her. “Maybe you ought to have used the men’s room,” I suggested.

Last night, for example, I was out with him and a couple of other buddies, and once again he managed to dominate the conversation for hours. This was exhausting and disappointing because I had wanted to catch up with my other friends, and instead we were all subject to his show. Is there anything I can do short of sitting him down and telling him that he is boring? It’s not fun to hear for anyone, and this friend in particular will likely be hurt.

Dr. ZZ: You do not have to take on the project of overhauling your friend’s loneliness and social life. When you want him around and want to hang out, invite him. When you don’t, don’t. In his presence, you need to take care of your own boredom levels. Let him know when you’ve heard his story already, and excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, get a breath of fresh air, order another cup of coffee, or whatever. Other people who want to hear the story will stay; those who don’t may accept your lifeline to take a break. You can also always start a side conversation with someone else you are interested in. When another person else tells a story, ask them a follow-up question. You don’t have to take care of anybody else’s possible boredom. If a situation like last night happens, where your oblivious friend dominates the conversation and ruins your evening, see if you can pull him aside and ask him to ease off. Or tell him the next day that you’re glad he had a good time, that your other friends seemed to enjoy meeting him, but that his two or three hours of telling the same old story put a damper on your evening. Set bright boundaries with him about how much you can be talked at without being unkind. Taking care of yourself around these interactions will probably be some of the best “help” you can give him.

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.
