The Frugal Balinist * Custom order! To a certain extent you are able to special order signature Indonesian dishes even at lowly rolling food vendors (kaki lima) and warung (food stalls). If you don’t see MSG (ajinomoto or micin) in a container in the warung’s cooking area, it means that it has already been added to the broth of the soto ayam, bakso or nasi goreng, mie goreng, etc. (No MSG is used in the grilling of fish or ikan bakar). If you do see it, it usually means that MSG hasn’t been added yet because they want to use it as a fresh ingredient while cooking to give the dish a deeper flavor. Ask the server not to include it, “Jangan kasih micin” or point to it and say “Saya tidak mau itu.” You can also dial down the spiciness of a dish with “Jangan kasih banyak sambal” or the sweetness of a dish “Jangan terlalu manis.”

* Shopping tips At Seminyak’s Bintang Supermarket, one of the largest supermarkets in Bali, a whole aisle is dedicated to Indonesian and Chinese incense. *Cheaper to buy in Bali than Australia is Yakult yoghurt drinks (A$1), hair care products like Clearasil facewash (A$2.50), toothpaste like Sensodyne, baby needs, Bali coffee, power adaptors and practically all household goods from bath and toiletries to kitchen and lingerie. *Bali Discovery (tel. 0361-464-032/0361471-0242 is offering real bargains while supplies last: US$250 per night at the Apurva Kempinski Bali; US$125/night at the Mövenpick Resort Jimbaran Bay, The Stones Hotel Legian and the Prama Sanur Beach Bali Hotel; US$75/night at the Holiday Inn Resort Bali Benoa. *When requesting an item and the response is “Habis,” it doesn’t necessarily mean “out of stock.” It often means that the item isn’t available now, has

never been available and the store has no intention whatsoever of ever making it available. *Myth exploded: Keep bananas out of the refrigerator only until they ripen, but when ripe bananas will last longer in the refrigerator. *Dempul (putty), made by Sanpolac, comes in a variety of sizes and prices (from Rp13,5000 to Rp99,000). It's used to fill holes in wood and metal and will keep a year if the can is stored in a dry place and the lid is dampened down very tightly.

* Vacation abroad! Since the recent steep increases in domestic airfares and added-on baggage fees, traveling outside Indonesia is now cheaper than traveling inside the country. A flight from Jakarta to Medan (Lion Air Rp1,547,300) now costs 40% more than an international flight between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur (Lion Air Rp745,000), even though the air distances are the same. Flying to Japan is comparable in costs to flying to Gorontalo, North Sulawesi. Tickets on low-cost carriers from Jakarta to Bali have jumped from around Rp1 million to now over Rp2.5 million. A round-trip to Pontianak that once cost Rp1.2 million now runs Rp1 million one-way. To Morotai a round-trip costs Rp5 million, but the maximum price for flying to Australia is Rp7-Rp8 million. Since the increases, the number of domestic tourists traveling as well as hotel occupancy rates have decreased by 30% nation-wide. For domestic travel, travelers are now starting to use alternate modes of transportation such trains, cars and inter-island ferries.

drivers who speed, make illegal turns or who have no license plates, no brake lights, no registration certificate (STNK), etc. Additional fines are given for each additional violation.

* Tech Up! If someone tells you there’s an app for that, your first questions should be “Does there need to be? Is the app something that I’m willing to pay for both in terms of money and privacy? *The fastest, easiest ways to declutter a slow and buggy smartphone is free up storage by getting rid of apps you don’t need and message threads full of GIFs, memes, videos and photos which can take up a ton of space. *Another big storage hog are photos and videos. Back them up to an online cloud backup service like Apple’s iCloud, Google Drive, Google Photos or Amazon Prime Photos. Once you back up the photos, you can delete them from your phone and access them remotely through the backup service. *Facetime, Viber, Line and Facebook Messenger are free online instant messaging software, but to call landlines or people who own old style cellphones (HP jadul), you must use the pay-for-use Skype service. *The Mint app is a budget tracking tool that gives you a clear picture of how much you’re spending and saving.

* Traffic woes Have it together and get all your documents in order before taking your motorbike out. Don’t ride on sidewalks (trotoar), stay within the guide lines at intersections and when making turns and stop before stop lines at traffic lights. *Penalties are becoming increasingly severe. Fines now cost Rp250,000 for minor violations (no valid Indonesian or International driver’s license, no headlight, not wearing a standard helmet, failure to use a turn signal, traveling the wrong way, etc.). More serious violations, which incur fines of Rp500,000, apply to

Peranakan Cuisine Brings to Life the Region’s History Taking center stage at this year’s Ubud Food Festival, Peranakan fare is an amalgamation of Chinese, Malay and Indonesian cuisines. Also referred to as nyonya cooking, an old Malay term of respect for women, Peranakan flavors were spotlighted at the festival during two workshops hosted by Debbie Teoh, a chef, author and a loyal supporter of the flavorsome cooking style. Debbie is a true nyonya—her mum is a nyonya from Penang and her dad a baba from Malacca—who grew up in a family of food enthusiasts. She says that she got interested in cooking after finding out that the Peranakan dishes served at restaurants were not the same as she had grown up with at home. “My background is purely nyonya. I actually like to use the term Peranakan straits born,” Debbie says. “Peranakan means locally born and refers to the descendants of the Chinese settlers who started coming to the Malay archipelago way back in the 1600s, many of whom married local women. You can find many of us living in Malaysia, along the straits of Malacca, where Peranakans originated, hence the name straits born Chinese.”

For Debbie Peranakan cuisine is not just about food, it is a culture. Over the years, Peranakans have developed very distinct customs, dialect and forms of dressing, she says. Peranakans speak a form of Malay with Hokkien words thrown into the mix. The Peranakan way of dressing comprises the nyonya kebaya, a tight-fitting embroidered blouse, said to have been inspired by Malay baju panjang, a knee-length tunic worn over a sarong. “We have a lovely attire that includes the kebaya with different colors and

motifs,” Debbie reiterates. “And since food plays such a huge role in Peranakan culture, we have different dishes for festivals, weddings, birthdays, periods of morning or other special events. Unfortunately, nowadays most restaurants mix all of these dishes together.” Originating with Chinese immigrants in Malacca, Penang, Singapore and Indonesia, Peranakan cuisine is heavily influenced by region, as well as local tastes and ingredients. Peranakans have come up with their own interpretations of Indonesian and Malaysian dishes, and have infused Chinese dishes with Malay spices. The rich cuisine also incorporates colonial cooking styles, including Dutch, Portuguese and English, as well as elements of Thai and Indian fare. For example, the recipe for enche kabin skewers, or Penang nyonya fried chicken skewers, is made with Worcestershire sauce, a tangy condiment from England. The flavors of Peranakan dishes are to a large extent determined by the spices used, which usually come in a variety of textures and densities. The intricate cuisine is also an antithesis of fast food in that it usually takes a long time to prepare. In particular, the meat and seafood need to be marinated for many hours prior to cooking to absorb the spices, which are often prepared in the traditional way using a mortar and pestle. “I would say that Peranakan dishes are similar to Malay cooking but the spices need to be ground more finely and sautéed for longer. This results in stronger flavors and fragrances,” Debbie says. “My favorite is a spicy paste made from lemongrass, galangal and shrimp paste, which gives the cuisine its distinct flavor.” Peranakan cuisine can be divided into southern nyonya and northern nyonya cooking. The northern variation, which can be found in Penang, is flavored by Thai influences, and is more tangy and sour. Meanwhile, southern nyonya cuisine of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia is sweeter and contains more coconut milk. One of the most well-known Peranakan dishes is laksa, a soup with seafood and thick noodles, which has different seasoning depending on where it is prepared. Not surprisingly, the Northern take on the dish, asam laksa is more sour while the Southern taken on the dish, laksa lemak contains a lot of coconut milk. While laksa is probably one of the most well-known Peranakan

C/Ho/G-24 Oct. 18

dishes, some of Debbie’s favorites include nyonya lepat kacang, glutinous rice and soya bean wrapped in triangular packets using attap leaves, and char siu pau, or buns filled with baked chicken. And while the dishes are all open to interpretation depending on whose kitchen they are prepared in, Debbie believes that any culinary experimentation should be approached with caution. “Do not try to change a recipe before trying it out. Follow it to the letter and change it later.”

Alternative Voice The Expatriate Dilemma... Reluctant Home thoughts from Abroad The Bali expatriate community has a particular flavour all its own. Unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta even, Bali is not a financial or commercial centre. Most foreigners who come here are tourists. Foreigners who come here to work and who have stayed for any length of time are here mostly in a travel-related capacity. In the past two decades this has come to include people engaged in resort and property development. Another commercial sector would be those involved in the design and manufacture of exports, often in the garment and house and home fields. Bali with its vibrant artisan tradition has also become a creative hotspot for foreign designers and something of a shop window for Indonesia as a whole.

time is how we don’t quite fit in back in the country of our birth. We are subtly different. They know it and we know it. Apart perhaps from family, we usually relate better and more readily to other expatriates of whatever nationality and in whatever country we come across them. Our own countrymen and women appear to us curiously insular, if not a bit dull, while their eyes glaze over if we are foolish enough to answer any query about where we’re from in more than a word. We don’t quite speak the same as they any more, something sets us apart and they don’t quite know what to make of us. The more blinkered of them consider us to be in some way disloyal and some of them would even seek to deny us the benefits of our citizenship and even pensions.

In short we expatriates make our beds and we must lie in them with good grace, accepting the passage of time and what it brings, until we must move on – some of us never do. As an expat, one of the things we inevitably come to see in

My dilemma then, and that of any expartriate anywhere whether they feel it or not, is that without the standing to participate fully in the complete spectrum of political and social debate of our country of origin, we deny ourselves the right to address the burning issues of the day, issues which affect every one of us and generations to come.

How we personally conduct ourselves does make a difference and is important, but - it is no longer enough. It’s too late for that. Enough of us need to join with other likeminded people and make a political difference at grass roots level. We can’t do that in a land where we have no legal standing. The only way we can make a meaningful difference in the world today is to take action within local communities making the changes necessary to address these issues in a way and scale that central government is forced to follow suit at national and international levels.

Of course there is a downside. It isn’t home and they organise things differently here, so get used to it. Adapt or move on. By and large that is what most people who come here do. The only real drawback to Bali is the level of healthcare available and that is improving. That said the question of individual healthcare is the one thing to which all foreign residents in Bali would do well to pay particular attention.

Australians of course are in the enviable position of having it both ways through sheer proximity to their ‘near North” while enjoying one of the world’s best national health services. Though quite how they need to square that with their tax obligations I couldn’t say.

I have to confess that while I would never vote Tory in an UK general election I have no burning desire to record my vote since to do so is not going to make a difference.

These issues are by now clear for all to see: climate change, overpopulation, nuclear war and economic inequality. They are essentially one and the same, and cannot be left unaddressed any longer if our civilisation is to survive.

Whatever the make up of the expatriate community its hard core comprises men and women of all ages, surfies to retirees, who have made their home in Bali because they have come to love the place and prefer it above all others. Anyone who has spent long periods away from the country of their birth take note of the costs and benefits of their nonresident stutus. For many such benefits are financial and climatic. The sun shines, there are blue skies, white sand beaches and you either pay none, or very little tax. The cost of living is low and you can afford help in the house. Add to that a local population that is by and large welcoming and possess a fascinating culture it is easy to see why so many foreigners are attracted to Bali.

All else is a self-indulgent quibble. Dealing with bureaucrats is a time-consuming pain in the arse in any country, as are dealing with the utilities. Don’t even get me started on that most post-human of all recent innovations, the curse that dares call itself ‘customer service’.

welcome, but not if I’m unappreciative, critical or ungrateful. In which case the locals not unnaturally wonder what’s keeping me here?

The only agency that can bring about global change on this level is the national entity, that is for the majority of countries in the world going through such a bottom-up process.

All of this is par for the course and need not abash us unduly, for by and large we are out in the world and they are not. We retain most of our birthright, culture and upbringing plus whatever we have the wit and desire to take aboard of the other cultures in which we are free to immerse ourselves. That said, there are certain prices to be paid that become apparent over time that I wonder about and which nowadays I find increasingly matter. I do not know how much other longstanding expatriates feel about this, but it concerns me to find that I am effectively a political neuter. I do not mean by this that I cannot vote in a general election in my country, which is (for now) the United Kingdom. I can and have. But that’s about as far as it can go. In Bali, Indonesia or even Hong Kong, where I have right of abode, I cannot vote and as a guest in these countries I may be

We know international talking shops can’t do it. We have seen the Great and the Good , the talking heads of our world, shamed by the stark clarity of a girl barely sixteen years old speaking truth to power. Something has shifted. I didn’t plan or want to go back to my chilly country of birth, but when circumstances permit, I may find I have to.

Body & Spirit

BOOMER CORNER If not Immortality what about The 120 Club? My good friend Alexander Everett died in 2005 aged 85 on his ranch in Oregon. It wasn’t really a ranch, more like an Ark. Alexander just liked to hang out with animals, certainly not eat them. Hewas an educationalist and an English eccentric much influenced by Rudolf Steiner and Huxley’s Perennial Philosophy, who decamped to Oregon in the 1960s becoming a leading figure in the personal development movement that became popular at that time. As a young man he had been crippled by polio but claimed to have cured himself. He was, he told me a member of the 120 Club, all of whom committed themselves to live to be over 120 years old. Alas, Alexander didn’t make it. He died 35 years short aged 85, which is respectable. Somewhere around the age of 18 or 19 our bodies cease developing and from that moment on the various body clocks that comprise what is us, start their remoseless countdown to our eventual demise. How long we last from that point on depends on good luck, our genes, our lifestyle and how much money we have. The process doesn’t usually start to manifest visibly until our mid-30s or so and, given good genes, psychologically we don’t usually start to feel old until our early 70s.

the cell membrane and purging the cell of toxic debris. Mitochondrial depletion lead to congestive heart failure, muscle weakness, fatigue and neurological disease. Hormone Imbalance Trillions of cells in the human body are synchronised to function by chemical signals called hormones. Aging creates hormonal imbalance that can lead to depression, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease and loss of libido. Excess Calcification Calcium ions are transported into and out of cells through calcium channels into the membrane. Aging disrupts this process and the result is excess calcium in the cells of the brain, heart valves and arterial walls that can lead to arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer’s.

aging humans, excessive levels of dangerous cytokines are produced that cause the immune system to turn on its host and create auto-immune diseases,, such as allergies, lupus, anemia, rheumatoid heart disease and arthritis. Non-Digestive Enzyme Imbalance Internal cellular functions depend on multiple enzymatic reactions occurring with precise timing. Aging causes enzyme disturbances in the brain and liver, which result in severe neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s or persistent memory loss. Impaired liver function results in toxic damage to every cell in the body. Digestive Enzyme Deficit The aging pancreas often fails to secrete enough digestive enzymes, while the aging liver does not secrete enough bile acids. The results are the chronic digestive problems many face as they age. Excitotoxicity The aging brain loses control of its release of neurotransmitters such as glutamate and dopamine, and this results in devastating brain cell damage and destruction.

Here’s what we’re all up against:

Circulatory Deficit

Chronic Inflammation

Microcapillary flow of blood to the brain, eye and skin is impaired as a part of normal aging. The result is that disorders of the eye (such as cataract, macular degeneration, glaucoma) are the No.1 age-related degenerative disease. Major and mini-strokes are common problems associated with circulatory deficit to the brain.

Aging people suffer an epidemic of outward inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, but chronic inflammation also damages brain cells, arterial walls, heart valves and other structures in the body. Heart attack, stroke, heart valve failure, and Alzheimer’s have all been linked to the chronic inflammatory cascade. Glycosylation

Fatty Acid Imbalance

Oxidative Stress

Diabetics age prematurely, but even non-diabetics suffer from this chemical reaction, where protein molecules bind to glucose molecules forming non-functioning structures. Glycosylation is most evident in senile dementia, stiffening of the arteries, and degenerative diseases of the eye.

The body requires essential fatty acids to maintain cell energy output. Aging causes alterations in the enzymes required to convert dietary fats into specific fatty acids the body requires. The effect of fatty acid imbalance manifests as irregular heartbeat, joint degeneration, low energy, hyper-coagulation, dry skin and a host of other conditions.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that have been implicated in most diseases associated with aging. Antioxidants have become popular supplements to protect against free-radical-induced cell damage, but few people take the proper combination of antioxidant supplements needed to do any good.

Methylation Deficit

DNA Mutation

Our cellular DNA requires constant enzymatic action for maintenance and repair. Aging cripples methylation metabolism causing DNA damage that can manifest as cancer, liver damage and brain cell degeneration.

Numerous synthetic and natural compounds mutate cellular DNA and cause cancer cells to form. Aging cells lose their DNA gene repair mechanisms and the result is DNA genetic damage causes cells to proliferate out of control, i.e., turn into cancer cells.

Mitochondrial Energy Depletion The cellular energy powerhouse, the mitochondria, requires a complex series of chemicals to maintain critical functions such as transporting nutrients through

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH TOO MANY ANTIBIOTICS … Over-prescription of Antibiotics a Major Problem - WHO WHO has warned that the over prescription of antibiotics will lead to a global resistance to pathogenic microbes (infection causing bacteria & viruses). While many developed countries have strict guidelines on the prescription of antibiotics, third world countries are much more relaxed on the issue, often considering the profits, incentives and commissions to be made rather than the wellbeing of the patient and the global community at large. For example, women that give birth in Indonesia are all given a course of Amoxicillin after birth “just in case” infection develops. With many doctors in Asia on low incomes, commissions from drug sales are often where they make their money. Self medication is also a huge problem in this society. Antibiotics (or any “prescription” drugs for that matter) are easily purchased at most pharmacies without any prescription at all. Even more shocking is that some backstreet “warungs” also stock a supply of antibiotics, usually selling to the “gentlemen” who have visited the local whorehouses. “Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes an estimated 700,000 deaths annually worldwide, and every country is potentially affected. If not properly addressed, the number could grow to 10 million per year by 2050”.

What are antibiotics? Antibiotics, through various actions, destroy or inhibit the growth of bacteria. The antibiotic may be specific, and targeted at a small group of bacteria, or it may be a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which means it will be effective against a large group of organisms. Most antibiotics are absorbed well through the gut, and are sold as tablets or syrups, but some do have to be injected. Do antibiotics cure all infections? No they do not. Antibiotics have no effect at all on infections caused by viruses, or fungi. Viruses cause all types of flu and colds, and most coughs and sore throats. Recovery from viral infections will happen in the same number of days with or without antibiotics. In some cases antibiotics will be prescribed for someone suffering a heavy viral infection to prevent bacterial overgrowth. Antibiotics will aggravate the condition of someone suffering a fungal infection. Many “healthy bacteria” that normally live around our bodies actually assist us in our wellbeing. These friendly bacteria are killed when broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed. This then leaves an open arena for pathogens like certain fungi (e.g. Candida), to take over. Interestingly enough, recovery from some bacterial infections will happen in the same number of days with or without antibiotics. Our bodies do have the ability to heal themselves in most circumstances.

What is “Antibiotic Resistance”? When antibiotics are used to kill a certain group of bacteria, some of those bacteria may adapt, grow and multiply with a new found strength that is able to resist the antibiotic that was once effective in killing it. Each time an antibiotic is used, the chance of resistance increases. The resistance to any antibiotic is not limited to one person but affects the entire community in general. For example if Fred takes antibiotics (eg Amoxicillin) for every minor infection that he has, the bacteria will soon become resistant to that antibiotic. If John is then infected by a bacteria that has been passed on to him by Fred, it will be of no use for John to take Amoxicillin. The bacteria is already resistant.

This has been proven in communities worldwide. Penicillin, the very first antibiotic to be marketed, is now useless against most infections. Certain strains of antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus (Golden Staph.) have colonized in hospitals all over the globe. Malaria is resistant to Chloroquine in almost all high-risk Malaria regions (although strictly speaking Malaria is not a bacteria, but the same principle applies). Five Strains of Bacteria that are Now Resistant Antibiotic resistance risks returning us to an age where even simple cuts and scrapes can become deadly. For a glimpse of what could be commonplace in our future, here are five of the scariest antibiotic resistant bacteria from the last five years. 1. Extensively drug-resistant Salmonella typhi This highly contagious bacterium causes typhoid fever, a life-threatening infection that affects about 21 million people around the world every year. About 1% of those affected, or 223,000 people, will die. In November 2016, a strain of Salmonella typhi emerged in Pakistan. It was resistant to five antibiotics, leaving only one oral antibiotic (azithromycin) able to treat it. 2. Extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the world’s leading infectious killer, causing more than 1.7 million deaths every year. It’s estimated up to 13% of all new tuberculosis cases are multidrug-resistant, with Europe, including Russia, seeing the highest number of these cases. 3. Pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common bacterium found in the skin, intestines and soil. It causes a range of potentially deadly infections in people with compromised immune systems. As this bacterium is particularly prevalent in hospitals, it’s one of the most critical drug-resistant threats to public health. In 2013 there were 8,000 reports of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the United States alone, with a death rate of 50% for people with bloodstream infections. 4. Pandrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Like Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a commonly found bacterium that causes infections in people with compromised immune systems. Like Klebsiella pneumoniae, it’s particularly prevalent in hospitals. In the past five years, 29 cases of pandrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection have been reported in hospitals in England. 5. Extensively drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae There are an estimated 78 million global cases of Neisseria gonorrhea, which causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection affecting men and women. Although usually not deadly, serious and permanent health problems including infertility can result if the disease goes untreated. Around

C/He/G-10 April 19

one-third of all Neisseria gonorrhea infections are resistant to at least one antibiotic. More worryingly, a new extensively drug-resistant “super gonorrhea”, resistant to all but one antibiotic, has been discovered. Steps to reduce use of antibiotics Try to avoid infections in the first place. If you do get one, use antibiotics correctly. The following steps can help: Wash your hands often • Use plain soap and water. • Wash before preparing or eating food. • Wash after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, sneezing, coughing, handling garbage and coming home from public places. • Wash before and after treating a cut or wound or being near a sick person. At home • Don’t share personal items like towels, razors, tweezers and nail clippers. • Keep kitchen and bathrooms clean. You can clean surfaces with soap and water. Try to avoid products with added anti-bacterials. • Don’t put purses, diaper bags, or gym bags on the kitchen table or counter. • Wash wounds with regular soap and water. Use over-the-counter antibiotic products such as neomycin (Neosporin and generic) or bacitracin only for cuts that look dirty. Work with your doctor • Don’t push for antibiotics with your doctor. If you don’t have a bacterial infection, ask how to relieve symptoms. Consumer demand is one of the major factors in the over-use of antibiotics. • Fight it off. If symptoms are mild and complications unlikely, ask if you can delay treatment for a few days. • Maintain a healthy lifestyle & diet. • Take antibiotics as prescribed. Don’t skip doses or stop the medicine early. • Don’t use leftover antibiotics to treat an infection. Taking the wrong medicine allows bacteria to multiply. If the household or personal product (cleaning solutions, soap, shampoo etc) says antibacterial, leave it on the shelf. Use vinegar, soap, or bicarb soda instead. Bacterial resistance cannot be stopped; it is part of evolution itself. However it’s development and spread can be minimized by: • Only using antibiotics when absolutely necessary. • Knowing what sort of illnesses respond to antibiotics. • Understanding that recovery from many illnesses will occur in the same time frame, with or without antibiotics.

Bali House & Home

At Home in Bali

Design ideas and inspiration for tropical living

Dressing your table We popped over to our neighbour the other day for an evening of wine, pizza and Bananagram. Food, drinks, friends, chit-chat…a spicy blend of ingredients. Tucking into a take-away from Pizza Bagus, I mused on how satisfactory it is to eat straight out of the delivery box, how that small act somehow amplifies the pleasure of a simple take-away. (There’s the feelgood factor too; those temporary plates find new after-dinner-life as a cage tray for the resident cockatoo, an added save-the-planet benefit.) Yet left unused underneath said boxes were the most exquisite blue & white china dinner plates, survivors of our host’s previous corporate life in Singapore, perfectly matched with her crisply ironed blue & white Indian cotton napkins.

Gaya Ceramic If a dash of Bulgari panache appeals, head over to Gaya Ceramic’s flasgship showroom in Sayan just west of Ubud. This world-famous ceramic studio has created bespoke tableware for Bali-and-beyond’s best hotels, including Bulgari, Aman, Como and Ritz Carlton. And it’s likely that you have already dined off Gaya tableware at some stage, at the likes of Locovore, La Lucciola, Bambu Indah, Room 4 Dessert and, my Ubud vegan favourite, Moksa. (And I confess that Gaya’s extraordinary Aegean-aqua installation wall at Dumbo has me drooling as much as maestro Jono’s fab haute-vegetarian menu!) By popular demand from private clients a few years back, Gaya has also created a world-class collection of hand-crafted tableware and homewares, beautifully curated within the showroom’s industrial-chic setting of vintage furniture and custommade ceramic tiles, and for sale to anyone who appreciates spectacularly original artisan ceramics. Every single piece is unique, hand-made and utterly gorgeous. You can also book a tour of their production facilities…and if you’re really lucky, your visit may coincide with a showroom clearout, when you can pick up the most amazing hand-crafted pieces for outrageously reasonable prices. Kevala Ceramics

Ohhh the delicious joy of a well-dressed table! I’m not talking about table setting etiquette — which spoon goes where, why the water glass always goes above the knives, how to avoid a frightful social faux pas. Nor am I thinking about my thoroughly British and sadly under-used Minton St James wedding-present dinner service. We eat with our eyes — which is why food looks more appetising on arrestingly beautiful dinnerware. Gaya Ceramic’s tagline sums it up: ‘Hand made food looks better in hand made plates’. In restaurants and cafes across the island, I have a habit of precariously inverting my plate to check its origin; while friends dive into their food as soon as it arrives at the table, I am busy checking what it’s served on. We’re so lucky to have an amazing choice of artisan ceramic tableware in Bali — many being hand-crafted artisanal pieces. Here are some of my favourite go-to crafted-in-Bali places.

Why does my filtered temple-spring drinking water taste so much better when served in a Kevala jug? How come my heart leaps at the sight of their playful collection of contemporary ceramics created by Australian textile designer Dimity Kidston? What would I do to own their whimsical botanical-print-inspired Baturiti and Pendet ranges…the fish platter is fabulous! The word kevala means perfect, whole and complete, a suitable name for this innovative ceramic studio that offers possibly the largest collection of creative stoneware tableware in Bali — all hand-crafted by the company’s 100+ artisans and bearing evocative names reflecting their island heritage. Remember the coveted rice bowl or plate in that restaurant you visited? It’s probably a Kevala. The studio has designed for leading hotels and restaurants across Indonesia and Asia, from Bali heroes Metis and Mulia to Six Senses Seychelles and Raffles Singapore. There’s a style to suit all tastes and personalities, from the sophisticated grey-is-the-new-black Petitenget range, to the vibrant Nusa Dua range in eye-popping colours. Pop into Kevala Home in Batubelig, Sanur or Ubud, and pick up a set to transform your dining table in an instant. Jenggala Wayan Ani’s Vietnamese spring rolls positively sparkle when served on my favourite Jenggala folded dinner plate. Over the years I have lost quite a few – wash up in haste, repent at leisure – and I am clinging onto my remaining three, always keeping an eye out for new stock in their Ubud shop. Rumour has it that Jenggala started life in the 70s in a garage behind the Geoffrey Bawa-created Batujimbar home of Australian artist Donald Friend. Four decades later, they are ‘the foremost producer of quality handcrafted ceramic tableware in Indonesia’ (according to the website) and possibly Bali’s most internationally recognised brand. I love their quintessentially Balinese designs such as frangipani, bamboo, lotus, and banana

leaf plates. Who need a special occasion to justify a beautiful table? The simplest table shines brightly when embellished with place settings of square hibiscuspatterned plates or the exotic, organically shaped Pincuk range. You’ll find Jenggala shops in Ubud, Sanur and Jimbaran….and I defy you to leave their factory outlet on Jl. Sunset empty-handed.

Art on the Table For everyday tableware that doesn’t have the handcrafted artisan elan but is practical in kitchens where breakages happen with more frequency than is welcome, Art on the Table is the go-to. I used to brave the Kerebokan traffic to beat a path to their Petitenget store, breathing in exhaust fumes while rifling through stacks of assorted tableware as though excavating an archaeology dig. Now there’s a shop in Ubud, it’s a lot easier to pop in and pick up a replacement white plate or two. But be warned; they are easy enough on the pocket, and I have never escaped without a brightly coloured batik-style plate or two that hook my magpie soul. In my modest Ubud open-air kitchen, a quick inventory reveals items from all four of the above ceramic stars, as well as Sari Api, Eclipse and BaliZen, for which I have plenty of enthusiastic words but alas no more word count. In a future article, I’ll gleefully explore their glorious homewares, decorative objects and ceramic sculptures.

R O TA R Y NEWS Listening and Learning The Rotary Club of Bali Lovina has been continuing its activities in the field, but in this report I would like to tell our readers about some of the interesting and inspiring guest speakers that have recently visited our club.

In February we were treated to a talk from Jeroen Van Overbeek, founder and CEO of Social-Impakt. Jeroen spoke about the water filters his company produces and distributes, providing a cheap and efficient alternative to bottled water. The filters make water from any source completely safe for drinking, and the key component lasts up to 3 years. In addition to his work in bringing affordable drinking water to the villages of Bali, his company has been instrumental in assisting relief operations following the earthquakes in Lombok and the tsunami in Sulawesi. More information about the work of Social-Impakt can be found at www.social-impakt.com.

These visitors have shared their stories of how they are working to help the less privileged people in Bali, and in particular North Bali. At a meeting in January we were delighted to welcome guest speaker Marjanne Oomen, a physiotherapist now working with the Stepping Stones Bali foundation. Marjanne gave an inspiring talk on the work of the foundation in helping children with disabilities in Bali, and particularly those born with “club foot”. With early intervention babies with this condition can be successfully treated. More information can be found at www.steppingstonesbali.org.

Our next guest speaker was Robert Faber, a geologist, who gave a fascinating and useful talk about the causes and effects of earthquakes. Did you know that if you experience an earthquake, and you can feel it moving side to side, but not up and down, then there will not be a tsunami produced? And that there is a direct relationship between the strength of an earthquake and the time duration of the shake? Earthquakes cannot be predicted, says Robert, but a knowledge of their effects can reduce panic. We had a truly inspiring guest speaker at our meeting on the 10th of April - Ari Ambarini spoke of her journey to become a doctor, her long-held dream now nearing fruition. She is about to start her internship and we wish her all the best!! Ari has received some assistance in her studies from a member of the Rotary Club of Everett, WA, USA, and from one of our

own members who has personally encouraged her to pursue her ambition.

Our most recent inspiring guest speaker at was Andy Bracey from the Global Village Foundation. This organization does brilliant work in, among other things, providing wheelchairs to children and adults in need across Bali. They also provide free water filters and other services. A foundation well worth supporting! More information on their work can be found at http:// globalvillagefoundation. net/ Pictured is Andy with a child’s wheelchair. Hearing about the challenges and successes of these individuals and organizations has certainly inspired our Rotary Club to work even harder in bringing about positive change in North Bali.

Building & Maintenance

GARDEN DOCTOR Lead Contamination in Soil / Improving Soil Hi Dr Kris, What a good article on soil testing thank you. My problem is all the plants that I’ve planted whether from cuttings or seed start off fine and grow, but won’t flower or set fruit, and after a short while stop growing and become retarded. I have fertilised with cow poop and chemicals with no difference. I really am at a loss as what to do next. Any ideas please. I’m now going to try your testing suggestions. Many thanks, Andrew.

established away from busy roads - at least 20 to 80 metres away, lead levels are usually elevated directly next to main roads. In addition - generally the older the house, or any other building for that matter containing lead-based paint, then the more lead found in the surrounding garden beds. Most often areas most affected are under the dripline of the eaves due to the weathering and runoff of leaded paints throughout the seasons.

Dear, Dr. Kris, I’ve read that living near heavy traffic and main roads increases the risk of lead contamination in the soil and is it bad for vegetable gardening? What are the risks or ways to make an edible garden in this situation? Thanks in advance, Jan.

Rejuvenating a poor soil is more involved then pouring fertiliser over the ground. Natural fertiisers such as cow dung and chicken manure need to be worked in along with compost over time to gradually improve the soil, otherwise try raised garden beds with a whole new ‘imported’ soil for an instant solution.

A recent Australian study led by RMIT University, Melbourne, found that 20% of edible home gardens are contaminated with levels of lead exceeding the safety guidelines of 300 mg/kg whereas natural background levels are usually in the range of 15-40mg/kg. The figure is worse in Sydney, where a similar study found 40 per cent of vegetable patches had levels of lead that exceeded the safety guidelines. I can imagine that a similar statistic plays out across gardens in most cities and crowded urban areas the world over. High levels of lead remain in the soil in urban areas - the result from adding the toxic metal to paint and petrol for decades. Living close to main roads is an issue due to lead accumulation in soils from traffic pollution. Vegetable gardens should be

A good diet with adequate amounts of calcium and phosphorous has been shown to reduce absorption of dietary lead. Similarly, those same two nutrients help reduce lead uptake in plants. Seaweed and spirulina when eaten have also been demonstrated to bind heavy metals and remove them from the body. It’s not clear from the studies whether you have to eat them concurrently with the potentially contaminated foods or just every now and then - so to be safe just put spirulina on everything. Any good soil will be ‘living’ filled with organic matter. Organic matter also helps bind the lead up in the soil, rendering it less available to plants. So, get composting, and adding it to the garden beds. Besides reducing lead uptake, it is also the key solution to a poor soil, producing healthier and more productive plants. Otherwise import a clean soil for an instant fix and a fresh start.

The soil is where a good garden starts, and if you have a poor soil you likely be limited in what you can grow. The main factors that affect soil quality for growing flowers, fruits and vegetables depend on whether it is sandy which will mean it tends to dry too quickly, or if it is clay which means there is less aeration and a tendency to waterlog.

As for lead contaminated soil which is sometimes an issue in urban areas, replacing the soil or amending it is also the solution. If you live near main roads, industrial areas or old buildings you would expect an elevated level of lead in your soil.

circumstances, but if the vegetables are covered in soil, or even an invisible layer of dust settles on fruit or leafy greens, you may be consuming lead from the soil in that way. All fruit and vegetables taken from the garden should be washed to remove all traces of soil before consumption.

I don’t think that there is a need to worry excessively about lead in the soil - just be cautious, be alert not alarmed!

Lead in the soil presents a risk if it is either inhaled or ingested. Lead in the soil can also be absorbed by vegetables grown in it. Children who play in the garden are also at risk. If living near main roads, consider growing vegetables in raised garden beds filled with clean imported soil and compost. Limit potential exposure by avoiding plants known to be lead accumulators such as low-growing leafy vegetables like lettuce, as well as root vegetables including carrots, onions, turnips and radishes. As a general rule, the worst affected vegetables are either unwashed or unpeeled root vegetables. Leafy greens can be affected although much of this could possibly be surface borne dust. The least affected plants are those that produce fruiting parts - whether or not we consider them ‘fruit’ or ‘vegetables’. There’s very little danger of lead toxicity in anything from tomatoes to papayas and pumpkins and all fruit trees in general.

Wash your edible plants, mulch your soil, and work in compost and organic matter which will help to bind any lead, reducing the bioavailability but also improving the overall soil health at the same time. On a final note – Old-school paints were up to 50% lead and even with newer layers painted over the top, the levels of lead left contained on the interior and exterior walls of old buildings are still likely to be high. The safe level of lead in food is measured in parts per million so it’s easy to see how disturbed, crumbling, scraped, sanded or flaking paint can be a major source of direct contamination – whether from inhalation or ingestion. Please be careful when renovating your home. Have a professional remove flaking exterior lead-based paint to prevent future contamination. Dr. Kris Garden Doctor Contact: gardendoctor@hotmail.com

Plants are fairly good at keeping lead out of themselves in most

Education & Family

School News Extracurricular Activities at Dyatmika At Dyatmika we aim to offer students a broad education, both inside and outside of the classroom. We are committed to providing a wide variety of opportunities, allowing our students to broaden their horizons, find their passion and extend their capabilities. The Extracurricular Programme at the school has been designed to complement and enhance the curriculum and is an important part of school life at Dyatmika. The school has continued to expand the range of activities offered during the last few years and more students than ever across the Primary and High School are now taking advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to them outside of their regular classes. At Dyatmika we categorise the Extracurricular Activities into three areas: Community - These activities focus on bringing Dyatmika together and developing the sense of family that the school is renowned for, as well as looking outward to our local community and beyond. They are excellent opportunities for students to discover and develop interests beyond their academic learning and classroom environment.

across the three categories, we offer a reward system for Extracurricular participation at Dyatmika. Students receive the award at the end of the school year, based on their commitment to clubs in each category. This year, more students than ever before have achieved Bronze, Silver and Gold C.A.S. Award. Next year the opportunities for students continue to expand, with the addition of exciting new activities across all age ranges. In Semester 1, students will be working towards the first ever school performance of the critically acclaimed musical ‘We Will Rock You’, to be performed in December. This production will involve around 70 students from Class 6 to Class 12 as performers, set designers, costume designers and make-up artists. The musical production is anticipated to be one of the highlights of the school calendar for 2019-2020. Opportunities for budding thespians are not limited to High School next year. In Semester 2 the Primary students are planning an original production. Our younger students are very excited for their time to shine on the stage.

Academic - These activities support and extend the learning that takes place in lessons. Students have a chance to focus on specific areas in smaller groups that allow them to really target the topic. Some students attend academic activities as part of the continuous support we offer at Dyatmika. This is to ensure that every student achieves their potential and can take full advantage of opportunities in the future. Sporting - Sport is an important part of life at Dyatmika. Whether students are interested in representing the school in the Bali School Sports Association (BSSA), joining the Dyatmika Basketball tour to Surabaya or just having fun with their friends playing badminton, students appreciate the need to stay active to maintain healthy bodies and minds. Apart from these sports, the students can also participate in other sports like swimming, touch football, karate and football. To encourage students to take part in a range of experiences

Another new experience for students next year is the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (commonly known as ‘DofE’) is the world’s leading youth achievement award. Research undertaken by the United Learning Trust credits it as the most important thing on a CV or university application after academic qualifications. DofE is widely recognised by schools, universities and employers. It nurtures independence, teamwork, commitment, community service and helps students to develop a range of life skills. An exciting part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is the adventurous journey (expedition) section. For this, students will complete two short expeditions, in Bali and Malaysia, involving an overnight camp and trekking. This unique experience will help to develop the students’ independence, teamwork and resilience. To prepare, students will complete regular training throughout the year, learning vital skills such as map-reading, basic first aid, cooking and fieldcraft. As many of our students have never experienced this type of activity they are eagerly anticipating the challenge. With a broad and interesting Extracurricular Programme that supports the excellent results achieved by our students at Dyatmika, we feel that they are in the best position possible to apply for, and gain acceptance to, top universities all over the world.

As already mentioned, the Dyatmika school community thrives on its relationship with the outside community and friendship, within a Balinese context. Next year our students will also have opportunities to learn Balinese language, Balinese calligraphy, dance and arts and crafts that characterise Balinese culture.

More than this, Dyatmika enables young people to experience positive personal growth. They are empowered to live their lives fully and well.

Restaurant Review

Simple Italian!

Sardinia at Trans City Mall offers simple Italian plus a good selection of local Indonesian dishes. Italian is mainly, as is Japanese, a simple cuisine, fresh quality ingredients being the main requirement.

Spring Rolls with sweet and sour, Prawn Rolls, minced prawn crepes with sweet chilli or Angry Potatoes with spicy tomato. Pasta, and Pizza, of course! What could be a simpler Italian dish than Spaghetti & Meat Balls? Because of that I ordered it, and was pleasantly surprised. The coarsely ground meat balls were way superior to the usual Bali “Bakso’ style. The pasta was ‘al dente’, as you would expect with an Aussie Italian as the overall General Manager, Anthony Bevilacqua [the man who launched Ku de ta]. A simple dish but when prepared by a chef with talent, a very good one.

Sardinia is the brother restaurant to Café Sardinia, possibly the most popular restaurant at Kuta’s Beachwalk, both places under the Cocoon management, so quality is not a problem. Owing to the large number of locals who visit daily to this new mall [and there will be even more when all the future planned facilities are available] a substantial local menu has been added to the original Italian one. Both of which are under the control of their International chef, Ketut Santi [ex Aman Resorts]. The starters include some Italian [an authentic Minestrone, a hot Salami Panini and a Grilled Calamari Salad] and many International ones; Burgers, Wraps, Tom Yum Goong and Thai Beef Salad. There are a few vegetarian some of which are also gluten free such as the Roasted Beetroot Salad [feta, rocket, orange, candied walnuts and a balsamic glaze] and a Super Food Salad of quinoa. chick peas, avocado, sunflower seeds, coriander, tangerine, mint, edamame, tomato, eggplant, zucchini and pepitas dressing. It is good to see such a modern international menu in a Bali shopping mall, how things have changed here over the years, with the tourist influence. Though Italian, rather than Spanish they also offer a range of Tapas, as is the norm these days are almost all restaurants. Salt & Pepper Calamari with lime aioli, Chicken & Vegetable

Other pasta dishes include Fettuccine [seafood or chicken and mushrooms], Penne [pesto or Carbonara], Gnocchi [Sorrentina, with Napoli sauce], Ravioli [spinach], Lasagna [beef] and Linguini; Alio Olio with prawns or Vongole [clams]. Your Risotto can be Seafood or Mushroom. Pizzas are all the standard ones plus a few specials [smoked chicken or the ‘Aussie’ with an egg]. If you prefer you can create your own pizza with all of your favourite ingredients, just select from the list.

QUICK REVIEW Restaurant : Sardinia Address : Trans City Mall, Imam Bonjol, West Denpasar. Telephone : 620.1266 Open : 10.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m., daily. Non-smoking Area : Inside Smoking Area : Street-side terrace Parking : Secure parking, in mall Price : Rp. 300,000 for two [+ drinks] Credit Cards : All major cards. Food : Italian & Indonesian Wine : Excellent list [many Italian] Service : Professional Atmosphere : Eating house Overall : Great taste, value, for a mall restaurant

Mains are Italian [Chicken Parmigiana], International or Indonesian. Steaks can be T-bone [300gm] or Tenderloin [200gm], with your choice of sauce. Fish & Chips [tempurabattered Barramundi], is everyone’s favourite as are the BBQ Pork Ribs. The Indonesian menu is quite extensive. Top of the list is a Gulai Kambing [pictured] an excellent spicy goat curry. Bali specials include Ayam Bakar and an Ayam Kecap as well as the Udang Sune Cekuh, grilled prawns tossed in garlic, wild ginger and other Bali spices. The Ikan Bakar Dabu-Dabu is grilled Barramundi with that sauce of tomato, shallot, chilli and basil. Dessert [white chocolate Creme Brulee, Apple & Raisin Crumble] and an attractive Kid’s Menu of mini portions all at Rp.25,000 each completes a menu with something for almost everyone. For a shopping mall restaurant, it is all very impressive. Good taste, good value and very professional.

Update Warung d’Uma Tapan is my latest discovery. A new style

warung, it serves restaurant food at warung prices. A team of talented young Balinese professionals have taken over this site and are making an impact with their mix of local and international dishes. It is a simple, yet attractive, two level site just past and opposite to the entrance to the Kasih Ibu Hospital at Saba, in Gianyar. Starters can be their excellent Vegetarian Spring Rolls or an interesting Pomelo Salad with prawns. Chicken Wings are on hundreds of Bali menus but the ones here are the best I have ever tried; soft flesh covered with a tangy, slightly sweet BBQ sauce, this dish is almost too good to share, so order one each. A great snack dish is their Rice Bowls; Teriyaki Tofu or Chicken, Babi Kecap, Chicken Sambal Matah. For me the best one was the Pomelo Chicken, tender chicken, crumbed and coated with a tangy pomelo and orange sauce, quite outstanding. Mains are highlighted by their house special, Kwetiau; Chicken [pictured] with an egg roll on top, Pork, Seafood or Tofu. The international mains are all chicken based, Parmigiana, Black Pepper Steak or a surprisingly good Cordon Bleu [even spelt correctly]. With Buckets of Beer [5 bottles and a small bowl of French Fries] for only Rp.95,000 the place is even becoming popular with the passing surfing community on their way back from the nearby beach.

Raja Rasa Waroeng on the Bypass at Nusa Dua is a

special spot for their version of a Rijsttafel, Rp. 490,000 for two persons. Many a la carte items as well, local [duck curry, satays] and international [schnitzels, burgers, etc].

Sala Bistro, Jln.Danau Tamblingan, Sanur is a popular

café, in front of the Swiss-Bel hotel, serving burgers of every possible colour, including the charcoal ones so popular with the Japanese. Good breakfast and great coffee. Their Lava Cake is the attraction for many chocolate lovers. Both international and local dishes are on offer, BBQ Pork Ribs and Nasi Goreng which they treat almost as a specialty of the house.

Usha Café is found on the hill between Lod Tunduh and Pengosekan. It is with parking and offers Russian food from the Ukraine including that famous soup Borscht [beetroot], Chebureks and Varaneki [dumplings]. This location has been a previous failure but this management change seems to have worked as now quite often very busy. They offer something very different for the Ubud area. Open early for breakfast, their black currant lemonade is amazing! Great value too. Cosmic Diners began with their first one on Sunset Road.

They are retro American, straight from the 50’s. Now there are three; Lippo Mall in Tuban and the amazing train carriage on The Bypass, just South of Sanur. So Burgers and Milkshakes [giant ones in a glass boot] are their forte, but there is much more as well [terrific rice bowls, hearty breakfasts, etc]. The Caesar Salad is a classic and you can even order extra bacon [crispy of course]. There are also many healthy options, avocado many ways. The first one on Sunset Road is almost next door to the Golden Arches, yet hamburgers are still their best seller. Meat, hand processed in the kitchen always beats the factory processed patties. The always-smiling staff also help to produce a relaxed and enjoyable visit.

Da Romeo is on Jln. Pantai Berawa, Canggu. It is very Italian and very popular. Carpaccio can be traditional beef or tuna but the starter that most regular diners order is their Burrata con Pomodorini, an amazing Italian cheese, mozzarella on the outside and cream inside, simply served with just tomatoes and basil, drizzled with olive oil. The marinated sardines are another favourite. Many different pastas but Pici is their specialty, an unusual pasta from

Tuscany. Also Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Ravioli and Ravolini, Lasagne and Gnocchi. Only the Fettuccine is alla Bolognese as true Italians would never do it with spaghetti, as it needs a wider pasta with the thick meat sauce. Mains include Chicken in lemon butter, Veggie Balls and Octopus, something only the Italians know how to cook, here simply grilled and served with a salsa verde. They also have a full range of Pizzas, of course. Indoor and outside seating, but only open for dinner, only a small space so prior booking is advised.

Kokoyo is on Jln, Danau Tamblingan, Sanur. Established

for many years and on the outside looks a bit dated but still enjoys a faithful following. All the standard Japanese dishes with a large selection of Sushi. The Fried Salmon Skin is a great starter, better than crisps. As with most Asian restaurants, there is quite a good vegetarian selection. Open for dining much later than is normal in Sanur.

Jasmine Kitchen is one of Bali’s better Thai restaurant,

yet it is hidden down a small laneway in Lovina, unknown and unseen by millions. A large table downstairs and a scattering of small ones on the upstairs open area [there is a small breeze on even the hottest day] combines with knowledgeable service and real Thai tastes from the kitchen. Their Banana Flower Salad [shredded banana flower, chicken and green beans tossed with coconut milk, lemon and chilli and served in a full banana flower] and Green Papaya Salad [chunks of papaya with finely grated coconut, chilli, lemon juice and crushed peanuts] are both very traditional and done to perfection. All of the Massaman Curries [chicken, prawns of just vegetables] are luscious with that rich tamarind flavour in the thick coconut milk sauce. Occasional daily specials can include the most perfect Rice Paper Rolls [fat ones stuffed with prawns, bean sprouts, spring onions and crushed peanuts] the accompanying dipping sauce of pureed coriander and lime is pure Thai! From time to time the food can be a little bit too much on the sweet side, good Thai should always be a mix of hot, sweet and sour, but for Lovina, quite amazing!

Tumpek Landep – Saturday 25 May

Betelnut Movie and Pechakucha Night – 29 and 31 May

If you see a lot of cars and motorcycles festooned with offerings and decorations attached to mirrors, wipers, front grille or handlebars you will know it’s Tumpek Landep day, a Balinese festival that pays homage to items made of metal including cars, motorcycles, computers and even refrigerators. It used to be just for items that were sharp (landep) such as daggers and spears. However, over time the meaning of this ceremony has broadened and now includes all metal objects, whether sharp or not. Tumpek Landep also honours ‘taksu’, the role of divine inspiration. It is an important part of the Balinese festival cycle and celebrated all over the island

On Wednesday the 29th a 2015 movie ‘Tangerines’ will be screened, a touching anti-war story about Estonians who find themselves in the middle of someone else’s war, the 1992 war in the Abkhazeti region of Georgia where local Abkhazians are fighting to break free from Georgia. The movie stars an Estonian man Ivo who has stayed behind in a mountain village to harvest his crops of tangerines. In a conflict at his door, a wounded man is left behind, and Ivo is forced to take him in. But they are from opposite sides of the war. How do they handle it? How do the enemies act under third-party roof? It’s for you to find out.

Local News Bali to host world surfing championship Bali is to host the 3rd series of surfing competitions from the World Surfing League or WSL Champions Tour 2019 which is planned to be held at Keramas Beach in Gianyar district, Bali, on May 13-25, 2019. The Tourism Ministry’s Assistant Deputy on Marketing Development for Regional III, Ricky Fauziyani, said here Sunday that Indonesia was chosen as one of the 11 series of world surfing championship competitions from WSL. “From Australia to Indonesia, then Brazil, South Africa, North America, France, and Hawaii. This is proof that Indonesia has world-class surfing destinations,” said Ricky. This championship entitled Corona Bali ProTected will be participated in by 56 surfers comprising 37 male surfers and 19 female surfers included in the list of the world’s top surfers. While the Chairperson of the Tourism Ministry’s Maritime Tourism Acceleration Team, Indroyono Soesilo, added that the government is looking at surfing potential as an Indonesian tourist attraction for foreign tourists. “The government sees great potential from surfing. That’s why, starting last year, we worked with WSL and provided support for several surfing events held in Indonesia,” he said. Indroyono said that Indonesia should be grateful to be blessed with many beaches with waves spread along the western and southern coast of the Indian Ocean and the coast of the Pacific Ocean. “Indonesia has hundreds of surf beaches, 30 of which are world-class surfing locations. Of these 30 locations, 11 of them are the venue for WSL 2019 so that this will place Indonesia as the number one surfing destination in the world,” Indroyono Soesilo said. [Antara May 12, 2019] Australian DJ dies at Bali resort after smashing window, suffering massive bleeding: police An Australian DJ popular on the Asian club circuit was found dead after suffering massive bleeding from an injury at a resort complex on the Indonesian island of Bali, police said Monday. Adam Neat’s official social media pages carried a statement confirming his death, saying he died while trying to help a friend who suffered multiple fractures on Saturday. Indonesian police said they are still investigating the death of the 42-yearold performer, who used the stage name Adam Sky. An initial police report seen by The Associated Press said Neat suffered a deep and wide cut to his arm that caused massive bleeding. Local police chief Dody Monza said the body was found lying near a bathroom in his bedroom by two housekeepers at Hillstone Villa where the DJ stayed in Bali, a few minutes after they heard a woman scream for help. Police said a 22-year-old Russian woman described as a friend of Neat’s was found naked beside the villa with a broken leg, while bloodstained glass fragments were found in Neat’s room. Police did not say how the woman was injured. Police Detective Muhammad Nurul Yaqin said a preliminary investigation showed that Neat was drunk at the time and smashed a glass window in his bedroom. Part of the broken window fell on his right arm, causing severe bleeding, he said. “We cannot conclude yet whether he intended to break the glass or accidentally hit it,” he said. Monza said Neat’s wife arrived in Bali after his death and refused an autopsy. “We are still investigating this case despite an autopsy refusal by Neat’s wife,” he said. Neat’s website says he has toured with artists including Taio Cruz and The Scissor Sisters. [Associated Press May 7, 2019] Indian tourist lost at sea from Devil’s Tear cliff on Nusa Lembongan The popular seaside cliff setting of “Tebing Batut Belek” or, as it is known in English, “Devil’s Tear” on Bali’s Nusa Lembongan Island has claimed another life. The latest victim is an Indian National, Kausal Aditya (24), who was swept from the cliff’s edge by a large wave on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 and is now “lost at sea” and presumed dead. As reported by Balipost.com, following the Indian’s disappearance an emergency search was commenced but to no avail. Prior to the incident, Kausal Aditya was staying together with fellow-traveler Agrawal Kshitiz (31) at the Villa Kusuma Abianta. Before being swept into the sea below, the two, who had arrived at Devil’s Tear by motorcycle, were seen making “selfie” photographs at the ocean’s edge. Startled bystanders saw Aditya struggling in the high waves and current before finally disappearing into the water. Efforts to reach the Indian by local boat failed. Agrawal Kshitiz, however, managed to make it to shore, suffering only minor cuts and abrasions. A rescue team using rigid-bottom zodiacs have been sweeping a radius of 1-2 nautical miles in an effort to recover the tourist’s body. There have been numerous fatalities recorded at Devil’s Tear due to large waves frequently of large waves buffeting the shoreline. [balidiscovery.com May 13, 2019]

28 Policy loopholes turn Indonesia into dumping site: Environmentalists Environmentalists have called on the Trade Ministry to immediately revise its 2016 regulation on waste imports, saying it contains several loopholes that have turned Indonesia into a dump site for developed countries. The activists argued that even though developed nations, excluding the United States, had recently agreed to restrict global waste trade, Indonesia still needed to tighten its policies to prevent plastic waste smuggling. A Greenpeace report issued in April shows that there has been an increase in the shipment of plastic waste from developed countries to developing nations, including Indonesia, since China banned waste imports. The Chinese ban on imports of 24 types of waste material went into effect in February 2018. Waste imports to Indonesia soared from 10,000 tonnes per month in late 2017 to 35,000 tonnes per month in late 2018. According to Greenpeace data, the top plastic waste exporter to Indonesia is Britain with 67,807 tonnes between January and November 2018, followed by Germany with 59,668 tonnes and Australia with 42,130 tonnes. Germany recorded a steep increase after exporting only 408 tonnes in the corresponding period in the preceding year. Environmental group Bali Fokus claimed that the 2016 Trade Ministry regulation on non-hazardous and toxic waste imports made it possible for certain parties to smuggle “unneeded” waste into the country. The regulation allows the import of, among other materials, plastic, metal and paper to support local industries, but it requires plastic importers to obtain approval from the Environment and Forestry Ministry only. It classifies plastic as Category B waste that should undergo inspection by independent inspectors before being imported and by customs officials upon arrival in Indonesian ports. “Metal and paper waste importers are not required to acquire such a document,” Bali Fokus co-founder Yuyun Ismawati said. The policy was problematic, she argued, since scrap metal and waste paper falls into Category A, which does not require inspections before and during import. “This loophole has been used (by several companies) to import hazardous plastic waste, with exporters reportedly slipping non-recyclable plastic waste into the imported package,” she said. According to a field observation conducted by Bali Fokus and East Java-based environmental group Ecoton, 25 to 40 per cent of imported waste in Greater Jakarta and East Java is

mismanaged - being dumped in open fields or burned rather than being recycled. Evidence of this could be found in Bangun village in Mojokerto, East Java, where local scavengers have found plastic packaging from Australia and Britain, among other countries. They also found ripped banknotes in various currencies, such as the US dollar, the British pound and the euro.

The villagers reportedly get the waste from a paper recycling company in the neighboring regency of Pasuruan. A truckload of waste costs 500,000 rupiah (S$47.50). The Environment and Forestry Ministry concurred with the environmentalists, saying there was a need to tighten the rules on waste imports. According to the Trade Ministry regulation, the Environment and Forestry Ministry has the authority to issue recommendations for industries that meet the requirements for importing non-hazardous waste. “We want to tighten the policy. We ask these industries to only import clean plastic rubbish that is designated to be immediately recycled rather than sold to other parties,” said Environment and Forestry Ministry waste management director general Rosa Vivien Ratnawati. Last Friday, the United Nations agreed to amend the Basel Convention, an international treaty that controls the movement of hazardous waste between countries. The amendment includes plastic in the treaty, requiring exporters to “obtain the consent of receiving countries before shipping most contaminated and mixed plastics waste that is difficult or even impossible to recycle”.

Bali bombings site ‘worth less than half’ asking sale price There has been another twist in the recently intensified battle to turn one of the 2002 Bali bombing sites into a green space for reflection. The Bali Peace Park Association (BPPA) claims it’s obtained official documents showing that the Indonesian Government this year valued the 800-square-metre property at about $2 million. That’s almost $3 million dollars less than what Sari Club landowners have agreed to sell for, and almost $12,000 less if their demand for compensation is also included. The BPPA said it has now withdrawn the offer it made “under false pretenses” this week to buy the Kuta land for $4.9 million dollars, and instead put forward a new offer understood to be about $2.5 million dollars. The move comes as peace park campaigners won an apparent ally in their fight, with the local Mayor Nyoman Giri Prasta promising to stop landowners from forging ahead with construction of a five-storey restaurant on the site until final negotiations are had. Bali Governor Wayan Koster has also intervened, telling landowners to reduce their demands because a good relationship between Indonesia and Australia is a higher priority. “Firstly and foremost I respect that it is private property. But the landowner also has to see the bigger picture - The relationship between two countries, between Indonesia and Australia,” Mr Koster told the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. “Australia has contributed a lot to Indonesia and to Bali, by bringing so many tourists to Bali. “This needs to be considered. There are bigger goals. We

have to preserve the relationship between Indonesia and Australia.” Talks reached a stalemate this week when both parties agreed on the $4.9 million sale price, but just as the BPPA was about to celebrate, owners demanded an extra $9 million in compensation for anticipated business losses. The peace park would be the second memorial with a monument already erected across the road to honour the lives of 202 people, including 88 Australians, killed in the twin-club attacks.

Jokowi hints Gunung Mas, Kalimantan as future capital city President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, during his visit to Kalimantan today, mentioned that Gunung Mas in Central Kalimantan is currently the most qualified location to replace Jakarta as the country’s capital city. “Based on the area’s vastness, this location is arguably the most qualified. It may be the most prepared to provide 300 hectares of land which can be expanded if needed,” said the president during his survey in the Gunung Mas Regency today, May 8. His visit marks Gunung Mas as one of three prospective locations for Indonesia’s future capital city other than Palangka Raya and Katingan Regency. As mentioned by the president, Indonesia’s first president Soekarno once visioned Palangka Raya as a capital city and defends that Soekarno must have had strong reasons upon choosing this area. “[Soekarno] must have considered it based on specific reasons with major significance. That should also be considered. A decision would not be announced without it being backed by data-based arguments and facts,” Widodo said in a press release from Bey Machmudin, head of the presidential protocol and press bureau. The former Solo Mayor president deemed that the area geologically imposes a minimum risk of being struck by major

natural disasters and that its infrastructure construction must be built from zero. He also assured that a special team will continue to conduct a thorough analysis of the three regions considered as capital candidates before announcing the final decision. “I came to do this field visits as to get the that ‘feeling’. A better appraisal of the location could only be gained once this ‘feel’ is attained,” said Jokowi who was accompanied by state ministers from ministries critical for the future development plan.
