GREENSPEAK Mindful Dining

One of the pleasures of being in Bali is the amazing range of wonderful food that’s available in the tourist areas. You name it -- Indonesian, French, Turkish, Cuban, Chinese, Thai, Indian, vegetarian -- someone is making it, usually quite well. It’s all very pleasant… and very anomalous. There must be very few places in the developing world where international diners expect and receive this level of dining quality and diversity. But where are the ingredients for all this food coming from? The four corners of the earth: North and South America, Australia, Europe, even Africa. There’s something very wrong with this picture. Much -- maybe most -- of the food on the plates of Bali’s better restaurants is produced industrially (you can’t produce food intensively without chemical inputs) and travels tens of thousands of kilometres. Actually, quite a lot of it could be produced right here.

not, with most of the argument coming from the context of the United States. Here in Bali we are looking at a very different set of circumstances; doesn’t it make a lot more sense to source quality ingredients from Indonesia than to Ày them in from Chile or France?

Why eat locally produced food? We know what we’re eating by buying from known chemical-free growers. The food is fresher and more nutritious. We support our local community of growers and producers and reduce carbon footprint. Because it’s not produced on an industrial scale, this food may not be cheaper. As with everything else, we pay more for quality. I know it’s not realistic for tamu here to eat 100% Indonesiangrown foods. We need our olive oil, butter and cheese.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Rogue Raider by Nigel Barley Rogue Raider is a WW I adventure story of how one ship, the Emden, tied up the navies of four nations while successfully evading every enemy war ships that was dispatched to destroy it. At one point, there were 15 British and Australian vessels scouring the seas hunting for the Emden. Sloppy British security and u n c o d e d r a d i o t r a ff i c allowed the Emden to keep easy track of its heavier armed pursuers and so avoided them. The ship’s audacious exploits singed the British lion’s beard, showed it to be toothless and stupid and roused native contempt against The Crown. Yet she was a very unlikely hero ship, obsolete as soon as she was built, a cumbersome old piston-driven light-cruiser streaked with corrosion, coal grime and oil, its sides hung with dirty old tires. The Emden was not intended to ¿ght other armed vessels but to prey upon helpless merchantmen in Indonesian waters and around the great British lake known as the Indian Ocean. The ship was designed to be “a school bully that kicked little kids and took their sweets off them, but if anyone her own size or a teacher turned up, she would run away.” With coal ships for refuelling and escort vessels chugging behind, the Emden steams around Bali, Lombok and Portuguese Timor before entering the Indian Ocean with its rich sea lanes full of British and cargo ships and troop transports. Julius Lauterbach, the main character, is an officer aboard the Emden. He is also braggart, a womaniser and a heavy drinker. Lauerbach astutely looted Àour, sausage, soap, tobacco, radio equipment, Indian tea, Cognac and other abundant supplies, anything to keep the his ship aÀoat. After his ship is sunk, Lauterbach becomes an accidental hero as he eludes agents in his desperate yet hilarious attempt to regain his native land. In the ¿nal resolution of the plot, the Lusitania is sunk by the Germans in 1915 and the cowardly act completely undoes the good will, chivalry and humanity practiced by the captain and crew of the Emden. Though a ¿ctionalized account, the narrative is based on real events that were deliberately suppressed by the authorities as too embarrassing and too dangerous to be revealed. This is history that fell through the cracks. In the telling, Barley delights in words and shows an enviable writing style, at turns rich, sparkling with wit and at other times spare and brutal with images that are burned into the mind. In his wonderful description of Lauterbach, the gritty rascal and fugitive of many disguises, who “crushed life’s grape against his palate and happily spat out the pips,” the author has metamorphosed himself into an old sea salt. On the pages of this adventure story, Barley demonstrates an admirable command of sailor’s jargon like “japes,” “duckings,” and “bully” and such an impeccable ear for Chinese pidgin as spoken below decks that some of the dialog made me want to put the book down and laugh out loud. Peppering his prose with sexual innuendo, this writer’s ambisexual instincts are such that he can write just as sensually of heterosexual exploits in this book as he can of homosexual love in his Island of the Demons about the lives of artists Walter Spies and Aries Emit. Nigel Barley is an ardent and passionate student of history, in which the English love of understatement is on full display,

and he is especially adept at interpreting and evoking the long-vanished British colonial empire in Asia. As was the case in his previous book In the Footsteps of RafÀes, he loves a swashbuckling tale in the faraway lands of the Orient. An anthropologist by trade, he spent time with the Dowayo people of North Cameroon and worked for many years the Ethnography Department of the British Museum.

Perhaps it was his con¿nement in the dark basements among the relics of that mammoth depository in grey chilly London where he nurtured such a lively imagination for larger than life characters of bygone eras before Westernization when exotic ports of call like Madras, Rangoon, Singapore and Calcutta still harboured rich tapestries of cultures and races built upon layers upon layers of history. Lauterbach with six other prisoners ultimately escapes Singapore’s Tanglin POW camp by boat across the Strait of Melaka to the east coast of Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies. With a reward of 10,000 English pounds on his head dead or alive, the motley fugitives made their way to Siak, dealing all the way with petty Dutch of¿cials, harbourmasters and customs of¿cers. The small group then trekked across the Bukit Barisan range, eventually arriving after many hardships in Padang on the island’s west coast. From Padang, Lauterbach reached Bengkulu from where he took a steamer to Batavia, at the time the colonial capital of the Indies, a beautiful city of wide empty avenues, sleepy tree-lined canals, horse carriages trotting down leafy lanes, imposing government edi¿ces with stately white columns and elite European residential areas of splendid private homes. Lauterbach hung out in the Harmonie Society Club, a famous venue for grand balls, state functions and heavy drinking Dutch, German and British planters and merchants. Constructing elaborate tales and posing variously as a blonde Swedish traveler and a representative of a D u t c h printing house, Lauterbach makes his way to Makassar in Sulawesi and from there traverses stormy seas in a 15 foot boat to reach Mindanao in the Philippines. Always keeping one step ahead of his pursuers, he ¿nally reaches Manila and Shanghai. The second half of the book which chronicles the main character as a war criminal on the run does not match the excitement and high drama of the ¿rst half of the book which traces the destructive path of the Emden which is told with great wit and authentic Àavour of the sea. I found myself yearning for the predatory ship to go on the rampage again – looting and sinking vessels, ransacking ports - even after it had been destroyed. Written by one of the most literate of our writers specializing in Southeast Asia, in its realistic accounts of naval battles and visceral and thrilling descriptions of of a lost maritime age, Rogue Raider brings vividly to life the Southeast Asia of the period, its sights, its sounds and its rich mix of peoples. It is Barley’s best book so far and the most accessible for readers who are new to this ¿ne writer’s work.

THE HORSE RESCUER By Shari

Horses are not just beautiful but highly intelligent and sensitive animals that deserve our respect and caring treatment. The horses in Bali are truly blessed to have this amazing woman named Serena, who runs the Sabastian Horse Foundation. Her calling in life is to help horses who have suffered trauma or are being abused or neglected. BAWA calls her if they get a report of a horse being mistreated; Serena goes to their rescue. A little over a year ago I had an accident with a horse named Parantos on the beach in Canggu which dislocated my shoulder. Afterwards I wrote a story about the incident and a few weeks later was contacted by a woman named Serena asking if the horse had any physical or emotional problems. I honestly didn’t know and she explained that she is a horse trainer and rehabilitates horses. She agreed to meet me at the stable the following week to evaluate the horse. Immediately I liked this brown haired English woman. We discovered that we had a mutual love of horses since we were children and had been riding virtually our whole lives. Serena holds certi¿cates in horse master and instructor from the British Horse Society and became pro¿cient in dressage, horse jumping and cross country and has been a horse trainer for the past 35 years. We knew that Parantos was afraid of the ocean on the beach, or more speci¿cally the waves. I wasn’t the ¿rst person to have a problem with him on the beach, but we didn’t know what trauma caused this fear. Within half an hour of meeting Parantos, Serena pointed out the curve in his spine, the lack of Àexibility of his legs, the tense chest and shoulder muscles and the fear in his eyes when she showed him a whip. It was obvious that one had been used on him in the past. Using some pressure point therapy on him she began to loosen the tight muscles and he started sweating in these areas, which meant the toxins were coming out. I was amazed to see the transformation in Parantos in such a short time. “Can you understand a horse speaking?” I cautiously asked, wondering if she is a “horse whisperer”. “Yes. Sometimes I see pictures of the trauma that the horse has suffered.” She replied. “Can you help him?” I asked her. “Yes. But he will need several sessions of training to rehabilitate him, depending on how deep his trauma is.” Serena knew the owner of the stable who also happens to own a TV station. Over lunch we concocted a plan to make a proposal to the owner to permit the training and send out the TV crew to ¿lm the sessions to be made into a documentary to educate people on the intelligence of horses and how to treat them properly. From here a friendship blossomed to not only help Parantos but also many other horses. Watching her work with the horses I learned a great deal. She teaches the True Half Halt method in riding, which is the missing link between horse and rider, rediscovered and perfected by Henri Gerard Bouzar. It is a progression, not a technique or a method, but a progression of educating with feeling to bring back the sensitivity, obedience, attention and concentration to the horse ( which has been lost through the traditional the push>< pull method that is taught all over the world) using no force or controlling debilitating equipment such as nose bands, martingales etc. The progression starts off with small gentle movements of raising the hands then forming a little half circle then moving back down to descend the hands, but only in the beginning of the schooling as there will be no need for any movement at all by the ¿nish of the schooling. These movements progress through the schooling

getting smaller and smaller until they disappear very quickly, and the link between horse and rider becomes one seamless energy field, rendering the horse safe, supple, relaxed, yet motivated, using half the energy he would normally use and be capable of performing extremely high school movements which have been lost for over 400 years. It is a universal knowledge known to all horses, which brings to them an extremely huge sense of relief when they are presented with this kind of gentle knowledgeable communication. It is very good for rehabilitating seriously dangerous horses in a very short amount of lessons as the True Half Halt also rebalances the mental and emotional body. Serena has been studying this for over 15 years now with hundreds of horses and it still amazes her how fast, effective and gentle this progression is quickly established. One of Parantos’ problems was a skin disease similar to mange. Checking the other horses in the stable a few of the others had the same problem. Serena attributed this to their diet of pellets imported from Java, which essentially has very little nutrition and is like eating Indomie every day. She recommended putting the horses on a diet which includes fresh grass plus bean sprouts, sprouted oats, carrots and chopped up coconut and moringa with vitamin B complex and calcium. To treat the skin problem she suggested using soap nuts, which is a natural soap sold at Bali Buda and Earth Café. Mixing the soap with water and bathing the horse with it will resolve the skin problem allowing the hair to grow back quickly, however for permanent solution the diet needs to be changed from the import pellets. Parantos’ schooling began inside his stall where Serena introduced a short whip to him. Fear was evident in his eyes as he moved away from her. As she held him ¿rmly she stroked the whip over his body until he began to relax and realize that he wouldn’t be hurt. The next lesson she brought in a long whip and went through the same protocol. Eventually he got over his fear but still was very nervous when she spun the whip around producing a whirling sound. Next the horse was taken to a small circular ring outdoors to lunge him. Using voice commands she asked him to walk calmly around her and began teaching him the half halt. She uses a lunging cavason halter for training with a ring attached to the top of the nose band and the lunge line connected to this. Instead of pulling his head down with a traditional lunging method his head was lifted up enabling him to engage his hindquarters. Asking him to walk faster he began to protest because the muscles in his back legs weren’t used to being stretched. Sweat began to break out on his hindquarters, signifying he was detoxing. Then she encouraged him to trot, which brought out more sweat. He kept trying to break into a canter to avoid stretching his legs in a trot, but she immediately corrected him. After a few lessons in the ring he was responding very well to not just the subtle signals and also voice commands. At the end of the workout she just asked Parantos to come to her which he did and stood calmly in front of her. As she stroked his head he gradually lowered it down to her knees, this was a sign that he now trusted her. You could also see the sweat over his eyes and around his ears signifying that he was thinking, that his brain was alert. Now Parantos was ready to go to the beach to see how he reacted. Leading him to the beach he was calm and compliant. Upon arriving at the beach he remained calm, even when he was lead into the water above his knees. The following day a stable boy named Kadek rode the horse to the beach and walked with him in the water. No problem. No sign of fear. Serena explained

that Parantos wasn’t traumatized by the water in the past, but simply he had learned to use his only defense of Àight skills to avoid an uncomfortable situation, namely the push and pull methods that he had been subjected to all his life. His mouth and sides had lost their sensitivity. His body had become a bundle of tight muscles. Back in the ring, Serena continued to put Parantos through his paces, stretching his muscles that he hadn’t used for a long time. Finally she allowed him to canter obeying her every command. The ¿nal test was allowing him to canter on the beach in a safe manner for his rider without fear that he would try to run or throw his rider off. That was a happy day for everyone. Parantos is now a safe and happy horse to ride. I recently met a client of Serena’s who lives in Jakarta and is a member of JPEC Riding Club Sentul. She bought Romeo in early 2012 but soon realized that Romeo had some serious behavioral issues. He was both dominant and nervous, a clear sign of lack of discipline and stress. This manifested in various ways: charging anyone who entered his paddock; running restlessly back and forth along his top fence; nipping anyone who approached him while tied up; overrunning anyone leading him; bucking when asked to canter or jump; spooking at minor provocations. She began taking steps to correct his behavior but it was inconsistent. Then she met Serena in late 2012 and from the ¿rst time Serena rode Romeo, she could see she commanded both attention and discipline very effectively but without force. She describes Serena’s methods as education, teaching both Romeo and his owner to communicate more effectively. When Romeo ¿rst came to her, she had modest goals for them. She wanted him to be a con¿dent horse, free of discomfort and fear and safe to ride, to be able to take him on rides without becoming stressed (and therefore dangerous). She also wanted to be able to complete a full round of jumps without bucking or spooking. They have achieved all these things, and can begin setting new goals that she had previously thought would be beyond their reach. Serena has given Romeo an incredible gift. The Sebastian Horse Foundation is a nonpro¿t horse sanctuary to rescue abused horses or those that their owners have given up on. A couple of horses she bought off the truck, that were being carted off to the slaughter house simply because the owner didn’t know what to do with his horse. On her farm north of Ubud she currently has ten horses that have been rescued and rehabilitated. After she rehabilitates a horse she “adopts” them out to a good home on the condition that she will check in occasionally to make sure the horse is being properly treated. The horses in Bali are truly lucky to have Serena here to help them. If you’d like to make a contribution to Sabastian Horse Foundation to help rescue and rehabilitate more horses or have a horse that needs rehabilitating contact unitywithhorses@gmail. com. She conducts seminars and education clinics not just in Bali but Java also as part of the Academy of Artistic Equitation, which is the highest form of education on horses. For more details on the True Half Halt a package of 4 books by Henri Gerard Bouzar including a free DVD is available from Sebastian Horse Foundation. Horses deserve to be treated well and with respect. “It’s so sad that so many of the most con¿dent and kindest of horse lovers are still riding the horses that they say that they love, but continue to kick them to get them to move and pull on the mouth. And constantly use equipment on us that damages us mentally, emotionally and spiritually. If you really love us, please give the above info some attention. We can feel a Ày land on our coat, we don’t need kicking and we don’t need to be forced into a false position with torturous equipment. Try it on yourself. With love and gratitude, be kind to horses.” From Parantos

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz)

C/Ns/A-25 Dec 13

Eggplant, melanzane, terong, aubergine no matter how you say it, my garden was festooned with these purple beauties and I was craving vegetables. I cut a few off the stalks, clipped some fresh basil and returned to the kitchen to come up with this simple but oh so satisfying dish. And how easily it can be varied depending on your taste desires at the moment and the herbs on hand. Super Easy Roasted Eggplant with Garlic and Basil Serves 4 Ingredients: - 1 1/2 Tbl. olive oil - 4 purple Asian eggplants - the long ones - 8 cloves of garlic, unpeeled - Amed sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

If you can find organic eggplants all the better. Wash and dry them and cut in half length wise so you have long halves. Rub the cut sides in the oil in the pan and brush the skins with oil too. Sprinkle with a little sea salt. Toss in the garlic. Bake the eggplants cut side down for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Using a spatula to keep all the delicious brown parts intact, carefully turn them over and bake another ten minutes until soft. Remove the baking pan from the oven and let the eggplants and garlic cool. Just before ready to eat squeeze the garlic onto the cut sides of the eggplant and spread using two cloves per piece. Grind on some fresh black pepper and a bit more sea salt. Scatter torn basil leaves over the tops and viola’ you have a super easy delicious veggie dish. Buon Appetite!

- 12 fresh basil leaves Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the oil on the bottom of a baking pan just big enough to hold all the eggplant halves.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all of you that are reading this and may all your dreams come true in 2014. Sounds a bit ‘ginger peachy’ but it is, at this time of year, that many of us do pause and think, to take stock of the year nearly ¿nished and make new year resolutions for the year to come. So I wish y’all well. Especially to all those that I have interviewed and written about this year who obligingly gave up their time and showed me what they are up to.

Sailing Wanitas

This year started off with two articles about women who have sailed in Indonesian waters. Firstly, the story of Captain Ruth who has had many great adventures sailing from Darwin to Bali. She even competed in the classic Sydney to Hobart race with an all-girl c r e w. T h e n a fascinating story about Rose de Freycinet a remarkable and brave French woman who in 1817, at 22 years old, snuck on board the French corvette Uranie to join her somewhat older husband, Captain Louis de Freycinet on a three year circumnavigation of scienti¿c discovery. She chopped off her hair, dressed as a man and hid on board until the Uranie departed the port of Toulon. By the time they got to this part of the world all was forgiven and the Governor of Timor even put on a splendid ball to celebrate her arrival. She must have loved old Louis a great deal.

Fremantle to Bali Race and Rally 2013

Next came an article about the Fremantle to Bali Race and Rally 2013, an event sponsored by the Indonesian government through the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy that arrived in Bali in May. The event is held every two years and attempts to attract overseas Skippers to sail in Indonesian waters. The government is bending over backwards to get more yachts here as the economic spinoffs to remote coastal villages and provinces are obvious. The previous event in 2011 attracted about 20 yachts whereas this year the numbers were up. Not a bad effort considering the amount of uncertainty around the globe at the moment. After the main Race and Rally event was ¿nished many Skippers went to explore other parts of Indonesia. They sailed eastwards along the archipelago from Bali to the Spice Islands. This is yet another example that recognizes the potential of Indonesia as a cruising destination.

Party like a Pirate

Then came two articles about having some fun out on the water. The Pirate Dinner Cruise Party put on by Sea Safari Cruises leaves from Benoa Harbour where you ¿nd yourself on the deck of a large phinisi with a whole bunch of people dressed as pirates. Yes party like a pirate. It is a two hour twilight cruise that packs in so much entertainment and food and drink that you are disappointed when you get back to the dock. Also going a bit further out to sea is Waka Sailing’s well organised day trip that will take you to their luxury resort at NusaBay - Nusa Lembongan. A chance to have some ocean and island fun without taking a big chunk out your time. Bali has a totally different feel

From the sea it is huge and completely dominates the surrounding topography. Also being out on the ocean is a sure way to relax and can be a welcome break. You can meet some new people, enjoy the ocean, soak up the panorama, take photos and don’t forget it is a lot cooler out on the water.

Sail Indonesia 2013

The biggest event this year, as in most years was Sail Indonesia 2013 and naturally it got a great deal of coverage. About 80 yachts left Darwin on Saturday 27 July for what must be one of the most remarkable sailing events going. One way to describe the Sail Indonesia Rally is that it is like a three month sailing Cook’s Tour for yachts with planned stopovers in remote and some not so remote coastal villages. At these stopovers the locals put on a welcome ceremony that includes dance, music and local food. The Indonesian government helps out too by making the paperwork easier and has a few government boats accompanying the Àeet. This year’s Bali stopover was at Lovina in the waters in front of the dolphin statue on 18-23 September as it is a designated visa renewal stop.

Sailing with Kids

My fave story for the year was when I interviewed a family from the USA that was cruising through Indonesia as part of an extended circumnavigation of the world. What was intriguing was that on board were three young kids. Niall (14), Mairen (11) and Siobhan (9) are part of the crew of the sv Totem and are half a world away from their home port of Eagle Harbour at Bainbridge Island, 12 km north of Seattle USA. They along with their parents are ¿ve years into a round the world cruise and have spent since December last year exploring the Indonesian archipelago. They have an excellent blog on the web that is well written with lots of great photos. It was a real delight to meet them all and sv Totem has now left Indonesian waters to continue their family adventure. Over the holiday season you can read these articles and more in full by visiting the Bali Advertiser web site and go to articles banner and click on From the Sea. Next year I am heading off in a slow boat to the Spice Islands so this is a farewell to all. Sail on sailor. Happy Sailing!!

YEAR END WRAP

The Wrap of 2013 This is my annual summary of all the new restaurants that have opened in Bali. Every year I seem to begin the same way, expressing my amazement at the constant flow of new openings! Is there no ending to how much [often recklessly] is spent every year in this way. In 2013, unlike 2012, a big percentage of the newbies were of high quality, innovative and fairly priced, in fact it has been a vintage year, so much so that another 10 places also deserved to finish on our ‘awards list’, unlike in 2012 when we struggled to select any at all. However the inevitable result is, and has been, the closing of many others. Some lasted only months and a few almost reached one year but the failures have been many, including a couple of very good places such as Tulip. Many others, from fine dining [and a few previous high rollers] to simple restaurants, are running on empty and have a short future life to look forward to. The buzz word for 2013 was ‘tapas’. Last year it was organic [with most of them not], in previous years it was ‘Mediterranean’ with just a Greek Salad, some Pasta and a Chorizo! The honorable tapa is a Spanish invention, a small dish eaten with fingers or using a toothpick or small fork, whilst sitting at a bar sipping your drink. The only true Spanish tapas bar opened and closed within a year, a total failure, in Kuta Galleria many years ago. What all seem to call tapas these days are a selection of small plates [‘entrée’ size , but they do not seem to like the word ‘entrée’ any more] that can be shared by two persons. The concept is to enjoy a wide variety of different tastes. Mama San championed it a few years ago and now many follow, some doing it better than others, some copying in name only! The surprises of 2013 began up on Bali’s north coast, in the past a gastronomical desert, the usual tourist offerings normally being the same from restaurant to restaurant, as it once was in Ubud and Sanur. Spice Beach Club led the way. Very Mediterranean [real and with ‘tapas’] in its beach front location in Lovina, its blue and white décor giving it a Greek feel which was only supported by the many good Greek dishes on the menu, Zuzukakia being one of their most popular dishes, minced beef combined with herbs and grilled in three small patties, served with onion rings and French fries.

Best North Bali - Spice Beach Club

The Lovina Bali [on the site of the old Mas Lovina] was an Australian project and is an impressive array of villas, suites and rooms. Needless to say a high quality good value restaurant was a necessity and Heliconia fills that bill perfectly! The mostly Australian clientele is catered for perfectly with a large pizza oven, many seafood dishes including a giant platter. Most popular is a dish called the Lovina Meat Tapas with three different grilled meats [beef, chicken and lamb]. Down the coast to Amed and the constant development continues. Highlight was the final opening of The Griya, the coast’s 1st pool villa complex. Its high quality restaurant Safka with Chef Pasi, from Finland via fine dining restaurants and embassy dining rooms, proving the perfect match. Classic European cuisine is carefully married with local spices with pleasing effect. Typical is the sensational dish of green tea noodles liberally studded with scallops in an urak sauce. This is a perfect example of taking a base Italian dish and improving it with the flavours of Indonesia! One of the attractions of Amed is that most places [hotels, home-stays and restaurants/warungs] are small and very

personal, normally with the owner managing and working there offering a level of personal service not found anywhere else on the island. Star newcomer in this group was the Hungarian restaurant, Gusto, with the Hungarian owner in the kitchen. That famous paprika infused Goulash leads the way closely followed by an Hungarian special of small pork and bacon strips pan fried in garlic and black pepper titled Roast a la Brason, served with very crunchy deep-fried potato rounds. Chicken Kiev and Wiener Schnitzels may be strange fare for Bali’s fishing village but it adds to the ever growing cuisine variety available along this strip of coast. Another newcomer, Harmony, is from the same management as OnlYou, and concentrates on local seafood and produce. Ubud continued its attempt to balance fine dining restaurants with good value ones as their tourist market evolves. Top of the fine dining range was Wijaya Kusuma at the very impressive new hotel in Begawan, Ayung Resort. With majestic views back up to the source of the sacred Ayung River, the food matches the location. The menu combines international fare with Asian spices, delicate and tasty. Baby Chicken is served Chinese style dipped in soy and black vinegar, with straw mushrooms, tofu, mustard greens and XO. Pan Seared Foie Gras, sits on soft mushroom ravioli, with morel sauce and apple chutney whilst their Beef Carpaccio is flavoured with rendang spices. Monkey Forest Road saw the usual number of openings and name changes. Lemonade [what a strange name?] replaced the temporary site for Bali Pesto and offers the weird mix of Thai and Mexican? Jln. Goutomo continues to host many small, mostly budget, warungs, cafes and restaurants. The star new boy this year was Dolce Arancia [sweet orange] a true Italian eatery with some incredible pasta dishes such as their Spaghetti in orange, studded with plump prawns, a surprising dish! At Tjampuhan, Rondji was an impressive outdoor site, under mature trees, with majestic views, in front of the Antonio Blanco Museum, Their menu a bit optimistic but now with a new chef trying the right the wrongs of a false start. More large hotels began to appear on Ubud’s outskirts, the first of which was the Alaya in Padang Tegal. Its restaurant, Petani, was a pleasant surprise and became the first of a chain of new mid range hotels whose management opted for quality ethnic offerings rather than the usual moderate tourist menu. Petani’s chef hails from North Bali and many of his wonderful Balinese dishes originate there, some are original others are his creation, taste winning out every time! Udang Kelapa is a soup of coconut and lemongrass topped with a row of juicy prawns. Betutu Wonton has a wonderful base broth, filled with soft wontons stuffed with duck meat that has had the betutu treatment, quite sensational. The delicate Sapi Mangga is thinly sliced rare pepper tenderloin beef tossed with strips of young mango and a lime mayonnaise. Chef Made is a perfect example of the wave of great young local chefs currently appearing on the scene doing their thing after working and learning from international experts, the baton is being passed Best Balinese - Petani and handled well. A couple places successful elsewhere in Bali have invaded the local scene. Café Marzano [Legian] increased the places offering Pizza in Pengosekan to five whilst Warung Bendega [Renon] brought its local offerings to a prime

site opposite the Ubud Market. Anomali [Kerobokan], the Jakarta coffee house with wagyu burgers, tried to repeat their instant success in the south but struggled, however perseverance has paid off and it is now bubbling along on Jl. Raya Ubud and Sitara, long established Indian restaurant in Denpasar took over the temporary Ryoshi site whilst the popular Ryoshi group opened their grand new Ubud restaurant, in very Japanese style with air-con sushi room, and indoor and outdoor garden settings with their well-tried menu. Little Jln. Bisma, for many years the sole domain of the ever popular Café des Artistes, had many invaders; Umah Pizza, and Sushi at Rouge [the French jazz bar and lounge] as well as a few local warungs, all attempting to cash in on this popular street of home-stays, hotels and villas. Sanur saw more of the same with many restaurants under different names but with the same menu, and even the same food pictures at front, the sad price of popular tourism. But amongst the gloom were few rays of light with celebrated chef Wayan Budiana moving in to Sand [ex Bonsai], Mahi-Mahi Fish in Curry Meuniere Sauce [pan-seared mahi-mahi fillet, confit of tomato & wilted green with curry garlic butter sauce & potato wedges] on the beach front at Sanur, what next? A couple of invaders from elsewhere here as well, going a little up-market and trying to tempt the locals to spend a little more; Grocer & Grind [Kerobokan and Jimbaran], Three Monkeys [Ubud] and Bali Deli [Seminyak], will probably have a battle ahead. Man Frydays was the latest attempt to establish a successful Fish & Chips in Bali [many before have failed even though some had good product]. This one is by far the most professional yet but the jury is still out? They even offer a Chip Butty which will puzzle all but the northern English [white bread sandwich filled with a row of chips…what the Americans call French Fries] and a Battered Sausage [bringing back memories of a ‘battered sav’ on the way home from the football on a freezing night]. For some unknown reason The Bypass as it skirts Sanur has been a graveyard for many restaurants [the same as Sunset Road] even great ones such as EIGHT could not survive, although last year’s new addition Warung Kayu Api seems to have bucked that trend. This year it was the turn of Serenity a Spanish import from Singapore [why this location I will never understand?]. A large two storey operation that obviously expected the same numbers it gets in Vivo City in Singapore. The food is interesting; Cochinillo, Spanish Suckling Pig and Spanish ‘Tapas’; Pulpo a la Gallega, grilled Spanish octopus garnished with paprika, flake salt and extra virgin olive oil on bed of potato, Huevos Estrellados con Jamon ibérico, smashed egg with ibérico, Pescado con Huevos, silver fish with egg and that humble but correctly prepared Spanish Omelette. A similar story exists for neighbouring Renon but the Cheap Eats category of dining requires full houses every day to survive, although some quite good ones have been quickly opened and closed [even Profito which tried to offer a modern warung version, and did it quite well]. However the choice here for the budget diner is enormous, though mostly offering various regional Indonesian cuisines. In between Renon and Sanur little Warung K.K.N. [that quaintly Indonesian business method of corruption, collusion and nepotism] has expanded around the corner from its long time base on The ByPass into Jln. Danau Buyan, both restaurants now full every day for a lunch of Chinese seafood. Further along this street towards Renon is the Cheap Eats find of the year! Rinjani is a Lombok warung, and better than anything similar that may be found in Lombok. A stylish eatery offering the choice of air-conditioned dining or garden courtyard, with tasty [sometimes spicy!] offerings none of which cost more than $4 and most much less. My favourite snack is a simple Telur Gulung, a paper thin square omelette sprinkled with finely diced red chilli and onion, rolled and cross-sliced, costing less than $1! To the south and Canggu still awaits the opening of Sea Sentosa with many promised new taste sensations. Nearby

is Echo Beach Café, an Australian operation with local [Opor Ayam, chicken breast in coconut milk], international, Thai [Kai Thot Takhrai, served in boneless strips, chicken marinated in lemongrass with an accompanying dip] and general Asian [Hainan Chicken Rice, a dish that is becoming almost international, the chicken steamed and simmered in a special broth and the same broth used to prepare the unique rice] amongst their offerings. In between Canggu and the main strip of Petitenget is Jln. Betu Belig, a street of a few successes and many failures. 12 months full, ever day, is proven success for the talented management and crew at Watercress. Innovative breakfasts [Baked Beans with a difference; kidney and white beans are combined in a ceramic dish with a dash of spices, topped with two eggs then oven baked. On serving they have sour cream and a sprinkle of parmesan added, crusty cinnamon toast on the side, together with a small side salad of rocket and lime, add a sliced chorizo sausage if you will? My type of breakfast!] and tasty lunches [the most wonderful Mahi-Mahi Burger], which can be as organic as you want.

serve of sambal bajak which you add before devouring, very good! Along the narrow Jln. Drupadi a few new ones try to make it without any passing foot traffic, always difficult. Kebun Zibiru has replaced the Austrian Café Vienna with Italian, pasta breads, pastries and jazz. Further around is one of the most fun places for a lunch [organic if you want], little Kreol Kitchen [Slow-Cooked Pork in black beans and chilli, perhaps more traditional than what is found on the menus of Bali’s supposed Cuban restaurants]. Best Indonesian - The Oak

Kuta South [I still call it Tuban and Jln. Kartika Plaza] is another Italian, but with a twist, this time street-front at The Bali Garden Hotel, Il Tempio, at the temple. Their Beef Carpaccio is uniquely different, the shaved prime beef having been marinated in hazelnut vinaigrette and served with arugula pesto, asparagus, lettuce and flaky Parmesan chips.

Best Fine Dining - Solata

Best Cafe - Watercress

Further down Betu Belig and swing to the right towards Canggu and you find La Finca, outdoors but under cover, a Spanish restaurant with a Spanish chef, even Spanish style suckling pig on special some days, no wonder it is busy! In Seminyak-Kerobokan was the usual frenzy of new openings, instant successes and imminent failures. Some presenting quality cuisines others just chasing the drinking dollar! Star of 2013 was Luke Mangan’s Salt Tapas at Sentosa Villas [which also won the tapas race with all combinations perfectly matched rather than just thrown together] A Roasted Jumbo Prawn is combined with garlic, chilli, herbs and lemon, the Tuna Tartare is with citrus and wasabi. Seared Scallops are with leek, lemon, crisp pancetta and horseradish. The Tagine of snapper, octopus, chickpeas, spinach, date, almond & lemon is another reason to visit Salt Tapas.

Out on Sunset Road is a very adventurous operation, Solata. Imported chef Ezzio Gritti from the famed Michelin starred L’Osteria di via Solata in Bergamo, Italy, in perhaps the most perfect fine dining setup in Bali. Set menus featuring very freshest ingredients, many specially produced for the restaurant. A sample of their attention to detail is one of their pre desserts, a slice of Burrata [an Italian hand-made cheese, the outer shell solid mozzarella and the inner a cream filling blended with mozzarella] served with a special marmalade jam. Fontana Hotel on Jln. Dewi Sri, Legian, followed the new trend and opened their Portabella Italian restaurant with Chef Vittorio, a man with a passion for his pasta who also produces some excellent monthly specials such as his Lentil Soup from homeland Sicily a soup that was thick and rich with a liberal sprinkling of sliced sausage making it as hearty as any from Central Europe…wonderful! Kuta, on Sunset Road, and another hotel is doing it differently. Swiss-bel brought famed Jakarta TV chef to Bali for The Oak restaurant with his unique dishes from Aceh. Amongst them a White Rendang [no chilli] and his Indonesian Platter, spicy crocket potato, minced chicken lemongrass, mango salsa, tamarind sauce, cucumber pickles, fish rolls, vegetables with spiced fresh coconut, spicy prawns, quite an amazing blend of different tastes.

Jimbaran saw the arrival of Cucci offering tapas with a difference, BBQ Octopus with Asian gazpacho, fresh apple, caramelized cauliflower and coriander, or Marinated Pulled Pork with soft boiled egg, cinnamon raisin jam and charred spring onions. It is in a large building set in the gardens of the Kayumanis hotel, unusual with tables separated by hanging curtains. A café from Finland in central Jimbaran is Kafe Kahvila, small, clean and fresh with a Nordic pine wood fit out they offer fresh cakes, tarts and sandwiches every day as well as the unusual Italian coffee D’Angelo. The outdoor courtyard suites al fresco diners, it is situated between the restaurant proper and the bar lounge. Wood-fired Split Prawns are an interesting starter as is Jamon Iberico, the Duck Liver Terrine. The cold Seafood Platter includes oysters, king prawns and half a lobster, enough for two. A Lobster Pizza [wood-fired of course] is scented with tarragon and garlic. So, what to expect in 2014? No doubt more of the same with so many new 5 star hotels about to open, each vying for that restaurant that stands out from the rest! The stand alone options are also exciting, many opened too late in 2013 to be reviewed as yet but with Bali tested chefs in place Uma Cuccina [Chef Nicolas ex Bridges] and Locavore [chef/owner ex SHY Jakarta, Ma Joly and Alila Ubud] opened in Ubud late 2013 to much acclaim. Also in Ubud from the Bali Pesto group, Balinese dining in the rice paddies near the Pelangi school in Lod Tunduh. In Jimbaran the opening of Ayana sister hotel Rimba saw acclaimed young Singaporean chef Jusman So move from Chef de Cuisine at Dava [where he achieved what many before had failed to do] to be Executive Chef in charge of all the restaurants at Rimba, a tasting to look forward to.

Best New Restaurants - 2013 Fine Dining

Best Restaurant - Salt Tapas

Eatoss combines local food [Ubud’s Crispy Duck and ribs galore] with late night parties and international DJ’s. Across the road is the L Hotel, their Lola restaurant on the mezzanine presenting excellent Asian cuisines [Szechuan Orange Chicken, consists of amazingly tender pieces of chicken that have been tossed in the wok with long beans, baby corn slices, mushrooms and red chillies. Big on flavour and big on heat!] at budget prices, whilst on their Roof Top Terrace 3 restaurants in one! More Tapas, and some very good ones, Indian Tandoor specials and a Teppanyaki room. Teatro Gastroteque, close to Seminyak Square, appears to be the latest rave restaurant in Bali. As they offer dishes such as Butter Poached Lobster with caramelized cauliflower, truffle pure, spiced brioche, avruga caviar sphere, champagne sabayon and vanilla butter, it is not difficult to see why? Merah Putih amazed with their building design [trapping the rain water from the transparent roof that resembles a garden hot house! Tapas style with Indonesian flavours their Coral Trout is wow! Served in carpaccio style the paper thin trout slices are layered across the plate covered with similarly sized slices of pomelo and palm heart then drizzled with soy and ginger, it is one of those simple but great dishes that you tend to order on every visit. Another is their Bak Pao, which arrives on a small glazed slab of tree branch.

Update Cafe Italia Ristorante breaks the mold and offers quality Italian cuisine at a popular Bali tourist site instead of the usual ‘tourist’ menu. What a pleasant change! A little hard to find it hides behind an entrance, via a small shop, that faces the car park at Tanah Lot. The restaurant is a large wantilan behind offering a wide range of Italian standards as well as a selection of Indonesian dishes. The management are Italian and the kitchen staff from Lombok, together they present an interesting menu at reasonable prices. Pasta of course; Spaghetti, Fettuccine and Fusilli, every which way plus Cannelloni and Lasagna. A wide variety of meat and fish dishes, prepared different ways different days, all listed on the daily specials, Italian, Indonesian and general International. Naturally there is still some good old tourist food, where would we be without that English staple, Fish & Chips.

CasCades @ The Viceroy welcomes Belgian celebrity chef Michael Vrijmoed on Saturday December 28 for a gala 6 course degustation dinner, with wine pairing. Michael was 3 Star Michelin Restaurant Peter Goossens’s right-hand man for 8 years, since then he has gone on to recently open his own 1 Star Michelin restaurant, his own cooking TV series, cooking for the king of Belgium and a “four hand-dinner”s with 2 Michelin Star San Hoon Degeimbre in his restaurant L’air du Temps. Michael’s dishes are original, creative and complex yet simple at the same time. His cooking motto ‘less is more’ and his respect for seasonal ingredients has brought him great acclaim in Europe. “I’m really looking forward to my visit in Bali where I will discover the local flavours and culinary traditions that are new for me” said Michaël Vrijmoed. CasCades Restaurant’s Executive Chef Nic Vanderbeeken commented “It’s nice to bring the flavours of my home to Bali for this special dining experience and I’m excited to show Michaël some of the wonderful ingredients that Bali has to offer, we will definately be visiting the local market together whilst Michael is here.”. Tables are limited and reservation essential.

The Grill House disappeared from Sunset Road, only to re-appear on The ByPass, just before Lotte Mart [which will always be called ‘Macro’], between Benoa and Sanur. Always the best Korean food in Bali with dining at private tables not a food hall overrun with busloads of tourists! However it is still a grill house and many of the Korean dishes on offer are therefore cooked that way, either on the central table cooking device [an extendable tube is lowered from the overhead exhaust fan system to create draught on the hot coals and to eliminate steam and cooking smells from inside the restaurant] or on an inverted hubcap [same shape as a sailor’s hat] a tin dome surrounded by a draining rim. A small gas ring [kept under the table in a small drawer] is placed on the table, the cooking dish on top of that. Bulgogi and Kimchee, are two of the most recognisable items from Korean cuisine. Both feature very prominently at The Grill House. Bulgogi is sliced beef pre-marinated with onions and garlic in sesame oil and soy. The strips are cooked on the dome by the waiter, the fats and juices draining away to the rim. A plate of lettuce and cabbage leaves provide the Korean method of eating, wrapping pieces of the meat in a leaf and dipping into a Korean sauce of blended soy bean paste and chilli.

Kitano is a teppanyaki restaurant with a difference! A small room, atop the L Hotel, it holds one teppanyaki cooking table surrounded by 6-8 seats for private dining. Behind the room is the Roof Top Terrace of the L Hotel with its bar, tapas and Indian Tandoori selections. To the left is a view of the Seminyak landscape. Your Japanese trained chef skillfully tosses meat, fish and vegetables on to the teppan according to your order. As with all Japanese cuisines only the highest grade of ingredients are ever used. When you meal is finished it is only a 10 metre stroll to the rooftop cocktail bar for drinks in the moonlight!

Petani is on the coffee trail! This stylish restaurant at the Alaya resort has recently launched its very own gourmet blend of coffee. Petani Coffee is exclusive to Alaya Resort Ubud and is freshly roasted using the finest grade Arabica beans from around the Indonesia archipelago. Petani’s special house blend is 100% pure Arabica with a floral aroma, citric acidity, medium body and pleasant dark chocolate aftertaste. It is also sold in convenient 200 gram packs to take home. Single origin coffee blends including Malabar-West Java, Toraja-Enrekang and Bali-Singaraja are also available. To guarantee consistency with various levels of aroma, acidity, and fragrance, Petani offers various methods of processing. It houses the La Marzocco FB/70 limited edition four group espresso machine handcrafted in Florence, one of only two machines found in Indonesia. Petani also features cold drip coffee by Oji, the original coffee drip machine maker, handmade in Japan. The Oji coffee drip slowly extracts the coffee beans over the period of eight hours, maintaining the original bean aroma. There is nothing quite like a great cup of coffee! Massimo’s of Sanur celebrate an old Italian custom, ‘Befana or Epifania’, on Monday evening January 6 [the ‘other’ Christmas day]. Custom has it that a very old and ugly lady dressed in black drops the final Christmas present into the children’s socks [your kids will love it]. Different Stations [hot, cold, grill and dessert] are set up all around the restaurant and grounds from where you can sample a vast array of that special Massimo cuisine. This year there is no set price, as all will be charged a la carte. Bookings are essential. [Tel: 288.942] Guling-Guling is a small late night shop on Raya Peliatan, just south of Andong. Its main claim to fame is the always hot roasted chickens from the rotisserie at the entrance. Now the other side of the shop front has recently been lined with high tech ovens and they produce great healthy multigrain baguettes every day. So good in fact that they are beginning to appear as the house bread at some of Ubud’s most popular restaurants. As a bonus it is a convenient location with ready parking.

Say What? Question: I’ve been serious with my boyfriend for eight months, and we spend almost every night together at his place. Even so, he doesn’t like me leaving anything there. He hasn’t actually told me that I can’t, but whenever I leave something behind, he makes a point of telling me. It’s annoying because I’d like to have a toothbrush or a few toiletries that I don’t need to continually haul around in a giant tote with a change of clothes. Not only is it embarrassing; it’s frustrating. Why won’t he let me leave my stuff at his place? Is he scared? Dr. ZZ: Yes, he is most likely scared. Guys don’t generally relish the thought of giving up their space and sense of freedom. Your boyfriend may be one of the cowardly brood. My tendency is not to judge him too harshly, however, unless and until the two of you have this conversation. If he hasn’t actually told you not to leave anything at his place, and if he simply points out random items you leave occasionally, he may be clueless and think he’s heroically pointing out things you apparently forgot. With eight months under your belt, it’s fair to imagine that you guys are fairly serious. This is obviously not a weekend fling. You need to level with him about the inconvenience you’re experiencing, and ask him if he can spare a shelf or some space in his closet. Granted, it would have been reassuring if he had thought to offer first, but men and women tend to focus on different details. Give him the benefit of the doubt, and bring it to his attention. If nothing else, you’ll get some interesting information about his level of consideration. Question: I am a 29-year old Indonesian woman, married to a Western man. A couple weeks ago, I went to the Galeria and bought some things for myself and my husband. We’re newlyweds and still working on furnishing our home, so I bought some fabulous designer sheets that cost close to Rp. 14,000,000. I figured we could splurge a little; plus, I bought them with my own money. When my husband found out how much I spent on the sheets, he got angry and threatened to sleep on the couch if I didn’t return them. Needless to say, I took the sheets back. Why does my husband get so upset when I buy expensive stuff? It’s not like we are poor. So why does he have to control what I spend my money on? Dr. ZZ: When two become one, arguments are bound to happen, and money is probably the most common subject that couples -- especially newly married couples -- argue about. As husband and wife, the two of you are now a financial unit. Each of you needs to confer with the other before making expenditures in the vicinity of what you describe. The same would hold true if your husband, for example, wanted to buy a Rp 14,000,000 plasma TV.

The important thing is to get past the upset, learn from the experience, and co-create five positive interactions to offset each negative one. Think of all the wonderful places you and he can now spend that Rp 14,000,000. Perhaps the two of you can go on a shopping spree together next time, and sweeten the deal with promises of all the fun you’re going to have with your new purchases. Question: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of getting married and of how my husband would propose to me. I imagined that everything would be perfect: a beach, a sunset, and flowers everywhere. I wanted to brag forever about how romantic my husband was, and how wonderful it was that he had gone through all the trouble that he did. Well, my boyfriend of fifteen years finally popped the question last week, and it was just awful -- mainly because he proposed at the Hard Rock Cafe. Allow me to explain: we first met at another Hard Rock when we were back at university, and recently -- though we haven’t been back to a Hard Rock in years – he took me out to dinner at the Hard Rock Café in Legian. Then, before our food came, he got down on one knee and proposed. Now, how embarrassing is that! Dr. ZZ: The one guarantee I can make about any two people is that they are bound to have differences. It’s the way they negotiate their differences that either makes or breaks a relationship. The judgment you are holding against your fiancé is precisely the kind of rigid, negative attitude that tears relationships apart. Clearly, you need to give him some credit. Though he didn’t meet your fairy tale ideal of Prince Charming, he obviously planned and thought through his proposal. He took you to a nostalgic spot that represented the place where the two of you first met, a place where perhaps he realized he first fell in love with you.

Tirtagangga: Water of the Ganges Tirtagangga, surrounded by forests and rice ¿elds south of Ababi village on the southern slopes of Mount Agung, is one of the most graceful, tranquil and least known large pool complexes in all of Bali. I hadn’t visited this well maintained piece of Balinese history in eight years and the highly photogenic “water palace” was now de¿nitely on the tourist itinerary. Its remote location had always preserved its idyllic atmosphere, but now it had been discovered, particularly by domestic tourists. The site is almost always included as a stop in any sightseeing tour of the Karangasem District. I happened to choose a day during school break when hundreds of students were visiting on a ¿eld trip. The happy kids seemed to have the most fun feeding the huge greedy koi and taking smartphone sel¿es. Dozens of school kids jumping across the meandering hexagonal-shaped stepping stones just breaking the surface of the pond. I took part in a number of English-speaking practicing sessions and photo ops surrounded by gaggles of middle school girls, but eventually found a quiet corner where the bustle wasn’t so overwhelming to relax and contemplate the surroundings. The total area is not that large, just 1.5 hectares and secured by a low wall, so many people spend just an hour or so. But Tirtagangga is serene enough to spend the whole afternoon there. Within the grounds, there isn’t anyone trying to sell you things, though the entrance walkway is crowded with stalls selling everything from pajamas to sunglasses. Take note of the plaque on the wall commemorating a verse from Umbu Landu Paranggi, a poet and aesthete who played a pivotal role in the development of Balinese poetry in the 1980s. Known locally as Taman Tirtagangga, the water park was built in 1948 by the last raja of Karangasem, Raja Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut, a patron of the arts. The palace buildings, which no longer exist, and the pools were built with corvee labor on the site of a sacred spring emerging from under an ancient banyan tree in the temple courtyard just beside the hotel area. At the bottom of this holy tree the natural mineral water percolates constantly to the surface. Tirta means “blessed water,” while gangga refers to the Ganges River in India which is worshipped as the Hindu goddess of Ganga in Hinduism, so Tirtagangga literally means “Water of the Ganges.” Like in India where Hindus take sacred water from the Ganges to use in rituals, the Balinese also carry the water home for blessings. Believing that the water has symbolic and religious importance as well as medicinal properties, they also place offerings here. These mature, formal, Italianate-style water gardens, combining Balinese and Chinese styles, were only one of several weekend retreats used by the Karangasem rajas who seemed to have been prone to a water fetish. Other royal water palaces used for recreation and meditation are at Jungutan and Ujung, the latter a majestic mock European-style complex surrounded by a moat, considered a masterpiece. During the volcanic eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963, both Tirtagangga and Taman Ujung were partly destroyed, but in the late 1980s Tirtagangga underwent a major renovation to return it as close as possible to its original state. In 2004, restoration work was completed on Taman Ujung. Tirtagangga and the Ujung Water Palace are Karangasem Regency’s most most important historical and architectural legacies which also include Besakih, the mother temple of Balinese Hindus.

Now the peaceful royal retreat of Tirtagangga is open to anyone to enjoy. With its ornate fountains, arcing bridges, channels and shallow lotus-filled pools, lovely tropical flowers and shrubbery, pleasant cool weather (500 meters above sea level), it’s a sublime experience to swim in the big Àower-strewn reservoirs ¿lled by clean freshwater mountain streams. The surprising sculptures, water-spouting gargoyles, mythological characters from Hindu epics and the intricate stone carvings adorning the walls are fantastic. The park’s architectural gem and centerpiece is an 11-tiered water fountain representing lotus blossoms that resembles a Chinese pagoda. Accommodations & Food During the tourist season, Tirtagangga’s ¿ve hotels ¿ll up quickly, but at other times the evenings are very quiet and full of stars with the constant sound of splashing water. The accommodations all serve filling, Balinese-style meals including fresh ¿sh taken right from the pools, as well as morning tea and breakfast. Small food warung outside the complex sell food, refreshments and fruit. Tirta Ayu Villas (tel. 0363-21425/22503, website: www. hoteltirtagangga.com) is this international-standard hotel located inside the complex and has been run by relatives of the royal family since 2003. Rooms start at around Rp1.5 million. Visitors may relax by the plunge pool on the grounds until around 4 pm when the crowds are mostly gone, then tour the gardens in the deliciously cool of the late afternoon. The ¿rst-class hotel restaurant is the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing drink and affords a great vantage point over the pools. Just east of the water palace, to the left and at the top of 99 steps, is the Kusuma Jaya Inn (tel. 0363-21250) far removed from the hubhub. Its 16 budget rooms, built in a semi-arc along the side of a hill, cost Rp100,000 single or double with big beds, fans, nice mattresses and open-air bathrooms. Sometimes you can bargain lower rates. The superb 180-degree views take in the brilliant rice ¿elds scenery all the way down to the glittering sea. Dhangin Taman Inn (tel. 0363-22059), 9 rooms for Rp100,000 single or double, is adjacent to the water palace. Vicinity of Tirtagangga The accommodations around Tirtagangga make an excellent base for hiking or cycling down back roads through Bali’s pastoral world of endless verdant rice terraces. With the island’s biggest and most sacred mountain Gunung Agung towering above. Ask around about shuttle buses to get you further into the countryside to start your trek. Guides can also be hired in Tirtagangga’s parking lot. One quite manageable and enjoyable path is the one leading up the hill in back of the water palace, following the water source of the pools, for about 1.5 kilometers to a small village, then walk through the countryside to the main road north of Tirtagangga and then back down the winding road to the water palace. Bukit Lempuyang is the site of an important temple on the island’s easternmost hill, one of the nine major sad kahyangan spiritual points of Bali, equal in stature to Besakih and Ulu Watu. See signs pointing the way. Pay an entrance fee at the tollgate, then from where the road ends, it’s another one km walk to the ¿rst small temple, Pura Telagamas at 768 meters. From there it’s 4,000 steps through a forest up to Pura

Lempuyang (1058 meters) or to the top of Mount Serayu (1175 meters). This is a superlative but steep uphill walk, so start early before it gets too hot. On clear mornings you’ll see not only Mount Agung but all the way to the islands of Lembongan and Nusa Penida. If you go in the afternoon, the mountain is covered in clouds. The highlight of this whole region is the undeveloped coastal strip to the north of Tirtagangga, a 92-km three-hour run on the northeast coast to Singaraja through a relatively sparsely populated area. Just before Culik there’s an explosion of vegetation - you can smell it coming. In the Amed area you can find peace and quiet, delicious food, inexpensive accommodations, unobtrusive massage ladies, few hawkers, just one or two boat trip guys who leave you alone after asking a couple of times. The area offers some of Bali’s most splendidly located self-contained dive losmen and homestays, quiet unpeopled beaches and the island’s largest concentration of traditional ¿shing jukung. The snorkeling begins just east of town where the currents off the black-sand beaches are calm year-round, the visibility 10-20 meters, the hard coastal reefs superb and the variety and numbers of ¿sh along the reef is excellent, all within 30 meters of the shore. Practicalities Tirtagangga, 15 km north of Amlapura, makes a refreshing dip and rest stop on the way from Candidasa to Amed. The place can be so astoundingly full of the visitors from tour buses in the July-September high season that the main view is of people milling about, but on weekdays in the off season you could have the place to yourself. To avoid crowds, go either early in the morning or late in the day. The premises are also occasionally rented out for weddings. On overcast days, the colors of the garden and water aren’t as rich, but it’s still worth visiting in any weather. Though located only 20 minutes away from Candidasa, it’s dif¿cult to ¿nd a taxi there, so hire roundtrip transport or hop on a public bemo from Amlapura. If driving your own car, continue to travel east beyond Klungkung along the coast. The traf¿c thins and the pace slows as the main road ¿nally meets Bali’s east coast, an arid stretch which passes fishing villages, beachside salt processing factories, the old harbor of Kusamba and the Holy Bat cave of Goa Lawah. Just before entering the bridge at the entrance of Amlapura, the capital of the regency, a left-hand turn takes you 7 kilometers NW to Tirtagangga. Signposting is lacking, so it can be a bit hard to ¿nd the actual entrance. Another option is to cycle here from Sidemen but when returning the steep 7 km hill to Duda Timur on the way back to Sideman is a real workout. Bring swimsuits (not bikini) and bottled water. The ticket of¿ce is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entrance: Rp10,000 for foreigners, Rp5,000 for the locals which allows you can come and go a l l d a y. I t c o s t s another Rp10,000 for a revitalizing swim in two pools which are drained on Monday mornings, but are completely ¿lled again by afternoon. The higher pool is deeper than the lower one, so it is not used as much. Change rooms available. The water is spine-tingling cold, so wait until high noon to plunge in. After 6 p.m., swimming is free of charge, but the water is even colder. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2013 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

ARDEN DOCTOR

by The Garden Doctor

by Dr. Kris

Foraging from the Sea to the Garden!

‘Hello Garden Doctor, I have heard that dried seaweed collected from the beach can be used as a beneficial addition to the garden. Just wondering if there are any other materials found at the beach or anywhere else that can be used as an organic garden addition? Very thankful for any of your thoughts on this, Greg’ Natural organic fertiliser is the best way to feed your plants and improve your soil. The sea contains a large spectrum of trace elements in solution, and some of the debris that is washed up on the beach like seaweed, shells and rocks also contain quite a lot of these trace elements. After foraging at the beach on many an occasion I can tell you of quite a few materials that can easily be collected at the beach and recycled into the garden as organic fertiliser. The many types of shell, seaweed, sea sponge, cuttlefish and even pumice stones can all be used in varying ways that will benefit your garden. Mulching with any of these materials will be beneficial. It will improve the soil, retain water and reduce the weeds. Seaweed is perhaps the best known of natural fertilisers from the sea, though shells have also been used in the garden for thousands of years. You can easily use crushed up seashells as a layer of mulch just like pebbles are used in some gardens. Be sure to thoroughly wash and then soak the shells in a bucket of water as seashells will be encrusted with salt. Pour off the water after two days and then soak the shells again to make sure excess salt has been leached out otherwise this could harm your garden. There is no need to break up small shells, so just collect those ones. You should really be able to find enough small shells pre-crushed by nature. Collect all the crushed shells and apply a layer over the garden surface. To do this, simply throw or sprinkle the crushed shells out over the site you want to mulch, These shells will provide the soil the minerals and calcium as they decay, providing a good natural slow release fertiliser that is also organic. The great benefit is that the shells decay very slowly, preventing the need to replenish the mulch for at least a few years, and it is good for all types of plants such as flowers, trees, ground covers and many other herbs and vegetables. If at any time you need to compost around your plants, simply rake the seashells aside add compost, and then replace the shells back on top. You can use seashells as a surface mulch of your potted plants such as flowers or succulents, enhancing their appearance. You can also mix the sea shells into the soil and the coarseness will improve the drainage, which would be beneficial for any plant that likes a well-drained soil. Using cuttlefish or even crushed lobster and crab shells can also be beneficial to the garden. Cuttlefish like all other shells is composed of calcium which is an important element in plant nutrition. After nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and to lesser extent iron are essential for plant growth. Cuttlefish bone is a pure form of calcium carbonate. Pulverised cuttlefish should be sprinkled around the garden, your pot plants and definitely in the compost. It is soft and easily broken into small pieces if wrapped in a cloth and hit with a hammer or large stone. It is a very useful way to provide a natural organic slow release of organic calcium. Crushed cuttlefish bone is an alkaline substance and is also very useful for neutralising soil acidity.

Pumice stones that can also be found washed up at the beach are also another useful addition to the garden. Pumice stones are very light, airy rocks that float on water. They originate from volcanic regions and contain many beneficial minerals for the garden. They can be broken up into chunks and added to the compost or around the garden as a slow release fertiliser. Pumice is soft and easily crushed. If the rocks are pulverized into dust then the mineral release will be much quicker. Pumice is beneficial for both clay and sand soils, helping to provide aeration in clay soils, and water retention for sandy soils.

Seaweed is the number one gift for your garden, as it contains an abundance of beneficial minerals and trace elements. It’s just too hard to walk by it at the beach and not pick it up. I prefer to take the dried seaweed, because that way you can fit more into your bag, and will be more concentrated in minerals by weight. Crush it up in your hands or add it whole to your compost and garden beds, it is really one of the best things you can do for your garden. Seaweed is packed with everything that a plant and soil needs. The trace elements contained in the seaweed are transferred to the soil and then into the plant and its fruit. Seaweed is a good way of adding iodine to the soil. Iodine is a very important nutrient for human health, and these days many of the soils used for agriculture and the people eating the produce from them, are deficient. To make seaweed ‘tea’ fertiliser, soak seaweed in a container for a week or two until it begins to resemble the colour of tea. By this time it will contain all the trace elements and nutrients released from the seaweed. This would be far too strong to use on its own, so make sure to dilute a small cup with a full watering can and water it around the garden. Seaweed itself contains little salt it is the sand attached to it that is quite alkaline and needs to be removed with a good wash. Seaweed can be used around almost any plant except acid loving plants such as strawberries. Sea sponge also contains many of the trace elements and minerals found in seaweed. When added to pot plants or sandy soils sea sponge will retain water (it is a sponge after all!), particularly useful for drought prone areas. Sea sponge is like a natural water crystal, absorbing and retaining moisture in the soil. Some people even use sea sponge as a medium in which to grow herbs without soil!

Put the seaweed, sea sponge, shells, cuttlefish and pumice in the compost as well as in the garden beds. With all of these items collected from the seashore be sure to thoroughly wash or soak them to remove excess salt which may leach out over a few days. All of these materials are a valuable, efficient natural source of fertiliser and mulch. The best bit is you can enjoy a walk along the beach whilst collecting it and it’s also free! With these additions your soil will be better off allowing you to save money and avoid using chemical fertilisers as soil additives or amendments.

The Business Builder Series

Graeme Stevens

The BizWiz Brand Delivery… co-create customer value and release hidden profit

The Internet of Everything – Part 3 How to Choose the Right Business Tools Helping your Customer get the Job Done The key capability your technology tools must provide always relates to your customer (Heidi)’s experience with you in co-creating value, in how you help her get her job done. In the new business paradigm this now includes omni-channel capability – you need to be able to meet Heidi’s expectation that ordering, fulfillment and returns should be enabled freely and that any step of the process should be executable in the channel of her choice. This means, for example, that: • Merchandise advertised in stores should be available for purchase online. • It should be fulfilled at Heidi’s discretion—to a store, to her home, to her workplace. • That merchandise should be returnable to a store, or via parcel post. • To Heidi, none of these permutations should be cumbersome. Business Capabilities Required The key functional applications systems every business needs are: 1. CRM – customer relationship management for marketing and sales 2. E-Commerce website 3. Inventory management (if you sell products) 4. Accounting 5. Business Reporting - dashboards 6. CMS - Content Management Specialist businesses may then require: 7. Manufacturing management 8. Project Management 9. Events Management 10.Professional Services Management You can also add into the mix: 11. Payroll 12. HRM administration 13. Business Intelligence 14. VOIP telephone linked to CRM

Integrate your applications for a better customer experience and greater productivity. Business Partners Interweaving all of the different systems are your business partnerships. This capability is really at the hub of all your systems. Check that the system you go for provides for the same person to be a customer, a staff member, a supplier, and a shareholder. QuickBooks for one doesn’t provide this capability – you need to provide different names for the same person. And check that links to any other related systems can use the same data about these customers in their different roles. The Ideal Solution Ideally you would have all of these functional requirements linked and sharing data as required. For example, the e-Commerce site works best for Heidi when it is linked to Accounting and Inventory and CRM and CMS. For over 20 years larger businesses have seen the only way to achieve an integrated solution was using ERP systems – Integrated Resource Planning. These typically cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars and required an enormous investment in setup and training and data migration from your older systems. But the price and complexity meant smaller and micro-businesses didn’t have access. Now the cloud is starting to change that. Not only are sophisticated ERP systems on the cloud now available (at ‘only’ $999 a month and up) but other options are coming through as well that are much, much more affordable. Some examples that come to mind: • More and more open-source ERP packages are now going into the cloud providing the software as a service (SAAS) where you pay a small monthly fee. • Zoho Work Online http://www.zoho.com/ (with over 8 million on-line users) has linking for cloud-based

applications at amazingly cheap costs, feasibly for much less than $200 per month for a very broad inte grated system. You can start with basics like accounting then add on as your team has developed the skill-set for the previous module. • Google Apps lets you build a range of solutions and plug in various modules, including free accounting modules like Wave. Or try http://www.freeagent.com (which won the UK 2013 best accounting package award) for a $20 per month accounting solution that links and synchs with other functional applications. • https://zapier.com/ is a linking tool for over 250 applications that can work together, sharing data. The Benefits of Cloud Applications • No capital investment or staff costs to manage a computer server platform • Rented not owned software, and usually with free upgrades that are applied for you while you sleep. • Any client computer with a browser can access them – Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome. • Usually no fixed contracts with ability to withdraw your data at any time. Check Systems Platform Flexibility 1. A Web-based system in the cloud that is able to communicate with the wider world. 2. Coordinating with other channels to create a seamless brand experience 3. Able to integrate with other specialist software your business needs. 4. No contract lock-in. 5. Ability to scale as your business grows. Check Minimum Capabilities 1. Maintain information about your company, 2. Maintain information about your business partners (customers, suppliers, employees, regulatory) 3. Manage your tax requirements – sales VAT, company profit tax, employee salary tax. 4. Maintain information about your physical products, services and down loadable items which can be used on orders and invoices. 5. Be able to enter sales/purchase orders which, after completion, will generate invoices and payments. 6. Be able to enter salaries paid to your employees and administer tax (VAT) payments. 7. Be able to maintain the content of your website and e-commerce front-end. 8. Have a dashboard page showing a complete overview of your company regarding sales, cost and profits, and open payments. 9. Generate reports for your tax office. 10.Up/Download of all data.

“Auricular Greetings” “Wash behind your ears” my father said. “I have done.” “Come here.” He’d grab my ears and turn them over hunting for any telltale sign that might reveal my hearing flaps being anything but immaculately cleansed. “Oh no you haven’t, I could grow turnips in there” he’d say in a triumphant declaration of victory. For some strange reason that I could never fathom the most important part of one’s body to be cleansed was behind the ears. Just as we have to wear clean underwear in case we get run over and end up in hospital God forbid that we should ever be seen dead in public with dirt behind the ears. At the time I didn’t understand that clean earholes are in important part of our social fabric. There was a time, and a place, when greeting people involved grabbing each other’s private parts, some throwback to the times when tension in the nether regions was taken as a sign of an impending act of betrayal such as taking the last piece of christmas pudding or, even worse, not buying the next round. Times changed, people became more sophisticated and it became far more socially acceptable to judge people by discreetly checking out their auricular hygiene rather than making a grab for the gonads (unless, of course, you happen to be standing at the bar of the “Jolly Jester” in deeper Manchester). Of course grabbing someone’s lugholes was behaviour far too coarse for polite society and so it has become the norm in European countries to have a little sniff at each ear when you meet someone. For many people it is 2 sniffs; right ear, sniff, yes that’s ok, left ear yes ok too, he’s clean. For some there is further 3rd sniff - a double check on the left ear. This form of instant judgement was far too confronting for some. Indeed it was the fear of having bacteria laden dirt festering away behind the ears that lead to the people of a famous French city inventing a certain “Eau” which is, as we all know, used to dab behind the ears. For the great unwashed of Britain this was all far too revealing so they settled on simply shaking hands. All very well but don’t you ever wonder where those hands have been particularly when someone grasps you with a big fat bunch of fingers and their hand is hot and slimy, you try and hide the shock, withdraw your mit as soon as you can wondering how you can manage to wipe it without being noticed. How many million germs passed in that simple handshake? Hygiene, now there’s a subject. I once knew a microbiologist who told me that if people knew just how easily bugs jump through a piece of tissue paper no one would use toilet paper ever again. If you are building or renovating your home it is a good idea to consider hygiene and how easy it will be to keep your house clean particularly the kitchen and the bathroom areas. Many years ago I was working in a hospital where, of course, hygiene is a constant issue particularly since antibiotic resistant superbugs like Staphylococcus aureus (Golden staph) have taken hold. When considering hygiene at home we can learn a few lessons from the way they do things in hospitals. The first thing is to make sure there are plenty of washbasins put in strategically convenient places and with anti bacterial soap. In many hospitals these days there are washbasins and antibacterial hand cream dispensers outside ward entrances for visitors to use. Clinical rooms in hospitals are usually tiled 1.4 metres or more from the floor and often to the ceiling. This is so that they can be scrubbed clean. In older hospitals you will often find walls are painted with oil based paint, again to make it easier to keep surfaces clean. Corner areas are difficult to get into and harbour bugs. Next time your house cleaner is wielding that dirty mop you may note that it hasn’t been cleaned since Long John Silver’s parrot died and that it uses the corners as a place to store excess dirty grey sludge as it passes across your floor. To avoid this modern hospitals don’t have corners in the clinical and surgical areas. The walls curve around the corners of the rooms and between the floor and the walls. Floor coverings tend to be of vinyl with welded seams shaped to come up around these curved skirtings and onto the walls. I am not suggesting you would take such measures at home but the hospital experience is worthy of note. Surprisingly hospitals don’t use as much disinfectant as you might think. When water with disinfectant in it dries off it leaves

a residue that can actually harbour and grow bacteria. It should also be noted that it takes 30 seconds or so for disinfectant to kill bacteria. Mixing more than one chemical in that mop bucket can also be detrimental. Some chemicals may cancel each other out or even react badly with each other. It is generally regarded in the hospital world that the best way to clean surfaces is by using very hot clean water and keep the mop and mop bucket clean. Surfaces should be designed to be easy to clean and this is very relevant in your home. Rough surfaces, surfaces with joints or porous surfaces should be avoided particularly for kitchen bench tops but also in other areas such as the surface where you put your toothbrush down. Avoid tiled kitchen bench tops, they may look good but the grouted joints are wonderful places to breed bugs.

Surfaces in hospitals are usually stainless steel (now this is real stainless steel, not that stuff you buy at your local handyman supermarket that goes rusty as soon as it sees a bottle of vinegar). Consider where the threats of infection in your home come from: Contaminated well water. We live with septic tanks very close to our water supplies. Get your water tested. Toilet hygiene (and don’t forget changing little Johnny’s nappy). Make sure you clean the toilet regularly and that there is a convenient washbasin nearby. Food that has gone off. Clean the fridge out regularly, check the use by dates and don’t bring cold climate habits of eating leftovers three days later to the tropics. Raw poultry is noted for salmonella. It must be well cooked and the surface it is prepared on should be well cleaned afterwards. Sinks and floor drains that do not have U bends in them. The U bend keeps out smells and unwanted guests.

Mosquitoes carry Malaria, Dengue and Chikungunya. Have flyscreens fitted and eliminate any standing water around your house and garden. Infections (including Hepatitis) passed on from infected people. If someone is preparing your food check that they don’t have dirty fingernails or open wounds and ask them to wash their hands (be polite if you don’t want rat poison in your next nasi goreng). Dirty cleaning equipment. Keep cleaning equipment clean and in good condition. Dry mops in sunshine where the UV rays can kill bacteria in the mop. Pets. When Rover has been enjoying a nice fetid titbit from that stinky dump just across the road or has been playing in the river that is carrying the ablutions from several kampungs upstream you need to be very careful where his nose, mouth and paws are planting themselves in his ever so playful way. Pests such as rats, cockroaches and flies. Like it or not living in Indonesia rats are never far away and they have a habit of wandering round your kitchen at night. A good friend of mine got a dose of Leptospirosis, a particularly nasty disease, it certainly knocked him around for a while. He probably got it from rat urine. Glass, cups and other crockery should be put in closed cupboards, covered or stored upside down. You will notice that Indonesians cover cups by habit particularly when presenting them to guests. This is not just politeness, it is considered rather poor manners to present someone with a nice hot cup of rat wee.

We don’t get as many cockroaches here as we see in Australia but they are always around. Just note that for every cockroach you see there will be fifty more you don’t see. They hide in dark places such as under kitchen cabinets or in cavity walls. Most houses here do not have cavity walls which makes control of pests easier. Try and avoid those false bottoms in your kitchen cabinets. As a final comment don’t get too paranoid about hygiene and in fact I suggest that children need a good healthy dose of exposure to bugs to build up their immunity. It just needs a bit of common sense. I do suggest that next time you meet someone check behind their ears before shaking their hand. Phil Wilson Opinions expressed are those of Phil Wilson.

Diary by Mr. Robet

Riddick 2, Rule The Dark The production values and special effects in David Twohy’s Sci-Fi action movie sequel are extremely good, however, the movie is impossible to follow unless you have seen ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ (2004). The film starts as Vin Diesel, reprising his role of Riddick, an intergalactic renegade, is dumped on a sun scorched and uninhabited planet, where, for the next thirty minutes or so, he has to fight a variety of alien beasts. Then, a space-ship full of bounty hunters arrives, to hunt Riddick down. Take it from there!

Summer In February At the very beginning of the 20th century, in an English artists’ community, located somewhere on the Cornish coast, an aspiring young artist creates a scandal, when she marries the leader of the group. A man she doesn’t love.

The Sound of Music The 1965 movie version of this stage musical has firmly implanted in our brains the idea of Julie Andrews as the nauseously nice nun, who taught the von Trapp children how to sing. In this made-for-TV special, ‘pop’ singing sensation Carrie Underwood has a successful go at the role, but, god only knows what it will do to her ‘street credibility’. Actually, this documentation of a live TV broadcast is rather good, as it more closely follows the original stage musical, plus, it is far less sentimental than the movie version. Rogers and Hammerstein’s songs still sparkle, and, the Nazis are as nasty as ever.

Battle Of The Year A multi-media mogul employs an alcoholic and depressed coach to train a dance crew, and, then, take them to Europe to perform in a big competition. There is only so much ‘Hip Hop’ dancing that you can take in 105 minutes!

Violet & Daisy Two young women are contract killers and they are also crazy about clothes. So, when they want to buy a new fashionable frock, they accept a job to kill a thief who is hiding out in his New York apartment. The job turns out to be not as simple as they first thought. Writer and director Geoffrey Fletcher makes an entertaining and unusual ‘black’ comedy, while, Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel both give great performances as the fashion obsessed killers. Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa When a North England radio station is taken over by a huge multi-media conglomerate, a sacked broadcaster takes everyone within the radio station hostage, and threatens to kill them all unless he is reinstated. One of the stations announcers is coerced by the police into going inside, and trying to end the siege. Director Declan Lowney’s comedy rises or falls on the skills of British comedian Steve Coogan, and, in this case, Coogan is very funny. The Truth About Emanuel A young girl is fascinated by the single mother who has just moved into the house next door. However, when she starts to baby sit for the mother, the girl quickly discovers that all is not right with her new neighbor. Francesca Gregorini makes a rather obscure feminist movie, which is mostly concerned with a broad range of women’s issues, such as childbearing and motherhood. Expecting Childbearing and motherhood are also points of discussion in this movie. A couple are trying to have a baby, over and over again, with no success. Then, when a friend of theirs becomes unexpectedly pregnant, the couple agree to adopt the illegitimate baby when it is born. Both Michelle Monaghan and Radha Mitchell give good performances, in a somewhat cliché ridden movie.

Filth A police-officer is totally corrupted by sex, drugs, and graft. Unfortunately, the English that is being spoken by the English actors in this English drama is so unintelligible that it makes it difficult to understand most of the movie.

Hotel Noir A group of characters, all living or working in a hotel, find that their lives are interconnected. This movie completely fails to capture any elements of the 1940s ‘Film Noir’ genre, except that it is filmed in stark black and white. Paradise When a young Christian singer is badly disfigured in a plane crash, she leaves her close knit religious community to start a new life in Las Vegas.

Percy Jackson 2, Sea of Monsters*# The Burlesque Assassins This is a really appalling and dreadful Canadian movie, about a group of striptease dancers who work as assassins during the 1950s Cold War.

However, the actresses appearing in the movie are actually well-known Canadian striptease artistes, and, during the film, they each present their own signature striptease routine.

Photographer Jill Gocher is a Balibased independent photographer, writer and editor who has spent her life exploring Asian cultures. She first visited Bali in 1972, but it wasn’t until 2006 that she took up residence on the island. Her first job was as the editor of Hello Bali magazine. Over the years she has worked closely with the Indonesian Tourist Promotion Board and wrote and photographed articles for a number of regional and international magazines, including Silver Kris, PATA News, National Geographic, Time. Jill has authored and photographed numerous photography/travel, guidebooks and coffee table books on Indonesia, worked on a book on the history of Riau for local publisher Leonard Leuras. Jill has held exhibitions in Singapore, Kathmandu and Bali. She is currently taking part in a photography exhibit at the Tony Raka Gallery in Mas. When did you first take up photography? When I was 14 that I took a photo of two nuns in a park in Melbourne. It was a misty morning and I followed them around, hiding behind trees till I could catch them backlit by the wintry sun. It was fabulous! Ever since those early days it seems that taking pictures has always been a part of my life. My big dream early on was to be a travel photographer, which is pretty much what eventually happened. I learned to write to make it easier to sell my photos. I have spent so much time travelling and photographing in exotic places I tend to forget what life was like before. In fact, I’ve always had so much work and too little time to plan a career! But now I am increasingly interested in photographing the art of travel rather than taking earnest pictures of “native” people. Lets move it a step up I say.

say, “capture.” The best photos come when you work with a subject rather than poke a camera in their face. For this, you will always be rewarded. I see so many stony, hard faced pictures, or worse, frozen pictures, where there is no connection between subject and photographer. Thirdly, composition. Composing a photograph is always an intriguing exercise. You don’t just point and shoot. You place the elements together until they form an harmonious whole. How do you describe your photographic style? Right now I would describe it as eclectic. I’m always working towards developing a new style. I look all the time. We need to be aware – awareness in life is key! People usually operate within a distance of only a few feet and forget to step back and take in the bigger picture, a habit that can enrich your life. In any kind of photography, whether it is a portrait, a villa, a landscape or food porn, I try to get to the heart of the matter. I try to reveal the essential character of what I am photographing. This is always a thrilling exercise. What kind of equipment do you use?

C/E/G-25 Dec. 13

My newest camera is my iPhone 5. I considered it a lot before I invested in it but it is fantastic. The apps that come with it can give you the quality of a picture that takes hours to get with your Nikon and Photoshop! I’ve had plenty of images published with smartphone cameras, even full page. My other great camera is a Nikon 7000 – my latest in a long line of Nikons – starting with an F2. I also have a Lumix which has been a wonderful tool because you can take it everywhere. It’s Leica lens gives amazing clarity and its functions, once you get the hang of them, are perfect. Are there ways to make a cheap camera behave like a fancy one? Although it impresses the hell out of people and they think you are a better photographer, you don’t need a $10,000 camera system to shoot like a pro. Cheap cameras can still make great images. It is all in the eye and the knowledge of what you are doing. Practise makes perfect. The drawbacks to using cheaper point-and-shoots is that you have no control over the settings and the camera thinks for you. C/E/I-25 Dec 13

When taking pictures of famous places like Borobudur or Tanah Lot, how can one keep the image from looking amateurish? You get there pre dawn, take a tripod and find a beautiful vantage point to shoot from. What do you personally gain from your work? I get great satisfaction in having created something of value or extracted from the visual spectrum something worthwhile. Earnest Haas used to say that while an artist starts with a blank canvas, a photographer starts with a full palette and needs to extract the image from that to create his personal vision.

Who were your influences? What are you involved in right now? There are so many! Henri Cartier Bresson of course, Bill Brandt, Andre Kertez, Latigue, all the French impressionists, Helmet Newton, Steve McCurry and his magnificent work, Monsoon. I also admire the work of David Hemmings who played the photographer in Antonioni’s movie, Blow up. Half of Melbourne went to study photography after that movie. Most recently Gregory Colbert who seems to be influencing the whole photography planet!

I’m taking part in a wonderful photography exhibition at Tony Raka Gallery - arguably Bali’s best gallery - featuring the work of 30 photographers – many from Jakarta, international and Balinese, each with a different vision. It will be on until January 12th. I urge anyone with an interest in photography to go take a look. It will be an eye opening experience.

Do you have a philosophy about how to take a good picture? Photographing is all about light! After all, it is light that creates the image. So work with the light. For the most part, early morning and evening are the most beautiful times to take pictures, although midday is great when you want a hard edged style and full saturation. The second thing is you don’t “take” a photo or as the electronic devices

A Family Oasis: The Westin Resort on Nusa Dua Beach

The Westin Resort has recently been refreshed and changed its concept to cater for all the families wanting to relax, unwind and have fun. It is gorgeous sitting on a white sandy beach and the range of recreation options is amazing: three pools, a variety of water sports, two tennis courts, a gym, a new spa and more importantly the Westin Kids Club. Following friends’ recommendations, we decided to treat ourselves to a Saturday night stay and fully enjoyed the experience, stretching our weekend until the popular Prego Family Brunch on Sunday. This resort knows how to treat children and made us feel particularly welcome. When we checked in, our children were given a bag with a water bottle, a hat, a world map for kids, postcards to color in, color pencils and information about the kids club. Our room was in the new aisle that just opened this September where the Prego restaurant is as well as the Heavenly Spa. Our bedroom was enchanting, comfortable, light and stylish. Our kids’ favorite was the bath and the foam was a creative activity in itself. We thoroughly enjoyed the crystal clear swimming pool with its fun 12-meter waterslide providing hours of fun. The beach is golden, clean and beautiful. The hotel has a bar and restaurant for refreshments and bites to eat at all times. And now for the breakfast: one of the best and most copious and varied we have tried in Bali! A special kids corner offers kids’ favorite foods, furniture adapted to their size and a TV with cartoons. After that, knowing that we would go the brunch around midday and make the most of it, we decided to spend a few calories and energy swimming in the sea and walking along the seaside. Prego Italian restaurant is a highlight of the resort. It serves authentic and delicious Italian food and we heard that the Sunday brunch is the island’s biggest buffet of Italian delights. The Prego Family Brunch is on every Sunday from 11.30 am to 3 pm. It is open to hotel resident and non-residents and it seems to always be busy so we would recommend that you book ahead of time. The restaurant is pleasant and the choice of dishes is excellent; great breads, a wide choice of starters, meats, pasta dishes, salads and a long and appetizing counter covered with mouth-watering desserts. It was hard to take the kids away from the chocolate fountain! For children, they also have candy Àoss and a popcorn distributor and a special buffet in an area designed for kids with tables and chairs at their size. Children can also join the activities outside while supervised by professional and friendly staff. Parents can take their time to eat and drink leisurely. Active children can make the most of the expansive outdoor playground area with their miniature soccer ¿eld. Indoor activities are also on offer such as cupcakes decorating, photo session with Pipo The Squirrel and Play Station games. The day we visited, a treasure hunt was organized from 12pm to 1pm. Children had fun looking for the treasure and they all won a small box of delicious cakes. They were also given a “Passport” and whenever they come back, they will get a stamp and a present when the passport is full. The

price of the brunch is reasonable at 350 000 Rps per adult and half price for children. It is free for under 4s. The resort’s kids club is truly a special place for children with three areas especially designed for toddlers, children and teens. They provide complimentary activities throughout the day. The environment feels secure and they staff is friendly and professional. Toddlers can play at the shady sand playground with slides, swings, rideable cars, and more or spend time indoors out of the sun playing with early-development toys or Legos. They can also take an afternoon nap on the bunk beds or on large Àoor cushions. The 4 to 12 year children have a separate playground with a climbing wall, a trampoline, and a sandpit. That is the place where my children couldn’t get enough of! Inside, they also enjoyed the photo corner and the Play Stations. Finally, the Teens Zone is the place to hang out on beanbags, play on the Wii, use Internet-equipped computers, play billiard or watch a movie on demand on the home theatre. Their daily activities offer a lot of variety for all tastes, including yoga for children, tennis clinics, culturally-inspired pastimes and other healthy outdoor pursuits. Please note that the kids’ club is reserved for hotel resident young guests and is complimentary.

We visited the Spa with my daughter and loved every minute of it. In between the two of us, we tried the mini-manicures and pedicures, hair braiding, and foot reÀexology. The full menu for kids include a 30 minute soft massage, a mini facial, twinkle toes & fancy ¿ngers, “Best friends forever” (girlfriend fun with fresh facial and nail color of your choice), Prince or Princess treat (pamper like a prince and princess with a Westin kids massage and choice of temporary tattoo or pretty nail art), Mommy & me (enjoy some special Mommy time with a massage by the beach), My birthday wish (enjoy your birthday with a choice of massage, face painting/temporary tattoo or facial with manicure and pedicure), Hairstyling, Hairbraiding (half/full head, short/medium/long hair). It is also possible to have a special “Spa-rty” for your birthday.

C/E/I-25 Dec 13

The “Love Your Family Program” is perhaps what makes the Westin Nusa Dua different and much more family friendly than other hotels. A range of seven fun activities are offered to families for everyday of the week so that they can enjoy their time together: fun mini-golf on Sunday, Star Gazing on Monday, Kids Aquacise on Tuesday, Movie Night on Wednesday, Balinese Dance on Thursday, Parent’s Night Out on Friday and Kite Flying on Saturday. Apart from the excellent facilities, the quality of the food, the high standards of the hotel, it is the attention to detail and attentiveness of the staff that we particularly appreciated as a family. Our kids felt warmly welcome and are already asking: “When are we going again Mum?!” For more information and booking: tel 0361 771 906 or email: dining.bali@westin.com - Visit their website: www.westinnusaduabali.com or facebook.com/pregobali

Canyoning in Bali An Extreme Sport with a Zen Nature In the realm of extreme physical challenges, canyoning must rate high. Canyoning is the activity of exploring canyons, most often following a river or water course, using a variety of techniques that may include hiking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling (also called rappelling), and swimming. Canyoning is no sport for sissies. Because it can be a dangerous undertaking, it requires several levels of skills needed to descend canyons that have to be acquired by learning and experience. Often canyoning involves dealing with swift water and necessitates specific techniques to safely descend waterfalls that are thundering down at breakneck volume and river beds that flow with alacritous speed. Canyoning is a sport that is practiced worldwide and is fast becoming popular in Bali as well, thanks to Bali’s wonderful topography including many canyons in some of the most stunning natural landscapes and settings that beckon exploration and immersion. Its abundant canyon formations, deep river gorges and underground river beds are an ideal environment and backdrop to the sport of canyoning. It is an adrenalin filled sport that actually induces a Zen-like state caused by a total focus on the present moment. It requires a certain degree of physical and mental fitness, discipline, training, a fair bit of courage and teamwork. Canyoning practitioners range from the neophytes who are on their first trip to the fervent aficionados, who continually challenge themselves to rappel down even more challenging rock faces and brave descents into unknown and previously unexplored caves. Canyoning is different from caving; simply put, canyons are open and caves are closed-in environments. Canyoning can actually be a combination of both. When rappelling (or abseiling) down the canyon face the practitioners will drop down to a river bed and use a combination of trekking, swimming and climbing to follow its course, oftentimes into underground caves. History and Development - Canyoning grew from the rather mundane sport of caving or spelunking into something more exciting and adrenalin pumping. The sport was pioneered in France in the late 1880’s and was a natural sequel to the oft practiced sport of caving. The sport has many adherents in Europe, less so in the US and Australia. How the sport came to Bali and grew into, not only a tourist attraction for the adventureminded but also a training ground for professional canyoneers and canyoning tour leaders is an interesting story. French expat Mika Denissot, the son of a professional French speleologist, has practiced caving since the age of 15 and in the span of some 27 years progressively advanced his knowledge and his daring. An avid canyoning practitioner, he is one of those savvy guys who parlayed his hobby into a money-making adventure by creating a company called Adventure and Spirit based in Mas which organizes canyoning adventures for all levels of expertise, even for beginners. So far it is the only company in Bali that offers canyoning adventures to tourists and expats. Adventure and Spirit is aptly named to capture the physical and mental essences of canyoning. They are unique because they are also the headquarters of ICOPro (the International Canyoning Organization for Professionals), a training school for professional canyoning team leaders worldwide. They adhere to the highest of safety standards and exclusively use French made equipment. It takes 2 years of relentless training to become a canyoning guide as they have to go through various levels of competency and safety & rescue training to attain the certificate of instructor. The majority of canyon treks organized by Mika’s company are on the beginner’s level as 90% of tourists that participate in this adventure have never canyoned before. Only about 1 % of his regular customers are expats who practice canyoning as a hobby and they are either Australian or European. Asians have not quite warmed up to this sport. Topography and techniques – Canyon treks always have a starting and arrival point that are oftentimes kilometers apart. Like rafting, it is always a one-direction descent albeit much steeper. A variety of ropes is used to make the descent; the longest rope

is 200 meters. Tourists on their first adventure receive an introductory session in rope techniques, basic rappelling and safety training prior to embarking on their first descent. Since these are all previously explored canyons, the bolts are already in place which means the adventurers just need to attach their ropes to the permanent bolts and abseil down the rock face. Normal bolting or attach points are made on the rock face of the canyon and anchors are screwed into pre-drilled holes. Yes, that means a cordless drill is part and parcel of the canyoneering equipment at all times. Sometimes other anchor points may be used like tree trunks or rock outcroppings where the rope is wound around the anchoring point or strong tree roots or vegetation which can bear the weight of a few hefty canyoneers. All equipment used in canyoning is of the highest international standard; the ropes and anchors must be able to sustain a pull of 2 tons. For safety, all bolts are secured in pairs. Because of the inherent risk, training and safety are the most important elements on the trek. N e e d l e s s t o s a y, canyoneering requires a good level of physical and mental fitness and one must be able to swim. It takes a certain personality to deal with the many challenges which are not restricted to physical prowess. Mentally the stress is just as acute as the taxation on muscles and body. That is why it is not a good sport for the timid but seems to attract the adventure minded and the personalities who want to push themselves to the limit. The ideal sport for hyperactive A-types –When asked what motivates him and what kind of personality is attracted to this extreme sport, Mika readily admits he is hyperactive and needs to have an outlet for his energy. He strives for the thrill and the adrenaline rush he gets when practicing this sport, what the French so elegantly express as le frisson. It is intense, physical as well as mental, and his A-type personality pushes him to explore his boundaries and challenge his limits. The actual descent requires unrelenting focus on what he is doing, what is happening to his body and how it interfaces to his immediate environment. He must be totally in the present moment and reaches a level that is akin to a Zen state, a point in time when time virtually stops and the present moment is all there is. It’s a level he calls the “awe” point where he fully feels alive. This total focus is a triune of being one in body and mind and one with the natural elements around him. He feels at once humble and one with the nature around him. This Zen state is attained after the adrenalin rush of the initial physical exertion, when he gets into a more mental, even spiritual zone and all training instinctively takes over. Canyoning is exhilarating because it is a one-way street. You can rappel down but not up, therefore it requires total commitment and the knowledge that there is an exit point somewhere down the course. The joys encountered while canyoning are manifold: there is the glow of the sport, the satisfaction of surmounting physical challenges, the awesome moments of feeling one with nature and encountering and seeing flora and fauna seldom seen above the canyon. The animal life can be astounding and the jungle of a beauty and mystery that has long been obliterated in other parts. Canyoning in Bali Most of the guided descents are in the canyons around Kintamani and Git-Git in Singaraja or the Aling Gorges. Mika’s personal descents, where he takes no tourists, take place in the Catur valley that houses many unexplored canyons. This is, in fact, his greatest pleasure: to discover and explore new canyons and descents. He finds them in a variety of ways: from local knowledge of a starting or ending point, by using GPS, from government survey maps called peta

rupa bumi, by using Google maps and sometimes by reconnoitering a secondary exit point that intersects with a known canyon. The frisson or sense of adventure is caused by the total mystery of the terrain in between. He literally does not know what the course is going to be between the start point and the perceived end point. He does not know what obstacles or blockages can be encountered once he has started the descent. The wildcatting of unexplored canyons is Mika’s true passion. These require such advanced skills that no tourists or amateurs are allowed on the trek. He relies entirely on his instincts and his professional team. One of Mika’s most rewarding new discoveries was Tukad Api, the Canyon of Fire in Sambangan. It took 2 years for Mika and his team to explore this beast from starting point to exit and they did it in reverse as the exit point was known since it intersected the course of another canyon that they had already explored. It took them 2 years to find the actual starting point because the canyon is only accessible during a 3 to 4 month period. It takes more than physical fitness, a sense of adventure and courage to explore new canyons. Knowledge of the geological formation of the canyon rock is required to assuage if the rock is reliable enough to hold the anchors. In addition it requires a serious knowledge of hydrology, volcanic constitution, meteorology and psychology to make a successful descent. Canyoning in Bali has never been practiced by the Balinese. Culturally they fear the water and underground spaces. Mika’s team is made up of French and Javanese guides who have been caving since childhood. Contrary to the Balinese, the Javanese people are intrepid speleologists; the exploration of caves and canyons is part of their childhood games. In general, canyons in Bali are not very accessible because they are well hidden or have a virulent water course; and some of the known ones are totally inaccessible in the rainy season. The ideal canyoning season is April to January. The classification of canyons follows universally accepted norms and, like the grading of rapids in rafting adventures, denotes the degree of difficulty on a scale of 1 to 7. The difficulty of the descent, water force encountered and commitment or time required to explore are assigned values. Using V=vertical, A=aquatic and roman numerals to denote the degree of commitment, a canyon can be graded for instance as V5.A2.III, meaning that the vertical drop is fairly steep, the aquatic force is relatively weak, and the commitment is average. The adventure of canyoning puts you in very intimate touch with nature and the forces it can unleash. It remains a wild a n d unpredictable sport; you have to be prepared to deal with unstable rock formations – the danger of rock avalanches is real- a sudden rain squall that can change a benign waterfall or current into a raging bear. Therefore the credo of any canyoneer is respect for the environment foremost. This also means they don’t pollute and don’t litter. Here again is a variant of that oft-repeated mantra: take nothing but your pleasure, leave nothing but your bolts. A full program of available canyoning adventures for all levels are described on www.adventureand spirit.com. When you are ready to take up the challenge call for more information at +62 361 971 288. Mika tells wonderful stories of his canyoning excursions and assures us that, with reasonable safety precautions, this sport can be an exhilarating way of expressing your inner adventure spirit.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

The Hangover Avoid It, Treat It & Get-Over-It It’s the silly season and it’s time to be silly, sillier and try not to be the silliest. Several good nights drinking are probably on the cards. Nights that run into days will eventually cause you to be, to say the least, as little ‘run down’. Throbbing headaches, nausea and blinding rays of sunlight light will thrust you into the terrifying throes of the HANGOVER! Experts actually know very little about what causes a hangover. Potential culprits include disrupted biological rhythms or even alcohol withdrawal, and research suggests that congeners—toxic substances found in alcohol, especially dark liquors such as whiskey—may also play a role. The only way to avoid a pounding head and queasiness the morning after is to drink in moderation, or to stay away from alcohol entirely. But it’s often easy to overindulge. Sooooo - here’s a handful of steps you can take to avoid the next-day-blues. PREVENT IT Take a multivitamin The body can deal with a certain amount of alcohol thanks to the liver. Enzymes in the liver convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is the chemical responsible for that embarrassing facial flushing, as well as the headaches and nausea which are part and parcel of hangovers. In order to detoxify alcohol, liver enzymes require the mineral zinc and B vitamins, particularly B1. A good multivitamin will contain these nutrients. Eat before you go Eat a nutritious meal before you go to the party. Food in your stomach will also slow down the rate of alcohol absorption. Take St Mary’s thistle St Mary’s thistle (Silybum marianum) is the liver herb. It has been shown to protect the liver against alcohol damage and reduce the severity of a hangover, particularly if taken a few hours before the event. Pace Yourself The average liver handles about one standard drink an hour. Remember, a standard drink is not a Long Island iced tea. A standard drink is a schooner of light beer, a small glass of wine or champagne (150 ml), or a nip of spirits. More than this and unpleasant by-products such as acetaldehyde circulate in the bloodstream, maintaining a holding pattern above the liver until it is ready to take on more grog. Alternating your drinks with water or another nonalcoholic beverage can help you slow down and stay hydrated. Support your liver Beetroot, ginger and lemon are all good for the liver. They combine the sweetness of carrots with the therapeutic properties of ginger and beetroot to support the liver and reduce the effects of a hangover. So juice it! THE CURE Drink coconut water Dehydration is a major contributor to a hangover. If you have partied hard, as soon as you get home (no matter what time), drink 2 glasses of coconut water. The fluid will rehydrate you, and the coconut water will top up your electrolyte (minerals) and blood-glucose levels, both of which take a beating with heavy drinking.

C/He/I-27 Nov 13

(Note - Don’t try climbing a coconut tree while under the influence!) Take pain relievers Non-steroidal analgesics (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol may help with head pain. Rest People sleep poorly after a night of drinking. Alcohol will put you to sleep quickly, but when it begins to wear off several hours later, the withdrawal your body feels can disrupt sleep and jolt you awake. Although sleep deprivation won’t by itself cause a hangover, it definitely can make the symptoms feel worse. If you have the luxury of a sleep-in then it’s a good idea to stay in bed. THE MYTHS Hair of the dog A morning-after dose of alcohol may temporarily help your symptoms but could hurt in the long run. Hangovers make you feel horrible because alcohol is toxic. That morning drink could lead to an even worse hangover the following day Greasy breakfast There’s no scientific evidence that a heaping helping of bacon and eggs will ease hangover anguish, even though many people swear by it. Eat light and stay hydrated is the key. Hangover pills There are lots of hangover “cures” in a bottle out there but very little evidence to back up claims. Taking a multivitamin instead can be more effective. Coffee If you’re a regular coffee drinker, skipping java when you’re hung over may—or may not—be a good idea, If you are a regular coffee drinker go for it, otherwise you may get a caffeine-withdrawal headache on top of your hangover woes if you miss your regular morning fix. Sauna Think you can “sweat out” the alcohol and other toxins you may have consumed during a night of partying? Think again. A sauna can cause potentially dangerous blood vessel and blood flow changes in your body. The last thing you need is to disrupt the normal blood-flow patterns by extreme heat.

ParacelsusAsia

Memory Not What it Was? Losing your Edge? Don’t get Spooked… you could just be short a Vit

Alzheimer’s’ and dementia are an all too real and increasing fear for many of us as we age. For the most of us it won’t be quite so dire, as our bodies and brain gradually deteriorate. But what if those worrying symptoms that scare us can be reversed easily and cheaply by simply correcting a widespread vitamin deficiency? ParacelsusAsia looks at a widespread nutritional deficiency, which starts when we’re young, with serious consequences but a simple solution. Let me put a question: do you fear any of following diseases, and if you do, what do you think they all have in common? Alzheimer’s, dementia, cognitive decline and memory loss, which too many physicians like to refer to as “aging”. Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological disorders. Mental illness (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis). Cardiovascular disease. Childhood learning or developmental disorders. Autoimmune diseases. Cancer. Male and female infertility. Answer : they can all mimic the signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is little recognized by both doctors and public that vitamin B12 deficiency is an invisible epidemic with serious consequences. B12 deficiency isn’t a bizarre, mysterious disease, it’s written about in every medical textbook. Its causes and effects are well known. And yet, B12 deficiency is far more common than is realized. Research shows that 40% of people between the ages of 26 and 83 have B12 blood levels in the low normal range – a range at which many experience neurological symptoms. 9% have outright deficiency, and 16% exhibited “near deficiency”. Most surprising is the fact that low B12 levels are as common in younger people as they are in the elderly. That said, B12 deficiency has been estimated to affect about 40% of people over 60 years of age. It means that a good part of the symptoms we attribute to “normal” aging – such as memory loss, cognitive decline, decreased mobility, etc. – are often caused by B12 deficiency.

Why is B12 deficiency so under-diagnosed?

B12 deficiency is often missed for two reasons. First, it’s not routinely tested by most physicians. Second, the low end of the lab reference range is too low. This is why most studies underestimate true levels of deficiency. Many B12 defi cient people have so-called “normal” levels. Yet the research clearly shows that people with B12 levels between 200 pg/mL and 350 pg/mL, considered “normal” in the U.S., have defi ciency symptoms. Experts specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of B12 defi ciency say we should be treating all symptomatic patients with B12 levels less than 450 pg/mL. They also recommend treating patients with normal B12, but elevated urinary methylmalonic acid (MMA), homocysteine and/or holotranscobalamin (other markers of B12 deficiency). In Japan and Europe, the lower limit for B12 is between 500-550 pg/mL, the level associated with psychological and behavioral manifestations such as cognitive decline, dementia and memory loss. Some experts have speculated that the acceptance of higher norms in Japan and their willingness to treat levels considered “normal” in the U.S. explain the low rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia in that country.

What is B12 & why do you need it?

Vitamin B12 works together with folate in the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells. It’s also involved in the production of the myelin sheath around the nerves, and the conduction of nerve impulses in the brain. Severe B12 deficiency in conditions like pernicious anemia, an autoimmune condition where the body destroys the protein necessary for the absorption of B12, used to be fatal until scientists figured out death could be prevented by feeding patients raw liver (which contains high amounts of B12). But anemia is the final stage of B12 deficiency. Long before anemia sets in, B12 deficiency causes other problems, including fatigue, lethargy, weakness, memory loss and neurological and psychiatric problems. The absorption of B12 is complex and involves several steps – each of which can go wrong. Causes of B12 malabsorption include: intestinal bacterial imbalances; leaky gut and/or gut inflammation; gastritis or

low stomach acid; pernicious anemia, an autoimmune condition; medications (especially PPIs and other acid-suppressing drugs); alcohol and exposure to nitrous oxide (during surgery or recreational use). This explains why B12 deficiency occurs even in people eating large amounts of B12-containing animal products. In fact, even people who eat meat 2-3 times a day can be deficient. In general, the following groups are at greatest risk for B12 deficiency: • vegetarians and vegans • people aged 60 or over • people who regularly use PPI drugs or acid suppressing drugs • people on diabetes drugs like metformin • people with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac or IBS • women with a history of infertility and miscarriage

Note to vegetarians and vegans: B12 is found ONLY in animal products

B12 is the only vitamin that contains a trace element (cobalt), which is why it’s called cobalamin. Cobalamin is produced in the gut of animals. It’s the only vitamin we can’t obtain from plants or sunlight. A common myth amongst vegetarians and vegans is you can get B12 from plant sources like seaweed, fermented soy, spirulina and brewers yeast. But plant foods said to contain B12 really contain B12 analogs called cobamides that actually block intake of and increase the need for true B12. That’s why studies consistently demonstrate that up to 50% of long-term vegetarians and 80% of vegans are deficient in B12.

The effects of B12 defi ciency on kids are especially alarming. Studies have shown that children raised until age 6 on a vegan diet are still B12 deficient even years after they start eating at least some animal products and pay a considerable cost in sub-optimal cognition as a result. As someone who doesn’t eat meat I respect anyone’s right to make their own choices. I also know that, like all parents, vegetarians and vegans want the best for their children. That’s why it’s vital that those that don’t eat animal products understand there are no plant sources of B12, that all vegans and most vegetarians should supplement with B12.

Treatment of B12 deficiency

One of the saddest things about the B12 epidemic is that diagnosis and treatment is relatively easy and cheap, especially when compared to treatment of the diseases B12 deficiency causes. A B12 test costing $60.00 can be performed by any laboratory, and should be covered by insurance. As always, adequate treatment depends on the underlying mechanism causing the problem. People with pernicious anemia or inflammatory gut disorders like Crohn’s disease are likely to have impaired absorption for their entire lives, and need B12 injections indefinitely. This may also be true for those with severe B12 deficiency causing neurological symptoms. Cyanaocobalamin is the most frequently used form of B12 supplementation in the US. But evidence shows that hydroxycobalamin used in Europe is superior to cyanocobalamin, and methylcobalamin is superior to both, especially for neurological disease. Japanese studies show methylcobalamin is the most effective neurologically because it is better absorbed and bypasses potential problems in B12 absorption. If you suspect you have B12 deficiency, get yourself tested. If you are deficient, consult a doctor and identify the deficiency. Once identified, the appropriate form (injection, oral, sublingual or nasal) of supplementation, the dose and the length of treatment can be selected. So, next time you find yourself “having a senior moment”, you don’t need to panic or even dismiss it as “just aging”. You can do something about it. It could be as simple as B12 deficiency.

Season Greetings to all those that celebrate Christmas. ENDURANCE SPORTS

WA in 2012 and earlier this year Ironman New Zealand and then Ironman Japan defeated her. She never, never, never gave up and her dream came true.

This week we profile a person who has been a regular participant in endurance events in Bali for the last 5 years and recently achieved a personal milestone.

As, Robyn Stanley one of the world’s most outstanding triathletes called Yanti “the comeback queen and a true inspiration”.

Arsiyanti Ardie, better known to all here in Bali as Yanti became the first Indonesian women to complete an Ironman event by finishing the Ironman West Australia in Mandurah. For those not familiar with an Ironman event it is 3.5 km. swim, followed by a 180km bikeride (in Bali that would be Nusa Dua to Amlapura... and back) and finished with a full marathon run, yes 42 km. In short an event for very few people on this planet.

Sports Events 2014

Yanti, veteran of the Bali Ocean Swim and Bali Triathlon, two days after organizing the Quadrathon at the Bali Beach Games, flew off to Perth and with fiancé ex-paralympian Kingsley Bulgarin in support, swam 1 hr 11 mins 32 secs, slowly went through the first transfer in 14 mins 39 secs, nailed that 180km bike in 7hrs 17 mins 51 secs, prepared for the run with a second transfer of 8 mins 48 secs and then covered the 42.2km “run” in 6 hrs 57 min, 09 secs.That the winner of her category had finished over 6 hours before made no difference to her personal achievement. Yanti had tried, tried, tried and tried again to become an “Ironman”. There were unsuccessful attempts at Ironman Melbourne &

Looking forward to 2014, we see a number of regular events returning in 2014 with the Bali International Cricket Sixes over the Easter weekend, the Twenty/20 Cricket in May, the Coaltrans Friendly Games on June 1, the Bali Geckos AFL Masters in Early June, Bali Marathon in mid June, the Bali Triathlon on June 22, the Bali Ocean Swim on July 6, Bali ParaGames July 23-26, Bali Soccer Sixes on August 3, HOTAIR Kitesurf in mid August, Rotary Nusa Dua Tennis comp in September, AFL 9’s on October 4-5, Bali Rugby’s Bali 10’s on Oct 11-12, Bali Beach Games on November 1-2. And we hear whisper of full Mountain Bike Race series being muted for Bali in 2014, more on that in coming editions of This Sporting Life.

from the

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Why not Balinese? Balinese is an incredibly fascinating language to learn on so many levels, and it gains you a special acceptance with locals. Just this morning at the bank a Balinese man I’ve never met before said that to get to my level of Balinese (which I still consider to be way substandard) I would have had to “learnt how to sqat-shit in the river” quote unquote, and this gave my cheeks a warm glow in front of queues of grinning Bali-folk as I made another ‘deposit’ of the monetary kind. All jokes aside, surprisingly few foreigners or even permanent residents of Bali ever get to a level of fluency or master the language. A major reason is that it’s hard to know where we fit in. We’re not born into the complex Balinese caste system, so in theory we’re outsiders: does this mean everyone can just talk down to us and we have to talk politely to everyone else? (this is a sure-fire way to put anyone off learning a foreign language!); or since most of us are ‘dollar-ites’ and wealthy in the eyes of the Balinese, should we be treated specially with the deference of the cautiously spoken high language that, to coin cultural observer Made Wijaya, is reserved for the “Ida Bagusses” and “Anak Agoongs”?. A tricky one is if you marry into a Balinese family – for a woman this could mean that you become a ‘Jro’, a woman of caste; in this case, you could qualify for some serious language reverences if you insist upon it. Or perhaps it all depends on how one acts, meaning that a Perth bogan (don’t worry, Balinese have a special set of vocabulary reserved for animals) would be treated differently from a demure Japanese legong student? It can take many, many years of rice field squatting before you can become proficient enough to switch effortlessly between the language levels for you to be considered a part of the furniture in linguistic terms. The best part of it is the hilarious journey of misunderstandings, embarrassments and cultural faux pas that takes you there.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE DECEMBER 25 - JANUARY 08, 2014

The New Moon this fortnight is on the 1st January, 2014 and sits right alongside the Sun, Pluto and Mercury and will square Uranus as well as Mars in Libra. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer is pulled into this formation creating a grand cross as it sits opposite the Capricorn stellium. This is an extremely tense transit that is once more going to highlight the ongoing Uranus/ Pluto square. There is pressure and challenges as the impulse to change, grow, evolve, release, expand and act is heightened. The New Year intentions are particularly potent now as many are leaving behind relationships, jobs and living situations that no longer work for them. Health issues can be of concern, as well as the welfare of family and community members as the stresses of daily life in all of its extremes is acknowledged and we seek to find resolution, solutions and peaceful outcomes. Venus in Capricorn is retrograde until the end of January and Uranus is in forward motion until July. There’ll be experimental and radical solutions and ideas springing up during these coming months and we will remain under high tension with Jupiter and Mars continuing to challenge Uranus and Pluto who are exact again in April. The Capricorn cycle is a more serious and sobering time when we think of the future for our families and for our Planet and with Saturn the ruler of Capricorn in Scorpio pushing us on to face the hard situations, choices and responsibilities both personally and collectively. NEW MOON 10 Capricorn 57 January 1, 2014 07:15 p.m.

ARIES The New Moon is in your tenth house of career and how you see yourself out in the World. Many have their lives under review and a big focus is on the home situation as well as your significant relationships. There could well be endings to partnerships as you express your individual and eccentric self more than ever before. You are looking for a great deal of nurturing and nourishment from your environment and it is an important aspect to having you feel solid and supported in these ever changing times. Work this month will take precedent over all of your other concerns. It’s a bit of a tough balancing act.

LIBRA You have a lot of motivation now and are expressing yourself from your own authenticity rather than from whom others normally expect you to be. Relationships are going through a revolution for you and you may be experimenting with them. The basis of transformation is the home theme and you want to create and communicate and radically modify your living situation. This is the highlight of the coming month and you are ready to make some commitments here. As you nurture your career along at this time you will find much growth from seeking out your place in the World. This promises to be a very powerful year ahead.

TAURUS Pluto offers transformation as you expand your thinking way beyond its normal bounds and growth comes as you share your new perceptions in encouragement to others. Communication with family members is particularly potent. Releasing stress is necessary to keeping a balance within your body, mind and spirit and maintaining your health. Finding inner peace is of a higher priority now and so is spending time alone to integrate and to receive more of these insights and epiphanies that are modifying your life. You could be thinking a little more about travel this fortnight as you make plans with others.

SCORPIO As this month ushers in the New Year, you will find yourself actively seeking solitude. Through this solitude you will know more certainly how to move out into the workplace and revolutionize that environment. Transformation for you and responsibility may include some of your family members, as well as your written and spoken word. You are able to nurture others in a more expanded way as you allow yourself to grow through higher wisdom and information coming through the universal mind and teachings. There is a multi-cultural theme to this nurturing as well or you may seek out a teacher or guru to lead the way.

GEMINI There’s quite a serious overtone as you are faced somehow by your or someone else’s mortality. Perhaps you are confronted by death either literally or metaphorically speaking. Your values are shifting and changing and there is growth through your feelings rather than your thinking processes. There’s a call to community as you find your place among others and new friendships develop. Some will be experiencing a budding new romance, while others are more involved with children or making plans to have some of their own. Creative writing or some kind of creative expression will support you to find inner peace.

SAGITTARIUS You are really going through some serious transformation this month. It’s all about possessions, finance (including inheritance), your values and sense of responsibility to upholding them and you’re feeling really inspired to let go of many of them. You are all about taking action for and with your friends and your community. There’s the possibility of a sudden new romance or the news of the birth of a child. There’s a revolutionary new creative expression moving through and you feel compelled to share it and at the same time it catalyses the changes that must take place now. You can no longer settle for what was.

CANCER You may have a strong urge to change your appearance and at the same time to transform your primary relationships in quite a drastic but well thought out way. As you look to long-term, rather than short-term commitments there is a willingness to let go of those things or people that aren’t really supporting or are not in alignment with your beliefs and ideals. This is not something to be taken lightly and you will do a lot of serious thinking about your actions. This is the time to create beauty and peace in your home and to make some radical moves forward on your career path. Exciting and exhilarating times, no doubt.

CAPRICORN This month you find yourself changing your appearance and the very way that you communicate to others. As you nurture those that you love you find you yourself grow and experience more of your own authenticity. It works both ways in fact, for as you change you inspire others to do the same and as you encourage, you find the strength to do the same for you. There’s a great deal going on in the home, as well, you are taking new opportunities in your career or vocation. Balancing these two is quite the challenge. Bring the new thinking into how you can allow your home to become more spontaneously alive and flowing.

LEO Growth is coming through some spiritual nurturing and this gives you clues to the next part of your soul’s journey with regard to your happiness, health and service orientation. Remember then, to take some quiet time to delve deeply inside. You are learning to communicate in a non-threatening way your ideas and this promotes better relationships and the ability to share some of your loftier thoughts without fear. There is quite a strong focus this month on transformation through cultural themes. Whether you are set to travel or study there will be a serious commitment involved.

AQUARIUS Revolutionary new thinking is pushing you out into the larger world picture or view. Travel is high on the agenda and transformation runs deep and private. Your commitments will be more with the Divine than with a person or group of people although this will allow you to move out and give more in the workplace. There is a focus on your health and you will want to nurture yourself more than ever and also you may find this same nurturance is a part of your service orientation; caring a little more for the wellbeing and health of everyone around you and supporting and encouraging them to take care of themselves as well.

VIRGO Balancing your material needs and taking action on your decisions is highlighted as Uranus activates that area of your chart that has you sharing resources with others. This may come about through inheritance, legacies or partnership settlements. The creative aspect of your presentation through community orientation, groups or friends is under transformation. As you tend to be more serious at this time, allow it to be a part of the creative flow. You may be more about building structures or working with very solid modalities that are long lasting, than a softer flowing expression. This may be apparent in your relationships to children.

PISCES There could well be an unexpected windfall for you as you are motivated to share the resources at your disposal for the benefit of all. Restrictions are lifted as you show a willingness to participate deeply in relationship to others. Growth comes through this relating, your children, romance and creativity. The New Moon is in your community house of friends and groups and you will be willing to take more responsibility within those communities that you call home. These groups also create a platform for change and a powerful self-expression of nurturing care and joint participation brings solace to old wounds.

Nestetique was one of Bali’s first medical spas, located in the Kuta Galleria area [just before Ace Hardware]. It is a totally aesthetic spa offering unique treatments that utilise high-tech machinery and techniques. They were the first in Bali to offer Non-surgical Liposuction. Also on offer is Permanent Hair Removal, Lymphatic Massages, Multipolar Radiofrequency and Fractional Mesotransduction technology and Skin Rejuvenation programs. ICOONE is a patented technology, but unlike all other technologies, icoone® can be used to treat the whole body, including the most delicate areas (like the eyes, bust, neck, inner arms, inner thighs), with no pain whatever. The icoone® treatment generates increased flow in the blood microcirculation and in the lymphatic system, improves fibrillar slippage, and stimulates fibroblasts. The results are plain to see from the first few sessions: tissue fibrosis is reduced, lipolysis stimulated, and collagen production boosted. The skin is regenerated, looking more compact and toned.

JAMU is generally regarded as a ‘health drink’ but in fact can also be in paste form as used in traditional body scrubs [being left on the skin for a period of time the ingredients get absorbed into the bloodstream]. Developed centuries ago in the Kratongs of Central Java jamu form an integral part of Bali Hindu history. The accepted jamu authority is Serat Kawruuhbab Jampi-Jampi (A Treatise on All Manner of Cures) and it lists over 1,700 different jamu recipes made from fresh local fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices. They have traditionally been used to cure all ills, and are the base of traditional Bali medicine. At the Dala Spa at the rear of Ubud’s Alaya Hotel regular jamu classes are held when customers are taught the jamu history and participate in jamu making. YOGA was created as a way to discover peace of mind and body, by the ancient Indian priests and has since become a part of Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism yoga is one of the six astika schools of Hindu philosophy. Yoga is also an important part of Vairayana and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. In recent years Bali, in general, and Ubud in particular, have attracted many followers of yoga as specialist locations have opened at places such as Taksu, The Yoga Barn and Five Elements. Apart from the spiritual goals, the physical postures of yoga are used to alleviate health problems, reduce stress and make the spine supple. Yoga is also used as a complete exercise program and physical therapy routine. Regular classes are held at both Taksu and The Yoga Barn for both beginners and the advanced yoga followers. The Yoga Barn also holds an annual Yoga Festival that attracts participants from all over the world.

COMO SHAMBHALA @ BEGAWAN GIRI ESTATE hosts the spa of spas. When it was built an enormous hole was dug into the central hill, the spa was built effectively underground as the earth and grass was replaced back on top. Above was a giant inverted U shape so that the view was still there through the centre. Everything about this spa is quality. Amongst the underground facilities is a hydrotherapy pool, with reversed ions and underwater work stations. The holistic hydrotherapy treatments are water-based therapies that use water from The Source-a local spring revered by locals for its healing, mineral-rich properties. Once heated, this water fills the Estate’s Vitality Pool while a bio-energy water treatment system keeps it chlorinefree, alkaline and rich in several minerals. High-pressure jets are employed for massage and exercise. The staff at the spa include many international specialists and has even included ayuvedic doctors and nutritionists. Regular Retreats are held when world leaders in the various holistic arts visit and train/update the resident staff. The spa cuisine at GLOW focuses on a calibrated mix of raw and cooked ingredients with very specific nutritional purposes. Living enzymes are retained in the preparation techniques - all in order to help cleanse the body.

NAIL CARE is much more than just a manicure, although that is usually a part of the overall treatment package and an important one when the nails are first washed, then cut. The cuticles are pared and trimmed and the nails buffed before the more advanced and specialised nail treatments commence. On offer as well are many Acrylic and Gel nail treatments including polishing, clear, colour or French acrylic or Nail Gel. Nail extension or tips can be fitted as well as the removal of previous nail gel, acrylic or polish. At specialty spas, such as Nail Spa Bali, many package treatments are available, much more so than at regular spas.

WAXING is basically just the removal of unwanted hair from the body. The hair must be at least ¼ inch long for the wax to grab onto. A general rule of thumb is that hair needs to be a quarter-inch if it’s fine, a half-inch if it’s coarse. Any shorter and it’s too hard for the wax to grab onto. You’ll be sent home if hair isn’t long enough. The waxer will liberally apply talcum powder to the skin. Talcum powder keeps hot wax from sticking to skin. The best waxers are fast, which means less discomfort for you. The waxer will dip a wooden waxing stick into a pot of hot wax and then spread it onto your skin and hair. She will then apply a cloth strip over the still-warm wax, pressing firmly so the cloth, hair and wax adhere to one another. When the wax has cooled, she will pull the strip off, in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root. You might request a hard wax, which is thicker and is peeled off when cooled. It can be less painful. There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal. It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. It is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks. When hair is shaved or removed by depilatory cream, the hair is removed at the surface rather than the root. Within a few days, the hair can be seen at the surface. However Brazilian Waxing is something completely different! Brazilian bikini waxes were introduced to New York in 1987 by 7 Brazilian-born sisters (the J Sisters). The Brazilian remains a popular hair removal method in the US. Brazilian waxes differ from regular bikini waxes because hair is removed in the front, back and everything in between. A “landing strip” is typically left in the front, but some customers opt to have everything removed. For more information see our website: www.balispaguide.com C/He/G-25 Dec. 13

UBUD BALI HEALERS RETREAT Beginning on December 26, respected Balinese healer and teacher Made Surya is again offering his five-day intensive workshop: Balinese Healers and Healing. The program includes sessions in making herbal medicines, a purification ceremony at Tirta Empul temple, a visit to the medical department of Udayana University and to four traditional healers. In addition, Made and other respected teachers will offer seminars on Bali Hinduism and its relationship to traditional healing, the Kanda Empat, the magic of the left versus the right, misconceptions about tantra, and chakras. Pak Made has led study tours in Bali for 27 years, working with scholars, educational films and video crews, including National Geographic; Lonely Planet describes him as the “top authority on Balinese healers”. For registration, go to: www.danutours.com. AGEING? TRY YOUTHING! Do you have aching joints from sport, a fall or that infamous “ageing” process; has a doctor recommended surgery? If you know anyone with a bad knee, shoulder or hip, I suggest a visit with Tyr Throne, Ubud’s most recent healer resident. When I consulted Tyr last month, my whole upper right arm was in pain; I couldn’t even lift a saucepan and if I slept on that side, I’d wake up to throbbing pain. As I write this, I have had no pain for three weeks. None. Tyr put the healing in my hands, with some “youthing” exercises that have helped me to walk, stand and even dance with my body in a different position. The before and after photos were amazing from the first session. He has been a world-touring ballet dancer, martial artist, yoga teacher, and has quit a large healing practice in New York to live in Ubud while he writes a textbook called “Youthing”. Based at Taksu Spa, Tyr offers private sessions and has a weekly lunchtime session every Thursday, with exercises and information from his Youthing book. http:// somalogy.no/. OPEN MIKE NIGHT AGAIN T h e r e ’s s o m e t h i n g v e r y special about a stage shared by a seven year old poet, a “just braved my way out of the shower” singer and an internationally known musician. And yet it’s just a typical week at an “Open Mike Night”. Thanks once again to Penestanan’s Vespa Café and Ubud-based singer songwriter Vasudev, for letting us all share our energies and varying levels of talent in delightful, safe surroundings. Vespa’s Open Mike Night now runs every Thursday evening from 6-9.30pm. Get there early if you want to be sure of a seat, and tuck into a delicious cauliflower gratin before you try your luck behind the microphone. And whether you are audience or “performer”, please put a decent-sized note in the collection jar, to support the people who make this happen! Jl Raya Penestanan Kaja. BALI FARMERS GO ORGANIC A co-operative of 10 Balinese farmers sold their organic seeds for the first time ever at a farmers market in Batuan last month, marking the completion of their transition from chemical-intensive rice farming to growing organic vegetable seeds. The Bangli farmers began learning about organic farming methods and formed a collective two years ago, then began working with IDEP Foundation earlier this year. Benefits for the farmers are significant; they save around 75 per cent of costs simply because they use manure from livestock or ‘green manure’ from plants, instead of buying fertilisers or pesticides, they feed healthy produce to their families, they receive a fair income from the organic seeds they grow and they’ve reduced their dependence on multinational seed, chemical and fertiliser companies. IDEP is a local NGO that specialises in permaculture and chemical-free farming. www.idepfoundation.org

Richard Flanagan: The Man From Tasmania “At the end of our lives, all we have is our story and perhaps that is everything.” Deena Metzger By Uma Anyar There is a trace of Ernest Hemingway’s spirit in the writer Richard Flanagan, a certain charm coupled with a contentious purposefulness that compels an audience to sit up and listen hard. I witnessed Flanagan’s charisma at a session at the UWRF this previous October. He does not lap up Àattery nor suffer fools easily and that makes people take him seriously. To date Flanagan has written six very successful novels: Death of a River Guide (1994), The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997), Gould’s Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish (2001), The Unknown Terrorist (2006), Wanting (2008) and most recently, The Narrow Road to the Deep North (2013). Michael Cathcart (Books and Arts Daily—ABC National Radio in Australia) interviewed Richard Flanagan during the Festival. A record of it is: h t t p : / / w w w. a b c . n e t . a u / r a d i o n a t i o n a l / p r o g r a m s / booksandartsdaily/ubud-writers-festival3a-richardÀanagan/5022546. All novels contain aspects of the author’s experience of life. Flanagan latest book, The Narrow Road to the Deep North is particularly personal because it is rooted in his family’s history. The novel is about war and about the ways it lingers in the lives of survivors and their families. It is also about how memory is constructed by survivors of a Japanese POW camp on the Thai-Burma death railway. Flanagan’s father was one of the men in that camp in 1943. Flanagan wrote this book about love, he said, in the shadow of his father’s dying. He ¿nished it on the day his father died. If Deena Metzger is right, ‘that at the end of our lives all we have is our story and, perhaps that is everything.’ then Archie Flanagan, Richard’s father was a lucky man to have produced such a talented writer to tell his story. The book did not come easily, Flanagan said. The story nagged him for years. But though he had worked on various drafts, explored different styles for 12 years, none of them worked, so he burnt them all. The title The Narrow Road to the Deep North is taken from Basho, a Japanese Haiku poet who lived in the17th century. “And if it was the high point of Japanese culture then my father’s and his mates’ experiences in the 20th century Japanese POW camp was the low point.” As part of his research, Flanagan flew to Tokyo and interviewed several guards and even ‘the Lizard’, an old Japanese man who had been one of the most notoriously cruel guards in the camp. In the interviews Flanagan discovered their shame about the atrocities they had committed along with the reasoned explanations. War, he understood, harms everyone involved. Flanagan asked ‘the Lizard’ a bizarre request. To demonstrate what the guards had done to the Australians in the camp and to slap him across the face. Strangely after the old man complied, the room shook. Things rattled and fell off shelves, the floor and walls vibrated. Then, both men, already frightened, realized they were in an earthquake. ‘At the end of that meeting,’ Flanagan recalled, ‘wherever evil was, it wasn’t in that room with me and that frightened old man.’

The Deep North. It is a powerful deconstruction of heroism and the glories of war. Flanagan has worked in the ¿lm industry before, in 1998, when he wrote and directed his ¿lm, The Sound of One Hand Clapping. In 2008 he was co-writer on the Baz Luhrmann directed movie, Australia. Flanagan wants to be known as a novelist, he has said, but he has produced a number of excellent journalistic and historical articles for magazines and newspapers. His The Tasmanian Devil, a pro¿le of David Walsh, the Tasmanian gambler who created MONA (The Museum Of Old and New Art) appeared in The New Yorker (January 27, 2013). Within a week of reading that piece, I booked a plane ticket to see MONA. I was surprised to discover that a new model of what museums could be in the future was already operating not in London, Paris, or New York, but in Hobart! And more surprisingly David Walsh, the card-counting genius (banned from casinos in Las Vegas and Monte Carlo) has gradually assembled a world-class art collection dedicated to the topics of sex and death. This provocative collection includes a video installation piece that is based on a bet Walsh made with the French artist Christian Boltanski. Walsh agreed to pay Boltanski for the right to ¿lm his studio, outside Paris, twenty-four hours a day, and to transmit the images live to Walsh, in Tasmania. (The monitors are on exhibit at MONA). The payment was turned into a macabre bet: Boltanski was to be paid a monthly stipend until his death. If Boltanski, who was sixty-¿ve years old in 2008 (when the bet was made), lives longer than eight years he wins the bet and Walsh will end up paying more than the work is worth. In this case the artist will continue making art about death rather than becoming that art. Since Walsh is bigger than life and breaks the stereotype of what a gambler can do with his astronomical winnings then it takes a writer with Flanagan’s intelligence and agent provocateur bent of personality to produce the de¿nitive pro¿le on the eccentric genius and fellow Tasmanian. As the population of the island state is only 500,000 on a land mass of 68,332 square kilometres (26,383 square miles) in area, one ponders what is it about Tasmania that cultivates brilliant, challenging men like Flanagan and Walsh?

Flanagan has de¿nite opinions about his home and writing, which he shared in an interview with Giles Hugo for The Write Stuff. ‘There are a series of responses to Tasmania; one is to present it as a Gothic horror land, and the other is to present it as this Utopia. But nobody wants to look at truths that might be more complex. And everybody’s after a little box to put the place into, rather than to accept that it’s a large and moving mystery. And they ought to try to come to terms with some of the tensions that make that mystery, to me, so interesting. I personally think it’s a terri¿c place for a writer — there’s an enormous well of subconscious experience that’s accumulated over centuries. ‘I think a lot of the problem with Australian writing at the moment is people simply try to tap into their own talent, and that’s a frail and small world to draw upon and you’ve got to ¿nd something more and other than yourself to be writing about. I think the Tasmanian experience is a particularly powerful and rich one on which to draw. The great problem with a lot of Australian writing, I think, is that it’s constantly in Àight from the truths of this place rather than engaging with it.’ Richard Flanagan’s books are powerful and rewarding reading experiences — he doesn’t Àinch from engaging the truth.

retailtherapym@yahoo.com.au

Business commenced back in 2005 and has grown steadily. The batik process follows a set of guidelines, from a hand drawn pattern traced onto silk, a ¿ne line of wax applied to the pattern using a traditional ‘canting’. The ¿rst color, then a second, once ¿nished the fabric is plunged into a setting solution, dried with the ¿nal process into a pot of boiling water. This all happens in order to have an individual piece of silk! Batik silk by Quarzia is crafted totally by hand using traditional methods by a group of talented artisans who obviously require great patience plus a very steady hand, it’s a ful¿lling Mob which they all love! Quarzia silk pieces represent a rich elegance and will certainly add a ‘breath of fresh air’ to your closet! And what’s more each piece of silk will mix beautifully with other more structured pieces that you have.....enMoy!

How to create your own website

After the last article on registering your domain name, now it’s time to actually create you web site for all your friends, family, and customers to see. Maybe a Facebook page or Wordpress blog just isn’t good enough. If so, it’s time to create your very own site from scratch. Relax; it’s not as difficult as you may think. Here are seven steps to get you started... Creating a Website: What You Need to Know Back in the day (maybe 3+ years ago), you had to be a computer programmer, or at least a pretty savvy geek to create a website. But those days are gone. You no longer need a degree in computer science, or a friend with a pocket protector to get the job done. Today I will tell you what you need to know to register your own “dot-com” name, hook up with a web hosting service, design your website, and make it pretty with free templates, photos and clip art. You’ll also learn where to go if you do need to learn some of the techie stuff, and how to begin selling your own products on the World Wide Web. 1. Choose a Domain Name and Register Your Domain Name - Reread my last article for this part of the process. 2. Choose a Web Hosting Service -- A domain name alone is not of much use. You need a Web server associated with your domain, and for that most people use a Web hosting service. A Web hosting service (“Web host” for short) provides all of the servers, software, high-speed connections, and other infrastructure needed to run a Web site. (Think ‘empty store’) All you have to provide is the Web pages and other content. Web hosting service plans come in all sizes and price ranges. There are free Web hosts, like Freehostia.com, designed for beginners and very light traffic. But free Web hosts limit the amount of storage space, bandwidth, and features that you can get. For under $50 a year, you can buy Web hosting service that does a lot more.

Many domain registrars also offer Web hosting services. While it’s convenient to have both services managed by the same company, it can also be more expensive. Shop around for a Web host that offers the services you need at the best price. You can easily point your domain name to any Web host.

3. Design Your Web Site -- Now that you have a place to host your Web site, it’s time to design it and write the HTML code that underlies every Web page. For many people, starting from scratch is intimidating. Your Web host may offer Web site templates or online site-building tools. You don’t have to begin with a blank page; there are many free professional-looking templates available. All you have to do is add or modify some text, insert your own images, and otherwise customize the template to make it yours. You can download some free templates at Free Web Site Templates (http://www. freewebsitetemplates.com/). 4. Learn HTML & Scripting -- Eventually, you will want to learn a bit about programming techniques for Webmasters. The World Wide Web Consortium offers a free online tutorial (http://www. w3schools.com/html/default.asp) to get you started. Scripting languages such as Javascript, PHP and Perl add interactivity to Web sites, such as online surveys, forms, etc. You may also want to become familiar with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to control the look and feel of your site. You can find free tutorials on all of these and other web programming topics here http://askbobrankin.com/so_you_wanna_be_a_ webmaster.html. 5. Photos and Clip Art -- A site full of only text is boring. You’ll want to add photos and clip art to your Web site. But you can’t just search for a clever image online and appropriate it as your own. Doing so could land you in legal trouble or on the receiving end of a royalty payment demand from the owner of the copyright. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to look for free high-quality cipart and stock photos. If you aren’t a photographer

Sell Your Stuff -- If you want to sell your own goods or services online, you can create an online store, or use a service designed to help you sell. See this article http://lifehacker.com/5732617/sell-your-stuff-online-without-ebayor-craigslist will help you find an online service where you can market and sell your own products. Services such as CafePress and Etsy handle the transaction for you, and take a percentage of the sale. If you want to create your own online store, managing the merchandising, shopping cart, payment processing and fulfillment from start to end, see the site http://www. businessnewsdaily.com/2617-shopping-cart-software. html. Whether you’re just setting up a personal homepage or launching a complex online business, the basic steps of creating a Web site are the same. Building a sharp-looking site is just a matter of learning to use the many tools available, or hiring someone who knows them. Even better, motivated do-it-yourselfers can benefit from the many free online resources for learning webmaster skills. ===========================================

HECTOR’S C/CI/G-29 May 13

A Christmas Sale Bargain BIMC has been a fixture at the high end of the medical and hospital sector in Bali for 15 years, the benchmark place for services available to everyone but predominantly accessed by foreign tourists, long-term foreign residents and well-heeled Indonesians. So the slightly skewed preChristmas reports that it had been bought by Siloam, the Indonesian hospital chain that is a more recent arrival in Bali, might have rippled a few affogatos. Bali is Gossip Central, after all, where those who spend their time counting white elephants assume that everyone else is in the same game-park. This is an island where unfounded rumour immediately becomes long-established fact. Indeed this often happens before the rumour has even been voiced. In fact (don’t you love that expression?) the news is rather more positive. We had another affogato on the strength of it and far from being shaken, it was not even stirred. Lippo Group, which owns Siloam, bought BIMC in a plan to create synergies in the hospital and health care sector. BIMC and Siloam will retain their own branding and continue to pursue their present market focus. BIMC Nusa Dua is focused on medical tourism, a growing element in global travel. BIMC chief Craig Beveridge will be executive chairman in Bali. He tells us Lippo chairman James Riady is excited by the deal and passionate in his vision to broaden the reach of international standard hospital and medical services here and in the rest of Indonesia, with new medical facilities already in the pipeline in Bali. There will be more to report in the New Year, when Beveridge gets back from Christmas down under. That LinkedIn post we saw earlier in December urgently seeking new executives for BIMC cannot have been what it might have seemed to those in the rumour mill.

Gone to the Dogs The dexterity demonstrated in the consummate skill with which people here can shoot themselves in the foot while poking themselves in the eye with sharp sticks and cutting off their noses to spite their faces is legendary. It’s so good that the authorities should probably promote bribe-watching as a tourist attraction. You could even do it on rainy days. We refer chiefly to the bureaucracy – at any level from the lowest village gouger to those in the plush comforts of life at the tip of the pile – since it does this with alarming frequency when it or some luminary within it is after money, preferably untraceable. It is also practised in the wider community, Indonesia-wide, especially when a mobile ATM (aka foreigner) is in play. Occasionally, since contagion is, well, contagious, cases of this affliction present in the foreign community too. For instance the fractious business of animal welfare in Bali, which is overwhelmingly a matter of foreign interest since local attitudes are determinedly of the Rhett Butler variety (“I don’t give a damn”) where they are not agnostic. There are some wonderful exceptions to this rule. Let that be well noted. This is to the point also because as is well known the Bali Animal Welfare Association’s veterinary clinic was shut down in September on a range of trumpedup and self-serving charges that anywhere else would have a hard time making it into the script of a popular stage farce. It never does to immediately ascribe malicious intent to reactions. Experience shows it’s far more likely to be idiocy or failure to establish the facts before mouthing off. That said, it is astonishing that the Bali Dog Adoption and Rehabilitation Centre, commonly known as BARC, immediately leapt out of its cage to proclaim that since BAWA had been closed everyone should give their money to them instead. And that on Dec. 18 (Diary deadline) it was still doing so. Moreover, it appears that it has been promoting this disinformation with the assistance of photographs that bear a remarkable resemblance to images owned by BAWA. There may be some personal history behind some of this angst, but that doesn’t matter to the dogs. There are enough sick, abandoned, malnourished canines in Bali to warrant the fulltime attentions of any number of refuges. A further point: It is BAWA that has runs on the board over Bali’s response to the rabies outbreak that commenced in 2008; on educational programs in the villages aimed at improved living conditions for dogs and the lives of villagers too; on combating the vile dog meat trade and illegal gambling centred around organized dog fights; and much else. So it’s time for a reality check, everyone. Perhaps that might spark a little cooperation for the greater good. Now there’s a thought.

Quite a Meowful Good news is to hand from Elizabeth Henzell at Villa Kitty in Ubud, who reported on Dec. 17 that Villa Kitty’s sus-

pended PayPal account donations@villakittybali.com had been restored, verified, and had its funds-in-hand limit lifted. Apparently the powers that be at PayPal had originally said they would close the account. Perhaps the good folk in Omahahahaha, USA, don’t know what a Yayasan is. Here’s a clue: It’s neither a spam/scam computer program nor a Mafi a-style crime syndicate. Elizabeth says: “Thank you again to everyone who offered donations that got us through that week of worry.” Villa Kitty is a great operation. It’s so good that it is now up to its limit with cats and kittens. That’s consistent with another of Bali’s grand traditions. Anything that actually works is instantly overrun by people fleeing from things that don’t and anyone who offers to help is bowled over in the rush.

The cat refuge needs people to adopt little vaccinated and neutered friends and to give them a good home so there’s room for others who are awaiting their chance for a better life. They do help keep the rats away, too. There was a benefit evening on Dec. 19 at Mingle in Ubud. It was called Le Chat Noel, which made it irresistible.

Aussie Dodgers Fewer Australians are coming here. That may be good news to the few among us who are incapable of declaring a personal exclusion zone around Jl Padma in Legian on lurcharound-half-naked-night. But it’s not good news overall. Australia is our closest large market. The West Australian capital, Perth, is virtually Bali’s dormitory suburb. For all sorts of reasons we should want to keep it that way. Some of these were outlined in the Diary on Dec. 11. Foreign tourist arrivals for October 2013 were 266,502 – up 4.3 percent over October 2012 (255,709) and arrivals for the 10 months of the year totalled 2,675,836, up 12.34 percent on the same period in 2012. But the number of Australian visitors in that period (668,902) was 2.11 percent down on Jan-Oct 2012.

They’re still in first place, outnumbering the second-placed Chinese two to one. There are several reasons for the decline. Among them is the fact that Australians – who like to think the English are the whingers – widely believe from in front of their 90cm flat-screen TVs with 50 cable channels pumping out pap at them and fast-fat food at the front door, that their country is up Ordure Creek. It isn’t. The other reason, much more valid, is that places other than Bali are now presenting holiday “experiences” that match or better Bali’s on price. On the bright side, the long comatose Japanese market is reviving.

C/CI/I-06 March 13

Ivan Ivanobitch We hear, anecdotally, of an incident at a popular Bukit area Thai restaurant recently that involved a party of Russians who claimed they had been poisoned by the plate of the day and told the staff to call the police, pending which they wrecked the joint. If you are a very Volga boatman indeed, one with permafrost for brains and a suddenly blotchy fairskinned squeeze possessed of DNA that might not be an exact fit with spicy Asian cuisine, it may be easy to become enraged. Cossacks probably swept angrily across the steppes for eons on far lesser excuse. On the other hand, if you think you have been poisoned, it’s possibly better to go to the clinic down the road than to demand that the plods be summoned. It must have been a potent poison. They returned some days later seeking further compensatory funds – their meal bill had already been waived – and threatened to wreck the place again. Such people really are more Rouble than they’re worth (boom-tish).

The First Noel This year, for the first time, the annual rite of Carols on Christmas Eve in Nusa Dua was held in Church and combined with Holy Communion. Previously the function has been held in a hotel but this year it was at Bukit Doa International Church, the Protestant Church in the unique complex of five religions at Puja Mandala, popularly known as Temple Hill. It was a great chance to experience true Christian Christmas fellowship in the Protestant tradition, including Midnight Mass. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and see you all in 2014.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

TIME TO TAKE STOCK OF 2013 AND PLAN FOR 2014 There is a saying that it you don’t know where you are going there are many ways to get there. The problem is that the outcome may not be a good one if you have taken the wrong way. This applies to life generally but particularly so where financial planning is concerned. If you have not previously made clear financial plans for the future the Christmas and New Year holiday break can be the best time to make a start. The first step is to look back and see where you have got so far.

usually the star performers, have seen another poor year. Most commodities have had a second very poor year, reflecting the global slowdown. Gold, which many analysts thought would reach $2,000 an ounce this year due to the continued printing of money by the US and others has instead fallen to close to $1,200 an ounce. Indeed, many if not most predictions for 2013 were way off the mark! Which makes the point that financial planning should be based on a longer view than one year.

What is your net worth at the end of the year?

So where should we put our money in 2014?

The starting point is to calculate your net worth as of the 31st December. This will then be your benchmark against which you can measure your financial performance when you conduct a similar exercise at the end of next year.

What is happening at the moment? The US is on track towards a strong recovery. This is likely to result in a gradual ‘tapering’ of the current process of printing large quantities of money each month to stimulate the economy. In theory this should be good for the US Dollar but not so good for emerging economies that have enjoyed the benefit of much of the additional money created. But the US national debt is still rising and has to be addressed before it causes another crisis. Much of Europe is now emerging from deep recession. The UK seems to be going from strength to strength. Asian economies are still growing at a faster rate than western ones but there are issues such as potential property bubbles. Unemployment is a problem almost everywhere.

Adding up the cash in your bank accounts is the easy part. Then you need to get current valuations of your financial holdings in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, savings and pension plans etc. together with any ‘real’ assets such as land, property, cars, gold etc. When allocating values to ‘real’ assets you should put a realistic figure representing what a ready and willing buyer would pay today. For example, if you bought a new car last week it is no longer worth what you paid for it but perhaps 10% to 15% less because it is now second hand! When putting a value to private savings and pension plans you have to indicate the surrender value, not the ‘book’ value of the investment. In the early years of a regular savings plan or an investment-linked life insurance policy the surrender value is likely to be much lower than the amount you have invested. Of course the point with such plans is that the benefits will accrue much later in life. But for the moment you have to take today’s value. If you hold any suspended funds – and quite a few were suspended in 2013 - it is better to write the values down to zero until funds are recovered or the funds are liquid again. So that the report reflects the big picture however you should make note of such cases in an addendum. Next you should make a note of all outstanding loans as these have to be deducted from the asset values. In a scenario that has affected thousands of people in the US and elsewhere since the 2008 crash house values have fallen below the amount owing to the bank. In these situations the asset becomes a negative one. An unlikely situation however in Bali! The above calculations should tell you at the end of the day your current net worth, although the full picture may need an addendum to include items such as pension plans that should change the picture in the longer term. A private equity / venture capital investment should be valued at zero since if successful it could return your capital ten times over but should it fail the investment would be worthless. Similarly an investment such as a structured note that has a maturity date but cannot be cashed in earlier is best valued at zero until it matures, although once again it should be recorded as an addendum.

What do the experts say? Marc Mobius, head of the Templeton group with some $800 billion of assets under management stated a few days ago on CNBC that even with tapering there was enough liquidity in the system to ensure a continued rise in the US market. He saw particular value in ‘frontier’ markets. These are markets which have not yet ‘emerged’ such as Middle Eastern countries and smaller Asian countries. He explained that the potential was enormous although investors should not expect immediate results.

As always, spread the risk widely and continue building up long term assets through savings and pension plans. With such plans, even market crashes can work to your advantage as you will be buying in at low prices and enjoying the benefits when markets rise again. An end of year review will cost you nothing but a little time and could make a big difference a year from now but more importantly, in the long term.

How have your investments fared in 2013?

Financial investments have been a mixed bag. Cash has seen record low returns, generally less than inflation. Cash in Rupiah has seen a 20% fall against the US Dollar and major currencies since the start of the year. The US stock markets however have had a very good year, although we are seeing a bit of a correction in this last month. Europe and Japan have also fared well but emerging markets,

Given that short term predictions are notoriously unreliable what should we do? Perhaps the safe answer is to take due account of the current global financial conditions and listen to the advice of respected experts but at the same time don’t assume they are right and endeavour to have a plan that will see you through all potential scenarios. For example, let’s say there was a broad concensus that stock markets were going to boom in 2014. One might be tempted to throw everything into the market in case the pundits were right. But if they were proved wrong you have too many eggs in the wrong basket. The correct approach would be to invest a healthy amount in the markets but also diversify into other assets and above all, maintain a large reserve in cash. Then, in the event of a stock market crash you would not have to panic-sell but could hold on to your stocks for several years if necessary until they recover.

You might also wish to take this opportunity to review aspects such as life and critical illness insurance. Are your assets sufficient to sustain your family at the same standard of living should anything happen to the breadwinner? Could your assets be wiped out by a serious medical condition?

If you own land or property in Bali you have probably had a very good year! It has not been the same everywhere but globally property prices are starting to recover from the disastrous 2008 crisis.

Yoga and Pilates Retreat (17 - 27 February) After the Christmas and New Year indulgencies, a retreat sounds just the recipe for rejuvenation of the body and soul. Bali always has had some great retreats and this one is just at the right time too. The first week will take place at a private resort up in Tanaban, surrounded by terraced rice fields at the shores of the Indian Ocean. We seem to focus on the congested south, forgetting that just a short drive out of the built up areas is the traditional Bali that we often feel has been lost further south. Your days will begin with a meditation session, snacks and fruit juice followed by a Pilates or Yoga classes and then lunch. Hiking plays a key role as well as trips to local villages and temples far from the tourist traps of the south in some of the most picturesque places in Bali which will take place in the afternoons. The evenings will begin with yoga or pilates and end with a meditation session followed by a meditation conference or a movie. Three reflexology workshops are also offered by Jaya Bharati in Sanur. Beginners are welcome. All you need to participate is enthusiasm, be in good physical condition and have a desire to share the retreat with others. Retreats are a great way to meet like minded people too. Do find out more at the website below. Book quickly as places are limited.

Local News Indo Palm Oil Company Demolishes Homes and Evicts Villagers in Week-Long Raid Indonesian security forces allegedly stormed several villages inside a Sumatran palm oil plantation destroying dozens of homes and looting residents’ property. Witnesses said the raids began when members of the Indonesian military (TNI) and the police mobile brigade (Brimob) descended on Padang Salak hamlet in Bungku village at 4 p.m. on Dec. 7 together with PT Asiatic Persada personnel and local thugs paid by the company. “That day [Dec. 7], they destroyed the homes of [Padang Salak residents] Budi and Peheng,” Norman, a resident of nearby Pinang Tinggi hamlet, told the press by phone on Monday (9/12). “The next day, they returned and destroyed around 50 homes of residents.” Norman estimated that as many as 1,500 staff, thugs and security forces were involved in the raids on Saturday and Sunday, a figure also reported in multiple Indonesian news outlets covering the attack.

According to a report on Monday by the Indonesian news portal beritasatu.com, some residents tried to stand their ground but were overwhelmed by the size of the mob. At one point on Sunday, according to the report, the clash came to blows and security forces fired shots into the air. These evictions are the latest incident in a more than 25-year conflict between PT Asiatic Persada, which until earlier this year was owned by palm oil giant Wilmar, and the indigenous Batin Sembilan community living inside the company’s concession in Jambi province on the island of Sumatra. Wilmar had earlier been accused of destroying the homes of 83 families living inside the concession in 2011 following another violent clash - also involving Brimob forces - over allegations that members of the community were stealing palm fruits from the company.

RI, Australia Resume Talks in Attempt to Resolve Spying Issue Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa and his visiting Australian counterpart, Julie Bishop, met here on Thursday (5/12) as part of efforts to ease bilateral relations in the wake of the Australian spying allegations. In November, President Yudhoyono suspended cooperation in three areas with Australia, namely joint military exercises, joint patrols to prevent the boat people from heading towards Australia and the exchange of intelligence information. Cooperation, the president had said, would be resumed if Australia agreed to develop a road map covering six steps, starting with Australia arranging a meeting with its Minister of Foreign Affairs or a special envoy to discuss sensitive issues related to Indonesia-Australia relations. The second step requires preparing a Memorandum of Understanding after consensus is reached on both sides.

That would be followed by intensive discussions on a draft protocol and code of conduct for future relations between both countries. The third step involves President Yudhoyono examining the draft protocol and code of ethics to ensure that they conformed to Indonesias requirements in light of the recent wiretapping issue. The fourth step requires formal approval of the protocol and code of conduct by both sides at an official event that would be attended by President Yudhoyono and Australian Prime Minister Abbott. The fifth step requires both countries to show that the protocol and code of conduct have been implemented. The final step calls for the resumption of suspended bilateral cooperation, after Indonesia’s trust has been completely restored in relations with Australia. (December 5th 2013)

Health Ministry Aborts Controversial Campaign on Condom Use The health ministers policy on the use of condoms, yet again, triggered controversy and opposition, particularly from Muslim leaders in this country, which has a Muslimmajority population.

Indonesia will have around 1.8 million new HIV/AIDS patients within the next decade. Earlier, Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi was reported as saying that promoting the use of condoms was not wrong.

Last year, just a few weeks after being appointed as health minister, Nafsiah Mboi was strongly criticized for her plan to distribute free condoms to fight HIV/AIDS.

“Distributing cigarettes is more dangerous than launching a campaign to distribute condoms,” the minister pointed out. Her policy, however, has been resisted by a number of Islamic groups.

This time, she has come under attack again for the implementation of “National Condom Week.” She finally caved in to public pressure to stop the campaign on condom use as some groups have considered it “a means to legalize casual sex.” The increasing use of condoms among sections of society that are most prone to HIV/AIDS was one of the Millennium Development Goals that the government aimed to achieve by 2015, she noted. According to data available, Indonesia has more than 200 thousand HIV/AIDS patients. The minister believes that unless a breakthrough is made to stem the increasing number of HIV/AIDS patients,

The chief patron of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organization in Indonesia, K.H. Hasyim Muzadi, also opposed the condom use campaign. “I urge the ministry to stop observing National Condom Week because it justifies casual sexual behavior,” stated Hasyim on Tuesday (3/12). The well-known NU leader said that if the government wants to tackle the AIDS/HIV issue, it should attempt other strategies. “I disagree with the free distribution of condoms. Such measures must be stopped immediately,” added Haysim. (December 5th 2013)

Stunning’ Tsunami Record Discovered in Aceh Cave Scientists said Friday (13/12) they have discovered a cave on the Indonesian island of Sumatra that provides a “stunning” record of Indian Ocean tsunamis over thousands of years. They say layers of tsunami-borne sediments found in the cave in northwest Sumatra suggest the biggest destructive waves do not occur at set intervals - meaning communities in the area should be prepared at all times for a tsunami. “It’s something that communities need to know,” research team leader Charles Rubin told AFP, adding that the team wanted to “promote safety of coastal communities”. Professor Rubin and other researchers from a Singapore institute were working with scientists from an Indonesian university when they discovered the cave, south of Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province. A quake-triggered tsunami devastated Aceh and areas across the Indian Ocean in 2004, leaving some 170,000 people dead in the province alone. “This is a beautiful, stunning record of tsunamis that you just don’t have very often,” Rubin said. Rubin said the scientists dated the layers and believe they show that between 2,800 and 3,300 years ago, some four to five tsunamis battered the area. (December 14th 2013) Tighter Rules for Bali Starling Trade Conservation officials in Solo, Central Java, have imposed new rules for the trade in the critically endangered Bali starling, in a bid to stamp out the illegal practice of passing off wild-caught birds as captive-bred ones. Chrystanto, the head of the Central Java Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), said on Sunday (8/12) that the regulation, taking effect immediately, would give his office full authority to certify the origin of birds destined for the pet trade. New breeding certificates issued by the BKSDA will be printed on the same type of paper used to print money and come with a watermark, making them virtually impossible to forge, Chrystanto said. The starling is found in the wild only in Bali and is protected by law. Poaching of the bird reached such critical levels in the 1990s and early 2000s that by 2005, there were estimated to be only six individuals left in the wild, according to the BKSDA. (December 10th 2013) Two Indonesian Migrant Workers Arrested With 3.2 Kilos of Meth in Bali Indonesian customs officers arrested two Indonesian migrant workers on Sunday attempting to smuggle 3.2 kilograms of crystal meth through Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport. The migrant workers, identified as Ihah Solihah Uju, 39, and Lasminah, 44, arrived at the airport on board separate flights. Made Wijaya, the head of Ngurah Rai’s customs office, said customs officers first arrested Ihah after discovering crystal meth hidden in the base of her luggage. From her testimony, officers were waiting for Lasminah as she landed at Ngurah Rai later in the day. He said customs seized a total of 3.2 kilograms of crystal meth from both women. “That amount of crystal meth is worth Rp 4.5 billion ($374,400),” Wijaya said. “We suspect that the plan was to distribute the crystal meth ahead of the New Year.” Under Indonesia’s harsh Narcotics Law, anyone trafficking more than five grams of narcotics under Category I, including crystal meth and cocaine, faces the death penalty. (December 5th 2013) Jetstar Cuts Darwin to Bali Flights, Adds Adelaide & Auckland Jetstar will close its aircraft base in Darwin and cut back on flights from the Northern Territory capital to destinations including Bali, Brisbane and Singapore as it faces intense competition from other airlines. The budget airline will ditch its four weekly flights from Darwin to Manila and Tokyo, and reduce weekly services to Denpasar in Bali from eight to seven, and to Brisbane from nine to seven. On a positive note airline will begin direct services from Adelaide to both Auckland and Bali this month. It also said it had been clear in the past that flying from Darwin was ‘‘among the most marginal’’ on its network. (December 9th 2013)

Whirlwind Damages Hundreds of Houses in Denpasar More than 100 houses in Denpasar were damaged by whirlwinds Wednesday (11/12). There have been no recorded fatalities. The powerful winds that were centered around the Jati Pesona estate on Jl. Pulau Moyo also inflicted damage on temples, mosques and vehicles. The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported it had earlier warned agencies of a potential whirlwind at around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. “The agencies should have forwarded the information to the public,” said BMKG’s data and information division head, I Nyoman Wiryajaya. Wiryajaya explained that the public should receive alerts immediately for extreme weather, earthquakes and other natural disasters. “We are still developing an early warning system for climate-related incidents,” he said. Wiryajaya said that severe storms could occur at any time, especially during cloudy weather. Among the characteristics were the appearance of cumulonimbus (dense, towering vertical) clouds, short periods of heavy rain and thunder. Made Astra, a weather analyst at Denpasar Geophysics Station, said the freak weather occured when hot and cold air masses met. (December 12th 2013) GHM to Unveil Chedi Club Jimbaran, Bali in Summer 2014 The hotel management group that gave travelers The Nam Hai, The Legian Bali and The Chedi Muscathas revealed plans for its latest luxury offering: an all-villa enclave set at Jimbaran on Bali. In December GHM announced The Chedi Club Jimbaran is on track to welcome its first guests in the third quarter of 2014. Encompassing 34 butlerserviced pool villas nestled within a 22,000-square-metre estate, the hotel’s spaces are the creation of Robert Nation, principal of Nation Architects, and Jaya Ibrahim, one of Indonesia’s foremost interior decorators. GHM’s fourth property on the Island of the Gods is expected to set a new precedent for privacy in Jimbaran Bay. Each pool villa will feature round-the-clock butler and in-room dining services, a full kitchen and a Balinese pavilion for al fresco meals and barbecues. (December 13th 2013) Australia Hands over Bali Eye Facility to Indonesian Government The Australian Government on Saturday (15/12) handed over equipment and other assets provided under the Australia Bali Memorial Eye Centre support to the Indonesian Government in Denpasar, Bali. The Australia Bali Memorial Eye Centre was built and equipped as part of the Australian Governments assistance after the Bali bombing tragedy of 2002. Australia has contributed A$10 million to build the eye centre, provide equipment, train staff, operate mobile clinics and give scholarships to health officials. The Centre became part of Rumah Sakit Indera in 2007. Since 2011, ABMEC has become well established as a tertiary eye centre for Bali and Eastern Indonesia. Last year it treated approximately 41,000 patients at the centre, and many more through its mobile clinics and 66 community health centers. Indonesia’s Ministry of Health and the Bali Governor, I Made Mangku Pastika represented the Indonesian and Provincial Governments at Saturday’s ceremony. (December 17th 2013)
