The Frugal Balinist Q Moneysavers

Q Tis the season of heavy rains, thunder and lightning

View new movies online via https://putlocker9.ru/ putlocker?rel=menu9 *Eating healthy food out doesn’t come any cheaper than the Rp50,000 all-you-can-eat buffet at Veggie Karma in Ubud. *Warung Sukun, on the main road in Desa Les on the north coast, serves grilled fish fresh from the ocean at local prices. *If you buy books at Ganesha Bookstore, on Ubud’s main street near the post office, you can return them for a 50% refund or store credit. *For the cheapest and most delicious bungkus nasi campur in Sanur, order the Rp25,000 Rice Wrap Men Weti from an online motorcycle taxi service. Warung Nasi Bali Men Weti is always crowded but ordering online is faster. *Frame Your Posts!

To avoid being zapped by lightening, get out of the Jacuzzi or swimming pool, keep a distance from electrical poles and high-voltage towers, don’t stand under a tree or in the middle of rice fields or gardens, don’t try to drive a motorcycle or car through a lightning storm (stop driving and take shelter inside a building).

Even amateur candid shots on a smartphone look sharp in the Framebridge Instagram Mini Frame in Ventura. Pull a photo or a few off your recipient’s social media, or take some yourself of something they love, for an easy, inexpensive and very personal gift. *Because air cargo freight rates are so extremely high right now (increase of 300% in only 4 months), the cost of shipping an item now often exceeds the value of the item. It’s now cheaper to ship overland. *The Blue Sea Jet is an affordable high-speed full a/c catamaran that covers the distance between Bali and Gili Trawangan in about two hours from Padang Bai (Economy OW Rp600,000, Business OW Rp700,000) or from Benoa (Economy OW Rp700,000, Business OW Rp800,000). Book at tel. 0361-464 032/0812381-9724. Q Water tank tips Bali’s water situation will become dire over the next several years. PDAM is struggling to provide water for the south. Even this year with almost continual rain and an almost nonexistent dry season, people living on the Bukit are drilling 150-m-deep-plus wells and all they find is salt water because of ingress of the sea. There’s already a lucrative market transporting water to expensive houses. A water tank (tangki air) ensures a steady supply of water for the household in case electricity is down, water pressure is uneven, the automatic water pump malfunctions or PDAM’s water supply is cut off. The tank sits on top of a tower that allows water flow downward at an even and steady pressure. Ours is simply a concrete tank supported by a 5-m-high tall tower constructed of concrete blocks (batako) with a roof over the top to keep out birds, leaves and rain. Even if you have a roof, lay a sheet of triplek (plywood) over the tank to keep the water from growing algae and to prevent dust, gecko poop, flies and mosquitoes from entering. Attach a ladder to the outside so you can clean the tank every month. If you have a plastic tank, paint it with a water-based paint to reduce sunlight penetrating inside the tank, stop algae growth and protect the plastic from strong ultra-violet light, thus substantially extending its life.

Q Bargain camping Kemah Bukit Asah (“Silent Hill”), Jl. Raya Ulakan near Desa Bugbug, Karangasem is a hillside camping and picnicking site that overlooks the Indian Ocean, offshore rock formations and small islands with distant views of Mt. Agung. If it’s clear, also views of Rinjani’s volcanic peak on Lombok. Located 30 min. from Candidasa (Rp250,000 roundtrip by car or Rp100,000 roundtrip by motorcycle) along a small coastal road. Just follow the signposts from the village of Bugbug. Entrance Rp45,000. The campground rents new tents (4 person Rp150,000) set up on platforms, which come with mattresses, blankets, sheets and pillows. Showers, toilets, lockers and firewood also available so you can light a fire at night. Small warung sell snacks, noodles and drinks or they’ll cook for you (or bring your own cooking gear). For superb sunrises, a hidden white sand “Virgin Beach” is 15-minute walk downhill or rent a motorbike to take you there and back. Rent lounge chairs (Rp50,000).

Rp2,750,000 to Rp3 juta per month. (In the villages, if you know the family, one can be hired for around Rp2 juta per month.) You have to pay him extra if also drives. Westerners don’t usually hire a satpam from the same village they live in (because they could show favoritism) but prefer hiring one from another village. The best way to find out if a satpam is honest, which should be your paramount concern, is to ask him to provide: 1) a letter of good behavior (SKCK or surat keterangan kepolisian from POLSEK or POLRES); 2) his personal history (riwayat hidup) from the perbekel (kepala desa or village head) and klian adat (head of traditional village law). Q Travel alerts Be careful where you park on Denpasar’s Jl. A. Yani, Jl. Cokroaminoto and Jl. Jepun where Illegally parked cars are now regularly towed away, their wheels locked, tires deflated or their windows covered with highly adhesive stickers. *Free transport is now offered to students and university students on Bali’s Trans Sarbagita public bus system. *In an underhanded way of raising air fares, Citilink, Lion Air and Wings Air have eliminated checked luggage allowance in their base ticket prices on domestic routes. In the recent past, passengers on these airlines were given an allowance of 20 kg included in the ticket price. These new checked baggage rules imposed by low-cost domestic airlines severely restricts the ability to bring back home gifts and souvenirs (oleh-oleh). *Flamingo Beach Club, Saba Beach, North of Sanur, managed by The Bali Zoo, is a kid-centered 1,500-m property with an ocean-side pool, playground and a collection of tropical photo spots designed for Instagram sharing with a backdrop of Pink African Flamingos. Weekend activities include painting, butterfly release and kite making. The admission cost of Rp100,000 per person can be applied against food and beverage costs.

Q Airport KITAS desk Those with a KITAS visa must report to immigration within 30-days of arrival in Indonesia. Without a valid KITAS issued in your name, you’ll be fined Rp300,000 per day, get deported back to your home country and blacklisted from returning to Indonesia for 6 months. To make it easier for KITAS holders, a special desk has now been established at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport that eliminates the need to report to an immigration office. A KITAS can now be processed on-the-spot upon the holder’s arrival in Indonesia. Q Know your satpam! A satpam is a professional uniformed security guard, sometimes licensed, who patrols his employer’s property. Besides guarding against burglaries and robberies, satpam also serve to ward off policemen or fake government officials coming around for a handout or donation. They are sometimes permitted to carry a weapon, but more often are armed with a small knife. They usually arrive at around 9 pm and sleep in the house or in a small room on the property. Room and board are provided free and their salaries can range from

Siapa... ? Mumum & Vira: Travel Bloggers Mumum and Vira were born, respectively, in Bandung, Java and Bandar Lampung, Sumatra. From a very early age, their parents took them traveling. In 2007 Mumum and Vira initiated a travel blog called Indohoy.com, which came online in April of 2009. Beside saving the world from ignorance, the main mission of their blog is to provide information about traveling in Indonesia, especially for foreigners.

anywhere, traveling or not. We don’t think about it too much. But even if we were men, we wouldn’t talk much about politics or religion, not because we’re not interested, but because those subjects are just too complicated to write about. What was the most remote and hard-to-get-to place you’ve ever traveled to in Indonesia? Betung Kerihun National Park in West Kalimantan. We first flew to Pontianak, took a 16-hour car drive to Putussibau, took an hour’s motorcycle ride to the village, spent 3 hours on a long boat upstream and then made the arduous mountain trek through tropical forest to reach the park. Luckily, we met up with national park rangers and collaborated with them on creating content. If we hadn’t gotten in touch with them, we wouldn’t have been able to get into the park.

What are your professional backgrounds? M: Used to work in mining, then crossed fields to traveling, art and culture. V: Used to work in broadcasting, then discovered traveling, print media and illustration. What does Indohoy mean? The name is based on a Dutch phrase ‘in de hooi’ which means “in the bushes.” The phrase inspired us because it connotes something sexual, and sex sells. What specific skills do each of you bring to the blog? We both basically carry out many of the same functions. We both write and take pictures. We both have a say on how the blog is designed, what we post on social media, what stays and what goes, etc. It’s a two-woman show so we do everything together with a little help from our developer. If we had to say how we might be different, Mumum focuses more on writing about the environmental side of traveling, while Vira leans to the artsy side. What’s the best way to find Indonesia’s hidden travel spots? Ask the locals - drivers, food hawkers and random people you meet on the street. It’s often difficult to sift through the overwhelming amount of information you get on the internet. The locals understand the area (but not the internet), hence they are the people to approach when trying to find secret destinations. We just pick their brains, basically. Is it more challenging traveling as a woman in Indonesia than it is traveling as a man? We’ve never been men, so we can’t really say. Cat calling and being under pressure as a woman is the same

What is the most dangerous or scariest situation you’ve ever been in? M: Riding a VW in Bromo. A local friend said the road was easy, but in fact it was too steep for the car. Hence, we backslid. Making the wrong turn would have resulted in us on going over a cliff. I guess it wasn’t our day to die. V: Having a big menacing Komodo dragon crawl towards me and my friends during a trek on Rinca Island.

Thailand because it feels similar and at the same time very different from Indonesia. Singapore because it’s the opposite of Indonesia but still has spicy food. Why are there so many Indonesian young people traveling on the cheap? Plane tickets are cheap so young people can afford them. My generation has also become more focused on experiences than on having stuff. Instagram is another factor. It’s a great visual platform to search for inspiration. You can learn from first-hand accounts because influencers who need to fill their feed. It doesn’t matter that you’re traveling on a budget; it matters that you just get there and do it #forthegram. It wasn’t like this just a few years back. People were still hooked on blogs. What advice can you give to foreign visitors? For women traveling alone in Indonesia, I suggest taking something to cover up for the places whose cultural traditions require modest clothing. Bring tampons because shops rarely sell them. Everyone should carry mosquito repellent and diarrhea medicine. But most crucially bring an open mind and just have fun. What is the most common criticism and praise you get about your travel blog? Criticism: We should promote our blog more. Praise: It’s cool, well-written and inspires people to visit out-of-theordinary travel destinations. What do you like about running a travel blog? We really like creating content and speaking our minds!

By Bill Dalton

Outside of Indonesia, what are your favorite countries to travel in?

For anyone interested in being considered for Siapa, please contact: pakbill2003@yahoo.com

M: That’s a hard one. I can’t think of any particular country that stands out. Every place is unique in its own right. V: Greece. It’s gorgeous and full of crazy mythology.

The Rijsttafel: An Indonesian Fest for the Senses The rijsttafel (rice table in Dutch) is an elaborate banquet composed of rice and between seven and 40 side dishes from across the archipelago. The colorful symphony of flavors and textures dates back to the Dutch colonial era, when it was used as a way to sample a wide variety of delicacies in one sitting. The side dishes are usually served at various temperatures, with pickled vegetables often eaten to cool the palate between different flavors. Today, the rijsttafel has disappeared from most Indonesian restaurants, and the feast is only served at a few select venues that usually cater to foreigner visitors. Here are five Bali restaurants where the rijsttafel is still the star of the show.

Tugu Bali

comes with turmeric rice, rice cooked in coconut milk and shrimp crackers. Advanced bookings are required. https://www.tuguhotels.com

Bumbu Bali Bumbu Bali has been attracting epicureans since it opened in Tanjung Benoa two decades ago. Focusing on authentic Balinese flavors served in a traditional village atmosphere, the semi-open restaurant serves two types of rijsttafel. The Balinese Rijsttafel consists of a soup, main dishes and three types of desserts, including pork, chicken and seafood sate; shredded chicken with chili and tomato; pork in sweet soy sauce; and diced fish grilled in banana leaf. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s Vegetarian Rijsttafel features dishes such as green papaya and mushroom soup, fermented soy bean cake sate, and braised vegetable in coconut milk. Both types of rijsttafel come with steamed rice, seasonal Balinese fruit and Balinese coffee or tea. Back in the day, Bumbu Bali also used to serve a Seafood Rijsttafel but the feast was taken off the menu once sourcing fresh fish in Bali became too difficult. “The waters around Bali are empty,” proclaims Bumbu Bali’s website. Even though Bali is surrounded by oceans, the restaurant’s proprietors have found it impossible to serve the smorgasbord without flying seafood in from outside the island. Seafood still features on the restaurant’s a la carte menu, and the restaurant’s guests can rest assured that the its small number of seafood dishes are always fresh and of top quality. http://www.balifoods.com/

Tugu’s lavish Grand Rijsttafel is held at the Bale Puputan, a dining chamber that pays tribute to the Balinese who gave their lives during the Puputan of Badung in 1906 and Puputan of Klungkung in 1908. The room’s Balinese royal antiques, some dating back to the 19th century, and artifacts from the Puputan war make an opulent setting for a feast. Tugu’s rijsttafel features Javanese dishes prepared using traditional recipes that have been passed down generations. The smorgasbord, which is served by 12 waiters in traditional attire, is comprises of 12 dishes including fish with turmeric spices, cucumber and carrot pickles; stuffed chili fritters with potato; marinated beef in crisp-grated coconut; and prawns in red sauce. The feast

Poppies Named after the popular Kuta lane, Poppies has been welcoming guests from around the world since it first opened its doors in 1973. The iconic restaurant offer both top notch fare and respite from the crowds outside its walls in a verdant garden setting, complete with small pools and fountains. The venue’s rijsttafel, which is served to the table on a specially adapted revolving Balinese ‘dulang,’ represents various cuisines from across the archipelago. Guests can expect dishes such as beef rendang, lamb stew, stir-fried squid in curry sauce, deep fried battered prawns and black rice pudding. The smorgasbord also comes with a

range of sambal, including sambal kecap (chopped chili with sweet soy sauce) and sambal matah (sliced shallots, chili, lemongrass, oil and lemon juice), as well as cucumber and carrot pickles, steamed rice and fried rice. http://www.poppiesbali.com/en/poppies-restaurant-bali.html Wijaya Kusuma Restaurant Located just outside Ubud, Wijaya Kusuma overlooks verdant paddy fields and majestic mountains. To complete the lush picture, each Friday, the restaurant serves Indische Rijsttafel, a smorgasbord of dishes from across Indonesia, from the Betawi cuisine of Jakarta to the Padang fare of West Sumatra. The feast also consists of dishes with “hybrid influences,” such as Chinese babi ketjap (braised port ribs in sweet soy, chili and ginger). The Indische Rijsttafel is composed of delights such as sweet and sour crispy gurami, mixed vegetables in peanut sauce and creamed coconut chicken. The feast is served with the obligatory rice, as well as peanut crackers, selection of Balinese sweets, different types of sambal and coffee or tea. https://www.ayungresortubud.com

Bawang Merah Set along Jimbaran beach, a little away from the main strip of restaurants on the northern end of Jimbaran Bay, Bawang Merah delivers great food, spectacular sunsets and Balinese dance performances. Served on the terrace or a private beach table, the restaurant’s Balinese Rijsttafel consists of eight dishes and includes dessert. Food enthusiasts visiting the restaurant can look forward to sampling savories such as chicken and seafood sate, vegetable spring rolls, chicken and duck steamed in Balinese condiments and shredded chicken in thick coconut sauce. For dessert, black rice pudding sliced seasonal fruit in tamarind and palm sugar chili sauce are bound to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. Bawang Merah’s rijsttafel also comes with rice, two sambal and crackers. https://www.jimbaranbeachrestaurant.com

A Conduit Between Construction & Culture Beneath the hotbed of development that Berawa has become, there also lies a sense of loss - loss for a village culture that has been overshadowed by the area’s inevitable growth, for traditional practices that have been interchanged with modern ways and even for the simple enjoyment of this area’s laid back, beachside lifestyle. In an effort to build a more positive connection between the Berawa community and the freight train of growth in the area, local developer Fitri Supardi recently commissioned mixed media artist, Yokii to help bring her vision of a Berawa Art Wall to reality. Aware of the growing discord between Berawa’s hive of construction and local culture, and buoyed by her passion for art and Balinese tradition, Fitri set about to build a fence. In stark contrast to the garish plastic banners and metal monstrosities that tend to border Bali construction sites, Fitri’s fence is more than just a front for her small Berawa project; it’s a canvas from which to showcase a series of images depicting the beauty and magic of Berawa life. With Yokii and Nyaman Gallery’s Melvine on board along with the blessing of the village, the trio approached senior art students of Canggu Community School to invite them to be a part of

the process. After a session at CCS whereby Yokii detailed the fascinating process behind his mixed media creations, the students made their way down to the wall to create some art of their own. Freedom of expression was the brief as each student added their artistic impressions to the blank canvas. Though their work aired only briefly before the wall was repainted in preparation for Yokii’s artwork, the students will be involved once again to assist the artist with the final touches once all twenty of the picture panels have been installed. Meanwhile, in the studio, Yokii has been hard at work creating each piece of the art wall. A meticulous and detailed process, each portrait is composed from a high resolution photograph. This is carefully enlarged then printed onto a canvas, after which it is ‘taken back’ to almost a faded outline of the original photo. Yokii then engineers his magic as he brings the image back to life using minimalist tones and layer upon layer of textures to add depth and detail. The final masterpieces form a breathtaking display of images that seem to capture the essence of local life from the weatherworn fisherman to the Balinese beauty in traditional dress. Once the canvases are complete, they are transported to Fitri’s Berawa feature wall where Yokii and his team prepare the panels for installation! The first series of seven images was installed on

February 10, much to the delight of a crowd of curious onlookers, neighbours and Sunday afternoon strollers, with the second and final stage of the collage appearing on February 24. As a gift for the whole community to enjoy, the Art Wall offers a window into Berawa life beyond the bustling building sites and development. Like a conduit between construction and culture, Fitri hopes that her feature fence will assume the role as a mediator of sorts between developers, property owners and local residents. See this creative community art wall for yourself at its new home on Jalan Pemelisan Agung in Berawa, Bali.

Design ideas and inspiration for tropical living

What to do with wayward walls Anyone who has renovated or built a house in Bali will be familiar with that sinking feeling on realising the gulf between your expectation and the likely delivery. Though thankfully gone are the days when a contractor would build a wall and only then knock a hole through for the window, getting a good finish is still problematic; it’s enough to drive you up the wall. Cringe-worthy puns aside, what can you do to mask imperfections, impart a finished look and make a feature out of the most flawed surface? Here are a few ideas that can be easy on your budget as well as your time.

an expanse of wall, consider commissioning one of Bali’s talented muralists to create a unique artwork. In their hands, flaws can be camouflaged or even incorporated into the design e.g. that unsightly crack could serve as the branch of a tree. I love the Sayan House mural of red palms - as iconic as its fusion menu and sunset vista. But you don’t have to cover an entire wall; when my lovely neighbours built a rental in their family compound, Pak Made painted a beautiful freeflowing traditional Balinese scene above the bed that delights their guests.

Repaint A lick of paint is the fastest, cheapest and possibly the most forgiving way to change a wall, and transform the space. Choose a strong solid colour for an accent wall (e.g. Ibu Cat’s pink living room, featured in this column at the end of last year). Make a virtue of the existing texture by sponge-painting or using a ragging or scumbling technique. Use chalkboard paint in a child’s room and encourage their personal graffiti practice. Or up the design ante by painting a pattern; I love my friend Nina’s bathroom with its soaring aqua-and-white chevron painted wall.

Make a gallery wall This interior designer staple is a neat way to curate art, photos, drawings, and bits and bobs. Use simple black frames for a contemporary look, or different frames for a touch of whimsy… at all times exercising a keen editorial eye to keep chaos at bay. Group items by theme or topic, or adopt a colour to unify an eclectic collection e.g. choose art, photos, objects and fabric with a touch of green. I saw a great example of this in a Batu Belig villa, where old prints of beetles were simply framed and hung in clusters on a wall painted a spectacular pink.

Hang large-scale art The classic way to conceal an imperfect patch of wall! Buy direct from a favourite artist, visit a renowned gallery, or take a leisurely drive along through Lotunduh village for inspiration. For a low-cost solution, why not create your own artwork; just buy a large canvas or two and a few pots of paint – standard house paint will do – and even the least arty amongst us can create a minimalist abstract to be proud of! Create a mural To make a statement on

Tile a wall We’re so lucky to have access to traditional cement tiles in Bali, such as Sadhu Tiles in Sideman, which has a wonderful selection of traditional colours and patterns. A few years ago, I bought a selection of random mismatched ‘rejects’ to cover a shower wall, and love the result. Another approach is to buy the cheapest ceramic tiles in an array of colours, smash them then use the pieces to create a mosaic scene; in Nina’s guest bathroom, the effect is magical! Line with natural materials Sometimes it can make sense to create a new wall by applying a new surface layer. This could be prohibitively expensive elsewhere, but with Indonesia’s abundance of materials it’s do-able. Unevenly stacked slate, pebbles, and exposed brick make for a striking accent wall. Use fine-weave bedeg or rattan as wallpaper and stick onto a wall, then paint over for an interesting texture. Or apply split bamboo across the entire wall. And to disguise cracks between the wall and ceiling, add traditional hand-carved wood strips along the join; you can

pick up elaborately carved lengths in Mas and Sukawati. Hang fabric There’s something sumptuous about fabric-covered walls — think boudoir sizzle and Bedouin romance. Fabric is very effective in hiding imperfections, and is also fairly simple to install as well as remove; so, like paint, you can easily change your mind and replace later. Hang a piece of fabric from a dowel or curtain rod fixed as close to the ceiling as possible, or roughly staple the fabric to the edge of the wall. Better still, treat fabric as wallpaper and stick it to the wall. Given that you might need many metres to cover the surface, you might want to steer clear of the (admittedly divine) Hermes fabric I recently spotted in a Seminyak villa. But a quick trip to Klungkung market, Jalan Sulawesi or Alta Moda will give you lots of inspiration, whether you’re into patterned prints in eye-popping colours, or a more ethnic look with hand-loomed ikat or Javanese batik. Digital prints on vinyl One of the most effective ways to create a killer accent wall is by using digitally printed vinyl. I saw this technique used to great effect in a beachfront vacation rental in Seseh, where green jungle scenes elevated the interiors of contemporary flat-roofed pavilions. And Janet, who we interviewed for the last At Home in Bali column, found a novel way to use vinyl in the garden courtyard of her Palm Merah renovation in Kemenuh. “We found the red palms to be fantastically expensive, and it was too difficult to paint a mural on the site, so I googled red palm images, measured the wall, downloaded the file and took it to the printer, who printed it in a day.” The printer she recommends is Gede at Dwi Karya (08123655125).

GARDEN DOCTOR Growing Guide for Orchids Dear Garden Doctor, I have recently been given some orchids that have outgrown their old terracotta pots. What is the best way to care for them and best way to re-pot them, and which type of soil to use? What is best way to care for them and then get them to flower? Thanks for advice in advance. Marcos, Bali. One of the most common houseplants grown, yet so often misunderstood! There are over 25,000 documented species of orchid, the flower when in bloom has a bi-symmetry just like the human face, and did you know that the vanilla bean comes from a species of orchid? It is some-what of a myth that orchids are difficult to grow - for most types itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as easy as any other houseplant, provided the right growing conditions. While there are fussy orchids, on average there are many more types that adapt well to the temperatures and light conditions found inside the average home and garden. When starting out it is helpful to know that in a natural habitat, orchids, generally grow on rocks and trees beneath the forest canopy, obtaining nutrients from leaves, bark, bird-poo or anything else that falls from the sky.

mosses, perlite, coir and bark are best to mix in combination, or used on their own as a potting medium for most orchids. You can usually find specialised potting mix for orchids at the nursery or you can make your own - which is always fun and rewarding. Make sure that there is good drainage throughout the chosen potting medium as orchids like to have airy roots. When you re-pot, make sure the top of the root growth is just below the rim of the pot. Orchid roots often creep over the edge of the pot before the body of the plant makes it to the edge of the pot. If you see that the body of the plant has grown over the edge or that the potting media has itself broken-down then you know that your orchid needs to be re-potted. After re-potting, most orchids will experience a period of slower growth for a while. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

Most orchids can handle less rather than more water, and flowering is much less likely if over watering occurs. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to kill an orchid just put it in soil and give it loads of water. Never let the roots or the growing medium become saturated in water, this will cause root rot. How often you water will depend on how bright the growing conditions, how humid, and how warm it is, all factors that impact how fast the potting mix will dry. It is important to allow orchids to completely dry out between watering. Too much fertiliser will kill an orchid whereas I have never seen an orchid die as a result of a lack thereof. Orchids do not require abundant doses of fertilizer. Seaweed fertilizer and fish emulsion are best for your orchids as they contain a mild balance of nutrients and trace elements that help it to thrive and flower. Another good idea is to supplement with the rice water from when you wash your rice.

At home, just as in the forest orchids will prefer bright, filtered light and a humid environment, and they can be grown both indoors and out. Too much light may result in leaves that are pale green to yellow, whereas insufficient light is often indicated by deeper green foliage. On positioning, they like a permanent home, resist moving them often. Ideally, they should be planted in bark or rocky material, and never soil or potting mix which could cause root rot or at best a generally unhealthy plant. In a natural setting, orchids grow on rocks (lithophytes) and trees (epiphytes). By clinging to tree bark or rock-faces, the plants absorb water and nutrients from the air, rainwater and whatever else trickles down. They are adapted to surviving when rain is scarce, storing water in their thick leaves, stems and roots. Orchids can be mounted to, and grown on various surfaces including, tree fern bark, hardwood, driftwood, terracotta, rocks, logs, bark, branches, large shells, bamboo off-cuts or even trees out in the garden. Potting an orchid in soil would be one of the best or worst ways to kill it - or at least make it very sick. The roots will most likely rot. Fibrous peat, rocks woodchips, charcoal,

and the last node (swollen, jointed area on the stem). One of the lower nodes may then initiate a new spike that can produce flowers within 8 to 12 weeks. Younger or weaker plants may not always re-flower though. For beginners obtaining the patience to wait for the next blooming cycle is one of the hardest things to attain!

Orchids need moisture, but never allow them to become waterlogged. When watering, allow water to run freely through the pot, otherwise mist regularly. If fertilising orchids, less is better than more, and remember that exposed roots are okay, but re-pot if the bark has totally decomposed.

Orchids like most flowering plants have a growing period and a blooming cycle. During the growth period new leaves sprout which store up energy for flowering. Eventually it will send up one or more spikes from which flowers will sprout usually lasting anywhere from a few days up to eight weeks depending on the variety. Displaying flowering orchids in cooler indoor temperatures will help prolong the bloom. Of the more commonly available orchids, phalaenopsis (the moth orchid) will often re-bloom from an old flower spike. The spike should be cut between the scar left by the first flower

In general, the Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilum, and Dendrobium orchids are easiest to care for, so long as you can produce the correct environment for them. Taking care of orchids should be an enjoyable experience. By selecting the right environment, pot and fertilizer, you will be well on your way to enjoying a lifetime of beautiful blooming orchids!

Building & Maintenance

R O TA R Y NEWS Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset Farewell 2018, And Welcome 2019! Woh!! What a year 2018 was!! Sadly natural disasters both in Indonesia and other parts of the world have left families devastated, property and livelihoods destroyed. Thankfully there are many response teams, charities and government aid, to help support and repair where needed. I am proud to say Rotary International provides funds, medical aid and shelter where needed. However the BIG $ has to come from somewhere, plus money for all the other projects Rotary Clubs are involved in. I will return to this later….. Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset as I have written in the past is involved in many humanitarian projects both ongoing and new. HEALTH We sponsor Rumah Sehat / Yayasan Kita Peduli in the Karangasem district, where they provide free health care to the many people living in very isolated areas. The free clinic is situated between Celuk and Amed, very near to Mt. Agung, and is itself a government registered evacuation site. The clinic has outgrown itself and now Rumah Sehat is planning to build a new bigger clinic with many more facilities including birthing rooms for expectant mothers. Rumah Sehat themselves have been holding sponsored Fund Raisers, to raise the money required to build the clinic. If you would like to donate you can purchase “a brick” for 1,000,000.00 Rp /$ 100, and your name will be put on the brick! ( contact address : www.rumahsehatbali.org). Our ongoing support of John Fawcett Foundation based in Sanur, providing free eye care to those in remote areas. At our last “Healthy Day”( sponsored by our club , and organised by

16 Rumah Sehat) in Kendampal, Kerangasam district, a young girl was examined by the optometrist, and found to be in need of cataract surgery. This was carried out early December by JFF and follow up appointments will reveal whether she requires glasses.

form of a Christmas dinner at the Maya Resort Ubud, with a full Christmas buffet, raffle, silent auction and entertainment! This year we had a magician to entertain, and he went table to table which ensured everyone could enjoy him and partake!!

WATER PROJECTS Our many water projects continue, funding the necessary equipment to provide water to remote villages. This alleviates the need of women to walk several hours each way to collect 1 bucket of water! Our latest water project is near Kendampal and to fund this one we are putting forward our budget proposal to RC Denpasar, with a view to a joint project. ENVIRONMENT We have been approached by Wayan Warkida from Taro Kaya Tegalalang, who has initiated a recycling/composting system. He started with 30 families, teaching them how to separate waste into organic and non- organic waste. He now has 100 families involved plus he is instructing school children. He needs a place to deposit all the organic waste which at present he collects free of charge from the families. Our members are looking forward to discussing what we can do to help him, in this excellent environmental programme he has initiated. PROJECT INVOLVEMENT WITH AN AUSTRALIAN ROTARY CLUB A visit from a member of the Rotary Club of Glen Innes, Australia, informed us of one of their projects – handmade knitted/crocheted blankets for babies/children by some of the lady members of his club. I told him I was involved with Kanaditya Foundation that worked with children, disabled, abandoned, sick, market workers, etc. The blankets would be gratefully received by the “Yayasan Sayangi Bali”, that runs a home for abandoned babies and young children in Denpasar. They depend on donations and government funding. So after many emails back and forth I finally took possession of 12 beautiful blankets on 9th December, and with members of Kanaditya Foundation who visit regularly we handed over to the staff the 12 beautiful blankets! Just one example of working with other Rotary Clubs around the world. Now I think I need to return to the BIG $ and where it comes from. Two words = FUND RAISING!! This can be the hardest part for Rotary members, and we need new ideas to keep it from getting stagnant! Rotary Cub Bali Ubud Sunset has a yearly Fund Raiser in the

Sanur Kerobokan Jimbaran Lovina Lombok Email C/Bm/I-30 Jan 19

The raffle can be seen in picture. We had 90 prizes, including some excellent vouchers and a beautiful painting. The silent auction as always has amazing bargains and good fun!! Part of the cost of tickets goes to Rotary Fund Raising and part to Maya Resort. During the year when we meet on the 2nd and last Monday of each month, we have a small raffle for members and any guests. Prizes are donated by members and it all adds up! As with all Rotary Clubs, donations are also always welcome and in addition part of our yearly fees go towards projects. Funding is also available from District Grants. Our meetings are open to anyone who would like to come and meet the members. Enjoy a light meal at Kakiang Garden Café, Ubud, 2nd Monday of the month or a very varied and enjoyable buffet at the Maya Resort, Ubud on the last Monday of the month. At our Maya meeting we endeavour each month to have a guest speaker. If you feel you would like to present a venture, or any ideas to us, especially for fund raising, you would be most welcome!

It is one of Bali’s most iconic cultural traditions and offers a great spectacle in motion, complete with parasols, banners, colourful palanquins transporting the effigies and accompanying gamelan music. This is also the most busy time on the roads so be prepared for lengthy delays as these processions get absolute priority and right of way.

The ARMA museum is hosting a unique artist exchange program exhibiting selected works of 6 leading Indonesian artists and 4 Sri Lankan upcoming artists. The program is a concept of renowned Indonesian artist Antonius Kho who heads up the Indonesian group and of Sri Lankan International Artist Chathuranga Biyagama who leads the Sri Lankan team. The project seeks to develop the Contemporary Art opportunities between the two countries. In the first stage of this program, the Indonesian and Sri Lankan artists were showcased in a group art exhibition at Lionel Wendt Gallery in Colombo last month. In the second stage of this program, the 4 Sri Lankan Artists will be exhibiting their art work together with that of the 6 Indonesian artists at the Arma Museum in Ubud.

having a good time with lots of noise and merriment. It starts in the evening when in every Balinese household the family participates in a ritual called the ‘pengrupukan’ where each member helps to chase away the ‘bhuta kala’ (malevolent forces) from every corner in their compounds with a burning bamboo torch, all the while hitting pots and pans or any other loud implements. Supposedly, these spirits will seek refuge into the ogoh-ogoh, those giant puppets painstakingly built by the banjar young people to be paraded in the streets and later torched in a giant bonfire. A lot of the villages will host street parades and contests which usually start at around 7pm. It’s an evening for rejoicing, partying and admiring the creativity and resourcefulness of the Balinese youngsters. Nyepi/ Balinese New Year Saka 1941 – Thursday 7 March The Saka calendar follows the lunar cycles and is 78 years behind the Gregorian calendar but it is slowly catching up as the lunar year is shorter than the Gregorian year by about 10 days. Nyepi follows after a new moon (Tilem) and the new year always begins on the first day of the 10th lunar month. Nyepi Day is a day of silence and calm and the Balinese Hindus follow a ritual observing the prohibitions of ‘no fire’, ‘no travel’, ‘no activity’, and ‘no entertainment’. On the night of the new moon no lights are allowed and the entire island remains in total darkness and seclusion throughout Nyepi and until 6 am the following day. No motor vehicles are allowed on the streets, except ambulances and police patrols and emergencies. Tourists and hotel guests are also confined to their villa or hotel premises. This is strictly enforced by the ‘pecalang’, the community guards who will be patrolling the streets by day and night. Hari Ngembak Geni/ Omed-Omedan – Friday 8 March The day after Nyepi is Ngembak Geni, a local holiday in Bali when families traditionally visit each other. It is also the day of the famous ‘omed-omedan’, in the village of Sesetan in southern Denpasar for the festival of smooches, more kindly known as the Kissing Festival. This is a very local event, only happening in the Sesetan Banjar Kaja community and is apparently more than 100 years old. Young people face each other and form two groups with boys opposing the girls. Successive boy-girl pairs are hoisted on the shoulders of their team mates and are pushed and shoved in a tug-of-war-like scene. When they meet they embrace, all in a riotous tumble of shouts, while being doused with buckets of water. In Balinese, the word ‘Omed Omed’ means pull and pull. The event is essentially a kissing ritual between the boys and girls of the village. According to the locals, the spiritual aspect of this ritual is that the pull and pull represent the taking of positive energy and the letting out the negative energy. When : Friday 8 March from 2 pm Where : Banjar Kaja , Sesetan, south of Denpasar

Ubud News STORIES THAT MATTER

Sehat’s work in all of these.

The second Bali Indigenous Film Festival will be held in Ubud over three days in May this year, with the theme Stories That Matter reflected in both the “short documentaries” daytime program and the full-length feature film evenings.

Meanwhile in Sentani, Papua, the new Bumi birth centre is almost complete, but still seeking funds for beds, medical Michael will take executive control of the combined equipment and supplies so it can open this year. business, and there are some great conferences and workshops planned for 2019, as well as the eclectic weekly DISASTER RELIEF CENTRE UNDERWAY events and talks that will continue to pop up because of the extraordinary range of people passing through. Ibu Robin says the long dreamed of Bumi Sehat Disaster Relief Resource Centre is currently under construction in “Our community gets to leverage the very different Ubud. experiences of two globally famous locations, for the price of a single membership. And for Hubud, membership fees This quake resistant building - also made possible through actually drop!” Steve says. the generosity of Earth Company and Hinoku - will function as a Youth Education Centre in “peace time”, and be On April 5 and 6, join SIY - Search Inside Yourself - a twoready to house and give relief to evacuees during times of day mindful leadership program developed by Google and disaster and emergency. brought to Bali for the second time by Hubud. More info at www.hubud.org. LOVE ROMANTIC TREEHOUSE CONTRAST & CULTURE TOURS Here’s a blissful getaway just out of Ubud, built by Javanese Hartono Lokodjoyo, who moved here for work in As a “local” of 10 years or more, I can never decide an “organic gardening” project set up by a foreigner. Har whether it’s better to venture away to another country for a was so inspired by these new concepts of permaculture big holiday, or spend my time exploring more of Indonesia, and organics that he stayed on after the original ex-pat or the island of Bali itself for that matter. project went bust. The extraordinary tours offered by Bali-based photographer David Metcalf don’t help! I’ve already missed the Vietnam: Contrast and Culture Photography Tour; well, not missed it exactly, but I’m not in the right moment to drop everything and grab one of the last few places on this year’s tour (February 19- March 12). Sigh. David is taking tours this year to Mongolia and Alaska too, and it only takes a peek at his website to know that they’ll be unbeatable experiences too.

The festival’s grand opening night will be held at the spectacular new Njana Tilem Museum in Mas, on Friday 10 May. The evening will focus on fifteen film directors and two feature films, along with a variety of performances honouring indigenous wisdom and culture. Organisers expect 400 people to attend. Over the weekend, a feast of 32 indigenous local and international films representing 12 countries will screen at the comfortable 120-seat Paradiso Theatre in Ubud’s Jalan Gautama South. Festival organisers strongly support the development of indigenous films, so the program includes a private event for industry filmmakers, film industry affiliates, media and PR professionals and film producers. The objective of this vital session is to discuss effective strategies for getting documentary films out to a wider audience, and enabling better communication and mutual support among indigenous filmmakers in Indonesia.

However, after several years of travelling and photographing in Indonesia, David has also created four different programs to various parts of the island of Borneo, where his local knowledge and friendships will ensure more “thrill of a lifetime” holidays. And I find I’m drawn to his Island of the Gods Photography Tour in June. Even longterm expats appreciate David’s meticulously planned programs, and the access to his collection of lesserknown locations. www.davidmetcalfphotography.com.

Films must be submitted by March 1, to emmanuela. shinta@gmail.com. Info and tickets: www. indigenousfilmfestbi.com. REGIONAL BUMI SEHAT Founder of mothers and babies’ non-profit Yayasan Bumi Sehat, CNN Hero Robin Lim, says the natural disasters of the past year have significantly increased the need for Bumi’s health and human services in the region, with a variety of international supporters providing the financial backing that makes this possible. Here in Bali, Mount Agung seems quiescent but is still considered to be “in an eruptive phase”. Meanwhile in North Lombok, Central Sulawesi and Java, communities attempt to haul themselves back to normal after various disasters, with aftershocks and torrential rains hampering progress. Bumi Sehat also continues to support communities along the Aceh tsunami coast near Samatiga, where the 13-year-old BS health centre is undergoing repair, and in the Philippines, where Bumi Wadah Philippines helped feed people left homeless after a category 5 super storm in the northern island of Luzon. Direct Relief International, Earth Company and Hinoki of Japan supports Bumi

last year showed that the two teams share similar values and visions.

Now we reap the rich treasures of his ever-expanding organic farm in Junjungan, and watch as Har improves the three little houses he built to take advantage of the natural features of the terrain behind the rows of vegetables. Har’s Organic Garden is on Jalan Sri Wedari in Junjungan, about 4 kilometres north of Ubud. It’s worth a trip to wander around and select your own vegetables, or just purchase a “mixed bag” of whatever he’s picked that day. My 150,000rp vege mountain will feed me for 4-5 days.

Balancing Hormones Naturally We hear so much talk about hormones as we get older and how it affects our health, especially for women. Hormones naturally decline as we get older. There are 7 types of hormones in the body: • Oxytocin (the love hormone) which responds to touch • Cortisol (the stress hormone) which tells us when to run when we’re in danger • Thyroid, (the metabolism regulator) • Melatonin (the sleep-inducing hormone) • Progesterone, estrogen and testosterone (the sex hormones) needed for a healthy cycle and fertility • Serotonin (mood-boosting hormone) • Leptin (the hunger-quelling hormone)

5. Exercise regularly – It doesn’t matter what form of exercise you choose – gym, running, yoga, kick boxing, walking on the beach or jumping on a trampoline. Just get your body moving for good cardiovascular health and keep it stretched. You’ll look and feel younger and healthier.

phase. Seeds such as flaxseed and pumpkin seeds, one tablespoon each per day, can naturally increase your estrogen levels. From Day 15 to Day 30, or the second part of the cycle (also known as the luteal phase), the corpus luteum begins to release progesterone. This sex hormone will help thicken the uterine lining and prepare it for implantation. The high content of zinc in sesame seeds and vitamin E in sunflower seeds have been shown to stimulate progesterone production. By adding one tablespoon of sesame seeds and one tablespoon of sunflower seeds per day in the luteal phase, they can naturally support the body to produce more progesterone.

How do you know you’re out of balance? If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms it’s probably time you take action to bring balance back to your body. Signs of hormone imbalance include: • Mood swings • PMT or PMS • Low mood or depression • You are snappy, irritable and angry (sometimes all at once) • Your libido is non-existent • Your periods are heavy or irregular • Headaches and migraines • You have a muffin top or excess weight around the belly • Skin breaks out • Vaginal dryness • Cold hands and feet, • Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep • You feel constantly fatigued or have brain fog • You have tummy cramps, bloating or digestive woes • You have excess hair on your face and thinning on your head • You have cravings for carbs, sugars, alcohol or other foods How to balance your hormones naturally

6. Consume healthy fats – This has been shown to reduce insulin resistance in overweight people and those with diabetes. Dairy fats and monounsaturated fat in olive oil and nuts increase insulin sensitivity. Avoid unhealthy trans-fat which promotes fat belly. 7. Avoid over or undereating. - Consuming too many or too few calories can lead to hormonal imbalances. Aim to eat at least 1,200 calories per day for optimal health. 8. Eat fatty fish - Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids may help lower cortisol and epinephrine, increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin levels in obese and insulinresistant individuals. 9. Get high quality sleep consistently - Poor sleep has been linked to imbalances of many hormones, including insulin, cortisol, leptin and growth hormone 10. Consume a high fiber diet - High fiber intake has been linked to improvements in insulin sensitivity and the hormones that control hunger, fullness and food intake. 11. Eat more eggs - Eggs are extremely nutritious and may help reduce insulin resistance, suppress your appetite and make you feel full. WOMEN Magdalena Wszelaki, an integrative hormone and nutrition expert, is the founder of Hormones Balance, a practice that teaches women how to rebalance hormones with her book called Cooking for Hormone Balance. Going on the premise of food being medicine she has developed the concept of using seeds to correct hormonal imbalances with a 30 day lunar cycle to support the menstrual cycle. This works for women who are premenopausal as well as post-menopausal.

1. Nourishment for your body – Food is the building blocks for hormones by eating healthy fats and protein. Reduce processed foods and refined sugar and refined carbs. Eat an adequate amount of protein for each meal. 2. Eat More Greens – Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and chard help to cleanse the body and support the liver, which is very important in hormonal balance. 3. Reduce coffee consumption – A good cup of coffee is a joy, however, many people over indulge which increases PMS symptoms. Try drinking green tea which is lower in caffeine and high in antioxidants. 4. Reduce your stress – A busy lifestyle and running around makes our body produce too much cortisol (the stress hormone). This puts a strain on your body and can put your hormones out of balance. Try mediation, yoga, deep breathing and massage to manage your stress levels.

The technique is called “seed rotation,” and can be used to boost estrogen levels in the first part of our cycle and progesterone levels in the second part. This system can be used by anyone who is experiencing irregular periods, heavy flows, substantial PMS, signs of hormone imbalance and even women going through perimenopause and menopause. Which seeds should be used in the cycle? Peri-menopausal and menopausal women can start any day and rotate the seeds every two weeks. Pre-menopausal women who are still menstruating have different needs: From Day 1 to Day 15 (or the middle of the cycle), we need more estrogen in order to build up our endometrium (uterine lining). This is called the follicular

C/He/G-2 Jan. 19

Who are menopausal and post menopausal? If you do not have a cycle either because you are not menstruating or because you have entered perimenopause, menopause and you are in post menopause, seed rotation can still help. MEN Testosterone levels in men dip by about 1 percent every year after age 30. Eat pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants and other nutrients that can contribute to healthy testosterone levels and improve overall health. • Full of Valuable Nutrients • High in Antioxidants • Linked to a Reduced Risk of Certain Cancers • Improve Prostate and Bladder Health • Very High in Magnesium • May Improve Heart Health • Can Lower Blood Sugar Levels • High in Fibre • Improves sleep. For example, lack of sleep can lower your testosterone level. Men who get less sleep for even just 2 weeks can see their testosterone level decrease by 15 percent.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH VITAMIN D - How Important is it Really? How Important is Vitamin D? In many parts of the world, the winter can be cold with short, dark days. This season often raises concerns about vitamin D, which is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. But why should we be concerned in Bali where we have enough sunshine pretty much all year round? Vitamin D levels have become a concern even in sunny parts of the globe due to our “cover-up” lifestyles. Our windows in cars and homes have UV light screens, we protect our skin from sunlight to avoid the risk of skin cancer, we spend long hours in front of computers in our offices and homes away from natural light. Some cultures & religions also require (especially women) to cover-up. What is Vitamin D? Vitamin D is technically not a vitamin because humans have the capacity to produce it themselves through exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D is biologically inert and must undergo two chemical processes in the body for activation. The first occurs in the liver and converts vitamin D to a prehormone called calcidiol. The second occurs primarily in the kidney and forms the physiologically active hormone calcitriol. Consequently, when we don’t get enough vitamin D, we will not have enough calcitriol inside our tissues (e.g. prostate, breast, colon etc.), and not having enough of a hormone can be very bad news. Vitamin D is important in prevention and treatment of a range of conditions including asthma, heart failure, and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Vitamin D is important for bone health. For example, vitamin D deficiency causes rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults. Further, vitamin D does have many

non-bone functions in the body. Indeed, evidence is accumulating that vitamin D is important in prevention and treatment of a range of conditions including asthma, heart failure, and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis). How Do We Get Vitamin D? Vitamin D is rare in standard human diets, as there are very few natural dietary sources. One major natural source is oily fish (salmon, sardines, etc.), but to get enough vitamin D from oily fish alone, you would need to eat two or more large servings every single day! In some countries, it is mandatory to fortify milk with vitamin D. However, fortified dairy generally contains very low levels of vitamin D. Some other products can contain added vitamin D but this varies depending on the region and even the food supplier. Mushrooms are one of the few natural plant-based sources of vitamin D, but only when they have been exposed to sunshine (or ultraviolet B). Even then, the amount they contain will be low. Sunshine is the major source of vitamin D for most humans on the planet. When the ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun penetrates human skin, it triggers a chemical reaction that generates vitamin D. If a person with fair skin goes out in the sun for about 20 minutes wearing a bathing suit, 20,000IU (International Units) of vitamin D can be produced. For comparison, a large fatty piece of fish might contain about 1,000IU. Importantly, persons with darker skin will also generate vitamin D from sun exposure, but not as efficiently due to the fact that darker skin contains more UV blocking melanin. This is a main reason why vitamin D deficiency can be more severe among people of color. People also lose some of their ability to produce vitamin D from sunshine as they age, putting the elderly at a greater risk for deficiency as well. Insufficient Sun Exposure The major factor for vitamin D deficiency is insufficient sun exposure. Geographical location, specifically latitude (distance from the equator) has a major influence on vitamin D levels. The further we are from the equator, the lower the strength of the sun and the lower our potential to produce vitamin D. Season is also important. In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, which means less UV radiation is filtered by the atmosphere, and the daytimes are longer.

Does Sunscreen Use Lead to Vitamin D Deficiency? High-SPF sunscreens are designed to filter out most of the sun’s UVB radiation, since UVB damage is the major cause of sunburn and can lead to skin cancers. UVB wavelengths happen to be the specific wavelengths that trigger vitamin D production in the skin. Nonetheless, clinical studies have never found that everyday sunscreen use leads to vitamin D insufficiency. In fact, the prevailing studies show that people who use sunscreen daily can maintain their vitamin D levels. One of the explanations for this may be that no matter how much sunscreen you use or how high the SPF, some of the sun’s UV rays reach your skin. Should You Supplement Vitamin D? Vitamin D deficiency affects around 1 billion people, making it one of the biggest nutritional issues worldwide. A vitamin D blood level of around 30ng/ml (75nmol/L) is optimal (the blood test is called 25-hydroxyvitamin D or 25(OH)D - which is available at Prodia lab albeit rather costly). To obtain this blood level, evidence supports moderate and regular sun exposure for most humans. If the sun is strong enough exposure every other day for 10-20 minutes of will be sufficient. Darker skin will generally need longer. However, this may not be possible if you live far from the equator and it’s winter. This also may not be practical if your schedule and lifestyle makes it difficult for you to get outside. In these scenarios, a vitamin D supplement is worth considering. Menopausal women, and the elderly should also consider a supplement. In conclusion, vitamin D is not a cure all magic bullet, but it is important. Aim for moderate sun exposure when possible and consider vitamin D supplementation when it is not.

Alternative Voice Are Things Better Now? ...and if it is, will it last?

Of course they are. We live longer, we live better, we’re better educated and most of us are better off than before. By and large we don’t own slaves, we don’t burn women as witches any more, nor do we hang children for stealing handkerchiefs. Yes, bad things happen, possibly more of them than happened back in Genghis Khan’s day but... back in 1340 there were only 440,000,000 of us. Today there are over 7,700,000,000. So, yes it’s better now. If it doesn’t exactly feel like that, you may have a good reason. Many of us born and raised in a developed country may actually be doing less well than we were, but that’s not the way millions of people in India and China feel about the way things are. Or, if you’ve been spooked by Israeli pop philosopher Yuval Noah Harari’s view of a post-human world where 99.7 percent of us are a ‘useless class’ existing solely by the grace and favour of a god-like part human cyber-enhanced elite, you may be forgiven for feeling a little uneasy.

diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart and lung disease. Around 90 percent of these deaths are in low- and middleincome countries, with high volumes of emissions from industry, transport and agriculture. Non-communicable diseases Non-communicable diseases, like diabetes, cancer and heart disease, are responsible for over 70 percent of all deaths worldwide, or 41 million people, including 15 million who die prematurely, aged between 30 and 69. Over 85 percent of these premature deaths are in low- and middleincome countries driven by five major risk factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diets and air pollution.

Then of course, there’s climate change and we all know that’s on it’s way, except for the irretrievably demented or the self-servingly rich and vile. Apart from that things must be getting better because the United Nations and the World Health Organisation tell us so. In the Year 2000 the UN launched the Millennial Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015. Of the eight MDGs in the areas of health, water, food, education and treatment of women, one was achieved in full and the remaining seven were achieved in part, between 50 to 66.6 percent. A respectable result, all things considered. In 2016 the UN launched a follow-up campaign to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) continuing and adding to the earlier MDGs. Last month the World Health Organisation (WHO) joined in the virtuous cycle with their plan to eliminate the ten most serious threats to global health by 2024. The WHO says the world faces multiple health challenges ranging from outbreaks of vaccine-preventable measles and diphtheria, drug-resistant pathogens, growing rates of obesity and physical inactivity, to the health impacts of environmental pollution and climate change. To address these threats the WHO launched its new 5-year strategic plan with a triple billion target: to ensure 1 billion more people benefit from universal health coverage, 1 billion more are protected in case of health emergencies and another billion enjoy greatly improved levels of overall health. Here’s what the WHO is committed to address by 2025: Air pollution and climate change Nine out of ten people breathe polluted air every day and air pollution is the greatest environmental risk to health of all. Microscopic pollutants in the air penetrate respiratory and circulatory systems, damaging the lungs, heart and brain, killing 7 million people prematurely every year from

Global influenza pandemic The world will face another influenza pandemic – the only thing we don’t know is when and how bad. The WHO constantly monitors the circulation of influenza viruses to detect potential pandemic strains: 153 institutions in 114 countries are involved in global surveillance and response. If a new flu strain develops pandemic potential, the WHO will have the necessary diagnostics, vaccines and antivirals (treatments) ready. Fragile and vulnerable settings More than 1.6 billion people (22% of world population) live in places where drought, famine, conflict, population displacement and weak health services leave them without access to basic care. The WHO will strengthen health systems to detect and respond to outbreaks, as well as deliver higher quality health services, including immunization. Antimicrobial resistance The development of antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials are among modern medicine’s greatest successes but these drugs are less effective. Antimicrobial resistance threatens to send us back to a time infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, and salmonellosis were lethal. The WHO is working to implement a global action plan to reduce antimicrobial resistance. Ebola and other high-threat pathogens In 2018, the Democratic Republic of the Congo saw two separate Ebola outbreaks, both of which spread to cities of more than 1 million people, one of them in an active conflict zone. The WHO will identify diseases and pathogens with the potential to cause a public health emergency but where effective treatments and vaccines are lacking. The watchlist includes Ebola, several other haemorrhagic fevers, Zika, Nipah, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus

C/He/G-27 Feb 19

(MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and WHO will prepare for any unknown pathogens. Weak primary health care Primary health care is the first point of contact people have with their health care system, and ideally should provide comprehensive, affordable, community-based care throughout life. The WHO will work to strengthen primary health care globally. Vaccine hesitancy Vaccine reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite availability, threatens to reverse progress made in tackling preventable diseases, says the WHO. Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease – it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year, and a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved, it claims Dengue Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, which can be lethal, killing up to 20 percent in severe cases. Dengue, has been a growing threat for decades and is spreading to less tropical and more temperate countries. An estimated 40 percent of the world is at risk of dengue fever, and there are around 390 million infections a year. The WHO aims to reduce deaths by 50% by 2020. HIV Progress against HIV has been enormous in getting people tested, providing anti-retrovirals (22 million being treated), and providing access to preventive measures via PrEP. However, the epidemic continues to rage with nearly a million people every year dying of HIV/AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 70 million people have acquired the infection, and about 35 million people have died. Today, around 37 million worldwide live with HIV. The WHO will work with countries to support the introduction of self-testing so that more people living with HIV know their status and can receive treatment or take preventive measures. Action & Redemption...? For anyone fifty and under I can only counsel you to take aboard and emulate the intensity and scorn that young Dutch historian Rutger Bregman directed at the world’s influential business and ruling elite at Davos last month and get actively involved in addressing inequality and climate change in a meaningful way. The rest of us to pitch in as best we can. On a symbolic note, I think it is high time that the Unabomber was released. He has both served society and paid his debt to it. And, while we are at it, if the Americans won’t amnesty Snowden and let him return home with honour, then at least (Trump poodles all...for shame!) all wellintentioned countries should offer him asylum.

Education & Family

School News MSB’s Adolescents Break Ground on Permaculture Garden This week Montessori School Bali’s adolescent programme, which was formed this academic year, is set to break ground on their permaculture garden. The class will be getting their hands dirty in the weeks ahead as they explore the horitcultural technique of hugelkultur and all the science and mathematics that can be found within this type of garden. The garden is a natural extension of the micro-business that the students launched this year, lil lotus coFFee. This small business sees the students sell the beans, plus fresh-brewed cups of coffee and organic chocolate (naturally, coffee flavoured). They hold a weekly pop-up cafe in the school’s drop-off area each Friday morning, and also run stalls at school events like the Twilight Market (the next one is happening May 24 — mark your diaries!). Lil lotus coFFee has been supported from the outset by sure.co (https://su-re.co/), a young environmental “thinkdo-be tank” based in Bali that is focused on sustainability and farming within the context of climate change — in particular, working with farmers growing coffee sustainably. Sure-co helped facilitate the class camp, which saw students stay on a Balinese farm to see how coffee is grown and harvested. They also observed how cows contribute to producing clean biogas energy for the farmers (yes, it’s all about manure) and gain firsthand experience with the chemistry involved. Montessori adolescent programmes world-wide typically create a micro-business as a core component of their curriculum. The idea is to involve them in adult work in a way that allows them to see how adults produce and exchange goods and learn sound business skills at a time in their life when they are very interested in this process. The teacher can then work to ensure that the appropriate academic subjects are included. “Nobody is complaining that they will never use maths when they are already using maths in business proposals and working out costings, reinvestment analysis, specialist remuneration and reconciliation,” says Katherine Shearer,

the class teacher. In lil lotus coFFee’s case, the students decided that one third of the profits goes back into the business, one third goes to charity (Lombok relief efforts) and one third goes towards something the class will decide on as a group, such as a trip overseas or some equipment for their classroom. When the students decided to expand their potential Friday morning sales by selling a drink other than coffee, they experimented with orange juice and mango smoothies, but this month switched to pineapple slushies, with pineapples provided by Future Farms Indonesia (FFI, http://www.futurefarmersindonesia.com/). This has been the start of a business relationship the students hope to see grow, with FFI stepping in to help them with their permaculture garden as part of their own efforts to promote farming among young people on the island.

“It has been great to see how this programme exposes the realities of the world and particularly life in Bali to the students,” says Stuart McDonald, the father of one of the students in the programme. “Students are getting out and about exploring the island and learning about life. We can’t wait to see how the permaculture garden develops and what the students learn as it grows.” Engaging adolescents in nature is a fundamental Montessori approach to their education, says principal Jan Gaffney. “Adolescent brains are going through a particularly dramatic period, where neural pathways are collapsing and being rebuilt as they enter into adulthood,” she says. “Immersing adolescents in nature helps them expand excess energy, it keeps them aware of the fastchanging bodies and it connects them to the earth in a very healthy and calming way.” Head and hands work is a basic tenet of Montessori learning, and the whole design of the programme for adolescents aligns with neuroscience research that shows learning is more effective when it is hands-on and involves multiple senses. Planting fruits and vegetables is just the beginning for the MSB permaculture garden. Animals will eventually be added, perhaps goats for milk and cheese, chickens for eggs, and bees for honey. “Permaculture is about creating an entire agricultural eco-system that is sustainable and self-sufficient. It’s going to take a lot of work, but our students are ready for it,” says Katherine.

Creating their own garden will see the students expand their own products for sale at the cafe. As part of the preparation, students also visited the New Earth Cooking School (https://newearthcooking.com) to see their garden and prepare an organic lunch, where they got a real sense of the vast possibilities that lie ahead. The micro-farm, like much of the specifics of each Montessori adolescent programme, will evolve over time and be shaped by the students themselves together as they pioneer the exciting programme.

* MSB’s Adolescent Programme is now accepting enrollments for students aged 12 and 13 (and will continue until they are 15). Email contact@montessoribali.com to arrange an appointment at the school. See more at https:// montessoribali.com*

Restaurant Review

The New Wave…..

Dandelion is an example of the new wave sweeping Bali. Cafes and Restaurants operated by young Balinese restaurateurs who have learnt their trade from working for many years under/ with international professionals and have been able to absorb the resulting lessons. Owner Yunus is such an example. Back in the in the 80’s the main Influences on Bali dining were Australian, American, French and Italian, much as they still are today. Yunus started his journey through all four of such managed places, Australian FJ’s [Legian], followed by the original French Café Warisan, the very U.S. Hard Rock Café [at both the original unofficial version on Jln.. Legian and later at the official one as it now is at Pantai Kuta, then the Italian Pappa’s, also in Legian. Add to that many trips with America-Holland line and the ultimate dream of opening his own Bali restaurant in Canggu became a reality. Dandelion is best described as user-friendly. It is almost as if you are visiting family. You will be welcomed by the family pets, as fluffy, friendly rabbits run around the garden, eager to be petted and fed. The menu is Balinese but with international touches and even a bit healthy [the fries are sweet potato] Originally it was for dinners only but Dandelion is now also open for lunch and in between. . Naturally both Lumpia [vegetarian] and Perkedel Jagung [corn fritters] are amongst the starters but there is more. Udang Galah Sambal Kemangi is coconut grilled blue river prawns in lemon basil. Udang Tim Ketumbar is coriander-marinated prawns and glass noodles with coconut and coriander, steamed in a banana leaf. Then an Indonesian-Chinese touch with steamed Siomay, chicken or

fish dumplings but with a Balinese peanut sauce. For soup choose one of the local classics. Soto Ayam, chicken and noodles in a spicy turmeric and lemongrass broth, Sayur Bobor, a mix of spinach, mushrooms and tofu in coconut milk, and Jukut Gedang that fragrant Balinese soup made with young papaya and spices. Fancy a grill? Your choice of Ahi Tuna or Chicken, it will come with sweet potato fries and a lemon-ginger sauce. The healthier option is of course to order your fish steamed. It can be Mahi-Mahi or Snapper.

Pepes Ahi Tuna is minced tuna rolled in spices and herbs, wrapped in a banana leaf then steamed before grilling. If you do not know what to order there is always the good old Nasi Campur, with a little bit of almost everything. Many Bali restaurants offer ‘just seared’ Tuna, at Dandelion they use the wonderful local Butterfish instead [pictured], just a few spices and sprinkled with sesame seeds, excellent! All of the standard Bali desserts are available. Who can resist that so sweet Dadar Gulung? Small delicate crepes stuffed with grated coconut and drizzled with palm sugar. Budget prices, smiling waiters [and the gregarious owner, whose own style of humour adorns the menu] all leave you with the feeling that you have just dined at the house of a friend, a most pleasurable experience, just don’t forget to feed the rabbits... The boy from Singaraja is now the man at Canggu.

Update Massimo has become a Sanur institution. His Jln. Danau Tamblingan restaurant in Sanur is constantly full of diners, the gelato stand at front forever busy. However the ever-smiling Massimo has never been one to rest on his laurels. Not satisfied with dominating the Bali gelato market, he has continually developed more quality product such as his gluten-free pasta. The Italian breads that he bakes every morning in the wood-fired oven are so popular that if not pre-ordered latecomers find them already sold out. Included in this range are two brown breads [Casareccio and Pagnotta]. Unlike most brown breads these two contain ZERO white flour as the bread mix, an import from Germany, goes through a 48 hour process before the final baking….great for diabetics but they still can not be considered 100% gluten-free as the mix is rolled on white flour. Massimo is also producing Italian Cheese, almost all of the traditional ones found in his home county of Lecce; Mozzarella, Nodini, Burrata, Caprino, Pecorino, Caciotta and Scamorza Affumicata. Some of the cheeses are available fresh or aged. Plus there are cheeses made from buffalo milk from a small herd kept in Java, the Buffalo Mozarella [pictured] is served at the restaurant in very generous slices rather than the thin scrapings often offered elsewhere. An Italian Emporium, class and value! C/R/G-13 Feb. 19

Tarunyan is on Jln.Uluwatu, Jimbaran. It is a family affair and they treat you as being a part of the family. The menu is a mix of local and international. Balinese [snail soup, pepes, lawar, etc.], Indonesian [chicken, noodles and rice dishes], Steaks [local and imported], International [Pizza, Mexican and a Beef & Guiness Stew] plus there are a few special duck and pork dishes. Tasty food, good prices and served with a smile.

C/R/I-30 Jan 19

Warung Chef Bagus on Jln. Bakung Sari, Tuban, is obviously a local restaurant. Mainly Balinese they offer a range of Rijstaffel, a good way to try many different local tastes, there are Pork, Vegetarian and Seafood versions. The menu is very old style Balinese, the fish is SNAFFER [we know what they mean]. Pork Ribs are amongst their specialties and they also offer Suckling Pig, Bali style. There is also a range of excellent sates.

Moana Fish Eatery made its name in Canggu and has now also opened an outlet on Jln. Raya Taman, Seminyak. Self-styled as Polynesian it offers Hawaiian dishes such as the strangely named Poke Bowls. According to Wikapedia, Poke is diced raw fish served either as an appetizer or as a main course and is one of the main dishes of Native Hawaiian cuisine. Traditional forms are aku and he e. He e poke is usually called by its Japanese name Tako Poke, except in places like the island of Ni ihau where the Hawaiian language is spoken. So Moana offers poke, the Maui a specialty, as well a range of other seafood dishes. OIA is a new Greek and Mediterranean restaurant on Raya Ubud [next door to the Museum Puri Lukisan]. Mezze Platter, Gyros, Souvlaki, and a bit of fusion with Lamb Lasagne. Live music so that is a plus or a minus depending on your taste? It is definitely a party place which is fairly normal for a good Greek restaurant. AKAR Café is on Jln. Binaria, at Lovina Beach in Bali’s north. It offers many healthy options; falafel, vegan samosas, etc. Many small plates [tapas style] so a great relaxing spot for snacking. Open all day from breakfast onwards. Some Indian dishes and excellent friendly service. Nude Café is on Jln. Pantai Berawa, in the ever changing Canguu food scene. In this case ‘nude’ is supposed to mean food for a healthy body rather than being served by naked staff. It is open from early morning so breakfast is the go and you can be as healthy or not, as you like? The Berry Chia Parfait, berry compote on a chia yogurt with homemade granola, coconut and maple syrup, ticks all the boxes as does the Mango & Kiwi Bowl with its mango, kiwi and pineapple salsa with coconut and orange. The Smoked Salmon Bagel has cream cheese, burnt capers, smashed avocado and spinach added. The Nude Omelette is stuffed with roast pumpkin, kale, capsicum, caramelised onion, feta cheese and spinach with tomato chili tomato relish and a grain of your choice. I like the Corn Fritters, they are with crispy bacon, harrisa, grilled halloumi, smashed avocado, jalapeño salsa with a poached egg on top. From midday onwards a larger menu comes into play with Salads [Moroccan Spiced Falafel with shaved beetroot, apple, cardamom spiced carrots, roast cashews, and feta], Buns [burger style but using charcoal buns, not sure why??….Spiced Chickpea with chili, harrisa, minted coconut yogurt, beetroot apple slaw, served in a charcoal bun with crispy rosemary potatoes], and Mains [Teriyaki Crispy Skin Salmon with green tea soba noodles, bok choy, edamame, chilli, coriander and sesame].

Air Asia threatens fines and prison time for passengers caught bringing pork products on flights to Malaysia

Air Asia is forbidding passengers flying to any Malaysia destination from bringing food containing pork or any other pork food products on board their aircraft. As reported by Beritabali.com, the prohibition took effects from February 12, 2019. In a statement published on Airasia.com and confirmed via a call to the Air Asia call centre, the prohibition is attributed not to the airline but to the Government of Malaysia. In order to comply with Malaysian law, any pork products found on board their aircraft or in the possession of any Malaysian-bound passenger will be disposed of in specially prepared waste bins in Malaysia. Passengers carrying pork will see these items confiscated and may still be subject to a fine of 100,000 Malaysian ringgit or a 6-month term of imprisonment, or a combination of the a fine and imprisonment. Didi, a travel agent employed by Lila Travel in Bali, confirmed receiving a circular memo from Air Asia advising of the pork prohibition. He was unable, however, to confirm if the prohibition applied to all flights destined for Malaysia or only applied to Air Asia. To date, only Air Asia has issued a warning about the carriage of pork on Malaysian-bound flights. [Bali Discovery February 17, 2019] Tanzanian busted with kilo of meth in stomach: Bali officials

Bali to legalize traditional liquor, create new island brand The Bali administration is set to legalize traditional Balinese arak (liquor made from tuak, a sweet drink from coconut palm flower) with the hope that it will serve as a new trademark of Indonesia’s main tourist destination, said Bali Governor Wayan Koster. “How is it that we are allowed to import liquor, but arak is prohibited? What is the logic behind such legislation? I think those who drafted it made a mistake. Therefore, we will legalize arak,” Koster said during a hearing with the Bali Legislative Council in Denpasar on Monday. The Bali administration has sent a letter to the Industry Ministry to demand the revision of a presidential decree (Perpres) that has not legalized the distribution of arak Bali, Koster said, adding that if the proposal was rejected, he would issue a gubernatorial regulation. However, before legalizing the liquor, the Bali administration will supervise its production, he said. Arak producers can be found across the island, but mostly in Karangasem and Bulengleng regencies. Koster added that without a facility from the government, arak producers had already managed to manufacture good quality liquor by using traditional refineries. “If we help them with the technology, they could produce even higher quality arak,” Koster said as quoted by bali.tribunnews.com. Nyoman Parta, a member of the Bali

Plans for a waste-to-energy plant at Suwung underway, mangroves likely to be uprooted The plan to build a waste-to-energy plant (PLTSa) at the Suwung landfill or ‘final disposal site,’ (TPA) in Serangan, continues to move forward. With construction for the project expected to start at the end of 2019, authorities are currently carrying out a feasibility study, according to an article by Bali Post. Speaking yesterday, Bali Governor Wayan Koster said that, in addition to the ten hectares initially set aside for plant, a further 1.4 hectares of land, currently home to mangroves, would have to be utilized to make way for the new project. With landfill space reduced due to construction, Koster says the extra land would be utilized as a temporary garbage collection site as trash continues to pile up by 1000 tons each day. “Even though there are pros and cons, we have applied to the Ministry of Forestry for the permit,” said Koster, as quoted in Kumparan. If the paperwork goes through, the Bali government has pledged to plant more mangroves in other areas. “The land [for the power plant] must be expanded because it is insufficient…But in other places, we will add 2.8 hectares [of mangroves],” said Koster, as quoted in Bali Post.

A Tanzanian man was arrested in Bali after more than a kilogram of methamphetamine was found inside his stomach, Indonesian authorities said Tuesday (Feb 12). Immigration officials on the holiday island - who routinely detain foreigners for drug offences - said they nabbed Abdul Rahman Asman at the international airport on Jan 30. An X-ray and CT scan turned up about 99 plastic baggies filled with white powder that Asman had swallowed, topping a kilo in weight, authorities said. Dozens of the baggies were displayed on a table at the customs office Tuesday as Asman, 42, was paraded before reporters in an orange jumpsuit and restrained with hand and leg irons. It was not clear if prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Asman but Indonesia has some of the world’s strictest drug laws, including execution by firing squad for traffickers. There are dozens of smugglers on death row, including a cocainemule British grandmother, an American caught with crystal methamphetamine, and several west African inmates sentenced to death for drug crimes. American Husein Ashadi Bahri, 60, was also shown at the conference after his arrest in a drug sting that discovered some 45 grams of marijuana stuffed inside a computer keyboard. [Channel News Asia February 12, 2019] Concrete house in Bali is a tropical Brutalist dream Ever hear of tropical Brutalism? No? Well, get ready to add it to your architectural vernacular because hard-lined, concrete stunners are popping up all over balmy climates. This house in Bali, Indonesia, appropriately named A Brutalist Tropical Home, sits nestled into a lush valley on the island’s southern coast. Architecture studio Patisandhika and designer Dan Mitchell designed a 5,500-square-foot house that both embraces and steels itself against Bali’s persistent warm weather. Perhaps counterintuitively, the house has a wall of glass that stretches for the entirety of the double-height living room. To help protect the interior from the glaring sun, the architects designed a series of concrete slabs that extend from the facade, creating much needed shade. “The challenge with this was the climate-heat and direct sunshine on glass isn’t always the best idea,” Mitchell told Dezeen. “As we opted against using air con for energy saving reasons, we used the overhanging slabs as a solution to block sun and prevent overheating.” The architects designed the home with intentionally simple materials-just concrete and wood-that are meant to provide a backdrop for color and texture from the furniture. The open living room has a wall-sized shelving unit for records that gives the space a utilitarian touch of decor. The house is designed as a split level. The kitchen and dining area are separate from the living room and three bedrooms. The kitchen space opens directly to the outdoors, (read: there are no walls) because it’s Bali, after all. [Curbed February 12, 2019]

Legislative Council’s Commission IV overseeing industrial affairs, supported Koster’s plan to legalize Balinese arak because it would help boost the local economy. He said the government needed to supervise the manufacturing process of arak for better quality products. “If the alcohol content is too high, we can help lower it. If there are issues with hygiene, we will train arak producers to pay attention to such matters, and if their packing is not so attractive, we can help improve the design,” he added. [The Jakarta Post February 12, 2019]

unchecked, the pile of rubbish at the Suwung Landfill is predicted to be as high as 18 meters by 2021,” he said, as quoted in Kumparan. According to Bali Post, the managing of waste via the use of incinerators is new to Indonesia and if adopted, the Suwung model will follow Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese technologies. The plan is for the construction to be carried out by two state-owned companies, Indonesia Power and Waskita Karya. In addition, Koster says that the services of specialist consultants from France will also be utilized to try and minimize any negative impacts. It is estimated that the PLTSa will be fully operational by 2022. [Coconuts Bali February 14, 2019]

Koster also expressed his intention to carry out an environmental impact analysis study on any incinerators used within the plant. By all accounts, the governor is aware of the potential environmental impact of such a facility but said it was now the only way to stem the growth of the garbage mound. “If left All coastlines in Bali suffering from salt water intrusion. Southern areas of the island contaminated up to 4 kilometers inland The intrusion of salt water contaminating the fresh water tables in South Bali is becoming increasingly acute, largely due the over-exploitation of bore holes through illegal wells created by companies and private households. NusaBali report that the degradation of Bali’s water supply from salt water intrusion was the topic of discussion at a gathering held on Friday, February 15, 2019, held conducted by the Politeknik Negeri Bali and the IDEP Selaras Alam Foundation at the Hotel Werdhpura Sanur. Research carried out during 2018 revealed that areas such as Legian, Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran and Tanjung Benoa have already fallen victim to significant salt water intrusion. This is indicated by the high levels of chlorine that make bore water taken in these regions often unsuitable for human consumption. Evidence of salt water intrusion is much in evidence across the Regency of Badung, due to over exploitation of the fresh water table. A scientist from Politeknik Negeri Bali, Surya Negara, was unprepared to declare Bali in a water crisis, saying such a proclamation would require more research.

and Gilimanuk. More evidence of intrusion can be found in Tambanan at Suraberata; Bulelelng ar Gondol at Pemuteran; and Karangasem at Manggis, Amed, and Tulemben. In fact, the only areas free of salt water intrusion are Gianyar and Klungkung. The generalized data for Bali shows salt intrusion penetrating up to 400 meters from the shoreline for all areas of the Island, except in south Bali where the intrusion is more significant, penetrating as much as 1 to 3 kilometers inland. [Bail Discovery February 17, 2019]

Beyond the southern parts of the Island, evidence of salt water intrusion is showing up in other areas of Bali, such as the Regency of Jembrana in the regions of Prancak, Cupel, Pengambengan Garuda group cutting 20% off all domestic ticket prices following deal to drop jet fuel prices While Garuda Indonesia has racked up some impressive service awards in recent years, the national carrier’s high ticket prices, especially compared to budget airlines like Lion Air, has seen its business slipping sharply. But that may all change with the announcement of a massive 20% cut across-the-board on all domestic ticket prices - including Garuda subsidiaries Citilink and Sriwijaya Air - starting today. “This is in line with the aspirations of the community and a number of national industry associations as well as the direction of the President of Indonesia regarding the reduction in airline ticket rates in supporting efforts to increase the national economic sector specifically to support the growth of the tourism sector, MSMEs, and other national industries in supporting economic growth,” Garuda Indonesia’s managing director, I Gusti Ngurah Askhara Danadiputra, wrote in a press statement released today. “We will ensure that the reduction in ticket prices fulfills the continuing commitment of Garuda Indonesia Group to provide quality flight services at competitive rates.” The announcement comes on the heels of the government making a deal with state-owned fuel company Pertamina that will sharply decrease the price of jet fuel. President Joko Widodo had touched on the high price of jet fuel in a speech on Monday

and said that he would find a solution with the heads of the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry. Garuda’s stocks soared yesterday on the news, rising by 3.49% to IDR0.447 per share with a transaction value of IDR26.77 billion. Also yesterday, Garuda was told by the Transport Ministry to set reasonable prices on their tickets and keep their affordability to general society in mind. [Coconuts Bali February 15, 2019]
