MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Greetings fellow music fans and welcome to another edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. This issue sees a return of heavy metal, well scream metal to Boshe night club, the rumors of something bass related over in Seminyak, and the continuing bid to get live music where it belongs here in Bali. This week has been packed full of musical mayhem starting with a visit to Boshe to check out some local Indonesian Metal Screamo and punk bands. It has been a fair while since I went to Boshe, in fact the last time I was there (as some of the more avid readers will remember) was to review American rock band Skid Row, this time the band was a little less prestigious. I was invited by a friend to go check out her friends band Sorry for Yesterday. Now there are many things I don’t really get with Indonesian metal gigs, ¿rstly the fact the Àoor always has tables, second the breaks in music between band sets are ¿lled with techno, not metal or even rock, and third the prices for a metal gig primarily for locals is astronomical; all of this is alien compared to the rock scene in the UK. So after getting a ticket I went to the club. Pretty much everyone was in black so I guess some things are the same. I went to the bar and ordered an expensive whiskey and coke and sat at the table to wait for the band to come and play, it turned out that Sorry for Yesterday were actually the last band on. The event called the Locally Session had six key bands playing including Side of Destiny, Crown Crust, Nothing Fanatic, Engdung and White Eyes. We got there a little late but caught the tail end of White Eyes, what amazed me was the fact that such a loud guttural roar could come out of such a small person. The vocalist was slight to say the least yet, what he lacked in size he made up for in vocal tone and volume. I am not really into screamo music. It’s like metal, it has all the metal riffs but no real singing just roaring, and screaming, It originated in Scandinavia and Canada with bands like Dimmu borgir and Kataklysm and was originally known as death or doom metal has for some obscure reason become very popular in Indonesia. Anyway the second band Engdung made my evening! Far from screamo these guys were the Indonesian equivalent to the Offspring, and had very similar riffs and even were similar in the way they sung the tunes; granted it was in Indonesian, but the lyrics were just repetitive enough to be catchy, and the crunch guitar was immaculate. Finally after more screaming and thrash guitar from other bands Sorry for Yesterday took to the stage, the guys were a mix match of shapes and heights, but they knew how to play and their music was like a softer version of screamo mixed with the musical stylings of Blink 182. The bands only had very short 25 minute sets, and were limited in what they could play but overall it was a very entertaining evening and all these smaller name bands got to play on a massive stage

in front of over 200 people! So for them Boche provides a venue which for metal bands doesn’t exist until you start to regularly play festivals. Saturday saw me rocking out to Jo Jo’s band down at Barbie Q beer garden in Seminyak, the band, (one of my personal favorites) has now become residents here, and are doing shows on Wednesday and Saturday nights. The bar is massive and shaped like a ship so when the music starts playing you sometimes feel like you’re swaying along with the rhythm and the tide. Saturday was a blinder of an evening and the band played a collection of Bali classic bar fodder like Oasis, Guns and Roses and of course Hotel California before ramping up the obscurity and tackling some old school Foo Fighters and of course Paint it Black by the Stones. BBQ bar is (I am reliably informed) also going to do some other entertainment such as an over 18s sexy ladies entertainment evenings (dates to be con¿rmed) and something I am very excited about and what will be a one off in Bali, a drum and bass night. Drum and bass is one of those genres of music that is absolutely massive in one place yet completely unheard of in another. Bali traditionally on the electronic circuit has favored electro house beats over drum and bass ones, and has had venues like Sky Garden marketing the 100 best DJ’s of all time, without giving a thought to drum and bass and the musical legacy of talented DJ’s like Ronni Size. Occasionally when out clubbing you may hear a familiar bass drop of something like Pendulum but these tunes are few and far between. It’s fair to say that other than occasional dub step, drum and bass’s illegitimate kid brother; there is nowhere catering for this kind of music on the island. That is until now, as soon a new drum and bass DJ will be bringing his talents to Barbie- Q. I caught up with this DJ who does not yet want his identity known to talk about the project. TJB: DJ: TJB: DJ: TJB: DJ:

Do you really think drum and bass could work in Bali? Yea man sure it can, it’s massive in the UK so why not bring it into the Bali sun. Do you think the event will draw a crowd? Yep de¿nitely, the Aussies are lapping up dub step so in time they’ll get into a bit of d&b How long before we know for de¿nite this event will be taking place at Barbie Q? It’s going to take a bit of time probably three months to get everything going sweet, I’ll let you know

That’s it for this issue folks, until next time keep it live, and make it matter.

Canggu Community School Puts a Capital “C” in Care

Canggu News submissions for future editions are welcome to be emailed to: canggueditor@yahoo.com If you are submitting information about a future event, please be sure to provide accurate details regarding time and place and include pictures where relevant.

There are numerous reasons why I am delighted my children attend Canggu Community School, their pastoral care and community mindedness most deﬁnitely not the least of them! So it was little surprise when my cherubs announced that the student body at the school had requested they organise their very own fundraiser to support the efforts of aid workers assisting the victims of the recent earthquakes in Nepal.

was made that the grand total raised was an amazing Rp 54,984,200 plus an additional USD500!!!

Director Beccy Fox recalls, “The requests came into my office thick and fast! ‘Can we have a bake sale?’ ‘Can we have a non-uniform day?’ ‘Can we sell our toys to raise money for Nepal?’”

Hearty congratulations must go to the entire Canggu School community for their fantastic fundraising efforts. This money has been sent to the Lincoln School in Kathmandu, a CIS accredited international school and fellow member of EARCOS. The money sent will go towards rebuilding local homes providing medical care and supporting the communities. Students of Canggu Community School will be able to see how the funds are distributed through their school website and Facebook page. (www.lsnepal.com).

The result of all of these requests was the market day held at the school on Friday May 8th. It was a totally student led event with stalls, games and activities all planned and manned by the different year groups from pre school to year 12. Students brought in toys, books and baked goods to sell at their stalls which were well patronised by mums, dads, grandparents, friends, teachers, students and siblings alike in an effort to ﬁll the coffers for earthquake aid. In addition to the goods donated by the families at the school, Arvy from popular Batu Belig nail salon Think Pink, very generously donated treatment vouchers to be raffled off on market day. Of course, as this was the Friday prior to Mothers’ Day,

tickets sold like hot cakes with many hoping to win a special gift (and brownie points) for their number one mum! After the stallholders had pedaled their wares and the games were over, accounting staff in the ﬁnance office were left with the momentous task of tallying the mountain of notes and coins! Within several hours the announcement

Social Responsibility in Action The recent tragic events in Nepal seemed to strike a chord with many and it has been heartening to see the overwhelming response from those willing to help via donations, fundraising and volunteer efforts. The evening of Thursday May 7th saw a shining example of this social responsibility in action with The Canggu Club hosting The Nepal Earthquake Appeal, with monies raised at the event gazetted for distribution between UNICEF, The Red Cross and the motivated team from Bye Bye Plastic Bags in their efforts to help the victims of the recent earthquakes. The fundraising evening kicked off after the Junior Sports Academy concluded their AFL Auskick training at 5pm and as the BBQ ﬁred up, raffle ticket sales were running hot! Many who came along to support the event made the most of the cooler evening air, securing a table outside to watch the Bali Geckos in training action. Inside the The Club House, guests were keen to take advantage of the evening’s special wine prices as well as the chance to ‘taste before buying’ and bar staff were kept on the hop! Outside, crowd numbers were building and guests enjoyed some smooth tunes from popular entertainer Athron, who very generously donated his time and talents on the evening to help support this worthy cause.

Hotel, Kermas and The Stones, Legian with ﬁrst prize being two nights’ accommodation at one of Semara Luxury Villa Resort’s ﬁve bedroom villas! Some other lucky attendees were also recipients of extra prize donations such as a Cocoon Medical Spa voucher to the value of one million rupiah, two tickets to the recent Canggu Club Mothers’ Day luncheon and a one million rupiah voucher for food and beverage at Finn’s Beach Club. Raffle draws done and dusted, guests were treated to an address by the two inspirational young instigators of the Bye Bye Plastic Bags Appeal, Green School students and sisters, Isabel and Melati Wijsen. These eloquent and entrepreneurial young ladies had the crowd engaged and enthusiastic to hear more about the incredible environmental and humanitarian achievements by the largest ‘children driven action group’ the island has ever seen! On the whole, The Canggu Club Nepal Appeal was a resounding success with a total of Rp 45 million raised on the evening. Guests were clearly keen to do what they

With all of the humanitarian aid and funding headed in the ‘right’ direction, it is hoped that the earthquake victims can at least make a start on rebuilding their homes and lives. A job well done CCS. You should be very proud! www.ccsbali.com mail@ccsbali.com +62 361 8446 390 could to contribute with raffle ticket sales amassing a nottoo-shabby Rp 27.6 million! Rp 1.4 million was received in donations on the night in addition to another Rp 16 million donated by The Canggu Club which went directly to Bye Bye Plastic Bags Nepal Appeal to assist in the purchase of rice to feed the earthquake victims. The remaining amount raised will be distributed to Red Cross and UNICEF to go toward their aid efforts in Nepal. Special mention must also go to incredible seven year old Ben Breeze who also donated a portion of the monies he has raised through his charity Ben’s Boxes and their gofundme page, to the Bye Bye Plastic Bag campaign. In a climate where sadly, much of the news we hear is negative, it is uplifting to know that generosity, community and compassion is still alive and well!

7pm came around quickly and it was time to draw the raffle prizes. Local businesses rallied in support of the event by donating fantastic prizes such as accommodation and food and beverage packages. Prizes included a 750K lunch voucher thanks to sensational Barbacoa restaurant, two nights’ accommodation at the gorgeous Komune

Fabulous Faces Help to Fund Furry Friends Heads up ladies! How often do you get the opportunity to meet a top makeup artist and learn their professional secrets? I can’t speak for the rest of you glamorous gals but thanks to Bali’s relentless humidity, my daily makeup mantra stretches as far as a lick of mascara and a swipe of khol and is guaranteed to have me resembling a panda bear by mid morning! Granted, living in the land of smiles rarely requires little more effort than a scraped back pony, a slap of sunscreen and a pair of havaianas, however when we do wish to go that extra mile and glam up for a special event or a night on the tiles, it’s handy to know a few tricks of the trade! On May 29th, The Canggu Club has invited international make up artist, Debbie Jean to present a workshop sharing some of her professional skills and secrets, with all proceeds from ticket sales going to worthy local cause, the Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA).

Prices are Rp270,000 per person and workshops will include anti ageing make up tips (handy for skin that is often exposed to the harsh Bali sun) as well as the latest techniques and products. During her masterclass, Debbie will highlight the importance

of using the right tools and products for applying make up in this tropical climate, dos and don’ts, clever make up illusions and quick application techniques for adapting your look from daytime chic to evening glamour. Through live demonstrations on workshop participants (pick me! pick me!) Debbie will illustrate how easy it is to use simple techniques to help us transform our look from weary to wow! She is happy to answer questions about skin care and choosing the right product for your skin type as well as handy hints and techniques to help ward off those worrying wrinkles. Held in the privacy of The Canggu Club’s function room, attendees will also enjoy light refreshments and the opportunity to try out their newly acquired skills without interruption or feeling like the latest public attraction at the Mac counter! Numbers for these workshops are limited so avoid disappointment get in early to book your tickets at Canggu Club reception or online at: https://canggu.tixy.com.au/event/ bawa. Not only will you be learning life long techniques for looking good, your monies will be going toward a very worthy cause to help our local furry friends.

27 May - 10 June, 2015

were informed that there would be a prize for the group collecting the most rubbish. The children then split into seven groups of ﬁve, and they sauntered off on their ‘treasure hunt’.

Beach Clean Up for Earth Day On Saturday 25 April 2015, in celebration of Earth Day, AquaMarine Diving - Bali organized a Beach Clean-up at the Batu Belig beach in south west Bali with the students of the Kerobokan Sekolah Dasar (Elementary School). Forty enthusiastic pupils were eager to get to the beach to start their educational and fun day out. The event was coordinated with the help of Adit from Bali Eco Recycling and Wayan from the Bali Sea Turtle Association. The day started early with AquaMarine staff meeting the students at the school grounds then, after the quick meet and greet, everyone climbed aboard two of AquaMarine’s buses and they made their way to the beach. Upon arrival, they were met by Wayan and Adit. Bali Eco Recycling provided them with several colour-coded rubbish bags and briefed the children on what items to put into which coloured bags: Red bags for plastic, glass and metal; green for paper waste. To make the event a little more interesting, the children

Approximately forty ﬁve minutes later, all of the children reassembled and the group with the heaviest collection of litter was awarded a Project AWARE mug for each group member. Somewhat surprised and shocked by certain items of rubbish they found, the students never thought that baby diapers, sandals, underwear or even syringes would ﬁnd their way to their local beach! With the actual clean-up completed, everyone returned to the school grounds where AquaMarine staff commenced a Project AWARE presentation, further explaining the importance of looking after the environment and protecting the fragile marine ecosystems. Bali Eco Recycling explained about the detrimental effects on the life around us when we do not dispose of rubbish correctly, and Wayan from Bali Sea Turtle Association

Samadi Market Sundays

Now the latter piqued my curiosity and after a chat with stall holder Laura, I got the lowdown on this tea based tonic and its (more than likely) Northeast Chinese origins. It’s recognised by many for its probiotic powers to cleanse your system and generally make your insides happy and healthy! They had numerous ﬂavours to sample including one that tasted very similar to a mojito. I like it…… I like it a lot! Stay

The event reached its end with a quiz about the information given out throughout the day – and more prizes! Events such as The Earth Day Beach Clean Up will continue in the hope that these students have a better understanding of the importance of separating everyday household waste, the effect of the rubbish on the environment and that when they return home, they will share this new found knowledge with friends and families. the Denpasar rubbish dump slums. In conjunction with Green School and Balilife.org, this is a project designed to provide employment as an alternative to them searching the dump for food and recyclables while simultaneously providing their children with schooling nutrition and medical attention. Was there ever a better reason to buy a set of drinking glasses?

As is the case on many a Sunday, I decided to start my Mothers’ Day off with a quiet little ride around the ‘Gu, sans children and husband, and enjoy some early morning calm. I was rather excited to stumble upon the small and friendly Samadi Organic Markets on Jalan Padang Linjong. I had heard about these Sunday markets from a couple of friends but had yet to venture along to take a squizz. Located at Samadi Bali - a centre for ‘radical well-being and self empowerment’, the idea of an on premise organic market seemed a natural progression for a place promoting a healthy lifestyle, yoga, holiday retreats and holistic wellness treatments. The markets, commencing at 9am each Sunday, comprise a selection of stalls offering up organic fruit and vegetables, fresh seafood, bakery items, nuts and dried fruits, chutneys and relishes, clothing, arts and crafts, jam and kombucha!

described how rubbish ﬂoating in our oceans adversely affects the life of sea turtles.

Another stall offered up tastings of tangy fruit chutneys. Never one to say ‘tidak’ to a tasting, I sampled a tomato tapenade along with chutneys like mango and mint as well as papaya, dill and chilli! Sweet and spicy and perfect with a few crackers or to add ﬂavour to your casserole or curry. All of these as well as nuts, dried fruits and much more are also available at the recently opened Canggu Shop on Jalan Raya Batu Bolong. tuned for more on Happy Kombucha in the future. I wandered further inside and came across a stall of recycled items. In addition to funky jewellery formed from shampoo bottles, necklaces from paper products and very chic bamboo straws, I fell in love with the tumblers made from recycled wine bottles. Now as well as being a very chic receptacle for my avo vino, these glasses tell an even more interesting story. Friendly and informative stall holder Kim, tells me they are cut from recycled bottles by the mothers who live in

After happily browsing the remaining stalls, I said a quick ‘Hi!’ to the resident goose and its guinea pig companion - (Samadi’s answer to the odd couple) and lugged my purchases out to the bike. With so many healthy goodies for sale, I will be sure to return to Samadi Markets on a regular basis, but next time…..I’ll bring the car! www.samadibali.com Email: info@samadibali.com Phone: +62 812 3831 2505 Jalan Padang Linjong 39, Echo Beach Canggu Bali

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE MAY 27 - JUNE 10, 2015

It may feel like a slow motion movie until the Full Moon in Sagittarius just after midnight on the 2nd. At this time she will make a wide trine to both Uranus and Jupiter which will kick-start anything you’ve been sidelining since the New Moon in Taurus. The Uranus/Jupiter trine is exact towards the end of June and by then our retrograde Mercury will have moved forward from its turning degree and Venus, the lady of love, will have moved up to join Jupiter in Leo. We have a rather long period of Venus retrograde coming up from the end of July through to the beginning of September and she will join Jupiter twice more by the end of October. What this means is that our primary relationships are up for revision and this will bring a great deal of change and growth. Pay close attention to the events that take place from mid to end June and remember that Saturn begins its last little stint in the sign of Scorpio from then until mid-September as well. There could be some radical departures all paving the way for new beginnings for many people. Old relationships and friendships will fall away and our very value systems remodelled. But I am jumping ahead of things here and will return to this time of mental reflection of our current Mercury retrograde. It’s time to use the mind to calm, direct and create our lives. This is a time of networking and introducing expanded consciousness into the everyday.

FULL MOON 11 Sagittarius 49 June 3, 2015 00:20 a.m.

Your thoughts will be attuned with much higher ideals this Full Moon and this will inspire you to motivate yourself towards change in the area of your own personal identity or how you market or present yourself. Children could play a strong role in your life over the coming weeks or there could well be a new romance on the horizon; one that will bring travel, adventure and for sure a lot of personal growth. It could be that you have some issues to deal with when it comes to financial obligations or joint projects. Be ever mindful that your ego doesn’t get in the way and spoil a good opportunity.

There’s a stronger pull to community now and a deep love for friendships and the recognition of how they enrich your love relationship. It also brings new pathways to emotional understanding when the field enlarges through communication. Monetary and material acquisitions will come up for tougher scrutiny as you reassess and release some of the things no longer required. This is all a part of the mid-year alignments that will bring you full throttle into your new life by your next birthday. Patience is the most beneficial attribute you could possess during times of change; when things appear to be in flux and transition allow yourself to relax.

Some of you will be rethinking your commitments to those significant others in your life, whether they be work partnerships or more romantic liaisons or even family members. This Full Moon as well highlights the emotional need to rise above petty concerns when it comes to sharing your life with others. When you take more time for yourself to deeply contemplate you will be in a position to claim your own leadership capacity and to create a foundation for yourself. The feminine instincts are strong and very protective and you are able to use them effectively when it comes to the deeper issues of life. Time to be strong.

Saturn’s return to Scorpio will deeply affect you and how the World perceives you through your appearance and personality. There may be the last of the rough edges to be smoothed before you feel fully confident to promote the new you. For now, the Full Moon is bringing a little new light on your views and perhaps to your money making ventures. An important woman is about to enter your life and she will influence your career and the work that you are currently doing. These will merge more into one and the same thing in the very near future. Allow yourself to be reworked and revise your strategy.

A further detoxification may be necessary as you align yourself with the potent energies available during these next few months. Think beyond the scope of bodily cleansing and you will get a sense of what needs to be released for you to become a more effective communicator. This Full Moon sheds light on your significant relationships and brings the understanding of your priorities or simply the impulse to change your group affiliation and friendships. You may find yourself speaking up about topics that were once alien to you and have now become fully entrenched within your new ideology. Remember you are in a process that takes time to unfold.

This fortnight brings a lovely big and bright Full Moon in your sign and bodes well for change, growth and expansion, particularly in the area of travel or legal matters. There could be a foreign love connection or a romance that is about to blossom and will take you on an exotic adventure. On the more mundane level you may see your children succeeding at their studies and you are acknowledged for your part to play in their success. Conversely you yourself may have completed a round of learning that will see you embarking on a new course in your own life. There are still some hidden facets to be uncovered in the next weeks.

As you allow a larger perspective of your physicality to take precedence much healing is made available to you. Your work may take a turn for the better or even be set to change altogether. This could be something that you’ve felt for a long time but now you can begin to actualise it and bring it into material manifestation. The beginning phase can often be a time of letting go, grief as well as excitement, nervousness and anticipation. Things look good for you though when it comes to financial matters and practical worldly concerns. Take things slowly and let go at your own pace, even when you feel pressed to act.

This promises to be an interesting Full Moon for you as what appears on the surface won’t be what’s going on beneath the facade. There’s a deep and powerful attraction that is shaking the already uncertain foundations. You will finalise the changes to your environment, friendships and community over the next few months and will be ready for your own new beginning. The transition phase can be unsettling and there may be grief involved as your release and complete. For now, focus on your bright new future and envision it with joy and clarity of intention. If this new romance is blossoming take time to digest and integrate the experience.

It looks like love for the Leo native and a really big dose of it, but do wait just a minute before you jump in boots and all. There is a Venus retrograde coming up in your sign and so any hasty decisions you make now will be revised for a good few weeks. Let this not deter you though from a little creative expression and perhaps a re-invention if necessary as you rise to meet the new expanded and upgraded version of yourself. It may even be candle lit dinners and long beach walks on this particular Full Moon. If there are parental or family issues then they will be sure to arise during mid-year for a final clearing.

There’s a lot of community based activities coming up for you and they promise to bring a lot of fun and joy and even romance. Group gatherings or friendships will be filled with discussion, bordering on debate that will no doubt enliven you and bring you in contact with some very interesting people. Meanwhile, the deep, profound and lasting changes that are going to affect you for some years to come are centred on your career. There’s some finalization that will create a void through the necessary release of the past. From that clear space then you will launch yourself into the next phase of your life.

If you are one for a little secrecy and would prefer a hidden rendezvous with your beloved then this could be the time for you to open yourself to a little experimentation. For those who are single and would prefer to remain that way then you could use the coming weeks for personal work on the relationship theme; a time to review past patterns, learning and vision boarding or consciously creating your next partnership. Family matters or the understanding of early childhood relationship themes could arise with this current Full Moon. There’s a lot of growth potential here for you as you do the mental work and release the past patterning.

With this Full Moon you may feel the impulse to teach and to share the information that you’ve recently acquired. This will attract to you the people and circumstances that bring the next round of evolutionary growth. There’s an important woman in the mix or for some a new romance that will influence your work and your health. As you share the knowledge you will integrate it for yourself and this will catalyse another burst of transformation. Life will look very different in a few months time and this is the preparatory phase. Take your time and feel your way through the transition and your standing in the world will benefit.

We Need Medical Cover – But, Mind How You Go…. Next to having enough water to drink, food to eat and a roof over our heads, the next major concern for all of us must be affordable and effective health care. Right now we are not headed in a good direction with any of the above. There is every reason to be concerned, but not for despair. Human ingenuity and capacity for effective co-operation can, if we are smart, ¿nd solutions to these problems. It’s a big “if”, however, and looming above it all lies the question of climate change. Macro ¿gures for world health show us things are getting better. More people survive disease than ever before. An encouraging demographic, but one that starts at a very low baseline. Higher up the demographic scale, things are not so rosy. Healthcare is becoming unsustainable and unaffordable, driven by runaway medical costs. Public medicine is being run down with potentially dire results in the face of inevitable pandemics. In the US public hospitals are closing down because they can’t afford to discharge their legal obligation to treat emergency cases for the poor. Where they exist, national health care systems are being forced to ration services and in countries where medicine for pro¿t is the norm, tens of millions can’t afford treatment. US studies for 2013-14 show 84 million people, almost 30% of the population, are either uninsured, partially insured or under-insured. Over half that number have no insurance at all. Another 75 million are in debt as a result of medical bills. Obamacare, a small step in the right direction, now has 9.5 million of the previously uninsured now covered. People living outside their country of origin, particularly in places like Bali where standards of medical diagnostics and treatment are rudimentary yet increasingly expensive, medical health insurance with evacuation are vital. The choice of medical insurer is therefore a key decision. Medical costs increase significantly every year and these costs are passed on to us. Terms governing cover are changed as suits the insurer with little recourse for the insured. Indeed, existing insurers can be bought out or even go out of business altogether, leaving us with diminished cover or no cover at all. In Australia and Europe the insured may have some recourse to independent national organizations set up to give us a fair deal but for customers outside these areas there is little we can do. At the end of the day, however carefully you read the small print, it is your insurance company who made the rules and decides how they are applied.

even refused to treat patients covered by them. Goodhealth coverage was just plain stressful. God help you, if you faced a life-threatening illness. So stark was the difference I spoke to the Goodhealth managing Director in London. He was refreshingly forthcoming. He admitted his company questioned everything. By way of explanation he said, with some justice, that medical costs in a place like Hong Kong for example, were grossly inÀated and that doctors and patients colluded when it came to claiming insurance; that they had a responsibility to question whether or not tests ordered and treatment was appropriate. He had a point, and went on to say that it was a matter of business approach. Their competitors charged more but questioned less. They charged less and questioned more. That was eight years ago and the world of medical insurance has headed a lot more in the Goodhealth direction. Sad to say IHI was bought out by BUPA, a large British organisation who, despite being what’s called a mutual provident fund and a non-pro¿t organization without shareholders, nonetheless is on the expansion trail and clearly follows the Anglo-Saxon business model over the Continental system. Continental Europe (exclude the UK) still retains a much clearer sense of their dual responsibility to patients and shareholders. BUPA promised IHI clients that nothing would change with their cover, in fact things would improve. Not true, it was the standard corporate doublespeak. In short order, age increases were increased up to age 80, exclusions were introduced, standard BUPA procedures were adopted across the board and a much more aggressive stance was adopted toward tests and procedures “second guessing” doctors. They even stopped covering reconstructive surgery in breast cancer cases. Remnants of the Scandinavian approach remained in for IHI patients but overall the standard Anglo-American approach ruled.

Today I believe companies like IHI, a Danish company owned by the traditionally social-minded Wallenberg Group of Sweden and who were able to marry good business with good medicine, are a thing of the past. It is all business now.

While insurance companies today have a case to answer and could do a lot better, they are not the only ones driven by pro¿t. Hospitals too are notorious for overcharging. They feather-bed senior executives and pay low wages to nurses and service staff; tests in hospital and use of facilities are hugely inÀated, as are drugs sold in-hospital. A box of tissues in hospital can be seven times as expensive as buying it yourself downtown. Doctors are no slouches either at sticking it to the insurance companies. Daily hospital visits lasting a few minutes by internists and specialists can cost thousands of dollars, not to mention exhaustive tests, even unnecessary Eight years ago I wrote an article in this newspaper on surgical procedures. medical insurance comparing two reputable medical insurance plans I called Company A and Company B. Company Somehow these vested interests rub along together well A was what I termed the Rolls Royce of health cover and enough, and why wouldn’t they? At the end of the day it is we, Company B was a budget alternative. They were respec- the public, who have to pay for it.

The article obviously hit a nerve because I got over 300 between 5 and 12 percent.

It is an asking the identity of Company A and B respectively. unsustainable model, which requires re-balancing, expanding the public sector while retaining private medicine for those What I found back then was that while IHI charged about who want and can afford it.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Who do I contact in my local area about illegal waste disposal? Part II Last issue I talked about the village political system that you can approach if you have an environmental concern. As I mentioned, it is normally best to start at the village level before you contact higher government bodies or departments, since (in theory) you could sort out things at this lower level. So you can choose from the following, in order of importance and power: Kepala Desa (village head), Kepala Linkungan/Dusun (head of the local area/hamlet), Klian Banjar (head of the banjar) and Klian Tempek (right hand man to the head of the banjar). The first I suggest you approach is the Klian Tempek. He is the least busy, may answer his phone or text messages, and is more likely to be at home. However, he has very little real power and doesn’t receive a salary. He can tell people off (and therefore potentially threaten his own personal relationship with people in the community) but I’m not sure if he can fine anyone since he is not a part of the structure that is always found in each banjar in Bali. If you’re lucky, you may have a progressive Klian Banjar – he also doesn’t receive a salary; however, he has more power and is more respected and better known by the local community. He is able to impose fines which can be implemented by his pecalang (traditional security guys). He will be busier and perhaps not often at home. Texting rather than phoning is probably your best bet. These guys won’t normally be on email or on social media like FB or Twitter, but this depends on the individual. It’s not necessary to send formal, written complaints – this is for the next level up. Since both of these guys are unpaid and generally prefer to keep face in the community rather than resolve conflicts or issues, it is kind of understandable that they have little motivation to sort out problems between neighbours, even if one party is doing something irresponsible, polluting or criminal (illegal dumping and burning of trash fits all of these criteria in Indonesia). Next issue, I’ll explain how to approach the next layer in the village hierarchy.

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

YOU SAID WHAT DOC?

Challenges of the Expatriate in the Local Health System Most expatriates who live in Bali long enough will find that dealing with the local health system can be somewhat challenging. Let’s examine the causes of these frustrations and how can we best address the system so as both party’s can work well together.

In developed countries the doctor / patient ratio is between 2 – 4 doctors per 1,000 people. In Indonesia the ratio is approximately 0.2 Doctors per 1,000 people. Indonesian doctors often have 3 places of practice each day: hospital, government clinic as well as private practice. That’s a huge patient load!

Communication: Most doctors working in the health sector dealing with expatriates can speak basic English, but let’s face it English is a complicated language with many dialects, accents (Australian, Scot, Brit, American, New Zealander etc), as well as all the metaphor’s and synonyms. Add to this all the other languages that the doctor is dealing with such as Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Italian, German etc. One recollection I have from an “Aussie patient / Indo doctor” experience was quite a giggle. The doctor was puzzled by the woman’s complaint, which was “hair loss”. The lady indeed had beautiful hair. After a brief intervention I managed to ascertain that the woman actually had hair “LICE”. …pronounced “LOYCE” with her strong Australian accent! So a doctor needs to be linguistic genius as will as good health practitioner. Just think about it. A doctor asks a simple question. “So how are you today?” The myriad of replies could include: “Not so well”, “Not feeling too good”, “Not feeling flash”. “Not 100%”, “Could be better”, “Not my usual self”. “I feel sick, rotten, like death-warmed-up, terrible…” etc and so it goes on. And this is just the initial introduction! If this is a hurdle how will the rest of the consultation go?

Cost Factors Non-Indonesian citizens often complain about the pricing structure in many hospitals and clinics. Generally the cost will depend on whether you have a tourist visa, KITAs or you are an Indonesian citizen. Your bill may come to 2 or 3 times more than a local person if you are a tourist. There is some fairness in this as generally speaking most expatriates / tourists are on a larger income than the average Indonesian. However this is not always the case. The wealthy sector in Bali / Indonesia is indeed extremely wealthy, and not all expatriates / tourists are here on a huge budget. However until Indonesia’s health system is means tested and non-prejudice (probably never happen) you can still expect to pay more for your healthcare as a foreigner in Indonesia.

Medical Culture: Most expatriates hail from a “culture of question”, a thirst for knowledge, particularly regarding our health. This is considered normal practice in most developed countries. However the culture of Indonesia is generally not to question seniors, peers or those of great knowledge. Bombarding our doctors with a barrage of questions is frequently misinterpreted as questioning the doctor’s advice and his ability to practice. If you present yourself waving “Dr Google” in the doctors face this can almost certainly be a source of annoyance. Lets face it - it’s hardly fair to compare the human brain with the vast knowledge on the World Wide Web. All this can really interfere with the outcome of the consultation, and result in the doctor feeling offended and the patient feeling dissatisfied. Doctor – Patient ratio When we consult with a doctor we usually expect to be given at least 15-20 minutes of time for consultation, advice and questions. However in many cases the doctor has no time to chat, and tends to hurry his patients along, who are often feeling bewildered at the end of the meeting. Consider that aside from feeling uncomfortable about being questioned he / she also has a massive patient load.

Solutions • Speak slowly and clearly when communicating with your doctor. Stick to the immediate problem rather that strike up a non-related conversation. • When asking questions regarding your diagnosis and/or treatment, try to maintain a polite tone and respect the culture in which you live. • Understand that the doctor does not have a lot of time. Be punctual with your appointment. Keep non-health related discussion minimal. • Understand that you will pay more for your care than an Indonesian citizen. Make sure you have funds or insurance to cover your care while you live in Indonesia. • Stay healthy ☺

B EAUTY D ISCOVERY

FACE CREAMS In a perfect world, we probably do not need face creams of any kind, at all. We eat well, not smoke, get plenty of sleep and drink suf¿cient water, no pollution, no fear of UV damage and plenty of negative ions from natural settings. Your skin would be in perfect condition – beautifully hydrated, smooth and supple.

choosing a skin cream. Also consider the type of sleeper you are when choosing a night cream. If you’re a side sleeper, or switch from side to stomach in the night, you will need to look for a cream that won’t bleed onto your sheets. If you always sleep face up on your back, you may be able to use a heavier cream that is also oilier.

But the reality is that we are bombarded with free radicals all day long, which stress our skin and cause sensitivity, sun and environmental damage and premature aging. It is still not to say that we actually need a separate day and night cream. Much of the time, if our moisturiser packs a punch with antioxidants we can probably get away with just using that day and night. However, there are some pretty good reasons why you might like a separate night cream and day cream. And also facial serum to make the day and night cream more effective.

Why Use Both? There is a real difference—purposewise and texturewise— between night creams and day creams. Will using a night cream in the morning cause a calamity? No. The worst that could happen is that your skin will feel greasier than normal and won’t be protected from the sun. Likewise, a day cream used at night will still provide some moisture and support, but your skin probably won’t get a full range of anti-aging and moisturizing ingredients.

DAY CREAM During the day your skin is in protection mode. It’s doing its best to ¿ght against all the environmental aggressors, UV rays, pollution, environmental stresses, and makeup. Your day cream is ¿lled with antioxidants, peptides and usually a high SPF to support it with its protective actions to prevent burning and photoaging, antioxidants to ¿ght free radicals, and ingredients like caffeine to make skin look energized and ¿rm. Day creams are usually designed to be worn under cosmetics, so they have light, non-greasy formulas that are absorbed quickly and allow pores to breathe. They provide a smooth, oil-free canvas for foundation to glide on smoothly.

NIGHT CREAM At night, skin switches into rest and repair mode, in line with your biorhythms and sleep patterns. Like the rest of t h e b o d y, s k i n does the bulk of its repairing, restoring, and regenerating while we sleep. The purpose of a night cream is to support your skin through that, and make it more ef¿cient at maintaining a healthy complexion. They contain the most powerful, slow-absorbing moisturizers that are designed to penetrate over the course of several hours; since there’s little to no concern about sun exposure, they also contain the highest concentrations of anti-aging compounds ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, and hyaluronic acid, which are able to do their work without interference from sunscreens. The result is that night creams are often richer, thicker, or heavier than day creams. Of course, we don’t mind much, since most of us don’t wear makeup to bed, and the cream is usually absorbed by the time we wake up. If you would like to use a night cream, think of the kind of skin you have, and look for those creams for your type of skin. If you have consistent troubles with your skin like exceptionally dry skin, a lot of breakouts, rosacea or the like, you might want to consult a dermatologist before

The decision of whether to use two moisturizers or one is ultimately a personal choice. Some women choose to have two different products (plus eye creams and serums) to keep their skin in its best shape, while some ¿nd that one all-purpose moisturizer with moderate amounts of antiaging ingredients, moisturizers, and sun protection works just ¿ne.

SERUM To get the best results for gorgeous-looking skin, along with your cleanser, toner and moisturizer, day cream and night cream, add a face serum to your daily skin care routine. The specialty of this elixir lies in the fact that it is formulated to target speci¿c skin problems. So whether you want to reduce fine lines, smooth out wrinkles, get rid of dark spots, prevent acne, reduce pores or brighten up your skin, serums come in a variety of formulas. Serum is loaded with nutrients, ceramides, glycerin, natural ingredients (cucumber, aloe vera etc.) and vitamins like C, K, E, skin serums are oil or waterbased products, that have the ability to penetrate deep within the layers of your skin, so that you get phenomenal results. Unlike other skin products, these have a higher concentration of active ingredients and usually come in a creamy gel form. In fact, new age serums use silicones, which allow your skin to receive the supplements, without the grease.

For best results, incorporate the serum in your daily beauty routine. Use only a dime size of the product. l After cleansing your face, use an alcohol-free toner and leave it damp on the skin before applying your serum. This way, the ingredients will penetrate deep within the skin. l Wait for a few minutes until the serum is fully absorbed by the skin before applying a day cream or night cream l Keep your day/night cream in the refrigerator as when it is applied cold, it pushes blood away from the skin and in the process, creates a vacuum effect to pull the potent serum ingredients deeper within the skin.

Now all of you living in Ubud seeking aestetic treatments won’t need to travel to Seminyak. Cocoon Medical Spa just opened a second branch on the bottom of Monkey Forest Road with it’s unique modern wooden sculpture in front, a bit similar to it’s big sister. Inside, the decor is reminicient to the Seminyak location with frosted glass walls and huge stones for a walkway through the spa. The new spa has five treatment rooms, a smaller reception but a large comfortable relaxation area to wait before your treatment or rest a little afterwards. Each of the treatment rooms is spacious and with frosted glass walls and mirrors , very clean looking and containing ultra-modern equipment for the newest treatments available. Two rooms house the colon cleansing equipment with infared sauna, one room contains the laser hair removal and the other two rooms are used for facial and fat blaster treatments. The room at the back of the building has a lovely view of rice ¿elds directly behind the spa. Cocoon won the Yak Award for best spa in 2013 and continues to offer excellent professional services of the highest standards from their doctors, nurses and therapists using the the latest equipment and imported products. At the moment appointments must be booked in advance in Ubud to arrange for one of the doctors or nurses to come from Seminyak. But all of that will change very soon with their own staff residing in Ubud on a full-time basis. At this time three times a week a doctor comes up to Ubud for consultations, botox and ¿ller injections. A nurse is on hand for all days to perform the other treatments for face and body.

Microdermabrasion is wonderful for removing the dead upper layer of skin, leaving it smooth and extremely clean. After throughly cleaning the skin afterwards she applied 24 carat gold hyaluronic acid serium, gently massaging it into my skin. Then a few minutes of LED red light therapy before applying the 24 carat gold collagen mask, which would give me 30 minutes to relax and dose off. After the mask was removed a 24 carat gold collagen moisturizer was applied over my skin with light strokes. Sitting up and looking in the mirror my face looked brighter with a nice glow and felt hydrated. Now I know how Cleopatra felt in the morning after sleeping in her gold mask. The Cleopatra Gold facial is perfect for antiaging by rejuvenating, hydrating and tightening the skin. Tri gave me the collagen mask to take home to use again the following evening to refresh the skin. As long as the mask remains moist it can be reused. I was excited to try out their new fat blaster equipment to see if it really works. I felt that my thighs could use some reduction. First the therapist took several measurements on my thighs and then asked me to lie face down. After she applied some massage oil she gave my thighs a vigorous massage to breakdown the cellulite. Then she ¿red up the Fat Cavitation System machine and began pressing the head down on my thigh and sliding it upwards. It began to warm up and I could feel some suction as it glided over my skin. It works with ultrasound cavitation and RF (radio frequency) to melt the fat with the infared and drode laser. The suction and roller helps move the melted fat towards the lymphatic drains to leave the body during the next three days. After the upwards movement she began sliding the head from side to side over my thighs. This was painfree and I drifted off.

After the treatment the therapist measured my thighs again and half an inch was gone. Amazing in just an hour, it really does work! The doctor explained that the process would continue working for three days of fat loss. They recommend a Body treatments include: laser hair removal, no needle package of three treatments mesotherapy for inch loss and cellulite, colon hydrotherapy, every three days for great infared sauna, vitamin IV and fat blaster.

BA Feature Article

The Money Men Indonesia’s banknotes provide a potted history of the country’s long struggle to throw off the yolk of colonialism. The pantheon of national heroes gracing the nation’s currency is an exclusively male club of freedom ¿ghters who took on formidable adversaries to remake the established order.

Rp1,000: Kapitan Pattimura (1783-1817) Bearing a machete on Indonesia’s Rp1,000 note is Ambonese resistance ¿ghter Thomas Matulessy. In 1810 the British seized the Malukus – the famed Spice Islands – from the Dutch in an extension of the Napoleonic Wars which had engulfed Europe. When the Dutch eventually returned to rule in 1817 under the terms of the peace treaty with the British, the Ambonese seized their chance for independence. No doubt encouraged by the pitiful resistance the Dutch had offered the British in 1810, Matulessy led a revolt on the island of Saparua attacking Sapa tthe fort where Holland’s new H Resident, J Johannes van d den Bergh, had been just installed. It was a in bloodbath. Of the blo garrison’s 378 of¿cers, 364 were killed along with the Resident himself. His 6-year-old son survived by Àeeing to the jungle where he was found starving and disheveled by the landing party of a Dutch frigate several months later. Matulessy attained cult status and was given the honorific name Pattimura meaning “young king” in Ambonese Malay. The Dutch eventually sent reinforcements, the short-lived revolt was quashed and Pattimura was hanged. Digni¿ed to the last, he was said to have offered his Dutch executioners at the gallows the familiar Indonesian salutation before departing: “Selamat tinggal, tuan-tuan” (“Goodbye, gentlemen”). President Suharto made him a National Hero of Indonesia in 1973.

Rp2,000: Pangeran Antasari (1809-1862) The Banjarmasin War (1859-1863) on the island of Kalimantan was part of a series of armed conÀicts in the late 19th century that attempted to consolidate Dutch colonial rule over the Indonesian archipelago. At issue was who would succeed the reigning sultan. The Dutch wanted the malleable Sultan Tamjid; the people wanted Prince Hidayat. Tamjid was next in line, but was unpopular with the people; he was a half-Chinese (on his mother’s side) and known to be fond of a drink. When the Dutch installed their man Tamjid following the death of the sultan in 1859 it sparked the Banjarmasin War. The rebellion was led by Antasari, a prince (pangeran) who amassed an army of 6,000 to wage war on the Dutch. Military and commercial interests were targeted, missionary stations attacked and Dutch vessels ¿red upon, including the warship Onrust whose sinking in late 1859 came as a rude awakening to the Dutch. The colonists tried to broker a peace deal with the prince in exchange for wealth and status, but Antasari would not be bought. He continued to foil the colonists until his death – from smallpox of all things – in late 1862. His son, father s Muhammad Seman, continued his father’s nst the Dutch, struggle against which only ended with Seman’s own death in 1905. Suharto made e Antasari a o National Hero in 1968.

Rp5,000: Tuanku Imam Bondjol (1772-1864) The name should ring a bell because it one of Denpasar’s main roads. In the early 19th century Tuanku Imam Bonjol (“Bondjol” as it appears on the bank note uses the old Indonesian spelling) was at the vanguard of an issue which is still at the heart of Indonesia today: the role and form of Islam in national life. Bonjol was a leader (tuanku) of the Padri movement, a group of Islamists from Sumatra who advocated Wahhabism, the form of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia that insists on a strict – many would say, austere – interpretation of the Quran. Pitted against the Padris were the Minangkabau, an ethnic group native to Sumatra. They were Muslims themselves, but their religious practice was overlaid with adat,

loc local customs pre-dating Islam pre in Indonesia, which the Padris w saw as unIslamic. When Is the t Padris tried to impose sharia in S Sumatra the Minangkabau Mi k b asked k d for f Dutch D t h protection t ti thus sparking the Padri War (1821-1834). Bonjol led the armed resistance against the Dutch, the ¿ghting eventually centering on Bonjol, an area in West Sumatra and birthplace of the Padri leader (hence his name). The Dutch besieged Bonjol, but the stronghold held out for three years before falling in 1837. Tuanku Imam Bonjol was captured by the Dutch and exiled, ¿rst to Java and ¿nally to Sulawesi where he lived until his death in 1864. Suharto made him a National Hero in 1968.

Rp10,000: Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II (1767-1852) In 1811, Java fell to the British thus beginning a three-year interregnum to Dutch rule before control was returned to the Netherlands in 1814 following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Once Java was taken the British eyed outlying areas, including the sultanate of Palembang which was rich in t w o commodities long coveted b y t h e colonists: pepper and tin. Under the e direction of Raffles of S i n g a p o r e , Britain attacked Palembang in 1812 in an attempt to bring it under control. But they faced a tough adversary in Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II who had already shown his anti-colonial zeal the year before by slaughtering the entire Dutch garrison at Palembang. The British instead tried to circumvent Badaruddin: after they attacked Palembang they sacked Badaruddin’s court and installed his younger brother and rival, the more pliable Sultan Ahmad Najamuddin. When the Dutch returned to rule they sent an expedition against Palembang in 1816, Najamuddin fell and was exiled to Jakarta thus paving the way for Badaruddin’s return. The Dutch dispatched an expedition against him in 1819, but Badaruddin managed to repel it. In 1821 the Dutch sent a larger force of some 4,000 soldiers who ¿nally managed to oust Badaruddin who was exiled to the island of Ternate in the Malukus. In 1823 the Dutch placed Palembang under their direct rule, but the resistance, inspired by Badaruddin’s ¿erce stand, continued for another two decades. Suharto made him a National Hero in 1984.

Rp20,000: Oto Iskandar Di Nata (18971945) It is often wondered of Indonesia how a nation of hundreds of different ethnic and linguistic groups manages to hold it all together. The country’s of¿cial motto is “Unity in Diversity” (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) and perhaps no member of Indonesia’s banknote club personi¿es that ideal better than Oto Iskandar Di Nata or “Otista”. Otista was ethnically Sundanese, a group of some 40 million Indonesians native to west Java and the country’s second largest ethnicity after the Javanese (100 million). In 1913 the Sundanese association Paguyuban Pasundan, which is still active today, was founded to promote the ethnicity’s cultural identity. Some within Paguyuban Pasundan advocated for a separate Sundanese homeland, but under Otista the group supported the preservation of Sundanese culture within the broader nationalist movement against the Dutch, a cause for which Otista had l o n g fought. He went on to become a minister off state in Presidentt Soekarno’s ¿rst government in 1945, but his tenure was short lived. In December that year he was kidnapped from his residence in Jakarta by a group calling itself Laskar Hitam (black brigade) and later executed. The group’s motives

By JFK Miller

remain unclear to this day though it is believed that Otista’s execution was part of a broader plan to destabilize Indonesia’s Àedging republican government. He was made a National Hero by Suharto in 1973.

Rp50,000: I Gusti Ngurah Rai (1917-1946) Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta (see below) declared Indonesia’s independence from colonial rule two days after the surrender of the occupying Japanese in August 1945. For the next four years local guerrilla forces battled to consolidate that declaration in an armed struggle against the Dutch who had returned to Indonesia after the fall of Japan to reinstate adm their pre-war colonial administration. T The armed r resistance i Bali to in resurgent D Dutch rule w was central to that struggle. Le Leading the local forces was Bali’s most famous son, I Gusti Ngurah Rai – after whom Denpasar airport is named – a career soldier born into a privileged aristocratic family. His commitment to the cause of Indonesian independence is epitomized in his last letter, before the decisive Battle of Marga near Tabanan in central Bali, in which he wrote: “Freedom or death”. Ngurah Rai must have known that the latter was the more likely outcome; by the time the Dutch had his forces pinned down at Marga they numbered 2,000 against Ngurah Rai’s illequipped contingent of less than a 100. Pummeled by land and air, Rai ordered a last ditch stand at Marga and died along with all of his men. The last thread of Balinese military resistance had been broken and Bali would not see the freedom for which Ngurah Rai had so passionately fought until the island was reunited into the republic four years later. Suharto made him a National Hero in 1975.

Rp100,000: Soekarno (1901-1970) and Mohammad Hatta (1902-1980) M o d e r n Indonesia’s founding fathers may seem an obvious choice for t h e country’s k t but b t they th were in i fact f t the th largest banknote, last of this group to be conferred National Hero status. Recognition was extremely unlikely under Suharto who had deposed Soekarno in the 1967 coup and kept him under house arrest for the rest of his life. But it would take a further 14 years from the fall of Suharto for Soekarno and Hatta to be accorded what many Indonesians saw and their rightful recognition; President Yudhoyono made them National Heroes in 2012. It was a joint award which recognized the indivisibility of their partnership, which is known in Indonesian as Dwi Tunggal, a local proverb that means the unity of two ¿gures.

Ubud Area UBUD NEWS FIND YOUR RHYTHM” DRUM CLASS Step inside the Satria Graha Ashram any Thursday afternoon and you’ll ¿nd yourself walking towards the sounds of Africa, and then bravely – or shyly, that’s okay – joining in. It’s a weekly drum circle, with many regulars and newcomers always welcome. Vibrant Javanese world percussionist, Catur Hari Wijaya, is a great teacher, having studied in Australia and Bali with some outstanding West African drum teachers, and more importantly he has enough passion and enthusiasm for the whole group. Recently back from a tour of Australian festivals and workshops, Catur somehow helps you capture the drummer inside you. Novices and experienced musicians welcome. 4-5.30pm. The ashram is down the lane opposite the big tree at the Nyuh Kuning football ¿eld, in Jalan Nyuh Kuning. HOW’S YOUR BACK, JACK? OK we’re all getting older, but did you know that people all the way from small children to the ¿fties and sixties could identify, prevent or begin to correct problems with their posture? Ubud Chiropractic Clinic offers regular free 15 minute scoliosis checks and prevention sessions at all their Bali clinics, and coordinator Dr Carli Axford says she feels these checks should be compulsory for everyone, especially children. Dr Carli says, “So much can be prevented if detected early. We are a society now that sits all day, our postures have changed and our bodies are not designed to this. We are stuck.” Posture checks help determine if there are blockages or pressure on nerves, what is moving and what is stuck in the body and if the nerves are Àowing freely to the muscles, joints and organs of the body.

NOT-JUST-YOGA BARN SPACE I get caught between a chuckle and a groan when my new visitors say they intend to spend all of their time at the Yoga Barn; the chuckle reÀects my delight that the Pappendek Bali Spirit team has built a world famous venue, the groan that I really should advise them about the myriad of other places to see and things to do. But truthfully, it’s a really great place to start, and not just for the yoga and other classes. A few years ago, Ubudians were bewailing the lack of “community space” – parklands, grassed areas, local spots where visitors could sit and relax, or toss a hoop, or safely watch their children run around. The Yoga Barn’s healing, teaching and eating areas are expanding all the time, and they have accommodation now too. But their most important contributions to Ubud are the several community spaces scattered around the property. I recommend a ramble around all the levels and gardens, for every newcomer and also the chuckling, groaning expats; if you haven’t been there for a while, you’ll be delighted. COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS I needed to get rid of a rash, with ointment prescribed by the doctor, so I took his prescription for four tiny little tubes to Kimia Farma in Jl Raya Peliatan. The name brand for one tube was 120,000rp, but when I expressed surprise at the price, the pharmacist offered another brand, with the same ingredients. The total cost was less than 40,000rp for four, so it’s worth asking if there is a cheaper version before you hand over the cash.

BCRC provides workshops and drop in sessions for children to use recycled materials as a creative and valuable resource in learning and the arts. The process encourages creative thinking in other areas, and so leads to understanding the process of innovation - designing, testing, and introducing a new idea. BCRC is now expanding to a new location, to become a training center for teachers. Future goals include: building a free local school using all recycled materials; providing a teaching model and resources for teachers across Indonesia and globally; continuing R&D and expansion of their progressive programs.

Ubud Food Festival launches June 5 – 7 The extraordinary culinary diversity of the world’s largest archipelagic nation will be showcased in a brand new concept d e s c e n d i n g o n B a l i ’s cultural capital: the muchanticipated Ubud Food Festival (UFF). A sibling Festival of Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF), the UFF will kick off a threeday culinary adventure from 5 - 7 June, serving up a program rich in food mythology, authenticity and of course, taste. Bringing together some of Indonesia’s culinary greats, international chefs bringing their unique style of foodfusion to the archipelago a n d i n d u s t r y heavyweights in Southeast Asia and beyond, the UFF is set to delight and inspire both participants and audiences alike. The program will feature a range of ticketed and free events, spanning Cooking Demonstrations, Workshops, Food Forums (panel talks), Markets, Food Tours, Wine Tastings, Film Screenings and much, much more. Heading the line-up are the stars of Indonesian culinary landscape including global icon Sri Owen, sponsored in partnership with Garuda UK, TV personalities Bara Pattiradjawane and Bondan Winarno, cult hero Rahung Nasution, head-chef of acclaimed restaurant Teatro, Mandif Warokka, and culinary expert William Wongso.

From the bursting Bali food scene comes Room4Dessert’s Will Goldfarb, Mozaic’s Chris Salans and Locavore’s Eelke Plasmeijer, El Bulli-trained chef Kevin Cherkas of Cuca, as well as some of island’s ¿nest ¿ne-dining establishments including Hujan Locale, Bridges and Fiveelements. The UFF will also bring together industry heavyweights working in Southeast Asia and the globe. With their restaurants recently named in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Australian BBQ fanatic Dave Pynt and former head-chef of Melbourne’s Vue de Monde Ryan Clift will be bringing their expertise to the table, along with one of the world’s most celebrated pastry chefs, Janice Wong and Malaysia’s acclaimed Chef Wan. Founder and Director of the UFF, Janet DeNeefe, said she is delighted to ¿nally be bringing the long-awaited Festival to Indonesia, which she hopes will shine a spotlight on the incredible diversity and richness of cuisine and culture the country has to offer. “We’ve been wanting to launch a food festival for even longer than we’ve been running the UWRF, which celebrates its 12th birthday this year. I can’t wait to see the amazing talent of the culinary community come to life and take form”. DeNeefe says it’s not just about tasting different cuisines, however, but understanding food in all its forms, and the journey from the supplier to the plate. “As well as just showcasing great food, the UFF is about taking a journey, to understand its past, present and future. We also want to strengthen linkages within the local and international culinary community, cementing Indonesia as one of the best food destinations in the world”. Hungry yet?

Restaurant Review

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

Il Classico! Il Lido is found at what has been the restaurant Warisan for the past 25 years. Now under the management of Beppe de Vito, a household name in Singapore amongst the gourmands of that island. Warisan is an integral part of Bali’s food history. Initially surrounded by rice paddies, a lone building in the ‘country’, it offered the first quality food option at a stand alone restaurant outside of the major hotels. Warisan began life as an Italian restaurant, it then went Vietnamese for a time before making its name with French cuisine. Now the cycle has been completed and it is once again Italian, and very fine dining! Beppe de Vito came of age, so to speak, as the chef of the multi award winning Garibaldi in Singapore before branching out on his own with Il Lido at Sentosa Island. Since then more restaurants have been added to his Singapore chain; Latteria, Southbridge and Sons, with more to come soon. Now Il Lido Bali has been added to this ever growing successful group. Classic Italian dining, with modern interpretations is the best way to describe Beppe’s food. As with all great Italian restaurants world-wide, the essence is to begin with the best quality fresh ingredients, sometimes a difficult task here in Bali. Start with Calamari? Why is it that Italians can always cook squid correctly, and virtually no one else can? At Il Lido it is crunchy but still tender baby calamari, a plate of little black rings as it has been cooked in a mayonnaise of squid ink. Octopus with Nudja [an Italian pork sausage, nicely spicy] is also a great entrée, as is Scallops in a lobster sauce, covered with young crisp asparagus spears. Staying with seafood starters there are also Crab Cakes with a cream of avocado and Tuna Tartar which is with tomato caviar and beetroot. Then for the big spenders, you can order Sevruga Caviar with angel hair pasta. Pork Loin is thinly sliced and tossed with a salad of apple and truffles. The Carpaccio is thinly sliced Wagyu beef, also with those crunchy spears of young asparagus, it is an incredibly delicate dish. The Foie Gras is roasted with butternut and shallots. Jamon Iberico de Bellota is stolen from Spain, that incredible ham that is made in a long process using only black Iberian pigs that have been fed a lifetime diet of acorns. All the entrees here are best ordered in a group, slowly

tasting the variety of combinations, one by one. There are also a selection of vegetarian options, including Eggs with crisp whites and a mushroom cacciatore, a simple salad of Grilled Peppers, capers and mozzarella or Zucchini Flowers with smoked Scarmorza [an Italian cheese made from cow’s milk] but the highlight was definitely their Gnocchi Pumpkin Gratin, the pasta actually served in a hollowed out pumpkin base. But then in any quality Italian restaurant you automatically expect quality pasta, al dente, and that is what you get at Il Lido. Other pasta dishes include perfect Beef Agnolotti that has been stuffed with a mix of mushrooms and gorgonzola, Spaghetti Seafood tossed with clams, etc. The Tagliatelle is with quail ragu and smoked ricotta and the Ravioli has been filled with truffle cheese and drizzled with veal jus. Ossobuco is an essential component of any good Italian menu. The veal shank is served at Il Lido with a saffron risotto. Italian chefs all around the world have often kept a perfect bone slice from an Ossobuco and after removing the marrow [eating it of course] it serves as a toggle for the mandatory white linen scarf which they wear around their neck. The Duck Trio [pictured] comprises a crisp leg confit, tender smoked breast meat [perfectly pink] and foie gras. This dish is worth the visit alone! The Tenderloin of Beef is from the Black Angus, served with a crust of bone marrow, and the Wagyu is done Tagliata style [sliced] tossed with truffled potatoes and asparagus. The Veal Milanese causes a stir on its arrival, so big it is virtually American style, the ends almost hanging off the plate. Crumbed, it is not unlike a Schnitzel from Vienna and as with that dish you squeeze lemon juice across the meat.

Dessert is the time for a couple of Italian specials. Tiramisu is probably one of the most abused dishes as offered in restaurants, both Italian and others, sometimes not much more than a sloppy mess. Here it has the most perfect consistency, firm but moist, and that flavour! Sabayon, or Zablagione as I have always known it, is another Italian special, so sweet but oh so good. Cheese Platters can be a disaster in Bali but this one is very good with quite a selection of cheeses. Quality fine dining in one of the most elegant but relaxed settings in Bali. Beppe de Vito, welcome to Bali!

Update Happy Chappy has now opened on Jln. Braban in Kerobokan. The name suggests a happy place and that is what it is. A long narrow buiding, quite a sensational design! The cuisine is simple Chinese, basically Cantonese, but of the highest quality and at reasonable prices. The management has done it all before! Max Kerthyasa [Biku] and David Kearns [Ibah, The Villas, Sentosa and Sarong] are heading the project, so success is guaranteed. In the kitchen is the full crew from the well known Chinese restaurant at Jakarta’s Four Seasons Hotel [now closed for a total renovation]. Joining them is experienced chef Bill Collyer now taking a F&B role, sourcing product and overseeing quality control. Get ready for DimSum Sundays [purchased via trolleys straight from the kitchen, in traditional Cantonese style] but Dim Sum can already be ordered from the normal a la carte menu. Dim Sum originated as being small Cantonese snacks taken whilst tasting tea [yum cha]. At Happy Chappy you can enjoy Steamed Dumplings, stuffed with pork, prawn or chicken. Prawn Gow Gee, Steamed Buns [pictured] filled with BBQ Pork, BBQ Beef, Peking Duck or Red Bean paste. There are also classic, almost old fashioned but still great, Cantonese entrees including Sesame Prawn Toast, King Prawn Cutlets, Mini Spring Rolls [filled with chicken, prawn, duck or vegetables], the wonderful San Choy Bow [minced meat wrapped in crisp lettuce leaf and doused with sauce] and that very Australian Chinese concoction of Chicken and Ham Roll. Mains include Mongolian Lamb, Lemon or Cashew Chicken, Honey Prawns, Szechuan Beef, BBQ Pork Ribs with plum sauce or Sweet and Sour Pork. It is impossible to present real Chinese food without pork products, so why some places insist on doing it Halal, in Bali, amazes me. No such problem at Happy Chappy. What do you finish with? Fried ice cream of course! And a few drinks at the Dragon’s Den Bar. Air-con and plenty of parking, what else could you want? Happy Chappy could turn out to be the ‘Find of 2015’. Pit Stop was once a small late night snack bar in central Petitenget, not much more than a hole in the wall. It has now been relocated. Pit Stop is still to be found on Jln. Petitenget, but the new address is just before the self-named Lio Square, and in slightly larger premises. It is spread over two levels and the small upstairs balcony proves to be the most popular. Pit Stop has joined Bali’s Burger Revolution [or perhaps they started it years ago with those late night snacks], and they do it very well with quite a range on offer; traditional beef or chicken but also a fish burger and a rare lamb and rosemary.

Warung Enak does a Rijsttafel and for my money it is the best value one in Bali. Rijsttafel was a traditional Dutch meal representing the best of Indonesian cuisine, back when Indonesia was a Dutch colony. I dislike the way it is traditionally served with 20 or so dishes laid out on an adjoining table, all getting cold if they did not already start that way. For me that lazy method is very boring and tasteless. At Warung Enak they present the 18 different dishes in 4 comfortable stages [the menu is a little confusing as it refers to it as 4 courses when in fact it is 18 dishes presented in four different groups, with a sensible resting time in between]. First is the selection of entrees, then a soup, followed by the mains and finally, desserts. As an added bonus, and virtually ignored at all other restaurants, each dish is carefully explained by the waitress. At Rp. 210,000++ p.p. this must be the best value meal available in Bali. Whilst I also like many of the standard dishes at Warung Enak there is one that I can never resist. It is their Asinan Jakarta [a mixture of yam bean, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and tofu, tossed with Carambola vinaigrette and served in a crunchy little bird’s nest of fried egg noodles]. I am certainly no vegetarian but I cannot visit Enak without ordering this dish! Over the years I have often taken Jakarta based friends to try this dish, they like it so much their invariable response has always been…why can’t we get this dish as good in Jakarta? It is no wonder that Chef Rai and her kitchen crew have won the Indonesian section of so many Bali cooking competitions over the past 10 years, their attention to detail and marks for perfect hygiene often making the difference. That also explains the popularity of the Warung Enak cooking classes, even Michelin Guide chefs from Europe have attended them and applauded. Warung Enak, in Pengosetan, south of Ubud, is well known for its unusual Made Wijaya pastel shaded Indian Hindu design, the ‘naughty monkeys’ that hang suspended amuse everyone! 2RM Nonya Fusion is a bit of a mystery. Up on the Bukit at Ungasan it is smart and clean, quite inviting. Nonya cuisine originated in Malacca, Malaysia. There the then local cuisine became fused with traditional Chinese. It is already a ‘fusion’ food so the name mystifies. Rendang is pure Padang, so hardly Nonya but they do have some good curry dishes which are. Still it is a pleasant small good value place offering honest food, though sadly hung-up on the Trip Advisor trip [‘thank you Mary for your wonderful comments’ almost sickly!] all from visitors with zero previous reviews so what shall we say, prompted? Still they are not the only misguided Bali restaurateur to do this, even a few 5 star hotels who should know better do the same. Kalimantan Café has long been a favourite haunt of local expats and regular tourists in Sanur. Opened back in 1989, when there were only 8 other stand-alone restaurants in that area. Sanur was then also at the forefront of the then fledgling tourist market. Kalimantan Café is a true survivor. Simple and rustic, its giant wantilan is set amongst many trees and aviaries on Jln. Pantai Sindhu, very relaxing. Breakfast is varied; American Corned Beef Hash, Mexican Huevos Rancheros, Nasi Goreng if you wish or the very international Bacon & Eggs. All day meals include Indonesian Ayam Goreng [with sambal as fiery as you want] or Balinese Babi Kecap, Chinese Foo Yung Hai topped with a sweet and sour sauce, a soft version of Mexican Tacos with very spicy salsa if you so desire, an American Reuben on rye or classic Roast Beef [sometimes even rare] but packed, multi-sliced American style, between slabs of rye bread with the wonderful, and very English, horseradish sauce. It is all very simple, and at budget prices, at this eating and drinking house. The American owner who is affectionately known to the local expats as ‘Borneo Bob’ oversees the operation from his seat at the bar, day and night. Perhaps that is the secret to its success. Saigon Saveurs

was once a Vetnamese restaurant located above the Bintang Supermarket in Tjampuhan [that area is now an Adam Gym] but it was subsequently relocated, and downsized to café style, joining a small string of complementing eateries at Bali Wood food complex in Sayan [adjoining and forming a part of The Mansions]. Highlight here is that wonderful unique Vietnamese Pho, beef noodle soup. Gerry Williams For more information see our website: www.balieats.com

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

The Shallow Seas by Dawn Farnham In this second book in Dawn Farnham’s popular historical romance series, Charlotte Macleod is 19, pregnant and alone in Singapore in 1842. She has just Àed a scandalous liaison with her married Chinese lover, a liaison that could bring ruin on him, herself and her brother, Robert, the police chief of the British colony. When Tigran Manouk, forty and the richest merchant in Batavia, asks for her hand in marriage, the choice is no choice. Without giving away the whole plot, which is slow in developing, this thoroughly enjoyable book can be put in the general category of the rest of Farnham’s historical novels, i.e. “romances with Asian male lovers,” with spicy servings of exoticism and intense erotic lovemaking bordering on prose found in a raunchy potboiler. The colorful mixture of characters from a number of different nationalities, their quirks, their thirst for adventure and their willingness to take risks grab ahold of you early on and keep you turning the pages to ¿nd out what is going to happen next. No novel is perfect. The number and frequency of new characters being introduced, their relationship with the main protagonists, the text occasionally getting bogged down and overly wordy and the storyline appearing to go off on a tangent can be confusing. But on the whole the characters are powerfully developed and very real. With all her secrets, Charlotte is perhaps the most frustrating character. Through loss and pain, she has to ¿nd a way to make a life with a man she does not love in a town she does not understand. Until she returns to Singapore where the one she truly loves waits for her, she will face the hardest decision of her life. Tigran is an intriguing character; the reader must patiently wait for his love to be reciprocated. Charlotte’s deepening affection for Tigran, her sadness at the choice she has to make, her love for Zhen, her descent into addiction, the happiness that eventually ensues towards the end of the book is gripping and at times overwhelms the reader. The story is all the more engrossing if you live in this corner of Southeast Asia. For me, the most memorable parts of this historical novel are its realistic portrayals of the history, geography and culture of an era rather than the story of Charlotte. Though the rollicking love saga is very readable, even more compelling is the tactile feel, the socio-economic nuances and historically accurate physical details that the writer provides – all immaculately researched. Her elaborate and fascinating descriptions of mid-19th C. Singapore, Java and Old Batavia transport us back to a time that has vanished forever. An indication that the writer is serious about conveying historical verisimilitude is the six-page glossary of Dutch, Malay, Chinese and Indian terms, some quite obscure. The story ¿rst presents a vividly atmospheric picture of the social mores and cultural past times of the nascent settlement of Singapore’s English colonialists, Chinese coolies, Malays and Indians and how all the races intermingled in the 19th Century during the port’s colorful and often wild early days when piracy, crime, triads and roaming tigers were commonplace, before it became the thriving city-state and major economic power it is today.

I particularly liked the writer’s evocative and skillful verbal sketches of Batavia (now Jakarta), the former capital of Dutch East Indies. The attractive and idyllic picture of the graceful old city she describes in the 1840s is virtually indistinguishable from the cacophonous megapolis of today. The only physical traces left of that era is decaying Kota Tua (Old City), left in a decrepit state without any wherewithal or desire to preserve it. Author Dawn Farnham’s oeuvre are historical romances set in Southeast Asia. The Shallow Seas is one of four volumes that follow the main characters Charlotte and Zhen. The other three are The Hills of Singapore: A Landscape of Loss, Longing and Love; The Red Thread: A Chinese Tale of Love and Fate in 1830s Singapore; The English Concubine: Passion and Power in 1860s Singapore. To fully appreciate the story, the whole Strait Quartet series should be read from the beginning. Dawn Farnham (www.dawnfarnham.com) has a led a remarkable and adventurous life that even some of her fictional characters would envy. She was born in Portsmouth, England in 1949. Her parents emigrated to Perth when she was two. She grew up a sandgroper (a native inhabitant of Western Australia), barefoot and free, roaming the bushy suburbs and beaches. Like so many other young Aussies before her, at age 17 she left on a ship for London in the 1960s. There she met and married her journalist husband and moved to Paris, learned French and travelled around Europe in a Volkswagen beetle. As a foreign correspondent, her husband was posted to exotic locations: China, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan in the eighties and nineties, prolonged sojourns during which she raised two daughters and taught English. Back in London, Farnham returned to school, earned a B.A. in Japanese at The School of Oriental and African Studies and a Master’s Degree at Kings College. She and her husband now live in Singapore where the writer works as a volunteer guide at the Peranakan Museum and the Asian Civilizations Museum.

In Farnham’s tale of multiple characters, both Asian and Western, hailing from different walks of life, all enmeshed within an impossible and tumultuous love affair between a half-breed Scotswoman and a Chinese coolie that doesn’t end in a ¿nal reunion until several children and marriages later, she has managed to combine her research and encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the region and create a spellbinding and well-written novel.

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) By Ayu Spicy Cauliflower seems to be the new ‘in’ low fat snack food. A recipe for Cauliflower Popcorn inspired this combination with broccoli. I serve it as a side dish but you could snack on it as well as it’s tasty both hot or cold. The flavor can be as varied as popcorn with cinnamon, or with herbs such as thyme, sage, or basil or if you are lucky enough to have it, a sprinkling of truffle oil.

Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli Serves 2-3

Ingredients: - 1 1/2 cup cauliflower, broken into tiny florets - a hair bigger than popcorn - 1 1/2 cup broccoli, also broken into tiny florets - 2 tsp. Mexican chili powder - 2 tsp. ground toasted cumin seed - salt and pepper to taste - 2 Tbl. olive oil

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl mix the cauliflower pieces with 1 tsp. of the Mexican chili powder, 1 tsp. of the ground toasted cumin, salt and pepper. Toss this until the seasoning is well distributed. Sprinkle 1 Tbl. of the olive oil evenly over the cauliflower and toss again to evenly coat the pieces. Spread the pieces out on a baking sheet in one layer. Now do the same with the broccoli pieces and the remaining seasonings and oil, spreading in one layer on a separate baking sheet.

C/G/G-4 Feb. 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. It’s important that the oven be fully hot or the broccoli will lose its green color and the vegetables will become limp instead of crisp. To serve put the two vegetables side by side in an interesting design on the serving plate and serve. Enjoy your meal!

All recipes are available on the Bali Advertiser website in both English and Indonesian versions. You can easily copy and paste and print. Paste as unformatted text. Copyright © 2015 Ayu Spicy You can read all past articles of Food Glorious Food at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz C/G/G-27 May 15

GARDEN DOCTOR

UD. TENAGA BARU hotel bed & bath supplies

by Dr. Kris

We supply: • Towels • Bed Linen • Pillows • Mattress

Beware of Pricks in the Garden ‘Hi Dr. Kris, Last month while I was doing some casual weeding in the garden, I got pricked by a rose thorn that turned into a nasty infection after a few days and I ended up on antibiotics and had a precautionary tetanus shot as advised by the doc. I didn’t realise that the common rosebush could be poisonous! Are all thorny plants dangerous? Are there any other common plants that I should be wary of when in the garden, or is this just a tropical climate thing? I love gardening but I don’t want to get any more nasty infections. Thanks in advance for your advice? ’Alex.’ Spikes, thorns and pricks all hurt so to that extent I would say that all thorny plants are in fact dangerous. Some people have even been known to plant out their boundaries with an abundance of spiny plants, like some sort of natural barbed wire to deter thieves, and after reading on you’ll see why. An encounter with a rose thorn can result in anything from a minor annoyance to a serious illness, even death! Your experience reinforces the importance of wearing appropriate clothing whilst gardening. When dealing with spiky plants such as roses, bougainvillea, cactus gloves and a long shirt are a must. In saying that, I too have fallen victim to a nasty rose thorn wound to the thumb when pulling weeds from around the base of a rose bush, because weeds are much easier to pull without gloves on, and we all know that we should wear them but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we do. Rose thorn wounds are de¿nitely not an innocuous scratch and should be treated seriously, despite what others would have you think. Rose thorns have caused plenty of cases of tetanus, blood poisoning and other types of infections that can lead to death. Sadly, cases where a rose thorn has caused death is more common than you would care to imagine. There are many varieties of bacteria and fungus that will live on rose thorns, and then when you get spiked you are basically injecting it deep under the skin. Deep puncture wounds will also be devoid of oxygen allowing the pathogens to thrive. Wounds are usually on the extremities such as the hands and feet giving the infection a better chance to become established. Some types of infection are so prevalent that the rose bush even has its own disease named after it! Rose thorn disease otherwise known as Rose Sporotrichosis is caused by the infection of the fungus Sporothrix, which is found naturally on rose bushes, hay, sphagnum moss and in the soil, The disease has many complications which can lead to chronic illness and death. It can cause infection, redness, swelling and open ulcers at the puncture site. The fungus can spread to the lymphatic system and move on to the joints and bones, where it ends up attacking the central nervous system and lungs when the thorn or thorns are deeply embedded. In veterinary medicine it is most commonly seen in cats and horses. In terms of other spiky thorny plants I would simply suggest to just beware of all pricks! Bougainvillea and Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii) are other

common garden plant whose spines and thorns can make you sick, mostly due to the method of delivery of the bacteria or fungus, through injection deep under the skin. Aside from the pricks, all plants with milky sap have to be treated with care and caution. Some examples that are very common in the home garden are frangipani, euphorbia and oleander. Frangipani is related to the oleander and both possess a poisonous, milky sap, which is similar to that of euphorbia. When trimming all of these plants be very careful not to let any of the sap come into contact with your eyes or skin. Many people do not know that the milky sap that comes out of frangipani is toxic to humans and animals. If you propagate from cutting then you should always wear protective eyewear and make sure children or pets are not within the vicinity. Frangipani sap can cause temporary blindness, and is also likely to cause skin irritation, burning, itching, rashes and allergy. It is not always easy to know which plants have toxic sap and which don’t. Personally, I would avoid any plant saps on my skin, eyes or mouth.

Soil in fact could be the biggest danger in your garden. A few years ago I had a tiny scratch turn septic within a matter of hours whilst digging a hole here in Bali. One stinking hot afternoon, whilst digging out a raphis palm to transfer to a new location I grazed my hand on a small rock and the fresh wound came into contact with the wet soil. Within hours the cut had turned septic. Seriously this was a tiny scratch on my index ¿nger to begin with, but later that night I awoke to ¿nd that my ¿nger had become painfully swollen so much that I could no longer bend it, and the swelling extended into most of my hand which had puffed up like a small balloon. The ‘tiny cut’ had seemed to have grown into a mini volcano now oozing puss out of the crater rim. It had progressed from a scratch to septic in a matter of hours. Despite the fact that it was 1am I went to the nearest medical centre because this was obviously serious. I was put on some powerful antibiotics immediately and the infection started to improve by the next day, but in those early moments when I awoke and before I got to the hospital I was in serious fear of losing my ¿nger, I was just lucky that I had it seen to immediately.

The moral of the story - Always wear gloves in the garden, especially when handling soil, or dealing with toxic plants. If pruning overhead wear protective eye wear. Never use your gloves to wipe your eyes. It is helpful if you can identify toxic plants or plants that are likely to cause allergic reactions growing in the garden, so that you can provide a safer environment for all of those who come to visit. Do some further research on your own garden, because plants with toxic properties are many more than I can reasonably cover here.

“Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink” It is said that in parts of Africa tribesmen have a clever way of trapping baboons. They take a coconut and cut a small hole in it large enough for a baboon to insert its hand. Inside the coconut they place a walnut and they fasten the coconut to a tree. A baboon comes along and puts its hand into the coconut to get the walnut but, while holding the nut, it cannot extract its hand. The baboon is doomed, through greed or stupidity (or probably both) the baboon will not let go of the walnut and so cannot escape. There have been many versions of the story over the years, this is the one I heard over 40 years ago, but the message is still the same. Here in Bali there has been an epidemic of humungous proportions in recent years. No one seems to know where the disease came from and it has been unrecognised until fairly recently but it has taken a firm hold and is now disastrously affecting everyone’s lives. I am, of course, talking about HIV. Hotel Insanity Virus is taking a terrible toll on an infrastructure already creaking under the strain. In 2001 there were around 550 hotels and 1.35 million foreign visitors to Bali, in 2015 it is estimated there are over 3,000 hotels not to mention thousands of private villas and expected foreign visitors of 4.3 million. The roads are turning into car parks, electricity supply can’t cope, Bali is drowning under garbage, hotel occupancy rates are falling (64.52% in 2011, 46.02% so far for 2015) and price wars have (I am reliably informed) resulted in room rates in starred hotels falling as much as $40 per night below market rates. Already a major player in the industry has abandoned 2 new hotels which are up for sale. The hotel industry is in self destruct. The tourism target is 30 million by 2029. The walnut is firmly in the baboons hand and, in spite of appeals for sanity from the governor and other senior tourism figures, the baboons are not letting go of their nuts. In all this mess probably one of the most serious consequences we are facing is the most basic but essential need - water. Bali is facing a major water crisis, there simply isn’t enough. It is being pumped out of the ground a lot faster than it can be replenished. PDAM, the government water supply company, is not able to keep up with demand to supply piped water and those many people on the island that get their water from bores are sucking up so much that sea water is being drawn into the water tables and is progressing further and further inland. The worst offenders for sucking water out of the ground are, as we might expect, the hotels who, in their ever increasing demand for water are drilling bores deeper and deeper. It is also reported that the more prestigious the hotel the more water they use. The construction of a sewerage system in the southern part of Bali is considered progress from a hygiene point of view. Unfortunately it has negative consequences for the state of the water table. The water we use in our houses (much of which is pumped out of the water table) runs into the sewer and eventually to the sea. Before the sewerage system was built most of our waste water went to our septic tanks and back into the water table. Once contaminated by sea water the water table cannot be cleaned out. Irrigating the land using saline water is a common cause of desertification as many West Australian farmers know only too well after they cut down all the trees. Most people don’t give it a second thought, we don’t even notice it but when (as I do) you see steel water tanks and pipes rusting away as a result of chlorides, sea water contamination of the ground water and houses starting to crumble away from salt laden rising damp you start to understand what the fuss is about and believe me it is closer to home and far more serious than most of us realise. Into the future where will we find water? Desalination is perhaps an option but removing salt from water is not easy. We can use distillation in which the water is evaporated into steam then condensed back into water. We can also use Reverse Osmosis in which the water is pumped under high pressure through a membrane. Both are expensive processes both in terms of equipment and energy. For more information you can contact the IDEP Foundation who have joined forces with Universitas Politeknik Negeri Bali and have started the “Bali Water Protection Program”. I am sure they would appreciate any support or help they can get. You can contact IDEP through their website at www. idepfoundation.org The water crisis is, however, something we are all part of and we can all help in the solution by taking four simple inexpensive steps. 1. Reduce how much water we are using

The first question is how much water are you using. It is assumed that in Bali the water consumption is 183 litres per person per day. It is estimated that in starred hotels each occupied room consumes 2,000 litres per day. You can go to the water calculator you will find at www. mrfixitbali.com/water-usage-calculator.html to check how much your household is using. This will give you a breakdown of where you use water and so you can work out what you might do to reduce your consumption (take particular note of your swimming pool usage). 2. Plant trees It is well recognised that trees improve the ability for the ground to absorb and retain moisture. Serious salination in Western Australia has been caused by removing the tree cover. 3. Get as much of the water around your property back into the ground. The best defence is to allow as much non saline water (rainwater) to enter the water table in the fresh water zone and so keep the progress of saline sea water at bay. A large proportion of land area in Australia’s cities is covered by roads, car parks, pavements and buildings. Drainage systems, flood drains, subaks and rivers collect much of our fresh rainwater and carry it directly to the sea preventing it from sinking into the ground and so bypassing the water table beneath. 4. Install a soak pit To get the water back into the ground you can install a catchment well or soak pit (locally known as a “resapan”). A soak pit is a reverse well, a hole in the ground we put water into so it can seep away into the ground. You can download an engineering drawing at: www.mrfixitbali. com/images/mrfixit-soak-pit.gif. NOTE that if the water is clean rainwater you do not need the filtration materials. An easily and cheaply built soak pit can be built by digging a hole in the ground and lining it using 1 metre diameter concrete rings. Depth is often about 3 metres although, of course, this depends on the ground. The soak pit needs to be deep enough to get into permeable ground so the water can soak away. The soak pit can have a concrete top on it and so the pit can be buried.

We can consider rainwater as pure water and we get it in large volumes so the soak pit can be a simple 1 metre diameter empty pipe able to hold as much water as possible. If one soak pit isn’t enough you can consider installing several. Simple drainage can collect the rainwater from your property and direct it to the soak pit. You can also return lightly contaminated water, such as grey water from washing machines, washbasins and showers to the water table by sending it to a soak pit with filtration materials installed. To make a soak pit with filtration we can fill the bottom 1.5 metres of the pit with layers of filtration materials. The design I give you here has four layers as follows: a. The bottom is filled with 80 cm of batu kosong (loose stones). b. On top of this we have a 20 cm layer of pasir (sand). c. On top of this a 20 cm layer of lapisan ijuk (coconut fibre as used for temple roofs). d. A final 30 cm layer of kerikil (coral stone). It goes without saying that you must NEVER put unprocessed sewage into a soak pit, it MUST go into a properly designed septic tank or into the government sewer. You might think there isn’t enough space on your property to install a soak pit but you can always install one underneath the floor of your house. The pit can be buried although it is a good idea to have an access manhole in the unlikely event that it needs maintenance such as blocked filtration layers. Most of us live on land that was formerly rice fields and rice fields are lined with clay to hold water. Much of the developed part of Bali is on the flood plain between Sanur and Seminyak, an area where ricefields overlay sediments and (close to the beaches) sand. In former rice fields it is important to dig through the layer of clay so the water will soak away into the water table. 5. And finally we can try to persuade the baboons to let go of their nuts Phil Wilson Opinions are those of Phil Wilson.

SOCIAL MEDIA BYTES BY : LIZ AFAIK

SOCIAL MEDIA AND DISASTER RESPONSE Right after the ¿rst earthquake in Nepal, I was surprised to see a message come up on my Facebook newsfeed that my friend Martyn – who was meant to be in India was actually in Nepal, but that he was safe. The message was displayed courtesy of a new application that allows a person to notify all their Facebook contacts if they are in a natural disaster zone and advises of their condition. Shortly after, Martyn posted his ¿rst update since the quake: he was ‘OK and safe and well although incredibly shaken.’ He was worried about friends in Nepal, particularly a Sherpa friend who had been at Everest Base Camp. As Martyn heard the ¿rst reports of the avalanches on the mountain, he feared his friend might have been killed. The day after the quake, after reading updates on social media, he posted on Facebook that his Sherpa friend was alive and well. Martyn, reaching out only through social media, was featured twice in newspaper articles in his home country of New Zealand, in the days following the earthquakes. Author and blogger Amy Sample Ward says people are increasingly turning to social media in times of crisis and that ‘real-time communication, especially during times of crisis, is the wave of the future.’ “The convergence of social networks and mobile has thrown the old response playbook out the window,” said Michael Beckerman, president and CEO of the Internet Association, in 2013. Ward, who writes about technologies that connect communities, said in a blog post there are three main reasons why people turn to social media during and after a natural disaster. 1) Bandwidth: if people have limited time or internet access, or phone service is not available, they can still spread a message to huge numbers of people via social media 2) Response: the role of social media is to help people engage with each other and individuals in a disaster area can feel heard and supported quickly by posting on social media and having people respond to their messages 3) Power: individuals can feel that their personal stories and posts about conditions on the ground are alerting the news media, relief organizations and government agencies, often changing the conversation happening on social media and altering the course of response Ward wrote about the role that social media played in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. “Volunteers stepped up to translate text messages, people who have never visited Haiti or knew anyone there started tagging photos to ¿nd missing persons,” Ward said, “It’s incredibly important for organizations and responders to remember that just as those in need turn to the networks for help, you can also turn to the networks to help you respond.” Social media allows communities in affected areas to re-form quickly and offer support and urgent care to individuals who need help. Often, local communities and local agencies are the ¿rst life-line for people affected by a disaster, long before relief and government agencies can respond. Using social media, local communities can organize services, volunteers, medical care or food delivery, trace missing persons, reunite families and arrange for housing. Relief organizations working in Haiti began using Short Message Service (SMS) and the Web to deliver status reports and area mapping, said Ward. The agencies turned to social media platforms — such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube — to ask for donations and fundraising for the victims and tell the stories of those in need. Within days of the event, all the major relief organizations had set up Facebook pages dedicated to their Haiti relief efforts. The Red Cross launched a mobile app that let people volunteer and donate via their mobile phones. Facebook has recently launched several pioneering disaster response services, including the Disaster Alert function for individuals that Martyn used. The social

media site has set up a new Facebook page, called Disaster Response, which ‘spotlights efforts on Facebook to help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from natural disasters around the globe’. In March 2015, Facebook published a digital book of tips on how people could use their site in a disaster. The book is available for free and shares tips and best practices for everyone, from individuals to government agencies, on how to most effectively use Facebook before, during and after a disaster. The book contains advice on using a range of Facebook tools, such as setting up a Facebook Page, writing the most effective posts, adding video and photos to posts, setting up a Facebook Group for internal co ordination or organizing volunteers, notifying followers of events or fundraisers and using disaster-related ‘hash tags’, which highlight disaster-related Pages and news. The ¿rst part of the book is addressed to response and relief organizations, the second part of the book is for key responders and government agencies, while the last section is aimed at individuals and communities. The microblogging site, Twitter, is well suited for use in emergencies and disasters, as people in the affected area can upload photos and post Tweets (or Twitter posts) quickly that provide real-time conditions on the ground. The information posted can be more speci¿c and accurate than of¿cial reports from relief or governmental agencies, which may not even have reached the affected areas yet. However, as Ariel Gilbert-Knight wrote in a Guardian article in 2013, “there is such a thing as too much information.’ The sheer volume of information streaming out onto social media can be overwhelming and dif¿cult to sort through. For example, wrote Gilbert-Knight, citing the 20 million tweets sent in the week after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the Eastern United States, how do you sort out all this information and make coherent sense of it so you accurately understand the situation? According to Gilbert-Knight, ‘a set of innovative microtasking applications may help relief organizations make sense of social media data in these situations. These MicroMappers apps help volunteers identify and map useful social media data by breaking down larger, more complicated analytical tasks into small, easily completed microtasks.’ The name MicroMappers is derived from the terms ‘microtasking’ and ‘crisis mappers.’ Micro tasking is what happens when scientists or organizations ask the general public to contribute to a project by each making a small contribution, or ‘microtask.’ These tasks can consist of tagging or cataloguing images or assessing information. The advantage of ‘microtasking’ is that people with little or no specialized training and only a small amount of time can participate. When thousands of people join in a ‘microtasking’ effort, then huge amounts of data can be gathered or analyzed, and a geographical map of the crisis area (crisis mapping) can be generated.

Micromappers apps allow users to sort tweets and tag them according to their category, such as ‘offers of help’ or ‘caution.’ Users can also tag photos by amount and type of damage. All tweets and images can also be geo-tagged with information about their location. All tagged tweets, taken together, can be used to generate an accurate map of the disaster area, showing the areas of heaviest damage and highest casualties. When Typhoon Pablo struck the Philippines in 2012, the UN Of¿ce for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs, used the MicroMappers volunteer force to analyze Twitter posts and create a map of conditions in the affected areas. The taskforce analyzed 20,000 tweets in the ¿rst 10 hours after the typhoon hit. The UN used this mapping data to create their of¿cial crisis map. This was the ¿rst time that social media had been used exclusively to produce a map of a disaster area. Google also used this map on their website as their of¿cial crisis map of the Philippines.

HECTOR’S Comedy of Horrors The head of animal husbandry in Badung regency, Made Badra, is reported (by the Jawa Pos newspaper) to have come up with a brilliantly cunning Baldrick-style plan to solve the rabies problem in Bali. These guys must be watching bootleg DVDs of the entire series of The Black Adder, the way they go on. Pak Made in particular seems to have been chatting with the Wise Woman. She was the witch who advised Lord Blackadder, who had a little dif¿culty with two men and a queen, to kill everyone. No, that’s unfair. He apparently would like to keep 200,000 dogs Bali as long as they’re vaccinated and sterilized, and kept as pets, in order to protect the Bali Dog. It’s possible that he was misreported as to the precise detail of his proposal. As head of animal husbandry he would presumably know that sterilized dogs have dif¿culty reproducing. Given the average lifespan of a dog, on the reported basis of his plan he’d be looking at eliminating the Bali Dog as a distinct species within about 15 years. The crux of the problem with rabies control in Bali is that no one is in control. There’s not enough vaccine in stock because not enough is being bought. District control programs are administered – though that hardly seems the word – by of¿cials who don’t know how many dogs there are but nonetheless would like to kill lots of them. The health bureaucracy cannot vaccinate people who need anti-rabies shots after they’ve been bitten by village dogs that no one can say have been vaccinated. Look up shemozzle in the dictionary. It’s all the rage here. On top of this, the Badung animal husbandry chief has a shot at animal welfare organizations that, he says, really should do more than just shout and scream if they want to help. We know of one such organization that right from the start of the crisis in 2008 actually did rather a lot more than just run around like a headless chook. It reduced rabies in dogs by a huge quantum in the ¿rst stage of a vaccination campaign it organized with international support. Then it ran into a poisonous thicket of provincial posturing and little local jealousies – these were not in Badung regency; that needs to be noted – and has since been monstrously hindered by inventive licensing and permit restrictions in doing its day job, let alone the government’s. We say again: world best practice shows that controlling rabies and eventually eliminating it as a threat to human and animal populations is achieved by vaccinating (and regularly re-vaccinating) domestic and informally owned dogs to create an effective vaccinated screen. Dogs are territorial and will see off interlopers and hence keep potentially rabid animals away. What part of “Oh I see” do the authorities here not understand?

Two Gems The Diary dined in excellent company at the new Jemme Restaurant in Jl. Petitenget at Kerobokan on May 9, its opening night after signi¿cant renovations. It was busy and at times a little noisy – but, hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little chatter and clatter – and the food hit the spot. It’s a gem. There’s a very decent wine list and a menu that suits all tastes. Our advice: Do drop in. Another gem was along for the occasion. Eva Scolaro, Perth jazz singer and now Bali resident, sang for everyone’s supper. She’s doing regular spots there. And we hear she’ll be performing at the next DIVA do, on Jun. 12 at Slippery Stone at Kerobokan. In an entirely different style, we looked in at Hog Wild’s soft opening in Jl. Batu Belig on May 14. It’s the former Naughty Nuri’s and the charity out¿t SoleMen had a bene¿t there. The grub’s good. So was Ceremco, the Dutch illusionist who has now been reading minds in Bali for two years. We’d seen him not long before at the Europe on Screen ¿lm festival at Pan Paci¿c Nirvana. He specializes in two different genres – kids’ magic (which was certainly working magically for the kids at Hog Wild) and hypnosis, psychological magic and self-help for adults.

Vehicle traf¿c from Java via the Ketapang-Gilimanuk ferry link rose by 37 percent. More than 3500 vehicles entered Bali from Gilimanuk on the Thursday before the long weekend alone. Since the Denpasar-Gilimanuk road would be Àat out properly handling 10 percent of its regular traf¿c and alternatives to this – a toll road option – are still in the department of pretty pictures, nothing’s going to change on that arterial route soon. In South Bali, the traf¿c situation at peak times has returned to the jam-packed inch-forward pro¿le for which it was famous before the Nusa Dua-Benoa toll road was built. Given rockbottom airfares aimed at domestic tourists and the Chinese invasion (they drive around in large parties in Leviathan-sized charabancs, as is their wont) the future looks bleak.

It’s a Squeeze A telling illustration of the bind Bali has got itself into over tourism and infrastructure comes to light in new ¿gures released by the statistics bureau that show a disastrous 20112015 decline in room occupancy rates of classi¿ed hotels (the ones with stars basically). They’re worth running your eye over even if you’re not directly involved in the hotel sector, since they demonstrate with stark clarity why retail outlets and other services that depend on high throughput of human customers are also struggling.

In January 2011 the occupancy rate was 64.66 percent. In 2012 it was 62.01; in 2013, it fell to 57.57, then to 52.85 in 2014 and 47.23 in 2015. For the month of February the rates were 62.23 (2011); 55.52 (2012); 58.05 (2013); 52.76 (2014); and 47.59 (2015). Similarly sharp falls in occupancy rates occurred in all but two months of each year between 2011 and 2015. March in particular stands out. In Mar. 2011 the occupancy rate was 63.16 percent. In Mar. 2015 it was 43.24 percent. August and September are the only months in the series in which the 2015 occupancy rates are higher than they were in 2011. (The 2014 and 2015 ¿gures are provisional.) Under Bali’s unplanned planning rules, new hotels are still being built and opened. Existing hotels are discounting room rates to attract custom, or are being squeezed by the online bookings sector. We hear a suggestion that most hotels even at the top star-rated level are effectively getting only Rp300,000 a night per room. If this is so – it’s unlikely any hotel general manager is going to be saying so publicly – then the situation is unsustainable in the long term without massive new numbers of visitors.

She is giving a cooking demonstration on Jun. 7. Williams, who was formerly executive chef at Alili Manggis, has a stellar CV and came to Bali from 12 years in Sydney, Australia, says her aim is to promote Balinese cuisine and culture without exploiting it or Bali’s people. The menu offers authentic Balinese food using a traditional Balinese style kitchen. They cook on wood-¿red, mud brick stoves, which Williams says allows the real Àavours of Bali to shine. Most of Bali Asli’s ingredients are either grown in its own or a neighbour’s garden or bought from the local market. There’s a cooking school too.

She has a refreshingly open approach to life and its vagaries. On the Bali Asli website there’s this lovely entry: “On Trip Advisor .... Among the few critics is an expat who has lived in Bali for several years. She describes the restaurant as a place for naive tourists and her advice is to get far less expensive but good Balinese food at a local warung.” Well, we’re another expat who has lived in Bali for several years and eats at local warungs. And Bali Asli is on our nonnaive-tourist must-visit list.

Chaos Theory: Proved We’ve had a lovely taste of the chaos the European and post-Ramadan high season will cause on Bali’s roads this year. The long weekend recently brought South Bali’s major arterial roads to a standstill. It’s reported that on the Friday evening of the long weekend it was taking up to two hours to make the trip from Seminyak to Kuta. That’s 6.4 kilometres via Sunset Road. Traf¿c was stalled for kilometres on the Ngurah Rai Bypass and all the connecting roads were jammed.

You say that when she doesn’t show up or respond in a timely manner, you worry about her. See if you can reset that in your mind to assuming instead that she’s fine, and that she probably just flaked out again. Better yet, frame it as a choice: “She chose not to come tonight.” Resist sending texts, calling to check up, or issuing ultimatums. Give yourself permission to disengage and turn off the phone. Break the dynamic in which her disappearing or running late inspires extra attention from you. Pleasantly, casually, accept – and mostly ignore -- her excuses and apologies. If she improves, give positive reinforcement, but don’t make a big deal of it. Change your expectations to reflect the reality of the situation. Right now your expectations are “Goddamnit, stop being late!” A more realistic expectation might be “She will be late or absent and not communicate well about it.” Stop being surprised when she acts like this. Treat it like the status quo that it is. You actually do have control over how much you allow this to ruin an evening of your life. Question: I’m 23 and have never had a girlfriend. In fact, I’ve never even been on a date. This isn’t to say that I haven’t tried to ask girls out; they just always say no. I’ve

I tried online dating, but that was a disaster; women didn’t even respond to my messages. I got my profile critiqued, and I have been told that it is pretty good, yet I’m still not getting any responses. My profile picture isn’t great, but I rarely get my picture taken, and I don’t want to be one of those people with a “selfie” mirror shot. I try really hard to keep my chin up and focus on my positive qualities, but it’s extraordinarily difficult when I can’t even get a single woman to respond and see if it goes somewhere. I have many friends that are women, and the only thing they can suggest is that I need to feel more confident and less desperate. I try to fake confidence and hide the desperation, but it isn’t going to go away until I can get a little affirmation that I’m attractive and worthy of dating. I know this should all come from within, but I’m a nerd, and my statistics don’t look good. No one I know is having the trouble I’m having, and the more failure I have, the more I want to curl up in a ball in the corner and cry. Please help! Dr. ZZ: You have women friends; so you know there are shy, awkward women like you in the world -- and people, like you, who made it through their teens and early twenties without finding romance or a sexual connection, and who are figuring all this out as adults. Everyone has something they are insecure about: acne, bad teeth, not enough money, too much money, an old relationship gone wrong, whatever. Try to be a bit more confident. Even if you don’t feel confident, don’t vomit your insecurities all over people. You can’t control whether anyone is going to like you; so stop setting people up as if they have magical powers to accept or reject you. Focus on your own feelings about whether you like them. Try to enjoy yourself and spend time only with people who are as cool as your friends.

Dr. ZZ: While your desire to stay close and spend time with your sister is admirable, the stress of making and keeping plans with her makes the actual time you spend together less enjoyable. You may want to give yourself a set time of say, 3 months, when you do not initiate any plans with her at all. The goal is not to punish or test her; it’s to give yourself a break from this dynamic and the responsibility of being the planner, to see if you can reset some things about how the relationship works, and remove all pressure from her to change or prove something to you.

I’ve tried to explain that this is really annoying, and I’ve asked her to not make plans with me if she doesn’t think she’ll actually make it, or at least to contact me and cancel ahead of time. When I try to talk to her about it, she’s defensive and hasn’t changed her behavior. I enjoy spending time with her, but I also want her to be respectful of my time. She’s 19 and too old for this kind of behavior. What can I do?

been rejected about 100 times without any female ever even viewing me as first date material. I really want to date and experience that part of life, but I don’t know how to go about it. Each time I get rejected, I feel absolutely crushed.

Denpasar

Question: I’m having trouble with my sister. Basically, she’s a flake. Often we make plans to spend time together, and she’ll change her plans at the last minute or sometimes not tell me at all. I understand that things can come up or take longer than expected, but this happens all the time. She seems to do it with everyone and not understand why people get angry with her.

Remember too that each person you approach is a new person – she’s not responsible for all the other rejections. She can’t see the other rejections and doesn’t know about them unless you introduce her to your shameful side. So even if you don’t feel as if this is true, each conversation is a totally fresh start. The more you treat it that way, the happier and more successful you’ll be.

The Frugal Balinist *Sandstone water ¿lter (Saringan Air). Bali’s sandstone (batu para), commonly used for sculptures and building construction, can also be used to remove sediment, taste and smell from water. This porous material is especially useful in obtaining drinking water from small streams; irrigation ditches and from rainwater collected off the grass thatch or tile roofs. A large rainwater catchment tank with a ¿lter using a gravity suppIy system is simple and easy to build. Water is drawn from the ¿lter into a gravity feed system to supply clean water for the kitchen and bath. Sandstone blocks are cemented into a hollow cube located in the centre of the large masonry catchment tank. The top of this cube extends above the high water line of the tank and is covered with removable stone blocks. Water seeps through the stone blocks whenever the water level inside the ¿lter cube falls below that of the dirty water in the outside part of the tank. A galvanized iron pipe pierces the side of the tank and extends through the side of the ¿lter cube, drawing clean filtered water. Water drawn from a sandstone ¿lter may still contain dangerous bacteria and must be boiled before drinking. The outside surface of the stone ¿lter will slowly clog with accumulated silt and other contaminants, this its surface must be scrubbed now and then with a stiff brush to assure that water is able to continually Àow through the stone into the inside of the ¿lter cube. If possible, the ¿lter should also be occasionally dried in the sun. *Weight loss. According to rigorous studies by Consumer Reports, there’s little evidence that expensive commercial weight-loss supplements even work. Safer and more effective is to use herbal body slimming agents. Javanese women use herbal jamu like Susut Perut by Borobudur that slims body fat. The Balinese prefer either cheap Haiping (Rp10,000/per 10 capsules) or the more expensive Putri Langsing by Mahkota Herbal (Rp35,000/30 capsules), both available at most Depot Jamu shops in Bali. For losing weight very fast, the Javanese use a colon cleanser like Susut Lemak by PJ Lentera Agung Raya Indonesia (Rp50,000/per 60 capsules) but this cleanser is kind of radical and gives you diarrhoea. A safer herbal weight-loss supplement popular all over Indonesia is Mona & Lisa by Putro Kinasih (Rp60,000/45 capsules). *Energy savings: Save as much as 80% of energy costs on every load by using a cold water laundry detergent such as Rinso Matic (Rp35,000/1.6 liter) liquid for machine washing or Rinso Molto (Rp25,000/bottle) for washing coloreds. For hand washing, use Attack Clean Maximizer powder (Rp17,000/800 grams) for heavy-duty super dirty clothes. In any case, you need to separate all the color clothing from the white, then put your detergent into the same tub, soak for 15 minutes, then wash by hand. To make white clothes even whiter, use Rinso Anti Noda (Rp23,000/bottle) plus a little of By Clean (Rp11,000/liter). *Restaurant of the Month: Everyone is raving about the family-owned Buda Bakery (Jl. Damai, BTN Lovina Graha, tel. 081-2469-1779, open everyday 7 am10 pm) in Lovina. Though a bit hard to ¿nd, the simply amazing food is worth the effort. As in the very finest European gourmet restaurants, the presentation matches the taste. Varied menu suits almost any culture: seafood, Thai, Western, appetizers, main entrees, lovely drinks, fresh juices, excellent coffee and beautiful desserts. Standouts are yummy fresh garden salads, chicken green curry, club sandwich, pork steak sandwich and tuna sandwich; delicious prawn dishes and Mahi-Mahi, what may be Bali’s best mojito and a Tom Yum soup that can equal any in Thailand. For dessert, try the cookies, apple crumble, banana coconut pancakes, cheesecake as good as can be found in Paris and huge reasonably priced breakfasts. Though a little more expensive than most of the restaurants in Kalibukbuk, this hospitable restaurant is outstanding value: two people can eat wonderfully for Rp300,000 (includes cocktails). Nice panorama overlooking the village and towards the mountains. Chef-owner Buda gives good touristic advice. Finding the off-the-beaten-track location can be dif¿cult. The bakery storefront on the ground Àoor makes it easy to overlook the

restaurant upstairs. GPS helps. Follow the wafting smells of freshly made breads, pastries and cakes. A Must-Go for the food lover if you’re in the Lovina area.

*Minitips. Screen savers don’t save energy; use instead power management features so your computer monitor and hard drive will go into “sleep mode” when not in use. *Alfamarts and Indomarets sell their own house brands of plastic bottles of water for prices (Rp2200) far less than restaurants, cafes and other kinds of toko. *When using a microwave cover to prevent a messy microwave, it should be washed periodically because food splatter residue is left on inside of the cover. *Vendors selling bakso use formalin as a preservative, which is great for teeth, ¿ngernails and for preserving the dead; some even use clothing dye to make the food or dessert ‘look’ better. *Mothballs (kapur bagus) deter mice from entering and settling in your clothes drawers; Swallow Rp27,000/500 gr; Dahlia Rp8,500/150 gr. *If you’re leaving the house unoccupied and unguarded, turn on the lights and TV very loud to make it seem like someone is home. *Even in faraway villages of Bali you can make online payments for PLN, PDM, ticketing, etc. through the local LPD (Koperasi) of¿ce. *Customers at Sanur’s Borneo Restaurant on Jl. Pantai Sindhu may swap or borrow books from Bob’s library of thousands of books in English and other languages. *The new Lenovo A7000 smartphone is exclusively available at lazada.co.id with an introductory price tag of only Rp1,999,999. *Carrying around an extra 50 kilos of weight in your car could reduce your kilometres-per-litre by as much as 2%; this affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones. *Buy cheaper basic ingredients rather than more expensive pre-packaged ready-made processed food. *Bali’s translation services are expensive; use Google Translate to rapidly translate English text into Indonesian. It’s not perfect but you can surmise the general drift and it’s free. *The Balinese expression Do ngubuh bebek muani! (“Don’t raise male ducks!”) means don’t invest in anything unpro¿table like raising male ducks. *With pressure and higher temperatures, at least one-third of your cooking time is reduced with a pressure cooker and at the same time making a richer and more intense Àavor; FINCOOK Rp437,990/large or Rp293,990/ medium. * “Being broke is a temporary situation. Being poor is a state of mind,”Mike Todd.

*Economical food warmer: Tas Mantap (“Awesome Bag” in Indonesian) is a heat retention cloth wrapper bag which allows women to save money on cooking fuel, save time cooking over a hot stove, while still providing their families with the comforts of a warm meal. Simply put a halfcooked pot into the bag and close it up tightly. The shape and size of the bag can be customised according to the size of the pot. The bag, which is made of a pillow-like material and looks like a comfy mattress, possesses heat retention properties, which will complete the cooking process. The bags are produced using very attractive batik designs from Tuban, while the insulation material is the natural and readily available biodegradable kapok fiber (tree cotton). Available for Rp215,000 at Kopernik’s Àagship Tech Kiosk Ubud, it comes with a recipe book full of ideas for what you can cook using the bag. Great value considering the fuel savings and also the convenience if taking food to a picnic or to eat in the ¿elds during harvest. Directions: Pondok Wisata Sayan Ayu, Jl. Raya Sayan 74 (opposite Gaya Fusion), Sayan, Ubud, tel. 819-10679620. While there, check out a whole range of simple, lifechanging innovative technologies in the Kopernik display room.

*To upgrade to the new pulsa meter electricity service (ganti listrik pulsa), go to the nearest PLN of¿ce and order the new service. PLN will send a technician to check out your house to determine how much power you’ll need. PLN will then give you a price to install the new service. A small house needs Daya R I Pas (450 to 2,200 VA); larger houses, small cottage industries and small hotels need up to Daya R II Pas (5,500 to 6,600 VA) or even Daya R III Pas (7,700 to 10,600 VA). If you order R I (a category of electoral service), it costs less because the government subsidizes this type of widespread service. Make sure you only pay your change-ofservice fee at the PLN of¿ce where you receive an of¿cial receipt. Service fees for Daya R I, the most common electrical service, costs anywhere from Rp1,224,00 to Rp2,680,000. These fees do not include installation and pulsa, the cost of which depends on your electrical capacity. Under no circumstances pay the on-site PLN employee or technician (unless you know the guy personally). PLN employees only give you the live box listrik. Be sure to get a quote from the electrician (tukang listrik) for wiring your house before he begins work, one of the most expensive phases of building a house. *Ever wonder why tempe taste better on Java? It’s best to buy tempe on Bali that is made by a Javanese; only they know how to truly make it. The beans also have a lot to do with the taste of good tempe. You have a better chance of ¿nding good tempe if you buy it in the villages – made by either Javanese or competent Balinese - because villagers use local (nonGMO) soybeans which they’ve planted themselves. In Bali’s urban areas, both Balinese and Javanese tempe makers use GMO soybeans because they are cheaper, easy to ¿nd. GMO beans are larger and better looking, but are plain tasting. Locally grown (non-GMO) soybeans, which can sometimes be purchased at traditional markets, are identi¿able by their small size and darker color, browner than GMO soybeans. If you want to buy a large quantity, look for a Membeli Hasil Bumi seller in small villages selling kopi, jagung, beras, kacang,

*Don’t pat anything with teeth! How do you know a dog has rabies? Catch the dog in a net and isolate it in a quarantine cage. Observe the dog for 10 days - the maximum length of time the animal can survive after showing symptoms of rabies. If the dog is still alive after 10 days, then it de¿nitely is not rabid. If the dog shows clear symptoms of rabies that raises the confidence level of the diagnosis, then it should be immediately euthanized and sent to the lab for testing. DINAS (government authority) should be informed immediately. VAR vaccine treats human victims of possibly rabid dog, monkey and cat bites. Since April, supplies of anti-rabies the vaccine at government hospitals and community health centers have been out of stock in Badung regency, Bali’s most populous regency. Sanglah General Hospital still has a limited supply of the potentially life-saving vaccine.

*Check with Mr. Fixit ¿rst! Don’t tackle any building project without ¿rst consulting this amazing resource for anyone wishing to buy, rent, build, renovate or repair property. Useful articles and tech information on an extensive range of topics as well as advice on how to avoid pitfalls speci¿c to Bali, aimed at residents of Bali and giving solutions that can be found in Bali. We are putting on a roof right now. After checking Mr. Fixit’s website (www.mr¿xitbali.com ), I learned: good quality thatch (alang-alang) is more expensive than roof tiles (genteng); laying aluminium foil underneath roof tiles prevents rain penetration and signi¿cantly reduces heat getting into your house; allow roofs to “breath” by using bamboo matting (bedeg), not triplex; allow breezes to Àow under roof tiles by installing fans or ventilation openings; electric wiring must be installed inside plastic conduit; avoid cement gutters on roofs which cause water damage in the internal walls beneath; paint plastic gutters, brackets and downpipes to make them last longer; square box gutters are superior to the round ones because you can get stronger supporting brackets for them; install gutter brackets no further than 60 cm apart. Finally, using high quality roof tiles will prevent leaks that can cause considerable damage to ceilings and roof structures. Thank you Mr. Fixit for saving me tens of millions of rupiah and loads of heartache!

The organisers apologised to the runners who missed the registration. “In general, we would love to give access to all runners to participate in 2015 BMBM. On the other hand, we would like to maintain the quality of the race. We have view that runners cannot enjoy the race if it is overcrowded.

10 Ways to Deepen your Spiritual Connection Deepening our spiritual connection gives us greater balance in our lives. Through greater connection to Spirit and our higher selves, we are able to gracefully deal with the many challenges that occur in our lives. We maintain our center like the calm in the eye of the storm -- remaining unshaken at our core even though chaos surrounds us. Those who do not have a connection to Spirit or to their higher selves, may often feel lost or may be easily upset by what’s occurring in their outer world. When we align with our highest self, we know who we truly are and feel a sense of purpose and clarity that guides us through life with ease. We are empowered to continue our journey through life. When tragedy befalls us or our hearts have been broken, we find our strength and optimism, rather than choosing to be a victim. We see the beauty of life and the glory, embracing the possibilities of our futures. Here are 10 tips to deepen your Spiritual Connection: 1. Incorporate a Mind, Body, Spirit exercise practice into your daily life. Chi Gong, Tai Chi & Yoga are all excellent and will assist you with creating emotional balance, greater energy flow and physical agility. As we open up the energy channels in our bodies we can more easily connect to our higher selves and to source. 2. Spend time every day feeling gratitude for your life and all the blessings that are bestowed upon you. The feeling of gratitude is a higher vibrational emotion that opens up to our divinity. 3. Be of service by helping another person in need whether it be a stranger or a family member. As we give to others this opens the doors to the Universe and facilitates a deepening of our connection to source and to ourselves. 4. Spend time every week meditating. If you don’t have time to do this every day, then take time out 3 - 4 times a week to be alone and be still. This stillness enables us to go within and connect with our higher selves. It is food for our soul and very important for maintaining emotional & mental stability. When we are at peace within, our outer world reflects this to us. 5. Trust your inner knowing. Our higher selves & spirit guides often communicate to us through intuition or physical sensations. The more we pay attention and honor these communications, we are able to deepen our connection to Spirit and our higher selves. 6. Let go of all self judgment and judgment of others. Judgment blocks us from fully living our highest potential. When we judge ourselves or others, the only energy we can receive is the same energy that matches that judgment. This means that if something else greater comes along, we can’t acknowledge it or receive it, because we are blocked by our judgments.

Live your dreams! Don’t be afraid to step out into the world and actualize your life goals. The Universe will support you in living your dreams, because when we choose this, we are inviting others to choose it too. When we deny our dreams this dampens our connection to Spirit and our higher selves. 8. Laugh more, dance, celebrate life! These are all high vibrational activities that can facilitate a heart opening. When we fully open our hearts we ARE connecting with our higher selves. All the great teachers understood the value of joy & laughter. 9. Be in nature as much as possible. When we spend time in a natural environment we feel an energy flow that recharges our entire being. This energy is one and the same as the energy of Spirit. Nature is a direct conduit to Spirit, so when we tap into it, we can connect to our higher selves on an even deeper level. 10. Live your truth! So many people compromise who they truly are by trying to fit into society by being a certain way that is considered ‘socially acceptable’, or they destroy themselves by being the person that their husband, mother or father expects them to be. Let go of all of that and be your authentic self. When you fully step into your own potency and live your truth you create an opening for Spirit to come through with total ease and grace. As we balance our body, mind and Spirit we are able to easily align with our higher selves and open up to having a deeper connection with Spirit. Our connection is personal and is most likely totally different than someone else’s connection. It is not based on what our religious beliefs are or whether we even have a religion. It is something that is ineffable and dynamic – always expanding with our choices and actions. When we stop functioning from the anticonsciousness of this reality and live consciously, we are fully connected to Spirit.

Computer & Internet What did you have to do to get your businesses up and running?

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

We ¿rst had to make a business plan. After our parents accepted our proposals, they gave us seed money or capital. We then created a logo, made a shopping list, gathered ingredients and materials and started cooking, crafting and packaging our products. What speci¿c business did you do?

Ivo Ganesha: Junior Entrepreneur Program Ivo Ganesha was born and brought up in Canggu, Bali. He attended several international schools - Teddy’s School, Lollipop School, Sunrise School and Rainbow Junior School - from ages 3 to 9 years. Because the schools either closed or the learning environment didn’t suit his interests or talents, Ivo’s parents started to homeschool him using the Cambridge Curriculum when he was 9 years old. His parents also employ a one-on-one private teacher for each subject. Ivo will take the Cambridge Check Point Test and the Indonesia National Examination so he can receive official credit for the successful completion of his classes. In March 2015, Ivo, his parents and several friends started the Junior Entrepreneur Program that teaches kids, ranging in age from 5 to 11, to become entrepreneurs. Presently there are 7 boys and 2 girls in the program. Why did you and your parents decide to homeschool? To be truthful, I cannot sit quietly. My brain is too busy. My teachers have always thought I was annoying and that I felt school was boring. At Sunrise, I had a personal assistant so I would not annoy my friends. But now with homeschooling, I can do what I like which gives me the freedom to be more creative. Have you always liked doing business? I have liked entrepreneurship since I was four years old. I tried selling everything from cookies to brochures in my kampong and at school. Even when my mom didn’t want me to, I secretly I sold things. I have even tried to sell my own handmade Christmas cards. What gave you the idea of starting your Junior Entrepreneur Program? I wanted to raise money to pay for a holiday and to buy Legos at the Lego Store at Beachwalk in Kuta. My parents liked the idea of taking all of us kids on a ¿eldtrip to Nusa Lembongan. At the same time, they wanted us to learn about entrepreneurship in order to raise money for the ¿eldtrip. They asked us to prepare proposals and business plans. We surprised them with all the ideas we came up with for earning money.

Since I love chocolate, my mom taught me how to make chocolate mousse, so I sell chocolate mousse, cakes and brownies. After we make a batch, I put the chocolate into cups to sell. My mom also helps me make paper bags from recycled paper so people can carry their purchases home. I write on each bag Orang keren, tidak buang sampah sembarangan, (“Cool people don’t throw their garbage everywhere.”). Early Sunday morning we drive to Car Free Day in Renon when there are no cars and motorbikes allowed on the street. I sell my chocolate mousse and my friends sell their wares.

ENHANCE & PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS IN SOCIAL MEDIA CONSISTENTLY SERVING CLIENTS SINCE 2002 C/Ci/I-01 Oct 14

What sorts of businesses did your friends start? Our parents suggested that we just be lone entrepreneurs and not employ workers or helpers. So each of us has to make and sell the products ourselves around our own neighborhoods, mostly for pro¿t but sometimes for charity. My friend Kevin sells Chicken Baguettes. Kaylin and Katlin sell puddings and popcorn. Sean sells funny pencils and fridge magnets. Oya Kevin, Katlin, Kaylin and Sean sell rubber Loom Band Bracelets. From time to time we also sell hats, posters and paper trumpets. Do you also learn about branding and marketing? I have my own brand called Jurassic Cakes. I’m still learning about advertising. Mom promised that she’s going to ¿nd somebody to teach me. My mom taught me how to produce a ¿nancial report. I keep a ledger on how much money I spend and how much pro¿t I make. I always make a pro¿t because I always sell my products. I think my friends also make pro¿t. Our group occasionally goes on ¿eld trips or “entrepreneur outings,” when we visit a business and learn how the owner operates his or her business.

C/CI/G-27 May 15

Besides making money, what else have you gained from starting your own business? In the beginning I was shy selling to complete strangers, but now that’s no longer the case. I sell in Bahasa Indonesia and in English. I’ve learned how to shop thriftily, how to cook and bake and how to track the money I spend. Before starting Jurassic Cakes, the only business exposure I had was watching my dad run his furniture business. He often took me with him to meet clients, to his various projects and trade shows. I learned a lot from him, but now I understand even better what it takes to operate a business. How may you be contacted? Email: ganesha.homeschool@gmail.com.

What personally motivates you? Ever since I saw Jurassic Park when he was 5 years old, I’ve wanted to be a paleontologist. I’m really into dinosaurs and prehistoric life on earth. My dream is to create a Dinosaur Park in an island in Indonesia like the park in Isla Nubar near Costa Rica. To realize this dream, I need to know how to make money.

Testament of Youth Just prior to WW1, a well brought up young English country girl pleads desperately with her parents to be allowed to study at Oxford University. However, shortly after she commences her studies, the war breaks out. As she watches her fiancée, brother, and friends all go off to fight, she feels that she too should contribute somehow to the war effort. The woman abandons Oxford, and enlists in a nursing unit. She is sent to the frontlines in Flanders, where she observes first-hand the gruesome carnage of the war. This good English costume-drama is based on a bestselling memoir by Vera Brittain, who, in later life, went on to become a successful novelist and a well-known pacifist. The movie is superbly staged and costumed, and, very elegantly directed by James Kent. Alicia Vikander gives a great performance as Vera. Ride The son of an over-protective divorced mother flees the nest. He drops out of a New York college, and, heads off to Southern California to become a surfer. Peeved by his abandonment, the mother takes some time off from her career, and flies out to the West Coast. There, she surreptitiously spies on her son, and his new surfing friends. Still, curious about what the attraction is, the mother decides to take some surfing lessons herself. Pretty soon she is hooked. This situation-comedy is written, produced, and, directed by Helen Hunt, who also stars as the mother. The movie is charming, however, you do get a feeling that the whole project was conceived to show off Ms. Hunt’s prowess on a surfboard. This is not the first surfing movie that she has made! Beyond the Reach While on a hunting expedition in the Arizona desert, a Los Angeles ‘big shot’ shoots and kills a hermit prospector. The ‘big shot’ decides to kill his tour guide, the only witness to the accident, and destroy all of the evidence. However, the ‘big shot’ also decides to turn the killing into a kind of sport. He gives the tour guide a head start, and, then, proceeds to track him down. Director Jean-Baptiste Leonetti does a good job of keeping the tension up, while, he also captures some remarkable panoramas of the desert. The desert itself becomes a third character in the story. Michael Douglas produced the movie. He knows it is really a load of rot, but, he has lots of fun acting in it. An Act of War An American war veteran is wracked with guilt over an incident which occurred during his tour-of-duty in the Middle East. He is at the point of a nervous collapse, and, cannot differentiate between what is reality and what is hallucination. The veteran spends most of his time between his rundown apartment, a late night diner, and, a sleazy ‘art-house’ cinema, where he works as a projectionist. He is also in a relationship with a prostitute, and, addicted to an undisclosed narcotic. Something has to give. By making his protagonist a projectionist, this allows director Ryan M. Kennedy to explore many historical classical film genres. Ultimately, he settles on ‘film noir’, and proceeds to make a contemporary movie in this style. I found this black and white movie to be fascinating, but, it might not be to everyone’s taste.

International non-governmental organization devoted to nature conservation, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is concerned about the bird of paradise (Paradisaeidae) trade that is prevalent in Papua.

GREENSPEAK by Ibu Kat

Back to the Land

In an era when farmer’s kids can’t wait to put that traditional low-status occupation behind them, an interesting cross section of Indonesians are Àouting cultural norms to pick up a shovel. Leading up to the Ubud Food Festival which celebrates the culinary bounty of the archipelago, I talked to a few nontraditional farmers about their career choices.

In February 2014 they started working at Bumi Langit. “We learned composting, growing vegetables, harvesting rice and milking cows. I owe so much to the Bumi Langit family for their help and guidance. At the end of 2014 we bought some land in Kasongan, Java. A house is in progress, and we’ll be farming there and starting a family.

Letters To Bali Advertiser Almonds vs Water Dear Sir, I am not sure whether this is the correct place for writing my comments but I felt impelled to say something after reading the column Alternative Voice in the latest edition of Bali Advertiser 13th May to 27th May. It was talking about almond production in California how it is “drinking California” dry. I found this a really misleading article as it gives a skewed idea as to where water usage is mainly used. In fact according to the Pacific Institutes research 47% of California’s water is being used for the production of meat and dairy products. Given the tone of the article in regards big conglomerates making money, sustainability and the environment then maybe the greater problem and bigger business interest be confronted and discussed. Even the 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee issued its newest recommendations on what Americans should be eating. The committee advised that a diet higher in plant-based foods and lower in animalbased foods is both healthier and better for the environment. I do hope you follow up with this as being a Balinese resident now and seeing the huge problem we face with water shortages I think the debate needs to be had re meat and dairy production. Along with sustainable urban development but that’s another issue and one you did address with your ‘No water No Bali’ article. Thanks for your informative newspaper! Kind regards Penny ParacelsusAsia responds: Ms Adams is correct, though I am unclear why she feels misled. Her point is one I make myself very clearly and early on in this article, when I say that “almonds are not California’s most thirsty crop”. Alfalfa is, grown to feed dairy cows. The fact that the meat and dairy industries are ecologically unsustainable is a fact I and many others have made often and scarcely bears repeating. My point was different, finding it interesting that even an ecologically sustainable crop becomes unsustainable once its sheer size outstrips its environment. ParacelsusAsia.

*** Bye bye Flexi Dear Editor, Flexi will be shut down on 31 May 2015. And tens of thousands of SME businesses (and 14 million private Flexi clients) won’t have access to a non-landline local number any more. But there is help: As the only one CDMA provider left, Smartfren is offering the same service (as before) with SIM Cards for CDMA phones that can be used as local number or mobile number. Where to get one: Opposite the Smartfren office at the Pertamina station on Simpang Enam, there is a small shop called Dewa Cell. They have a wide range of 0361 numbers, so go and grab a nomor cantik as long as they last ☺ Will Smartfren be online for many years to come? Who knows? But at least you can have a local 0361 number again – and that is important for quite a few SMEs, isn’t it? Good luck to all, and spread the news! Peter G.

SCHEDULE THAT Anak Atelier Activity Day (6 June) The Anak Atelier Preschool & Kindergarten is hosting a free day of play at their beautiful school and outdoor playscape. On this special day, families can enjoy free access to the playground and even sample some of their popular after school activities. Based at Balangan in the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, The Anak Atelier is an early learning centre that caters to families with children aged 15 months to 6 years. The programmes include toddler, preschool and kindergarten classes. Short-term options for visiting families, and a range of holiday programmes, popular sports, dance and creative activities after school are also available. Merging well with Bali’s natural beauty, the school boasts a stunning playground that includes a sandpit, a running stream, natural wood climbing and balancing structures, a bridge connecting the play areas and common spaces that invite opportunities for children to gather and socialise. A shaded open oval reÀective of the terraced rice paddies provides a grassy lawn for physical activities, and also acts as an amphitheatre for family events (you can also rent the venue for children’s parties). There are plenty of shaded areas for parents to relax while keeping a close eye on the children, and orders can be placed for drinks and snacks from the neighbouring cafe. The Anak Atelier Playground is open Monday to Friday from 3.00pm to 5.00pm and during school holidays from 9.00am to 5.00pm. In collaboration with some wonderfully talented instructors, it also offers a variety of activities for both children and adults such as Balinese Dance, Indo Vibes (interactive music class), Arts & Crafts, Capoeira, Soccer, Adult Yoga and even an Indonesian Study Group. These activities vary from term to term so do keep up to speed via the Facebook Page – The Anak Atelier Playground. When Cost Where Contact

Indian Fine Dining (13 June) Just the thought of Indian food makes my mouth water. From butter chicken to Tandoori and the scrumptious vegetable dishes with all the elaborate spices make Indian food unique. For readers who love Indian food this is an event for one day only over in Tabanan. Chef Alfred Prasad, a Michelin-starred chef will be hosting a culinary adventure creating some scrumptious Indian dishes. Chef Prasad has an impressive resume starting at Chennai’s Institute of Hotel Management and taking him all the way to London where he began as Sous Chef at the exclusive Tamarind of Mayfair and becoming executive Chef within the year. The Tamarind of Mayfair is the ¿rst ¿ne dining Indian restaurant to receive a Michelin star and Chef Prasad became the youngest Indian Michelin Starred Chef at 29. All this is so impressive and inspiring and how wonderful but not surprising that he has chosen to visit Bali and bring along his wealth of talents for one afternoon and evening. Also, Chef Prasad is very much concerned with food waste and poverty and acts as an ambassador to charities focused on operating sustainable and far reaching programmes. I know that the global issue of food waste is a major concern particularly as many parts of the world suffer from famine and starvation. Yet in other parts, obesity is a growing problem. Something is wrong somewhere in this equation and we can all play a small part. Indian food has gained its place as a favourite in ¿ne dining and popular restaurants and although there are only a few Indian restaurants in Bali, a good curry is always a treat. There is a 3-course lunch followed by dinner at the very beautiful Alila Villas Soori. Combined with some amazing dishes, carefully prepared by Chef Prasad and a drive up to Tabanan away from the hustle and bustle of south Bali, this is going to be a very special day out. A culinary journey to Indian. Do call ahead to reserve your space as places are limited. Where

the world has become and how much more accessible. Indonesia is now promoting Bali’s neighbours Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores and Komodo. Travel agents, hotels and resorts, cruise operators, convention planners, venue operators and travel buyers will all be part of South East Asia’s largest travel fair.

Comment: Nominee “Crisis”

Seeking Resolution - the Silent Approach or Shine a Light?

I recently received a long letter from a reader calling himself Bali Bulé (BB) sent, he said, on behalf of himself and a group of long term Canggu residents addressing the subject of foreign ownership of land in Bali via nominees. In this letter he expressed their disagreement and, he claimed, that of many other readers, with ‘much of what I wrote’. They also took grave exception to the word “crisis” being used in this connection. The “crisis” being, in their opinion: “an entirely self-created, and possibly self-serving, crisis manufactured by some of those involved”. Who such persons might be and why they would do such a thing he would not say. BB went on to share that he and his group wanted to express a different perspective from what I and K3NI were “propagating” and hoping that I would share their viewpoint with BA readers in order, he said “to provide more balance to the discussion”. Normally I would happy to share BB’s letter in full as he requests, even under an assumed name. There are legitimate reasons why people write under a pseudonym (I do it myself) but it is necessary when writing to a publication on a public matter to establish bona fides by providing your true name and address in confidence to the editor. I had no reason to suppose BB is other than he says but without such information it is possible that an unscrupulous party could seek to take advantage or manipulate opinion improperly. Therefore we cannot publish BB’s letter as we had hoped. That said, BB is right about one thing, discussion on the issue is exactly what is needed if the situation is not to become an awful mess. And so it may be useful to note what BB has to say and see if it has any merit. From the outset, however, BB is in error when he conflates myself and what I write with whatever he understands K3NI is about. I have no links with K3NI other than subscribing to their website. I propagate nothing, certainly not how people should handle their property. I simply reported the findings of that organization as to the sheer scale of the problem and that they called a public meeting to address it. The only endorsement I made was that K3NI provided a forum for those concerned might do well to take advantage of. BB went on to take K3NI to task for inaccuracy for what he supposed were the alternative options for holding property. If he is basing this observation on what I wrote, he should be more careful since I deliberately and clearly cited just one option among several mentioned by them. The point being, that for lack of space this was not something I sought to cover in detail and readers could refer to K3NI or elsewhere

for more information. I was quite taken aback by BB’s next point, where he basically blamed the victims for their predicament, stating: “Given the legal situation is already widely understood, those who nonetheless proceeded to enter into illegal ownership arrangements did so either because they are lacking in common sense, or because they were prepared to accept the risks having weighed the risks against the potential rewards.”

qualities, up to the individual wit and ingenuity of those involved. I doubt whether BB and his associates, whatever their wishes, can affect this one way or the other. Clearly BB et al are frightened of something, but what exactly? He does not say. From his letter he appears to fear that a lot of noisy bulés complaining will seriously affect other foreigners resident here in good standing. That there will in effect “be a witch-hunt against all foreign residents”.

In other words they deserve what they get, and shouldn’t make waves. This strikes me as harsh, especially when BB did not attempt to offer any ‘alternative’ approach as he claimed, other than to suggest people should not make a fuss as they got themselves into this mess. Some may indeed have been greedy and/or foolish. The majority, understandably hoping to protect their investment under the law, were encouraged in this course by realtors and, more to the point, by certain legal advisors and property consultants who very successfully “muddied” the nominee issue. Which really brings me to the nub of BB’s argument, as I understand it. BB claims he and his associates have followed the law with their own properties and they’re OK. They just wish everyone who didn’t do it right would just shut up and take whatever punishment fate and the government decrees. That’s not just unfeeling; they’ve got to be dreaming if they think those affected are not going to take steps they think best to protect their interests. But what exactly are BB and his pals so frightened about if they’ve done everything right? Why are they so darned keen to have everyone else shut up? BB may well be as claimed and simply worried about his own situation, but we cannot be sure since we cannot know who he is. In a bad situation like this it is not stretching credulity to suspect there may be some who have played a role in the debacle, who might well like to shift responsibility elsewhere and prefer to keep things quiet. For good or ill, in April the Minister declared open season on foreign ‘nominee ownership’ in Bali and Lombok and everybody affected has been put on notice to regularize their positions within the next 18 to 24 months or risk losing their properties. That is the law of the land and the Minister cannot reasonably be criticized for enforcing it. One hopes it is done as fairly as possible and the Minister has told us that it will be. Let us hope so. What ensues will probably be messy, some will come through it well and some will not, others no doubt falling somewhere in between. Whether or not a foreign ‘nominee-owner’ can achieve a successful passage through this process discreetly, noisily or via a middle path is, in so far as they possess these

Really, why would he think that? Were such a fear justified he might have a point, but to convince people of it he will need to come up with something better than an anonymous letter containing vague hints of dark forces at work, or that those affected are only getting what they deserve. Now if he and his associates feared a witch-hunt against the advisors and consultants and all those who had encouraged their clients to go the route of nominee ownership, that might be understandable. But apparently that’s not it. So why, when he is not a property consultant and his property is not at risk is BB and his friends so concerned? It is true the Minister’s announcement on resumption of land under illegal ownership is likely to cause problems for some villa “owners”, but no good reason has been advanced why that should that affect BB and people like him. What I find regrettable about this letter is that, by accident or design, it plays into the sense of unease that foreign residents historically experience when they aspire to become long term guests in Bali. The suspicion that whatever you do, hidden forces can strip you and spit you out without your quite knowing why remains, as it was, an intrinsic part of Bali’s dark side. Then as now, it is precisely what allows the unscrupulous to take advantage of the unwary. In a way things are easier now, in that the cause for such unease is often readily identifiable as financial advantage. In which case it is hardly surprising that some of those affected in the nominee (dare I say) ‘crisis’ should want to share knowledge about how to confront a common challenge. Especially at a time when many will find themselves in need of sound independent advise, to compare notes among themselves on where to find it and share their past experiences, both good and bad. Enough reason to welcome K3NI rather than fear it, I’d have thought. Good luck to them I say. Let the sun shine in and the more scrutiny the better. Perhaps BB and friends should be less fearful and join the discussion. If they do that, once their bona fides are clear, people can make up their own minds based on the merit of their argument.

BA Feature Article

Coworking in Asia: A Whole New Way to Work by Peripatete A recent New York Times article, “Co-Working on Vacation: A Desk in Paradise,” highlighted the bene¿ts of living a more leisurely life while working remotely. Many in Bali have been reaping these bene¿ts, with some calling Ubud home, for as little as a week, to as long as, well… for an inde¿nite duration. They’re a new breed; entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, writers and creative thinkers - all here for the same reason: to work differently. Digitally. Nomadically. Remotely. They comprise a small sampling of a nascent but Àourishing worldwide movement known as ‘coworking.’ According to Deskmag, the premier online magazine about coworking, its people and spaces, “a growing proportion of workers are now freelancers, contractors or small companies that have the opportunity to rede¿ne the concept of the workspace for themselves.” A timeline on Deskmag’s site notes that the history of coworking goes back to the fall of 1995, when the first hackerspace, C-base, opened in Berlin. Four years later, Brian DeKoven launched the word “coworking” as a way to identify a method that would facilitate collaborative work and business meetings, coordinated by computers. More than ¿fteen years later, the coworking model continues to evolve around the world – even in Bali. Amidst these rapid global d developments, tthe First Asian Coworking U UNconference ((CUASIA) took p place recently in Ubud. Unlike m o s t c conferences, an UNconference is organized and led by participants themselves. CUASIA 2015 brought together many enthusiasts of the coworking and innovation scene across Asia to discuss the changing face of work in the region. Over two days, 125 people - from Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, South Korea, the Philippines and as far away as Brazil and the US - gathered to share their experiences of creating innovative work spaces. A regional preconference, held on the day preceding the of¿cial event, was held in bahasa Indonesia and attracted nearly sixty Indonesian d i g i t a l entrepreneurs, startup devotees and wanna-be co-founders. The presence of many Indonesian business mavens reÀected the Àourishing coworking trend that has taken hold in the archipelago. Dondi Hananto is one such changemaker. A serial entrepreneur, Hananto co-founded Comma, the ¿rst coworking space in Jakarta (the ¿rst Indonesian space, Hackerspace, opened in November 2010), as well as wujudkan.com, a crowdfunding website for creative Indonesian projects. He says that Comma, a majority of whose membership is comprised of Indonesians rather than digital nomads, started as “a fun way to tackle our own problems. We were a small team of entrepreneurs and couldn’t afford expensive Jakarta real estate.” Hananto may be a pioneer in the Indonesian startup ecosystem, but he admits that coworking in a congested city is not for everyone. For this reason and others, spaces have been popping up all over the archipelago; in Surabaya, Bandung, Jogjakarta and, perhaps not surprisingly, in Bali as well. Java native Faye Alund now lives in Bali; but not long ago, she worked in humanitarian aid organizations in various developing countries around the world. After years of fatigue and burnout, she changed gears. Now, while raising two children, she is on the brink of opening a coworking space, called Kumpul, in Sanur. Cynthia Satrya also came home to Indonesia, but her impetus to return was different than Alund’s. A 50-year old wife and mother, Satrya was born in Jakarta, studied in the Netherlands and lived in the United States for many years. She and her husband Dian, of Indonesian heritage as well, decided to return in order to make

a contribution to society. “People my age, we’re successful but we don’t care about the young generation,” says Satrya, “It’s a problem in our society; sharing knowledge and working together. Even though the culture is based on gotong royong – the spirit of collaboration and mutual bene¿t, in reality, especially in Jakarta, nobody wants to do it. We’re competing against each other.” Satrya’s venue, Coworkinc., is on the brink of opening in the Kemang area of Jakarta, an artsy neighborhood. “CoworkInc will be a platform for designers and the creative industries. It’s for anyone who is looking for an alternative other than going to the of¿ce.” “The idea came to me when we ¿rst returned to Indonesia about a year ago,” says Satrya. “I have a mission to give back to the society because I know that a lot of the young Indonesian designers need a place, a platform, not only to launch their products, but also to be heard.” She sees her role as a facilitator: “They may have graduated from a good university in Indonesia, but they’re green - they don’t know how to be anyone else. They don’t know how to start their business; they don’t know how to hold a meeting and approach clients, sign a contract. I can help them ¿gure it out.” N o t s u r p r i s i n g l y, coworking spaces in Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia as a social hub or venue for business networking - are being launched by expats as well; a testament to the growing community of foreigners moving to the region in the search for greener pastures, better climate, new adventure or career opportunities. Steve Munroe and Peter Wall, both Canadians, launched Hubud (Bali’s ¿rst coworking space) in Ubud after searching for a way to work independently – minus the isolation that often comes with being a freelancer or entrepreneur. “Coworking is growing faster in Asia than any there region in the world,” says Munroe. “If you’re like us, you’re very busy with the things we are trying to accomplish in our own little parts of the world. But we wanted to create a sense of community amongst ourselves; connect with others who understand the passion behind the movement and the challenges that go along with it.” Well beyond Indonesia’s borders, the composition of workers, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers who call Asia home is rapidly changing in this world of easy travel, remote working and aspirations to greater work-life balance. Why travel, sightsee and try to pack it all in over two weeks, when you can live as a digital nomad, working anywhere in the world? As a result, coworking spaces are popping up in some of the most unexpected places, tropical islands and locations that were once known only as tourism destinations. Far from the madding crowds and traf¿c of Bangkok, you’ll ¿nd James Abbott, a 37-year old digital nomad from the UK, who has called Thailand home since 2009. Once employed as a diving instructor, he now runs the newly opened KoHUB on Koh Lanta - an island ringed by coral reefs, sparkling blue waters and spectacular sunsets. But sunsets and diving have recently taken a back seat to launching and operating his space. “I have a work permit, I’m living there, very much ingrained in society – which is a nice ¿t,” says Abbott. “But it’s quite stressful. The last 2 or 3 months, I haven’t had the work-life balance that I was looking for.” Abbott admits that he wasn’t prepared for the frantic pace that he’s had to work at the past few months.” I’ve gone from being a digital nomad to a digital-going-nowhere.” Not everyone has the luxury, as Abbott does, of pointing members in the direction of a beckoning stretch of sand within sight of his space. Some entrepreneurs – Hananto in Jakarta among them - open spaces in the middle of traf¿c-choked, skyscraper-¿lled cities. But even in high-rise of¿ce buildings, it helps to add a creative twist to the coworking concept. Take the midtown space in Kuala Lumpur called Paper + Toast, the ¿rst one to open in that city. Incorporating food into the plan was a given, says Wardy Noor, Paper + Toast’s 35-year old

director. “Being Malaysian, we need to eat. Everything revolves around eating. Even when we work or have conferences, there’s always food. For Malaysians, it’s all about food: Eat, eat, eat.” A kitchen was integrated into the design - but only as a compliment to the working space. “Then, big corporate companies started to use our space for meetings and events,” says Noor. “They asked us to cater the event. So the kitchen expanded into catering. Now we have a central kitchen, with a staff of about 10, including two or three cooks, delivery people and administration. We also supply to other cafés. Corporates will ask us for ¿nger foods and tapas for their product launches.” Although Noor never envisioned that catering would become such a success, the culinary spin-off has brought him closer to the dream of opening a second space. But Noor is not alone. Coworking hubs innovate by providing accommodations, exercise and gaming rooms, a rooftop for watching sunsets. Others are zeroing in on niche markets. Take Michaela Auchan. A New Zealand native, Auchan spent many years in Mumbai and now calls Singapore home – which is where, last summer, she set up Woolf Works, a “calm and relaxed” female-only club. Far from Singapore’s business district, Auchan stumbled upon a shop house, with good parking, a bakery and many restaurants nearby. “I wanted something a little different, in the suburbs, a beautiful quiet place to come and work really productively,” says Auchan. “The idea was to have a space for women to come and put themselves and their work ¿rst, without worrying about home and kids.” The name of her space has a story of its own. “While I was thinking about how it would all come about, I picked up Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, which I’d studied a couple of years ago. This time I read it again in a new light and it ¿t in with the bigger picture of Woolf Works; how a coworking space for women could provide this room of one’s own.” Whether you envision a cozy room or large cubicle-free space, many agree that coworking in Asia is still in its infancy. For some, the dream and reality have not yet converged. Hananto, of Jakarta’s Comma, says that more focus should be placed on the ideal of a shared space and community. Twenty-year old Michael Chrisani’s experience is emblematic of the challenges facing those who run and join coworking spaces; too much isolation and segregation. The Jakarta native (who studied advertising in Australia) “got stuck in Ubud” while visiting his sister in 2014. After a short stint working at Hubud, he decided to strike out on his own, setting up a design and creative services company. Chrisani wants to help local Indonesian businesses such as a Balinese couple that runs a juice bar in Canggu – compete in the g r o w i n g marketplace. He still comes to Hubud – but only for the internet. “It’s a great place, with great architecture,” says Michael, “but it’s missing the community part. People will often talk to someone only because they can help them out, rather than just anyone. I’d like to see more events where people are doing something together, not just renting out tables and chairs.” That said, Munroe recognizes that “coworking is relatively new and we are all learning as we go.” For many, the bene¿ts, networking and social opportunities that are generated in coworking spaces outweigh the downsides, attracting to this lifestyle ever more technomads and freelancers across Asia – and the globe. It’s a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. Thinking of joining the coworking movement? Choose from one of the coworking spaces popping up around Bali – or head overseas to learn more: The Global Coworking Unconference Conference is going to California, Australia and Canada. Africa will get its ¿rst dedicated conference on coworking, in Cape Town.
