Solemen Special Issue

A joint Bali Advertiser & Solemen Production

How It All Began... As is often the case, big things are born from chance encounters. Such a fate-defining encounter happened in 2012 when retired British expat Robert Epstone met Sarah Chapman. Robert had retired to Bali with wife Shelley in 2009 after a fast paced 40-year career in the fashion business in London and Shanghai. He soon grew bored with the lazy life of lounging and loafing and was casting around for something more inspiring and worthwhile to fill his lazy days in paradise. While travelling around Bali Robert saw firsthand that there was a far less glamorous side to this proclaimed paradise and that life can be a raw deal for the many disadvantaged people on the island. He wanted to help them and created a quirky but effective way to raise awareness of the extreme poverty rampant in Bali’s more remote areas. He set about organising a series of much publicised barefoot walks around Bali with a couple of friends who called themselves the ‘Solemen’ and founded Yayasan Solemen Indonesia in 2011, with his personal pledge to go barefoot until the charity had raised 1 million dollars to benefit the poor and disadvantaged people in Bali. The walks were a good way to publicise the plight of the poor but it wasn’t until Robert met Sarah that things began to click and fall into place.

As so often happens, serendipity put him on the path to that fateful meeting with Sarah, a retired British nurse, who at the time was spending 3 days a week braving horrible roads on the back of a motor bike on frequent trips to Sidemen in Karangasem in order to care for Ani, a poor, abused and severely malnourished 8 year-old girl weighing only 6 kilos. Robert met Sarah as a result of her Facebook appeal asking for help with Ani. Hearing about Ani and the plight of malnutrition that is rife among the poor in Bali Robert and Sarah decided to work together and created the Solemen Outreach programme. Malnutrition and poverty are the hidden blights on this exotic vacation paradise. Most visitors are not aware of the chronic malnutrition rate in Indonesia. In 2015 the World Bank reported that 37.2 percent of Indonesian children under the age of five (8.4 million children) are stunted and

excessively small for their age due to chronic malnutrition. As such, Indonesia has the fifth-highest level of stunting in the world. Malnutrition is most frequently the result of poverty and it affects both children and adults. Poverty also prevents people from seeking professional care when disease strikes or accidents happen. From the start it was a given that the Solemen Outreach mission would be a very ambitious effort. By the latter part of 2012 Sarah had organised a mobile Solemen Outreach team, a rapid-response unit of doctors and therapists who are now deployed all over Bali to care for the many cases of sick, poor and destitute people (called SoleBuddies) who need immediate intervention and care but lack the financial means to seek medical assistance. The team is non-stop on the road to help the disadvantaged, to bring hope and solutions. ‘Disadvantaged’ is rather a mild word to describe the horrendous conditions the team encountered among the cases it started to care for. The scourge of malnutrition, extreme poverty, endemic, untreated and far advanced diseases or unassisted disabilities, people locked up or chained like animals and suffering from undiagnosed mental illness, people with absolutely no access to medical care or who live in acute poverty and destitution- all these conditions are daily fare for the team. The work is huge and relentless but the Solemen Outreach team focuses their efforts on finding and helping the hidden disadvantaged in Bali’s remote and difficult to reach areas where access to health care is poor or non-existent. In spite of a very slim shoestring budget and a lack of sustainable funding, they manage to book a phenomenal success rate. The team is very adept at targeting the help where it will have the biggest impact and they love making a big difference in the lives of those under their care. The Outreach team is supported by a solid administration team who also focus their efforts on PR activities and fundraising to provide the seed money to fund the SoleBuddies’ medical care. The funding is provided by partners, donors and other supporters.

When asked what motivates her to continue the heavy burden of facing illness and despair on a daily basis, Sarah mentions she experienced hunger and poverty as a child and hates the thought of anybody suffering needlessly. To Sarah, seeing even one child affected by hunger and malnutrition is a huge force that shapes her drive and perseverance in the face of so much destitution. “I feel I owe Bali so much as here is where I am at peace. The O u t r e a c h programme is my way of giving back to my adopted home.” To this day Robert still goes barefoot. It has become his trademark, along with his long feathered locks and reminds him of his raison-d’être, a push to keep working in his main role of fundraising and educating the public in order to bring awareness of the many people in Bali who need a helping hand. His goal in life is to bring hope and help to the people who need it most. Sarah, as head of the Outreach team, is the perfect counterpart to bring this dream into reality and see to it that the mission of Solemen stays alive and vibrant. Because the current Outreach team is overworked and overstretched, both Robert and Sarah dream about putting more mobile units on the road or establishing branch Solemen care centres in various parts of Bali. There is definitely a need for more doctors and medical care personnel as the caseload of SoleBuddies is increasing every month. This also means that there is more need for sustainable funding. The Solemen team scrapes the bottom of the barrel most every month so the search for partners with deep or modest pockets is going on…

Where are they now? Ani unfortunately died before her life could be saved. When Sarah was caring for Ani, bringing food and nutritional milk supplements, it became apparent her condition was more complex than a simple case of malnutrition. Ani was also suffering from painful glue ear which prevented her from hearing and speaking. Worse, she had an undiagnosed cleft palate which made it hard for her to eat. Assessments at Sanglah hospital and the SMILE foundation were arranged and while Ani was waiting for surgery, she died very suddenly after aspirating milk and developing pneumonia. Sarah’s compassionate nature and urge to help and bring succour are the driving force behind her work with Solemen.

Solemen Special Issue What is it all about? The Solemen foundation is a very visible charity. At any time, at any place –and decidedly in the most remote and inaccessible locations – you can encounter one of the Solemen Outreach vehicles. They’re bright with colourful decals and partner logos and they transport the Solemen Outreach team with sundry medical supplies, food and household basics to the homes –sometimes just a basic shelter or a hovel – of the poorest and most unfortunate people in Bali. The Outreach team of doctors, nurses and therapists regularly visit the ‘SoleBuddies’, a caseload of patients who suffer from chronic or untreated medical conditions, malnutrition, extreme poverty and destitution.

While there are quite a few NGOs in Bali assisting poor people with health and poverty issues, the Solemen’s niche is to root out those who are not served by any of the existing programmes, i.e. the people who live in the most remote areas of Bali, those whose conditions are hidden by their families and communities, and those who simply do not know how to obtain needed help. These are the people who fall through the cracks, so to speak, and they are sometimes hard to find. Yayasan Solemen is making it a point to find them, often through referral, the village grapevine or by interviewing local people about the situations in their communities. A typical day for the Outreach team will see them following up on the conditions of SoleBuddies under treatment, visiting disabled or elderly shut-ins, bringing food parcels and nutritional supplements to malnourished families or basic living necessities to SoleBuddies living in dire poverty, checking up on the progress of mental health patients; and yes, encountering new cases and arranging for assessments and treatments. Many of the cases they care for are children with endemic skin diseases or genetic heart conditions, people with difficult to treat or incurable diseases and those that do not want or are afraid to seek ‘outside’ help. Of special note are the SoleBuddies with undiagnosed mental health issues, especially those in chains or locked up in makeshift cells. These cases are a substantial part of the Outreach care whose aim is to rehabilitate, reintegrate and release as soon as possible once risks are minimalised under guidance of Dr Rai, Solemen’s volunteer psychiatrist. Besides the daily work, the Solemen team will also react to emergency situations or the aftermath of natural disasters, like earthquakes, volcano eruptions and flash floods, to bring quick disaster relief supplies to alleviate the stress of losing homes and valuables and tend to essential medical needs. Then there is the SoleHouse, a warm and welcoming

recovery centre for SoleBuddies needing a place to stay while undergoing pre- or post hospitalisation treatment at one of the Denpasar medical facilities. The SoleHouse is part of the new Solemen Centre in Kuta which also houses the administrative office, a warehouse, the Solemen Store, and a vegetable garden. The SoleHouse offers free accommodation to 10 SoleBuddies and their families in brightly appointed and fully furnished rooms, complete with bathroom facilities, a fully functioning kitchen, a cheery common room and a play area for kids. The Solemen project roster is quite a handful and it takes a lot of money to keep things rolling across all the activity platforms. Operating costs are understandably high, especially for mental health medications (USD2000 per month), medical interventions that cannot be performed in Bali and to keep the Outreach team on the road. Right now, Solemen has a waitlist of 10 kids needing urgent, lifesaving heart surgery in Jakarta to correct congenital heart defects. While the BPJS government health programme covers most of the in-hospital costs, ancillary expenses like transportation for the SoleBuddies and their carers to/from Jakarta, accommodation, etc, is not covered and can mount up as some of those conditions require lengthy stays, sometimes as long as one month.

How do they do it? Solemen does not receive sustainable funding or financial assistance from government or nongovernment programmes or big corporations with deep CSR pockets. Instead they rely on donations from partners, private donors and volunteers. The Bali business community has been a great help. Partners like Bali Dynasty Resort, Hard Rock Hotel and other Bali hotels contribute monthly, mainly through a $ per stay guest programme or various other CSR contributions such as the vehicles used by the Outreach team. Other monthly donor partners like Finns Beach Club, Frankenstein’s Laboratory and various small businesses organise regular fundraising events. Grants and crowdfunding can help in extreme individual cases but due to the lengthy and arduous process of drafting the petitions and setting up the crowdfunding sites, it is only a minor part of funding.

How can you help? – There are several ways you can help Solemen’s work with Bali’s poorest and most disadvantaged. • Monetary and material donations are always welcome, no matter how small. Even the loose change in your pocket. The Solemen donation boxes at many Bali merchandisers will lighten your pockets gladly. • If you are one of those individuals who like the ‘direct benefit’ touch you can buy a one-time or monthly food parcel for a family unable to afford even the most basic food necessities and are malnourished as a result. A basic food parcel @ IDR 800.000 includes rice , noodles, chicken , eggs, cooking oil , tea, coffee, sugar, tempeh, tofu and a few days’ supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. • For the severely malnourished a monthly supplement of high protein milk for children and adults costs IDR 600.000. • Check one or more items off the Solemen Wish List, available on the website. Items constantly in need are Melolin, colostomy bags, QC creams/lotion/wash, nutritional products, baby supplies and wheelchairs. • Buy a SoleTeddy or other merchandise from the Solemen Store in Kuta or online. If you are a merchandiser, you can stock any or all of the items. • Sponsor the education of a young SoleBuddy. For poor families education is secondary to putting food on the table resulting in many children not being able to attend school. Just think what an enduring difference you can make in the life of a youngster when you give that child a chance to learn and prosper. • You can also sponsor part or all of the medical care, equipment or medication for a SoleBuddy. Detailed profiles are on the Solemen website. • Hotels and resorts can join the $ per stay programme which is free and easy to administer. • If you are a skilled doctor, nurse or health practitioner, you can dedicate some of your time to volunteer with the Outreach team. Sometimes it takes very little to create a big wave of lasting benefits and make an enormous difference in the lives of the SoleBuddies.

Solemen’s staffing including the Outreach team consists of paid employees and volunteers. More medical practitioners and long-term skilled volunteers are urgently needed to supplement the Outreach team. Due to the constantly increasing caseload of SoleBuddies (over 2000 at this time) Solemen’s expenses increase incrementally every month. They may be a visible and popular charity but they are not rich by any means. The outlay for monthly operating expenses regularly scratches the bottom of the kitty and since Solemen never refuses to take on new cases, they are regularly operating at a deficit. Consequently, the Solemen people are always grateful for donations, assistance and help.

Solemen Special Issue The Snakeskin and the Butterfly Children Some rare and incurable genetic skin diseases seem to be endemic to Bali and they affect children in great numbers. The Solemen Outreach team is caring for a number of SoleBuddies with conditions like Harlequin’s Ichthyosis (snake skin), and Epidermolysis Bullosa (butterfly skin). There are no known cures for these conditions and the medical care is restricted to alleviating the painful symptoms. These diseases severely affect the quality of life for the unfortunates who suffer from them. Because of the unsightly appearance of their skin, children are often bullied at school. Consequently, many of them refuse to attend school and therefore severely impact their future lives negatively. Adult sufferers are often shut-ins as the disease becomes more progressive as they age and requires constant bathing, application of creams and ointments, preventing them from leading normal lives. The implications are manifold: economic, social, educational, mental. Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare and extremely agonising subcutaneous condition that causes the skin to break out in painful blisters as a result of even minor friction or abrasion. It is an uncommon disease as only about half a million people are affected globally, males as well as females. This genetic condition is also known as ‘butterfly skin’ due to the extreme vulnerability of the skin that is fragile like butterfly wings, breaks easily and constantly erupts in painful sores and blisters comparable to thirddegree burns. The severity of this disease can range from mild to fatal. Complications may include infections, narrowing of the oesophagus, squaemous cell skin cancer, and the need for amputations. There is no known cure for this condition and the only treatment to alleviate it is with a strict regimen of wound care and prevention of abrasions and infections. A few of the SoleBuddies under care of the Outreach team brave the implications of their dreaded disease and try to lead a productive life. One such poster boy is Wayan Dik, now 20 years old, who came under Solemen’s care when he was 14 years old. The skin all over Wayan’s body is fragile and breaks very easily, just like butterfly wings. This disease also caused his fingers and toes to fuse together so his dexterity was severely limited. Wayan has an indomitable spirit and a creative bent so despite his debilitating condition and his hand deformities he found a great outlet for his creativity by crafting resourceful lamps with lollipop sticks. His lamp designs were actually very cool so he was actively supported by Solemen in developing his talents as a craftsman and he was able to market them to local hotels

and interior design stores. Solemen also arranged plastic surgery to separate his webbed fingers but even with the operation Wayan has limited use and dexterity in his hands and fingers. Again, the spirit prevailed and Wayan started making drawings shortly after the operation. The theme of his sketches is drawn from his Balinese culture, featuring religious and folkloric figures. They are quite good and he has become an absolutely inspired artist. Wayan the artist is also Wayan the entrepreneur and he started selling his art to friends and family in his village. He also creates bags with beautiful designs and Solemen plans to help him market his creations in the future. He now earns a respectable living from his efforts and his beautiful sketches especially are coveted by art collectors. The most wonderful benefit has been Wayan’s decision to give back and share with other disadvantaged children 50% of all funds received from the sale of his work. Wayan’s undaunted courage allowed him to blossom despite his disability and health wise he is doing relatively well though he needs occasional blood transfusions. Other SoleBuddies afflicted with the same condition have not fared as well. The Solemen Outreach team is currently also caring for 10 year-old Yudi whose younger brother Yuda died last year from complications of EB. Yudi has a new 8 month-old baby brother also sadly born with the same disease. Yudi needs frequent blood transfusions but is doing ok. A brave little girl by the name of Eka Sasmita previously developed squaemous cell carcinoma to her foot and had a lower leg amputation earlier this year. More sad news followed when she developed malignant cells on her stump and possible secondaries in her liver. More tests are planned to decide on treatment. Each EB sufferer is different and displays different complications. Often symptoms worsen as these kids grow older and their life span is often compromised by complications arising from infected or abnormally developing skin lesions. Harlequin Ichthyosis (HI) is another rare and severe genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin. Infants with this condition are born with very hard plates of thick skin in a diamond shaped pattern that covers most of their bodies and crack and split apart. The skin forms large, diamond-shaped plates that are separated by deep cracks looking like f i s s u r e s . Sufferers can display severe facial deformities as the plates pull and distort cranial and facial features

NC/Ns/G-28 August 19

and can restrict breathing and eating. This affects the shape of the eyelids, nose, mouth, and ears, and limits movement of arms and legs. Respiration is also affected as the inflexible skin impedes the expansion of the chest wall and restricts drawing in enough air. This can lead to hypoventilation and respiratory failure. Patients are often dehydrated, as their plated skin does not retain water well. Harlequin Ichthyosis is caused by mutations in a gene that is essential for the normal development of skin cells and in the formation of fats in the outermost layers of skin, hence the hard and inflexible plates of skin. In the past, the disorder was nearly always fatal, whether due to dehydration, infection (sepsis), restricted breathing or other related causes. The most common cause of death was systemic infection and sufferers rarely survived for more than a few days. However with improved neonatal intensive care and early-start treatment most sufferers will survive. This disease is almost the antithesis of the Epidemolysis Bullosa that affects SoleBuddy Wayan and it is difficult to say which prognosis is worse as both diseases are incurable and only the symptoms can be treated. Thirteen year-old Komang Gita and 15 year-old Dewi both suffer from HI and despite their health issues they both attend school. Komang is in the top 5 of his class and dreams of being a teacher. When Solemen arranged a meeting between these 2 kids, Komang was actually very surprised to see that he was not the sole HI patient. In reality there are more SoleBuddies with HI like Baby Made Rendra who came under Solenen’s care at 2 months old. His family is very poor and was not able to cope with this to them unknown disease. The treatment for HI sufferers requires a very rigid, fastidious and time consuming skin care regime. They must soak 3 times a day in bi-carbonate soda infused water followed by a skin scrub and moisturising using QV products and polyvisc eye gel. They must be regularly monitored by Dermatologists and eye specialists. Where needed, Solemen supplements their diet with nutritious milk supplements. QV cream is not available in Bali so Solemen is making a continuous effort to source it in Australia, asking Australia bound travellers to purchase it for our skin kids. If you can procure some QV products from your home countries, give a thought to the unfortunate kids in Bali suffering from these disfiguring diseases. This is an excellent example of how a small donation can bring a huge relief to a few SoleBuddies.

Restaurant & Food

Restaurant Review Re-visit the 1960’s! Cosmic Diners are different! How often can you say that about a new restaurant that opens in Bali? So many just re-hash what everyone else is doing, and sometimes not even getting that right! Cosmic are American diners as seen through the eyes of an alert young Balinese who spent some considerable time in America during his training for future life in the family business. He returned to Bali full of ideas; and what is more important, the ideas are working! First was the Cosmic on Sunset Road, closely followed by the one at Lippo Mall, Tuban. However the latest at Sanur was a further step ahead. The attention to design detail at Cosmic Sanur is amazing, the concept of a small intimate train carriage was brilliant and has become a teen hangout, so Instagramable. This area can also be booked for private functions, even photo shoots. Everything about the place is 1960’s America, even the background music.

Other breakfast options include the classic Eggs Benedict, with a bit of a twist, poached eggs, smoked ham, sautéed spinach, toasted sourdough, Hollandaise sauce, a Mexican breakfast of scrambled eggs, chorizo, refried red kidney beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, tortilla chips or a trendy one from the cafes of New York City; Ricotta Hotcakes, with mixed berries compote, fresh banana, whipped maple butter & honey. Also a more trendy café than diner fare is a choice of salads; Pan-fried Chicken & Avocado or Black & White Sesame Crusted Tuna. The same could be said of pasta dishes. Fusilli with spicy chorizo, fettuccine with meat balls, penne with chicken and mushroom or an old American favourite; Truffle Mac & Cheese, sprinkled with bacon crumble. Diner food is traditionally fast and satisfying. What could fill the bill better than a juicy hamburger. Cosmic seem to have perfected the budget hamburger, even though they only use wagyu beef [a blend of chuck, brisket and short rib]. The Cosmic hamburgers, the patties all 150 gram, can be original, with cheese or a number of other fancy ways. Surprisingly good! Cosmic would not qualify as an American Diner if there were no pancakes! As they are made fresh to order, a slight wait is necessary, never a problem when quality is at stake. Most are served as a dessert with a variety of fruits, creams and ice creams. However there s also a main meal version with buttermilk fried chicken, maple syrup of course!

Overall

: Great taste, value and fun!

More serious meals are also available, but like all else here are budget priced, and of consistent quality. A Chicken Parmigiana is one of those standby dishes, always good. Simple and satisfying,

However no matter how fancy the icing is on the cake is it is the taste that counts most, and here Cosmic is a winner! The dishes may be simple, but their construction and attention to detail are excellent. When you first order at Cosmic you are presented with a small carton of popcorn [it is an American diner], and what I thought was very strange; a shot glass of water! I soon discovered that in fact the small glass contained coconut water; cool, fresh and sweet. A pre-warning that everything here is just that little bit different, so good for a change! Breakfast, any time of the day! Why can’t everyone do that? Why do they all have to copy old fashioned hotels and cut off at 11.00, or even 10.00 a.m? Breakfast was my first try at Cosmic. I do enjoy a ‘tourist breakfast’ when traveling so why not try it occasionally at home? The Morning After was the title and whilst it was hardly that for me the breakfast of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, chicken sausage and two slabs of sourdough toast was perfect! Diners in the U.S.A. are often located on connecting roadways between residential areas and office/factory ones, so an all day breakfast is very popular with shift workers.

Being an American diner there must be a Hot Dog! They use a beef frankfurter, yellow mustard, ketchup with sweet onion & bacon jam with fries, However the beer-battered Fish & Chips is about as English as you can get, it comes with tartar and citrus salt, tastes good! A Pulled Pork Sandwich uses meat slowly cooked for 18 hours, cole slaw and BBQ sauce. Steak is essential and so are Baby Back Ribs. The Steak [rib-eye] is diner style with black pepper or mushroom, a touch of Europe with Bearnaise or café-style fancy in a shiraz reduction and trufled potatoes. After a couple of months and Cosmic Sanur had already added a small range of Asian influenced dishes that are popular in the cafes of the USA, Rice Bowls. Black Pepper Beef is shredded meat stir-fried in black pepper sauce topped with shavings of crisp onion. Pork Belly [pictured], double cooked in soy is another, sharing the bowl with a fried egg and sautéed corn kernels. Both are excellent but the Chicken version was perfect! The chicken, as fish, so often overcooked in Bali, was tender and moist. The use of chicken thighs instead of the more common breast provided more taste, a light infusion with teriyaki sauce just right, with broccoli and carrots sprinkled with garlic chips. A good simple dish! What a great addition to the Sanur dining scene, where same-same is usually the norm!

Body & Spirit

Beauty & Health Float Do you love Nyepi like I do, a night without lights without sound? Pure peace. Now can you imagine that times a Godzillion? Total darkness. Total silence. This is what you’ll discover in a floatation tank, what was formerly known as a sensory deprivation tank.

was told to take a shower first. Going naked is the policy here for your comfort. It was explained that the light in the bathroom would go out in about six minutes followed by the lights in the tank and then the music would shut off. The door is locked for your privacy.

The first tank was designed in 1954 by John C. Lilly, an American physician and neuroscientist. He designed the tank to study the origins of consciousness by cutting off all external stimuli.

I carefully climbed into the tank making sure not to slip on the glass floor. The water is body temperature so it felt nice and warm. On the side is a spray bottle and small towel in case I splashed any water in the eyes. Easing into the buoyant water I was immediately floating. I closed my eyes and stretched out my arms and began some deep breathing to relax. A few minutes later the lights went out and I was in complete darkness. I took more deep breaths to enhance my relaxation. Then the music stopped. Black Silence.

His research took a controversial turn in the 1960s. That’s when he began experimenting with sensory deprivation while under the effects of LSD, a hallucinogenic, and ketamine, a fast-acting anesthetic that is known for its ability to sedate and create a trance-like state. In the 1970s, commercial float tanks were created and began being studied for possible health benefits. The popularity of floating took off and you can now find floatation tanks throughout the world. It took a while for floating to come to Bali, which now has three centers.

My mind raced around for some time but eventually I came to a state of total relaxation and peace. Some people sleep but I remained awake in a dream-like trance. Far too soon I thought, the music started again and the lights in the pool came on. Shortly the bathroom became light and I resisted opening my eyes, wishing to stay in my Zen state. I slowly opened my eyes and took my time rousing myself to climb out of the tank. I felt completely spaced out. But my bladder was urging me to hurry.

• Remove all of your clothing and jewelry. • Shower before entering the tank. • Enter the tank • Gently lie back and let the buoyancy of the water help you float. • Music plays for 6 minutes at the start of your session to help you relax. • Float for an hour. • Music plays for the last five minutes of your session. • Get out of the tank once your session has ended. • Shower again and get dressed. • To help you relax and get the most out of your session, it is recommended that you eat something approximately 30 minutes before your session. It’s also helpful to avoid caffeine for four hours beforehand. • Shaving or waxing before a session is not recommended as the salt in the water can irritate the skin. Friends have asked if floating is like meditation. Not really. It’s different. Your mind eventually stops racing without focus. For me, it was like being in a dreamy state. Feeling very pleasant and completely relaxed. It’s the best way to eliminate stress. Try it, you’ll probably love it and at Terapung Float Club they have packages of 12 floats to save you money.

After a shower I dressed and went to the toilets to blow my hair dry. Nothing felt rushed, I took my time taking the elevator to the third floor to the Zen room where an attendant was waiting with a small pot of lemongrass, ginger and cinnamon tea. She smiled and assured me that there was no sugar in the tea. Then I was left alone to collect my scattered thoughts.

My friend told me about this new spa on Drupadi, which I thought she said was called Flirtation. I drove up and down Drupadi looking but couldn’t find a spa named Flirtation. During dinner I asked her about it and she laughed, “Its Floatation.” She then described exactly where it’s located. I used to float a lot in Vancouver in the early nineties and in Thailand so was excited to learn that there was a floatation center in Seminyak. Terapung Float Club is a very modern and Zen-like center consisting of four floors with six tanks, yoga, IV therapy, spa treatments and a Zen relaxation room to chill out in after your float.

What are the benefits of floating?

After filling in a consultation form I was escorted to the media room to watch a three minute video explaining what to expect. Then I was taken to a hair wash station where I was treated to a shampoo and marvelous head massage for several minutes to get me in the mood. With a towel wrapped around my head we entered the elevator to the first floor where there are three tanks. The toilets were pointed out and I was advised to use them before my session. I was shown into my float room where a large open egg shaped tank, which doesn’t close, occupied most of the room. It’s about 2.5 meters long and 2 meters wide. Two lights kept changing colours in the pool which was less than half a meter deep. The panic button was pointed out to me in case I needed to get out before an hour was finished. There was a very modern bathroom with shower and amenities and

How does it work?

Studies suggest time spent floating in a sensory deprivation tank may have some benefits, such as muscle relaxation, better sleep, decrease in pain, and decreased stress and anxiety. It may increase originality, imagination, and intuition, which can all lead to enhanced creativity. Furthermore, due to the 500 kilograms of Epsom salts in the solution, makes floating a detoxifying process, as you absorb the magnesium which is great for the skin, hair, and body in general.

The water in a sensory deprivation tank is heated to skin temperature and nearly saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), providing buoyancy so you float more easily. You enter the tank nude and are cut off from all outside stimulation, including sound, sight, and gravity when the tank’s lid or door is closed. As you float weightless in the silence and darkness, the brain is supposed to enter into a deeply relaxed state. How to prepare to float. • You arrive at the flotation center or spa, showing up early if it’s your first visit.

BOOMER CORNER Oh, Those Aching Joints

associated with aging and commonly affects the fingers, knees, hips, and lower back. While there is no ‘cure’ for it, movement and exercise can prevent arthritis from getting worse. There is evidence that cartilage can regenerate if it hasn’t been completely destroyed.

I don’t know about you, but I get stiff these days. Half an hour sitting on the floor or hunched over my computer seizes up the joints… not just my problematic hips but my knees and neck as well. So when I heard there was a joint guy in Ubud, I was very interested in meeting him. Chris Fox is a Swedish mobility specialist trained in Functional Range Conditioning, a system developed initially for athletes by Canadian chiroptractor Dr Andreo Spina. It incorporates a range of movements called Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) which prevent joint degeneration, optimise mobility, strengthen joints, improve balance and decrease the chance of injury. Although the system was developed for athletes I immediately saw the benefit for my increasingly creaky demographic. Chris has firm ideas about joint health and aging. “My approach is very simple,” he told me. “Movement is medicine. As we age, we dry up. Inflammation (arthritis) comes from not moving the tissue. Movement is the best anti-inflammatory for the joints. When a joint is painful, we tend to move less, but that is the source of the pain. There may be anxiety that movement may damage the painful joint. Neurological tightness can hinder our movements, apprehension of moving can prevent it. Pills and ointments only treat the symptoms, not the source, of the pain.

By focusing on moving the joints in their full range of motion, we can reverse the aging process and inflammation “Our sedentary lifestyles are responsible for so much physical imbalance. I teach people how to move the eight major joints of the body: the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, lumbar spine, pelvis/femur, knee and ankle. We learn to isolate and move them in their rotational or dynamic range which helps assess where the pain and pinching is originating. We adapt by addressing these weaknesses in specific joints. If there’s a pinching sensation, we go into the area and focus on strengthening it. Even after one class there can be a change.” There are many forms of arthritis with osteoarthritis being the most common. Arthritis is progressive; the longer you leave it, the more damage is done to your joints. Osteoarthritis is

“Arthritis is not normal,” states Dr Michael Berenstein, a former classmate of Dr Andreo Spina. “Its common, but common and normal are very different. Arthritis is the body shutting down a joint. When we cease to use a joint, the nervous system shuts it down. Just like a corporation that shuts down an unprofitable sector, our brain decides that if we’re not going to use the joint, we might as well shut it down. There is no escaping arthritis, other than using our bodies the way they’re intended to be used.” Tissue adapts to what we do the most. If we don’t move, our tissues adapts to that and our range of motion decreases. The more load we put on tissue, the more it adapts and becomes stronger. This all sounded good in theory, but I’m a ‘show-me’ kind of person. So I joined a small class of retirees aged 65 to 75 for three hour-long lessons on Controlled Articular Rotation in Ubud last month. Chris knows his stuff. We sat in a row of straight chairs while he explained how joints work and led us through an hour of very focused movements. He observed, assessed and suggested individual programs. We felt very safe. By the end of the first class we were already moving more easily. By the end of the third class, after three weeks of practicing at home, my classmates had this to say: J: “I feel I am walking more strongly and I can stand on one leg (both sides) which I could not before!! So I have far more stability.”

S: ” Definitely a change… general improvements in my right knee which has been a bit unpredictable for some time... it is probably about 90% okay now. My balance is better; I can stand on one leg now, like the old days! And my hips are much better, so much more flexible, the way they were many years ago. The improvement is quite magical.” X: “I tend to be rather skeptical this kind of thing and certainly was doubtful when I started with Chris. But there is no denying that my rather low energy levels have improved noticeably since we started and that my walking has become less bothersome. A few days ago, I suddenly found that my recently quite painful arthritic left thumb is barely hurting anymore. I will say that my list of aches and pains has become shorter recently, in fact after I started attending this class.” As for me, I am moving much more easily than before. Of course, you have to do the movements daily, but because no equipment is required they can be visited during the day while taking a break from the computer or sitting in a traffic jam. “CARs is a good foundation but any kind of movement is positive”, Chris says. “ I want my clients to not hire me to take care of your joints. I want to teach you to do it yourself.” Chris meets small to large groups in hour-long sessions weekly in Ubud and Sanur, teaching participants to move through the CARsq\. Private sessions are also available. After three classes he gives access to a brief video reminding participants of each movement. Contact Chris at chrisfoxyoga@gmail.com

Business & Travel

MONEY MATTERS This Could be of (High or Low) Interest to You! You have worked hard to make money and now you want to park some of it for a while and get it working for you. Not unnaturally you would like to seek out the best deals on interest rates.

The moral? A promised return of 10% per annum or more must be treated with great caution.

Now if I told you that one very popular deal is currently offering an interest rate of minus 0.75% per annum you probably wouldn’t read any further. So I won’t mention it. Or at least, not until later.

Or at least, unless you add ‘to the extent of the security of the assets underpinning the guarantee’. Even the sovereign country of Ireland was forced to add this disclaimer when it guaranteed deposits to shore up confidence in its banking system which was on the fringe of collapse in 2008.

There is no such thing as a ‘guaranteed’ investment

Would 20% to 50% in 8 days interest you? Now that sounds far more interesting than minus 0.75% but where can you find such an offer? Probably on your mobile phone as I did. I wasn’t actually looking for it but it came in as an unsolicited SMS. It had a website link that I checked out on a separate computer only to have it blocked by my anti-virus software. There was also a local number that I didn’t ring as that might register my own number as a potential customer and have my number sold on to database hunters. On Googling the company name another website popped up with a serious health warning about the company. Clearly I had not been singled out as a privileged investor.

Rupiah. If you are an expat living in Bali it would make sense to hold a certain amount of Rupiah but it would also be wise, based on historical currency movements, to hold longer term money in USD or the currency of your home country, especially if you plan to return at some point. If you are looking for the best rates locally, the same principles apply; there is a direct relationship between risk and return. This applies to all investments. You are likely to find a higher rate is offered by the smaller banks. This is because it is harder for them to attract funds than the larger banks. But in order to make a margin of profit for themselves they have to charge higher rates to borrowers. Their customers will often include those who are unable to borrow from the big banks. These loans will therefore tend to be at greater risk of default. In a very bad situation the ‘non-performing’ loans could break a bank. With prudent management the risk is low but it is there and it explains the higher rate of interest. You may rightly point out that the government guarantees deposits to a certain limit (as do most governments). But from past experience the recovery process can be slow and arduous. So where is this minus 0.75% interest rate?

Perhaps we should settle for 10% per annum? Disappointed, I let that offer go but my luck was in. An expat client based in Bali sent me an offer he had received by e-mail following a cold call (now banned by the way in many countries). The offer consisted of an annual interest rate of 10% with capital guaranteed. No details were offered and the website gave sparse information. Much of our industry went down this road a decade ago when similar offers turned to dust in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/9. At that time people were drawn to such investments since: 1) they offered steady returns - frequently around 10% per annum 2) they offered capital guarantees by way of secured assets 3) returns were not correlated with the stock markets that had been savaged in the financial crisis. The secured assets included commercial properties, student accommodations, forestry investments, insured litigation cases, even life insurance policies. So what went wrong? When credit dried up, the banks were in disarray; people were losing their jobs and homes and everyone needed cash. They needed to quickly withdraw money from their investments but found that the cash had run out, the banks had recalled their loans and the assets had plummeted in value amidst the many panic fire sales. Some post-crisis fund failures were due to mismanagement or fraud. Products offered by banks are usually very safe but when Lehmann Brothers collapsed the structured notes they had issued became worthless.

The correct terminology to use is ‘protected’ rather than guaranteed. Governments perhaps are the exception as they can indeed guarantee their deposits provided they have control over their currency (which Ireland in the Eurozone did not). US Treasury Bonds for example are among the ‘safest’ of investments but currently pay only 1.5% to 2% per annum. And they are guaranteed only in the sense that in a dire financial crisis the government could print as much money as they liked to honour the debt. So you would get your money back but its purchasing power could be decimated. In short there is no completely risk-free return in real terms. Why do deposit rates vary so widely? Many people have said why leave money in the bank in USD, Euro or GBP at little or no interest when you can get 5% to 6% in Rupiah in an Indonesian bank. The answer is that interest rates reflect the relative risk. When the Rupiah is stable, a Rupiah deposit account is perfectly fine, especially if you have regular outgoings in Rupiah. But when the USD is rising sharply against the Rupiah you may find a zero return in USD is more valuable than a 5% return in

The answer is in the ‘safe haven’ country of Switzerland. Many investors are nervous about the multiple threats to financial markets including Donald Trump’s trade wars, threats to peace in the Middle East, risks to oil supplies, indicators of a coming recession in the US, economies under pressure in Europe, Brexit etc., etc. Consequently many are seeking a safe haven for their cash. Gold is one beneficiary. It pays no interest and is costly to hold but it does offer the potential to rise in value in times of economic or political upheaval. The other traditional safe haven is the Swiss Franc. But Switzerland does not want to see money flooding in that it does not need, hence the minus rate of interest to stem the flow. Of course it doesn’t make sense to leave your money on deposit at negative rates for the long term. Eventually the capital would disappear altogether! However, this is an option available to those who want to preserve at least part of their capital in times of stress. Long term investors should not be influenced by all the ‘noise’ but remain focused on the positive long-term movements of the stock markets where real wealth can be built. Short term needs are different, and accepting a minus rate of interest is likely to be a much safer bet than the 20% to 50% return in 8 days that may pop up on your phone.

Arts Making A Difference The Balinale (Bali International Film Festival) opens September 24!

budding filmmakers might like to check out the workshops that will be offered at various times during the festival.

The importance of this festival is undeniable, with a record number of Indonesian film submissions this year. As always, the Balinale opens with its accompanying BalinaleX, the industry-insider, no-holds-barred, round table meetup of seasoned Hollywood players, local talents and Indonesian studio heavies.

Full program and schedule will be on the balinale.com website on September 1. Main screening venue is at the Sidewalk Jimbaran Cinemaxx.

This is a key activity for industry leaders and regional policy makers to meet with representatives of large western studios, create new paths for cooperation, and hash out the win-win scenarios sought by all players in international collaborations. Don’t forget that Balinale founder Deborah Gabinetti was the one who camped out at producer Brad Pitt’s development office before convincing him that his plan to film Eat Pray Love in the Philippines was unacceptable. You don’t have to have been one of the expats cast in a crowd scene to know that she made him do the right thing. This is a person actively raising Indonesia’s filmic profile. The provincial and Indonesian governments acknowledge the Balinale as an indispensable partner in the country’s cultural, political, and economic growth. This year’s Spotlight on Indonesia series within the festival may fill in a few cultural gaps western audiences have been slow to appreciate, while instilling pride in local film fans. We’ll all have the jump on some great new movies, attend Asian premieres, and get our vote for the audience choice award. The festival’s remarkable submissions screening team has a superb record for choosing extraordinary documentaries, entertaining features, and a lot of cultural surprises. You can expect to choose amongst 70 films from over 20 countries. One great tradition is the free children’s film on Sunday 29 September at Jalan Kartika Plaza Lippo Mall Cinemaxx. Bring a local family to this; it’s just one of the many community outreaches by the Balinale. Serious actors and

Word on the street says that Ubud will be the locale of a Balinale satellite event on Saturday the 28th. But check that website to be certain! * * Another must-see for cinephiles is MiniKino Film Week (MFW), an ambitious, grass-roots community-oriented, series of short film showings (both animated and live-action) which encourage discussions and constructive interactions between filmmakers and audience members. This year, the fifth annual offering, will reach out to audiences in various venues around the island, October 5 – 12.

In 2018 after last year’s festival wrapped, MiniKino organizers took films on the road to north Lombok, where earthquake victims were waiting out the reconstruction of their homes. Rotary Disaster Relief teams were there to help, and the pop-up festival was a wonderful diversion for the families taking refuge in tents. Visit their website, minikino.org/filmweek, and get a full festival pass for just Rp350,000. Gets you in the party, special swag, and access to all the movies. * * Something great is in store for the artist-driven movement of Cata Odata, the art space run by Ratna Odata in Penestenan, Ubud. She’s shutting down for a change of venue but drops a few hints for the creation of something worth waiting for, and worth participating in, continuing the

revolutionary line of Bali’s contemporary art scene. Artists and thinkers interested in the ecosystem of contemporary art in Bali, can check into Cata Odata, in Penestenan, opposite the Pura Dalem, on October 28 at 3pm for Belajar Mandiri, a forum / workshop (in Indonesian) about the state of visual arts. Call 08121212 6096 for more info. Cataodata.com. * * Ever wonder what you can do to step more carefully on the Earth, especially as an international traveler? Here’s a useful website, ethicaltraveler.org, which deserves a look, if not a bookmark on the task bar of every expat, every backpacker, and every jet setter. Diverse writers grapple with different governments’ application of human rights, ecology and the environment. Plenty of insights on how to use our power as travelers, to affect positive change and, maybe more simply, to stop tracking along with us the wrong kind of change. What countries deserve our dollars? Where is sexual harassment impossible to ignore? These are just a couple of the topics found there. I can’t say that every article is full of righteousness and truth, or that I even agree with some of the writers, but it starts a person focusing on the important consideration of ethical travel. May it help us all explore gently, or perhaps even develop a positive agenda. * * Got an intense interest in travel, art, and the environment? Check out this other website from The Avenue for Creative Arts, a hardworking desktop publisher. He’s got a great thing going with The Art of Travel, out of Singapore.

Can you live a Zero-Waste Life in Bali? On a worldwide level much hoopla surrounds waste management and the effort to clean up our soiled and littered planet. Some countries and communities are way ahead of the pack and most every country in the world is doing something to contain, limit or manage their waste.

Cleanup has many guises. But where does all that gathered waste go? You’re looking at a mountain of wasteables that are disposed of every day: detritus from gardens and households, restaurants, hotels and other small and big businesses, industrial and agricultural waste, mainly toxic chemicals. Resource management and zero waste are nice buzz phrases and embrace some lofty principles and philosophy. The accepted definition is that zero waste is a goal for people to embrace a lifestyle that emulates sustainable natural cycles where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use. On the theoretical level, proponents of zero waste are talking about ideal conditions, about our connection to nature – where, by the way, there is NO waste as Mother Nature recycles everything – and our role of being a part of it instead of feeling apart from it. They will tell you that waste is not waste until it’s wasted, which is something we should avoid or strive to ban from our life. To understand proper waste management, you have to apply whole system thinking, from beginning to end of the product cycle - which is often not the case. People tend to zero in on parts of the system like the production of consumables, the extraction of fossil fuels or raw materials to produce these consumables, the transportation and the huge carbon footprint of the product being moved from manufacturer to consumer, the packaging for those products which can take on many forms, the waste disposal and the intangibles such as health and social impacts, the struggle between eco (which embraces all of us) and ego (individual needs and wants). It starts with production – Experts claim that waste is inherently a design problem and should be rectified at the beginning by designing the product’s discarded materials to become the source for other users, exactly as happens in nature. In other words, products and their packaging should be designed to be re-used, recycled, repaired or

repurposed. With the understanding that production should also use clean energy, i.e. non-toxic or natural resources or elements, to manufacture them. The producer also needs packaging to safeguard his products during transportation but currently, not much is done to ensure the recyclable or compostable nature of this packaging so that we are inundated with unwanted plastic containers or wrappers, foil packets, Styrofoam packing and other unnatural materials that do not recycle themselves. All this to say that we end up with a lot of waste after the product is eaten, consumed, installed or in use. In Bali a lot of that is readily visible as garbage by the side of the roads, in the subaks, creeks, rivers and ocean. You also need to think about the electronic waste (with toxic components) you produce after you upgrade that old computer, buy that new hand phone or tablet, even replace your dead batteries or burned-out light bulbs. What about your household toxics like paint, solvents, cleaning products? Where do your old appliances and cars end up? Here in Bali, none of that gets properly recycled or collected when its end-of-life phase is reached. Zero waste thinking must start with producers, designers and engineers who should be rethinking the planned obsolescence philosophy of manufactured goods and build more durable products, re-engineer throw-away packaging and design something that precludes single-use packaging. Computer hardware and appliances should be built so that their various parts can be separated and recoverable; chemicals and toxic materials should be substituted with natural products. The resources used to build the products should be investigated, reviewed and replaced with sustainable or renewable energy to fit in with zero waste philosophy, heeding the caveat that even compostable packaging may require trees to be felled.

limited. But among all the imports, ask yourself how many are really necessary and how many are sheer wants instead of needs. Do we really need blueberries grown in Chile, or beans from Kenya? Present initiatives – Many communities in the western world have made great strides in managing their waste products. Household and industrial waste is collected, sorted, recycled, composted or otherwise diverted from landfills or incineration. Some places, like San Francisco manages to divert 80% of their collected waste which is the highest recycling and compost rate in North America; communities in Flanders come close with the highest residential waste diversion rate of Europe with 73%; others are not far behind. Some countries in Europe have enacted laws to force producers to take back their containers or packaging, even their obsolete or end-of-life products for repurposing or recycling. In Bali only very modest results have been booked regardless of the effort that has gone into containing and managing some of our waste. Plastic bags have been banned though not from all places, a few recycling centres are in operation and cleanup crews are most everywhere. However, with our overflowing landfills and untold waste that still makes its way to the seas surrounding us, we are still near the bottom of the worldwide cleanup effort. We have some way to go to come even close to the zero waste goal. Waste collection and management is still not a big priority here and the government is hardly supportive in terms of providing adequate funding for the setup of better systems. Conclusion – Is zero waste a chimera? Understand that zero waste is a philosophy, not yet reality, a guidance to approach the perfect zero waste ways of nature. In order to attain that goal our waste economy must be morphed into a circular economy where waste is eliminated and resources are continually re-used on a model of production that practices the ‘borrow, use, reuse and return’ philosophy. Zero waste on a practical level means we do not waste or waste less.

Have you ever thought about the side effects of waste? Climate change springs to mind, air pollution and toxic drainage in our soils and water resources. Also diseases caused by bad environments and air, soil and water pollution; social and cultural impacts. The list is depressing. Transportation causes a huge carbon footprint as many products are shipped from far-away places. A good deal is of necessity like in Bali, where local production is very

In the end we all bear responsibility to work towards a zero waste life, whether we are consumers, politicians, or corporate bigwigs. As individuals, consumers and professionals we can choose to consume less or more responsibly; to bear pressure on producers by refusing to buy their unwholesome products or their un-compostable or unrecyclable packaging; we can pressure our politicians to enact better waste management laws. It is still an uphill struggle but you can start here and now to do your bit to be a responsible waste manager.

Building & Maintenance

It’s the water that gets you I recently met a couple visiting Bali. The man was not happy, “I’ve got Bali belly” he said. “It was that warung we went to last night”. “It’s usually the water that gets you” I replied. Years ago, I had learned the hard way. When I first came to Indonesia in the 70’s I was visiting a piece of land near Bogor. It’s a long story but, in short, there was a border dispute over a river, I ended up wading in the river and within hours had amoebic dysentery. I got very sick, lost two stones in weight, and it took me three months to find a doctor who could give me a cure. Since then, I have always been careful around water and, as a result, have gone for years without stomach problems. In contrast, a friend of mine always has problems, “stop cleaning your teeth in the well water” I tell him. “I’m sure it was that warung” the man went on. “What did you eat?” I asked, “Fried rice” he replied. “Fried rice is freshly cooked in a hot wok and is usually pretty safe,” I said. I traced it back. “What were you doing 4 hours before you started the symptoms?”. “We went to Ubud.” “Did you have anything to eat or drink?” “Only a glass of fruit juice from a warung.” “With ice in it?” “Yes.” “Do you know where the ice came from?” “No, but I was fine, we even went whitewater rafting afterwards, it was great.” “Brownwater rafting?” I said, “and did they throw you in t h e w a t e r a t t h e e n d ? ” “Yes,” he said slowly as a light went on somewhere in the

deep crevices of his brain. “It’s usually the water that gets you” I repeated. If you live in Bali and you want to avoid the galloping trots you need to take care with your water supply. Some water comes from wells and unless it has been treated, it cannot be trusted. You don’t know how deep the well is or whether groundwater or a nearby septic tank is contaminating the water. A recent case involved five villas in a complex with a shared well. Some of the residents complained of regular bouts of illness and eventually got the water tested. It was found to be contaminated with faeces. In such a case, it is often difficult to identify the source of contamination, groundwater can seep a long way through the ground before it reaches the well. Wells need to be deep enough to get into clean water and also need to be watertight for most of their depth to ensure that there is no seepage into the well from the ground near the surface. Bores are better, as long as they are properly lined, they are usually much deeper than wells and get can down into purer water although bores do tend to pick up mineral contamination from the rock. In many built-up areas of Bali, there is a town reticulated water supply. The water is chlorinated but, due to the many leaks in the distribution system, groundwater can enter and contaminate the water supply. In many houses water is pumped up to a tank to be gravity fed to your house, this gives a good steady water pressure, but if the tank has an open top (as some do) then birds, algae or other things may contaminate the water.

it in your mouth when you shower and don’t make ice cubes from it. If you wash the dishes, make sure that they are dried off before you use them for food or drink and wash salads in bottled water. If you keep getting sick, then you might consider whether you have a problem with your water supply. You can get a water sample lab-tested if you think that may be necessary. A man I knew often felt itchy after showering, the problem was worst in the dry season when the water level in the well was low. He moved to another house, the itching stopped and his health generally improved. He commented that going to the toilet was now a far more pleasant experience than it had been for years! If you want potable (drinking quality) water in your house then this is possible in Bali. There are companies on the island that offer water treatment equipment to provide pure, clean water for all your households needs. This can, however, be expensive and very wasteful in buying filtration cartridges and membranes. You might also consider harvesting rainwater which you can read about here: www.mrfixitbali.com/water/watersupply/rainwater-harvesting-256.html.

He can be contacted through the website or the office on 0361 288 789 or 08123 847 852.

These different sources of water are usually quite safe to wash in but take care, don’t clean your teeth in it, don’t get

Baaacot Lo!

You may have heard (or seen in the printed word, particularly social media) the word ‘bacot’ around the place. A slang word or expression, bacot is derived from the same word but in the form of a noun meaning the derogatory word for ‘mouth’, mostly referring to animals. When bacot is used as a noun to refer to humans, it could be translated as ‘trap’ or ‘gob’ in English. Commonly heard in Sunda and Jakarta, I rarely hear the word in Bali except among hip youth and the gay community. Bacot can mean a number of things colloquially: 1. To moan or complain about something, but not doing something about it. I suppose if you wanted to sort of force Indonesian and English together to give this cross-linguistic meaning, you could combine the words banyak and complain to make the acronym ‘ba-cot’. 2. To talk too much, to the point of annoyance. Everyone has those friends who spout their mouths off – this is the word you can pull out when they are “bacot-ing” by screaming, “Baaacot lo!” (You’re talking way too much dude!). 3. Words that come out of one’s mouth, but also referred to the physical mouth in this context. You could say something like “Jaga bacotnya biar orang nggak tersinggung” (watch your mouth so no one gets offended). 4. Something that is said out of context, out of place or isn’t relevant. Here it would be a synonym for ‘ngawur’, which means talking a load of rubbish. I’ve noticed over the years that Balinese in particular don’t like people who talk too much (like all those officials who give those uber boring ceremonial speeches at just about every event here!) – there is a Balinese term for that one hears in comedies and also among mostly young men. This is the coarse word for mouth (bungut) and for spouting off nonsense or talking too much (mapete). In a drama gong for example a clown may say to his buddy, “Lebian mapete ci, bungut gen gelahang!” (You talk too much, you’re all mouth!). Be careful using bacot and particularly bungut or mepete here in Bali as people tend to get easily offended by a poor choice of words, particularly if you are talking to someone new, someone older than you or someone who demands respect – so yeah, think twice before pulling these ones out when you’re stopped at a police checkpoint!

Gongs and Pop Songs

By Jennifer A. Fraser

Studies of the musical traditions of Indonesia have long focused on practices from Java and Bali, particularly those islands’ mesmerizing gamelan orchestras, at the expense of the wide diversity of other vibrant musical forms within the archipelago. Musicologist Jennifer A. Fraser counters this tendency by exploring a littleknown gong tradition called talempong that has long been associated with people from West Sumatra known as the Minangkabau. The emergence of gong chimes followed the arrival of the bronze culture in Sumatra around 1000 years BCE. Talempong is found everywhere where there are Minangkabau - in the villages, in the cities, in the capital of Jakarta and even as far away as Singapore and Australia. This wide-ranging ethnic group is famous for their remarkable matrilineal society, their skills as inter-island traders and their high level of political and social equality unique in S.E. Asia. The province of West Sumatra is almost entirely Minangkabau who comprise about one-quarter of Sumatra’s and almost 90% of West Sumatra’s population or about 8 million people, the 4th largest ethnic group in Indonesia. Written by an associate professor of ethnomusicology and anthropology at Oberlin College in Ohio, Gongs and Pop Songs is a highly original and richly detailed ethnographic work that explores Minangkabau ethnicity through their music since the 1960s. A culmination of more than two years of research over a 16 year period, this is the first comprehensive study to chronicle the history and variety of the talempong folk orchestra that consists of small bronze or brass kettle gongs arranged on waist-high racks; saluang, bansi and sarunai (types of bamboo flutes); djembe (drums) and gendang (tambourines). With its wide variety of styles, a talempong troupe could also employ vocalists, lutes (rebab), guitars and fiddles. Fraser divides talempong into indigenous, cosmopolitan and modern gong chime ensembles, all of which have their origins in political and economic events of historical importance. The original indigenous ensembles are played

predominantly at weddings and adat (customary) functions in the village or nagari, the traditional small tight-knit community unit specific to the Minangkabau. These ensembles are not standardized and vary from ensemble to ensemble and from village to village. Listeners can tell at once if an orchestra is from Unggan, Paninjauan, Sialang or some other nagari. Paradoxically, though the old style music immediately generates feelings of pride and nostalgia in the breast of a Minangkabau, at the same time it’s associated with all things rural, outmoded and even backwards. After a failed regional rebellion in West Sumatra against the central government from 1958 to 1961, graduates with formal training at art institutes and working full time as musicians created the more elaborate orkes talempong. This music practice enabled the Minangkabau to recoup lost pride and political standing and helped them to re-establish a place for themselves in the new p o l i t i c a l o r d e r. T h e prestigious and cosmopolitan orchestra was also in line with the agenda of the government that was attempting to create a modern national identity in which local elements were plugged into more sensational and fashionable foreign frameworks. Yet a third form, talempong goyang, had its genesis after the severe downtown in tourism in the late 1990s as a result of the Asian financial crisis and Suharto’s ousting as president in 1998. Later in the 2000s terrorist attacks dealt the tourism industry further blows, and domestic tourism was seen as a solution to overcome the economic shortfall. The glitzier the dance and music spectacle, packaged and streamlined for

sheer entertainment, the better chances were its commercial success. The more popified and showy contemporary orchestras, using rock instruments and emulating the sexy hip-swinging beat of Javanese dangdut, were staged at tourist events, theme parks and elite weddings. Through personal experiences; 26 in-depth interviews with composers, choreographers, teachers and free-lance musicians and the study of commercial video recordings, Fraser carried out extensive fieldwork in highland villages, participated in workshops, took music lessons and attended the tertiary-level Indonesian Arts Institute (Institut Seni Indonesia [ISI]) in Padangpanjang as an exchange student where she was apprenticed to a senior player. I read this book as much for its insightful observations into Minangkabau culture and people as I did for its study of a beloved musical tradition. With its academic language and arcane references to diatonic-chromatic tuning, sonic markers, functional harmony, notational representation, etc., much of the subject matter would be of interest only to musicologists. But tracing the transformation of musical practice in West Sumatra for the past 50 years, Gongs and Pop Songs is also valuable for those who wish to understand how music is able to admirably express ethnic identity and how music styles change in an ever shifting free market economy through great social and political turbulence.

The president affirmed that he would wear traditional clothing at other celebrations. “Indeed, Indonesia has thousands of traditional clothes. We will showcase our traditional attire,” the president stated. [Antaranews.com August 17, 2019] Australian could face 7 years in prison if convicted of purse snatching in Bali Australian Matthew Richard Woods remains under detention at Kerobokan Prison in Bali awaiting trial in a purse snatching that occurred on June 19, 2019. His case has been sent to State Prosecutors for presentation to the Denpasar Courts. According to the State News Agency Antara, Prosecutors now have 20 days to bring the case to trial. Woods stands accused of attempting to snatch the belongings of a tourist Soraya Dergham. At the time of the theft, he was reportedly collaborating in the theft with a man named Dean who continues to be sought by police. The two men, were reportedly driving a motorcycle as they passed Soraya Dergham and tried to pull her handbag off her arms. Witnesses to the robbery attempt heard the woman’s scream and pursued the thieves who were eventually brought to ground by security guards and their pursuers. The woman’s purse was found near where the men were knocked down by angry locals who reportedly beat the men, while Dean made good his escape. Police passing the scene managed to stop the beating and place Woods under arrest. Wood will be charged under Section 363 Paragraph 1-4 of the Criminal Code for theft that carries a maximum prison sentence of 7 years. Wood is adamant in claiming he did not commit the crime. The total loss suffered by the victim is put at Rp. 10,903,000, plus a hand phone and Rp. 244,000 in cash. [Balidiscovery. com August 20, 2019] Two dolphins freed from Bali hotel pool Rocky and Rambo, two dolphins who have been captive at the Melka Excelsior Hotel in Lovina, North Bali, have been freed by animal aid organizations. A total of five dolphins had been held in a chlorinated swimming pool for at least ten years, where tourists would pay to swim with them and watch them perform tricks. With the help of local organizations, Central Jakarta Forestry Department and the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, dolphin protection group Dolphin Project confiscated two of the cetaceans, along with a number of other animals that had been living in the hotel’s zoo. Tragically, one dolphin died before the rescue, however plans are in the works to save the remaining dolphins. The cetaceans were transported to The Dolphin Lodge, Bali where they will begin the process of rehabilitation in the hopes of eventual release. Though capturing wild dolphins and whales is illegal in Indonesia, there is a loophole often exploited by the fishing industry. When animals are caught at night, and said to be rescued from fishing gear, workers are able to sell the them to Wersut Seguni Indonesia. From there, the dolphins are sold throughout Indonesia. The Dolphin Project is assisting in stopping these illegal captures by monitoring the enforcement of laws and helping helping to build sustainable fishing practices. [Raisevegan.com August 9, 2019]

38 Bali warns misbehaving tourists will be sent home after Instagram influencers play with holy water Incensed Bali officials have warned that misbehaving tourists will be sent home or face purification rituals after a Czech couple filmed themselves splashing each other with holy water from a temple on the Indonesian holiday island. The Balinese authorities appear to have finally run out of patience after a recent spate of tourist misdemeanours that has included an Australian fly-kicking a man off a motorbike and a Russian visitor who tried to smuggle out a drugged baby orangutan.

The contrite couple tried to make amends on Thursday by taking part in a ritual purification ceremony where they wore traditional clothes and touched pressed hands to their heads as a show of respect. “I’m really glad that we had the opportunity to purify this place and now I would like to say thank you to all the Balinese people because they were very kind to us,” Mr Slouka said afterwards. Arya Wedakarna, a local senator, suggested the ritual could be made compulsory in future for tourist gaffes. “They made a mistake sullying our island,” he told AFP. “AnyThe latest incident has caused particular outrage as it took one who violates our traditions must take part in a purification place in a temple in Bali’s Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in ritual,” he added.

In a now deleted video by Czech Instagram influencers, Zdenek Slouka is shown lifting up the skirt of his girlfriend Sabina Dolezalova and splashing water on her bottom. In the ensuing public backlash, Wayan Koster, the island’s governor, said the local government would step up its role in protecting holy sites. “In the future, if there are tourists behaving like that we should just send them home, they are being disorderly coming to Bali. We will give them this warning,” Mr Koster said in a statement.

Drunken Aussie arrested after Bali rampage, fly-kicking man off motorbike Nicholas Carr - a 26-year-old man from Adelaide - is being pilloried online and across Bali after he launched a flying kick and knocked a motorcyclist off his bike. He then attempted to jump over a car, landed on his backside and was tied-up with rope and arrested by police. Footage posted by an Indonesian Instagram page showed the man jumping around in the road, kicking the motorcyclist and leaping onto a moving car, followed by several men as they try to catch him. The page also posted a picture of Carr tied up with rope - shirtless and barefoot, with a bloody nose, surrounded by police - and sitting on the pavement. Carr has apologised and offered to compensate victims of the spree where he also allegedly smashed windows at a mini-mart and a restaurant. He also allegedly assaulted residents in their homes. He is currently in a police holding cell in the Kuta tourist precinct and was being questioned on Monday morning. An apprenticed builder, the man said he drank vodka and cocktails and can’t remember what happened, adding: “I have drunk until I have blacked out but I have never done this before, ever.” Carr reportedly apologised, adding: “I’ll do whatever they want.”

He ran off, chased by two men. Further CCTV footage showed the man harassing residents in their homes. Nyoman Purda told Seven News the bleeding man had invaded his home and assaulted him before escaping through a window. “I opened my room door and he approached me and straight away pulled me by my neck. I fell down,” he said. “When I fell down, my arm got injured. My nose was also bleeding. He was bleeding when he arrived here. There was a lot of blood, also in my room.” [10daily.com.au August 12, 2019]

Australian arrested after her car allegedly hit and killed a motorbike rider on Bali’s infamous ‘Skull Track’ Police in Bali’s Jembrana regency yesterday arrested an Australian woman, identified as Susan Leslie O’Brien, for hitting a motorcycle with a car she was allegedly driving without a license and killing the rider. As reported by local media outlets, the accident took place on Wednesday afternoon on the Denpasar-Gilimanuk Bypass. A 19-year-old motorcycle rider from Banyuwangi, East Java, identified as Rizqi Akbar Putra, died at the scene from his injuries, according to the police. The chief of the Jembrana Traffic Police, Yoga Widyatmoko, said O’Brien had been attempting to overtake a truck when her car collided with Rizqi’s motorcycle, according to a report from Tribun-Bali. “The driver of the APV wasn’t being careful enough when she was trying to overtake the truck, which resulted in this accident,” Yoga was quoted as saying in reference to O’Brien.

imprisonment and a maximum fine of IDR 12 million (USD 842). Bali’s Gilimanuk-Denpasar Bypass is so infamous for the numerous deadly accidents that have taken place there, which has led locals to refer to is as Jalur Tengkorak, or the “Skull Track.” Earlier this month, two young girls are orphaned after a tragic accident took the lives of their parents, who died after they were run over by a truck. [Coconuts.co August 16, 2019]

In addition, Yoga told Detik that while O’Brien wasn’t speeding during the accident, she was not carrying any driving license with her when it occurred. The police officially declared her a suspect for vehicular manslaughter yesterday. Under Indonesia’s 2009 Traffic Law, O’Brien faces a maximum of six years’

Bali judge throws the book at an Australian tourist Perhaps reflecting recent criticism suggesting malfeasance reflected in the light sentences being meted out to foreign nationals in narcotics trials, the Denpasar District Court presided over by Bambang Ekaputra has handed down a sentence to a 45-year old Australian man, Ryan Scott Williams, that was much more severe than that sought by public prosecutors. On Thursday, August 15, 2019, Judge Ekaputra sentenced Williams to 5 years in prison for possessing 43.15 grams of cocaine, a period of imprisonment much sterner than the “lighter” sentence of 15 months demanded by State Prosecutors. As reported by balitribune.co.id, the Presiding judge rejected the Prosecutors decision to charge the man only as an illicit user of narcotics, changing his indictment to sentence Williams as a distributor/producer of narcotics. The Indonesian anti-narcotics law specifies that 1.1grams of cocaine is a “reasonable” amount of the drug for personal consumption in a single day, while the Australian was arrested with more than 43 grams of cocaine in his possession. This, according to the Court, automatically classified the Australian as an operator/producer in the illicit drug trade. Williams did, however, escape a Rp. 10 billion fine that could have been imposed by the Court in the case. William had established a small laboratory in his residence for producing cocaine that he told the court he needed for “pain control” for an injured leg. The man has been warded in a police hospital since last month for the treatment of an injured leg kept encased in a walking brace. In handing down the sentence, Justice Ekaputra said weighing against the Australian

was that his crime could result in damaging the future generation of the nation and the large amount of drugs found in his possession. In partial mitigation, however, was the fact that Williams acted politely before the Court during the trial and the fact that he was the financial backbone of his family. While prosecutors said they would consider whether or not to appeal the decision, Williams and his attorney Edward Pangkahila quickly signaled they would not contest the verdict of the court, even thought it was three time more than the penalty sought by prosecutors. Williams’ attorney later told the press that risk of appealing the sentence might result in an even stiffer sentence of death before a firing squad being rendered on appeal. Williams was arrested in March 2019 at a private villa in Kerobokan with 43 grams of cocaine hidden in two glass jars in the villa’s dressing room. [Balidiscovery.com August 20, 2019]
