Trouble in Paradise How to Survive The Misery of The Rainy Season

Have you ever noticed how much of your life happens on autopilot? You are kind of here, but really you are just going through the motions. Interestingly, living in Bali’s never-ending summer might be contributing to you defaulting to a checked-out state. Here where seasons are already rather blurred, many wash them out further by escaping to greener (drier) pastures during the pesky rainy season. A happy escapee from the cold Eastern European wintery miseries, I would be the last person to disapprove of endless summers. But inside this happy escapee lives a cautious psychologist, who knows the pitfalls of even the warmest of the rides.

The trouble is absence of seasons gradually desensitizes us. When we do not get to feel the moody breath of fall’s near-death, when the hibernating strength (fat)-building winter bypasses us, when spring’s naive optimism does not come to tickle us, summer itself eventually seems less bright. Since vivid summer colors are abundant throughout the year, they become a given, something that you soon cease to notice. Change of seasons sharpens our senses, makes us more aware of realities of life and allows us to become wiser with our plans and expectations. Riding through the year on warm months only inevitably translates into an expectation of a perpetually upward curve - always progressing, always being in a good mood, always forward. That, of course, is not how things work. Seasonality also brings a web of rituals. Whether you realize it or not rituals have a huge power, which is why we have SO many of them in any culture. Spring cleaning, winter foods, summer wardrobe, fall celebrations… Seasonal ritual aside we have rituals for birthdays, funerals, weddings, re-performance, morning and bedtime rituals. Turns out there is more than the romantic (and commercial) value to them. Research shows that rituals performed after experiencing losses actively reduce grief, while rituals performed before high-pressure tasks (e.g. public speaking) – do in fact reduce anxiety, enhance confidence and motivate for greater effort. Sports psychology demonstrates

higher emotional stability and stronger performance among athletes who have pre-game routines. For those who look beyond the rational, rituals are a way to explicitly step out of the day-to-day reality and step into another realm, call for help, wisdom, and protection of something greater than ourselves. Rituals are so powerful because they help to mobilize all our resources, senses and energies. Compare what happens to you when you are merely making a to-do list with saying a prayer. A prayer usually leaves us feeling more uplifted and hopeful. Believe it or not, something as dull as a rainy season can bring a tremendous uplift. Here are some ideas how you can use it to supercharge the rest of your year: Create a ritual for rest So many of us live in a fairy tale of ‘I don’t have time for this’. Learning how to declutter your schedule stripping it down to true essential is your first step towards discovering just how much you are actually able to do with your time. We are yet to learn the art of inspired working. And the first step to inspiration- rather than deadline-driven schedule is learning to really rest. Rainy days are your God-given time for blissful shamelessly self-centered rest. Plan fewer meetings, take less work, ban TV and internet for a prolonged period of time (e.g. a month). Create more space, more unplanned windows of time, even space for boredom. Sleep more at night. Nap in the afternoon (post-breakfast naps are my personal favorite). Embrace doing less. Do everything slower with more intentionality. Spend more time alone. Even if you have no idea how to entertain yourself. Especially if you don’t. Just allow for the calmer softer energy to gradually fill you and notice how your mood changes, how the quality and quantity of your thoughts change. Often this is already rest - switching your attention from obsessing over your goals and problems. Play Now that you have more time in your schedule, you can finally attend to all those things you’ve been saving for later. That cookbook you shoved at the back of your bookshelf. That beach you keep meaning to visit. The yoga pose you keep shying away from. Ask yourself, what do I keep postponing? Are there people in whose presence you feel energized and supported? This is your perfect opportunity to connect. Bake a cake (inspired by that new cookbook) and invite some people for tea. Anything that you genuinely enjoy doing - this is what you should be doing more of during these months. This will bring to calm your nervous system and replenish you with enthusiasm and strength. Clean your mind

Nyepi

The mold takes over not just your shoes and whatever is hiding at the bottom of your wardrobe. Use the rainy months for getting rid of your psychic mold. Start with your to-do lists. All your notes to self, voice memos, doc files, app notifications of things to do, books to read, ideas to develop, places to visit etc etc. Go through them all. Clean out your saved items on social media and your internet browser bookmarks. Discard what’s not needed, notice what keeps coming up over and over. What about your new year resolutions? Go through your plans for the past few years. Is there anything that you keep repeating? Are there any changes that you’ve been longing to introduce into your life year after year? Where are you stuck? Get honest with yourself. See what you are not willing to put up with any longer and use your time to search for new practices, ideas, and connections that can help you bring about the desired change.

And of course, the main trick to this, or any lifehacks on how to improve your life is to actually go out and apply these things. No matter how vigorously you nod your head in agreement that ‘Yes, this is exactly what I need to do!’, not a single thing in your life will change (for the better) until you find it in you to take an action.

BEING ECO-FRIENDLY ISN’T A SPECTATOR SPORT

Indeed Indonesia is certainly striding in the right direction by recently putting the kibosh on the supply of plastic shopping bags in major retailers and who could forget sisters Isabel and Melati Wisjen’s Bye Bye Bags pledge that projected Bali’s plastic pollution plight onto the world stage. But each one of us has to start considering what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint and we can begin in the laundry! IbuBumiBali was born from a desire to return to Mother Earth’s natural roots by bringing back traditional methods that our grandparents used and put the brakes on consumer servitude to a media fuelled, global machine. Time to really start questioning what we are buying and how we use these products. What is it doing to the environment? Our health? Our waterways? The launch of IbuBumiBali’s first product aims at better waterways for Bali. Despite its apparent ‘in-visibility’, many detergents, soaps and laundry products commonly used in homes and businesses across the island are contaminating local waterways with liquid waste, potentially rendering them unsafe for human consumption or irrigation purposes. Perhaps we need to adios those sudsy, perfumed soaps and powders and opt for an effective, efficient and affordable natural alternative! Eco consciousness and concern for the environment are common threads across today’s head-lines, coffee conversations, even dialogue at the dinner table and we can no longer look away as if protecting our natural resources and environment is someone else’s problem. While there are many effective, environmental champions leading the charge, just as many others pretend to be ‘eco friendly’ while treating recycling and conservation as merely spectator sports.

Lerak trees (Pohon Klerak, as they are locally named) grow ‘Soap Nuts’ - an incredibly unique fruit that contain natural saponins which have the ability to create suds. Once you have suds you can emulsify dirt out of fabrics which means clean clothes! Soap Nuts are a natural water softener too so no need for expensive, commercial softeners! Winning!

clothes thus reducing macro-plastic pollution. The absence of harsh chemicals means soap nuts are non-intrusive to natural waterways and septic systems. No more smelly grey water, no nasty residues. Did I mention the naturally fresh fragrance too? In an effort to kickstart the trend toward more natural laundering options, IbuBumiBali has even ‘planted their own Lerek forest! The ‘nuts’ are hand harvested and sorted to provide you with the highest quality product. With a zero plastic policy throughout production and distribution, Ibu-BumiBali’s packaging and products are completely compostable!

Ubud Area

The Frugal Balinist ✱ Supermarket Savvy Learn how to read a food label to cut calories, increase dietary fiber intake and make healthier choices. A powerful lot of nutritional info is packed into the tiny “Nutrition Facts” panel. First check out the caloric intake of one serving, the amount of the product typically consumed at once. 2,000 calories is the average daily reference amount that you should shoot for. Dial down your daily sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg (about 2/3 teaspoon of salt). Keep saturated fats to less than 20 gr or replace salt with unsaturated fats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Your consumption of added sugar should be no more than 25-35 gr. Dietary fiber should be at least 28 gr to avoid constipation and maintain overall digestive health. Nutrients such as fats, cholesterol, carbohydrates and protein are also listed, as well as select vitamins and minerals. Most people living in Indonesia automatically get enough proteins every day by eating a variety of foods. Tofu, tempe and beans (kacang merah, kacang polong, kacang hitam/undis, kacang kara, etc.) are among Indonesia’s richest sources of plant-based protein and also give dietary fiber.

bouts per day are just as helpful as doing longer sessions and can feel more doable. Aim for 10-minute mini workouts 2-3 times daily. Go for a walk around the block a couple of times at lunch and then repeat before dinner. *Use Peditox (Rp5000 per 20-gram bottle) to get rid of hair lice. *The Heimlich maneuver has saved hundreds of thousands of people from choking to death since 1974. Illustrations on how to administer it are found on the Internet. *Some Bali pharmacies have a doctor on the premises who can be consulted for free. ✱ Life-savers Expats on Bali tend to go to seed healthwise once they move to Bali (smoking, excess drinking and lack of exercise do not help). For those over 40, get a comprehensive annual health screening in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand or Australia so that any potential or developing maladies can be identified and treated before they get worse and infinitely more expensive. These killer diseases must be caught during the “golden hour” of intervention. Do the screening on a visa run or weekend break from Indonesia. ✱ Make shoes last

✱ Air Travel Bummers Lion Air, Wings Air and Citilink airlines no longer include any checked baggage in their ticket prices. (Passengers in the past were given an allowance of 20 kg included in the ticket price). One way to save money is to pre-pay baggage fees at the same time you purchase your ticket or at least six hours prior to departure. The cheaper pre-paid baggage fees for Lion Air will be Rp42,000/5 kg, Rp83,000/10 kg, Rp124,000/15 kg, Rp165,000/20 kg. *More stringent standards are now being applied to the condition of passports of those who are traveling to and from Indonesia. Up to 20 passengers to Indonesia are denied boarding in Australia in a single month due to damaged passports. *Heads up during the upcoming peak Chinese New Year holiday travel period 01 Feb-10 Feb when there will be at least a 5% increase in the number of air passengers. ✱ Health pointers People who nap each day for 60 minutes have significantly higher tolerance for frustration and more focus than people who don’t. *Get a free document at www.celiactravel.com that’s translated into Indonesian that you give to waiters, concierges, physicians and others who are in a position to help you with your Gluten Free diet while you’re traveling in Indonesia. For example, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) is loaded with gluten. *As you get fitter working out, increase the time and/or intensity of the sessions. A few short exercise

permit, you can be deported. The authorities have become more and more diligent in finding villa owners who are not complying with the law. *January is the time to keep better track of home finances. Apache Open/Office and Libre-Office, free open source suites that run on Windows, Mac and Linux systems, come with spreadsheet programs. Select one of their “personal budget” templates. Just type over the sample numbers with your own information and the software does the rest. *You no longer need to spend Rp10 juta on the latest iPhone model. Huawei and Samsung have flooded the Indonesian market with lower-cost Androids that have become just as functional. Though they may not have all the newest features like animated emojis and Face ID, there’s not much that you can’t do on these sturdy and reliable rival phones. *Besar pasak daripada tiang (“The peg is bigger than the pole”) or expenditure is way bigger than the potential income. ✱ Keep Tires in Top Condition Today’s longer-lasting tires that can endure over 80,000 km before they wear out through heat, environment and Bali’s potholes, make safety checks more critical than ever. Underinflation can weaken tires, so check air pressure each month before tires have been driven more than a few km. Inflate tires according to the air pressure listed on the plate on the door jamb, inside the glove compartment or fuel-filler door. (The pressure on the tire’s sidewall is the maximum pressure for the tire.) For safety’s sake, replace any tires that have cracks (retak), cuts or bulges in the tread or sidewall. Also check for uneven tread wear, which typically points to poor wheel alignment or worn or broken suspension. Always have your car’s alignment and suspension checked before mounting new tires to avoid premature wear. Stay within the vehicle’s weight capacity listed on the door jamb plate. Overloaded tires run hotter, increasing the chance of a blowout. After several years, if the tread is worn down and the rubber loses its softness and begins to feel hard (mengeras), it’s time to shop for replacements. Tip: No. 1 tire available in Bali is Bridgestone (Rp650,000-Rp800,000); No. 2 is Dunlop (Rp600,700-Rp700,000).

Give them a break; don’t wear the same pair every day. After each wearing, clean shoes with soft, dry cloth. Keep shoes on a shoetree. Store shoes in a dry area where they can get fresh air and not mold. Give perspiration and other moisture time to dry out completely. If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them dry slowly. Keep leather shoes lubricated and protected by polishing them regularly, using a polish with a high wax content like Kiwi Shoe Polish (Rp25,000/36 gr). Don’t use liquid polishes that contain little or no wax and may cause shoes to dry out. ✱ Cash Wise Try this old-school way of saving: set up automatic weekly or monthly transfers of small amounts from your main account to another account used strictly for savings - a simple, quick and out-of-mind way to build education, vacation or emergency funds. *Be careful renting out your house while you’re away. Either the neighbors, competition or the local banjar will be interested in what you’re doing and it might trigger a visit by the authorities checking tax and licenses. Bali’s Hotel Association has pressured government to ban illegal villas in Bali as they are biting into hotel profits. If the authorities find out that you rent out a few rooms without a pondok wisata

As goes Bali - so does a Polluted World 2018 seems to be the tipping point – the year when the world finally woke up to the reality that climate change and environmental pollution have to be addressed and it’s up to us. There’s nothing really special about 2018, except perhaps that the sense of powerlessness felt by many of us seems to have shifted and Nature seemed a bit pissed off with us. We increasingly take action in the personal and public areas of our lives where we can, even though we don’t know how how it will work out. We’ve given up waiting for the answers from our leaders, who remain unable to deliver a concerted plan that might get us through this. Best of all, and about time too, the nutters, nitpickers and nincompoops, along with the the irredeemably self-seving, who deny the reality of what is plain for all to see, are exposed for what they are (Trump) and lost all credence.

City, Paris, London and now Beijing. Megacities in the developing world, like Delhi, Cairo, Chengdu, Mexico City and Dhaka are much filthier and not having even started to tackle the problem. Tragic consequences may follow. Fine particles are the worst killer. PM2.5 stands for particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers, which is really small, small enough to get right into your lungs and even into your blood stream.

If we do not permit hotels to be built higher than a coconut tree, why do we permit this? Bali is still a wonderful place to be and visit. Though the magic is compromised it is never far away for those of us who love the place. We just have to remember it’s still there. The climate is benign, we are not yet enveloped in smog and the people are lovely. The problems of airborn pollution and trash are not prohibitively expensive to solve considering the alternatives and lie within our power.

The shift though, is nuanced. Right now the action seems to lie in rolling back the pollution of our environment and taking steps to protect public health. The need and the results are more readily visible here than taking on the massively collective action required to stop global warming. Living or swimming in filth is something we can address now. Call me cynical if you like, but another reason I reckon we’re seeing some action on the part of the Great and the Good to clean up our cities, is the embarassment they feel on occasion when visiting heads of state are enveloped in a noxious yellow cloud. Death by fine particle is an equal opportunity killer, it strikes them down too, just as it does us. I read today reports that on two occasions in July of last year Jakarta had the worst air pollution of any city in the world, and that Denpasar was the tenth worst. I know it’s bad in both those places but it’s hard to align that with what’s happening in large numbers of Chinese and Indian cities. The reports may well be right - but so am I. Major cities in China, India and countries in the Northern hemisphere are far worse off than anything in Indonesia but, at certain times of the year clear skies are not unknown there. On such rare occasions.... Jakarta and Denpasar might just seize this grotty rosette for one brief inglorious moment. The World Health Organisation (WHO) tells us that exposure to fine particles in the air contribute to 7 million deaths a year, usually via heart disease, stroke or lung cancer. That’s about the same death toll as tobacco and it’s 15 times the annual death rate for war and homicide combined. Eight out of 10 people in the world are breathing air that is way above the safe limit, says the WHO. Damage to rich people’s health has proven a great incentive to clean up the air, if not solve climate change. In both cases the answer is more bicycles, less coal and a ban on diesel. That’s why you see significant changes in New York

If garbage in our waters spurs the authorities to act, why not on land? The amount of trash strewn about this island is as appalling, as it is incomprehensible. Every time we drive along the by-pass between Kuta and Sanur, off into the fast disappearing mangrove forest on the seaward side, we see the ominous mile-long barracks-like rectangle that is the Suwung rubbish tip, now going on four stories high.

The WHO awards for the worst PM2.5 pollution in the great cities of the world, starting from the top, are: Tokyo 38.1m; Delhi 26.5m; Shanghai 24.5m; Beijing 21.2m; Mexico City 21.2m; New York 18.6m; Dhaka 18.2m; Buenos Aires 15.3m; Istanbul 14.4m; Lagos 13.7m; Rio de Janeiro 13.0m; Los Angeles 12.3m; Jakarta 10.5m; London 10.4m; Johannesburg 9.6m. Another WHO rating of the 500 truly worst cities in the world gives a better overall picture. Nothern India has by far the worst polluted cities anywhere, with 9 out of the first 10. China, however is the major culprit with an incredible 290 cities or 58% of the 500 cities listed. Indonesia has two, Jakarta at 252nd and Bandung at 365th. Denpasar is not mentioned. A year ago local and regional authorities here, shocked by the dramatically visual international coverage of the plastic trash on the beaches and in the waters off the coasts of Bali acted, banning one time use of plastic straws and food containers also banned plastic shopping bags. It is a step in the right direction. Bali is a small island of 5,800km2, just 153km East to West and 95 km North to South with population of some 4.2m but with almost 8 million international and domestic visitors a year. It has little if any heavy industry to speak of so the pollution is mostly generated by trash and airborne particles from road traffic. The eruption of Mt Agung and the threat from volcanic ash is something of a natural wild card, to be kept in mind.

You have only to see the difference between some villages, where not a single discarded chocolate bar wrapper is to be seen, and others where litter is strewn everywhere like some ticker tape parade. Empower the banjars and charge them with handling the problem locally. It should not then be beyond the municipal and provincial authorities competence to devise and implement a waste disposal that works better than the present system. If trash is unsightly, unhygienic and leads to health problems, air pollution is the more dangerous and insidious threat. In Bali motorised transport is the culprit. Anyone living in crowded urban areas or along a busy road is likely to suffer ill health as a result. The solutions are not simple, but they are do-able. Ease traffic flow, build overpasses (they’re cheaper than underpasses); phase out diesel; enforce regulations against excessive exhaust; ban overlong idling engines in waiting cars and buses; encourage people to use public transport; find out what went wrong with the Sarbagita service and fix it; expand, improve and regulate the minibus services; and much, much more. Motorbikes are a real problem, but people have got to get around. Any solution that gets people off their motor bikes and into public transport requires a more comfortable, convenient and affordable way to travel longer distances. It can’t be pleasant travelling far in all weathers on a bike, motorised public transport can and should be made to work. Things are looking up. They always said things have to get worse before they get better, didn’t they?

Bali House & Home

At Home in Bali

Design ideas and inspiration for tropical living

Expert Tips, Tricks and Contacts from a Renovation Addict Janet Molloy knows a thing or two about creating homes in Bali. In the 30+years she’s lived in Ubud, this serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and full-blown decor obsessive has built three homes from scratch, renovated a handful more, and also designed the interiors for her island restaurants and boutiques. Here are her tips on lifting lack-lustre places into luscious homes.

patterened glass to let in more light. For the floor, I chose cheap black and white tiles, and was amazed by how effective they were in making everything else pop. Two key learning points here: white solves all sorts of problems… don’t buy a joglo from a photo!

Always be on site! After a year of living in pondoks, in 1989 we started building our first home in Kutuh Kelod. I found graph paper and took time in drawing plans to scale. The builder took one look, screwed up the plans and tossed them down the ravine. It was clear that close supervision was required, so we moved onto the site, and lived in a simple room with bedeg walls, bamboo windows, and pythons falling from the roof onto my new-born baby while our house was built around us. A decade or so later I set about creating a new home in Lotunduh, inspired by an enormous 14m x 14m joglo I had found in pieces in Java. After re-erecting it first in Solo to make sure it was complete, we had it dismantled again and shipped to Bali where the ladies from the village set about preparing the piles of wood. How could I have anticipated that they would diligently sand off all the numbers carefully placed by the Javanese team to aid reassembly, so no one had any idea what went where? We solved this unanticipated challenge by using local contractors for the ground storey and bringing the Javanese team from Yogya to assemble the joglo on top. Same lesson, 10 years apart: Something can be ok, but if you turn you back it will be different. You must to be there on site and keep your eye on the project at all times. This advice is as true today as it was then.

Give your inner control freak free reign With the Lotunduh house I wanted to create a kid-friendly home that didn’t impact the interior to the extent that it changed the feeling of the antique joglo. I imported traditional tiles from Yogya for the two floors and the encircling verandas, selecting tiles and borders with different motifs unified within the same colour palette. We prepared all the drawings on computer in great detail — a massive job at a time when computer design was in its infancy — and with lots of creative direction the installation went without a hitch. Alas the same can’t be said about the stained-glass memorial window I designed to mark the millennium; I was off-site when one day, and returned to find it installed back to front. Naturally my control freak paranoia intensified. Another decade later, the kids had grown up and moved out, and my beautiful joglo house suddenly seemed way too big. I was yearning for something smaller, on one level, and decided to place another joglo in the garden. It turned out that the westerner who sold it to me had patched together a lot of mismatched wood in poor condition, along with wall panels that didn’t belong. We eventually found a way to incorporate the panels into the house, and used every piece of wood. We painted everything white to cover the uneven hues of the wood and give the panels a gorgeous lacy look. We replaced the centre panels of the original joglo doors with traditional

repurpose anything that I could find. A seven-drawer cabinet used in the jewellery factory for storing iron tools has been sanded, spruced up with paint and new hardware and now has a new lease of life in Palm Merah. Hanging racks from my Goddess on the Go boutique have been painted warm white and placed in bedrooms and bathrooms, keeping clothes aired and free from mould. The cashiers desk from Café Havana has pride of place in the kitchen, while its iconic ironwork serves as a thief-proof roof over the courtyard. The sofa from Goddess on the Go has been recovered in rose-pink velour. And an old floor lamp now sports a new shade in a fab poppy print… my heart literally leapt when I found this fabric!

Be bold with colour My friends know me as the queen of colour…nothing is too bright in my book! You really can make a splash with a can of paint. If the colour is too dark, add some white into it… and if you don’t like it, just paint over it again. We had already used four test colours for Café Havana’s upstairs dining area, but I couldn’t find the colour I wanted. So we dumped them all into a bucket and mixed them up, and a unique aubergine is what we got. My son must have inherited this experiment-with-colour gene; he used three different cans of spray paint to create the right pink colour for the gate.

Final words Don’t be precious — nothing is worth the drama. If something isn’t working, just move on. I planned this great koi pond in my new home, but after my son introduced turtles, the koi aren’t going to get a gig. The upside is that I have learnt to be fond of the turtles!

Buy what you love Rule number one: Have storage and just buy stuff you like. You can work out afterwards what to do with it! Some ceramic plates I picked up on a whim while holidaying in Tunisia eventually found their place in a middle eastern restaurant I opened a few years later. The stunning terracotta tiles with a blue ceramic insert that I felt compelled to buy were looking for a project for a few years. They now grace my new home in Kemenuh — and by happy accident I saw the same tiles in an Andalusian palace in Spain last year. For bedrooms, I do like Spotlight in Australia (or online) and happily found green-and-white palm-print duvet covers and matching pillows for Palm Merah —a steal at A$9. I also like Bed Bath N’ Table, and am inspired by their beautiful quilt colours. I am probably like a very primitive hunter gatherer woman, I don’t assume the berries are going to be in that particular paddock — I just cruise, whether in an office supplies shop or a dusty antiques shop in Mas. I will buy something even if I don’t know what it’s for. On the other hand, I will happily shop with speed and purpose; it took me just one day to buy everything to furnish a Perth apartment, and all from Pondok Padi, which has truly inventive and fabulously finished furniture and accessories.

Repurpose wherever possible I have always been a fan of reusing things. In my latest renovation, an old office building in Kemenuh, I set out to

Local News Bali police introduce horse patrols on Kuta Beach

Police patrolling Bali’s famous Kuta Beach are now using horses to enhance safety and law enforcement along a Bali coast popular with sunbathers and swimmers drawn to the area. The well-trained horses are able to maneuver through the crowds of sun and swim enthusiasts. Balitribune.co.id reports that the horse patrols are being undertaken by Unit Satwa Turangga Directorate of the Bali Police. Patrols are normally conducted between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm each day using 3 horses and 4 uniformed officers under the command of Chief (Police) Brigadier Surarman. The head of the Satwa Turangga Directorate, Inspector I Wayan Nuaba, explained the purpose to the horse patrols is to minimalize criminal activity targeted at tourists relaxing on the beach by means of high visibility policing. One female Australian tourist, complimented the new horse patrols saying she enjoyed seeing the handsome policemen riding on the beach on well-cared for horses. [Bali Update January 22, 2019]

Bali authorities plan to impose $10 tax on foreign tourists

The authorities of Indonesia’s island Bali intend to impose tax of $10 on foreign tourists, local media reported Saturday. According to the Straits Times newspaper, the relevant bill was submitted for consideration to the local parliament in December. The revenue from the tourist tax will be used to address environmental problems of the island and preserve the Balinese cultural heritage. The newspaper reported that the provincial authorities were discussing possible ways to collect the tax. The tourists might be required to pay it at the airport upon arrival in Bali or the tax could be included in airline ticket price, the newspaper said. The Straits Times newspaper also reported that Bali welcomed 5.7 million foreign tourists mainly from China and Australia in 2017. In 2018, the number of foreign tourists exceeded six million.

20 Bali bombings: Indonesia reviews Abu Bakar Bashir’s release after Morrison’s request Indonesia’s security minister says the decision to release alleged Bali bombing mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir is being reviewed, hours after Scott Morrison urged president Joko Widodo to show respect for Australia. The minister, Wiranto, told a hastily called news conference on Monday night that the president had asked him to coordinate a review of all aspects of the planned release. Bashir had previously been considered ineligible for parole because of his refusal to renounce radical beliefs. His family had requested his release since 2017 because of his age and deteriorating health. “On the basis of humanitarian considerations, the president is very understanding of the family’s request,” Wiranto said. “However, it still needs to be considered by other aspects.” Bashir, 81, is considered the spiritual leader of Islamist group Jemaah Islamiah, which was implicated in the 2002 Bali bombings. The radical Muslim cleric was convicted of terrorism charges in 2010 over links to militant training camps in Aceh province and jailed for 15 years. But Widodo said on Friday Bashir would be granted early release from jail on humanitarian grounds. Morrison and other members of the Australian government have been in direct contact with their Indonesian counterparts over Bashir’s impending release. “Australians died horrifically on that night, and I think Australians everywhere would be expecting that this matter was treated with the utmost seriousness by our government, which it is,” the prime minister told reporters on Monday. “But also that the Indonesian government would show great respect for Australia in how they manage this issue.”

Frenchman climbed out of Indonesian jail using a sarong Police in Indonesia have launched a manhunt for a French national accused of drug trafficking, after he broke out of his second-floor cell by sawing through the window bars and rappelling to freedom with a sarong. Felix Dorfin’s daring escape happened on Sunday evening at a detention centre on Lombok island, where the 35-year-old was awaiting trial in a possible death penalty case. “He escaped through the window on the second floor in the detention centre and, using a sarong and curtains which were tied together, he climbed down and then escaped,” said West Nusa Tenggara police spokesman I Komang Suartana. Dorfin is believed to still be in Lombok. Police have deployed officers to scour the island to search for him, said Suartana. The Frenchman was arrested in September for allegedly carrying a false-bottomed suitcase filled with 4kg of drugs - including cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines - at the airport on the holiday island. Indonesia has some of the world’s strictest drug laws - including death penalty sentences for some traffickers. Indonesia has executed several foreign drug smugglers in the past, including Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, who were ringleaders of the notorious Bali Nine heroin smuggling gang and faced the firing squad in 2015. Serge Atlaoui, a convicted French drug smuggler, has been on death row since 2007.

I Dewa Made Mertha Yasa, the head of the volcano monitoring post in the Rendang area to the west of Agung, said that the outburst did not mean that we should expect a bigger eruption any time soon. “Eruptions will still occur in the future, but on a small scale. There are no signs of a larger eruption, because the intensity of the earthquake was so small,” he commented to the source. Agung’s alert level remains at Level 3 (standby) and the Center of Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation (PVMG) continues to warn climbers, tourists and locals against entering the hazard zone, which stretches a four-kilometer radius around Agung’s crater.

Jailbreaks are also common in Indonesia, where inmates are often held in unsanitary conditions at overcrowded and poorly guarded prisons. In 2017, four foreign inmates tunneled their way out of a Bali prison. Three of the fugitives were captured a few days later, while the fourth - an Australian – is still on the run. It was not clear whether prosecutors would seek Dorfin’s execution if he was convicted. [South China Morning Post January 21, 2019]

Here’s what it’s like inside Starbucks’ stunning new ‘coffee sanctuary’ in Bali - its largest store in SEA Starbucks opened the Starbucks Dewata Coffee Sanctuary - its largest Southeast Asian store – in Bali on Jan 12. Bali is known as being a surfer’s paradise, and now, thanks to Starbucks, it is also a destination of interest for coffee-lovers in Southeast Asia. Last Saturday (Jan 12), the largest coffee chain in the world opened its biggest Southeast Asian store on the island of the gods. Starbucks Dewata Coffee Sanctuary takes up a whopping 20,000 sq ft of space, the company said in a statement. Starbucks has been operating in Indonesia for 16 years, in partnership with licensee PT Sari Coffee Indonesia. The coffee chain with 28,000 stores worldwide said in its statement that the new store in Seminyak pays tribute to the coffee culture in Indonesia – the fourth largest Arabica coffee growing region in the world. Since 1971, Sumatra coffee has been a staple offering at Starbucks Indonesia, it added. “The Coffee Sanctuary marks the tenth Starbucks Reserve Bar store in Indonesia, one of 185 stores around the world, with the majority in Asia,” said Kevin Johnson, CEO of Starbucks Coffee Company.

Mount Agung’s activity has slowly increased over the past couple of weeks, with the latest rumbling, on Saturday, sending out lava a kilometer to the east of the volcano’s crater. According to a report by local-language media outlet Nusa Bali, the eruption occurred at 2:45am and lasted for a duration of two minutes and eight seconds. Though the mountain’s peak could not be observed by the naked eye due to 700 meter-high plumes of smoke, the glowing lava spurt was captured on CCTV. Thankfully, despite the lava flows, Saturday’s flare-up didn’t cause any bushfires on Agung’s slopes, due to the rainy weather.

Eighty-eight of the more than 200 people killed in the 2002 bombings of Bali nightclubs were Australians, and Canberra has previously urged against leniency for Bashir. “We have been consistent always - governments of both persuasions, over a long period of time - about our concerns about Abu Bakar Bashir,” Morrison said. “He should serve what the Indonesian justice system has delivered to him as his sentence.” Morrison said it was not uncommon for prisoners who have served two-thirds of their Indonesian prison sentences to get parole. “But we have been very clear about the need to ensure that as part of our joint counter-terrorism efforts - we have an excellent counter-terrorism partnership with Indonesia - that Abu Bakar Bashir would not be in any position or in any way able to influence or incite anything,” he said. “Let’s not forget that the Bali bombing led to the deaths of Indonesians as well.” [ Australian Associated Press January 22, 2019]

The design of the Dewata Coffee Sanctuary is thought through down to the details. It bears an original logo - a lotus flower - that represents Balinese philosophy, and is inspired by Bali’s Double Ikat weaving technique. What are Bali beaches without their iconic, crystal blue waves? The store’s facade - created using locally-made red bricks in the shape of half circles - was designed to mirror those. Apparently, if you’re driving past, it will appear as though the exterior is moving. The interior of the facility was designed in partnership with local craftspeople and artists, and inspired by traditional Balinese houses. There is an Arabica coffee tree farm spanning 1,000 sq ft (the size of a typical Indonesian farm, according to Starbucks) on the premise that visitors can explore. Those who opt to take a guided tour can experience what it’s like to de-pulp and wash coffee beans during the harvest season in the region. They also get to wash, dry and rake green coffee beans. Bound to catch the eye of a first-time visitor is a 9.1m-tall (30-foot), hand-carved wooden mural that depicts the history of coffee in Indonesia, created to pay tribute to local farmers. On the first floor is the Starbucks Reserve bar which offers customers a taste of its small-batch coffees. The Starbucks Reserve Roasteries have been making waves globally, popping up in destinations such as New York, Seattle and Shanghai. The space also features a 13-metre teak Starbucks core bar -inspired by Bali’s terraced rural landscapes - which offers Starbucks’ signature beverages. The bar features a wall inspired

by flora from the region. Look closely and you’ll notice hand-carved, old-meets-new stone tiles that make up the floor and wall design in the Reserve Bar. Also located on the first floor is this interactive video wall set up to show how coffee is planted, processed, roasted, shipped and brewed. On the second floor is the first coffee seedling nursery to be located inside a Starbucks store. The greenhouse is surrounded by glass panes. Here, visitors can witness and help tend to the first stages of delicate plants. There is also a Balinese farmer present to explain more about coffee plant farming. Adjoined to the nursery is a tasting room which also boasts a wooden theme, and is brightly lit by natural light coming in from the full-length windows. Here, visitors can taste coffee that has not gone through a filter. Many Starbucks fans would be pleased to know that there are some unique drinks offered at the sanctuary – and they look equally as Insta-worthy as the place. According to the Dewata Bali’s menu on its website, the store is offering drinks such as Lavender Latte, House Affogato and Origin Flight. The Lavender Latte is a flowery, candy-like, milky concoction with a rich Reserve espresso, while Starbucks’ House Affogato is made up of two shots of Reserve espresso, Demerara syrup poured over vanilla ice cream, and a dash of cinnamon. The Origin Flight consists of three limited batches of Starbucks Reserve coffee brewed with the “Pour Over brewing method”. There is also a wide variety of food items. Some of the more fascinating ones include Nutella Banana Panini and “so local favourites” – Milk Pie and Indonesian Fresh Salad. And of course, the Starbucks Barista also takes on a Bali twist here. Some Starbucks Baristas don traditional Balinese outfits. [Business Insider Malaysia January 15, 2019]

BOOMER CORNER Different Strokes

An enjoyable subject, no. Confronting, yes. But put denial on the back burner for the few minutes it takes to read this article, it might save your life. When strokes happen we and the people around us need to know what to do and where to go. Strokes are an interruption of blood supply to the brain and are usually associated with known risk factors such as age, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, family history of stroke and diabetes. But we probably know people who have had strokes without any of these factors. Different Strokes In ascending order of severity, we’re looking at Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs), Non-Hemorrhagic strokes (NHS) and Hemorrhagic strokes (HS). A CAT scan is needed to establish the kind of stroke because the treatments differ. In the past few years I’ve known several people who’ve experienced TIAs, which are mini-strokes usually lasting just a few minutes and often causing no permanent damage. They’re typically caused by a blood clot lodged in an artery that supplies the brain. The neurosymptoms of TIA include tingling of the face, slight weakness on one side, slight confusion or a change in voice. If you suspect you’re having a TIA look in the mirror, smile, raise your eyebrows and look for any asymmetry. My sister was with our mother when a TIA occurred. “When I found her it appeared as if she was sleeping and it was very difficult to wake her. When she did come around she couldn’t speak and did not appear to understand what I was saying. She was unsteady on her feet and appeared drunk in her movements. As a First Responder I also witnessed a number of elderly people who had or were having TIAs. All were temporary with no obvious lasting symptoms.” A friend in Ubud had a TIA a year ago. She tells me she felt flu-ish and unwell the day before, the next day felt really unwell, sat down and collapsed slowly with her head on the table. She remembered thinking, “I’m having a stroke” and could not think or move; her mouth drooped on one side. A CAT scan and MRI showed a lesion on the left frontal cortex. She has made a full recovery. Even if a TIA is mild and the effects pass off quickly, it’s still imperative to seek immediate medical attention in case it progresses to a full blown stroke. Most strokes are Ischemic or Non-Hemorrhagic strokes which occur as a result of an obstruction (a blood clot or plaque) within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. The symptoms of an ischemic stroke depend on which part of your brain is affected and can include: • Sudden numbness or weakness of your face, arm, or leg, often on one side of the body • Confusion • Problems speaking or understanding others • Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination or trouble walking • Vision loss or double vision • Sudden severe headache • One side of the face may droop when the person tries to smile Treatment of NHS may require the rapid intravenous injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), also called alteplase, to dissolve the clot. This potent

clot-busting drug ideally is given within three hours or up to 4.5 hours after initial symptoms appear. It restores blood flow by dissolving the blood clot causing the stroke, and it may help people who have had strokes recover more fully. Or the neurointerventionist may use a catheter to remove the clot (thrombectomy).

Hemorrhagic strokes (HS) are due to a ruptured blood vessel within the brain; the symptoms are the same. These are treated by controlling the bleeding, sometimes with surgery. These are much rarer (only about 15 percent of all strokes are hemorrhagic) but more serious, accounting for 40 percent of all stroke deaths. Any stroke is a medical emergency. Early treatment can reduce brain damage. Always have a friend, partner or family member with you in an emergency situation in Bali and take a list of your prescription medications. Any kind of stroke is a medical emergency to ascertain what kind it is and begin appropriate treatment immediately to minimise brain damage. Where To Go According to the very helpful doctor I interviewed at Ubud Care Clinic, most hospitals have a neurologist but your hospital of choice should have a neurointerventionist in case it’s necessary to remove a blood clot. Currently only Siloam and Balimed offer this subspecialty. Most hospitals have a CAT scan but only Siloam and Kasih Ibu Denpasar have an MRI. The tPA is only available at Siloam, Balimed, Mandara Hospital Sanur and Kasih Ibu Denpasar. So the one-stop stroke hospitals which have all three elements -a neurointerventionist, MRI and tPa -- are Siloam for English speakers and Balimed for Indonesian speakers. Post-Stroke The severity of the stroke will influence recovery. The most rapid recovery usually happens within the first four months but improvement can continue over a year or two. Rehabilitation is very important. Bali has several physiotherapists who can train family and staff to help the patient with exercises and movements, usually short sessions several times a day. Recovery depends on many different factors: speed of treatment, location in the brain the stroke occurred, how much of the brain was affected, the patient’s motivation, caregiver support, the quantity and quality of rehabilitation, and how healthy the survivor was before the stroke. It’s important to avoid comparisons because every stroke and stroke survivor is unique. I was primary caregiver to my father, then 88, beginning 6 weeks after a major stroke. He was a kind, funny, considerate man and as our daily routine developed we worked together to make it as interesting as it could be. We sought the dark humour in each challenge, although we never did find the lighter side of incontinence. Papa

recovered his speech and mobility very well and lived another seven years; he never lost his sense of humour. Stroke recovery is a long, steep journey for both the patient and the caregiver. It’s a privilege to care for our loved ones, but it can be exhausting. Clinics and home care services in Bali will rent canes, walkers, wheelchairs, hospital beds and other equipment. Even here in Bali where we are fortunate to have support for housework, cooking, laundry and driving that still leaves visits to doctors and therapists, frequent short physio practices, walks, medication, feeding, bathing and encouragement. Depression and anxiety in the patient are not uncommon during stroke recovery and need sensitive management. Stroke patients need a lot of rest. So do the caregivers. As caregivers, it’s important for the partner/family to understand that this is a long term commitment and they’ll need to practice self care in order not to burn out. Take advantage of the products and services that are available here. Bali One Care is a health care service that supplies all kinds of equipment and also home nursing care services to provide respite for care givers. Sada Jiwa is small private care facility located in Mengwi, about 40 minutes from Ubud, on four hectares of attractive garden. This is an excellent alternative to home care for post-stroke patients, or to provide a week of respite for the carer periodically. Sada Jiwa has a residential post-stroke rehab program which is run in partnership with a Dutch hospital. Staff is caring, English speaking and attentive; two of the nurses were trained in aged care in Japan. Compared to private care in North America, residence at Sada Jiwa is very affordable. A private room with 24 hour nursing care, a doctor on call, meals, medication and physiotherapy costs Rp 500,000 to 800,000 a day. Sada Jiwa also provides home care nurses. www. sadajiwabalicom The time to think and plan is now. If you have a stroke, how will you pay for the acute care and lengthy recovery period? Who will care for you? Medical insurance is not optional, even if you’re a visitor and especially if you live here. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford to be in Bali. We’ve seen far too many cases of illness/accident where patient costs have devolved on the community or crowdfunding to pay for desperately needed medical care. Then there’s the issue of ready money – do you have cash or credit cards to cover costs until the insurance kicks in? Does your partner/a trusted friend have access to your bank account? Talk to your friends your family or your doctor. It will probably never happen but we’re not getting any younger here. Wishing you robust health in 2019.

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS

How many is too many? At this point in time we are popping more vitamins, herbs and other supplements than ever before. The supplement industry is the new Big-Farma. Australians alone are now spending over 8 million dollars a year on supplements that are questionably necessary. It’s true, if you take a vitamin supplement as well as supplemented food such as orange juice, or fortified milk which comes with calcium and vitamin D. Energy bars, meal-replacement drinks, protein shakes, cereal bars, cereal itself - which claim lots of vitamins and minerals, up to 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA), you could end up getting up to 500% of the RDA, maybe more, in one day - up to five times what your body needs. But are we toting up toxic levels of vitamins? And throwing our money away?

The Water Soluble Vitamin C & B’s Most people think it’s fine to take as much Vit C as they want, I know people who take 10,000 mg a day. However, the upper tolerable limit is 2,000 mg a day. The risk for kidney stones can increase with very high doses and other people may get diarrhea. The B’s are generally well tolerated, however very high doses of B3 & B6 can have serious side effects.B supplements may be beneficial for pregnant women, the over 50, those that suffer from anxiety or depression, or people with certain medical conditions that prevent B absorption. The Minerals Like calcium, overloading on potassium supplements is potentially problematic for your ticker. This mineral has a function in regulating your heartbeat, and taking too much of it can cause heart problems. iron and zinc can both easily accumulate in your body and cause various issues, Digestive issues are typically the first sign that something is off, but people can also experience nausea, vomiting, seizures, or a rapid heartbeat. The Herbs Herbs can be very dangerous, particularly for your liver. Herbal and dietary supplements are now are responsible for about 20 percent of liver injury.

The Fat Soluble Vitamins A,D, E & K Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body for longer than water soluble ones are, which generally poses a greater risk for toxicity that water soluble vitamins. The upper tolerable limit for adults is 10,000 IU for vitamin A. You get it from animal foods, fish, and dairy products. Also, beta-carotene (from orange and yellow veggies) gets converted to vitamin A in the body. If you’re taking a multivitamin that contains 5,000 IU, plus getting A-fortified foods in your diet, plus eating foods that contain vitamin A, you’re OK, but it’s the super-A supplements we worry about. It’s easy to overdo it with pills which is of particular concern for pregnant women. Vitamin D is tricky because we need some, and as we get older we need more. Too much can actually cause calcium to leach out of your bones, causing weak bones as well as high levels of calcium in the blood which will cause another set of serious problems. Vitamin D is found in some calcium supplements, and multi vitamins. If you do drink dairy, as well as take calcium with D, AND a multi you could be getting close to the limit. There is focus on vitamin E to prevent Alzheimer’s, heart disease, macular degeneration, cancer etc. The upper tolerable level is 1,000 milligrams (1,500 IU); the RDA is 30 IU, and even higher doses seem to be well tolerated. In an Alzheimer’s study, people took 2,000 IU for four years and did’t have any adverse effects. In another study, people took 800 IU for six years, with no adverse effects.

An “all-natural” herbal product might sound like it’s good for your health, but some common ones, like green tea extract and comfrey tea, can cause injury to your liver - the organ that breaks down medications. Because of the potential risks, it’s important to take precautions if you decide to use a herbal product. Keep these tips in mind: 1. Beware of the big liver offenders. Green tea extract, anabolic steroids, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and flavocoxid (a herb sold to treat arthritis) are among the top substances that can cause liver injury. If you love green tea, rest assured: Drinking up to 10 cups a day is safe. It’s the high doses of green tea extract usually found in weight-loss supplements that cause damage. Certain herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine have also been found to pose some risks. Researchers have identified 28 traditional Chinese medicine herbs and herbal mixtures that have been reported to cause liver toxicity. Meanwhile, comfrey - which is sold as a tea, powder, and capsule - contains several pyrrolizidine alkaloids that may cause liver injury. Chaparral, kava, and skullcap can also damage your liver. 2. Know what’s in it. Some herbal products, such as milk thistle, are known to be safe. But others contain additional ingredients: Green tea extract, for example, is added to many herbal products. And in some cases, supplements don’t list the ingredients at all but make claims that they will flush your liver

C/HE/U-16 Jan 19

3. Check the LiverTox website. The LiverTox website contains valuable information on hundreds of drugs that have been found to damage the liver, including herbal products. 4. Don’t always trust the label. To make matters worse, labels of herbal medications can’t always be trusted. Black cohosh, which is often taken for menopause symptoms, is considered safe. But products labelled as black cohosh have been linked to more than 50 cases of liver injury. In several cases, scientists found herbs from the Chinese actaea species in the supplement rather than black cohosh. Heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria have also been found in supplements. 5. Tell your doctor what herbal products you’re using. Giving your doctor a full list of what you’re taking, including herbal teas or supplements, is extremely important. 6. Look for drug contraindications. Another reason to report any supplements you’re taking to your doctor: They could be working against your prescription medications. St. John’s wort, for example, should be avoided by anyone taking the contraceptive pills or hepatitis C medications. 7. Limit the number of herbal products you take. The ingredients could overlap, and you could end up with a higher dose of something that’s potentially toxic. In general, the fewer drugs you take - including those derived from herbs - the better. Despite our best efforts many people still aren’t getting the right vitamins, either through lack of diet variation or destruction of nutrients through cooking etc. If you’re taking medicine that interferes with nutrient absorption, if you’re an older person whose calorie intake is low, if you’re an athlete, or if you’re pregnant my advice would be to take a multivitamin as insurance. Take a calcium supplement, if you don’t drink much milk. Rather than taking a supplement you’re not sure about, first learn all you can about it, talk with your doctor, and improve your health by considering herbal products in a safe way. A nutritionist can evaluate your diet for deficiencies. Also, some online programs provide the same service. If you are seeing a naturopath or herbalist make sure that they are qualified and experienced. And remember, NATURAL is not necessarily SAFE. The OLEANDER flower is a natural beauty – but it will KILL you. Kim Patra is a qualified Midwife & Nurse Practioner who has been living and working in Bali for over 30 years.

School News

There’s Something New in the Corridors of Taman Rama Intercultural School, Bali. containers, for sale, for students who are unable to source their own. Later this year, the school canteens plan to adopt an identical scheme of water gallon dispensers. The Yuk Go Green Club, an after-school extra-curricular activity for enthusiastic environmentally-concerned students, is on a mission to improve people’s plastic consumption behavior. Disappointed to learn that Indonesia is the second largest plastic polluter in the world¸ the club started a ‘water station’ system in the school corridors.

Participating students learned some very valuable lessons from this experience. Other than building their confidence and practicing their public speaking skills, they also learned how to stay organised, account for money and further practice their techniques of persuasion.

For many years the vast majority of students had purchased plastic bottled water, with relatively few students opting to bring in and use refillable drinking bottles. The Yuk Go Green Club decided to challenge this situation. They started by giving speeches on the environmental benefits of using refillable drinking containers, as opposed to onetime use plastic bottles, to each of the homeroom classes and information announcements during morning assemblies. Club members then took a petition to see how many students could be persuaded to start using a reusable container. “I was at first very nervous when approaching my class, but everyone cooperated so willingly that I felt good about asking,” professed Alicia, Year 11 from Yuk Go Green. Within days a pilot scheme was started with drinking water gallons placed at either ends of the corridor. Students were asked to pay one thousand rupiah into a (biscuit tin) trust box for a 600ml water refill. The ongoing scheme has been very successful so far – certificates have been given to some classes where refillable containers are used by 100% of the students. Yuk Go Green has even purchased a range of reusable plastic

to all Year 9 and Year 10 students. And Advanced Subsidiary Environmental Management is an optional international examination subject offered in Year 11. The syllabus is wide-ranging and topics cover issues related to the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Students are able to create their own in-depth research projects based on regional environmental issues and concerns. Past project submissions from our students have included; Testing the water quality at different points of Denpasar’s main rivers and canals; The environmental impact of a new hotel being built; Air pollution; The pros and cons for Balinese farmers growing various types of rice; Habitat loss for Indonesia’s orangutans, and Bali’s coral reefs, just to mention a few. On five occasions, in 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017, Taman Raman Intercultural School students achieved The Highest Mark in Indonesia for IGCSE Environmental Management in the annual Outstanding Cambridge Learners Awards. A number of our alumni students have chosen to study Environmental Science-related university courses, some have even continued to Masters level, and several are now working as environmental consultants.

‘This has been such a great experience for all of us. It has brought us out of our shells and out of our comfort zones. Against all odds, we have stayed together achieving our first goals. Everyone in the club feels accomplished, and we give our biggest thanks to our wonderful school community, the intercultural students as well as the teachers and helpers for their contribution, cooperation and acceptance of the challenge to make a difference in the plastic consumption of Indonesia.’ Yuk Go Green Club.

The school’s Yuk Go Green Club, with members from Secondary Year 7 to Advanced Year 12, is busy preparing its next challenges. They have already conducted workshops on how to convert old t-shirts into reusable bags. As they plan the eradication of unnecessary packaging and plastic bags!

With daily wildlife shows, feeding times, a theatre showing films about Indonesia’s avian diversity and conservation challenges, and more, the Park is great fun for kids and adults alike. My daughter still talks years later about having lorikeets eat out of her hand at one of the bird feeding sessions. The Park also has a reptile section, including Balinese and Indonesian snakes and a real Komodo Dragon.

The Park is about 20 minutes drive from either Ubud or Sanur, and about 40 minutes from Kuta, in Batubulan and is open daily from 9 am to 5:30 pm. You can call them on 0361 299352 or email at info@balibirdpark.com. Check out the daily schedule of events on their website, www. balibirdpark.com. You can book tickets and guided tours through the website. A little known fact about the Bali Bird Park: if you have the bad luck to be bitten by a snake in Bali, the Park stocks anti-venom because of their reptile collection and can send them to any hospital for treating a patient.

Balinese Beauty Secrets Balinese women have long used nature’s gifts to beautify themselves. While today Western-style cosmetics, with dubious ingredients, are the order of the day on the island, many Balinese women continue to use traditional recipes to produce their own botanicals. Ketut Jasi and Dewi Rusty are two such women. Both have started their own natural beauty product lines and run regular workshops for those who care about nourishing their skin.

Cantika Zest

village just outside Ubud, Ubud Botany Interactive’s workshops focus on transforming herbs, leaves, fruit and flowers into natural beauty products. During the 90-minute sessions, participants create four body care products including a hibiscus shampoo, a sunscreen and two boreh or body scrubs. All products are made from locally-sourced plants, and packaged in banana leaves and recycled bottles to ensure minimal impact on the environment. At the end of the workshops, all participants are emailed an illustrated recipe book.

Inspired by one woman’s passion for sharing traditional Balinese skincare recipes, the Cantika Zest line of beauty products originated back in 1997 with the opening of Jasmine, a spa in the then quiet village of Penestanan, just outside Ubud. Since then, Ketut Jasi has opened two other spas — Alami in Sok Wayah, on the way to Sari Organic, and Zest on the outskirts of Penestanan village. It is at Zest that Jasi spends most of her days and shares her wisdom about the healing power of plants during twohour workshops. The airy and colorful space is also where most of the products used at her three spas are made. The workshops start with a garden tour where Jasi imparts her knowledge of the benefits of various medicinal plants and herbs such as ginger, turmeric and cinnamon. This is followed by a tour of Zest’s kitchen and the workspace where the products are prepared. During the workshops, participants learn how to make a variety of products using locally-sourced ingredients including a scrub, a face mask and a moisturizing lotion. All parts of the plants are used to ensure zero waste. In line with tradition, the products are made using traditional tools including a volcanic stone motar and pestle and a wooden grater with banana leaf to extract juices out of plants. On top of this, Jasi also explains how her recipes can be replicated outside Bali using plants and ingredients available in different climates. Jasi’s beauty products can also be purchased in the Cantika Zest shop. Select from natural face creams, beauty masques, lip balms, shampoos, soaps and conditioners. A refilling service is offered for those with their own containers. https://cantikazestspabali.com

Ubud Botany Interactive Run by Dewi Rusty, who grew up in a farming family in a

Other Natural Bali Brands Here are three other Bali self-care brands that contain natural ingredients.

Bali Balance Made to nourish the skin and hair, all Bali Balance products are vegan-friendly, and free of nasties such as chemical and parabens. Some of the more popular Bali Balance products include Face Serum 24/7, which contains aloe vera, vitamins C and E, and lavender essential oil; Sunblock 50+ with zinc, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, coconut oil and aloe vera; and shampoo and conditioner with raw coconut oil and rosemary essential oil. Alternatively, opt for an 100 percent natural insect repellent or a Bali Balance natural candle. http://balibalance.net

Utama Spice

Those looking for a more indepth experience can join Dewi’s Combined Tour, which includes the Botanical Products Workshop and a 90-minute walk through Ubud countryside. During the walk, Dewi uses the knowledge she gained while studying botany and agriculture at the Udayana University in Denpasar, to talk about the properties of Bali’s native plants and crops, and how they can be used in food, body care products and traditional medicine. Those who don’t have time to attend one of Dewi’s workshops can visit the Ubud Botany Interactive store, which stocks a huge range of natural products. Select from 100-percent-steam-distilled essential oils, face creams, body and hair care products, hand and body lotions, body scrubs, sunscreens, and natural insect repellents. Alternatively, opt for a healing or detox tea, honey or coconut oil—all chemical-free and produced using environmentally-friendly traditional processes. http://www.ubudbotany.com

Based on traditional Balinese knowledge of the medicinal value of herbs and spices, the Utama Spice botanicals are 100 percent natural. Plus, the majority of the products are handmade by young women under 30 from villages near Ubud. The Utama Spice range includes deodorants, face creams, masks, scrubs, bath and shower liquids, as well as shampoos. The company also makes essential oils, insect repellents and yoga mat sprays. https://utamaspicebali.com/

Sensatia Botanicals Sensatia Botanicals is a profit-sharing cooperative that distributes 20 percent of its profits to its employees. Dating back to 2000 when it was set up in Karangasem, Sensatia Botanicals produces a huge range of beauty products, including creams, cleansers, soaps, shampoos, conditioners and sunscreens. Try the green tea and tamarind facial cleanser, calming chamomile facial toner or jasmine sambac facial serum. https://sensatia.com/id/ By Anita Copyright © 2019 Bali Advertiser You can read all past articles of BA Feature Article at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

Restaurant Review

Taste Explosions!

SANGSAKA offers the amazing combination of international standards with the spices of Indonesia utilising the expert skill of chef Kieran Moreland. It is an off shoot of the successful Merah Putih but oh so different. Merah Putih is bold and brassy, whereas Sangsaka is reserved and intimate, almost hidden behind the native shrubbery half way between Brabant and Petitenget, and so hidden can be difficult to find, but well worth the effort.

It is always a pleasant surprise to discover dishes that are both healthy and taste great. Such was the Sayur Labu, a mix of zucchini flower, banana heart, pumpkin and smoked coconut. Or what could be healthier than Jagung, just a kenari crusted corn cob in chilli butter. Even the simple Bak Pao is different, inside is chicken that was cooked Opor style in coconut milk. Betutu is a slab of duck breast cooked with those Balinese betutu spices and long beans, pumpkin and basa gede [nuts, ginger, turmeric and chillies]. Then there is the Pangsit, a langoustine dumpling with red peppers and coconut bisque or the top of the range a Beef Satay using oyster blade black Angus with cashews, soy and shallots. For me the champ of the small plates was the Mie Udang, house prepared turmeric noodles tossed with garlic, chilli and yabbie flesh, a large yabbie sitting on top [pictured], although the strongly flavoured Babi Panggang [pork belly, smoked octopus] ran it a close second.

Their interpretation of that fine dining ‘amuse bouche’ is a forewarning of what is yet to come. Three small bite size creations with contrasting taste explosions. Essential to your order must be at least one serving of Roti Bakar, a quartered round of flat bread made with purple potato, dips of eggplant and tuturuga [pandan infused flavor from Manado], so easy to snack on. The selection of small dishes is so tempting that it is possible to just make a meal of these, particularly as most are large enough to share between two diners. The main problem here is of choosing what to eat, so many tempting taste offerings. One of the most interesting is also one of the cheapest. Bebek Rica Rica, a generous slab of duck meat flavoured with those of Manado, leek, chilli and kemangi [lemon basil], served on a rice pancake which you fold around it and devour with a satisfied smile.

The mains cover every food group. Fish is the Ikan Menyatnyat, tempe crusted Emperor with taro and leek in a torch ginger curry. Udang Bumbu Bali combines ‘monster’ king prawn with tiger prawn, chilli, spinach and cilok [an Indonesian special of tapioca flour, ground toasted dried shrimp, thinly sliced scallions]. The Lamb is Shank with onions and lamb rissoles [meat balls, an Aussie touch from chef].

The selections continue with quail, suckling pig and beef cheek. For those who must have a steak there is a Rib Eye that has been wood roasted served with potato and oxtail, or for a dish shared between two; a real Wagyu, the Kagoshima Sirloin. Three extra sambals can be ordered as sides, rice can be coconut rice or fried [with pork and prawn]. Then there are Broccoli Fritters or a side of wing beans and red beans. For first-timers the recommendation is to use the Tasting Menu, nine different dishes in five servings. A wonderful introduction to the incredible tastes of Indonesia, which was not called the Spice Islands for nothing. Carefully crafted by a talented chef.

Update Naughty Nuri’s Seminyak is actually on Jln Mertanadi, Kerobokan. Whilst Ribs are obviously the specialty of this franchise, unlike the original in Ubud they also offer quite an interesting menu of other options. The most recent additions to the menu have been a full range of different burgers. The Pulled Pork Burger [pictured] has tender shredded pork meat and coleslaw. They also offer Vegetarian, Chicken and Pork Loin burgers to add to their original Classic Burger. Another new menu item is their interesting Chicken Parmigiana. It is the New York Italian version of what was once just an eggplant dish in Italy, breaded chicken with tomato salsa on the side. Access to this outlet is aided by a large car park at the rear of the restaurant, a rarity these days in Bali.

menu is very different to the norm. An Indonesian creation is the Sauteéd Quinoa and Fried Onion with soy sauce, tempeh and chili, to which you can add eggs, chicken or bacon [but only the beef variety…why, this is BALI!] The all day menu is more snacks than mains. Crispy sweet potato chips, smoked paprika salt, Hummus Dip, Truffle oil & Parmesan, a Hummus Platter with sourdough strips, carrot, cucumber, paprika, hummus, olive oil, an Asian Crunchy Salad of chopped red and white cabbage, chopped Romaine lettuce, chopped bell peppers, carrots julianne, Edamame beans, cucumber, cilantro, avocado, peanuts, lime and pesto or a Warm Bowl [Quinoa brown rice, masala glazed carrots, roast pumpkin, Bawang Goreng, Charred corn, onsen egg, pesto, chicken and edamame].

Tapa Bistro is on Jln. Nusa Dua Selatan. It is open only evenings but is already the new rage location for tapas in the area with its pre-order and pick up service very popular. Specials are the Goat Cheese Ravioli, Trio of Scallops and the Veal Carpaccio with foie gras. It is a stylish place that provides a relaxing experience with tasty food.

The Smoothie Shop Café, is in Mandala Village on Jln. Pantai Balangan. It has created quite a reputation as more and more people make a point of dropping in for a smoothie, breakfast or snack. The fare is super healthy with organic produce, hand-squeezed juices, house-roasted granola and even almond milk for your coffee.

Hippie Fish is Ubud’s first specialty seafood restaurant. Located in central Ubud on Jln. Raya Ubud, it is open till late evening. It is self-styled as Mediterranean, not sure why? However it has an extensive seafood menu and gives the impression of very professional management. Bali Praia Café is on Sunset Road, Seminyak. Open for breakfast it can be small [eggs on sourdough toast], large [eggs, bacon, with choice of chicken or beef sausages] or healthy [fruit salad with granola, coconut cream]. Their main

Bow was one of the first restaurants on Batu Belig and unlike many others that have been and gone it is still packing them in, day and night. The reason is, simply, their menu, whether it is for breakfast, brunch [served all day] or a relaxing lunch. The many egg dishes include the mandatory Benedict but with a few variations, a Mexican Huevos Rancheros with beans, salad and tortilla or a French Oeuf Cocotte. Serious eating can be Grilled Sardines, Smoked Salmon with buckwheat blinis, sour cream, dill, capers and lemon, or a hearty seafood Bouillabaisse. Mains can be a simple Chilli con Carne or Shepherd’s Pie or the more substantial Caribbean spicy chicken with habanero and yuzu, Haitian

C/R/I-30 Jan 19

‘grilot’ pork, oven-baked corned beef, Hungarian Goulash using Wagyu beef or Couscous with N.Z. Lamb.

Warung Cantina offers food with a view. At the end of Jln. Batu Belig it is surprisingly reasonable priced as compared to most other beach front locations. The food is simple fare but very acceptable. Seafood curries and other local dishes are best. It is a happy spot to sip and snack whilst watching the Bali sunset without being ripped off with entrance fees, etc. Benih Café is hidden away on Jln. Benesari, Kuta, but worth the effort to find. Benih is very popular for breakfast and brunch, excellent Benedict, traditional or with cured salmon, smoothie bowls and a full range of light and full meals. Indigo on Jln. Pantai Berawa, Canggu, is quality Japanese. They offer classic dishes as well as their innovative ‘new style’ sashimi and the unusual Yakimono dishes cooked over the charcoal grill. Start with a refreshing Soba Noodle Salad or Alaskan King Crab and Tuna Tartare. The new style Sashimi can be Salmon, Otoro, Red Snapper or Scallop. Their Yakimono can be seafood, chicken or beef. For something very different try the Gyoza stuffed with foie gras. For lunch their de luxe BENTO boxes are the way to go.

The Birds & The Bees is yet another zany name for a Bali restaurant. This one is on Jln. Monkey Forest on Ubud at what was once Lotus Lane [one of the last of the Lotus restaurants in Bali, the original Café Lotus in Ubud having reverted back to the property owner years ago]. An attractive fit out presents it as a happy place, the menu caters for the gluten free crowd with even g/f pizzas. Lettuce Cups and gin-infused cocktails are the specialty of the house…. different!

Siapa... ? Dan Quinn: Conquering Indonesia’s Volcanoes Dan Quinn was born in Ipswich in southern England and grew up near the Lake District. Much of his spare time in his youth was spent exploring the hills and mountains of England, Wales and Scotland. As a teenager, he visited megalithic sites and when he began studying philosophy at university in London in 1999 he discovered the vital importance of non-urban landscapes. On his first trip to Asia in 2009, Dan discovered the vastness of Indonesia with its extraordinary variety of landscapes and geology and large mountainous regions. In 2009, Dan and a friend started the “Gunung Bagging” website with the aim of providing English language information on Indonesia’s volcanos.

swam in the sea, sipped beers and strummed guitars. What a brilliant weekend trip from Jakarta! As most readers are now probably aware, just a few weeks later the volcano collapsed catastrophically, creating a tsunami that killed over 400 people on the mainlands of Java and Sumatra. According to some reports, Rakata would have been hit by a wave of between 15 and 30 meters high in less than a minute. Our campsite would have been completely wiped out. Are there any Indonesian peaks that are forbidden to climb?

How big a sector in Indonesia’s tourism industry is mountain tourism? It plays a reasonably large role in domestic tourism, with hundreds if not thousands of local hikers camping on Java’s tallest peaks every weekend. But Indonesia still isn’t especially well-known internationally for its mountains, with the exception of a small number including Rinjani and Bromo, but it definitely ought to be. The word just hasn’t gotten out yet. With this dearth of information, aren’t many would-be international climbers missing out on worthwhile peaks to climb? There are many, many fantastic peaks in Indonesia that are rarely hiked. This is sometimes because there is no actual forest trail that is sufficiently well used. This is a problem because if hikers don’t regularly use trails, they soon become overgrown and then disappear again entirely! It can then take days to create them anew. Examples include Gunung Raya and Gunung Sumbing in Jambi (not to be confused with Gunung Sumbing in Central Java). Others are simply less well-known because they are in remote and more sparsely-populated regions. The island of Halmahera has some fabulous volcanoes including Gamkonora, Ibu and Dukono but it takes a long time to get there from Jakarta or Bali and those without Indonesian language skills may find it challenging. There are also those which are accessible yet somewhat overlooked, such as Gunung Liman and Gunung Lamongan in East Java. Are Indonesian peaks riskier than those of other countries? Indonesia contains more volcanoes than any other country in the world and they can be very dangerous to climb. One Saturday night back in November 2018, along with a small group of friends, I camped on the island of Rakata to watch the neighboring island Anak Krakatau erupt at regular intervals. It was an utterly stunning sight to see rocks the size of cars ejected from the crater and witness lava cascade down the side of the volcano as we

Yes! There are lots of local beliefs that can make a hike difficult or impossible. Sadly, all women are forbidden from hiking up Gunung Sorikmarapi in Sumatra due to traditional local beliefs. Sometimes hiking bans are seasonal. For example, the main route up Gunung Sirung on Pantar Island is closed at certain times as it’s thought the cashew nut crop would fail should anyone hike to the top. I wish someone had told me and my friend about this before we spent two days just getting to the foot of the volcano! What specific preparation?

expedition

level

Any treks that last more than two days or are a long distance from help and phone signals. That means a huge number of peaks in Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Java and Bali are much easier as there is usually someone ready to give you an ojek ride at any time of day or night and there are only one or two peaks on those islands that are genuinely remote or receive few visitors. How much preparation is needed to climb your “average” mountain? Although you can often turn up at the last village on the way to the top, point at the mountain and someone will be ready to help within a few minutes, climbing mountains for which you need to make more formal arrangements can be very time-consuming. As a foreigner who works and pays tax here, it can be deeply frustrating to have to argue whether you should pay the local rate for entry or the foreign rate which can be up to thirty times the local rate. At present there is no centralized online system to buy entry tickets

and rules and conditions change quite frequently. This means that it is advisable to double-check before your planned trek, especially if it is to an active volcano which can be closed at short notice. What are Indonesia’s most dangerous volcanoes? Aside from Anak Krakatau, the most dangerous are probably Merapi near Yogyakarta, Kelud in East Java and Karangetang on the island of Siau in North Sulawesi. These volcanoes cause destruction and death on a regular basis but their typical or cyclical characteristic behaviors are such that there is usually sufficient time to warn people to stay away. Others have ‘personalities’ that appear to change over time such as Sinabung in North Sumatra which was pretty quiet for 400 years before becoming dangerously active in 2010 and not letting up since and remaining impossible to hike except by the suicidal. It is easy to see why animism is such an important part of many indigenous belief systems when you have active volcanoes near settlements. Perhaps Sinabung’s typical pattern of behavior for four centuries is simply too lengthy for humans to comprehend clearly unless they zoom out and think over a much longer time period. What are your personal favorites? I really like Gunung Butak (2868 m) near Batu in East Java. It’s less popular than its taller neighbors but offers wonderful views at dawn and dusk and a lovely camping area. The sound of the wind gently blowing through the pine trees up there is a transcendental experience. The most memorable hikes are usually those when you get lucky with a combination of good weather, clear views, friendly competent guides and good conversation. How do Bali’s Agung, Batur and Batukaru compare with the big boys like Semeru, Kerinci and Puncak Jaya? Well, you can hike all three of Bali’s most famous peaks without having to camp for the night so that certainly makes them more attractive to those without the extra equipment or time. Agung is still a serious hike, with a considerable ascent from Pura Besakih of well over 2000 meters. Up and down in one night and you’ll definitely need a couple of days to let your knees recover!

Letters To Bali Advertiser “Go Fund” My Stupidy Dear Sir, It always amazes me how people can come on holidays, especially to Bali, with no Insurance, no idea of how to ride a motor scooter, no licence to ride a scooter, and the BIG one..they think that it is OK to bring in drugs.

Tel. : (0361) 755 392 E-mail: info@baliadvertiser.biz

You only have to see the FB pages of people who have had terrible accidents with scooters and have no insurance and they set up a GO FUND ME page to ask other people to pay for it. Travel insurance is a must if you are outside your country and is worth every cent if you should have an accident. By the way, if you do not have a licence to ride a motor bike then your insurance will not pay for your stupidity. Now, the BIG one…DRUGS…if you think for 1 minute that you can skive past those eagle eyed customs guys at the airport then you are truly stupid. You will be caught or, they will allow you enter the country and then follow you, and when you least expect it they will come knocking on your door and invite you to stay at Kerobokan Hotel for a while

whilst they sort out your permanent accommodation. Well, this is stupid by all accounts, BUT then that person sets up a GO FUND ME page to pay for their legal representation, and they ask people to donate lots of money. How stupid is that? What sort of people are going to give money to a person who has been arrested for drugs in Bali? Stupid people!!!! Drugs here are a big problem, and the people who try to smuggle them in are, by definition, “drug smugglers”. There is a response to the smuggling of drugs and it is not a nice one, as you will read on the signs at the airport upon your arrival. So, if you want to come to this beautiful island, please do have a licence to ride a bike, and do NOT bring in drugs or your accommodation with be provided by the government of Bali..no star rating!!.. but hey! It will be all you deserve. Have a lovely day Gia
