MUSIC MATTERS By Toby Greetings musical cosmonauts and welcome to this conspiracy orientated issue of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. This week sees the end of a very different and very musical Olympic Games in Rio, a crazy adventure into the world of Russian / German politics and earthquakes in Rome that has hit parts of Vatican City. If this is the end times we are living through they are definitely living up to their hype! This week for those of you who don’t know the German government decided to tell its citizens to prepare 10 days food and water for the coming weeks. The US dollar looks shakier than ever, as does Hillary Clinton who may pull out of the race for the white house altogether due to very questionable health issues. Russia and Germany have declared each other enemies, and the Chinese Government is accused of abducting and torturing peaceful Falun Gong practitioners and using them as slave labour and selling their organs for profit to the West. We are definitely living in interesting times, so it is only natural that conspiracies abound in our world view. Musically there have been many huge conspiracies that have come and gone, but one that is still setting the musical world on fire surrounds the death or, supposed death (I should say) of Michael Jackson. Everyone and his grandmother know the name, they know the moon walk, and they know his trademark hat and they also know that there were many conspiracies and rumours surrounding his private life with accusations of improper conduct with children at his Never Land ranch the focus of media attention for decades and they know the story of how it all came down to a final show trial before Michael mysteriously died.

The official story said Michael died of some sort of tranquiliser overdose but many people believe that this whole thing was a massive hoax and the world’s biggest pop star is actually still very much alive. On 25/06/2009 with conflicting reports over the actual reported time of death Michael Jackson was found overdosed on a prescribed surgical drug named as Propofol . According to those who believe the conspiracy what later followed a made for TV 2.25 hours allegedly staged memorial service with questionable behaviour from Michael’s family who had offered the rights free of charge to all major (24) hour worldwide broadcasting networks, and then 90 days later a very weird, also (supposedly) staged televised funeral. The conspiracy goes something along the lines that Michael is present and alive at both the memorial service and his own funeral, and is in fact incognito hidden in the crowd disguised as an old man (where he is on his phone directing the entire event) One thing which rings true was the fact he was very famous for being a master of disguise and had made himself look like a very convincing older man in his 1980’s film Ghost. But the real question is if this is the case then why? Why would a singer as talented as Michael just disappear and fake his own death. Well he was hounded by the media, being accused of heinous acts and was generally regarded as a weirdo, so if you were him the notion of disappearing from this life and putting on a mask to become someone else and live a completely separate and different life does sound pretty appealing. The musical conspiracy goes deeper than this though as according to some Michael wasn’t the first or indeed the last and the list stretches as far back as Elvis, and as recent as both Prince and David Bowie! I am kind of in agreement with the Bowie fake, as just after his death I was watching the news and caught an interview with some seedy looking music producer about the life work and legacy of the late DB. There were several strange things about this guy, first he was representing a record label I had never ever heard of yet claimed to be an authority on the

singer, second he was speaking about Bowie like he knew every intricate detail of his life, third he actually looked and sounded (a lot) like I would expect DB to look and sound after some extensive plastic surgery, and fourth when talking about the late pop stars life he regularly slipped up and spoke in first person saying I did that etc. The interview was very strange and lead me personally to believe that David Bowie is not dead but very much alive and well and using an alter ego in his later years of life. Conspiracies’ in the music industry go further with the formation of the legendary 27 club, If you do not know the 27 club is when a famous musician reaches 27 he or she died at that age. Famous members include Jimmie Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Amie Winehouse, Janis Joplin and many many more. The death of Kurt Cobain himself is a massive conspiracy topic as some people believe that he did not commit suicide but was murdered by his partner and lover Courtney Love who then became the lead singer of Hole. Whatever happens in this crazy world you can be assured that the entertainment industry and the lives of the people in it will be crazier, and conspiracies about their lives and deaths will continue for as long as there is music on earth. So believe whatever you like but do take the chance to have a look for yourselves on this topic it makes fascinating reading, and it makes me personally very happy to believe some of these great musicians are not dead, but as is frequently said of Elvis “He just got tired and went home!” well that’s if you believe he was an alien!!!! (Laughter). Ok folks thanks for reading, that’s all for this very different edition of Music Matters. Next issue I’m back to doing some good old fashioned reviews so look out for that and remember the words. “If you’re not paranoid then you’re not paying attention.” Until next time keep it live and make it matter!

SCHEDULE THAT Balinale (24 – 26 September)

Hackers & Slackers (17 September)

This film festival is Bali’s answer to Hollywood and a big treat for lovers of film. With over ten years of experience this year is going to be bigger and better than ever. Bali has many reasons to boast and is aiming to bring film and the arts to its shores and promote locations here. Bali was really put on the map internationally as a great destination for filming with the film Eat, Pray, Love where Elizabeth Gilbert discovers love in Bali. The festival will feature workshops, film industry forums, free seminars and lots of films to watch at Bali’s newest and best cinema complex. The theme this year is ‘No Boundaries’ and is indeed a very fitting title for an island that shows no limits to all areas of life. The website is comprehensive with times and various locations in Kuta.

I had no clue what this meant until I investigated further and found that it is yet another note worthy charity event. This is a carnival in which all the family and all the community are invited to come along with a golfing theme. It is worth it especially for the children who are going to love the bouncy castle and enjoy the magic tricks of the magician. As with all carnivals there will be food stalls and plenty of activities for the whole family. The beneficiary is ‘I Am Hope’ a foundation that supports cancer charities such as Yayasan Kasih Anak Kankor Bali. The children being supported by this foundation have been invited to come along with their families and enjoy a great day out. It is great to see such a worthy cause benefitting. The idea is to promote a passion for golf and all that it has to offer. For every Tournament fee IDR100,000 per person will be deducted and given to the charities. The entrance fee will also be donated to help support cancer institutions. Every participant which includes players and carnival visitors will receive a bracelet of hope as recognition of their support. It is a good opportunity to travel north and enjoy a great day out while at the same time supporting a worthy cause.

BIWA Annual Charity Bazaar (30 October) Bali International Women’s Association (BIWA) will hold its famous Charity Bazaar soon so do make a note in your diary now. There will be roughly 200 stalls offering a great variety of merchandise and food, providing a great opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping. I know it is still August but we all know how fast time flies especially the older you get! Christmas might seem far away but I am just wondering where this year has gone! A full-day program of spectacular music and dance performances are scheduled and it is guaranteed to be a fun day for the whole family. Proceeds from the bazaar will help to support various social welfare projects which are carefully monitored by BIWA in regard to need and financial integrity. Projects include sewing courses for financial independency, funding to help abandoned babies as well as assistance to allow mentally disabled and hearing impaired children go to school. BIWA also provides cooking equipment to help empower women among other very worthy assistance programs. Most BA readers and long term residents of Bali are familiar with BIWA and what they stand for but for new readers here is a bit of background information about this amazing group of ladies. BIWA is a secular, nonprofit and non-political charity association for women from different nations and cultures residing in Bali. The organization provides aid for all people in Bali, particularly women and children by offering help and resources to local families who have been left indigent as the result of the rapid changes in society. BIWA’s record of social welfare programs is impressive, spanning more than four decades. BIWA was established in 1974 by what is known as the Seven Fearless Women, an eclectic mix of Indonesian and foreign women who came together regularly to support each other as they faced the challenges of a developing society. The concept of a money society came to Bali quite late. For years the Balinese conducted commerce through a barter system, which meant most jobs were related to the daily needs of life. There was less debt, more food and very little stress. The transition to a money culture has been difficult for an agrarian based society like Bali where the Subak system is the security of the banjar; a clear priority to please the Gods, the ancestors and the harmony of life. Continuing these traditions in a modern capitalist economy has many challenges. BIWA has developed into a resource for women in Bali who have been left indigent as the result of the rapid changes of a modern society. The community is encouraged and invited to come along to the Bazaar and enjoy a fun-filled day with friends and family while supporting a worthwhile cause.

Ultra Beach Festival (15 – 16 September) Festivals are big business across the globe and have become one of the most sought after things to do amongst music lovers and party people. From the very famous ‘Burning Man’ festival in the desert of the United States to Glastonbury across the Atlantic in the UK festivals attract people in their thousands. I really don’t see the attraction of a cold rainy day walking through mud which is often the case in the UK but it doesn’t appear to put people off. However, unless the weather in Bali is unseasonal it should be a glorious day for the festival. Yes, Bali is going to come a live with a two day music festival at the beach front of Potato Head Beach Club. This event follows Japan and will continue to Ibiza, Chile and Brazil. It has definitely been a great year for Brazil too as the Olympic host. The price seems to be the going rate for festivals these days but it is guaranteed non stop entertainment and fun. Tickets are selling like hot cakes so do make sure you book as soon as you can on-line to avoid disappointment. When Cost Where

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

The Naked Traveler by Trinity The Naked Traveler is a one-of-a-kind travel book written from the perspective of a young woman who has distinguished herself as an Indonesian traveler on an almost messianic quest to make her country more understandable to outsiders. Taken together, her series of 2-3 page stories are an astute study of how tourist experiences can differ according to one’s cultural influences, in varying parts of the country and in different settings. Trinity’s popular travel blog, travel books and passion for travel have taken her all over Indonesia and to 70 countries in 6 continents abroad. In 2005, she started Indonesia’s first travel blog (naked-traveler.com), which by 2007 had attracted the notice of publishers. Trinity went on to publish a total of 12 printed and online travel books – seven of them bestsellers – that have inspired a whole generation of young Indonesians to travel. Taking part in a panel at the 2001 Ubud Writers and Reader’s Festival presented the freelance writer to an even wider audience. The notoriety spurred her to get her books published in English. The author chose “naked” in the title because it means something that’s not shielded and glossed over. Unlike most travel writing, which tends to rhapsodize about the beauty and attractiveness of a place, Trinity’s blog and books cover both the positive and the negative. Her impressions of a journey and the destination itself are raw, impulsive and unpolitically correct. Her straightforward writing has drawn a barrage of criticism and even threats. Being a “naked traveler,” is not considered proper in the “small talk” (basa-basi) culture of Indonesia where nothing may be said that offends. Trinity, who born in Sukabumi in West Java but spent half her life in Jakarta, grew up in a family following two religions. She celebrated Christmas with her father’s family and Leberan with her mother’s family. This rich genealogical, religious and social background has made her sharp observer of the people and places encountered in her travels. As a native Indonesian, she is considerably more knowledgeable about Indonesian geography, landmarks, culture, language, slang, regional cuisines, folk wisdom, legends, ethnic stereotypes and customary law than the vast majority of Westerners writing about the country. She brings so much prior knowledge and informed opinion with her on her travels that she is able to handily compare diverse customs. Footnotes explain her numerous cultural references that translate animals, weapons, plants, forms of address, religious terms, bureaucratic formalities, official titles, literal phrases, ethnic dishes and beverages, transport vehicles, national holidays, musical instruments, regional clothing, types of illnesses, etc. Like many Indonesians, she is given to superstition and is terrified of ghosts, djinn (evil spirits), haunted buildings and statues turning their heads to follow pedestrians. In an essay comparing the potency of chilies in Sasak, Menadonese and Florinese cooking, she laments about the lack of explosive spiciness in European, American and other Asian foods. Trinity regularly welcomes friends whom she met during her world travels to her home in Jakarta. Because of her close ties with people from foreign lands and her long experience in Western cultures, she has developed sensibilities uncharacteristic of her fellow countrymen: a revulsion against littering, religious intolerance, excessive noise, eating dog meat, vandalizing ancient archaeological sites and how the annoying behavior of domestic tourists contrasts so

markedly from the way tourists behave in other countries. She is equally as frustrated as a Westerner would be when she encounters closed museums, disrespectful service, bureaucratic ineptitude, unguarded archaeological treasures, prohibitions against taking photographs at tourist attractions and conditions on a small, hot, cramped boat with 26 passengers confined to tiny stuffy cabins. This travel writer displays a pronounced antipathy towards modernization, recounting the unrecognizable changes that have taken place between the times of her first visited to Lombok and Banda Aceh and her visits to those places years later. She seeks out remote, non-commercial, undiscovered destinations, particularly if they are hard-to-get-to islands, stretches of empty unspoiled beaches and breathtaking soft coral reefs lit up like a Christmas tree. Her tales are often entertaining with good-humored pokes at bule, her travel companions, trying local foods and crossing seas and climbing mountains on Komodo without seeing a single dragon.

The book is full of recommendations and hot travel tips. She advises taking foreign guests shopping. “Wherever they come from, who doesn’t like factory outlets?” The seldom-visited traveler’s gems she finds, particularly those cited in the chapter “The Nine Best Beaches in Indonesia,” are nothing less than a siren’s call to explore the far reaches of the archipelago. Often the only Indonesian visitor, she notices that protected island resorts catering to Western tourists are always in quiet, sheltered locations with no hawkers or food stalls.

Trinity seems habituated to pushing the envelope. She gets a thrill out of visiting offbeat places like Muara Jambi Temple Complex in undeveloped touristically-challenged Jambi Province, the pockmarked “Tin Island” of Bangka Island in the Riau Islands off East Sumatra and swimming in her bikini in the waters off Pulau Weh - the only province in Indonesia that follows Islamic law. But she’s also adaptable. Even though she’s non-Muslim, for the sake of expediency she wears long sleeves and a headscarf if the circumstances call for it. She’s always game to try weird things, an unusual new cuisine or a scary tour that visits haunted sites where a child, priest or family had died. The Naked Traveler should be required reading for inveterate Indonesia travelers and tourism professionals specializing in Indonesia. Trinity’s unsugarcoated compilation of stories tell what travel is really like in an exotic but socially conservative country written from the point of view of a well-traveled woman from that exotic country. But in spite of all her worldliness, this writer retains throughout her book a humility, a naiveté and a delightful childlike wonder at the beauty of a sunset, girls swimming in skirts and long pants, a totally pink beach, the sensory pleasure of warung food or the fearful power of a storm at sea - never ceasing to be surprised and grateful for the traveling life she has chosen for herself. The Naked Traveler by Trinity, published by B first (PT Bentang Pustaka) 2013, ISBN 978-602-8864-95-4, softcover, 186 pages.

Treat Dad to a Day Off From the Dishes! Though it may not be Dad’s Day everywhere around the globe on September 4th, The Canggu Club is celebrating Fathers the world over with their hot deals to let your “Bapak” know he’s the best! Entrance to Bistro C Restaurant and Sports Bar is free for all to enjoy on Sunday 4th September. Dad can sit back and relax and enjoy the ‘Bucket ‘o’ Beer’ deal, buy 5 Bintang or Heineken and they’ll throw in an extra brew for free! Wine drinkers are well

So Much More Than Your Average Kebab @ Stickman Food on a stick is clearly not news to Bali. Street side satays have long been the favoured food when one is ‘lapar’ and looking for a quick takeaway treat, but Stickman BBQ on Jalan Pantai Berawa is taking these skewered delights to tasty new heights! A relative newcomer to the ever expanding Berawa food fair, Stickman has adopted the age old concept of beachside BBQ and transformed it into what is fast becoming my new fave. Simple, yet so delicious, your meat of choice is thoroughly rubbed with a ﬂavoursome fusion of herbs and spices, skewered, then seared over a BBQ of Balinese coffee wood to add a unique island essence. All meals (with the exception of the pita) are accompanied by a serve of barbecued spud, homemade pickled cucumber and a side of coleslaw ﬂavoured with a delish dressing that hints of sesame! Unlike many street side satays, serves are generous and the added extras mean it’s more than a match for healthy appetites.

catered for too with Bistro C’s, buy one bottle, get one free offer on Sacred Hills selections. The traditional weekend roast is on as usual at Bistro C but you won’t have to wait until late. Families can tuck into this succulent Sunday special from 12 noon onwards. Make an afternoon of it and kick back with a DJ on the decks from 12, then be thoroughly entertained with live music by Funky Baba band from 5pm onwards. Let your Dad know you love him and book a table today for September 4th. Treat him to a drama free day relaxing with family and friends in front of his favourite sport or simply soaking up the sun. You might even want to win a few more brownie points by scheduling him in for an afternoon massage at Body Temple Spa! Entry to Bistro C Restaurant and Sports Bar is free for everyone and Canggu Club Gold, Platinum & Silver members continue to beneﬁt from 50% off food and

I am always on the lookout for something nutritious, tasty and easy on the pocket and it’s safe to say Stickman satisﬁes all of the above. Ingredients are super fresh and sourced locally. Their dry rubs are all homemade and sauces and condiments are fresh fruit based, minus the MSG. The menu is straightforward, self explanatory and somewhat amusing with meal choices bearing monikers the likes of, ‘Babi Blankies’ (mushrooms wrapped in bacon) or ‘Bermudian Chick’, referring of course to succulent breast (of chicken!) rubbed in herbs and served with sticky fruit sauce. Now if that’s not a description to get you drooling, your tastebuds need a talking to! Mains options include pork, chicken and tuna dishes, they offer a family sized combination pack and a range of reasonable priced sides, sauces and extras. The Tzatziki is

I’m a lemon fan and love the tangy fruit in savory as well as sweet dishes. The chopped fresh rosemary combines well with the lemon for an exotic flavor that b e c o m e s mysterious when tasted in a dessert. I recently served this moist cake at a birthday party and it was a hit.

Lemon Rosemary Cake Serves 8 Ingredients For the Base: - 220g cold butter, chopped - 1/2 cup castor sugar - 2 1/4 cup white flour - a pinch of salt - 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary Ingredients For the Filling: - 4 large eggs - 1 3/4 cups castor sugar - 2 big lemons, juiced - zest of one of those lemons - 1/3 cup white flour - 1 tsp. baking powder - powdered sugar for garnish Directions For the base: Butter a 20 cm x 20 cm cake pan. Sprinkle a little flour over

the surface, tamping out the excess. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put all the ingredients for the base (butter, sugar, flour, salt and rosemary) in a food processor and turn on until the dough forms a ball. You can also mix the dry ingredients by hand and cut in the butter with a fork. Knead this until a ball forms. Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the pan. Directions For the filling: Into a mixing bowl put the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and zest. Mix with an electric mixer until well amalgamated. Pass the flour and baking powder through a sieve and then stir into the egg mixture using a wooden spoon. Pour the filling into the pan with the baked base and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes. When a toothpick inserted comes out clean, the filling is done. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store leftovers in the fridge letting the cake come to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!

Restaurant Review

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

The Jewel in the Crown! Back in the 90’s there were many Thai restaurants in Bali, amazingly none worth a return visit.

the Whole Fish, so crisp that it curls, cooked with kaffir lime, ginger, holy basil and chilli jam. A simple Pork cutlet is not that simple as it is grilled Thai style with nahm jihm jauw [the hot, sour and spicy dipping sauce from Isaan], and served with som tum [green mango]. All to be accompanied by Jasmine rice, of course.

Maybe that was because they were mostly Thai-style warungs operated by non-industry professionals. Then Will Meyrick arrived in Bali to chef at Husk 10 years ago [at the old Sofitel in Seminyak] and the game plan changed. At our first ever meeting he said….I cook Thai, Thai!

The Panang Curry of Pork may sound Malaysian but in fact it is very Thai, a thick sweet and salty curry with a peanut taste, made with coconut cream. A mild curry with chilli, Thai basil and peanut the major taste factors. From neighbouring Laos [and common in Thailand’s Isaan province] is Grilled Chicken with nahm jihm jaew & kaffir lime chilli sauce, hot and spicy!

No watering down traditional tastes so as not to upset someone who should not be eating there anyway. I appreciate that discipline and have been enjoying his food ever since. His Sarong has achieved many firsts. Apart from bringing classic and even Royal Thai cuisine to Bali, it was the very 1st restaurant to succeed on Jln. Petitenget. A few more have followed and succeeded but it is still a hard task for most. Yet Sarong is full, almost every night of the year, pre-booking is essential and normally 3-4 days ahead. Sarong opened with a mix of Asian cuisines, not just Thai. That continues but the cuisine mix has changed slightly, no doubt as a result of the opening of sister restaurant MamaSan, where most of the great prior Chinese dishes now reside. However the Thai cuisine still reigns supreme. Just about everybody who dines at Sarong, and the other Will Meyrick restaurants, begin their culinary journey with Miang, a pile of ingredients served on a betel leaf. The current menu offers Tuna [a local version with lemongrass, green tomato, sambal matah and bumbu pasih] or a more original Chicken [with coriander, lime leaf, roasted chilli and a capsicum relish], both are excellent and do what they are supposed to do; get the taste buds salivating. Pick of the other snacks are the Grilled Scallop [sweet crispy duck, Thai basil, young coconut and a peanut nahm jihm] or the Pork Belly [Szechuan chilli salt, tamarillo and tamarind sauce] ‘wokked’ to a crisp. Whenever you look at a starting salad it is almost impossible to go past a Will Meyrick special, a Salmon Salad. At Sarong it is Crisp Salmon, layered with watermelon, yam beans, lime leaf, cucumber, mint, roasted chilli and eschalot dressing. There is a different Salmon Salad at all of the restaurants in the group, all are special. Another salad of note is Poached Prawns with shredded green mango, lemongrass, lemon basil and chilli. It consists of large prawns and many of them, topped with small crunchy fish skin slices. The mains are divided into poultry, meat and fish. For a balanced meal, order something from each, but make sure they are with different ingredients, spices and flavour. The Smoked Chicken in Red Curry with pineapple, watercress, pea eggplant and Thai basil is quite mild, aromatic, with little fire in the tank. Not so the Snapper Green Curry. Very Thai is

The Indian menu has been extended since the early days and now rivals any pure Indian restaurant in taste and authenticity. In fact their Vegetarian Samosas [one of my simple taste tests for Indian restaurants] are far more original here than what is on offer at some famous local Indian restaurants where being very lazy they use wonton skin instead of Indian pastry for the wrapping. Here one serve of 3 small perfect samosas [potato, green peas, curry leaf and crushed cashew nuts] arrives with two dipping sauces, and NO separate extra charge.

with sweet cassava dumplings cooked in palm sugar, with coconut tapioca noodles and coconut ice cream. The Panacotta is lemongrass with cucumber lime jelly served with a sorbet of citrus lemon basil. As at all restaurants in the Sarong Group there is a carefully selected Gluten Free menu, so those so afflicted can eat without fear. The pure vegetarian dishes are also identified separately. Bali is a part of Asia and Sarong presents the very best of Asian cuisine. They may have 4 restaurants in Bali and another 3 in SE Asia but Sarong is definitely the jewel in the crown.

Service

: Impeccable.

The Prawn Curry [pictured] is from Matabari, in India’s northeast, large prawns in ginger, curry leaves, mustard seeds, tamarind and coconut milk. It is a fragrant curry you could almost call delicate. Crisp roti on the side, dip and enjoy, so good!

Atmosphere

: Stylish.

Overall

: All class!

There are more northern Indian specials from the tandoor. They include an incredible Squid, stuffed with paneer cheese, cashew nut, potato and cauliflower marinated in ajwani seed and yoghurt. The Snapper from the tandoor has been marinated with mint chutney and yoghurt, garam masala and green chilli. A couple of other exotic Asian temptations are on the menu, headed by a wonderful aromatic slow cooked Lamb Curry from Sri Lanka [with coriander, cumin, lemongrass and curry leaves cooked in coconut milk]. Biryani is a special ‘simmered in the wok’ dish of rice, meat and vegetables, well spiced. It originated in the days of the royal Moghul court, combining classic spiced dishes of the north with that of Persia. Sarong’s Chicken Biryani combines basmati rice with spices that include coriander and turmeric. From Malaysia a Fish Curry, with fennel, curry leaves, tamarind, okra, cauliflower and mustard seed. Bali and Indonesia are also represented. The Balinese Duck Sausage is an entrée with taste, served with a relish of smoked eggplant, fern tip lawar and lemon basil. From Madura a twice-cooked Duck, with sambal mangga. Desserts are often not worth ordering when dining in Asian restaurants, not so at Sarong! From Madura, black sticky rice

Update Wok Mie is a small, interesting, Asian restaurant on Jln. Kartika Plaza, in the strip that fronts The Bali Garden Hotel. The fare is mostly Chinese, and with few exceptions Cantonese. The many dim sum options include steamed buns [BBQ Pork, Mixed Vegetables, Egg Custard, Red Bean, Lotus Seed and a local version, Rendang]. Dumplings can be ordered steamed or deep-fried, stuffed with prawns, pork, chicken or taro. Other dim sum dishes include Tofu Skin stuffed with pork and prawn, steamed or fried, and the essential Chicken Feet for all of those who can handle them. Yes, there are also dishes from the wok! A variety of Noodles, and these are more Indonesian/Asian but with Chinese origins. Sichuan Pork combines marinated pork, bell peppers, onion, mushroom, carrot, leek with noodles, stir-fried in the wok with a lightly spiced Sichuan sauce. The Japanese Noodles are Udon, with teriyaki chicken, onions and mushroom. Balinese Noodles use prawns, with onion, mushroom, leek, carrot and bok choy [pictured]. Mie Ayam Panggsit is egg noodles in a chicken broth with chicken wantons. The most expensive menu item, at Wok Mie, is Rp.45,000++. These are street food prices, but served in a clean hygienic modern restaurant. Incredible value! Kentongan has been open for a few months on Jln. Danau Tamblingan, Sanur. It inhabits a large open space upstairs on the elbow of the large ‘S”, at Sanur’s northern end. Behind is a pool and garden setting. It has off-road parking, a rarity in Sanur and everywhere else in Bali. The place in some ways resembles an English Pub [in the tropics] with its darts, table football and pool table [an attraction for some, not for others]. The fare is mainly Indonesian, but with French touches, although there are also some pure French dishes such as Duck Confit. Specialties of the house include their Beef Rendang and Papuan Crab. Cat Café has to be Bali’s most unusual restaurant. It is found among a cluster of busy restaurants [such as Mama Mia and Taco Casa] on Jln. Pengosekan, just south of Ubud. Located upstairs you see the outside stairway and rear wall with many cat drawings, as you approach Ubud. Open from 8.00 a.m. for breakfast it is not so much the quite cheap menu from its Japanese owner that makes this place so unusual but what you discover upon climbing the stairs and entering. You naturally expect many paintings and statues of cats. What you do not expect is a playing area full of live cats, just waiting for you to pet them. Different! The Savage Kitchen is at Canggu Plaza, on Jln, Canggu Club. It is a strange restaurant name and a strange concept. Supposedly presenting just basic natural food, what we used to eat when we were ‘savages’? So some ‘raw food’ is available if that is your style. Menu divided into Protein section, along with Salads, Carbohydrates, etc. You are suggested to select one protein dish and other balancing ones. That is a bit gimmicky as ‘healthy eating’ requires different combinations for different people [I used to think that potatoes were healthy, that sent me towards Diabetes II, so they were in fact very unhealthy for me, and now I must not eat them]. Menu contains the same meats and seafood as most other places. The early morning breakfasts [open very early] are excellent, and very popular.

Bumbu Asli is found among a group of quite modern and clean restaurants and cafes at the top ridge of The Waterfall at Br. Tegenungan, Sukawati. What used to be just a special resting place for the locals is now becoming a very popular tourist attraction. Owner/chef Putu and his wife once ‘met in the kitchen’. Putu was the Grill Chef at Ubud’s Lamak restaurant [and subsequently Sous Chef at Amed’s 5 star resort, The Gryia] and his now wife worked in the kitchen of sister restaurant Warung Enak. What a perfect background for running a successful restaurant? Together they now operate this impressive new venture in a large wantilan under the trees. Unlike most of the other cafes on the ridge this one offers quality western cuisine, with a few Asian dishes, even a Wagyu Burger [and this is a remote spot in Gianyar, how things have changed in Bali!]. Not surprisingly, Bumbu Asli is already proving to be very popular with the visiting tourists and expatriates. Interesting tasty food from a hygienic kitchen, perfect!

Sep. 15 - Thu

over the years. It seems to have something for just about everyone. It shares a rare distinction of being one of the very few non-beachfront restaurants, busy lunch time, every day. Part of that reason could be their special Lunch menu. Offerings include Crisp Barramundi which you roll yourself, Vietnamese style, in dampened rice paper with peanut sauce & nuoc cham, a real Thai Tom Yum [prawns in a hot & sour soup with lemongrass, galangal, chilli jam and coriander] and the famous Hainanese Chicken Rice, so popular in Singapore but available here with either chicken or duck. Thai Khao Gang is real Thai homestyle food; minced chicken with chilli garlic long bean and holy basil served with fried egg and steamed rice with a turnip shredded chicken soup. If that is not enough, how about: Soto “Betawi” of slow cooked short rib beef & tongue with coconut milk nutmeg Asian celery & fresh lime, Clear soup with pork dumpling shrimp egg noodles & bok choy, Vietnamese “pho bo” with twice cooked beef rice noodles, Thai basil & Hanoi chilli sauce, “Laksa” with shrimp shredded chicken crispy tofu soft-boiled egg hokkien & vermicelli noodles, or Char sui pork noodles soup with pork & prawn dumplings, gailan and beansprout. I could eat here every day of the week! On Jln. Kerobokan, just to the left of Sunset Road.

Say What? C/CE/G-31 August 16

Question: I recently moved in with my boyfriend who teaches English as a second language, and we are engaged to be married. When I was cleaning my clothes out from one of his closets, I found a briefcase with a variety of items in it. I found some porn and a letter he had written to one of his teenage students. The letter states how he is sad that they are no longer talking. He clearly states his feelings for her in an unprofessional manner and describes how he is disappointed that circumstances have prevented him from seeing her. He states how he misses her and says that if he was younger, he would consider dating her. Then he tells her how he wants to find a woman with her personality. To top it off, I also found a CD with porn of girls who are barely 18. I know I violated his privacy, but I feel compelled that he may have some serious issues with inappropriate behavior. I don’t want to deal with these issues later down the road when we are married, and the CD sickens me. He works directly with young people. What should I do? Dr. ZZ: Like most who write in for advice, you have already given yourself close to 85% of the answer. If we simply look at what you have shared on the issue, it becomes clear that the writing is on the wall. For starters, you say that you feel compelled, that he may have some serious issues, issues that you don’t want to deal with later down the road when you are married. You say that the CD sickens you. Whether or not you violated his privacy, you must deal with the flat facts that are before you at the moment. The best plan would be to put any marriage arrangements on hold and bring all this into the light with your boyfriend. Let him know everything that you have shared in your email, and encourage him to get professional help.

Question: I’m a 19-year-old university student, living in Bali with my family. It’s not an ideal situation, and this morning my father hit me - not with a closed fist, but he held me by the neck while he smacked my face repeatedly with his other hand. My mother and sister had to pull him off me. He and I have managed to get into huge, screaming matches before, but he has never been physically violent. Usually, I know when to walk away, but this time everything happened too quickly. He had been nagging at my younger sister for failing to do something, and I defended her. He got defensive and told me it wasn’t my business, and it escalated from there until he grabbed me and starting hitting me. I left the house immediately afterwards and haven’t talked to him since. He texted me several times asking me to pick up the phone so he could apologize, but I was too upset to consider it. I don’t know what to do. Moving out on my own isn’t an option until I go abroad next year. My mom is talking about renting me a room for a while to get some space, and that may be a possibility. In any case, I am still dependent on my father for tuition and living expenses. Generally after an argument, I avoid him and pretend nothing ever happened. He does the same and will sometimes fake an apology (he’s sorry, but it wasn’t his fault) and I will apologize back (I agree it was my fault). This time feels different for obvious reasons. I feel guilty and angry and don’t think I can deal with another accusatory apology. Maybe if I apologize first it will offset that. What do you think?

C/CE/G-8 June 16

Dr. ZZ: Your dad sounds a classic case example straight out of a domestic violence textbook. Your whole family walks around on eggshells, hoping that he won’t be in one of his “moods,” and that no one will say anything to set him off. Now, he just escalated from verbal, emotional abuse to physical abuse. Abusers see themselves as beleaguered heroes. (“Things would be fine if you would just do everything I tell you to do and completely anticipate my moods. You know how I get when you’re like that.”) In a false sense of blamelessness that makes them feel justified in using force, they are also expert at manipulating people and provoking others into yelling at them. You can love someone who is abusive, search their behavior and your own for proof that it is not their fault, and “take responsibility” and “apologize”; but that doesn’t change what is happening. The fact that you feel as if you have to apologize in order to keep a roof over your head and stay in school is a classic part of the cycle, and it’s right on cue. You need to take steps to make yourself safe. If you and your dad apologize to each other, and you move back in, things are apt to be good for while until one of you – any one of you -- makes a tiny “mistake.” He doesn’t want to yell at you, you all just “make him do it.” Talk to your university counseling office ASAP. Your mom is smart to encourage you to rent a room for a while. She knows your dad. Believe her. In the short term, stay on your own or with friends with whom you feel safe. You don’t have to apologize to anyone who grabs your face and holds it while he slaps you. Get a trained professional on your team ASAP. Copyright © 2016 Say What?

31 August - 14 September, 2016

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 14, 2016

This is a particularly powerful fortnight starting with a New Moon Eclipse in the sign of Virgo. Mercury also in the same sign has just turned retrograde and will stay in Virgo until the beginning of October. A mental, intellectual and analytical time of reviewing the potent power of the human mind or in its negative expression, worry, anxiety and mental obsession. Jupiter moves into Libra on the 9th where it will stay for the next year and meets with Mercury early in the fortnight in the last degrees of Virgo. Their first connect was on August 23rd and the final of the three conjunctions will be in the second week of October. This is a great time to expand your thinking and to evolve through techniques such as NLP and quantum thought processing, where you get to rewire the brain and replace old programs of belief and habits of thought with new more aligned ideas. Saturn has its third and final square to Neptune on the 10th and this brings a clash between authority and our more sensitive selves. The theme started back in November and peaked again in June and here we find ourselves challenged yet again by the deceptive forces at work beneath the surface. This is the time to expose our own lies as well as those in the bigger picture and raise our vibration to one which is more spiritually aligned with a higher truth. The Eclipse season is in full swing and promises to bring this conscious elevation. NEW MOON 9 Virgo 21 September 1, 2016 5:04 p.m. (solar eclipse)

This New Moon eclipse brings new opportunity for work and a more focused approach to any health issues. You are probably feeling particularly sensitive at this time and this is further provoked by a teacher or mentor, someone you’ve regarded as an authority. Perhaps someone’s true motives are being revealed and this could lead to the changes in the workplace. Jupiter is about to bring some growth into your relationships and will bring a year of deepening connections both romantically as well as within partnerships. The retrograde Mercury is linked to the work and health issues as well and allows you a few weeks to integrate and digest all the changes. A tension could reappear around your shared finances as you ponder the topics of friendship and true community. The New Moon starts a process of creating a schedule around the theme of having fun, particularly for those who’ve felt quite bogged down with responsibilities over the past months. There could well be a group of like minded people who are waiting for someone just like you to share your skills with them. Jupiter influences your relationships now in a way that may bring more work and service opportunities your way. Take the time to go deeply into the mechanics of your mind, particularly when it comes to those topics dearest to you.

Jupiter is set to bring a personal expansion into your life over the next year and yes that could mean around the girth, hips or thighs. This month however starts with a deeper introspection and contemplation. Meditation could bring extra benefits for you now as you meticulously search through your mind for mental clutter and places where you hide the truth from yourself. It may not be an easy task and yet one you know you must undertake if you want to progress on your path. Things will become much easier by the beginning of October and so for now trust the process and believe in the better things coming. There’s a certain attraction for group activities and community based events this month and probably includes children and the beloved. Your sense of responsibility in these areas may cause you a little stress or it could be the motivation to create a harmony and balance. The important factor is communication; having said that it may be necessary to go over some topics again over the coming weeks and review your previous plans. You will become more reclusive or hidden in your romantic affairs over the next year and some of you may court a hidden love interest during this time. Your growth trajectory will centre on the more spiritual aspects.

As you mull over the situation at home or make plans to start a new project with regard to your living space, you may experience some opposition through your partnerships. It could be that the romantic partner has their own ideas on the topic. For some of you it will appear through your work or career and you may feel a little duped by those in authority. Be ever mindful of how you yourself interact with others and how your decisions affect them as well. The family setting will prove to be a bed of discordance for others and will push for some forgiveness and a deeper understanding of those you love.

Jupiter is your ruling planet and changes signs this fortnight. Suddenly your focus shifts from finances and worldly affairs, to having fun with friends. There are still some loose ends to tie up and things to review with regard to family issues and they will yet keep your movement bound over the coming weeks. The self expression which has been somewhat restricted over the past year is about to ease up, after this one last hooray. This axis of service which is creating a little havoc and a finetuned balancing act will culminate in the Full Moon next fortnight and by the beginning of October things will change for the better.

How the New Moon eclipse will affect you depends on a few things; firstly your ability to adapt to new ideas and secondly to apply these new methods of thought. There’s no need to feel pressured by this as there are a good few weeks to really assimilate and digest any new information. A very tense balancing act is going on which will bring issues of the everyday concerns to the fore in order to transmute them through practical application and simple understanding and forgiveness. You have a natural spiritual or even religious motivation at this time and can more readily find the truth in all situations. Be kind.

Although you may be Saturn ruled, even you will feel the possible stress which is involved in the current planetary configurations. This is not the time for boldness but a more practical, organized and planned approach to those important projects or undertakings. Your inspiration of course will come more from your intuition and reflecting on what’s gone before and the need for discernment and balance is strong. Your longer range plans and aspirations are more likely to include other people or partnerships, beginning this month. In fact your growth depends on it. Take the time to review the more adventurous plans and ideas as they present themselves.

The Sun is eclipsed by the Moon as the fortnight begins and you will be feeling the deeper pull of emotions particularly in relationship to any romantic interests that you may have. If your confidence is a little on the low side know that it is more linked to the way that you think about yourself and the values which you hold or have inherited, than anything real. Be extra vigilant with your thoughts and how you plan and organize things this month, knowing that your emotions could be stronger than normal. Old memories surface for release and allow the truth to finally be acknowledged. Communication is a powerful tool.

With an eclipse in the deeper part of your chart you will feel compelled to share whatever is gleaned this month. Once more your sensitivities are provoked through humanitarian issues and a strong urge to share the truth for the higher good is pushing you to action. With Jupiter’s progression into the sign of Libra there’s a movement from personal transformation to teaching and sharing your experience. This is a powerful time of service, to the self, the other and to humanity and beyond. Your values are universal and unconditionally loving if you have elevated through the higher self. You can integrate through the mind this month, your recent learning curve.

For those with birthdays at the beginning of the fortnight, this will be a very pivotal year for you and for those also around the Full Moon on the 16th. The service axis is in full swing for everyone over the next months and will bring revelations around partnership and early family life. Jupiter promises to bring a lot of good fortune financially and materially particularly through partnerships this coming year. Parents may need your attention and yet you are still focused on your own needs and healing. There is a deepening in the mental realms with Mercury retrograde and this is a great month for personal review.

This eclipse portends a time of deepening relationships through service with an aim to fulfil your vocation. While there remains a strong self reliance there is also the desire now to share more deeply and intimately with another. Personal reflection gives way to sharing your thoughts with others on a one-on-one basis and getting the feedback and achieving discernment for yourself through the external mirror. This union will accelerate your growth path over the coming year and bring a sharing of resources which will enable you to do more and have more. You have a strong urge to be of greater service although this comes more from the heart than the mind.

settlers. It’s that good a read. Today, Grant is Indigenous Affairs Editor at The Guardian, and National Indigenous Television’s Managing Editor. His words in support of Aussie footballer Adam Goodes have gone viral and convinced many hearts and minds that there is so much more we can do. Prepare to be captivated, and deeply changed, when Stan Grant takes the microphone at Ubud this fall.

Human Rights: Three Who Refuse to Be Complacent Ahead of this year’s Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (26-30 October), the Bali Advertiser is showcasing the authors, artists and advocates who make up the 2016 lineup. The UWRF’s full program, list of speakers and tickets are now available via the website www. ubudwritersfestival.com. Individuals who campaign for Human Rights must sometimes feel lonely indeed. But this year, Ubud will grant a large audience to the most compelling voices for those who cannot speak. In spite of threats to family, accusations of self-interest, and personal smears on an international stage, three guests refuse to dilute their pleas for change. Best-selling books and accolades notwithstanding, the uncertain paths of true heroes are being blazed by Su Ki Kim, Stan Grant, and Anastasia Lin. Su Ki Kim migrated from her native South Korea and become a US citizen as a teen. The severance of Korea, and so its families, has remained a painful wound. Angered by the western dismissal of North Korea as an unlucky backward people ruled by a series of wacky despots, Kim visited the north several times and ultimately found a way to tap more deeply inside. Kim landed a job teaching English at an elite North Korean university. Her With You, There is No Us is an astonishing memoir of what it’s like to work within a nation of slaves, where everyone, even the brightest new leaders and scientists, are infantilized through constant state control. Concepts and realities such as the worldwide web and basic methods of scientific investigation are at best completely misunderstood and purely unavailable to anyone, even the future leaders. All the northerners she met were so facile at lying (whether hyperbole or deceit), it was difficult to engage in simple

communication. Yet in her account of life in “a prison disguised as a school,” she writes of moments of human connections with her students, who she found tragically beautiful and adorable. Minimizing risks where she could, Kim has given readers a glimpse at who is there, suffering under a regime so oppressive that all human life is merely a source of energy for the state. Kim emphasizes her desire to humanize North Korea, so she secretly noted her conversations and let actual human voices speak to her western audience. Inside, she found it “morally unacceptable that the world is there, and the rest of us are here.” Kim feels that a Pyongyang Spring is untenable unless the world can help make it happen. And so we have her book, to get us started on the process. Australian Stan Grant was, from 2001 to 2012, a CNN anchorman, embedded combat reporter, and dedicated Beijing correspondent. But behind the scripts and reportage, he quietly bore the wounds of growing up as a marginalized child of the aboriginal nation of the Wiradjuri, original stewards of land that is now New South Wales. Hard luck and hard labor plagued his father’s life, but family bonds were strong. At university Grant was radicalized by researching the family stories he’d been told, reading everything he could about Australia’s relentless war of extermination on his people, and subsequent admonitions for its citizens to simply disregard it. As a journalist, driven to give air time to oppressed and warravaged people, Grant’s own ignored depression and emotional pain hit a crisis point. He has rechanneled this and triumphs as an eloquent voice for his brothers and sisters, authoring now-viral pleas to end racism. Stan Grant’s stirring Talking to my Country joins Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith and Beds Are Burning in the canon of great works calling for action in the name of the real first

Anastasia Lin, crowned Miss Canada in Vancouver in 2013, is anything but a typical beauty queen. Actress, pianist, and compelling public speaker, she holds degrees in International Relations and Theatre Acting. She is also one of the millions of students of Fa Lun Dafa. One of Lin’s movie roles was based on the testimony of Fa Lun Gong members who survived torture in Chinese prisons, and narrowly escaped being harvested for their vital organs. Preparing for the role by meeting them face-toface, Lin was impressed by their courage in the face of “dark, old-school Communist way[s].” Lin makes a compelling argument that money, and not virtue, has driven China policy in western nations. These form laissez-faire alliances with a super power that keeps its people in a state of mind far removed from the Beijing Spring of 1989. Lin pleads that “we should all stop pretending that we are helping China reform… the Chinese government does this because the international community allows them to. When threats and intimidation come, this is when we (can) show who are.” Today, Lin must constantly walk the tightrope of championing Human Rights for the Chinese people, while threats are made to her family members in the mainland. She stands, as she says, with the Chinese people and begs the Communist Party to take up dialog. She asserts that the government is not so much afraid of her, as they are their own people. In their own way, these three heroes understand that individuals are the building blocks of any nation, and that when all individuals are truly free, a nation and the world achieves greatness. Most remarkably, all three know that these are Human Rights issues which most people would prefer to simply ignore. Eldridge Cleaver famously coined the idea that there is no room for neutrality; for if one is not part of the solution, one is part of the problem. And this fearless concept is taken to heart by Grant, Kim, and Lin, who, in the face of all reasons to look another way, to rest on laurels, to just let it go, instead decide to forge ahead for a better future for all humankind.

UBUD NEWS ACCOLADES FOR SURGEON Enormous praise and thanks to an outstanding Balinese orthopedic surgeon, Dr Muliadi, who – faced with a patient with an appalling neck injury and no alternative solution - sat on floor of the Intensive Care Unit at Kasih Ibu Hospital for 48 hours or more, reading the manual for the equipment he would need to use, to perform a operation that he’d never done before. The drama began when my friend crashed her scooter in Bentuyung. Her broken body was scraped off the road by villagers, who picked her up and ran through the streets to her home, calling for help. When she came to, she was in a friend’s car, off first to Mas clinic - where they were told it wasn’t possible to treat her - and then to Kasih Ibu. She moved onto a Bangkok hospital some days after the surgery, because Bali was full to bursting with dengue patients, and Bangkok is known for excellent physiotherapy. The orthopods there examined the CT scan in amazement – it was a beautiful repair and they were full of praise for Dr Muliadi’s surgical skills. My friend is walking! Yes, walking. Only one arm – not the hand, not the shoulder, but the arm – is still not functioning fully, but a gal with a number of metal plates in her neck is back and active in Ubud. Here’s one person who’ll offer nothing but praise for the talents of Balinese medical practitioners. Terima kasih banyak Bapak Dr Muliadi! LOVE THE NAME – APOKADOS! Another fresh tasty Mexican restaurant has opened in Ubud, with a commitment to source all ingredients from local farmers, including chicken from Sebatu, Tegallalang, and all their fresh salad produce from Har’s Organic Garden in Junjungan. These guys even deliver, if you don’t want to brave the traffic every time. Try their “7 hour” Pulled Chicken (2 tacos) on handmade buckwheat, for 60,000rp, Spicy Tuna Tacos, (that’s 2 tacos, with Tuna, olive oil, balsamic, lettuce, tomato, garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, ginger and chopped chilli on buckwheat rosemary tortilla, also 60k, or “The Classic” for 70k, two buckwheat tortilla with steak, black beans, cheese, guacamole and salsa. Every order made fresh! Seriously gotta be contented with that! To order, call or what’s app Wayan on 081236759733. Located on Jalan Raya Ubud (ask for directions, it’s a little hard to find). OUTPOST CO-WORKING SPACE Collaboration, a quiet space, super speedy internet, a booth for confidential skype calls, individual and team offices, ergonomic chairs; standing, sitting and dedicated desks, podcasting equipment. Okay I think this place will help people grow their businesses! Hmmm, and if you need a moment of Zen, to ponder the next chapter of the novel you are writing, you can walk along the banks of a tropical river. Drop into Outpost in Nyuh Kuning, or find their website; they have entrepreneur skill-sharing and author talks, and there’s even places to stay – short or long term – at the adjacent hotel. Jl.

As many patrons have observed, Warung Schnitzel clearly takes a lot of pride in what they do – there’s even a large sign on the wall, firmly asking for any critical comments to be given then and there, so that the problem can be corrected and the service improved in the future. Some are drawn in the door by the sign for 38,000rp cocktails. Others come via referrals (personal or online). Lots love the décor, from the “Red Bar” on the ground floor to the “kasbah” look up top. Most, according to Mara, seem to come back again, both in the same Ubud trip, and when they return for another holiday. My personal favourite is the gluten-free brownie, which melts in my mouth. It’s rich and firm in texture, and served with ice cream, mint and berry on top. C/U/I-17 August 16

Mara does lots of deliveries to villas and restaurants that want to offer a gluten-free something but don’t have the expertise in-house; she also offers private catering and home deliveries around Ubud. Phone her on 0812 4643 9515. Warung Schnitzel is at Jalan Sri Wedari 2; 20 metres from Jl Raya Ubud. ABE DO FIVE STAR It’s a tiny little eatery but Abe Do Organic Warung deserves every bit of its second five star “Certificate of Excellence” award from Trip Advisor. Only those who consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews are given this prestigious award, and this gorgeous, humble team are very proud of what they’ve achieved. Nyoman Silver started his “heart-led business” four years ago with only three spoons, three forks, three knives and five glasses! His wife – a cook herself - had been very sick. They started switching to organic foods, herbs and medicine and her recovery was so rapid that they became passionate about the benefits of eating organic, and started Abe-Do to share what they’d learnt. Today they support organic farmers in the local community and focus on making great food with love.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

BALI BRITS BRUISED BY BREXIT - And there are some wider global implications too Several weeks have now passed and it is clear that the shock decision on June 23 of British voters to leave the European Union had an immediate impact but it did not prove to be the end of the world. For most people outside Europe it has been business as usual - so far. Certainly there was some immediate political fallout and the British Pound lost 10% within hours. European equity funds saw record net monthly outflows in July of EUR58 billion. But stock markets quickly recovered after an initial dip and some have even reached new highs. Illustrating again that panic is not the best reaction to bad news. What has not recovered is the British Pound and it is not likely to do so for some time. Why did the British public vote to leave the EU? It was by no means a landslide victory; the margin was just 51-49. But why would so many people want to leave the EU when they had been warned of the dire consequences? Among the obvious concerns were loss of sovereignty in decision-making and the more emotive issue of uncontrolled immigration. But some see it as part of a wider global revolt against the ‘establishment’. Automation and globalisation have resulted in efficiencies and profits for big companies; the very rich have got richer but the wealth has not trickled down. According to Wealth-X’s 2015 - 2016 Billionnaire Census, the number of billionnaires in the world increased by 6.4% over one year to 2,473 and their collective wealth rose by 5.4% to US$7.7 trillion. But for the man in the street it is a different story. There is a feeling that the ‘establishment’ is out of touch. Such a mood seems to be brewing in several European countries and beyond. Within Europe time will tell if Brexit is a ‘one-off’ or whether others will follow. In the US, Donald Trump, whose rhetoric would probably attract little or no attention in the UK beyond the bar of a local pub, has won the support of millions of Americans, most likely because he represents change, a means of ending the status quo. He could spring a surprise for similar reasons to the Brexit vote. He has already tweeted ‘They will soon be calling me Mr. Brexit’. No doubt he was alluding to this phenomenon. What has been the financial impact on Brits? The impact has been quite significant for some. The fall in the British Pound has made travel abroad more expensive so for many it will be holidays in Skegness or Blackpool rather than Majorca or Bali for a while. British companies that export mainly to Europe may have to relocate there. International banks are widely expected to reduce their presence in London and move some of their operations to the continent. In both cases thousands of jobs could be lost.

investment of £100,000 would provide you with an income of only £1,300 per annum. You could also lose some of the capital if you sold the bond before maturity. Buying an annuity will give you a higher return but insurance companies also have to rely on bonds to fund them. Consequently annuity rates are also at record lows. Frustrated at low annuity returns many of those eligible have chosen to access the cash value less tax under new pension freedoms, but without careful planning the cash can quickly run out. Seeking higher returns elsewhere will entail correspondingly higher risk. British pensioners living abroad have been further hit as they have seen an immediate fall of 10% in the value of their state pensions when converted to local currencies. For those living in Indonesia and other countries where state pensions are ‘frozen’ the devaluation of the pound is a further blow. The large group of ‘frozen’ British pensioners in Bali are feeling particularly aggrieved. As for those still holding private pension funds in the UK the facility to transfer them overseas via a tax-saving ‘QROPS’ may disappear. Once free of the EU rules that forced transferability the British government may well decide to prevent pensions and their future tax income from leaving the UK. The fall in bond yields has also impacted company pension funds in the UK, making it even harder for many to sustain defined benefits that were promised decades ago. According to The Telegraph there are 6,000 of these schemes and 5,000 are now in deficit to a total tune of almost £1 trillion. There could be more cases like the recent failed high street store BHS with its £500 million pension fund liability. Is there a ‘silver lining’? All Brits however, including pensioners, with investments in stock markets will have seen the fall in their currency followed by a compensating rise in the UK and other stock markets. Also, most investment portfolios and savings plans will have some exposure to the US Dollar so will have benefitted from the additional pounds generated by the stronger dollar. Investments in commodities like oil and gold are seeing very good returns in all currencies but especially pounds. As an example, the Guinness Global Energy GBP Fund returned 24.1% in the seven months to the end of July. The USD version of the fund returned 11.8%. So the real return in either currency would have been about the same.

Trade with other countries should not be adversely affected if new trade agreements can be negotiated. In fact, British exporters can take advantage of the opportunity to tell Indonesia and the world that their products are now available at a 10% discount.

Hard hit in the same sector are individual investors in at least half a dozen UK commercial property funds which were suspended following a panic rush of redemptions. If any of the funds are heavily leveraged we could see a repeat of the Glanmore Property Fund disaster of a few years ago when next to nothing was left for investors after the bank debts were repaid. This serves as a warning again that open-ended funds that invest in illiquid assets but have daily or even monthly dealing should be avoided.

Irrespective of Brexit, where personal investing is concerned everyone needs to be aware that the days of easy and high returns are gone, at least for the time being. It means working harder, saving more and perhaps postponing retirement for a few years. This would have been the case in any event; Brexit just reminds us we never know what is around the corner.

It has been said that there has never been a worse time to be retiring. As a result of Brexit government bonds have seen yields fall to record lows. In 1997 a ten-year ‘gilt’ yielded 8%. As of August 19 this year the yield had fallen to 0.56%. Even a 30-year gilt will pay only 1.3% per annum. So if you are relying on long-dated government bonds for retirement an

People often see cash as a ‘safe haven’ while stock markets are perceived as ‘risky’. Yet when currencies sink, cash is no longer king. The lower pound will be beneficial to British exporters and should give a boost to domestic tourism now that the UK has become a more affordable destination.

The Commercial Real Estate sector in Britain has been hard hit. According to a Moody’s Investor Service special report published on August 17 the commercial property crisis brought about by Brexit could lead to losses totalling £12 billion across the six largest banks.

Pensioners take the biggest hit

BA Feature Article

Agro-tourism A growing number of projects on the island are giving visitors the opportunity to get their hands dirty. Find out why so many are opting to get back to basics. Kul Kul Farm A stone’s throw from the Green School just outside Ubud, the Kul Kul Farm uses permaculture techniques to grow organic produce. Founded by sustainable living enthusiasts, Maria Farrugia and Orin Hardy in May 2015, the farm runs edible garden workshops as well as bamboo building and permaculture design courses. In addition, each Thursday the farm is open for a free garden workshop and lunch by donation.

getting the powers at play to change their ways, and more about changing our own behaviors,” Maria continues. “It is about taking responsibility, implementing small solutions. It is about small practical changes that can be implemented, replicated and spread far and wide.” http://kulkulfarmbali.com

Maria says that the farm has been set up to help shift the negative perception of farmers and educate people a b o u t t h e importance of growing their own food. Kul Kul’s courses and workshops are an important part of this as they give participants practical knowledge and skills to make their lives more sustainable. The philosophy behind Kul Kul’s mission is that growing even some of your own produce is an important ecological act that creates a greater appreciation of the skill, care and time that goes into growing healthy food. “It is a way of saying- ‘no, I will not support the burning of fossil fuels so that my food can be Àown to me from the other side of the world, and no I will not eat food that has contributed to destroying ecosystems and people’s health due to chemical fertilizers and pesticides’,” Maria says. In Bali, youth generally does not see any future in farming. Most farmers on the island are from the older generation, while young people opt to work in the tourism industry – an industry that has had a drastic effect on the island. “According to statistics, tourists are responsible for 65% of Bali’s total water consumption and agricultural land is being lost at the rate of 1,000 hectares per year, and this has been going on for at least two decades,” Maria says. “Balinese are being enticed to go down the industrialized, urban route, but it is evident that for most of the world, modernization and development hasn’t meant a better quality of life. It has meant debt, unhappiness and social isolation.” “The indicator we use to measure standard of living – gross domestic product (GDP) – is not concerned with actual wellbeing, quite the contrary. GDP improves when resources are mined, shipped and Àown all over the world, when resilient communities and farmers are forced into urban squalor and when a handful of wealthy and powerful corporations become wealthier and more powerful.” The Kul Kul farm is all about taking a stand and showing people – tourists, expats and Indonesians – that food is something they should be focusing on and that everyone can garden, no matter on how small a scale. “We believe the future is not going to be one of industrial agriculture run by mindless machines, but it will be a movement of mindful people caring for food that they want to eat.” Maria is optimistic about the future, and says that people all over the world are increasingly keener to protect local ecosystems and communities by building more localized economic structures. This is precisely what Kul Kul is all about. “We are using permaculture principles and strategies to transform the spaces we live in from being vulnerable and dependent, to diverse, resilient, localized, and nourished communities. The focus is on community-scale, practical and relevant solutions that involve all people.” “We want to be active participants in creating the world we want. This is what Permaculture is about. It is less about

http://www.jiwadamai.net Pod Toby Garritt, CEO and founder of Pod, used to ¿nd it ironic that Indonesia, which is one of the world’s biggest cacao producers, did not produce quality chocolate. So much so that he decided to do something about it. “The vision for Pod began in 2010 after I tasted a raw cacao pod for the ¿rst time. I was fascinated that the sweet, tart fruit could become chocolate and I set out to make my own. It was a three year process of developing chocolate production techniques while working with local farmers to develop sustainable, organic farming models that increase yield, quality and value for local communities.”

Jiwa Damai Jiwa Damai is an agro-permaculture center that offers visitors an opportunity to reconnect with nature and gain hands-on permaculture skills. Set in a tropical valley, 20 minutes outside Ubud, the retreat offers regular workshops and seminars, as well as accommodation, a fresh water pool, natural springs, several water lily ponds and, of course, an abundant permaculture garden. “Our mission is to create a self-suf¿cient retreat with an emphasis on sustainable biological gardening, water preservation, waste recycling and solar energy,” says Margret RuefÀer, the founder of Jiwa Damai. “We try to minimize our ecological footprint as much as we can.” A big part of the Jiwa Damai’s mission has been to educate people from all over the world about living in harmony with nature. “Our agro-permaculture center offers regular seminars and workshops on growing organic food, waste management, recycling and water management, among other education endeavors, for locals and visitors” Margret says. “One of the courses we run is Permaculture Design Through the Heart, which focuses on theory and practical skills, as well as fostering an attitude of appreciation of the gifts of nature.” Jiwa Damai also welcomes volunteers quali¿ed in areas such as yoga, graphic and website design, gardening, food handling and solar technology. Volunteers are expected to contribute around 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, in exchange for basic accommodation, all meals, as well as meditation and yoga classes. “We also offer internships in ¿elds such as permaculture, bio-agriculture and hospitality,” Margret says. For those staying on the property, Jiwa Damai features six minimalist guests rooms, designed using local materials, and three Balinese Lumbungs in the garden, as well as accommodation for backpackers. There are also two yoga and meditation areas, as well as regular classes. The lumbungs are ideal for those who wish to be close to nature as they are semi open. Everything grown at Jiwa Damai is organic. Margret says that instead of using fertilizers, the farm is enriched with effective microorganisms and indigenous microorganisms, as well as organic compost. The plants are watered with spring water that is fed to the property’s ponds and eventually makes its way to the garden. The fruit and veggies grown are used in Jiwa Damai’s kitchen to prepare delicious Balinese dishes for the retreat’s guests. The farm also produces cold pressed coconut oil, coconut Àower, coconut soaps, and dried fruit and vegetables. Margret says that one of her main aims when setting up Jiwa Damai was to provide a space where tourists and expats could learn about the Balinese way of life and green practices. “It is good to see that quite a few places are now eco-oriented, and we have many permaculture oriented and organic farms. The publicity for tourism could be geared more to the high quality guests interested in learning about Balinese Culture and being exposed to the beautiful tropical environment.” The educational hub is a socially conscious venture, with all pro¿ts going to the Lagu Damai Foundation, which supports various community projects including sponsoring education at high schools and universities for Balinese youth. Jiwa Damai offers guided garden tours on Wednesdays and Sundays at 10 am for a small contribution.

Pod Origin, located on the grounds of the Bali Elephant Camp, a short drive from Ubud and a stone’s throw from a cocoa plantation, opened its doors to chocoholics in January 2013. This goes against the global paradigm where chocolate making consists of shipping cacao beans from cacao growing regions along the equator thousands of kilometers to chocolate making countries, which are mostly in Europe. “Unlike coffee and other crops, most farmers have never tasted chocolate made using their own beans,” Toby says. “We are different. By producing chocolate where it is grown, we have a lower carbon footprint. We closely support farmers to help them increase yield and quality while providing a premium price for their beans. This all adds up to a more delicious and sustainable chocolate.” Better still, Pod offers chocolate tours that give visitors the chance to see how chocolate is made, from cocoa tree to the ¿nal mouth-watering product. The tour, which begins with a chocolate shot, takes chocolate a¿cionados through each step of the chocolate making process – fermenting, roasting and tempering. After sampling cocoa nibs and raw cacao at the organic plantation where the beans are grown, visitors are taken to the chocolate factory where they get to make their own chocolate elephants. While Pod’s range of chocolate is made in the European tradition, the chocolates are crafted using locally farmed organic lontar nectar instead of refined sugar. “Most dark chocolate, especially that produced in Europe, contains re¿ned sugar,” Toby says. “Anyone looking for a super healthy antioxidant hit should try our nectar dark chocolate coated cacao beans.” Besides its factory at the Bali Elephant Camp, Pod also has a shop and a café on Sunset Road and in Bali’s Domestic Airport Terminal. “At both of these locations we offer our full range of products (with free tasting) as well as delicious hot and iced chocolates, cakes and coffee. In addition to our stores, Pod is also available at Carrefour and a growing number of Pepitos,” Toby says. There is no doubt that Pod’s popularity has grown since it ¿rst opened its doors around three years ago. To deal with the growing demand, Pod is currently building a new factory. “We will be signi¿cantly increasing our production of chocolate, enabling us to bring Pod Chocolate to a global market while increasing our work with local farmers,” Toby says. “Our goal is for Pod Chocolate to become a leading global chocolate brand, and we’re well on our way to achieving this.” www.http://podbali.com

GARDEN DOCTOR by Dr. Kris

Killing Plants With Kindness Good Morning Dr Kris, Firstly, congratulations on a great column in the Bali Advertiser. Always full of great advice and best of all you don’t talk ‘over our heads’. Simple home gardeners like myself don’t know the fancy names etc - we just love playing and experimenting in our garden. I live on the island of Nusa Penida. I’m establishing a large garden at my new home site. The ground is very rocky with a lot of limestone. I’ve laid down some ‘red’ soil which was mixed with some very old compost cow dung and will now do as you suggested in your last column - rush off to a garden centre and look for a wide variety of colours and textures. I did try to transplant some small palms (about 50cm high) which I think are ‘kentia’ palms. I have no knowledge at all on the names of trees/ plants/ferns. I just select what I visually like. The palms looked great for about a week and then slowly the leaves died off and then the whole plant died. Admittedly it was during the time a few weeks ago when we had a very unusual amount of rain. I was also watering them profusely. Could I have overdone it? I’m a palm lover - especially the thin leafed palm which grows quite quickly. Can you suggest how I can introduce the kentia - or other style palm into my garden successfully. Many thanks, Ibu Neha Kentia Palms are native to Lord Howe Island - a small island of just a few kilometres in length located off the north east coast of Australia. From this tiny dot on the map they have become an ornamental favourite the world over. A subtropical species, they are often used both indoors and outdoors, a favourite in hotels, plazas, shopping malls and backyards alike. In the case of your palms it sounds as if you already know the answer to the problem. You may have possibly overdone it with the watering. When the rain is bucketing down there is de¿nitely no need to throw more water onto the garden. Don’t be disheartened though, overwatering is one of the most common gardening mistakes that can be made. Yes it is possible to kill plants with too much kindness! How can you tell if your plants have been over watered? Wilting is usually the ¿rst sign. Paradoxically, the ¿rst sign of under watering is also often the ¿rst sign of over watering or inadequate drainage, sometimes both. Whilst you would think that a wilted plant needs water this is only true if the soil has been dry for an extended period of time. If the soil

is wet and your plants are wilting it’s time to stop watering! All plant roots need oxygen. When a soil is waterlogged (totally saturated with water) all of the pore spaces that usually contain oxygen become displaced by water. By blocking the oxygen supply the plants will ultimately suffocate. Plants absorb oxygen through both the leaves and the roots. Lack of oxygen in the root zone causes their root tissues to begin to rot and decompose. As the roots deteriorate, they can’t take up water, so the plant wilts. Additionally a waterlogged soil will attract all sorts of fungal diseases and pest attacks to an already weakened plant. If that isn’t bad enough the soil will become depleted of nitrogen due to the altered chemistry brought on by the water saturation. If you notice discoloured or yellowing leaves, this is often the first sign that the soil is missing essential minerals. Overwatering can often be the cause as you literally wash the minerals out of the topsoil. New plant growth will slow be slow or stunted, pale yellow (not lush and green as you would expect). In severe cases new growth may emerge brown and dry, or dead before it has even emerged. Another telltale sign of a waterlogged soil are worms suddenly escaping to the surface as they try to save themselves from drowning down below. Another indication is a shallow root zone restricted to the top few centimetres of soil - you usually only notice this once you have pulled the dying plant out of the soil. When transplanting new plants into the garden it is a good idea to give them a good soaking especially if the weather is hot and dry. At the same time you should still allow the soil to dry out between watering otherwise you will encourage

all sorts of diseases that will cause root rot. Palms generally don’t mind to stay wet for extended periods of time having adapted to the tropical seasons of wet and dry so it is quite possible that you also have drainage problems. Palms will tolerate extended periods in a damp soil but a waterlogged soil where the soil is totally saturated is a different story. If your soil has insuf¿cient drainage you will encounter problems with most plants, unless they are speci¿cally adapted to a wet environment (aquatic plants). Certain plants, rice crops for example are able to survive being waterlogged and the resulting low oxygen supply as they have developed adaptations that transport oxygen from the aerial parts of the plant down into the roots. This does not mean that the rice can survive being totally submerged for an extended period of time though. Soil preparation is the most important part of gardening. All types of soil can support plants, but if you have a heavy soil with inadequate drainage your plants will underperform, perhaps even die. The best way to improve any soil type is to add large amounts or organic matter or compost, this applies to any soil type whether clay or sandy. Add anything available such as compost, manure, seaweed, garden clippings, vegetable scraps, dry leaves, even shredded newspaper. Spread your organic matter on top of the soil, and fork it in. From the ¿rst addition your soil will continue to improve. The bed can be planted as long as you keep adding organic matter regularly, progressively improving the soil’s drainage and structure. Quality compost changes everything and will have an amazing effect on your soil and plants. A large volume of organic matter will help to add pore space and aeration throughout the soil, improving drainage, not to mention attracting bene¿cial microbes and bacteria which will further aerate the soil. Long term consider getting a compost bin, or constructing a heap. All your kitchen scraps and garden clippings can be transformed into compost, recycling vital nutrients back into your garden. Well balanced compost will retain water, but not to the detriment of aeration. Trying to change the soil conditions is a long term process and can be achieved over time. You must incorporate organic matter into the soil as much as possible to have a balanced soil that will attract earthworms and other organisms to work, aerate and improve the structure, depositing nutrients at the same time. In this way any soil will improve over time. With all of this knowledge in your arsenal try again, I am sure you will succeed!

REDEFINING RETIREMENT

Having just turned 65, I’m taking an anthropological interest in the distinct disconnect between what we were brought up expecting retirement to be and the lives we’re living now. When I was young, people expected to be old at 70, so they became old. These days my friends in their 70s are bouncy, interested and interesting and they look pretty good, too. Technically, I am retired. That’s what my visa says, and I receive a modest old age pension. But we need a new word for whatever it is we’re doing. The old de¿nition of ‘to leave your job or stop working because of old age or ill health’ emphatically does not apply to the increasing number of mature foreigners living here. The concept of retirement is fairly new one. Until a century or so ago people didn’t live as long and pensions were rare, so most folk worked until they dropped. Germany was the ¿rst country to introduce retirement in 1889. But these days, especially in developed countries, people are living longer and healthier lives. By the time they reach of¿cial retirement age (between 65 and 68 in most countries) they - I mean, we - may have a quarter of their lives still ahead of us. Our cultures and economies dismiss us after we cross this arbitrary line in the sand. We become invisible except as a new market for cruises and adult nappies. Indonesia considers people over 60 so decrepit that they may no longer donate blood. Only slowly are the rule-makers becoming aware that ours is the generation that discovered sex, drugs, rock and roll, yoga, vegetarianism, civil disobedience and quite a lot more. Our hair may be silver now, but we are not about to sit down and quietly get old. Nope.

We need a new word for whatever it is we’re doing I canvassed expats in their 60s, 70s and 80s who live in Bali to ask what the concept of retirement meant to them. The most common responses included the words ‘freedom’, ‘choice’ and ‘peace of mind’. Several mentioned being ‘rewired’. I like that. It is indeed a recalibration from our earlier lives. I ¿rst came to Ubud in 1969 when it was a sleepy village with a few dirt tracks, no electricity and almost no tourist facilities. Who would have thought I’d end up spending what will likely be the latter half of my life here? When I moved from Singapore in 2000 Ubud wasn’t remotely a retirement destination. The limited rental housing stock and facilities for retirees at that time were in the south. Only about 2010 did the major shift begin with elders moving to Bali. Now there are signi¿cant numbers of us navigating the Byzantine, ever-shifting immigration regulations and sharing the names of the good doctors who can mend our cataracts, give us new hips and knees and maybe pop in a stent or two.

Since I anticipate falling off the perch right here, I’m curious about my lifestyle options going forward. And there’s going to be quite a lot of forward, because my DNA indicates the likelihood another three decades or so. The last issue of Bali Advertiser included an interesting feature entitled ‘Elder Care in Bali’. Ines reported some novel concepts put forward by the Bali government to optimize retirement tourism. The first was to create retirement communities within traditional Balinese villages, which presents some mind-boggling issues of cross-cultural integration and disparate standards of living. Now the focus is on establishing free standing retirement communities in several locations. In order for this concept to fly the authorities will have to make it more straightforward to obtain retirement visas and improve health care to international standards. That will be nice. I’ve written before about Sada Jiwa, an assisted living centre north of Mengwi. Two of my expat friends have placed a parent with dementia there and are delighted by the quality of care they receive. The resort-like residential property has a full time medical staff, ambulance, therapy rooms and programs for individual or group activities. There are plans to create a palliative unit for stroke and cancer patients. The charges are much more reasonable than comparative costs back home so this is another option when independent living becomes problematic, for our parents or ourselves. Living in Bali has a Zen-like quality that keeps reeling us back to the present moment. We come from our other lives with the habit of multi-tasking and long term planning. But the Balinese live very much in the present. Many don’t multi-task at all well, and become stressed when required to. Our lives here tend to lack routine, and those who try to cling to one can be sure that Bali will ¿nd ways to disrupt it. Plans have a way of shape-shifting, appearing and disappearing like incense smoke. Bali is no place for control freaks. Add to this the nature of land laws here which dictate that we can’t own property. So we live within our current lease however long that may be, and don’t plan ahead for future generations. Then there’s the factor of paying the whole lease in advance, a signi¿cant commitment of cash and faith. It all keeps us just a little bit off balance and less attached to predictable outcomes. It certainly keeps boredom at bay.

Besides having the time to paint, write, dance, explore, perform community service and join choirs, book clubs and quiz and cycling groups we now have time to watch the garden grow. We ponder the imponderable. And people in our expat communities begin inevitably to decline. They fall down and break things, they develop dementia, they die. We have to learn to cope with these misadventures, within the context of a different culture with different rules. If a foreigner dies here unexpectedly, the grieving survivors may ¿nd themselves being grilled for hours at the local police station. So when the end grows near for a friend or spouse here, be sure your banjar and a local doctor are aware of their condition. Also put this number in your phone: 081 1393 196. Pak Agus at Antar Bangsa Funeral Service is a wonderful man. He knows just what to do in terms of paperwork and practicalities, without drama and at reasonable cost. He can also repatriate remains or ashes. In fact, it’s helpful to alert him ahead of time if someone is soon to die. Although medical care continues to improve and there are some excellent doctors, there are also some very scary ones. Tales abound of inappropriate treatment, mind boggling misdiagnoses and incorrect medication. We have to do our own research, inform ourselves and take responsibility for our care. And medical insurance is not optional. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford to live here. There’s very little understanding of dementia in Bali outside Sada Jiwa. Susan Tereba trained several Balinese men to care for her husband over the years he had Alzheimers; contact me if you’re looking for carers. But apart from the grim stuff, life in Bali is a blessing for the rewired. We’re not only free of having to work for a living, but we’re also free of our society’s expectations of people our age. So many of us are clinically eccentric that it’s become the new normal. I’m incubating a book about living in Bali at this time of life. It’s not a book about how to obtain the right kind of visa and medical insurance. It will be a random collection of thoughts and experiences over the 16 years I’ve been growing older here. Watch for ‘Retired, Rewired - Living Without Adult Supervision in Bali’ in Ganesha Bookshop by the end of the year.

Wasn’t that risky?

Siapa... ? by Bill Dalton

Bruce Briscoe: President of Rotary Club Ubud

Perhaps, but my wonderful wife Catharine took great care of me. After my treatment in California, I was so weak I couldn’t hold a phone to my ear for more than a minute! She bathed and dressed me. I slowly got my strength and energy back. I now watch my diet - less beef and more ¿sh; take locally made jamu made with turmeric. She makes me a fresh green drink every morning, which is like having an incredible salad every day. I lead a much less stressful life in Bali. The best news is that when I returned to California after 4 years in Bali for a vacation with Catharine and had tests done at the same VA hospital, I was cancer FREE! I remember the oncologist saying, “I don’t understand what happened, but keep on doing whatever you’re doing.” How did you meet you wife?

B r u c e Briscoe was born in Texas and attended schools in St. Louis, Dallas, and Pasadena b e f o r e enrolling in Ohio State U n i v e r s i t y. Graduating in 1972 with a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Math from University of Nebraska, he worked from 1973 to 2001 in the IT industry in San Francisco. In the Bay Area he was also was an instructor at a community college for 12 years teaching computers and business classes. Bruce was for many years the Sergeant-At-Arms at the Ubud Rotary Club which put him on the Board. Last year he moved up to Vice President and in July of this year became President. When was your ¿rst visit to Bali? I had vacationed in Bali for one month in both 1995 and 1997 and loved the culture and the people. Traveling around the island on a rented motorbike, diving, photographing, meeting new people, enjoying the beauty, I was uplifted by Bali’s creative energy and just felt so ‘at home’ here. Why did you decide to move to Bali? I started my own computer consulting company in 1997 specializing in small businesses. After the Dot Com meltdown in 1999, I sold my business, rented out my home in the hills overlooking San Francisco and moved to Bali in 2001. After living here for awhile, I found that I really missed teaching, so I earned a TESOL certi¿cate in Bali and then taught English here, then Shanghai, China, and ¿nally in Jakarta. What do you like most about Bali? Basically it’s the people. I still get a chill when I stop to watch a ceremonial procession go by. The beautiful clothes; the smiles on their faces; the closeness of their families and the sweetness of life here. I am also into SCUBA diving and photography. For both of these interests, Bali is an ideal location. Has your life in Bali always been smooth sailing? Not exactly. About 6 years ago I had a persistent cough and ¿nally got a lung X-ray that showed a large dark mass in one lung. I was then referred to an oncologist who after further tests told me I had lung cancer. I went through the usual ¿ve stages of denial - which took only about 10 minutes – before I decided what I had to do. I contacted my sister in California. She’s a nurse and she told me to contact the Veterans Administration. I had been in the US Air Force, so I quali¿ed for medical treatment at a VA facility. Within a week I was checked into the VA hospital in Long Beach, California. After 7 months of chemo and radiation, tests showed that I still had stage 3 cancer but that my tumor was reduced by half. They recommended I continue therapy for another 6 months. I rejected that option and decided to return to Bali instead.

I feel so lucky to have met Catherine. As an older guy and from the US, I have been married more than once. However, I can say without reservation that Catharine is the most beautiful, wonderful, smart, sweet, patient, supportive, non-judgmental and thoughtful person I have ever KNOWN! I love hearing her sing in the mornings and just love being with her. She is also a natural healer. She is originally from Papua, but moved to Bali 12 years ago to follow her career in the spa and salon industry. She is currently working full time as the manager of the Taksu’s Spa in Ubud and going to the local University three nights a week where she is just ¿nishing her Associate Arts degree in Management. I have never known anyone like her. As I tell her often “you are my sun in the morning and my light at night.”

What is the Rotary Club all about? In 1905, a Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club, one of the very ¿rst service organizations in the world. Currently there are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in the world with over 1.2 million members. In Bali alone there are 10 clubs. It’s a secular organization open to all people regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender or political persuasion. In Bali we have Indonesian-speaking clubs and several Englishspeaking clubs like the one in Ubud. What kinds of work is your club involved in?

C/Ns/G-6 July 16

Balinese children are in dire need of help, so our Ubud Rotary Club focuses on Balinese schools. Some schools in Bali actually have NO water – not even for toilets, much less for washing hands and drinking. We try and ¿nd these schools and offer to help them with water issues as well as ameliorating other conditions that make learning dif¿cult. We collect funds from other clubs and distribute books, writing materials to schools. We also work on health, hygiene and have successfully completed 16 water projects up in the hills on the north side of Bali where there is very little rain and where villagers must often walk 2-4 hours a day to bring water back to their families. Does Ubud Rotary sponsor events? I have been in charge of the Rotary Clubs Christmas Fundraising Buffet Dinner for the last several years. Our 3rd Annual dinner is coming up this December 4th at the Maya Resort and Spa. Our club can sure use any help we can get to enable us to give back to the community. Now that you’re retired, how do you ¿ll your time? Being a part of the local Rotary Club that helps the Balinese gives me a great deal of satisfaction. Now that I am President, it keeps me VERY busy. I also love to cook, write restaurant reviews of places I have visited (I have over 100 in Trip Advisor), ride my motorbike and do photography. With Facebook, I like to keep up with friends and family. Many friends from the States visit us in Bali and I enjoy planning their itineraries.

By Vaughan Hatch

Sabarrrrr ya! Perhaps the very first thing you have to learn if you visit Indonesia is patience. The culture of patience and waiting is deeply engrained in the Indonesian psyche. This is because in every aspect of life one’s patience is trained and tested. Bali, as with all of Indonesia, was once an agrarian focussed society. A characteristic you need to have to be a successful farmer is patience: you toil, you plant, you wait, you harvest – and this process takes many months before you can enjoy the yield from your crops. Bali is also an extremely religious and ritualistic society: preparing for a large ceremony takes months of planning, weeks of preparation and incredible coordination between people who all have different personalities, abilities, knowledge and levels of discipline. Working together as a community on anything can be time saving but it can also test one’s patience. Bali is overpopulated. This means that in any situation: going to a bank, waiting in a government office, queuing at a fast food restaurant, using the roads, shopping at a mall is going to be slower than in countries with less people. Bali still suffers from corruption ‘malaise’ at all levels of society: this has meant huge inefficiency and incompetence in governance, which in turn resulted in a lack of proper planning and infrastructure. We see this peaking today: extreme traffic problems, electricity and water shortages, as well no proper waste management system. I have to say that if I want to test my patience in an instant, all I need to do is get behind the wheel of a car in Bali. The culture of patience-testing has meant that the use of the word sabar (patient) is extremely common. In fact, I’m sure that I hear it used in conversation every day. You can also use this useful word, in a number of ways: “Sabarrrr ya…” (don’t forget to roll you tongue furiously with this one), “Sabar dulu.” (literally, ‘patient first’ which is more like “Hold on tic.” for us) or the more direct and slightly aggressive “Sabar dong!” (Be patient, will you!). Whether you use the word or not, you can now appreciate why you’ve been hearing it on the tongues of locals so much.

Luxurious design with affordable flair C/Ho/G-13 April 16

Bloo Lagoon: Green Hilltop Bastion The ride through the heartland of Bali was long and hot but soon forgotten when we Àung upon the door to a spacious balconied suite overlooking the enormous bay of Labuan Amuk. It was early evening and since my last visit to Padangbai in 2010, the lights of villas had crept ever higher up the hillsides on all sides of the small scruffy port. Earlier that afternoon we found out at the entrance of the Mengwi bus terminal that there were no buses to Padangbai. Empty at mid-morning on a Friday, this big terminal was to become the main land-based hub on the island, replacing Ubung in Denpasar. But it has not come to pass. So we drove the 30 minutes further to trusty old Ubung where a bus catapulted us across the island. Stopping in Padangbai en route to Amlapura, we hopped off and zigzagged our way through the port’s dusty streets and then up the green hill north of the harbor. Bali’s eastern ferry terminal is no longer just a place of embarkation but has become a layover transit point for travelers coming and going from Indonesia’s southeastern islands. An ant line of passengers crawled back and forth along the long pier that juts out into the bay. Just as the motorcycle has killed the Mengwi Bus Terminal, the dozen fast boat companies working Padangbai have put Lombok’s new airport nearly out of business. Throngs jammed the narrow entrance from the pier to the parking lot as they were funneled into waiting minibuses heading out to all points in Bali. At one time only small warung faced the beach, but since they blocked the view from the waterfront hotels the food stalls were moved. Now with the rise of sea level caused by climate change, the sandy beach has receded and the street that runs along the waterfront Àoods during rainy season storm surges. The busy port has allowed pell-mell, unregulated construction obviously absent of any master plan. Businesses without building permits have ¿lled every open space and sprouted helter-skelter down alleys and along the charmingly unkempt waterfront. Above the Fray W h e n a u t h o r, traveler, inventor and v i s i o n a r y To n y Gwilliam and his wife Marita first heard about land for lease on a remote site in East Bali, they wasted no time in getting out to see it. They were led on paths through brush and forests that occupied an airy height on a peninsula overlooking the huge bay to the north and not visible from Padangbai. It took them two years to get to know the site and then design it, mixing old and new technology modeled on environmental sustainability. From our terrace we could see freighters, yachts and ¿shing boats lying at anchor. An oil depot, owned by the state-run Pertamina oil company, occupies the western shore. In fact, the locals call the bay simply “Terminal Pertamina.” We found our host Tony sitting in the scenic crescent shaped restaurant with stupendous views of Mount Agung and – when the weather is right – Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok to the east. Everything about this septuagenarian Englishman– the ruddy face, the white mane of hair, the smiling eyes – is warm in tone. Joining us at table was the German painter Wolfgang Widmoser with whom Tony was exchanging barbs. You know you’re a good friend of Tony’s when you are the recipient of his relentless benign banter that leaves not a trace of ill will. We excused ourselves and climbed the stairs up to a small Àat grassy area that was almost completely taken up by an amoebashaped pool. Young and old were frolicking in the sunbaked bathtub-warm water. A father and daughter hit a ball back and

forth over a net while smaller kids waded on a sloping pebbled beach. The water slide is not for sissies, shooting whooping human projectiles into the pool with a big loud splash. The Bloo Lagoon is a vivid example of responsible low impact tourism for the whole East Bali region. The hotel has undertaken a number of eco-friendly practices that go almost unnoticed by guests. Not only do they do all the basics, but they take it a step further. Using earthquake proof designs, buildings were constructed with local materials by local craftsmen. Paths have been left unpaved to allow rain to soak back into the aquifer. Not all areas in the rooms are Àooded with lights; spotlights are focused only where light is needed. Since solar heaters on roofs would be too heavy, on-demand gas water heaters have been installed in the rooms. Water dispensers are also provided so that guests are able to re¿ll their personal water bottles free of charge. Each house has separate bins for recyclables. Organic waste is recycled into the gardens that occupy just one acre of land, yet supply a portion of the food on the restaurant’s menu. Using permaculture-growing techniques, the gardeners call their operation a farmaculture minifarm. The soil is rocky, so it needs to be further nourished with compost. Only plantbased herbicides and pesticides are used. The kitchen staff shops daily at pre-dawn local markets using locally made bamboo baskets to eliminate plastic waste. Pots and dishes are dried by natural airÀow on open outdoor drying racks. Lemon grass straws are used instead of plastic straws. Sodas are not served, as the management does not want to contribute to obesity and diabetes. Except for the brown bread they get from the German bakery in Candidasa, the hotel bakes its own bread. The Bloo Lagoon has created economic opportunities for its staff who lead cultural tours, treks to Mount Batur, conduct cooking and craft making classes and accompany guests to religious and family celebrations. All of these measures have been implemented seamlessly and modestly without signs telling you what to do or giving credit to themselves for what they’ve done. The whole environment is like one living organism, about as close to nature as you can get. Commanding a unique location, the views from the hotel’s various elevations look out on three sides – south over trees to distant Padangbai, west to a forested hill dotted with bungalows and to the east to a beach below. To take in even more detail, a telescope has been mounted on the restaurant’s north side. Mindful of the wonderful vistas and in order to protect the Àora and prevent erosion, all the trees were allowed to remain from the original site. Besides the ¿ve resident chickens, a band of monkeys feed on papayas from the trees below and ripe passion fruits in bushes that ring the restaurant. Flocks of birds are attracted to the berries and insects in the surrounding forest. Frogs and ducks somehow ¿nd their way up the hill to the wastewater cleaning ponds that were expressly constructed to attract wildlife. Of the 26 total residences, all are rented out to tourists when the owners are not present. The Bloo Lagoon receives guests from all over the world, but the presence of Vegemite and Marmite alongside the homemade jams on the breakfast buffet indicates the steady patronage of Australians and English. Tony told me that people often choose the faraway hotel on this eastern tip of Bali as a retreat from the more hectic western parts of the island. Nights we fell asleep to the chirping

insects and the far off clatter of dishes in the restaurant while mornings we woke to chanting and low key prompts emanating from the free yoga class held in the big open-air studio over the lobby. The next morning, I signed Dian up for a traditional kite-making lesson with a man who declined to be called a teacher, just someone “who has made kites all his life.” That morning Pak Nengeh had bought especially light kite paper (kertas layanglayang) at the village market and Provinal glue, the only synthetic component. He patiently and meticulously showed Dian how to wrap the paper around the bamboo slivers, tied the string carefully into notches and ¿nally handcrafted colorful “eyes” and a tail. Pak Nengeh advised against using trash bags for the kite sections. “Plastik tidak rama lingkunan,” (Plastic is not environmentally friendly), he said. Later that evening, we walked the switchbacked road down to the village to the Surf & Turf a little beyond the main parking lot opposite an elementary school. Owned by the mother of Tolo, one of the waiters at the Bloo Lagoon, its ¿ve tables were crowded with travelers. Ibu Mamita makes Padangbai’s very best ikan pepes, ¿sh wrapped in banana leaf and spiced with fragrant serai, kunyir, lombok, kemiri, bawang and salam, then roasted over hot coals. Tolo told us to buy them at the restaurant early because the day’s batch is sold out by 10 am. “They must be eaten while still hot or they’ll lose their full Àavor,” he added. Pengkasa Potong Gigi The next morning Tony, Dian and I piled into the hotel’s opensided angkota with two benches down each side for a ride down to Padangbai to attend a tooth ¿ling ceremony that was to take place in the family compound of one of the staff. After greeting the teenage participants, we sat on plastic chairs lining two sides of a reception room and were given snacks, peanuts and the usual sweet botol teh manis. After the buffet lunch, Tony regaled a gathering of men under a big banyan tree. We walked a short way to the large elaborate Bale Banjar Tengah Padangbai pavilion, the middle village council of the town’s three banjar. Tony is well received everywhere he goes, greeted with respect and friendly repartee. On our last morning before checking out, we splashed about in the pool one more time and took our leave during afternoon siesta. The hotel driver took us down to the port, but with no buses in sight, he gave us a lift 1.5 km further to the intersection on the main Amlapura-Klungkung road. While the traf¿c was backed up at the red light, we climbed down and ran to catch a bus for the Batubulan Terminal, Dian’s new kite Àuttering behind him. Practicalities The Blue Lagoon, tel. (62) 363-41211, website: www. BlooLagoon.com. Transfers from airport Rp450,000. Free on demand shuttle service available from hotel to Padangbai. The rice ¿eld tour and the day trip to the Bali Aga village of Tengenan are highly recommended. It’s very common, even at the seaside, for Bali’s restaurants to serve frozen ¿sh. But as soon as Padangbai’s ¿shermen bring in their catch, they sell it to Padangbai’s small warung along the waterfront. The less expensive traveler’s restaurants and warung found in the back lanes away from the pricier waterfront tourist restaurants tend to be better value.

“Taxidermy for Beginners” “Oh bum, the tax man cometh and I’m stuffed” “Fear not, help is at hand.” Major moves are afoot (or ahand?) in the Indonesian tax department that may or may not have an impact on many people, both locals and foreigners, who live or own property or have other assets in Indonesia. These moves provide a rare opportunity to clear out the closet, skeletons and all, and come clean, a chance to pay a nominal sum, draw a line under all previous history and start again with a clean slate. I am, of course, referring to the Indonesian Government’s tax amnesty. The people’s darling, Sri Mulyani, a highly respected economist with high integrity, has returned from her role as Managing Director of the World Bank and has been appointed Jokowi’s new Finance Minister. Several years ago Sri came up with the idea of a “tax amnesty” to get everyone honest again and bring them into the real world of paying their fair share of taxes. Her scheme is now up and running. Whilest it is available for everyone the main aim is to repatriate the huge sums of money salted away in overseas (mostly Singapore) bank accounts and investments. Already, after only a short time, large sums of money are returning to Indonesia and, as at August 24th, Rp 53.7 trillion in assets have been declared and Rp1.07 trillion repatriated to Indonesia. I must stress at this stage that I am not a tax expert or even a taxidermist although I do have a very good accountant and an excellent tax consultant to help me get through the tax jungle. I provide this information as accurately as I can determine at this stage because a deadline approaching and it is important that people, particularly property owners are made aware of it. As many people will know the advice we get from “experts”can vary according to who you talk to and what their agenda happens to be so I advise that you seek out second or third opinions if the answers you get are inconsistent. So what is this tax amnesty all about? The Indonesian government is aware that there are many people and companies who have not been paying taxes on their income. To bring people and companies into the system and give them a fresh start the government is offering a tax amnesty to give them the opportunity to clear up their existing tax issues at a nominal cost and start again with a clean slate. If you are resident in Indonesia for more than 183 days you are classed as resident and you should have a tax ID number (an NPWP or Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak), you need to fill in a tax return each year and pay income tax on any income you receive more than a min. amount of Rp. 54 million a year. Note that overseas pensions, superannuation, and other overseas income that is based on income that has already been taxed are, as far as we understand, tax free but you need to be careful and get advice on this. The tax amnesty applies to everyone living or having investments in Indonesia. It also applies to companies. When you fill in your tax return you state your income and you are supposed to notify the tax department of all assets you own as part of the income tax declaration process. The thinking is logical, to acquire assets you must have had some income so the question follows “have you paid tax on that income?”

concern. We understand that the tax department are forbidden from sharing any information from the amnesty with any other government departments (such as the KPK, land registration department, manpower, immigration. etc). There are serious penalties (up to 5 years in jail) for any tax office employee that does share information. Property ownership and the tax amnesty Probably the biggest issue for most people is property ownership. If you have undeclared land or property then you will need to declare it and make a one off 2% payment on it. If it is in your wife’s name (as long as you have a prenuptial agreement) then she should declare it. If you are a foreigner and you do not have a prenuptial agreement your wife cannot own land anyway. If the person declaring the asset does not already have a tax number they will need to register one to make the declaration. If you have a nominee ownership arrangement you may need to be careful. If the land is family land that the nominee’s family has owned for many years there may or may not be a problem however if the land was bought by you in your nominee’s name and your nominee does not declare it he/ she may be vulnerable to being found out and getting a very heavy penalty at a later date which may or may not impact you indirectly. It would be best to clear the matter up now while you still can. It may be that you can pay the 2% for your nominee however he will need to have a tax number. You should get some professional advice on this. If you are leasing land or property this is probably classed as an asset and the value of the outstanding lease at 31st December 2015 should be declared. Penalties will be heavy for non declaration. If assets, such as your property, are not declared now but are discovered later then the asset will be regarded as income and a heavy tax may be charged (if the “income” is more than Rp500 million a hefty tax rate of 30% applies). Not only this but, as a penalty, an additional 200% of the tax will also have to be paid. It can be seen that the amnesty tax rate of 2% is a low cost to pay to avoid what could be very expensive problems in the future. C/Bm/I-03 Feb 16

Income tax rates at present are: On annual income less than Rp54 million no tax is payable. On anything more than the Rp 54 million threshold the following applies: The first 50 million above the threshold - 5% 50 to 250 million - 15% 250 to 5000 million - 25% Above 500 million - 30% The amnesty will continue until the end of March 2017. Tax is paid at different rates increasing as time goes on: if declared before the end of September the rate is 2%, if declared in the period October to December 2016 the rate is 3%, and if declared in the period January to March 2017 the rate is 5%. This opportunity should not be taken lightly, as already stated if people don’t take the opportunity now they will be penalised heavily later on if they get found out. Will they get found out? Very possibly - the tax department is starting to get serious about collecting taxes and, starting in 2018, they will have access to all bank records. In addition international moves to stop money laundering are closing tax havens and making banks across the world share customer account information.

Obviously going back through many years of work history and whether tax was or was not paid is a bit of a nightmare so the government has come up with this plan to get around this problem.

I must stress again that I am not a tax expert and to get more dependable information you need to go to a GOOD accountant who understands this stuff. Unfortunately tax agents are rather like visa agents and finding one you can trust can be rather like trying to find a needle in a porcupine’s underpants.

For most people their assets reflect income that they have made in the past. For purposes of the amnesty people can declare any undeclared assets that they had at 31st December 2015 (the end of the last tax year) and pay a very reasonable tax rate (2% if paid before the end of September 2016) on them before the end of the amnesty period in March 2017 and in return the tax office will clear any tax liability before that date and they will not ask where the asset or money came from. It is a quick easy way of drawing a line in the sand on the past and providing a new start.

The tax amnesty may be very useful to clear up your outstanding tax issues but it may also give you another benefit - the opportunity to free yourself from a poor accountant or a dodgy agent who has got you into a mess. I am aware of a couple that always tried to do everything correctly but ended up losing their business and moving overseas because of the dodgy practices of a tax consultant who gave them some very bad advice. This amnesty could have saved them.

Assets that have already been declared (and continue to be declared) on a person’s tax return are not included for amnesty purposes and do not attract the amnesty tax. Assets may include financial assets such as money in the bank, investments, land and property that is owned or leased, cars, etc. The amount to be declared is their value at 31st December 2015. For some people the sharing of information may be a major

This may happen if you have some oil on your natural lashes at the time of application. That’s why it’s important to thoroughly clean the eyes of any makeup prior to application. Taking care of your gorgeous lashes will extend their longevity by not using any oily cleansers on the eyes or rubbing the eyes and brushing them daily to keep them straight. Excessive swimming will reduce the length of wear of your lashes. When removing eye makeup at night, gently wipe around the eyes avoiding touching the lashes. Using care, I’ve found that the lashes can last up to two months before needing replacement. Usually coming for a refill after one month will keep your eyes looking beautiful longer. The lashes are both comfortable and natural feeling. Throw away your mascara, you won’t need it anymore. Japanese ladies are obsessed with gel nail art with dozens of magazines dedicated to a million different styles, using different colours, sparkles and stones to give them the fanciest nails in town. Some of the styles are truly works of art on your fingertips or toes. All of the products are imported from Japan of the highest standards, assuring long lasting shiny beautiful

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

C/He/G-17 Feb 16

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

BREAST BOMBS! Are your implants killing you?? Beast augmentation is now more common than ever before. It’s thought that the total number of implants carried out each year worldwide is anywhere between 5 to 10 million. Before the operations women are often told by their surgeons that it is a safe procedure with “very little” risk. Yet most of these women don’t know that this is simply not the case. There is in fact a growing body of evidence, in conjunction with thousands of horror stories from women all over the world who have had implants which have ended up in disaster, to prove that they are not safe and are actually causing debilitating autoimmune disorders and other physical problems in many women. The truth is no implant on the market today can last a lifetime. Every type is prone to leaking and rupturing, and in cases of the saline valve implants, they can even become black with mold, causing a systemic fungal problem in a person’s body. What women don’t know is that whilst they may be happier with how their breasts look, they may end up with autoimmune disorders that are so bad they end up in wheelchairs, or develop arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and a whole host of other problems. In the eyes of some plastic surgeons (typically the ones that are cleaning up the damage from implant operations), breast implants are a ticking time bomb that put all women are at risk. We’ve known from fairly recent history that breast implants have caused serious health problems, but for most of the public, that problem is assumed to be an historic one, and that because those implants were removed from the market, the current implants on the market must be very safe. When women are told that their implants contain silicone or saline, they often don’t tend to ask if anything else is being used alongside it. The surgeons, who more than likely don’t even know themselves, certainly don’t tell them this. What’s In Implants Today? The problem we have currently is that we just don’t know. It’s very difficult to find out exactly what is in current implants in use today. I have looked at implant websites, and none disclose what is in their products. It seems impossible to find out. The fact that ingredient information is not at all easy to find, it tells me that the manufactures might not want us to know. Some scientists have been taking an in-depth look at the platinum, as well as a whole other list of toxic elements, found in silicone implants and its connection to ill health. Its important to know that saline implants ALL have silicone outer shells, so these too can leak silicone and other ingredients into the body, either through rupturing or when the textured surface flakes off. Is There A Safe Implant? If you absolutely must get implants, then according to breast implant experts, the safest type is the saline implant that has a smooth surface and does not have a valve. This is because the textured implants have been found to have particles flake off into the person’s body, which can then attack the immune system. And if there is a valve, as mentioned previously, a systemic fungal infection can ensue. But even with this type, problems can happen down the track. I personally believe there is no such thing as a safe implant.

Silicone Implants - Many women opt out of having silicone implants due to the Dow Corning Lawsuit. But a growing number of women are now choosing to have them again due to the implant’s ability to look more natural than other types. These implants have an elastic type envelope which is pre-filled with a sticky, clear, jelly-like form of silicone. There are a few varieties of shapes to choose from, with smooth or textured surfaces. With the FDA allowing silicone implants to come back on the market, it is very concerning to know that statistics show that almost half of all women who have this type of implant will experience a rupture within 6-10 years, and one in five women were found to have silicone migrate to other parts of their bodies. Saline Implants - Silicone outer shell, saline liquid inserted during surgery by surgeon Saline Implants. Saline implants are commonly thought to be safer, yet they too have their own very concerning problems. Saline implants have a silicone shell filled with a saline water, which is salt based and ‘sterile.’ Some types are inserted empty which the surgeon will inflate during surgery with this saline liquid. There is another type of saline implant, which also has a silicone shell, but the inside contains a gel like texture. There are smooth surface saline implants and textured surface saline implants. Side Effects From Breast Implants This is what your surgeon won’t tell you may happen. • tenderness, lumpiness, or discomfort around the implants • change in the shape or consistancy of your breast(s) • change in the consistency of your breast, such as increased softness • change in the way your breast moves & feels • muscle pain, pain and swelling of the joints & soft tissues • swollen glands or lymph nodes • unusual, extreme, or unexplained fatigue • swelling of the hands and feet • unusual hair loss & rashes • autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple chemical sensitivity disorder, cancer, and biotoxicity problems. Breast Implants Can Cause Cancer It might not surprise some of you reading this to learn that there is a link between cancer and implants. Just recently in France, their National Cancer Institute released a study that found a “clearly established link” between Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and breast implants. French officials have now recommended that breast implants in their country must carry a “cancer warning.” Systemic Problems Caused By Mold Another little-known but very serious problem associated with breast implants is that they can grow mold and bacteria, which can wreak utter havoc on the immune system. This is why some doctors feel saline implants could be just as dangerous as silicone implants. If you have the saline implants that have a valve - designed to allow the solution to be inserted during surgery - and if that implant is damaged later on due to a car accident, hard bump, or mammogram, serious bacterial and fungal problems, known as “biotoxicity,” can ensue. Suicide Risk - Another little known factor about breast implants is that there is a connection between suicide. While this connection might be more about the woman’s mental status prior to having the surgery (perhaps she suffered from low self esteem and thought implants would make her much happier), it could also be because of the stressful impact the implants have on the body and its many important systems.

As we have seen above, implants are linked to neurological disorders, amongst other concerns. Checking Up On Your Implants - If you have implants, you need to be aware that having mammograms can actually do serious damage to them. Because the procedure involves intense squashing down of the breast tissue, this has been known to cause ruptures, and if the implants do begin to leak, what is inside them will likely leak into your body. A good way to check up on your implants is to use ultrasound testing. If you already have implants, I’d be willing to wager that, like myself, you were never told to have them checked for leakage or problems every few years. But this is what we should have been told. Baby-breast-feeding - According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), women with any kind of breast surgery, including breast implant surgery, are at least three times as likely to have an inadequate milk supply for breastfeeding. Concerns about the safety of breast milk have also been raised, but there has not been enough research to resolve this issue. A study of a small number of women with silicone gel breast implants found that the offspring born and breastfed after the mother had breast implants had higher levels of a toxic form of platinum in their blood than offspring born before the same women had breast implants. The Urgency To Change Society’s Obsession With Appearance As a society, it is urgent that we stop making women (and young girls especially) feel they are less than perfect if they don’t measure up to the airbrushed models and celebrities we see in magazines. Living in our superficial world today is much more challenging for young people, who are growing up seeing so much emphasis placed on looks; it’s no wonder that they have such low self esteem and often think, “If only I was prettier, richer, famous, had bigger boobs, then I would be much happier.” We’ve got to somehow stop our children and teens from becoming narcissistic and obsessed with beauty. We need people to see what breasts are really for, and that is for feeding children. They have become so sexualized that we have collectively forgotten their purpose. Why do we want to mess with our breasts (and our bodies in general), cause unnecessary stress on our health, and risk developing cancer and debilitating autoimmune disorders, just so we can look better?

The Hygiene Hypothesis

Clean is good - but Squeaky is a Problem Your body’s immune system is built to fight off bacteria, germs, viruses, parasites, and disease. For millennia it has been doing just that, getting naturally exposed to germs in the environment and getting a workout by fighting them off.

quality probiotic supplements can provide clinical activities supporting systemic health and wellness through immunesystem protection and enhanced nutrient absorption. Beyond that Harvard Medical School confirms that probiotic administration prevents and reduces the trend toward increased immune-mediated diseases, which are not only hard to diagnose but are life-threatening and hard to treat. Probiotics are living organisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, can and do confer substantial health benefits on the host.

In modern times, however, our exposure to germs is not what it was. Children receive vaccinations early on, which means our immune systems do not have to fight off illnesses like polio and measles. That’s the good news. The bad news is that antibiotics fight bacterial infections for us, so that from childhood onward our immune system is off the hook and does not develop the ruthless efficiency The essential fact that 70% of your immune system is lowe once enjoyed. cated in your digestive tract, means that if your gut is overrun with bad bacteria there’s a very Our homes too are often doused good chance your immune system with antibacterial cleansers and will not be functioning well and we wash our hands with antibacthere could well consequences. terial soaps.

"Results driven treatments mean you can see the difference and come com back from your holiday looking totally refreshed and natural." - Simone Rogers

A TALE OF TWO FLUTEMAKERS Ng Teck Seng and Erik Sampson live on opposite sides of the globe, and in many ways, their lives could not be more dissimilar. But their passions and livelihoods are one and the same: They both make flutes out of bamboo. Ng Teck Seng is of Chinese descent and lives in Singapore. 57-year-old Ng first learned to play music in his teens. He then studied at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, learned the art of conducting and, for over a decade, played with the People’s Association Chinese Orchestra. While playing with the orchestra, he sensed that the design of many instruments was outdated. “I always felt that the musical instruments, in terms of acoustics, were not advanced enough, compared to Western orchestral music,” says Ng. This revelation prompted him to learn about acoustics, and how to build instruments. In 1986, Ng s t a r t e d tinkering with flutes. A decade later his hobby t u r n e d serious and he began making flutes for a living. For the past 20 years, Ng has crafted more 2,000 bamboo flutes (dizi), many of which have been sought after by musicians and some of the best Chinese orchestras in the world. He often picks the raw material himself, gathering bamboo in the mountains of China, Taiwan and Japan. Then, in his 3- by 4-meter workspace (tucked into his 5-room apartment), Ng makes each flute by hand, from start to finish. The process of making each flute is timeconsuming and requires precision. The bamboo is first heated to make it more pliable. Then, it is straightened, cooled and hollowed out to create the inner diameter which determines the key of a given flute. The holes are drilled, after which a cork is inserted to control the pitch. Fine-tuning and further adjustments are followed by a polishing and application of cow bone rings at either end. Ng then engraves his name or a poem on the flute. A membrane is put into place, and the flute is finally ready to be played. Even though current-day flutes are increasingly being constructed out of synthetic materials, Ng resists the change. “The bamboo flute has been around for a thousand years,” says Ng, “and it survived because people liked it the most. Why not another material? Because it won’t be Chinese music anymore!” After poring over books for years, to research the best flute design techniques, he now has the opportunity to share his knowledge. In August, Ng moved to Beijing’s China Conservatory of Music to head a new department focusing on the research and development of Chinese musical instruments. Halfway around the world, Erik Sampson plays a meditation flute at the corner of

Bamboo Blvd and Flutemaker Way. This Florida intersection doesn’t appear on any map, because it’s private - and obscured by the towering grove of bamboo trees in Sampson’s backyard. From his densely packed grove, Sampson, aka Erik the Flutemaker, harvests the raw materials for his bamboo flutes, saxophones and penny whistles. But his now-thriving patch didn’t come to fruition until after Sampson had traveled the world, discovering a love for flute-making along the way. At 17, Sampson dropped out of school in New York City, leaving home to tour with a street-theater group protesting the Vietnam War. A spiritual quest led him through Mexico – where he learned to harvest bamboo and fashioned his first flute. He continued to make bamboo flutes in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina and Fiji - where he was invited to play for the President.

Returning to the United States, Sampson peddled his flutes for nearly 3 decades - at craft shows and renaissance festivals around the country. Landing in Florida, Sampson spotted bamboo “growing by a stop sign” and another clump in a nearby grove. That grove provided Sampson with enough Bambusa Multiplex to kick-start a flute-making career.

C/He/G-31 August 16

The Bambusa Multiplex had a storied past of its own: Originating in southern China, this species settled in Japan for centuries. Arriving by steam ship to San Francisco, it was shipped by train to Florida in the late 19th century, then planted in the tropical gardens of early horticulturalists and plant nurseries. Bamboo samplings spread to groves and gardens around Florida – including the one established near Orlando (Florida) by Henry Nehrling in 1895. Of the 180,000 flutes and saxes Sampson has created in his 40-plus years of flute production, Sampson crafted 33 “Nehrling flutes” from the bamboo originally planted in the botanist’s garden. He has since greatly expanded his repertoire of bamboo wind instruments, to include the following: The Kokin Flute: a melodic bamboo flute with a Japanese personality. The Low D Irish Flute, great for playing Celtic, Irish, Folk and Christian music. The Arabian flute, with a Middle Eastern sound. The Deep Forest Flute, made from Black Timor Bamboo; a good meditation flute. And the Counselor – a flute with a soothing-comforting voice that helps one to de-stress. Over the years, Erik the Flutemaker has learned to look at a stalk and know what kind of musical instrument it will make. “I can hear the different flutes in my memory.” He also learned to listen to the sounds of bamboo as he walks around his grove. “Bamboo is always talking to you,” he says, “if you stop and listen.”

BA Feature Article

DANCING FOR FUN & FITNESS Since the movie industry began there has been an abundance of memorable ¿lms featuring dancing such as Dancing in the Rain, Dirty Dancing, Saturday Night Fever, Fame, Foot Loose and Flash Dance to name a few. One of the common themes like in Flash Dance is the passion to become a great dancer. Probably most of us have copied moves we watched in a ¿lm to show off our dancing skills at a local club. But many of us have a strong passion to perfect our techniques and move gracefully on the dance Àoor. I‘m amazed at the number of venues in Bali where one can take dance classes: everything from Belly dancing, Tribal Fusion, Hip Hop/ Break dance, Ballet, Indian, Salsa and Tango. There’s something for everyone. What are the different types of dances you can learn? • Ballet – mostly performed to classical music, this dance style focuses on strength, technique and Àexibility. • Ballroom dancing – this involves a number of partner-dancing styles such as the waltz, swing, foxtrot, rumba and tango. • Belly dancing – originating in the Middle East, this sensual dance style is a fun way to exercise with exotic costumes. • Hip-hop – performed mostly to hip-hop music, this urban dance style can involve breaking, popping, locking and freestyling. • Jazz – a high-energy dance style involving kicks, leaps and turns to the beat of the music. • Pole dancing – has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise. It involves sensual dancing with a vertical pole, and requires muscle endurance, coordination, and upperand lower-body strength. • Salsa – involving a mixture of Caribbean, Latin American and African inÀuences, salsa is usually a partner dance and emphasizes rhythms and sensuality. What are the bene¿ts of dancing? The bene¿ts are not only physical but mental and emotional as well. They include: increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic ¿tness, improved condition of your heart and lungs, improved muscle tone and strength, weight management, stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis, improved coordination, agility and Àexibility, improved balance and spatial awareness, increased physical con¿dence, improved mental functions, improved self con¿dence and self-esteem, improved general and psychological wellbeing, improved social skills, makes you feel happy and it’s fun. I sought out instructors of the various types of dance classes available in the four main areas of Bali – Seminyak (the most popular), Canggu, Ubud and Sanur. Novie is an energetic female hip hop instructor. I was so moved by her passion as I listened to her tell her story. Growing up in a traditional Indonesian family her father was very strict wanting her to be strong. She wasn’t allowed to go out after school, so she joined some sports just to have some free time after school before heading home. When she was twenty she saw break dancing for the ¿rst time at an event and knew she wanted to learn this. She began to sneak out at night to join friends and learn to dance. The more she danced the more she loved it. Later she wanted to attend a competition in Yogyakarta and bought her own plane ticket from her wages from her of¿ce job. When she told her father he tore up her ticket and told her that if she went not to come home again. Despite the threat of losing her home and family, she followed her passion and went, even though she wasn’t competing. With her mother’s support who subdued her husband, Novie continued to follow her heart and has become the organizer for Hip Hop competitions in Bali and a full time instructor with her crew of 16 dancers. They perform at events, teach kids at schools and staff of of¿ces to relieve stress. When I attended one of her classes, (hip hop the ¿rst time for me) she was enthusiastic and made the class fun for everyone. She taught us some funky moves and explained that hip hop originated from the Afro-American street parties in the Bronx in New York during the 1970s with DJs adding breaks to the music. It’s also known as Breaking danced to funk, soul, disco and rap music. During the 1990s Hip Hop spread to other countries and has become increasingly popular with younger people. I attended an Egyptian belly dance class at Ika’s studio to refresh my body of old movements it used to know several years ago. Ika is a wonderful instructor who moves beautifully and gracefully leading the class through warm-up exercises, isolating the upper body muscles, rotating the ribcage in horizontal and vertical circles, rolling the belly and circling the hips. As the warm-up progressed she moved into dance movements combining the various techniques. Belly dancing is a fabulous form of exercise; it tones and stretches the muscles, improves coordination and

f l e x i b i l i t y, c r e a t e s g r a c e o f movement, is sensual and fun with the music. Plus you feel so beautiful dressed in an exotic costume and lots of bling jewelry. Ika also runs a small shop selling gorgeous belly dance costumes and jewelry which she hand makes for students and exports as well. The next day I returned to Ika’s dance studio to join Hadi’s Tribal Fusion class. Tribal Fusion is a combination of all dance styles including yoga, belly dancing, jazz, Àamenco, tango, Indian and any other styles. This class he was focusing on Flamenco with some additional techniques from bellydancing. Never having danced Flamenco before this class was a challenge for me. But watching Hadi move gracefully across the Àoor was spellbinding. He made everything look so easy. His regular students began to copy his movements and gradually became adroit. When two of the students donned full skirts I could really see the Flamenco emerge. Hadi is a fabulous instructor and an accomplished performer, being invited to perform internationally regularly. Putu Evie Hatch is co-founder and CEO of Mekar Bhuana Gamelan and Dance with a dance studio in Denpasar teaching Balinese dancing. Dancing since the age of four, Evie has been a professional dancer for many years and instructor since 2012. She’s a very enterprising lady who has harnessed the internet and teaches on Skype. Her foreign students are from around the world, who buy her DVD to help them learn Balinese dance. Many later come to Bali for a cultural emersion program to study gamelan and Balinese dance. Evie explains that Balinese dance began in the temples, with every village having its own style and costumes. Balinese dance emulates nature in its movements, like trees swaying in the wind. Allison Mulroy’s dream to open a dance studio has ¿nally come true, the new Dance Studio in Canggu, The Canggu Studio on Jl Nelayan, just off Batubolong. She’s an instructor of classical Indian and belly dancing and has opened the doors to a variety of different instructors to utilize the space with hip hop, contemporary and jazz to name a few types of dance. Allison is well connected in Bali’s dance world and put me in touch with many instructors throughout the island. The Canggu Studio has two stories, the upper Àoor for a variety of dance classes, yoga, Pilates and Barre Tone classes and the lower Àoor for ¿tness programs like boxing, martial arts and TRX. I attended a contemporary dance class with ten enthusiastic ladies in attendance. Relinde was the instructor who provided a fun workout which everyone enjoyed. With sweat pouring off our skin all had happy glowing faces ninety minutes later. I attended one of Allison’s Classical Indian Odissi Dance classes, which was very educational and interesting. First she told us the history of the dance which comes from Orissa in East India. The dance was created from the worship of Krishna and Shiva and has a very masculine lower body style of stomping steps while the upper body is very feminine with graceful movements of the arms, hands, head and eyes. It was a good workout for my body and brain, coordinating the upper and lower body movements, kind of like rubbing your belly and top of head at the same time. It was amazing to watch Alli go through the dance steps. I’m enticed to learn more. I also joined one of her belly dance classes for beginners. Allison is a wonderful instructor with a great sense of humour who makes her classes fun and educational. I’m sure that The Canggu Studio will be a magnet in the community drawing in everyone who has a passion to learn to dance. www. canggudancestudio.com I discovered an innovative lady, Ladibi, who has created an online dance academy and organizes dance events abroad. She began teaching dance very young to pay for her own lessons, often to students older than herself. She spends her time taking Balinese

by Shari

and tribal fusion dance classes to develop her own style. She only teaches her own style which she developed based on her studies in South America, Asia, Africa and Europe. One of her projects is DANCEFIT http://dance¿ttraining.com/ The training program for anyone who intends to keep in shape or get back to their desired shape. It’s an excellent system for losing weight by having fun and working hard at the same time. For this program she uses Contemporary Fusion Dance, a new style of dance that incorporates various styles including Contemporary, Belly Dancing, Hip Hop and more… It’s a unique style. You’ll never get bored! Whether you’re a dancer, a dance lover, a ¿tness fanatic or someone who has never done any dance before, DANCEFIT has been divided into different programs and will get you moving. The second class she teaches is about her personal way to dance the TRIBAL FUSION, based on all her years of research and studies around the world, so it’s always in evolution. It’s based on the Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Style that is a mix of Belly Dance, Flamenco and can have Indian InÀuences or any tribal dances inÀuences, plus all the techniques she has from her vision and experiences of interpretation and performing art she did and is still studying. In this class, she teaches the basis of Ballet, Contemporary, Odessi, Tap Dance, Dance Theatre and other styles to kind of create a link between the two worlds, West and Orient. “It’s like going around the world to understand a bit more the different dance traditions. To understand through the dance, that our differences are a gift, not an excuse to make war, but a reason to be in peace and to learn from each other, to love each other and to joyfully live together.” She explains. Pole dancing has historically been associated with strip clubs and night clubs but lately it has been gaining popularity as a great form of fitness for creating a toned and strong body. It’s a combination of dance and acrobatics performed on a burlesque pole. I attended a class and was amazed at the strength and Àexibility that is used in moves like climbs, spins and body inversions. It’s also very sensuous to watch. The Pole Studio Bali has been open since 2013 and drawing many ladies from all walks of life. The four week workshop is the most popular way to start pole dancing with transformations occurring not just in the woman’s body but also her con¿dence and emotional state of mind. Many ladies start out as shy and a month later feel sensuous and proud of themselves. Hen parties are very popular in the studio. One lady who had only attended 3 classes was exhibiting some ¿ne moves whereas another who had been coming to class for 4 months was able to keep up with the instructor who made the movements look effortless with graceful ease and sensuality. Another class at The Art of Body is Bootibarre, which focuses on getting your legs and buttocks in prime condition with some work on the upper body.

Local News Indonesia Looking into Nationwide Alcohol Ban Two Islamic political parties, the United Development Party and the Prosperous Justice Party are looking at introducing a bill in Indonesia to ban drinks containing more than 1% of alcohol. Indonesia’s House of Representatives are currently deliberating the bill with some officials believing that the ban, which is up for a vote in the coming weeks, could do massive damage to the local tourism industry. Indonesia’s tourism and hospitality sectors have seen uproar from the introduction of the bill, as those involved believe this could tear down the tourism trade, which relies heavily on visitors from other countries as their main source of income. Indonesia’s Institute president Ross Taylor said: “There’s a lot of people in Indonesia right now taking the view - and

they might not be wrong - that if you look at the Western world, and what alcohol is doing to young people, we don’t want that in Indonesia and we want to ban alcohol”. “There’s a lot of discussion in Indonesian society about the damage alcohol does to the wider community. The problem, of course, is if you ban it, you then create this enormous black market and it causes a whole lot of other problems.

2 Dead, 13 Injured as Truck Crashes on Sanur Bypass

A crash on Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai on Tuesday (16/8) morning in front of Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel has reportedly left two dead and 13 injured. A truck carrying 13 workers in the back hit a tree and power pole on the roadside just past midnight. According to eyewitnesses

“But in Bali, especially, there’s a very strong feeling that it’s the last thing you’d want to do, because if tourists can’t have a beer or wine on the beach, the potential consequences for tourism are going to be very severe indeed.” Indonesia already has two areas that have complete alcohol bans - the province of Papua and more the port city of Surabaya in Java, where an alcohol ban was introduced in May. (August 19th 2016)

near the crash site, the truck had been speeding and cut through a traffic light just before it crashed. “The truck drove at a high speed. It had to run the traffic light and then it swerved to the left and hit a tree on the edge of the road,” according to an eyewitness. As a result of the crash, the two people in the front of the truck died at the scene, according to reports. The remaining 13 victims were rushed

British Traveler David Taylor, Admits Bludgeoning Bali Policeman to Death

to the Sanglah Hospital emergency room by ambulances that were called by security guards from Sanur Paradise Plaza. Bali has an increasing number of road accidents

British traveler David Taylor, who is under investigation over the death of a Bali policeman, has reportedly admitted to striking the officer on the head with binoculars, a beer bottle and a mobile phone, according to his lawyer. Mr. Taylor, 33, from London, is being questioned along with his Australian girlfriend Sara Connor over the death of Inspector Wayan Sudarsa on Kuta Beach. Lawyer Haposan Sihombing said his client ‘was sorry for that incident’ which saw the policeman struck multiple times with different objects, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald. It is claimed Mr. Taylor has told police he struck the policeman during a fight on the sand and that his girlfriend from Byron Bay, in far-north NSW, tried to break up the fight. The dramatic breakthrough in the investigation came last night after police had questioned the pair for hours. The incident reportedly began with the search for a missing purse with $A300 inside, Australian woman Sara Connor says. When her boyfriend then confronted a man on the beach about the wallet, a scuffle broke out, his lawyers claim. During the questioning and interviews with their lawyers, the couple’s stories changed, with each giving different accounts of what had happened in the early hours of last Wednesday. Mr. Taylor’s lawyer, Haposan Sihombing, told reporters that Ms Connor’s handbag had been missing when the pair were on the beach and it was then that Mr. Taylor had seen a man - who turned out to be the police officer - near the area. ‘There was a struggle between David and the victim on the beach,’ Mr. Sihombing said. ‘When they were fighting, David saw Sara behind the victim. Sara tried to break up the fight. ‘David saw binoculars on the victim’s neck. He then used the binoculars to hit the victim’s head twice.’ The revelation came after a Bali police chief earlier said Ms Connor had promised to ‘admit everything’ after making ‘false statements’ about the incident. The mother-of-two and her British boyfriend were arrested on Friday (19/8) over the death of the officer. Ms Connor claims a ‘bad cop’ tried to sexually assault her on the same beach where the body of a Bali cop she allegedly murdered was found. However the head of Denpasar police has refuted Ms Connor’s claims the deceased officer was a ‘bad cop’,

The West Java Justice and Human Rights Office said Bashir deserved the reduction because he has served one-third of his sentence. It was the second three-month reduction he has received. Indonesia has a tradition of reducing the sentences of prisoners on national holidays. (August 19th 2016)

agrees that higher cigarette prices will be a good move. The Indonesian Tobacco Society Movement (Gemati), for instance, stated that it will be the cigarette manufacturers who benefit from the move, while the tobacco farmers will not see higher income (as prices of raw materials are not expected to rise accordingly). Another concern is that the illegal cigarette industry in Indonesia can blossom if legal cigarettes become more expensive. In basically all fields Indonesia has difficulty to combat flows of illegal products due to the country’s weak level of law enforcement. A survey conducted by the University of Indonesia’s Public Health Faculty signals that some 72 percent of Indonesian smokers will quite smoking if the government raises the price of a package to IDR 50,000.

HECTOR’S C/NV/G-31 Aug. 16

Shibboleths Revealed Expatria, the spreading collection of dots that peppers the map of Bali like kibbutzim, as if it were the beginnings of an overbearing expropriation, had an unpleasant frisson of ferment recently over the tragic death of a policeman in an affray at Kuta Beach. Though it was less over the death, it seemed, than it was about a thoughtful and kindly plan to raise money so that the policeman’s bereaved family would not end up in ruinous poverty. The issue, for those whose plan this was, was not one of guilt or innocence, or even of the circumstances. These are properly matters for the police investigation, the prosecutors, the defence lawyers, the defendants, and the judiciary. Everyone else is supernumerary to these arrangements, or should be. Some among the cohort of thicker, self-centred, expatriates here would benefit from understanding that. The thing is, you see, it’s very difficult to argue with people whose set views define their untutored assumptions about imperfect justice and shambolic public officialdom in Indonesia. Nowhere is perfect. Mistakes are made everywhere. That, inter alia, is one of the most pressing arguments against the death penalty. No decision should ever be made that cannot be changed or reversed. When a blather-load of shibboleths is trotted out by the disaffected, as it so sadly was in the instance of the death of sub-inspector Wayan Sudarsa, they throw up smokescreens that hide the blindingly obvious. They also obscure from view – until it’s too late – the rocks that always litter the path of public discussion. We did check, of course, but as expected we found that none among those offering policing, investigatory or legal opinions had any standing in these matters. So basically, they should have shut up. They didn’t like being told this, naturally. In Expatria, the loud-mouthed man is king. Or thinks he is. It was an unedifying though salutary episode. The funding appeal is going well, by the way.

It’s a Giggle The Distaff, dear thing, is a serious lass, particularly when she feels herself under siege by the asinine crowd, that informal collective of the cerebrally challenged or seriously up themselves who ignore common sense and as result blunder blindly and inevitably into the mire. Sometimes one joins her in wishing it were quicksand. Her intolerance of idiocy is among her most attractive features. The Diary as a consequence seeks from time to time to make her laugh, or at least giggle (she does a good giggle now and then, when encouraged to lighten up). At last resort, we’re content with a smile, and if the environment is particularly dire at the time, we’ll even settle for a wan one. Beggars, they say, cannot be choosers. So one evening recently, when we were dining at Vincent’s, the Candi Dasa eatery that offers nice music, and delicious fare including haloumi in various preparations, we decided to give her a laugh. She’s had a hard day, poor thing. Our method is to say something of quite extraordinary stupidity. On this occasion it worked a treat. Inquiry had been made as to what had chiefly constituted the compote that underlay the salad that accompanied the Diary’s pastry-baked haloumi. We ventured the thought, accompanied by a perfectly straight face, that it might be crushed quinoa beans. The effect of this intelligence was electric. The Distaff dissolved into hysterics for some considerable time, with successive recurrent bouts. It was plainly a triumph. Hysteria is the very apogee of cause and effect in discourse with the Distaff; it is the Holy Grail, so to speak. There was further reward. As we left the restaurant a little later a lovely young woman who was dining a deux at a neighbouring table gave the Diary a perfectly wonderful smile. She clearly appreciated, and wanted to applaud, the fact that an old codger could still administer a powerful dose of levity to his dinner companion. Laughter is, after all, the best medicine.

Coo! Ta! Perth, the world’s most isolated capital city, is a step closer to getting its own Ku De Ta to further cement its position as

Bali’s southern suburb. The KDT brand has been granted a conditional liquor licence for its proposed premises on the redeveloped waterfront in Perth’s central business district. Jo Hocking, a name familiar to many in Bali and Cambodia (the latter briefly, we understand) asked a question on a post on The Beat Daily’s Facebook the other day, in relation to this intelligence. She asked: “No dancing in bikinis though?” We can suppose not, the fun police being extremely active in Hibernation Central. This is no bad thing. If we want dancing bikinis in our face while we’re sipping the latest designer mojito (we don’t, the point is polemical) there are plenty of pole-dancing and other establishments where gratuitous exposure of flesh is available to view at the market price. In this instance not only the boringly prescriptive and omnipresent fun police are in the way, but also Perth’s chilly winters and fresh summer breezes. There are many ways, after all, in which lissom young ladies can choose to stand out in the crowd.

Check, Lit. The Diary is limbering up for the delights of Bali’s annual literary feast, Janet DeNeefe’s Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, which this year is on Oct. 26-30. The line-up includes Erica Jong, Lionel Shriver, Dewi Lestari, Hanya Yanigahara, Helon Habila, Kamila Shamsie, Amit Chaudhuri, Eka Kurniawan, Jill Dawson, and Ariel Leve. Ahead of that not to be missed beneficence, there’s another lit glit occasion that has caught our eye. It’s the latest in Jade Richardson’s Write of Passage courses, this one in Ubud on Sep. 5-9. Richardson has been in Denmark for a while – the one in Western Australia, where the complexities and machinations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet are, we understand, rather outdone by those of the local Yoga collective – but is now back where she should be, in Bali. We’ll have to see about lunch. She bills the workshop as a rare chance to join one of the world’s best journeys for writers in its heartland of beautiful, magical Bali: “an empowering journey for those longing to find their voice, on the brink of a new work, or seeking a creative push into the beautiful ride of loving the writing.” Well, that certainly sounds more fun than a double-decaf soy lite latte no sugar, so we’ve made a note to follow the action. Hector’s amanuensis has a book of his own in the works between diaries and dealings with Expatria (see above) though it may not be of the genre that Richardson’s aspiring writers would view as empowering.

Richardson is an investigative journalist, photographer, editor, writing coach and speaker whose work appears in major newspapers, magazines and anthologies. She draws on her own career and studies with authors, teachers and wisdom keepers to provide a creative writing process that she claims, with reason, is like no other.

Noah! Not My Place! We had to giggle when the unusually extreme summer floods that have been ravaging Louisiana in the USA decided to destroy the home of Tony Perkins, president of an anti-gay religious lobbying group, the Family Research Council. Among the many idiocies Perkins has publicly uttered in his career as a Christian fundamentalist of fundamental dysfunction is a claim that god sends natural disasters to punish an increasingly gay-friendly world. He called in to his own radio show to describe the flood as one of “biblical proportions”, though apparently without irony. We suspect that irony, as with a grip on the powerful proclivities of karma or the avoirdupois of schadenfreude, is something else in which he is dysfunctional. This particular deluge was not because of the gays, he said. It was an “incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.” Should have built an Ark, Bro.
