TEAMTALK

COLOR ME HAPPY ‘Om Swastiastu...’

In what felt like no time at all, the month of June has crept upon us and the island of Bali is slowly entering its high season. We wanted to keep this edition lighthearted and fun, just like the sunny summery days that tourists dream about when they book their plane tickets and accommodation in Bali months ahead of time.

We start out with an article in CRAFT & CULTURE that reminds us to put down our handheld devices every so often so we can remember the simple pleasures of playing children’s games.

COVER Oil on canvas by Daniel

In DINE & DELIGHTS we peek into the La Finca restaurant in Canggu to experience their weekly ‘Sassy Salsa Night.’ It’s the perfect place to momentarily toss out your inhibitions and dance the night away to salsa rhythms (after enjoying a delicious dinner of Ibiza style home cooking, of course)!

We have some other articles related to ‘seizing the day’ – read our contributor’s humorous attempt to gain transport independence via motorbike in PONDERING POINT, then turn to ACTION & ATTRACTION to learn about how you can be rewarded with a memorable experience at Bali Sharks; you just have to put aside your fears and preconceived notions about these incredible sea creatures.

Lastly, don’t forget to check out this month’s FOTO FOLIO, which features a selection of eye-catching paintings housed at the newly opened Purpa Gallery in Seminyak. We hope the vibrant colors and imagery will help brighten your day! Be safe while you explore the island and enjoy this month of June.

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort opens its brand new Play@Sheraton Kids Club this month, which features “edutainment” programs for children up to 12 years old that encourage exploration of Balinese culture in a fun way. The two-story space boasts computer stations, books, a flat screen TV with international channels, and a DVD player. There’s even a wet area with a sand pit and healthy food from the resort’s ‘Colour Your Mini Plate’ menu. The club is complimentary for all in-house guests from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but outside guests can take advantage of it as well with a minimum transaction of Rp. 350,000++ at the resort’s Shine Spa. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, Jalan Pantai Kuta, Kuta (0361) 846-5555, www.sheraton.com/balikuta

HEALTHY & TASTY Golden Lotus Restaurant at the Bali Dynasty Resort in Kuta is offering special Chinese Herbal Soups until the end of July.

Popular amongst the Cantonese, these soups are light and tasty and made with herbs that have healing benefits such as Wai-san (an anti-aging herb beneficial for the stomach, spleen and lungs). There are two soup options – seafood and chicken – available for Rp. 75,000 net/bowl. We recommend these herbal soups to help fend off pesky colds during the transition from rainy to dry season.

An all-day Asian brasserie has opened in Seminyak called Fat Gajah Restaurant & Bar – the latest brainchild of the team behind the renowned Chandi Restaurant. Fat Gajah is a casual yet refined space featuring an open kitchen and intimate ambiance.

You’ll also find salads and desserts! Open daily for lunch and dinner, Fat Gajah is really the place to dine this month.

days. Here are five games that I used to play as a child growing up in Bali.

You might recognize some of them – why not try them out with your little ones?

ELEPHANT - HUMAN ANT This is basically the Indonesian version of rock-paper-scissors. Your thumb represents an elephant, your index finger represents a human, and your little finger represents an ant. The elephant wins against the human but loses against the ant. The human wins against ant but loses against the elephant. And the ant wins against the elephant but loses against the human.

How to play • Say “Elephant-human-ant” • Extend the finger of your choice (thumb, index or little finger)

The annual I’m An Angel (IAA) charity event is returning for its 12th year, scheduled for July 12 at Ku De Ta. Last year the event successfully raised over one billion rupiah to help local communities in need, such as the children and families of Dusun Banjar Dalem in Northeast Bali.

This year the IAA charity dinner is welcoming guest chef/owner David Thompson of Nahm in Bangkok, which was ranked No. 32 in the World’s Best Restaurants and No. 1 in Asia. Guests of the dinner will have the opportunity to make monetary donations, and there will be both live and silent auctions to help generate the funds necessary to fuel the IAA initiatives. These initiatives include the distribution of school packages and nutrition supplements to school children, socialization and coordination for a clean water supply, hygiene awareness, and proper sanitation.

IAA is a charity founded in 2013 by Asana Viebeke Lengkong, dedicated to empowering Bali’s rural communities and improving their living standards amidst scarce resources and socio-economic challenges. Visit the IAA website to learn about making a donation and alternative ways that you can help.

■ DEPARTURE Arrive at the airport two hours prior to departure. A Rp. 150,000 international departure tax is required. Domestic departure fee is Rp 40,000. No Fiscal tax-exempt to pay for Indonesian and expatriates holding KITAS for International departure. Ngurah Rai Intíl Airport, Tel: (0361) 751-011

Call an ambulance by dialing 118, but it is a lot more practical and quicker to hire a taxi. Most hotels have on-call doctors on standby. For “Bali Belly”, Lomotil and Imodium eliminate symptoms, but not gastro-related infections. A fever along with symptoms requires doctor-prescribed antibiotics.

Drink as much liquid as possible. Isotonic drinks under various brand names are widely available and are known to replenish body hydration and replace fluids. For discomfort, diarrhea and cramping, drink strong, hot tea; avoid fruits and spicy foods.

Some day-biting mosquitoes carry dengue fever, but this is not a problem in tourist areas.

Bali is non-malarial and prophylaxis is not required. Mosquito bites, cuts or abrasions easily become infected in the tropics. Treat them immediately.

Drink only bottled or boiled water. Peel fruit before eating; avoid raw vegetables except at reputable restaurants. Ice in restaurants is safe.

Protect yourself from the intense equatorial sun.

Use high SPF sunblock and a hat.

AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases are increasing in Indonesia. Local sex workers have multiple partners from around the world.

They are not checked for sexually transmitted diseases. Act responsibly and use condoms, available over the counter at pharmacies.
