1. It is always best to order a taxi by phone especially at night. 2. If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. 3. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 4. In the taxi, note the taxi’s number and the driver’s ID. This may be handy if you want to register a complaint or trace belongings left behind. 5. In places such as Ubud, Sanur, and Kuta there are many people who offer you transportation services. If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.

Body Painting Ten models served as the canvas in the arena of body painting, last Saturday (Aug 7) in the series of the Sanur Village Festival (SVF) 2010. The models used as the canvas looked full of sensation due to the painting strokes with natural style such as painting of an octopus, fish, lion and others. The body painters showing off their skills incised lively their brush with various colors on the body of a young girl. Jango Paramartha (see picture on this page), one of the painters, said that to express the ideas and scribbles onto the body was not difficult, almost the same as painting on canvas. “It is not hard to paint on the body. Most importantly, it needs a good concentration because the body as medium of painting sometimes moves,” said Jango who is also a cartoonist. Nevertheless, he said, expressing a painting onto the body should be able to follow the bodily curves of the model. “Painters must be able to disclose according to the theme featured, namely related to the environment. The entire body of the model should be covered with color,” he said. Nakita, one of the body painting models, admitted to be very pleased because she could participate in SVF event. “I am truly pleased to participate to be a ‘canvas’ in the activity of body painting. This year is the second time for me to participate,” she said.

Mr. Hugh Fisher:

Kite is My Inspiration A

musician could get their inspirations from everywhere, no exception for Hugh Fisher who got his inspiration from kites. This Canadian musician wrote his songs based on his experience especially with the kites. “Kite is very beautiful for me. And kites could be a good inspiration to write a song. When a kite is flying, we could see the movement and the beautiful color of it on the sky,” said Hugh who wrote 12 songs in his album. Hugh really loves kites and he thinks that kite is fantastic especially when we could control the kite and feel the pressure of the wind. As a musician, Hugh is very genius and just a little of musician can get the inspiration from kites. And entitled of his album is “Kite” with a blues genre. The songs in his album are very enjoyable and relaxing, make the listener feels like a kite in the sky. “This kite festival is very nice. The weather and the wind are very friendly for the kite players. I also suggest for the next event

could be much better than this year. Moreover with the amount of the kite players from other countries,” he said with smiley. B N (BTN/dewa)

Lai Titia and Roch:

Wonderful ‘Birds’ on the Sky

hese citizens of France enjoyed the kite festival that held for three days at the field besides Padang Galak Beach in Denpasar. Starting from July 23 until July 25, 2010 around 1500 kites were flown by the participants. “It looks like wonderful birds on the sky,” she said while she was pointing at Janggan kites on the sky. All those kites fulfilled the sky with beautiful colors. Although it was the first time they attended kite festival in Bali, but it wasn’t the first time they see kites. In fact, in their country in France, there is a same event which called Tonqet Paris Plage. “Unlike in France, kite festival in Bali was held every year with a great enthusiasm from the participants and visitor,” Lai said. “All people here are so creative, they compete to make many kinds of unique kite,” Roch added. By the time went on, that field was filled by more people to watch the event that only held once in a year.

The visitors stood or sat wherever they want. These kinds of activities can disturb the participants and the other visitors. These two French felt that committee should prepare more tents for the visitor so they can sit in order and didn’t disturb the participants who (BTN/prat) flew the kites. B N

It was said the tourism potential of

Kutai Kertanegara Regency was indeed very large, especially in terms of its culture, which was closely associated with the sultanate of Kutai Kertanegara Ing Martadipura. “Every year we hold the Erau Festival as a form of respect to maintain the glorious Kutai sultanate culture,” added Haryanto. Furthermore, he added it was the tourism potential owned by the regency that would be put into cooperation through the publication and promotion in the tourism media Bali Travel News.

Development of Tourism Village in North Badung:

Constraints in Human Resources and Marketing T

he development of Pangsan Village as a tourism village in the Petang subdistrict enriching the treasure of tourist attractions in Northern Badung can be enjoyed by tourists spending holiday in Bali. In its development, the

Pangsan Village still encounters an obstacle in the quality of human resources, especially those that can speak foreign languages including the marketing of tourist packages at Pangsan Village to prospective tourists. Head of Pangsan Village, Made

Suarjana, recently said the village was indeed capable of delivering various tourist attractions such as trekking, rafting and lodging facilities that have been provided by the local community. By prioritizing the agricultural sector, people at Pangsan Village

are also able to yield agricultural products that can be delighted by tourists, such as snake fruit, various vegetables like beans, green vegetables, fern tips and some other types of agricultural products. Armed with these varied agricultural products, the operators

bns-147

of the accommodation at the Pangsan Village are able to present diverse food menus that can be savored by tourists staying at the Pangsan Village. At the moment, the constraints faced by tourism perpetrators at the Pangsan Village is the lack of trekking and rafting guides including personnel being able to speak a foreign language to handle the accommodation facilities. Government is expected to provide foreign language training to the community of Pangsan in order they could serve the tourists taking vacation in the village of Pangsan in a better way. From the training of foreign language, it is hoped the community involved in the accommodation, rafting and trekking could get more leverage to serve tourists. Related to the arts, the young generation at the village has prepared an art attraction such as barong dance. Suarjana added the problem faced by tourism perpetrators at Pangsan Village was in terms of marketing of tourism package offered by Pangsan Village. Promotion stayed to be carried out by word of mouth so tourists taking vacation at the village of Pangsan was still very limited. One of the tourism participants at the Pangsan Village, Nyoman Kitha, said the development of tourism village at Pangsan indeed faced many obstacles, including human resource constraints. To serve tourists, he was only assisted by eight rafting guides, four restaurant staff and three trekking guides. Government was expected to have the capability of directing the hotel operators including those located in the Nusa Dua to provide the transfer of knowledge and tourists to the Pangsan Village. With the transfer of knowledge on tourism and foreign languages, it was hoped to enhance the quality and competence of human resources at Pangsan to extend services to tourists. According to Nyoman Kitha, in terms of promotion, the activities of rafting, trekking, including the accommodation at the Pangsan Village was still performed by word of mouth. Promotion was also committed through dissemination of brochurs distributed to tourism information centers in the area of Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar. To draw more tourists to Pangsan Village indeed needed to be supported by more labors to provide services to tourists. Head of Badung Government Tourism Office, I Made Subawa, said, as the tourism village, Pangsan had a charm in agricultural sector, trekking, rafting and other traditional arts. Pangsan Village also offered cottage accommodation facilities and also took advantage of residential house as a means of accommodation. Related to the constraints of knowledge, hotel sector in Nusa Dua had been directed to provide knowledge transfer to the community of tourism village in the North Badung including Pangsan Village. In addition, tourism school children had also been directed to have internships and service training in rural tourism as Pangsan Village. Through the students of tourism school was expected to get a transfer of knowledge in the field of foreign languages including expertise in the tourism services to the public in the village.

From The Editor Attraction of Balinese Traditional Sports

Traditional Sports:

Enjoy the Experience as the Locals Do

side from sightseeing to nature, leisure experience can also be obtained by enjoying some intriguing local traditions. There are light daily activities, hobbies, traditional sports and so forth. Many people do this just for getting the experience, not for the end result. Balinese community has several traditional sports and games. Probably, the only one display of those sports and games can be found in the annual implementation of Bali Arts Festival (BAF). It poses one of the media used to preserve and promote the treasure of cultural heritages together with other cultural elements. Such an endeavor is required to be introduced to the modern generation. If they never know about those sports they will never appreciate theirs. Moreover, they now tend to be attracted by modern games that sometimes make their parents worried on account of characters played in the video games or the like. They may turn less patient or when having no money to play the games it kindles them to commit crime. No matter small it is, it remains hazardous. However, it does not necessarily mean that modern games must be rejected. The key is that children should be persistently under parental control to minimize the negative impact because it also contains educational value. Meanwhile, traditional games will teach them how to get in touch with nature, prepare the tools, cooperate with others and tolerate friends. Here, their patience is required until the toys can be completed. In addition, their relationship will establish togetherness in the level of their understanding. Since most traditional games are played outside the house, so they can know better their surrounding environment and friends. These values enable them to enrich their outlook.

There are a variety of traditional sports and games such as stilts, sack race, coconut-shell clog, tug-of-war, pulling areca-sheath and many others. When managed well, these traditional sports can create a good business. Craftsmen, for instance, can make the tools and their replica that may be taken advantage for souvenir by tourists. Moreover, if they are designed with the touch of Balinese ornamental styles they are going to give added value. In addition, the games like stilts (tajog) can become an optional attraction for tourists. Getting involved in the games of course will drive a pleasure of its own. Try change the orientation. If the games or sports usually played by the locals, let’s share them with our guests. Then, if the games usually played at smooth or even land can be played with a slight challenge such as by crossing shallow-watered river or even on the beach, near the edges of waves. With different condition and background along this challenge, it certainly becomes an attractive and unique adventure. Without doubt, there are more traditional games and sports that need exploring and discovering. These traditions actually are potential products becoming attractive games offered to visitors. While preserving, we can also offer something different from modern games offered by other destinations. If Bali will ‘go green’ with its organic agriculture, its tradition can also offer ‘eco-friendly’ attraction where it is unnecessary to exploit the nature excessively but it even can go hand in hand with the preservation of local tradition. One day, the treasures of traditional games and sports could be coalesced into a ‘traditional games park.’ Ultimately, let’s share the fun of our traditions by involving visitors in the experience as the locals do.

n this globalization era, in fact Bali remains to preserve and maintain a variety of traditions becoming their ancestral heritage. It is not merely their tradition and philosophy of life are based on the Tri Hita Karana (THK) concept, namely maintaining harmony of human beings (social); living in harmony with God (spiritual) and in harmony with the nature (environment). However, their customs and day-to-day activities are referred to the same concept. For example, diverse traditional games continue to be played with fun by Balinese children, although many modern games can be accessed via the Internet also growing in Bali. In short, the people of Bali are still carrying out their traditional sports in the midst of globalization exposure. What are their traditional sports? Just come to the countryside of Bali and explore their splendor! B N

fter he completed his education at BPLP, he then got a job at Kartika Plaza Hotel in 1990. He started his career from the Front Office Division as a receptionist and reservation in the next year. Until then, in 1992 he switched to sales division and there his career rose until he was appointed as Director of Sales in November 1999. While

serving as Director of Sales, he experienced the biggest challenge of his career because at that time a massive strike by the employees made the hotel closed and guests were moved to another hotel. Such an action caused the image of the hotel to decline and turned

negative. “I was very disappointed with the incident. I could not understand why the employees did the strike, even though we knew that every problem can be discussed and sought the best solution. But it had already happened and it was really

a challenge for me. When the hotel was re-opened, we should be able to restore the hotel’s image which had turned negative until then returned to the condition before the incident happened. It was not easy. We did a variety of ways to rebuild communication to our previous relations regarding to the incidence of the strike until we get their trust again,” explained the man who studied at The Hague Summer Course in Den Haag, Holland. “When things ran better,” he continued, “in 2006 I decided to quit and seek for a new challenge by moving to Rama Beach Resort & Villas. There, I occupied the position as General Manager and the challenge in general was to restore the tourism image after reexposed to the bomb problem and the tsunami as well. In 2007, I got an offer to become Resident Manager in Bali Niksoma needing someone with experience in marketing and operation,” said the man who really loves a challenge. He mentioned that Bali Niksoma was a unique and stylish hotel. The hotel had a boutique style concept where the hotel put more emphasis on personalized services. It also meant that satisfaction of guests became the main focus of the hotel. Another aspect distinguishing the hotel from the others was that any items or decorations displayed could be purchased by guests if they wished. “The key in implementing personalized services lies on the employees. Therefore, their

relationship to other fellow employees, employees to the owner, employees to guests, and employees to their workplace are remarkably essential. Thing to be concerned is that at the time of recruitment. We do not recruit employees arbitrarily. In this regard, there are three aspects of competence to be considered, namely attitude, knowledge and skill. These three aspects must exist because if they lack, they will face many difficulties in the future,” he added. When asked about tourism in Bali, he believed that tourism became a source of major revenue. Therefore, tourism should be well maintained. He continued that the image of tourism was not obtained from the people who managed it, but it already had a special attraction since the very beginning. “We can say that 80 percent of Bali already becomes the attraction for tourists and 20 percent depends on how the people manage it,” he said. He also explained the very dominant problems in Bali lay on the infrastructure where traffic congestion posed the main focus, bad service system at the airport caused tourists to wait for a long time, and the issues on tourism object were still not well managed. “On that account, all perpetrators of tourism including government should pay utmost attention to the problem and seek immediate solution because if the situation persists, it is not impossible that tourists will divert their destination to other regions,” he advised.

The Kite Festival at Tanah Lot:

Com1-742

was just looking forward to a free, relaxed weekend, when a close friend called me asking if I would like to join him to go to the Kites Festival at Tanah Lot. Feeling my hesitation he urged me by explaining that this kite festival would be a good opportunity to learn more about Balinese culture and that kite flying was not just kiting flying but much more a spiritual happening that was in line with the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. I had no alternative than to go, my friend had touched my soul knowing my interest in Balinese culture and especially the Tri Hita Karana. Early in the morning he picked me up and at that time I didn’t know in advance that it would be such a fantastic experience to understand more of Balinese culture. Nobody ever before had recommended me to see a kite festival, although in terms of cultural impact this event is more or less comparable with a big ceremonial funeral that all

international tourists during their stay on Bali like to see. I am still wondering what could be the reason that apparently not so many tourists are eager to visit a kite festival. I guess the reason is that they simply don’t know. What an excitement to get a kite into the air and to see how many people are busy and running to get it done. I know that for each soldier a whole chain of men and logistics is involved before the soldier is really operational and ready to fight. The same with kite flying, it is far from a one-man-operation. A big kite festival needs many people, who are active by doing the job or passive just by enjoying what’s going on. What to think of a dragon kite with a tail of 200 meters long. Just as with airplanes there are different types. The most classic models are the dragon kite (janggan), the fish kite (bebean) and the new moon kite (pecukan), and each type can be different dependent of the architect. To get these enormous kites into the air, you need the help of many

LOLEC Column

experienced people and still at the ‘moment suprème’ you hold your breath if it will succeed. That is no picnic but a whole enterprise. You need one team to hold the kite before it is going up, another team, the kite runners, is holding the line, one time to give way to and another time to tighten the line and all the time fans from each banjar are playing gamelan music to encourage the performance. Furthermore, on the sideline of the playground you will find a long string of warungs, providing food the whole day long and last but not least you will find an enormous crowd of people who are enjoying the spectacle and all attractions. On a strategic place a commanding tower has been built from where reporters have a nice overview of the playground and give their comment about what’s happening. From here the green flag will be raised to start flying and from this place raising the red flag means that the flying is over. Each banjar has its own kite and supporters. Mostly the big kites have already been transported by truck the evening before, to reduce traffic-jam and to make sure that the kite and its crew are in time. Each kite has a leader or chief who takes the critical decisions and gives instructions to keep the process of kite running. You could compare him with a football coach, who is responsible for the

teamwork and is able to overview the whole. The leader has a lot of experience in flying and knows how unpredictable the wind can be. If the wind falls down, the leader has to react fast in trying to overcome this critical moment or if the kite falls down to wait for a chance to start again. I have become –as you may conclude from this column- rather enthusiastic about kite flying that in fact is so much more than just a sport. The core of kite flying on Bali is that this event is considered as a spiritual activity that smoothly fits in the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. In this respect kite flying in Bali is quite different from that abroad. No kite festival on Bali will ever start without an upacara in the temporary temple, where will be prayed to Rare Angon (Little Cowherd) the God of kiting. People pray to Rare Angon to invite a favorable wind so the kite will be dancing in the wind. But people also pray for energy in life and promise to take care for each other and to protect the environment. And indifferent if the wind is favorable or not, the people are thankful for life. That is the underlying message of a kite festival and makes this event so unique. There is much more to tell about Rare Angon and kite flying, but for the moment this will do. The Kite Festival Tanah Lot is

held in the middle of the rice fields after the rice has been harvested. Then it is prime time for young boys to herd the cows and to play kite flying. And if you see during this kite festival at Tanah Lot a kite high in the sky with the colors of Brahma (red), Vishnu (black) and Shiwa (white), and you see all those people trying hard to keep the kite high, while the crowd is cheering and looking up, at that moment you imagine to be near God and would like to be a kite yourself. Of course there are winners who will get an award. The jury will weigh all aspects of the kite flying such as the design of the kite, the dancing in the wind, the teamwork and the sound of the kite and finally the banjar with the highest average will be the winner. Still winning is not an objective as such and also in this respect the kite festival on Bali is quite different from that elsewhere in the world, where it is all about winning. A kite festival on Bali has winners and losers, success and disappointment, but that is life. More important than individual achievement and ambition is the concept of a popular event for young and old with a high degree of spirituality. That’s real sport!

The breeder group having 56,156 local variety chickens was selected the best in the category of local chicken intensification in the national level. Achievement attained by the Yuda Pertiwi group was by winning the fifth champion after setting aside 30 large farmer groups from provinces across Indonesia. (BTN/bud)

Territory of Kutai Kertanegara was formerly the sultanate of Kutai Kertanegara Ing Martadipura. To that end, Government of Kutai Kertanegara Regency with sultanate relatives attempted to preserve the indigenous culture by organizing traditional ceremonies every year. Later on, such customary ritual became Erau Festival.

Join Legian Beach Festival KUTA - This year is the fourth Legian Beach Festival (LBF) supported by the Indonesia Tourism Ministry. Legian Beach Festival is held mainly to promote and introduce the Indonesian culture to local and foreign tourists. This festival was not only concentrated on Bali culture, but also Indonesian culture. It was proven by the participation of 35 regencies from all over Indonesia. In the Legian Beach Festival, ach of those regencies performed their own unique culture and tradition, through stage performance and cultural booth.

Fall in Love with Balinese Culture

hese two young lovers were falling in love with Balinese culture. It was proven by their activities in Bali which always watch traditional dances in every opportunity. Since they were landed in Bali, they had watched Kecak Dance, Legong Dance, Barong Dance and many others. Even though this was their first visit to Bali, but they were already falling in love, especially with the culture. It was so fresh, natural, unique and beautiful. “We really love Balinese dances. It is so amazing. The dancers were wearing beautiful clothes and gelungan on their head,” said this couple excitedly. “If we have a chance, we would like to try to put those clothes on,” they added. These two citizens of Denmark admitted that they were recommended to visit Bali by their friends who went to Bali two years ago in 2008. “Our friends said Bali is safe. We were insisted to go here

and now we have no regret. All things they said to us about Bali are true,” said them. As an Island that had bomb incidents in 2002 and 2005, Bali were still well trusted by tourists all over the world to be a safety tourism object. “I think it is

The monkeys are very friendly towards people, but sometimes they steal food and sunglasses from tourists, so the tourists have to be careful around them. Susanna was afraid of the monkey than her boyfriend went inside to monkey forest alone. “I decided to wait for my boyfriend here, I don’t like monkey”, she said to the Bali Travel News. During her three weeks holiday in Bali, she has already visited some beautiful tourist destinations like Kuta, Uluwatu, Tanah Lot and Batur.

his is the second time for Yves Roger to come to Bali. The first time was two years ago when he had a government business. Now he brings his family to come here in order to spend the holiday. He and his family love Bali very much. They can feel relaxed because of the quiet and beautiful nature. They choose Waka di Ume Resort and Spa as their place to stay in Bali because the hotel is good, quite, and in a traditional style. They can also enjoy the view because it is directly in touch with the environment. In Bali, they have already visited many places such as Seminyak, Jimbaran, Tanah lot, Uluwatu, Menjangan Island and Batur. They feel enjoy in those places. They learn many Balinese culture and the most interesting one is about dance. “When I came to Uluwatu, I learned about some of the Balinese dances, like Legong, Kecak, very creative I think,” said Mr Roger when asked

about the experience that he and his family got from the visited places. In Bali they also feel secure because the Balinese people are very kind and helpful. Asked about something that they don’t like in Bali, they answered that there is nothing they don’t like. As a whole, he continued, Bali is a very good island with beautiful nature and rich of culture. A thing to be concerned is only about the different culture brought by some tourists which can influence or change the Balinese culture itself and later it will potentially lose the soul and the identity of Balinese people. “Good balance is very important in this case. You will lose your identity if there are too many tourists come here. But of course you still need tourists. So it is important to make a good balance between Balinese people and tourists in order to prevent the mixed culture which potentially changes your own identity,” he suggested. B N (BTN/dewa)

Fur thermore, CSR-focused businesses would proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. Essentially, CSR is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, and the honoring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit. This is the idea behind the activity that conducted by Human Resources Department in Ramada Resort Camakila, which gathered associates from every department, such as House Keeping Depar tment, Engineering Department, Accounting Department, Food & Beverage Depar tment, and Sales & Marketing Department, Saturday (10/7). As her first agenda, Human Resources Manager, Ruth Tryana Ginting and teams, started this activity by cleaning hotel area in every essential part of the hotel. She said, “by build a better environment for all the associates, being comfortable with the place we worked, it will make us happy to deliver genuine service to the guests”. It also aims to grow awareness for environment and community, in this nature friendly program that will be scheduled twice a month. Hotel parking area, and Beachfront area, are the first concerns for this activity which started at 10am. Together all of the Ramada Resort Camakila’s staff, separate recycled rubbishes from non-recycled rubbish. They also managed to keep some reusable iron that they found in each area. This way, it could reduce the amount of filth that will endanger our environment for a long term situation. Environment issues are close with our daily life, and this internal effort is consider stimulating hospitality industry into eco-friendly business. And being related to these issues is not our first attempt on CSR program. (BTN/R)

o the Indonesian, on hearing the word toilet will certainly kindle less attractive, slovenly and smelly connotation, so that many of them ignored it. Generally, the public pay less attention to the existence of toilet. Even, it is usually made into displaced room with allocation of very minimal maintenance budget or just pot luck. But, in modern life along with completely sophisticated gadgets, toilet apparently plays an important role. Even, the toilet can be said as a reflection of the sanitary culture of a household, institution, or community of its users. “Toilet is now not just a back side room of the house, but also an important part of life. Just imagine if there was no toilet, our lives can be a mess,” said the Honorary Chairperson of the Jury Panel of Clean Public Toilets Competition, Triesna Wacik, at the Museum of Bali, last Monday (Jul 19). According to her, if the toilet was put in the right place, then our lives would be comfortable, clean and healthy. Therefore, government through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General of Tourism

Destination Development, socialized the public clean toilets so that it could support the community life and tourism sector. Moreover, at the moment is announced the program known as Visit Museum Year, so the toilet plays an important role for the museum visitors wishing to defecate. Tourists visiting museums often use the toilet if they have the need to urinate or defecate. Hence, condition of a toilet in the household, corporate, or museum, poses a reflection of management of the place concerned. “If the toilets are clean, the management of the company must be clean, because it has something to do with the behavior of its people,” added Triesna, the wife of Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik. She also suggested that other than being clean, public toilets should also be safe from people ignorant. “No more people pry into the toilet with their camera,” pointed out Triesna Wacik. In the meantime, Chairman of the Bali Museum Association (Himusba), Nyoman Gunarsa, added the socialization of public clean toilets had noble aims namely displaying good, smoothly-run water, clean, beautiful, and pleasant toilets, especially for tourists. “The matter of toilets denotes central

point that can provide comfort, considering it generates an international influence. Indonesia having exotic culture should be able to design a toilet giving a good impression for travelers,” he asserted. If reflecting from the life of great and famous men in the world, in fact, toilet could not be ignored at all. Gunarsa mentioned, the physicist who discovered the atomic bomb from the United States namely Albert Einstein even got a tremendous inspiration in the toilet when he was defecating. He pondered while doing so and then he came across smart formulas of physics. “This proves that scientific discoveries are not always found in the grandiose buildings or university library, but also in the toilet,” he said. Even, the more striking one, the king of pop Michael Jackson had a special meaning in his life by making a gold-encrusted toilet. “All we can see from the behavior of Michael Jackson is that toilet is very important and made privileged in his life, even greater than the bed itself,” asserted Gunarsa. Meanwhile, the assessment of toilet in Bali, starting last Tuesday (Jul 20), targeted the members of Himusba such as Bali Museum,

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.
