he visitors who came to Bali are usually amazed at the culture and religious heritage which is the uniqueness of Bali. They are presented with an overwhelming and memorable experience. The nature of Bali also makes visitors find a good and serene sanctuary to relax. One of the visitors, Mr. Bruno, also has the same opinion about Bali. “Bali is an island rich in culture and tradition. I love the nature. I love everything in this marvelous island, he said. Many apartment hotels may be found in Bali which provide the comfortable stay, Mr. Bruno chose Aston Grand Kuta. “The hotel is really good with friendly staffs. They are kind and helpful at the moment. The hotel also provides the great setting during my stay, “said Mr. Bruno when asked about the reason why he chose the hotel as his

Legionnaires Case Did Not Affect Tourists he case of Legionnaires disease afflicting to a number of foreign tourists coming home from Bali some time ago seemed to receive serious attention from the Governor of Bali Made Mangku Pastika. To revent the wider spread of the disease, the number one figure in Bali was reminiscent of the hospitality industry to always keep the environmental sanitation of the hotel. To this extent, the case did not affect the tourists. Everything remains under control. “Nevertheless, we are calling for the hotel industry, including the general public, to always maintain the environmental sanitation,” said Mangku Pastika after attending the coffee morning event with the regents/mayor, legislators and religious leaders across Bali in Denpasar, Saturday (Jan 22). As reported previously, the Australian Health Authorities had found several cases of Legionnaires disease (Legionella pneumophila) among its citizens after a tour in Bali since August 2010. In response to the matter, Australia issued a travel advisory to their citizens who wanted to travel to Bali. Legionnaire disease is an infectious disease caused by Legionella sp bacteria attacking the respiratory tract. In response to the finding of the disease case, Mangku Pastika asserted that Bali Provincial Government was currently in the process of investigating the cause of the disease. Based on provisional estimation, the bacteriacaused disease was from the waste water disposal of dirty air conditioning system. “We’ve taken measures quickly to examine and investigate the problem. The problem (of Legionnaires disease) is being spread by bacteria that most likely originated from dirty water of the air conditioning system,” he said. Pursuant to the result of temporary identification, he said, most of the tourists infected by the disease stayed at the same hotel in Kuta area. Therefore, the former police chief of Bali

was calling for the circle of hotel industry to really maintain the sanitation of their environment including the sanitation of air condition and other facilities likely to become the breeding grounds for the Legionnela sp bacteria. “Indeed, the air conditioners need cleaning periodically. Otherwise, the bacteria will thrive everywhere,” he warned. Related to travel advisory issued by the Australian Government for the citizens who wanted to spend holidays in Bali, Mangku Pastika responded to it calmly. He convinced that Australian tourists would keep on coming. “I am sure they (Australian tourists—Ed) will continue to visit Bali. Nevertheless, the hotels are still obliged to maintain the sanitation of the hotel to prevent further spreads of the disease or if possible it should be stopped,” he said. (BTN/kmb) B N

In the developing tourism, he suggested to keep the traditional culture of Bali. “Many people came to Bali to see the culture, featuring the extraordinary natural beauty along with its temples, art and traditional ceremony, “ he added in the last session of the interview.

Magical aura exuded by some temples around the Tanah Lot tourist object is getting more perceived easily. As if they inspired dozens of bare-chested men to show off the expression of their soul. Moreover, when accompanied by the pounding sound of waves and dim light of torches, their spirit is getting higher and higher. Loud voice breaks the darkness of night ... cak… cak…. cak ....cak ....cak ... cih! Meanwhile, their a cappella responds to one another and turns into a very sweet melody. It is occasionally loud, while on the other occasion it is too slow letting the sound of waves come into a nice collaboration. At particular time, there is a long scream, lilting carol and hissing sound. In the wrap of simple checkered clothes with hibiscus flower affixed on the ear, all men dance with delight vivaciously. They smile while vibrating their fingers. At the other time, they also sing by uttering the expressions like.... ngur .... yang .. nger...yang…. ngur .... yang ... nger…. yang…. sir....

It is the staging of the art of Cak organized at Tanah Lot tourist object every day starting at 7:00 p.m. Local Time.

There are four programs launched, namely elementary class, extension class, intensive class and professional class,” said I Nengah Sudarsana, Manager of DSS. The establishment of DSS was motivated by the sense of caring and desire to do something in response to frequent natural disasters such as flooding and tsunami that often occurred within the country. He said that majority of our society were unable to swim. In addition, DSS also had a commitment to nurture and give birth to reliable athletes of swimming.

Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys. Petitenget Temple Peti Tenget temple and beach is located at Banjar Batubelig, Kerobokan village kecamatan Kuta. To reach this object by motor vehicle from Denpasar, go westwards more or less 10 km then turn south, or to the north from Kuta following Raya Seminyak Street. Peti Tenget temple was built in the 15th century and it used to be a plot of extraordinary holy (Tenget) land, bush growth and dwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demon that was trusted by Holy priest, Dang Hyang Nirartha to safeguard his holy box. The story told that when the priest stayed at south port (now Uluwatu), a man from Kerobokan village came asking the priest for help. He wished to cultivate the plot of land without feeling fear. The priest suggested that the people build a temple dedicated to god ‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a single closed shrine (Pagedongan) for Bhuta Ijo as a place to safeguard the priest’s box (Peti). From that time on, the temple was named Peti Tenget Temple. Sadha Temple This temple, with decorative carvings, is famous for its intricacy and ingenuity. Dating from the Majapahit period, this originally was an old dynastic sanctuary (prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘Candi’ in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic ancestral shrines, commemorate warriors who died in battle. Taman Ayun Temple ‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful garden, located in the village of Mengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar. It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom, built its stately proportioned courtyards and large surrounding moat in the year 1634. Containing both the Royal family ancestral shrines and the storied MERU shrines to the major deities, Taman Ayun became the main temple for the ancient kingdom of Mengwi. BTN (BTN/*)

Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world.

This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels.

Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion.

The trees cannot be found on any other part of Bali and their existence in this village remains a mystery. Look for a lovely mossy temple, which is hidden amongst the tall and gracious ‘Pala’ trees.

river, called Kumbasari Market because the local society will feel that their shopping experience would be incomplete without going to the Kumbasari Market, especially for the Balinese who want to buy their ceremonial items. Kumbasari Market sells costume and clothing items at prices relatively cheaper than clothing items sold at the shops in Gajah Mada Street which are mostly owned by citizens of Chinese clan. Kumbasari Market was previously called Peken Payuk (pot market); it sold such items as gerabah (jar like pot), cobek (clay plates), paso (clay buckets), caratan (clay water jug), jeding (clay barrel), penyantokan (mixer from clay), coblong (clay cup),

kekeb (rice cover) and others. All of these items are used as kitchenware and for ceremony. Since this market was most popular as a place to sell payuk/ pot, hence Kumbasari Market in the past was referred to as Peken Payuk or pot market. The location of Denpasar Market is encircled by shops along the street of Gajah Mada. On the right side there is Sulawesi Street which is famous for textiles. Denpasar Traditional Market is progressively strengthening the identity of Denpasar’s economic center which is open 24 hours and is never silent or empty of visitors.

At traditional market, you will find transactions taking place between buyers and merchants with multifarious merchandise to satisfy life’s daily needs such as kitchen supplies, appliances required for Hindu ritual, fruits and tra-

From the entrance gate to the temple building you will find the Balinese decorations full of meaning to Hindu devotees. Bali Museum Bali Museum is located right next door to Jaganata Temple and in this museum you will find a lot of the ancient artifacts of prehistory which have very high artistic value.

It’s just 30 meters from the beach at Tulamben, a World War I—era cargo ship, broken up but impressively large, stretching along more than 100 meters of steeply sloping sand. The top of the wreck is just 3 meters underwater; the bottom is at 29 meters. The history of this wreck was start from January 11, 1942. This ship was hit by torpedoes from a Japanese submarine while crossing the Lombok Strait. The damage was critical, but two destroyers hitched up to the ship and tried to tow it the port at Singaraja, North Bali. The wounded cargo ship was taking on too much water, however, and her crew ran the vessel up on to the beach at Tulamben. There she stayed until 1963 and were in the process of cutting her up for scrapt when Mount Agung exploded in 1963. The explosion was disastrous, killing thousands and destroying vast tracts of fertile Riceland to the south. It also pushed the Liberty off the beach to its present location, in the process splitting the hull in two. The wreck of the Liberty lies parrarel to the shore on a steep sand slope, part of the super-structure in within snorkeling distance from the surface. The hulk is

Tulamben The Underwater Paradise broken into large chunks, and there are lots of big holes in the hull, making it easy to explore the vessel’s innards. Australian Rudie Kuiter, author of the definitive guide to Indonesian Reef Fishes, estimates that some 400 species of reef fishes live on the wreck, which is also visited by perhaps 100 species of pelagics. These are remarkable numbers for an area just 100 meters long. Sometimes called Paradise Reef, this place is full of surprises, ribbon ells, mimic octopus, boxer crabs, ghost pipefish, seahorse, leaf fish, garden eels, lion fish, harlequin shrimp are among the unusual marine lives found here. Underwater photographers dive here more than 5 times a day and they still find the place so interesting. A generally shallow dive, from 3m down to 15m, although there are some interesting species like” Steene’s Dottyback” which lives at 55m. The wreck always crowded with schools of Jack Fish, hundreds of them, and they are so friendly. There were also have a variety of nudibranchs, the “naked gilled” sea slugs, are the most interesting to the diver in Tulamben. Like common garden slugs, they are snail-like animals hat have lost their shells. Nudibranchs are often stringly colored, carnivorous, and most are very prey specific, feeding for only on particular types of soft coral or sponges. Since these prey animals are often very colorful, so are the nudibranchs. Flatworms often have strikingly beautiful colors divers associate with nudibranchs, which are mollusks. They move by gliding over the bottom, or by muscular undulations. This latter waving action is characteristic, and mimicked by the juveniles of several species of fish. This mimicry and the bright colors suggest the presence of a noxious chemical to deter predator. (BTN/ist)

Golf Course in Rocky Stones Area BANGLI Peace and harmony

Minister of Culture and Tourism Jero Wacik is accompanied by the Regent of Bangli Made Gianyar when paying a visit to the Mount Batur. (BTN/kmb) THERE will be something new in Bangli Regency. What is it? It is the amazing golf course spreading in the middle of the exotic volcanic rocks vomited some decades ago with the picturesque backdrop of Mount Batur. Well, here will be established a golf course as an additional facility for the tourist object of Kintamani, Lake Batur, Mount Batur, Trunyan and other parts around the exquisite destination. Wow! Of course, it will be truly fantastic if it can be immediately realized. Such an inspiration emerged when the Minister of Culture and Tourism Jro Wacik paid a visit to the destination and met the Regent of Bangli Made Gianyar on Thursday (Jan 13).

Meanwhile, the feasibility study for the development of Mount Batur Geopark is in progress. The area is being targeted by the UNESCO to be promoted into a geopark region. If the idea can have been realized the tourists coming to Bali will not only spend holidays, but also perform a study because the soil here has uniqueness of its own. It has a history and will give direct impact to the surrounding community. The most important thing in this project is to keep on preserving the environment and the waste generated can be processed properly. “And the no less important is always making coordination with the local spiritual leaders such as Jero Gede Duwuran and Jero Gede Alitan as well as considering and maintaining the sanctity of the temples and environment because the Lake Batur is sanctified by the Hindus in Bali for the interests of religious ceremonies,” affirmed Jro Wacik.

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.

Tips and General Information

Calendar of Event Vol. XIII/ 4 (Jan 28- Feb 10, 2011)

Regular Cultural Performances

ETHICS OF VISITING TOURIST DESTINATIONS If you travel to Bali, you undoubtedly want to watch a variety of tourist attractions such as the beauty of nature, cultural activities and Hindu rituals. In this regard, there are certainly some norms that should be honored when visiting a destination. When you make a visit to a tourist destination like a sacred place (temple), you should comply with the following norms: 1.

Make sure you use a scarf or cloth as a minimum requirement to enter a temple. Make sure you are not in menstrual period as the Hindus considered it a spiritually temporary impurity or cuntaka. Do not pass by/through and make noise before the Hindus saying prayers. Do not hold or touch the ritual paraphernalia when religious rituals are taking place. If you want to take pictures/photographs should apply for permission in advance because there are some objects in the temple whose picture may not be immortalized. Since the temple is a sacred place for the Hindus, so tourists being in the temple area may not say rude things, or perform indecent acts. We recommend to come along with your tour guide or to ask for help to local guide of the temple you visit as some temples in Bali have prepared local guides knowing exactly about the rules that must be obeyed. In some temples, there is usually a donation (dana punia) box. If you would like to make donation, please do it sincerely.

If tourist destination you visit poses a landscape such as: Sangeh and Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest, then the points to consider are as follows: 1.

2th Temple Festival at: Pr. Batumadeg, Besakih. Pr. Sari, Br. Titih, Kapal. Pr. Jati, Ds. Batur, Kintamani. Pr. Gula Manikan/ Bandesa Mas, Br. Kawan, Padangan, Pupuan, Tabanan.

DIRECT ARRIVAL TOURISTS TO BALI (2006 - 2010)

Indian Cultural Centre (Embassy of India, Jakarta) Jl. Raya Puputan Renon No. 42 - 44 Denpasar - Bali Ph. 0361 - 241 978, Fax. 0361 - 241 980

Make sure that when you visit the object is guided by the local guide available at the object because they know very well about the character and behavior of the monkeys there. If you want to provide food (nuts, bananas and the like), it can be purchased around the object. All belongings you carry, such as eyeglasses, cameras, wallets and the like, should be stored in a safe place because there are times when goods are taken by monkeys as compensation to get food. If at that time you do not bring foods such as mentioned in point 2 above, make your hand open all the times. It’s important to show that you do not bring food or hide no food. If you want to take photos with monkeys, you have to feed them first. You should always ask for the supervision of the local guide. Each time you enter the tourist destination, you will be charged an admission fee that will vary from one tourist destination to another.

Tourist are enjoying their time in Goa Gajah Temple which is lolated in Gianyar Regeny.

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.
