Tips for Taking Taxis in Bali It is always best to order a taxi by phone especially at night. If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for a driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 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. 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. There are licensed taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.

“Resting, Shopping and Eating Out” T

he woman who came from Australia named Mrs. Judy Forbes was enjoying her holiday when met in poolside of Bali Rani Hotel where she preferred to rest herself under the sun. She said that her favorite place in Bali was at the hotel where she could find anything that she needed on her holiday. She thought The Rani Hotel & Spa is an appropriate hotel for private holiday. This woman also said that she has visited Bali many times and she loved to share her experience with her friends in Australia. Similarly, much information she got from the talk about Bali. She added that most of her friends are in love with Bali. “I think that Bali in next 10 years will be so much better. Even recently all hospitalities and kindness of people are improved, as well the cleanness and facilities,” she said. All the knowledge about Bali made her know better about some destinations in Bali and she is no longer afraid to be lost in Bali. That is why she felt at home here.

In the past, before television reached the rural life, the gallivanting show became a medium of entertainment for the people that most of them are farmers. The performance taking place for some 1015 minutes at doorstep of inhabitants was believed to give a sacred vibration so that they could avoid disaster or diseases. As soon as the show was over, people would offer oblation or canang sari to the sanctified effigy as an expression of gratitude. Gallivanting show activity has been carried out in Bali since ancient time as described in the palmleaf manuscript Barong Swari that it is a sacred dance that should be executed to chase away the evil spirits and disaster. On that account,

n general, the gallivanting show is performed in relation to the celebration of Galungan and Kuningan festivity serving as the triumph portrayal of virtue against evil. Balinese people perform the gallivanting show for a month by carrying the sesuhunan or sanctified effigy throughout the village, either in the form of barong, rangda, barong kedengkling or other effigy in compliant with local tradition.

The Love of Water and MuRI Record

Water is important for life. To socialize the importance of water in life, some 1,000 students of elementary school in West Bandung joined the activity of Drinking Dew Water organized by Purence Dew Drinking Water and Spirit Camp Educity (SpiCE).

phenomenal thing in such activity was the record creation of MuRI (Record Museum of Indonesia) in drinking dew water by 1,000 Elementary School students. The registration of the record took place at the Center for Science and Sun Timepiece Technology at Parhyangan New City, Padalarang, West Java, Saturday (13/6). As has been known, the supply of ground water on earth is getting small-

er and smaller. Similarly, its quality progressively decreases or turns unclean. It is this condition becoming the principal motivation of Purence Dew Drinking Water and Spirit Camp Educity (SpiCE) to organize a variety of activities. They consisted of information provision about water, such as through the playing of film telling story on water and global warming, playing in three water vehicles, the way to maintain the earth and discussion about environment by Ministry of Environmental Affairs. Apart from the Movement of Drinking Dew Water, some other activities like Water Olympiad and Movement of Loving Water were presented to children as next generation. These activities denoted long series of activity starting in February through June by involving children to have outing to dirty and polluted river like

Lychee:

Tempting Pink Fruit

TH PRO BL EM P H WIIT MW ROB LE YO R TEETH TEETH Y OU UR

ychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn) is an exotic fruit. In terms of its pink color, probably no one can help not tasting it because this fruit is very teasing. As other similar fruit, such as rambutan or ceroring, lychee also has translucent flesh. Its flesh tasting very sweet would tempt everyone seeing it. As soon as it is cut or peeled out, its sweet water will emanate. Compared to the two fruits mentioned above, perhaps this one is the sweetest. One day, you may need to present this nice fruit on your dining table. It is good to serve for dessert. When enjoying it after having meals, it would undeniably refresh the mouth from the first bite. Though it belongs to subtropical plant, it can also grow well in tropical region like Indonesia. In Bali, lychee is widely planted in backyards. During its season around May-June, it can easily be found at traditional markets, super markets and even at the street side. Many hawkers offer it at affordable price. B N (BTN/punia)

number of rituals in Bali entail ketupat (rice bag) as their content. It varies in accordance with the kind of oblation itself. Beyond for the necessity of the oblation, Ketupat is also widely used for consumption or delicious food. It is nice if mixed with assorted vegetable like bean sprout, string bean, water spinach and served with peanut sauce. This serving is better known as tipat cantok (ketupat served in ground sauce). Alternatively, it is also delicious if combined with clear soup or satay. Flavor of each ketupat is highly depending on the ingredient used to make it. The one made from young coconut (central left) leaf emanates almost no flavor; plastic sac gives no flavor at all; saribus palm and banana leaf gives stronger flavor. B N (BTN/punia)

Today, children have unlimited choices of games. They have been pampered by modern games, ranging from Turtle Ninja, Kung Fu, war games and many more. These can make them stay for hours in front of television or computer. Yet, behind this ease and enjoyment, they lose some values like creativity and do not know they have traditional games.

t is said so because there is a trend where children, both in urban and rural areas, begin to leave their traditional games. Many game options have been available in the form of CD, DVD, Internet and cartoon in television. Just by CD rental or buying the cheapest one and sitting down sweetly, they could enjoy the games they like best. If the games contain competition, they will compete against machine or some times against friends. Without realising, this may result in sight disorder where children should gaze the monitor and finally require thick glasses at an earlier age. Advancement is not always bad. However, parents should control them to what extent those games drive a good impact. Before the presence of these modern games, there were many traditional games. They are no less interesting than the modern ones. Many children even find it attractive and make them creative. Art parade of Bali Arts Festival 2009 has shown the treasure of traditional games. This event is just like a kaleidoscope highlighting a

variety of traditional games that ever existed within the life of Balinese children. To play one of the games, children should first search for its materials by themselves in the backyard or garden. Actually, it is here where the challenge of the games begins. Sometimes, they got injury because they are unable to use a knife properly. It did not matter as intriguing power has superseded it. Among the parade, there was a space intended for children world where they displayed some bizarre games like coconut shell clog, walking on stilts, pulling friend by the sheath of areca nut, pulling rope in-group and two-wheeled toy where its stick carried on shoulder. Meanwhile, the heavier one was gallivanting show by barong effigy. To play the coconut shell clog, for instance, they should keep their balance well. Standing on the tips of coconut shell is not easy. Moreover, they have to maintain the harmony of steps with the pulling of rope connected to each coconut shell. When the pull and steps can go harmoniously, the player can walk faster. Balance is also entailed in walking on stilts or tajog or egrang.

LOLEC Column

This game is even riskier because the position of pedal is higher from the ground. However, when a player can operate these stilts properly it is more challenging and pleasant. The higher the pedal the more challenging it is. Walking on stilts looks like a walking long-legged heron. It would be more interesting when passing through a muddy or knee-deep watery road. These games are often put into competition related to traditional sports. Another game requiring cooperation is pulling the sheath of areca nut. If the bean of areca nut is used by grandfathers or grandmothers for ingredient of chewing betel, the sheath of it is used

by their grandchildren to make ‘a pulling vehicle’. Yellow leaf signifies it has been mature. It is time for children to take it. They just need to leave out the ribs of leaf. The main rib is not cut as it will be used to pull. One child serves as passenger while another as driver who pulls the sheath. This role is exchanged so both can have an opportunity to enjoy the ‘comfort’ of this vehicle game. Children also put an interest in dancing barong gallivanting show. For them, it has been designed a smaller-sized barong. Therefore, before growing adult they have been introduced to art world of adult people. By performing gallivanting

Actually, there are more traditional games that once lived in midst of Balinese community. I hope that Bali Arts Festival will reveal them one by one so young generation can know their traditional heritages. Maybe, having watched or played modern games they could combine with the traditional ones they have. At least, the traditional can become an alternative, as all raw materials have been available at their surroundings. BTN (BTN/punia)

determining the phase of colour. It is important because if he is not careful it could not evoke optical impression,” he said when met at Griya Santrian Sanur, the venue of his exhibition that takes place from 5 June to 30 July.

Furthermore, the curator said that the fine arts of Askanadi perhaps constituted an art denial (negation) and death. However, it would be more accurate if they are read deeper as an affirmation towards life and central role of physical experience in all aspects of

life. The fine arts of Askanadi show to us that aesthetic experience, that often thought as completely mental phenomenon, is mediated by physical body; not body as a piece of space or function, but a body poses a series of vision and movement. B N (BTN/008)

he man of Japanese nationality who became the initiator of participation performance of Japan in the current Bali Arts Festival is named Mr. Ujie Tatsumori. Originally, he came to Bali as an ordinary tourist who was interested in the beauty of Bali. However, two great incidents engulfed Bali a few years ago have touched his conscience to do something for Bali. “When I heard there is a Bali Arts Festival (BAF), I made up my mind to participate and show to Japanese people in particular that Bali remains a safe and attractive

In pure fine arts, seeing denotes principal and real activity and continuously becomes a material of study both in visual and writing. In the mid of twentieth century, the artists in various hemispheres worked most intensively to explore this theme.They concentrated their attention on visual perception in such a way up to the entire branch of pure fine arts called “optic”.

rtists employ numerous effects and optical manipulations as well as experiments and visual phenomenon. Optical fine arts do not restrict the tasks in analyzing about activity of seeing only, but embraces almost the entire sensual tools into their concepts. It is this school deeply involved by young painter Askanadi. “In the process of performing art creativity, I do not too much take notice whether I belong to ‘optical’ or not. I am only busy in the process. Therefore, whether I am categorized into optical or not it depends on spectators to judge it,” said this graduate of ISI Yogyakarta. Fine arts displayed by Askanadi want to surprise the spectators, involve the spectators, grasp and greet the spectators in the endeavor to subjugate physical and psychic space in the framework of a new definition. “This solo exhibition offers an intensively aesthetical experience, not only through painting that showed off in front of public for the first time, but also through the strength of painting manipulating the public in a very specific way, “ said Wayan Sukra, the curator of Griya Santrian Gallery. In the current career path, the works of Askanadi only apply three

colors namely white, black and red. This limited palette presumably increases the physical impact on spectators. Those are the effects exceeding sensation, like the obvious movement of canvas, and optically oriented to produce sensational movement and even, emotional conception on spectators. “Personally, my works depart from spirituality (confidence). However, they do not attached to religious elements,” he said. In every single work, the painter who was born in Palembang (South Sumatra) looks to give deep meaning. Although sometimes he encounters some obstacles, strong drives of his soul makes him stand still. “Patience is really demanded in finishing every work. Largely his difficulty usually emerges in

destination to visit,” he said when interviewed before the art parade of BAF in Denpasar. Together with some 78 crews, the owner of Soei Production TV of Japan has participated for three times in similar event. “We have joined this event for three times, namely in 2004, 2007 and 2009,” he said. In order to maximize his performance in the BAF, his party has performed intensive exercise for three months. The theme highlighted in the performance of 50 minute-duration is Samurai and Ninja. Selection of this theme is by consideration that the story about samurai and ninja has been identical to Japan in the eyes of Indonesian community. However, he finds language as the main obstacle because in this presentation nearly all players are unable to speak Indonesian. On that account, the performance remains to use Japanese language. Nevertheless, his party feels happy because he can participate in gracing the BAF event. “Considering it is the third performance, so the awkward feeling has appeared so that we could provide the best,” said the man who has considered Bali as his second home. He also expected to make a collaboration featuring Bali and Japan in years to come. B N (BTN/008)

Torsten Thierbach:

My Experience with pak Ashrama It was August of 1999. As a 25year old student from Germany, I got the chance as a practical trainee at Bali Travel News. So I packed my baggage and started my journey.

he GM of the newspaper, Berata Ashrama invited me to live in his house for some weeks, together with his wonderful family. He said: “So you can experience the original Balinese life, how we live and feel.” and: what should I say: it was the best whatever happened to me. Berata Ashrama teaches me about the Balinese culture, the traditions and about the Hindu-religion too. Everything comes so close to me through his eyes. And I will never forget as he asked me for the first time to eat my meal by hand. It was a funny thing to him and my handling was a good reason to bring him up to laughing, that typical laughing what I never heard before: like a amused child, what has fun at the playground, so gently, so delighted and even so - full of benevolence. Some months later: I came back to the house of Berata Ashrama and his family. Meanwhile we got so very close to each other, that I felt like a member of his family. I felt to him like a son and whenever I talked to anybody about him, I

called him “my guest father”. And that’s exactly what I felt: he was like a father to me. One evening, a very special noise came up to my room in his house. Carefully I stepped down the stairs and there he was: Berata Ashrama was sitting in the middle of his house and he was mumbling words like “oooohm” over and over again. I asked him: “What are you doing?” He said: “I am meditating. If you do it everyday, you will have a healthy and long life”. I smiled and gone for sleep

again. Almost 9 years later, Berata Ashrama is dead. But I can still hear his smooth and intimate voice. I am proud that I had the chance to meet a wonderful man like him. I am thankful for the common time, for his spirit and minds, also about my own future in Bali. I will never forget that gentle man with the great heart. And even when my Berata Ashrama is dead now, in my heart he will live on, forever! B N Torsten Thierbach, Germany, June 17th

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

Jimbaran is in fact famous for its delicious seafood, particularly its typical grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s ‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste it to believe it.

Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. 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. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants. 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.

Jimbaran Beach This area is just south of Kedonganan beach and has a very beautiful white sand beach area and clear seawater that is suitable for

Ayung River Rafting The river Ayung is the longest and largest river in Bali, and along this river, white water rafting was first introduced in Bali. To experience raft-

for cleaning objects, for ceremonies and rituals, etc. The weather here is cool with light breezes.

Gunung Kawi Gunung Kawi means carving in the mountain. It is the monument of King Udayana and his son. When you arrive at the area, located in Tampaksiring, 40 kms from Denpasar, you will see the Vihara Buddhist monastery dating back to the ancient time (11th century). Goa Gajah Located at Bedulu Village, 26 kms from Denpasar there is the ruins of Balinese palace complex, complete with a huge cave for hermitage. The cave used to be a meditation site for Hindu and Buddhist monks, dating back to the 11th century. The frightening demon head was carved out of the cave’s rock face, while inside the cave a God statue with elephant head ‘Ganesha’ can be seen at west end and ‘Tri Lingga’ statue at the cave’s east end (the cave is ‘T’ shaped). Two bathing places at cave’s yard have six nymph statues, each holding a

ing on the river Ayung’s west side is amazing, for besides the enjoyment of challenging rapids, the panorama of this beautiful, intact nature area is highlighted by the appearance of wild animals along the rafting route such as big bats, black monkeys, and more.

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, travel 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 is 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/*)

WHERE TO GO . . . JEMBRANA Bull-racing Center

Jembrana Regency

The regency is thought to have been established in the early 1400s, although civil war broke out and the regency became part of the Badung regency. In the 17th century, sparsely populated Jembrana was not of much interest to the other royal Balinese kingdoms and for a time it was ruled over by a prince from Sulawesi. Jembrana was one of the first kingdoms to surrender to the invading Dutch in the 1800s. Negara Town - A small town set along the main road between Denpasar and Gilimanuk. Negara itself does not have many tourist sites although it is famous for the bull races, held every year in October.

C12-193/481.1/06/B.PEM/II/2008

Domesticated water buffalo races and horse races attract a number of tourists as well as many Balinese. Jegog - the giant bamboo gamelan (orchestra) - is typical of Jembrana and is seldom heard outside the regency. West Bali National Park - This Park is home to the rare Java Deer, the rarer Bali Starling and many other animals such as the Boss Javanicus, or wild bull. Medewi Beach - Famous for surfing, the long left handers are best in the morning before the wind gets up. The beach itself is not fantastic. Tourist accommodation ranges from guesthouses to smarter hotels with pools.

Gilimanuk - Bali’s most western town is the ferrying point for people wishing to cross to Java. The tranquil bay is good for water sports and it is the closest place to stay if you wish to visit West Bali National Park. Cekik - A village just south of Gilimanuk, with prehistoric remains (Circa 1000BC). The headquarters of the National Park and visitors centre are located here. Palasari Dam - The dam is good for water sports and the nearby village of Palasari is one of the few Catholic communities in Bali. The church is quite distinctive. Candikusuma Beach - Large wide beach with views to Java. It is very popular with the local community at weekends and holidays. Baluk Rening Beach - This beach

comes alive in August when the annual Jukung races take place. A western facing beach with good sunset views. Perancak - A small village in which Bali’s renowned Buffalo racing is performed for tourists. A reptile park and a riverside temple are other Perancak sites. Delod Berawah Beach - A popular beach with the occasional bull and horse race. Rambut Siwi - One of Bali’s major cliff-top temples and the largest in west Bali. It was built in the 1500s by the same priest that built both the Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples. The sunset from this vantage point is outstanding.
