Jakarta Expat· 1 August - 14 August 2012

Dear Readers, The holy month of Ramadhan is upon us and this time of year is not only about refraining from food and drink during the hours of the day, it is also about abstaining from bad temperament and being kind to others. If you’ve ever completed a day of fasting, you’ll know that the breaking of the fast is a joyous occasion where the sigh of relief is shared regardless of social class, which unfortunately still exists on a large scale here in Indonesia. During this time you can witness drivers and their bosses, managers and office boys, pembantus and their juragans sharing a rare moment. Make no mistake, fasting is no easy feat especially when doing so in the heat of the tropics. Some people accomplish this in the most difficult of circumstances. Last year while climbing up Gunung Parang in West Java, we were accompanied by an older guide who was fasting and wearing only flip flops on his feet. He hiked up the steep, rocky, 900 metre hill with his hands behind his back and not a drop of sweat fell from his face as he often stopped and waited patiently for us to catch up. It really blew the rest of us away as we gasped and reached out for water quite frequently in the morning heat.

In this sizzling issue which we’ve themed “Summertime”, we have some great reads for you. Ana Gaby joins us with a piece about the Expat Exodus and how to survive the summer in Jakarta. Jason Hue is back with a hardhitting story of the hot season – forest fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan which are a huge problem to this country and its neighbouring country’s climates, not to mention its inhabitants; the orangutan. Ed Caffin also returns in an uplifting travel article about the development of Aceh and the positive changes which can be seen since the devastating tsunami hit this region in 2004. He urges you to visit this beautiful part of Sumatra to aid in its growth and progress. We hope you enjoy this issue and if you’ve just returned back from holidays, welcome home and happy reading! 

uring his sea career he made several voyages in Indonesian waters, including trading journeys in the Vidar from Singapore to Kalimantan/Borneo, where he spent some time at Berau in East Kalimantan.

happy with Conrad raking up his story. In his In Search of Conrad (1991), Gavin Young describes how he tracks down Williams’ grave in a cemetery in Singapore threatened with demolition, from where Williams’ last living son has now rescued his father’s remains.

This became the setting for several classic novels and stories, including his first two novels, Almayer’s Folly (1895) and An Outcast of the Islands (1896), both based on real people and events. Almayer is a Dutch trader whose dream of leaving his remote jungle outpost to take his daughter triumphantly to Europe is thwarted by her eloping with a Balinese prince. Willems, the “Outcast”, is the ultimate troppohappy loser, whose passion for the native girl Aissa leads him to betray Almayer by “letting the Arabs into the river.” Carol Reed made a powerful movie of this tale in 1952. I saw it as a boy, and it got me “drunk on Conrad.” Berau became “Patusan” in Lord Jim (1900), the Hamlet of the English novel. And like Hamlet, Lord Jim is the story of a young man whose over-sensitivity and imagination mesmerizes him from taking decisive action at critical moments. As first mate on the Patna, he abandons a shipload of pilgrims in the Red Sea, is tried, cashiered, and drifts east from port to port to try and escape the stigma of cowardice. He finally redeems himself in the jungles of Kalimantan, but has to accept death because of a promise made to the Bugis chief Doramin, whose own son has been betrayed and killed by “Gentleman” Brown and his gang. The first part of the book is based on fact. The real-life counterpart of Jim, Austine Williams, settled down and married in Singapore after the scandal. Apparently his friends in Singapore were not

Lord Jim was made into an epic movie in 1965 with a stellar cast, including Peter O’Toole, fresh from playing Lawrence of Arabia, as Jim, Jack Hawkins as Captain Marlow, Eli Wallach and James Mason as the baddies, and the bosomy Israeli actress Dahlia Lavi as the native girl Jewel. It’s enjoyable, if overlong, and was filmed in Cambodia, around the iconic temples of Angkor Wat. Just like Apocalypse Now, which was itself based, unacknowledged, on Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. In the autobiographical story Youth (1898), Conrad romanticizes his first landfall in the East, setting it in Java, although it was actually Muntok in Bangka. “…suddenly a puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odors of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out of the still night--the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.” I’m sure that this sensation can still be experienced all over the islands, but for many it’s more likely to be the smell of petrol and kretek cigarettes on arrival at Sukarno-Hatta. Another story, Freya of the Seven Isles (1912), in which Freya’s suitor loses his beloved ship to an unpleasant Dutch rival, is so heartbreaking as to be almost unreadable. Conrad is never a barrel of laughs and never an easy read. The reaction of

Sekolah Cita Buana High Schoolers, on studying Heart of Darkness, was “the horror, the horror!” Probably the only story which can be satisfactorily read with school children is The Lagoon (1897). Its slow dreamlike trip up a Kalimantan river contains a story within a story of melodramatic passion and violent betrayal, then fulfills the symmetry by returning to the lagoon, ending as the Malay protagonist “…looked beyond the great light of a cloudless day into the darkness of a world of illusions.” Conrad’s tendency to personalize the mood of the river and the jungle, simultaneously indifferent and threatening, was mercilessly parodied by Max Beerbohm in A Christmas Garland (1912). Here is a sample. “Down below, by force of habit, the lush herbage went through the farce of growth – that farce old and screaming, whose trite end is decomposition. Within the hut the form of the white man…was covered with a mosquito net which was illusory like everything else, only more so.” (1897) is longer than The Lagoon, and expands its themes. Surely this is the Conrad story now most suitable for filming. Interestingly, here is the opinion of colonial Java that Conrad puts into the mouth of the Bugis chieftain Karain. “Is there anything good in that country? The paths run straight and hard and dusty. Stone campongs, full of white faces, are surrounded by fertile fields, but every man you meet is a slave. The rulers live under the edge of a foreign sword.” Finally we come to The Rescue (1920), which, like Almayer and Outcast, features the quixotic buccaneering “Raja Laut”, Captain Tom Lingard, who was also based on a real character. Another heartrending Conrad tragedy. Lingard chooses to rescue the unpleasant husband of a sophisticated English lady, Mrs Travers, with whom he falls in love, and by doing so betrays his Malay friends, Hassim and his warrior sister Immada, who had saved his life years before. Here we have Mrs Travers and Immada looking at each other, “…the beginning and the end, the flower and the leaf, the phrase and the cry.” Which one would you choose? 

Travel

akarta’s residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to weekends away. There are beaches, nature, indigenous tribes, volcanoes and history all pretty close. It must be great to wake up one morning and decide yep, I really need a beach and decide to head off to Anyer or Carita on the west coast of Banten province. Feeling the fine sand between your toes, watching the sunset is undoubtedly one of the perks of living in South East Asia. What makes those fishing villages more special is knowing that just on the horizon looms the mean and moody Krakatau. For the fitter there is a trip to the Baduy homelands in Labak in the foothills of Gunung Halimun. They may no longer be the isolated tribe they were even a decade ago. Increasing numbers of visitors have come in and left their mark on the Baduy people with increasing signs of modernization in the more accessible villages.

West Java’s Beauty at Bay

They are still far from becoming a human zoo though. It is possible, with a guide, to trek to some of the villages and witness a lifestyle clinging to its old ways. Barefoot youths scamper up and down steep slopes with the agility and confidence of a mountain goat bearing anything up to a dozen durians across their shoulder.

Banten Province, home to Surkano Hatta Airport, is strategically located between Jakarta and the neighbouring island of Sumatra. The infrastructure linking the two though struggles to cope. News of delays at the port of Merak on the Sunda Straits are a regular occurrence. The toll road that feeds traffic to the second most populated island in the country is filled with buses and lorries, turning it into a mad dash for the next exit. Get off that artery and things get much worse. The road from Cilegon south to the beaches of Anyer and Carita suffers from the heavy goods vehicles that serve the factories in the area. Many other ‘main roads’ are the width of a Jakartan gang and at weekends they tend to fill up quickly as markets spill on the road and cars parked reduce the flow to a single lane. Against that backdrop it is little wonder Jakartans look elsewhere for their rest and relaxation. Since the deregulation of the air industry in Indonesia and the introduction of budget airlines thankfully those seeking to get out of the city are being faced with more and more options. Bali of course is an obvious choice. Two hours out from the airport and you can be driving through photogenic sawah. Two hours outside of Jakarta and you are still stuck behind some truck belching noxious black fumes.

For the most part they carry on with their lives taking little interest in the visitors who come, take a few photographs, buy the obligatory t-shirt before leaving though increasingly more are opting to stay the night in one of the rustic, austere villages that allow guests.

Budget airlines are bringing people closer to the region as well. Direct flights connect to destinations like Phuket’s beaches, Penang’s history, Kota Kinabalu’s mountain and even Ho Chi Minh City.

Birdwatchers from around the world flock to Pulau Dua which is home to several spectacular species. Although

It’s not just expats of course. Indonesians are increasingly looking at trips abroad and they are not all interested in

the best time to visit is March/April time when large numbers of migratory birds stop off for a rest on their long journeys there is enough to keep any moderate twitcher interested for several early morning hours. Of course Pulau Dua with its numerous feathered creatures, civet cats and various reptiles is no match for Ujong Kulon which boasts the Java Rhinoceros among its residents. Not many of them of course and the chances are they won’t show that easy, but the merest chance of seeing one ensures a steady trickle of visitors to the remote peninsula.

shopping malls and buying fridge magnets. And why not? For all its faults, Jakarta’s airport works pretty well and why get stuck in a traffic jam for several hours just to go a couple of hundred miles when, in the same time, you could be showered and refreshed in another country enjoying your downtime. There are large billboards that exhort people to visit Banten and its attractions and there is easily enough there to keep people busy for several days. Unfortunately the infrastructure, or lack of, makes many people think twice and that’s a shame. 

Yep, plenty of things to see and do right on Jakarta’s doorstep. The problem is that while Indonesia’s economy has been chugging along very nicely thank you, investment in infrastructure has failed to keep pace. Foreign investors have long complained about the bottlenecks at the ports and airports. And if Jakarta, the capital city, has struggled to cope then what price does the rest of the country pay?

Small and Bigger Changes: Aceh is Moving Forward By: Ed Caffin

“T

ourism has come back to Aceh. That is very good for us”, says Rizki*, as he pours us a morning coffee. Together with his brother Farid he runs a small homestay in Lhoknga, a quiet beach town not far from Banda Aceh. “In the high season it gets quite busy with tourists now. The people here are starting to profit. So are we.” I have known Rizki and his family for years and met them many times over the last few years. But this time it is different. For the first time, I have come to Aceh as a tourist.

A New Aceh As I gaze down the street, two tourists race by on a motorbike, past signboards of other homestays, turning left at a sign in English directing surfers to the beach. Veiled Acehnese women do their morning shopping in the nearby village supermarket as a truck unloads dozens of fresh water tanks. It is hard to imagine that only a few years ago, all there was to see here was reminiscent of only one thing: the tsunami-disaster of 2004. Now, most ruins have been transformed into new houses, and those desolated are overgrown by plants. A first-timer to the town of Lhoknga, which had completely vanished after the tsunami won’t notice anything of what took place here seven years ago. The first time I came to Aceh was only five weeks after the tsunami. I was volunteering for a small Dutch organization aiming to help in reconstruction work. The situation in Banda Aceh was chaotic as the city was teeming with traumatized citizens, army and foreign aid workers. We found a small village in the Lhoknga area, and started to help reconstruct its village centre. The villagers all lived in a refugee camp nearby. They were traumatized but tried to hold on to life the best they could. Rizki and his family, who are from a neighbouring village, had all survived the disaster. As surrounding hills protected their village, their house was also spared from the waves.

Healing Wounds Over the years, I came back to Aceh regularly and noticed the small and bigger changes. As their wounds slowly started to heal, people started to look at the future again. Every time, more houses had been built, more businesses had opened and the roads were busier. The biggest milestone of course, was the peace-agreement that was signed in 2005 between the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Indonesian government, putting an end to almost 30 years of conflict.

But although foreign aid and the peace process have done a lot of good for the Acehnese, there are also tensions. For example, over the years international donors have donated a lot of money and resources. But many of them donated to tsunami victims specifically, which has created a tension between tsunami victims, conflict victims and others. A huge responsibility therefore rests on the shoulders of former GAM-leaders, whose political party, Partai Aceh, won gubernatorial elections last April. Zaini Abdullah, chief negotiator for GAM when it signed the peace treaty with the Indonesian government, won the election. Abdullah beat  Lampuuk Beach Near Lhoknga by Ed Caffin Irwandi Yusuf, who was denied a second term as governor of Aceh. For ruling Partai Aceh, the biggest challenge •isDino how car spotted by Dimas outside of Jakarta to bring more prosperity to the people in Aceh, who count among the poorest in Indonesia even though the province is very rich in natural resources. When I ask Rizki about politics, he says he is not too much involved in that. He voted again this year, but all he really hopes for is that peace and stability will prevail. Over all those years, he has had his share of hard times, but life looks a lot brighter now for Rizki. He studies hard and whenever there are tourists around, he works in the family homestay. He has his own business on the side, with which he earns the extra money he needs to pay his studies. When he graduates, he wants to go to Australia to get a Masters degree. Growing tourism can help that dream materialize. When tourists started to come back to Lhoknga a few years ago, Rizki and Farid decided to jump on the train. They were able to build their homestay with the money they had earned in the years after the tsunami, when they both worked for foreign NGOs. And everything seems to work out fine: Lhoknga is slowly regaining its reputation as a popular beach and surf town and their homestay is strategically located near the beach. Although Sharia-law prohibits the selling of alcohol and dictates women to dress appropriately, Lhoknga surely is a great tourist destination, with Rizki as its most enthusiastic ambassador. For him, there is no doubt that Aceh is moving forward again. And so is he. He works hard to support his family and make his dream of studying abroad come true. There are challenges ahead, but Aceh has come a long way. For people like Rizki and his family, tourism can be part of the solution. So please visit this beautiful province and spread the word.  * In the interest of privacy, names have been changed

Tips

Surviving Summer:

How to enjoy being “home” without going “home” By Ana Gaby Summer, the time of the year where the biggest event in the expat community takes place: the Expat Exodus. Most everybody takes advantage of the school holidays to repatriate at least for a few weeks and enjoy quality family time, real barbecue grilled burgers, fresh (vs. frozen) berries, good root beer, and very possibly some major shopping. Family gatherings that have been in the making for months are finally taking place and the kids get to see their cousins and fight over the Ipad instead of the tricycles like they did in the olden days. The familiar scents and flavours of home slowly start to fill the bellies, hearts and souls of the merry visitors going back to their original abode. Alas, we are stuck home. We are stuck home but the routines of our daily lives that make our home a home seem to have

evaporated as some of our friends have left for the summer or permanently, schools are off for the holidays and the expat associations and their activities seem to have come to a halt. The streets seem deserted (well, not really, we are still in Jakarta), in the malls only an occasional expat makes an appearance. Most of the expats still in Jakarta are either single or temporarily off-family-duty as mums, babies, kids, tweens and teens have evacuated the Big Durian for the summer. In an attempt to “survive” the exodus here are some tips to make the time spent home an enjoyable one and make the best out of this cruel, cruel summer (yes, I know, I just had to write it down since it’s been in my mind all week). 

Jakarta Expat· 1 August - 14 August 2012

Meet the Expat

Kenneth, where do you come from? The land Down Under, Australia! How long have you been living in Jakarta, and what is it you do here? I have been living in Jakarta for about 4 years since I assumed the position of Country General Manager for The Ascott Limited in Indonesia. What made you decide to pursue a career in the hospitality industry? I discovered my passion for hospitality while on a backpacking trip to Greece in the ‘80s. A brief work stint in a Grecian hotel convinced me, the then fresh engineering graduate, to go back to my hometown in Australia to take up a course in hotel management. I subsequently became a management trainee at an international hotel chain and worked in a number of independent and chain luxury hotels in Australia and Asia.

Both hotels and serviced residences offer guests accommodation options. A major difference between the two is that serviced residences cater predominantly to longer-stay guests whose stays can range from months to years, while hotels generally accommodate shorter daily stays. With longer stays, it becomes even more imperative that we provide an environment where guests can feel comfortable and at home in for their entire length of stay. Therefore, at Ascott, we offer spacious and fully-furbished apartments which range from studios, four-bedroom to penthouse units for our residents. And because serviced residences cater mainly to guests on extended stay, there is lower guest turnover. Hence, staff at our properties know our residents by name and are familiar

Meet

Kenneth Rogers. The Aussie globetrotter who discovered his passion for hospitality while backpacking through Greece.

And what attracted you to the industry? I find the hospitality industry exciting because you get to meet and interact with people from all walks of life. Ascott Jakarta was recently named ‘Leading Serviced Apartment and Suite’ at the Indonesia Travel and Tourism Awards. What makes Ascott successful and different from the competition? At Ascott, our serviced residences combine prime location, space, comfort and privacy with excellent amenities and personalised services. But what truly differentiates us is our strong customer-centric approach which has reinforced our brand reputation over the years. Ascott pioneered the international-class serviced residence concept in Asia Pacific in 1984. We were also the first to open a serviced residence in Indonesia, Ascott Jakarta, in 1995. Over the years, we remain focused on creating memorable experiences for our residents through our unique LIFE approach to service excellence - providing a Local touch; respecting our guest’s Individuality; offering the Feeling of home; and Exceeding expectations. Beyond providing an accommodation, our staff go the extra mile to make residents feel right at home. For instance, our staff teach Bahasa Indonesia to help residents understand and appreciate the local culture. We also take residents on tours of the local markets to introduce them to the Indonesian lifestyle. Our guests appreciate this warm hospitality and many of them have chosen Ascott as their preferred home away from home year after year. We are thankful for their continuous support and are constantly looking into the upgrading of our properties and services to create the best staying experience for our guests. For example, we have just embarked on a multimillion dollar refurbishment of Ascott Jakarta and expect to unveil the fully-refurbished property by late 2013. Are there any major difference between managing hotels and serviced residences?

with their needs. Furthermore, we organise residents’ programmes which help guests who are new to the country or city assimilate quickly into their new environment and make new friends with fellow residents. So where have you lived before Jakarta? Apparently you’ve moved around quite a bit. I am sort of a globetrotter who has lived in many countries! Besides my home country of Australia, I have lived and worked in Greece, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and now Indonesia. Any plans to move on from Jakarta, or have you settled here? My family and I really enjoy living and working here. I have no plans to relocate at the moment. When you’re not busy working, how do you like to spend your free time? Are there any places or activities you would recommend for those who are new to the city? I like golf, although I am not very good at it yet! I like to visit the golf courses in South Jakarta for some practice when possible. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family and visiting the different parts of Jakarta. There is actually a lot to see and do in Jakarta. For example, Taman Mini, Ancol and Thousand islands are great for families. There are also great dining and shopping experiences to be enjoyed in Central Jakarta such as at Grand Indonesia, Sarinah Department Store and Plaza Indonesia. Not forgetting the Kemang area in South Jakarta which is surrounded by nice restaurants and cafes. And how are you planning on spending your summer, here in Jakarta or abroad? I’m staying put in Jakarta in preparation for the opening of our first Citadines Apart’hotel in Indonesia, Citadines Rasuna Jakarta, later this year! Final question…If you weren’t working in the hospitality industry, what do you think you’d be doing? I’d probably be a psychologist so I can get greater insights into the human mind! 

Faces of Jakarta

The Mobile Broom Shop

Rodsidin Words and photos by David Metcalf

odsidin is a very happy man. He has a cheerful nature and takes great delight in walking the streets of Kelontong, near Chinatown selling a huge variety of colourful items including mops, brooms, children’s toys, plastic buckets, and other practical household items. He has been doing this job for twenty years now. He is 45 years old and always seems to carry a big smile on his face as he chats to passersby and works his way around the congested neighbourhood. Robsidin shares a time however, when he was not so happy. The 1998 infamous riots and turmoil on the streets of Jakarta was a time of tension and fear for him. There was a lot of blood letting that took place in this area. Rodsidin stated, “This was a time of much mistrust and it was very sad to see people turn on each other for no particular reason.” Times are much better now and people seem to be more happy and prosperous in general. Rodsidin looks pensive, as one never forgets. Despite Rodsidin’s great outlook on

life, it is a daily struggle to make ends meet. He has three mouths to feed. His children aged six, 14 and 18 years cost a lot of money to support and his wife has to work from 5 am to 6 pm seven days a week making tempeh (fermented soybeans) to supplement their income. She lives in Permelung (near Cirebon) with the children whilst Rodsidin works in Jakarta, as the money is better and there is a more reliable source of income. He returns to visit his wife and kids when he has saved up enough to make the journey and is looking forward to Idul Fitri when he will return home for a few days. Staying healthy is critical so Rodsidin relies heavily on the Jamu Lady who provides him with preventative medicines every day he works. The Mobile Broom Shop makes a very colourful sight as Rodsidin hauls it around the streets of Chinatown, always with a smile and love of life.. 

The Heat

By Jason Hue

ring out the bikinis and heat up the barbeque grills- it’s that time of the year. Throughout summer, our buddies in the U.S. throw BBQ parties, while our pals in Europe may have made plans to work on their tan at the beach. Unfortunately our teman-teman in Indonesia deal with a different kind of summer experience; forest fires and its negative effects. In this part of the world, the dry season is synonymous with intense forest fires, especially on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan and has become an annual problem for the nation. Forest fires can be caused by either human greed or forces of nature. Many large Indonesian companies resort to fire as a cheap and fast method of land clearing. What initially started as a small fire to clear an area often escalates into uncontrollable disasters as the dry land and vegetation causes the fires to spread quickly. Increased felling of tress by timber companies also contribute to the fires as logged forests are more susceptible to fire than unlogged forest, due to debris left on the ground after logging. Furthermore, logging opens up the canopy, allowing more sunlight to enter; drying up the forest floor in the process. Fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat to survive. In forests, the fuel is provided by trees and vegetation; oxygen is all around us in the air and the scorching summer heat provides the final ingredient to intensify forest fires.

Riau, a province in Central Sumatra often plays host to the highest number of fires. In June, 44 of the 80 hotspots in Sumatra were in Riau. The drought in Riau is expected to last until September. Until then, temperatures are expected to remain high as it is a time when hotspots sparked by forest and peat fires will start to appear in increasing numbers. While forest fires may remain a domestic affair, the haze generated from these fires is not. Strong winds carry the haze into Singaporean and Malaysian airspace quite frequently, leading to the closure of schools and diversion of flights, if the situation warrants. Jakartans are not spared either, my advice would be to drink lots of water and invest in a SWAT-team gas mask. Experts suggest that fires raging in Sumatran forests have killed a third of the rare Sumatran orangutans living there, not to mention the tigers and sun bears. “It is no longer several years away, but just a few months or even weeks before this iconic creature disappears,” says Ian Singleton, conservation director of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme. When burnt, trees and other vegetation, which in fact plays a role in balancing carbon in the atmosphere, contributes significantly to the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere; hence the issue of global warming. Indonesia is currently the 3rd largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world. Reports

indicate that Indonesia has lost umpteen hectares of forest every year for the last ten years due to agricultural expansion, illegal logging and forest fires. Governments of neighbouring countries and from nations as far as the UK and Norway have often initiated discussions to convince President SBY’s ruling party to enforce stricter laws and keep the trees standing. Indonesia has a long history of weak and unenforced laws with regards to illegal land clearing by palm oil, mining or timber companies. The cooperation between the ministry of forestry, agriculture and the legal system to tackle the problem must be improved. Firstly, the use of fire for land clearing which involves large areas, especially during the dry season, must be prohibited and properly enforced. The establishment of more powerful legislation to tackle forest fires is needed. Existing laws are not adequate to stop and punish companies or people who cause forest fires. To complicate matters, Indonesia has three contradictory laws pertaining to forest management — the 2004 Law on Regional Governance, the 2004 Law on Fiscal Balance and the 1999 Law on Forestry. In order to anticipate and reduce the risk of forest fires, the government should invest in the latest satellite imaging technology that can quickly supply information on land and vegetation condition changes, which could provide real time information on forest-fire risk levels.

NGOs such as WWF-Indonesia plays its part through awareness campaigns on fire prevention and training on fire suppression to the local communities who are also briefed on the reporting mechanism in the event of a fire. It saddens me that a half-century ago, more than three quarters of Indonesia was blanketed in plush tropical rain forest. But half of those trees have been cleared in the rush to supply the world with pulp, coal, paper, palm oil and other commodities. With the possibility of prolonged dry seasons and climate change in the future, the threat of forest fires will also become more serious. It is certainly not an easy task, but effective measures have to be taken immediately. We hope the various stakeholders can work together to keep the forests and the wildlife safe. It’s the least we can do for the orangutans; they are mankind’s closest animal relative after all. 

Pamper

feature continuously trickles keeping you calm and relaxed. A tranquil and immaculate tropical garden is set at the back of the spa for guests to look out onto when having treatments and works wonders for the mind and soul.

By Angela Richardson

adies, how often do you get to pamper yourselves with a massage or manicure and come away feeling truly unwound? I sometimes find that when I do go to a spa and have a treatment, I come away feeling unsatisfied at the lack of attention I was given in relation to how much I had to fork out in the end. My latest spa experience however, was a delightful change from the norm and a truly relaxing one at Bale-Bale Cikajang in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. This spa feels traditional in its interior and its methods and is marketed as ‘Your Private Sanctuary’, partly because no men are allowed in the premises. When you enter this retreat, the stresses of the city seem to fade away into its naturally decorated wood interiors with gorgeous batik draped everywhere and its rain curtain water

The prices are extremely reasonable compared to other spas in the city of the same calibre. A traditional Creambath will only set you back Rp.75,000 and an hour Full Body Massage only Rp.125,000. I experienced a Totok Wajah, which is a traditional face, head, neck and shoulders massage followed by a mask made of Bengkuang (yam) and fresh strawberries. My therapist worked all the tension out of my head and face, and the mask left my skin feeling soft and rejuvenated, not to mention smelling edible. After this I was treated to a hair wash and blow, where full attention was given to me and there was no feeling of being rushed. A popular treatment at Bale-Bale Cikajang is the Traditional Lulur or Body Scrub, which has been used by Javanese princesses for centuries to keep their skin “kuning langsat” (roughly translates into “a pleasing light yellow”), and this involves an avocado, green tea or strawberry ginseng milk which softens and moisturizes your skin from top to toe. Sugar waxing and threading is also available here at very competitive prices and a VIP room for groups of four is available should you be looking for an even more private experience with close friends. And it was friends that put this spa together, including the popular actress Rianti Cartwright, a half British beauty, who is the main face behind this venture. A spa-lover herself, she gathered four of her friends to open shop in the convenient location of Jl. Cikajang and its positioning, as well as her fame, has proven to be a success at its young age of six months. Over a freshly

brewed jamu (traditional herbal remedy) she tells me, “Our main focus is to provide our customers with an authentically Indonesian, affordable and satisfying spa experience that will keep them coming back for more. Being an actress has helped me promote my business a little - I am guilty of bombarding my Twitter and other social media accounts with information about the spa on a daily basis. I’m a bit ashamed of it, but it has brought in a few customers!” A cosy café named ‘Frangipani’ (due to the fragrant tree on its doorstep) will open soon providing Salads, Sandwiches, Granola and even an English Breakfast to its hungry customers. Rianti tells me, “We wanted to open a café because we felt sorry for all the guys that would drop their wives and girlfriends off and wait outside for hours for them!” These guys will now be able to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat while browsing the web – just no peeking please gents! 

social network

By Juan G. Leysner

ormally I write about mobile aps and website applications that can benefit your business or which you can use just for fun, but this time I would like to bring under your attention to Social networking. Social networking is a recent invention that has the Internet still at the edge of its seat due to its popularity. This is mostly because it really is for the people. Bringing every kind of social group together in one place and letting them interact. So why is it so popular?

Low Costs

Definitely, it’s cheaper to use online social networking for you business because most of it is usually free. I must say that the business functions are underestimated by many. In a social networking site, you can scout potential customers and target markets with just a few clicks and keystrokes, adding a boost to your usual advertisements and promotional strategies. It lets you learn about their likes and dislikes, which is tremendous. If you want to fine-tune your business, then this is the way to go, whether on a budget or not.

Builds Credibility

You definitely can gain the customers’ confidence if you can connect to them on a professional level. Despite having to do a bit of work, it definitely pays off as you can be tapped for an offer if someone catches wind of your products or services.

Connections

You are friends with people who have other friends, and so on. There is potential in such a common situation. By using a social networking site, you can do what you can and get connected with these people to form a web of connections that can give you leverage if you play your cards right. As long as you give as well as you receive, then they will most likely stick with you. These connections are definitely valuable in the long run. There are some small disadvantages

such as scams and harassment and it can be time consuming also.

How to Use Social Media to Promote Your Business

People are online talking about your company as you read this, whether you like or not. If you don’t engage in the conversation, you risk losing your customers. Gone are the days when having a highly ranked website was enough to make waves and attract new businesses. Just like people, company brands now need to communicate, to “network” and to reach out beyond their normal comfort zone. This shift means moving from the two dimensional aspect of a static website, to the three dimensional realm of engagement and interaction. It starts by identifying the type of social media sites that best reach your target audience... 1. There is more out there than Facebook For business to consumer brands, it can begin with a presence on Facebook or Pinterest. For business to business brands, LinkedIn can provide fertile ground. For sole entepreneurs, authors, speakers and life coaches, developing a following on Twitter or Quora can prove effective. For blue collar trades, a YouTube channel can showcase your knowhow and expertise. Find the site (or sites) that best match up with your customer base and focus your efforts there first. Spreading yourself too thin can prove inefficient and actually weaken your brand image. Go deeper with fewer sites to create real traction with your customers. Once you have a firm command of that media, then feel free to move on.

What is Pinterest? www.pinterest.com

Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

Stereomood.com

Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it. The most important thing is to have each question page become the best possible resource for someone who wants to know about the question. 2. Go for quality not quantity Sending out hundreds of random posts and tweets may seem proactive, but the point of social media is to be social - not profuse. Be generous in recognition and appreciation for those taking the time to interact. Your business brand is not just your name and logo -- it’s the actions you take, the words you speak and the tone you set that determines how people feel about your company. Give them a reason to share by creating an inviting and rewarding experience.

3. Finding the right balance Extending your business brand from your home page into the social media mainstream can seem overwhelming. By identifying the sites that best match up with your core customers, and creating a clear, consistent presence, you can glean new customers, as well as new insights and feedback about your products and services. Slow and steady wins this race, so make the commitment to leave “home” and connect in new and potentially rewarding ways.

How big is the market?

How many users are on facebook or better how many users does Indonesia have as of today? As the numbers grow everyday it is hard to say where we stand at this moment of time but worldwide Indonesia ranks 4th with 45 million users under India with 50 million users, Brazil with 52 million users and America as the big number one with 150 million. LinkedIn in Indonesia does not have as many users as Facebook but according to the statistics of LinkedIn the country with the strongest growth in 2011 was Indonesia with a staggering 110% growth followed by Turkey with 97%. LinkedIn is one of the fastest growing social networks in Indonesia reaching 1 million users whereas the USA has over 58 million. So get in there and get social. 

Right Place, Right Time

by Eamonn Sadler

n 1987 I bought my dream car. No it wasn’t a Ferrari or a Porsche, it was a five-year-old Mark II 2.8 litre fuel injected Ford Granada Ghia. It was my dream car because prior to that I had been driving a Datsun 260Z sports car which, although I loved it, had given me nothing but trouble and a bad back. Hence my dream car had become the complete antithesis of the Japanese sports car, the American Executive saloon. It was so comfortable compared to the Datsun that, in 1988, my friend Colin and I decided to take it on a camping tour around Germany. Early one evening during our trip, on the outskirts of Cologne, a loud metallic grating noise started coming from somewhere near the front offside wheel. I pulled over and we climbed out cursing to see what was wrong. Luckily Colin was a qualified mechanic, so after a lengthy inspection he started explaining the situation to me in what sounded to me like Greek. About 30 minutes

into his technical analysis I put my hand over his mouth and asked him to simply tell me how bad it was. He said it was really bad, something to do with an important bit of the car behind the noisy wheel that had broken. Just down the road I saw a sign for a campsite, so I nursed the limping Granada into the large field and we put up our tent before heading to the clubhouse to consider our plight. After three or four large beers and no sensible ideas from either of us, Colin decided to my surprise that he could speak German. With completely misplaced confidence he approached a friendly looking young couple at the bar and said in a loud voice, “Excuzen Sie mir bitte, mein auto ist kaput.” The girl spat beer all over her boyfriend as she burst out laughing, and as he wiped the beer slowly from the front of his shirt he said dryly, “Sorry about zat. It’s chust zat you Eenglish sound zoooooo fanny ven you try to spik Cherman.” I was about to point out the irony of his statement when we suddenly became very

good friends. “I tell you vot”, he said before I could speak, “I buy you guys a beer and ve talk about your ‘kaput auto’ ya?” A couple of hours later we were sitting outside Klaus and Brigette’s tent playing a very complicated board game and being entertained by their black labrador which, they were very proud to tell us, understood five languages. Klaus went on to prove it by telling the dog to beg, sit, lie down and roll over in Italian, German, Spanish, French and English, and the dog dutifully obeyed every time. We crawled off to our tent at about 3am after a small alcohol fuelled disagreement, but with a promise that they would take us to see a friend of theirs who could help with the car in the morning. To be honest I wasn’t actually expecting them to show up the following morning after our argument, but as it turned out they weren’t quite as upset about their country losing two world wars and one World Cup to the English as I thought they had been, so at about ten o’clock we awoke to the sound of

Last Edition's Winner

Brigette’s hand-painted Volkswagen Beetle ticking over noisily outside our tent. We dressed quickly, squeezed into the back seat and, with Brigette at the wheel, headed off to see their friend. What we found when we got there amazed us. It turned out that the friend, Markus, owned a car scrap yard, and there were at least 20 crashed and scrapped Ford Granadas like mine lying around among many other makes and models. Apparently all Ford Granadas sold in the UK since 1977 had been built in Cologne, where mine had just happened to break down, and Markus made his living by cannibalising scrap cars for spare parts. An hour later Colin finished fitting a perfectly good second hand universal joint to my Granada and we were on our way. Markus had refused to accept any money, and, while Colin was working, Klaus and Brigette had bid us farewell and disappeared in the general direction of France never to be seen again. What good people. If you’re going to break down, do it in the right place (but don’t mention the war). 
