Bali housekeeper found dead upon employers’ return from holiday The body of a 61-year-old Javanese domestic worker was discovered in the North Denpasar home of her employer when the family returned from a short holiday on Wednesday night.
“The witness tried to bang on the door, but with no answer. Likewise, when he tried to ring the telephone, it was also not answered,” Chief Inspector Aji Yoga Sekar of West Denpasar Police told the paper.
Candra Wijaya had just returned from a five-day trip to Singapore with his wife and child, leaving the woman, identified only as Rupini, to take care of the house in their absence. According to a report in local-language newspaper Jawa Pos, Wijaya had become suspicious when he returned to find the front gate locked, and calls to his home phone went unanswered.
After borrowing a ladder from the neighbor to climb inside — no, the homeowner apparently had no keys — Wijaya was shocked to find his employee of 18 months lying dead in her bedroom. He immediately reported the incident to the area’s village head, who in turn handed the case over to Denpasar Police. Commenting to Nusa Bali, West Denpasar Police Chief AKP
Johannes H. Widya Dharma Nainggolan said the cause of death had yet to be confirmed. “The employer told us that the victim often took blood pressure medication. So, for the time being we suspect that the victim died due to illness,” he said. “The team did not find any signs of violence on the victim’s body, so I will wait for the results from Sanglah Hospital.” (coconuts.co)

Ok, so our minds are blown on the daily here in the Gu (seriously though, have you seen the construction on the shortcut? Bye bye rice fields ! ).. but we are all scratching our heads at one particular thing at the moment... HOW THE HELL IS IT ALREADY DECEMBER? Where did the year go?! As we near the end of the year, there’s a growing panic brewing amongst us Gu Girls... Our growing team also means a growing list of Xmas prezzies, and that means we’re going to be scrambling around for the next weeks, looking for presents for the team. Aduhh! Or, well.. we would have been, if it wasn’t for our little gem of a discovery this week. TOKONICO in Tamora Gallery has just swooped in to save the Gu Girl Crimbo, and we couldn’t be more stoked. Though this little boutique slash cafe isn’t the biggest shop on the block, it does house some of the cutest kitchenware and other little trinkets ideal for stuffing into your stocking this holiday season. Metallic black cutlery for Jess? Cute bead bracelets for Brina? Cheese board for Lani? Chopsticks for our Asian representative Ayu? Ceramic mugs for Justine? A jar of pear vanilla jam for Baby A? Can it be Christmas already? If you’re unlike us and already have your prezzies all sorted, fear not - Tokonico is all set to get you in the Christmas spirit regardless. How, you may ask? With shaved ice, of course! While you Aussies may associate the arrival of Santa with a heat wave, for the Europeans this tropical heat is as far away from the spirit of Christmas as Ayu’s other home country Finland (which is also the home of Santa, so you can see why she might have a special attachment to this time of year...) So head on through Tamora Gallery to Tokonico located right opposite the playground and order yourself a Blue Moon - a refreshing lychee, jelly and milk flavoured shaved ice dish worthy of any Es Campur lover. Not a fan of lychee? The Black Magic might be more up your shaved ice alley, with Thai tea, grass jelly and milk jam - YUM! Should all this shopping leave you hungry, Tokonico won’t disappoint you on that front either. The crunchy carrot fries with Parmesan are EVERYTHING and the grilled cheese sandwich has us drooling just at the cheesy memory. But the real MVP is hands down the banana pancake with honeycomb butter. No seriously. Honey. Comb. Butter. Honeycomb butter. Cancel all other presents, and get me a tub

of THAT for Christmas! #welikebutter blog coming soon " So boys and girls, head over to Tokonico for a shaved ice treat to cool down in this insane heat and get your Xmas prezzies on time for a change... See you at Tamora Gallery! GG xx

UPDATE: Early on the morning of Sunday, December 30, 2018, Mount Agung showed signs of more volcanic life erupting briefly for 3 minutes and 8 seconds at 4:09 am sending a thin cloud of volcanic dust some 700 meters above the crater and depositing a dusting of volcanic ash in the Karangsem Regency of Bali. The Alert Status of “Siaga” for Mount Agung remains unchanged. (balidiscovery.com)
Bali Mount Agung Volcano remains at the second highest alert status of “siaga” with no significant signs of growing volcanic activity in recent weeks. As reported by Beritabali.com, Indonesia’s Minister for Energy and Natural Resources (ESDM), Ignatius Jonan, visited the Mount Agung Observation Post located in the village Rendang in Karangasem Regency on Wednesday, December 26, 2018, in order to observe the work of volcano watchers firsthand and to inaugurate the recently renovated facility. The Minister announced during his visit, “The status of Mount Agung remains at a level 3 alert and the danger zone remains unchanged.” Minister Jonan emphasized that Bali remains very safe for tourist visitors. Meanwhile, the head of the ESDM Mitigation Team for the Eastern Region, Devy Kamil Syahabana, reports that the level of lava contained with the crater of Mount Agung is only one-third of the volcano’s total capacity and that the mountain’s volcanic activity has now entered a new phase of building equilibrium. Syahbana told the press that the 7.0 scale earthquake that devastated parts of Lombok in early August and the large number of aftershocks that followed have, in fact, had a positive impact on Mount Agung current shift to equilibrium. Adding: “If we look at Gunung Agung’s activity in 1963, the new stability phase that followed was a gradual process. In 1963 (after the major eruption) it took up until one year for the mountain to achieve equilibrium.” Monitoring equipment installed at the observation post still records deep volcanic earthquakes, shallow volcanic earthquakes, and distant tectonic events occurring on the average of once every six hours. He said the last volcanic eruption took place on July 27, 2018. Magmatic intrusions to the surface of the crater still occur, while reminding his listeners that for actual eruptions to occurred an accumulation of gas is required. While gas was accumulating inside Mount Agung in preparation for a coming eruption, that eruption was averted when the massive Lombok earthquake in July and its aftershocks caused the accumulating gasses to escape into the atmosphere.
