C o n t ents Cover Story The evening before Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, the streets in Bali are massively crowded with locals, expats and tourists. Everybody wants to see the Ngrupuk parade, which takes place always the evening before Nyepi. Plenty of Ogoh-Ogoh figurines are carried through the streets of Bali. The main purpose of the making of Ogoh-ogoh is the purification of the natural environment of any spiritual pollutants emitted from the activities of living beings (especially humans). After the ceremony the figurines will be burned, symbolizing the self-purification. Cover By: Bali Tourism Government

Lieutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali’S MOST POPULAR NATIONAL HERO
Lieutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, is an Indonesian National Hero who commanded military forces in Bali against the Dutch during the Indonesian War of Independence. Ngurah Rai was born in Desa Carangsari, Kabupaten Badung, Bali on the 30th January 1917. He studied at a Dutch Marga elementary school and then went to high school in Malang, East Java. Later, he received Dutch military training at the Military Cadet School in Gianyar, Bali and Magelang, Central Java. The National Hero graduated from military training and joined the Dutch-sponsored military as a second lieutenant in Bali. After the Indonesian declaration of independence, the Colonel established the People’s Security Army, the forerunner of the Military of Indonesia for the Lesser Sunda Islands. He then left for the republican capital, Yogyakarta, to receive orders before returning to Bali to oppose the approximately 2,000 Dutch troops that had landed in March, 1946. Ngurah Rai thought, that the republican forces were divided thus he worked hard to reunite them before organizing the first attack against the Dutch forces headquarters at Tabanan.
Lieutenant Colonel Ngurah Rai ordered a puputan or fight to the death. He died along with all of his troops in the fight, now known as “The Battle of Margarana”. Ngurah Rai was burried in Marga. On the 9th August 1975, by a Presidential Decision, I Gusti Ngurah Rai was declared as a national hero. Bali’s Ngurah Rai’s Airport is named after him and his image is on the 50,000 rupiah note.
The Dutch located Ngurah Rai’s base and offered negotiations, but the Colonel refused. On the 20th November 1946, the Dutch launched a large scale attack on Marga with the assistance of troops and Ngurah Rai in the red circle, Djelantik in the blue circle. Malang 1931. aircraft forces from Lombok.

Bali’s 3 Biggest Holidays
Nearly all festivals in Bali are related to the Balinese Pawukon-Calender which is different to other calendars by containing only 210 days. Most of the Balinese Festivals and Holidays depending on the Pawukon-Calender and moon phases are published by the Bali Government Tourism Office with the friendly advice of Dr. Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu.
GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN Galungan Day
This important Hindu ceremony is celebrated every 210 days according to the Pawukon Calendar. Galungan lasts for ten days. During this period, the Balinese Gods visit the island. Before this big holiday, the island becomes very busy. The women create beautiful woven ‘banten’ which are offerings made from young coconuts. The men decorate bamboo poles, known as penjors, which adorn the streets of every Balinese village. Sometimes, the local people cook a whole pig and give it to families. In every village, the men cook lawar, a delicious food made from vegetables, spices, and pork. The day after Galungan, called Manis Galungan, is considered as quality time for family gatherings. Many Balinese people take this day off in order to visit their extended family. The ten days of Galungan celebrations give visitors an authentic idea of what religion means to Balinese people. It is a great time to visit Bali.
Kuningan Day
Balinese Hindus believe that ten days after Galungan Day their ancestors return to paradise after dwelling on earth for ten days. The Balinese thank the gods for their mercy and often celebrate this holiday by visiting each other and having fun. The most elaborate Kuningan ceremonies are at Sakenan Temple on Seragan Island, also known as Turtle Island. Pictures by Dinas Pariwisata Provinsi Bali

NYEPI D a y
O f
S i l e n c e
To celebrate Balinese New Year, known as Nyepi, the local people stay silent, fast and meditate. They do not use electricity, drive cars or bikes and are not allowed to walk on the roads. Even the airport is closed. For tourists, Nyepi can be a peaceful time to mediate and rest your busy mind for twenty four hours. The Day of Silence is important and unique to the Balinese culture.
If you are here on Nyepi, please try to follow the Balinese custom of keeping silent. If you are in a hotel and you can’t live without electricity, close the curtain and don’t show any signs of light. If you do not wish to fast, please shop the day prior to Nyepi for food and other necessities.

Balinese Dance an important part of the culture The following brief explanation of three main Balinese Dances should help to understand the meaning of Legong, Barong, and Kecak Dances.
Legong Dance years old while the body is still very flexible. For some special temple ceremonies that occur only every thirty to fifty years, only young girls or boys that have not yet reached puberty can perform a special dance for the Gods. The Balinese believe that before puberty, it is easier for these young boys and girls to enter a trance. Performances in restaurants are for entertainment only and can be performed by dancers of all ages.
The Legong Dance is the most feminine dance on Bali and can contain different stories. Eighteen different kinds of Legong Dances have developed and depending on the story the dancers tell, 2-5 girls may perform at the same time. In the most popular form of Legong, known as Legong Kraton, three female dancers perform together. Every dance has several things in common: the decorated costumes, the headdress with frangipani flowers and the dancers who wear beautiful elaborate make up. Dancers are accompanied by a gamelan orchestra. Many young girls want to become popular Legong Dancers, however only the most talented girls are allowed to perform on stage. The Legong Dance can be taught as early as four
Kecak Dance
The Kecak Dance, also known as the Ramayana Monkey Chant, is an absolute must see for visitors to Bali. This unique dance is performed by a hundred or more men using their voices as percussive musical instruments. The men sit in a circle just in front of the audience. They sway, stand up, or lie prone as the story develops. The chanting men wear checked cloth around their waists, leave their chests bare, and throw their arms upwards with their fingers outstretched to the sky. This gesture drives out evil. Some of the men become actors in the drama being unfolded
by the dancers who enter the stage and shows a battle from the Ramayana. As the performers chant, dancers stage a battle in which the monkey king, Sugriwa and his army of monkeys help Prince Rama fight the evil King Rahwana. Kecak has its origins in sanghyang, an exorcism dance in which some dancers go into a trance. The Kecak is so popular among tourists that you can find performances almost anywhere on Bali. One of the best places is at the cliff-top temple of Ulu Watu. However, Kecak can be seen in Ubud, Batubulan, and all over the island. Any place you choose, you are sure to enjoy the drama.
Barong Dance
Barong is probably the most well known Balinese dance. This dance tells the story of the fight between good and evil. The Barong Dance is a good example of the Balinese way of acting out the relationship between mythology and history being blended into one reality. Rangda, the mother of Erlangga, the King of Bali in the tenth century, was condemned by Erlangga’s father because she practiced black magic. After she became a widow, she summoned all the evil spirits in the jungle to punish Erlangga. A fight occurred, but she and her black magic troops were so strong that Erlangga had to ask for the help of Barong. Barong came to help Erlangga’s soldiers. They began to fight. Rangda cast a spell that made Erlangga’s soldiers all want to kill themselves. The soliders then pointed their poisoned keris, a sharpened sword like knife, into their own stomachs and chests. Barong then
cast a stronger spell that helped the soldiers’ bodies resist the sharp keris. In the end, Barong’s powers proved to be stronger, thus Rangda ran away. A participant can die or get seriously injured in a Barong dance. It is said that if Rangda’s spell is too strong, a weak soldier may not be able to resist it. Even with the help of Barong, he may end up hurting himself with his own keris. The masks of Barong and Rangda are considered sacred items, and before they are brought out, a priest must offer blessings by sprinkling them with holy water taken from Mount Agung. As well as the priests blessings, offerings must be presented. Balinese Dances are impressive and were originally not performed to entertain tourists. The meaning is based on beliefs in the Bali Hindu Religion. In these dances you will still find much of the Balinese traditions.

DENPASAR TO UBUD The road from Denpasar to Ubud can be described very easily with four words, “The Road of Art”. On the trip from Denpasar to Ubud, about 26 kilometers, you will see a big selection of traditional arts and crafts. Many of the crafts people work outside and invite visitors to watch their skillful hands as they carefully make beautiful creations. Stonemasons, silversmiths, goldsmiths, puppeteers, woodcarvers, painters and dancers can all be seen on this almost magical trip through an artistic dream world.
Photos by Dinas Pariwisata Provinsi Bali
Batubulan, the village of stonemasons, provides an interesting first stop on your trip. Figures carved from stone can reflect images of demons or Gods and can be seen everywhere on the road. The stone carvings, all of the highest quality, require a strong hand to carve images out of a block of stone. In Celuk, the work of the goldsmiths and silversmiths is outstanding. In some shops, you can watch the designers working on their artistic creations. Many of their ancestors were once commissioned to work for Balinese Royalty. A stop in the art market in Sukawati is a must. Among many other fine arts and crafts, this art market features a selection of traditional Balinese temple umbrellas known as “Payung”. The market also has fine hand carved shadow puppets, known as a “Wayang”. The carefully carved detailed puppets are made from buffalo leather. Some of the more exclusive puppets are usually owned by the local dalang dalang, or puppet master. Sukawati offers a variety of souvenirs that make perfect gifts to take home to a friend or for yourself. Next on the road is Mas, the village of woodcarvers. Statues of Gods or more playful images of big
eyed frogs highly filigree carved doors or just simple window frames are all lined up for the visitors to see. For the master woodcarvers in Mas, nothing seems impossible to carve. The villages of Pengosekan and Peliatan are both interesting places to see Balinese paintings. In Pengosekan, the Community of Young Artists, a group founded in 1969 helps poor families to give their children a good art education. When they become artists, they make money to help their families. Every kind of art and craft can be found in Ubud at the traditional markets and in shops on the Monkey Forest Road. If you wish to create your own silver pendant or ring, there are shops with experts that will teach you how to create your unique piece of jewelry. During your trip, a must see is Bali’s famous Barong Dance in Batubulan. If you wish to get back to nature, a stop at the Bali Bird Park in Singapadu is a beautiful attraction; it is especially nice for children. Enjoy an adventurous trip on “THE ROAD OF ART”

Coral Aquaculture Coral reef farming is the practice of extracting segments or larva from live corals on the reef in order to replant them in a nursery, where they can be protected until they grow to adulthood. Once the corals have grown they are transplanted back into the reef. This technique has been used successfully to heal damaged areas and to improve the recovery of coral reefs damaged by pollution and the many that are suffering from degradation. The method is commonly referred to as the “gardening method� as it is analogous to horticulture and has been compared to silviculture as a management practice that mimics natural ecosystems. The technique involves treating coral as if it were a plant. Coral seeds are grown in nurseries, then replanted into their natural habitat – in this case, the sea. Coral reef farming is predominantly practiced for three reasons, either for conservation, to supply aquariums and zoos for public exhibits or to supply the home aquarium hobby industry. Some Coral reefs can take thousands of years to form. During their formation they can develop into several different shapes depending on their location and surrounding geologic of features, Club Aqua Bali as a company for Marine activities, takes over responsibility and offers in addition to the regular Seawalker activity this special and unique Highlight that you will remember for a long time.

Interest Rates

The Balinese are keeping their tradition by leasing and not selling their land. A part of their strong cultural tradition is to buy land and keep the land title in a Balinese name so that it will be in the family for future generations. Their culture thinks in terms of generations, both past and future. Leases to foreigners should be notarized to insure that they have legal investments.

Balinese women, from this “Island of artists”, have always produced extraordinarily lovely textiles for temple ceremonies and dance costumes. In the 1930’s they turned their traditional craft skills to lace, and mastered techniques which were fast disappearing elsewhere. Since the early 1970’s, Uluwatu – Handmade Balinese Lace has led the way in preserving and developing these fine skills. Now Uluwatu presents something very unique: sophisticated, stylish clothing and linen featuring handmade lace that compares to the best lace on the market.

I GUSTI NGURAH RAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT parts in Indonesia develop out of Bali’s leading tourism role. Although, what is a booming economy worth without development of the infrastructure? Not a lot!
Bali, also very well known as “Paradise Island” or “The Island of the Gods” is Indonesia’s flagship tourist destination. Balinese people are very spiritual and have strong religious beliefs. This is probably the main point why everybody from all over the world feels attracted to Bali and plenty of visitors come back again and again. Plenty of international important political events take place in Bali with the target to make the world a better place and media from all over the world write about this peaceful Island. Balinese is one out of about 300 ethnical groups populating Indonesia which consists of about 17,000 islands. All the groups have the same rights and everybody lives together in peace and harmony which guarantees to keep the amazing diversification in culture. Also, every ethnical group has its own language which makes Indonesia the most multilingual country in the world. To ensure working communication across the country, a high Indonesian language was developed called “Bahasa Indonesia”. The Indonesian Government has taken huge steps over the last couple of years and has driven democracy forward. This step was finally one of the major pillars for the Indonesian economical growth which was found repeatedly over the last couple of years in the world’s TOP 5. Bali with its strong economy, based on tourism, has a role model function for the rest of Indonesia. Big movements and changes in Indonesia have their starting position in Bali and plenty of other
Bali has understood that development of its infrastructure is important for further investments, economical growth and to increase tourism on the Island of the gods. With the new Underpass in Kuta and The Bridge from Sanur to Nusa Dua, which is also connected to the airport, the Balinese Government was able to reduce traffic massively which now pays off for everybody coming to The Island Of The Gods. Bali’s leading role in Indonesian tourism, based also on its strategically perfect geographic position, has not only a positive impact on Bali itself. A very important side effect of Bali’s quick development is the access to other regions in Indonesia as more and more new flight routes are being launched, outgoing from Ngurah Rai international Airport Bali. This means that Ngurah Rai International Airport brings an additional positive impact on the development of the economy in other parts of Indonesia and finally it helps to increase the economy in all areas across the country. To strengthen this progress and obviously to offer vacationers from all over the world a convenient arrival, PT Angkasa Pura I was doing its bit and invested a huge amount of money to develop Ngurah Rai International Airport’s infrastructure.

FAR FROM AN ORDINARY AIRPORT
The International Airport of Ngurah Rai, located in the Badung regency, can be described as Angkasa Pura’s brand-new express gateway to Indonesia and vice versa, the worlds access to Bali and Indonesia. Especially for the regency of Badung, which has the biggest GDP out of Bali’s 8 regencies where around 85% comes from tourism, will profit massively from Angkasa Pura’s I airport project as the capacity has increased dramatically. With enormously increasing numbers in new arrivals, it was simply necessary to restructure the complete airport and the surrounding area. Also it was important for Angkasa Pura to go with the times and use the newest technology available for the passenger’s convenience.
B+S+C is the formula which I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport was developed on. B stands for Beauty. The distinctive design, which is a combination of Balinese architecture and a minimalist modern design, will simply impress you and makes Bali’s airport completely different to all the others in the world. S stands for safety. By using high end materials in construction and by hiring additional security staff, you can feel safe during your complete stay in and around the airport. Finally we have the C, standing for convenience. An easy to understand airport structure, modern technology such as the newest elevators, escalators, travelators or baggage claims and obviously the increased amount of Visa terminals and passport controls making your arrival and departure simply comfortable. As infrastructure is one of the most important things in a fast growing economy, with new flight routes and the enormously increased capacity, Angkasa Pura I has not only built an airport for tourists convenience, but it will also increase the economy in Badung, Bali and the whole Indonesia. Welcome to I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport – Your personal Brand-New Express Gateway To Paradise! - We are ready to welcome YOU and the rest of the world!

TO ANTICIPATE
“LACK OF CAPACITY� To anticipate the surge of passengers, aircraft movements and cargo at Ngurah Rai International Airport, since 1975 till 1978 airport development projects have been done by building on aviation support facilities, such as building a new international terminal. The old terminal building was converted into a domestic terminal, while the domestic terminal building was used as a cargo building, catering business, and a multi-purpose building. In 1990, the Project Development of Ngurah Rai International Airport was re-done along with the increasing growth of the planes that used it. The developments of these facilities were divided into three stages and were called the Project Facility Airport and Aviation Safety (FBUKP). FBUKP Project Phase I (1990-1992) includes an extension that comes with the aviobridge terminal, runway extension, relocation of taxiway, apron expansion, renovation and expansion of the terminal building, expansion of the parking lot, cargo building development, building operations, the development of air navigation facilities and supply of aircraft fuel. FBUKP Project Phase II (1998-2000) included air-
port development undertaken by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, among others, by utilizing an area of 12 hectares of mangroves for use as aviation safety facilities. While FBUKP Project Phase III (2011-2013) included the development of the terminal building, parking deck, and apron. The current domestic terminal area will be expanded to reach a total of 12,000 meters in width that will then be used as the international terminal. The existing international terminal will be converted into the domestic terminal. Under these conditions, Ngurah Rai Airport will be able to accommodate up to 25 million passengers.

The combination of modern elements and Intellectual Culture of Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport is not just a transport node or one of the economic driving forces alone, beyond business, this airport will become a new landmark for the Island. In the context of sociology, airport infrastructure is believed to have a broader meaning, which became part of the culture and customs of Bali. Once off the plane, the passengers will be able to instantly enjoy and explore some of the cultural richness of Bali at the airport. So that the aspects of the culture, customs and religion don’t become one-dimensional they have all been highly considered in the planning of the development of this airport. Together with the local government and related agencies, Angkasa Pura Airports formed a design committee before starting the construction of the airport. The committee was also strengthened by academicians from the University of Udayana, the practitioners element of Architectural Association Region Bali, team builder and traditional Balinese buildings, as well as traditional leaders in the villages around the Ngurah Rai International Airport. With the committee, local wisdom could be ac-
commodated and enrich the airport development plan. The Architecture of the airports and supporting facilities not only parallel with the existing dynamics of technological progress, but also to promote the artistic and aesthetic nuance charged customs and culture of Bali. The exterior and interior of the airport buildings are thick with the feel of Bali, which combined with the dimensions of a cosmopolitan modernity and futuristic style. In fact, many traditional rituals accompanied and participated in this project. The main building, which is a new passenger terminal, has a roof like an ocean wave. The Multilevel parking structure is pyramid-shaped, resembling a tiered rice field. on the interior side, very strong Balinese ornaments color this magnificent building. While the dimensions of modernity and technological progress, will look at the major equipment and the complementary airport. For example, gate handling system, which uses HBS (Hold Baggage Screening) worth Rp 150 billion. Passenger baggage will be moved electronically and mechanically from day check-in to the aircraft approaching. This technology creates minimal physical contact by the officers, but much more accurate, fast, effective, and efficient. Also equipped wich x-ray sensored layers and it will be the first time this equipment has been applied to an Indonesian airport.
