Box Fusion Classes @ Canggu Club? Let’s Get Ready to Rumble! sessions up my sleeve, I thought the class would be a breeze. I may have been mistaken!

For more information about Canggu Club Fitness classes, check out their schedule online at: www.cangguclub. com>fitness or don your active wear come in and try it for yourself. Bring it on Rocky!

All prizes were generously donated by local businesses happy to lend their support to the cause.

Raffle tickets in hand, the ladies sat down to a traditional spread of sumptuous roasts with all of the trimmings followed by decadent dessert platters filled with creme caramels, citrus tarts and dark chocolate delights. The perfect Christmas feast with no excuses to go home hungry!

The festive season is a time for giving and getting together and this year’s Girls’ Charity Lunch really was the embodiment of everything Christmas! An annual event which began fourteen years ago with just ten ladies, the Charity Lunch was originally organised to raise money for orphanages and to spread some cheer to youngsters who barely get to experience the necessities, let alone a little something extra at Christmas.

The brainchild of a few long term Bali ladies, the charity lunch has raised considerable funds for numerous orphanages over the years, however for the past decade they have concentrated on a relatively small orphanage in Alor (just near Komodo). Recently, the group has had to change the format of their donations (it seems they have raised too much money!) forming a charity called ‘Living and Learning’ which enables them to distribute monies

Canggu Club’s Commitment to Reuse, Reduce & Recycle Like many popular tourist destinations, Bali has a real problem with rubbish. It covers the beaches, particularly during the rainy season, it clogs the drains beside the roads and unfortunately, most vacant allotments also tend to masquerade as a convenient rubbish tip. Agreed, our island home is definitely not alone in its fight to find a solution to the pollution problem, however we all need to make more of an effort when it comes to doing our part to reduce our reliance on non-biodegradable consumables.

Granted there are a number of successful programs already in place across the island such as local beach clean ups, Eco Bali Recycling and the student born initiative, Bye Bye Plastic Bags to mention only a few but it is also encouraging to see other local businesses setting an example by getting on board and implementing in house waste minimization, management and recycling programs.

raised each year to any registered Yayasan charity involved in the growth and education of children. The majority of funds raised at this year’s luncheon will go again to the orphanage in Alor, with the remainder distributed to Bali Children’s Foundation and other local children’s charities in need.

This year’s lunch was held on December 11th at Jemme, an elegant little restaurant in Petitenget. The intimate eatery was transformed into a Christmas wonderland for the afternoon and around sixty ladies decked out in festive finery arrived carrying Christmas gifts for the children from the orphanage. Welcome cocktail in hand, guests then jostled to purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win a cache of fantastic prizes the likes of accommodation packages, cushions, cooking classes, lingerie, boat cruises, beauty treatments and even horse riding lessons. initiative which aims not only to reduce the amount of daily waste across all venues but to also educate staff and suppliers about minimising our carbon footprint by way of reducing unnecessary packaging and developing the mindset to reuse and recycle where appropriate.

Recycling bins for plastic, paper, glass and cans can be found in all venue kitchens and bars along with bins for organic waste. Staff are trained to separate kitchen waste into respective bins for non-organic and organic items and this is monitored on a regular basis by heads of each department. Monies received for recyclables such as glass bottles, paper and plastics are added to staff service in order to ‘incentivise’ employees to commit to the program and encourage members and guests to do the same. Garden trimmings and food scraps go into a large bin to begin the composting process which, after a period of fermentation is then used as fertilizer for Canggu Club gardens and lawns.

Grey water is used for garden irrigation and a chopper was even purchased for the gardens department in order to chip

Each year there’s always a little extra surprise courtesy of Jemme Jewellery and this year was no exception. A special raffle prize of a diamond and gold pendant caused considerable excitement with tickets at Rp1,000,000 a piece - small price to pay considering the actual value of this stunning necklace. Lucky winner Amanda Booth was overwhelmed with her prize and raffle ticket sales for this item went a long way to add to the impressive total of around Rp130,000,000 raised on the day not to mention a swag of Christmas pressies for the kids!

Of course fund raisers such as these are never possible without the generous donation of time taken to plan such a successful event and special mention must go to Louise Henry, Jacky Ames, Jane Swinson and their band of helpers for their organisational efforts and skills along with host, Jemme restaurant and the many who donated prizes to add to the appeal of the day.

It only takes a small amount from each of us to create something that means so much to those who have so little. What better way to celebrate the spirit of Christmas than to spend it with a group of like minded ladies keen to collaborate for a cause. large cuttings down to a size more effective for composting.

Despite the preferred mode of communication being cyber these days, paper products are still required for signs, banners, packaging and reading materials. But these don’t make it to the waste pile either! Once finished with, all paper recyclables are gathered and distributed to collectors for reuse.

Awareness about the benefits of recycling is vital and The Canggu Club are committed to teaching their employees about caring for their environment, ensuring they understand the purpose of the program and hopefully, choosing to integrate similar processes in their own home. Each staff member has been issued with a green bag in an effort to reduce their own reliance on plastic bags at the market or shop and lead by example. Even suppliers have been encouraged to use these environmentally friendly bags for stock delivery (where appropriate) instead of the mountains of plastic that tend to envelop our purchases.

In an effort to educate staff, members and guests, The Canggu Club have reinforced their commitment to Keep Bali Clean by incorporating a comprehensive recycling program across all of their venues. Regulars to The Club may have recently noticed a number of colourful recycling bins dotted throughout the property encouraging consumers to dispose of their rubbish in separate receptacles provided for paper, plastic and organic waste, but The Club’s pledge to reduce pollution goes much further.

In order to initiate a change in our pattern of consumption and its effect on our natural environment, education is the key. Recycling, reusing and reducing waste in the workplace and at home has a filter down effect and the more we see this happening, the sooner it becomes routine behaviour.

Congratulations to The Canggu Club and other like minded local businesses for implementing these environmentally friendly practices and being a part of the change that aims to make a difference.

Solebuddies Good Sports on United Nations Day of Disabilities 2015 not disgraced by their 8-6 and 7-5 loss in their first two games, experiencing fast and furious wheelchair rugby!

Sarah Chapman from Solemen commented: “Kids all had a great time and we only knew their capabilities by trying them and there are so many games we can try!

Just to passively participate in these activities boosts morale and their smiles were amazing yesterday. Thanks to all your crew for making this happen.”

The United Nations Day of Disabilities earlier this month was a huge success with a bit of friendly competition and smiles all round! Bali (Disabled) Sports Foundation and Solemen had a great day of fun and laughter at the The Bali Sports Foundation (BSF) Hall in Kesiman on Thursday Dec 3rd. The United Nations Day of disabilities is celebrated around the world and this year, for the first time, here in Bali. Special guests, visitors, staff and most importantly the children with disabilities of varying severity enjoyed the fun day playing ball games such as Boccia and Wheelchair Rugby.

Solemen brought along sixteen ‘solebuddies’ (a term used affectionately for the children and adults they support).

The UN Day of Disabilities aims to promote understanding of disability issues and mobilise support for the dignity, rights & well-being of persons living with disabilities. By improving the inclusion and this well-being, these sports support the advancement of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Sports based opportunities can help achieve the goal of universal primary education. (MDG1) by helping to reduce stigma and increase confidence. (MDG2) by reducing stigma preventing children with disabilities from attending school; promote gender equality (MDG3) by empowering women and girls with disabilities to acquire health information, skills, social networks leadership experience, and lead to increased employment and lower poverty and hunger.

Solemen Ambassador, actress and model celebrity Tamara Bleszynski came to play with the kids and cheer on the Solemen team who were narrowly defeated but certainly

The BSF Sports Hall provides a safe and supportive environment where disabled youth have a place in which they are treated with dignity can make new friends &

‘Gu Gets a Taste of California Flavours It’s no secret I am partial to a taco or two, so I was definitely dancing on the outside when I discovered new and groovy little timber clad eatery, Balifornia Republic pop up in the Berawa borough of late. Open only a month, this joint is already enjoying a steady stream of repeat customers and it is easy to see why.

Simple styles, the freshest fish and fantastic flavours are a few of the reasons why people keep returning to this California style cafe. If you have ever cruised around The Golden State, you know you don’t need to travel too far to find a taco stand or food truck dishing up cuisine with distinctly Mexican or Spanish flavours. But forget ‘TexMex’, this is ‘Fresh Mex’ with an emphasis on seafood so you know there’s sure to be a fish taco somewhere on the menu! At just 20 thou a pop it is the perfect starter, you can choose between mahi mahi, seabass, swordfish or tuna and it comes with a dollop of zesty sammy sauce, crunchy red cabbage, salsa and avocado. Bet you can’t stop at one. Delicioso!

If that’s not enough to satisfy your quest for seafood, try

one of their grilled fish sandwiches, swordfish burritos or my newfound

favourite, the tuna poke bowl. No, it’s nothing to do with a prodding digit or Facebook function, a poke (pronounced ‘poe-kee’) is a raw fish salad. Super healthy and oh so tasty, it generally consists of fresh cubes of tuna marinated in a little soy and sesame and a few other tasty tidbits.

Balifornia Republic’s take on this dish is to serve it in a coconut bowl over coriander and lime rice. Filling, flavoursome, guilt free and only around five bucks!

learn new skill with games such as Wheelchair Rugby & Basketball, Blind Judo and Soccer, Special Needs Swimming, Powerlifting, Stick Fighting, Boccia and others.

“Through events like this we will increase our impact for people with disabilities in Bali and Indonesia through the power of sport and play. Sports really can change lives,” mentioned one BSF staff member. Congratulations to Bali (Disabled) Sports Foundation andSolemen Indonesia for putting together such a fun and memorable day for everyone involved.

Just to note, Bali Sports Foundation activities include the following: Wheelchair Basketball - Amputee, Para & Polio Wheelchair Rugby - CP, Amputee and Quad Powerlifing - Amputee, Polio and Blind Judo - Blind Goalball - Blind Wheelchair Shooting - Amputee & Polio Special Needs Swimming - all disabilities Eskrima - Deaf Mute Boccia - Severe CP Pararchery - Amputee & Polio Lawn Bowls - Polio, CP, Amputee ParaSailing - Amputee & Polio For more information about the Bali (Disabled) Sports Foundation, email them at: info@balisports.com wooden benches toting cute cacti centre pieces and crate style stools with comfy cushions. The kitchen window is reminiscent of a food truck with a propped open hatch and a view to the grill. Food is fast and fresh and the staff are friendly.

Granted, it’s probably not a dinner destination for your ravenous meat eating mate as there is not a cow within cooee but they do in fact cater for those who prefer to see their fish swimming in their natural state with a section on the menu for vegans. Yep! you can ‘Keep your Vegan-ity’ (their words not mine!) with a selection of tempeh tacos, burritos and salads too.

Nothing is over Rp 55,000 and if you are only after a post surf snack, you can’t go past the classic guacamole and chips washed down with a frosty Bintang or Albens Cider.

For the moment they are just offering lunch and dinner but I’m told breakfast is on the way. Open six days from Tuesday to Sunday, they offer take away options or you can dine in from 11am until 10.

A GIFT BEYOND PRICE

Martina was just ¿ve years old when an accidental blow to her eye caused a cataract to develop. She grew up blind in one eye and very sensitive about the way she looked. Even if there had been an ophthalmologist on her island of Sumbawa trained to do cataract surgery, her family could never afford it.

The John Fawcett Foundation has done over a million eye assessments since 1991. Over half a million people have received eye drops for potentially blinding eye infections.

Since 2001, 407,000 people have received glasses; between 60 and 70% of the adults screened need glasses, and the JFF provides new ones.

Appearances are important every where, and she knew her cataract would make it dif¿cult for her to marry and lead a normal life in her community. When the John Fawcett Foundation (JFF) visited her remote town in West Sumbawa in September 2013 on a mission assisted by the Indonesian Air Force, she snatched at the chance to change her life.

JFF missions to Sumbawa and other remote areas of the country are made possible by close cooperation with the Indonesian Air Force. In 2011 John was approached by the armed forces and asked what they could do to further the JFF’s work. John replied that he wanted to be able to reach people where no treatment was available, and the Air Force pledged its help. The JFF built a mobile eye clinic designed to ¿t inside an Indonesian Air Force Hercules C-130 and, in consultation with the Air Marshall, John mapped out remote communities with air strips which would accommodate the Hercules. Four Air Force missions a year allow the JFF to reach large numbers of people in remote areas, assessing up to 1500 people and conducting 100 surgeries a day with Air Force ophthalmologists trained to do cataract surgery by JFF.

Martina and her mother attended the JFF eye screening with the rest of her community, and the adults with cataracts were prepared for surgery that same day. But because she was only 14 years old, the team told Martina that she’d have to wait and be taken to Bali later for her operation. Children require a general anaesthetic because it’s very dif¿cult for them to lie without moving during the delicate procedure.

The JFF team felt that she was too young to tolerate the cataract surgery without an anaesthetic.

This unique and very effective partnership has made it But Martina was insistent. For most of her young life she’d possible to provide eye screening and treatment to people lived with a blinding, dis¿guring cataract and she didn’t want who would never otherwise have the opportunity to see an to wait even a few weeks longer to have it corrected.

With the improvement in roads across the archipelago, the Martina lay as still as a stone during mobile clinics can reach even the state-of-the-art, 20-minute remote villages now. It’s a pleasure surgery. And the next day when the to watch the experienced, close-knit dressing was removed, she and her JFF team prepare for a village mother were elated to see a pretty, clinic. They sweep the space, hang perfect face in the mirror. Since her banners and eye charts, then surgery, Martina is doing very well gather in a circle and pray silently in school.

My school results have improved now that I and are escorted in to wait for their vision tests. can see better, and I would like to do well so I can get a good job and help my family for the future,” she told the JFF team In a few hours 500 people will have moved smoothly through the screening procedures, about 300 will receive glasses, recently. many will have eye infections treated and up to ten will Cataracts come about for a number of reasons.

The JFF has been restoring sight and preventing blindness among the poor of Indonesia for 25 years, providing free screening, glasses, medication and cataract surgery to Indonesia’s poor. Martina was just one of 50,000 people whose vision has been restored by JFF. Ironically, Indonesia’s poorest cataract patients receive some of the highest quality surgery and care in the country. In a wonderful example of technology transfer, the professional staff of the JFF team continues to upgrade its skills through training from leading Australian specialists traveling to Bali.

Visits to Perth by Indonesian doctors to study at the Eye Institute refine their skills in delivering this low-cost, extremely effective surgery. The procedure is safe, simple and fast, taking 15-20 minutes using micro-surgery to remove the defective lens and replace it with a high-quality inter-ocular lens.

So please support this wonderful work and start the year with a good deed. If each person who reads this article sponsors one cataract surgery (at the cost of a dinner at a fancy restaurant) imagine how many lives could be changed.

But he sometimes has dif¿culty, apparently, getting to the end of straggling dirt roads in tiny villages with no names, and perhaps even with children who have never heard of him, nor their parents before them.

Movies are free and start at 7:30pm sharp; with Bar Luna’s fabulous 2 for 1 margarita cocktails available all night!

If you are in Ubud for Christmas, maybe you can help him.

Visit Kopernik’s Tek Kiosk, with all its solar powered merchandise: solar chargers; simple, safe water treatment systems, and super-efficient simple biomass cooking equipment. Just purchase some of these items, and donate them to Kopernik’s “the last mile” program. Or arrange a monthly “Tipping Point” donation - from $25 to $100.

Kopernik uses commercial sales of these technologies to ¿nance many inspiring programs that reach to the end of those tiny roads around Indonesia, where water isn’t usually safe to drink and electricity is still a wondrous fairytale. So why not help them – and Santa – with their work?

PRANOTO BOHEMIAN Asyik! (Indonesian for Ex-olent!) Pak Pranoto, Ubud’s own favourite artist and mentor to young painters, has a solo notto-be-missed exhibition at Bali Bohemia in Nyuh Kuning.

The exhibition “Flowing Hues” will be open till mid-January and was opened earlier this month with a typical Ubud bohemian Àourish ... many, many guests dancing outside in the garden to the jamming rhythms of an ever-changing cast of musicians, including Pentatonic Noise. It was a perfect night, and a great occasion to celebrate with Pranoto and many of the musicians and artists who consider Pranoto’s own gallery on Jl Raya Goa Gaja as their second home.

INDO YOUTH WORKER TRAINING Pass the word! Motivational Arts Unlimited company (MAU) is generously offering a free training opportunity for up to 25 youth workers (teachers, counsellors, community outreach workers, etc.) who work primarily with adolescents.

Three, 4-hour sessions will run in January, as part of an Indonesian Youth Workers pilot project at Campuhan College on Jl Raya Campuhan in Ubud.

Training will use action methods to explore youth development. Participants will investigate the adolescents’ developing personality structure - changes in physical, mental and emotional maturity - and learn motivational arts methods, including psychodrama and sociodrama techniques, including: role-reversal, concretization of metaphor, doubling, role training and the mirror technique.

This is an exciting opportunity for any Indonesian with an interest in working with young people. Email mario@ dramario.net for more information, or call Campuhan College on 0361 7800399.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS AT BRIDGES Ho! Ho! Ho! Thank you very much to Bridges Restaurant for giving us an opportunity to hear and sing some Christmas songs together - takes us back to many memories of times with family, friends and loved ones.

Bridges managed to lure 18 members of the Bali Community Choir up from Sanur to their festively decorated outdoor terrace, where guests joined them for two sets of Christmas carols – both traditional and modern. Guests were served a complimentary Christmas drink and cookies.

The Bali Community Choir is a group of both Indonesian and expatriate singers under the direction of Brendan O’Donnell, former ‘Sing Australia’ conductor. Let’s hope we can persuade Bridges to make this an annual tradition!

HOLIDAY ROCKIN’ Jim Larkin’s blues classics at Laughing Buddha Bar will make for one of your most memorable Christmas Eves ever. We lured Jim here more than ¿ve years ago and each year he’s back with his Californian blues sound – like many good things, blues gets better with age and that soulful croon is no exception.

For Christmas Day – until a few years ago not really celebrated in restaurants in Ubud – there are lots of great choices, but not much time to get your booking in. Taksu Restaurant, Tutmak, Kebun and Bridges all offer a delicious menu and good company – including friendly, competent staff.

KIDNAPPING ALERT!!!

Please warn anyone with children to be alert – especially in our Balinese communities. Late last month, right in the heart of Ubud in the village of Pengosekan, a car stopped and a man tried to abduct one of the children who were playing in the river while their grandmother washed clothes.

The grandmother tried to save the kid, screaming, and fortunately a man on a motorbike stopped to help. The child is safe but the family and the village are in shock.

A few days before, there was a report of a car stopping around the village and its driver trying to attract kids with candies, but the kids were cautious, and all of them ran away. Nothing like this has ever happened before in Ubud, though there have been kidnapping in Sukawati in the past.

Please, be aware. And take care of your children.

C/U/G-9 Dec. 15

C/U/I-04 March 15

I hear you have written a novel about Aceh in the 17th Century. How do you see history as inÀuencing the current situation in Aceh?

Azhari - Aceh’s Master of Suspense Interviewed by Sarita Newson Acehnese author Azhari has voiced the woes of his people for more than a decade. The oppressive military occupation of his homeland during the war between the national Indonesian army and the GAM Free Aceh Movement (1989 to 1998) inspired him to write a series of short stories, compiled into an award-winning anthology titled Perempuan Pala (Nutmeg Woman), in 2004. He read from this volume at the ¿rst Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in October 2004, and in 2015 he returned to contribute once more to the festival.

Azhari, your collection of short stories about the situation during the war and the GAM Freedom Movement in Aceh, was published in 2004. At that time was it not dangerous for you to write about the situation, especially still under military occupation, with armed soldiers everywhere in Aceh?

It didn’t feel that way at the time. The situation was pretty much one of anarchy. Unlike today, students at that time had plenty of self-confidence and courage. Perhaps because we had just emerged from a dif¿cult situation and we knew thousands of people had been killed during the military’s operation. We were involved in a movement to demand a referendum for Aceh, and a number of my friends were completely open about it and had no fear of acknowledging that they were freedom ¿ghters wanting independence.

Danger arrived in 2003, during the time of the Military Emergency, as at that time, during the presidency of

Megawati, the army and the police were given permission to announce a state of emergency, and Aceh became a war zone. Although this allowed the right to kill with impunity, the campaign was supported by the majority of Indonesian intellectuals, religious leaders, culturalists, major media such as Kompas and Tempo Magazine who echoed it in their editorials. Aceh was completely alone at that time.

On 26 December 2004 the largest Tsunami the world has known hit Aceh, killing more than 170,000 people, including your parents and sister.

That incident obliterated half of my soul. And I don’t wish to talk further about them.

Your book Perempuan Pala (Nutmeg Woman) went on to win the Free Word Award from Poets of All Nations, Netherlands, in 2005. However, you stopped writing for two years. How did you manage to start again?

True, it was a long time before I could write again. I don’t remember exactly how I began. There are quite a few things after the 2004 tsunami that I cannot remember, especially in detail, and my ability to remember was messed up, especially concerning chronology and perception of place.

After the events of the 2004 tsunami I found it hard to concentrate. Even until now I can’t remember exactly the date I arrived in Aceh after the tsunami, sometimes I say two days after, sometimes three. I no longer remember who I ¿rst met when I arrived in Banda Aceh or where I went after that.

Contrastingly I remember clearly everything that happened before 2004, even to the tiniest details.

Back to your question. I think my desire to write again was reawakened by instinct. Besides, every time I met my close friends, both in Aceh or outside, they always pushed me to go back to my writing. I didn’t begin with the heavy stuff. The ¿rst story I wrote after the tsunami was a fantasy about a turtle.

The leader of GAM, Hasan Tiro, likes to remind us of the glory of Aceh’s past in his political propaganda, and stories about (our past) can be amazingly powerful, especially in restoring our belief in ourselves. In spite of the way in which Hasan Tiro accomplished this, without it I would possibly still feel ill at ease in front of my fellow Indonesians.

Because the dictatorship of the Orde Baru government caused many people outside the island of Java to feel inferior, and view their own cultural heritage as poor, whilst destroying their desire to resist.

For a clearer example of this, consider-what do Indonesians understand about Papua today? Do Indonesians actually care about what happens during military operations in Papua, or the restrictions enforced by the Indonesian government there? Very few indeed.

Now we hear that human rights have got worse in Aceh since Shariah law was implemented, especially for women. Do you think there is hope for change in the future?

There is hope for change, if there is a change in politics.

But politicians in Aceh now have all come from GAM, a secular organisation of freedom ¿ghters, and it seems they are conspiring to do nothing. Clearly these politicians feel safer, and can pro¿t more from Islamic Syariah.

May I know what you are currently working on?

I have a number of manuscripts (underway), but they are still taking shape. The one that may be published next year is a novel. I can’t share the title yet. It will have two parts, the ¿rst set in the 17th Century, about a sailor who wants to kill the Sultan to take revenge for the death of his family.

This drags him into many adventures, all the way from Africa to the Philippines. The second part is a story about a Dutch East Indies doctor who is given the job of researching a number of serial killings in a city.

What are your dreams, Azhari, for Aceh’s future?

The thing I desire most is for Aceh to become a safe place for everyone, including its wild animals.

Fashion MUSIC MATTERS

By Toby Greetings live music lovers, and welcome to this the final Christmas edition of Music Matters here in your local Bali Advertiser. Now first off I need to explain my absence from the last edition, and the continuing trend of what’s on guides in my articles rather than putting myself on the frontline, and going hard as per usual.

car recreating the worst Max Power photo shoot ever, headed for one of the hottest venues in town Linga Longa Bar!

The truth is yesterday afternoon on 15/12/15 at 4.50 pm I became a father. My little rock star Margaret will no doubt be kicking ass and taking names in the music world soon enough. Until then just know dear readers that for me at least there is no experience or drug like the thrill of becoming a dad, and I now look at Clapton’s song Sweet Baby James with a whole new set of eyes. Anyway that was my ‘early’ Christmas Present, so now it’s time for yours.

Now I have reviewed Linga Longa Bar in Sanur before, but this place and its great lively atmosphere just continue to surprise and inspire me.

The venue is like a cut out of Bob Marley’s bedroom (if it had a 12 meter bar in there) and is reggae to the last with Jamaican themed walls and futons for sitting in. But it’s not The other night before my daughter the décor that keeps me coming back but the Band! came into this world; I was out and about in deepest darkest Denpasar. Harimo is without a shadow of doubt one of the best live The night was overcast and dank bands on the island! Unlike others who pass themselves off but with a little effort and a few good as the Stones or AC/DC. Harimo don’t pretend, they live friends we found ourselves in a and breathe the music they play, and at Linga Longa they Bakso Bar. I went here myself a few play hard! If there ever was a band which had the title of days prior and was amazed to find Crowd pleaser in Bali it would be Harimo. a live band performing here.

Hailing from Sumatera the band I was pretty convinced for bands to has been together a fairly long play in venues in Bali, there were time and play down at the bar some prerequisites like: 1. The every evening. They are tight on place has beer. 2. There is beer pretty much everything they do served at the place 3. The venue has a wide selection of and cover G&R, Bryan Adams, alcohol including beer! But to my utter amazement this Bon-Jovi, Meatloaf, Metallica, and wasn’t the case, the venue in question Soerabi Bandoneng even so I’m told here have a bash serves nothing more than bakso, corn without the cob and at the Offspring and even System suspicious sausages, yet they had a four piece band front of a Down. and centre kicking the jams.

The crowd literally laps it up, and the band (who don’t play anywhere The band comelse) give them exactly what they prised of one ask for! Before too long they have acoustic and one everyone singing along to pretty much every song and have electric guitarist a the audience eating out of the palm of their hands! drummer and a vocalist. They The bar really has taken a nuclear approach to the idea of played a mix of bands as they just went for one solid performer night after Indonesian and Western pop chart music, Ed Sheeran etc. but on request night, but after chatting to the owner of Linga Longa, Rolas, did something a little more special. After a bit of arm twisting this may be about to be up for review: they played some Green Day, and even performed ‘Are you gonna be my girl’ by Jet. I did kind of take to the stage for “Obviously Harimo are safe but the idea of helping local this last one to ahem… help them out a bit. I’ll try and put a artists in the area make a name for themselves is something link to You Tube on the bottom of the page otherwise add we’re keen on, and who knows maybe next year we’ll host me on Facebook to see vids of me screaming that one (liter- a battle of the bands or something like that.” ally as I got electrocuted by the mic!)

by Bill Dalton Just in time for Christmas are two presents that don’t need batteries, don’t come in the wrong size or color, never need ironing or assembling and are gifts that you can open again and again for years to come.

One is an illustrated multicultural children’s book that presents some of the most beloved Indonesian fairy tales and folk stories that have been told to generations of children.

The other is an environmental and nature-oriented picture book featuring a diminutive cartoon caricature of one of the world’s most extraordinary arboreal creatures.

Indonesian Children’s Favorite Stories by Joan Suyenaga Indonesia possesses a wealth of oral cultural material that has been verbally transmitted from one generation to another in speech or song that may take the form folktales, sayings, ballads, dreams and chants in which princesses, princes, wood carvers and wandering teachers rule as wise kings, save their villages, outsmart ferocious giants and win true love.

Set in tropical rain forests, on balmy beaches and in the remote highlands of Indonesian islands, Indonesian Children’s Favorite Stories provides insights into the country’s rich oral heritage that passes universal values and morals on to children, imparting knowledge about history, creation myths, culture, tradition, adat customary law, environment and geography into the bargain.

Clever princesses, resourceful villagers and daring travelers appear in oral traditions found in many of the 350 ethnic groups inhabiting this vast archipelago. Retold for an international audience, these imaginatively illustrated stories are aimed at children in the 5 to 12 age group, though readers of all ages will ¿nd much to enjoy within these pages.

Author Joan Suyenaga, born and raised in Honolulu, grew up with Japanese Children’s Favorite Stories, the ¿rst title in the popular Tuttle series, on her family bookshelf. She has worked in Yogyakarta as a freelance writer, translator and editor for the past 20 years. Her three children were the ¿rst to hear the stories featured in this volume. Salim Martowiredjo is a well-known Indonesian artist who has wonderfully depicted Indonesian rural life in this richly illustrated book.

Synopses of the book’s featured traditional stories from ethnic groups that span the island nation: *True Strength is a story from Java about Patih Senggilur who uses skill, honesty and supernatural strength to outwit a trio of roaming thieves. *The Woodcarver’s Love is a tale from an island of in the Sulawesi Sea about the poor woodsman Takatuliang who beat out all suitors to win the hand of the king’s beautiful daughter by fashioning a unique present. *The Buffalo’s Victory retells a famous Minangkabau story set in the highlands of West Sumatra of a battle between two buffaloes, the outcome of which would decide this ethnic group’s independence under Javanese Majapahit rule. *The ¿erce King Dewata-chengkar in The Magic Headcloth had a bad habit of eating human beings. After a stranger arrives at the palace to sacri¿ce himself for the king’s next meal, a plan for a cunning trick is hatched.

about a young, poor but lucky boy who by a series of fortunate accidents marries the Dayak chief’s daughter. *Timun Mas (“Golden Cucumber”) is a widely known Javanese folktale about a brave girl, the only child of a poor farmer and his wife who escapes from the clutches of an evil green giant who tries to eat her.

Indonesian Children’s Favorite Stories shares the fairy tales and legends most beloved by children of Indonesia with young readers of all backgrounds in the West. The illustrations add zest to the writing and give the characters of each story distinct personalities. At the same time, each story carries its own moral and gives children valuable life lessons in honesty, kindness, true love, loyalty, patience, determination, bravery and how an agile clever mind can outwit brute strength and greed.

Indonesian Children’s Favorite Stories by Joan Suyenaga, illustrated by Salim Martowiredjo, Tuttle Publishing 2015, ISBN 978-080-484-5113, paperback, 64 pages, 40 watercolors, dimensions 23 cm x 23 cm. ** Kiki the Orangutan: The Big Banana Festival by Arie Komalasari

C/E/G-14 Oct. 15

Arie Komalasari wrote Kiki the Orangutan for preschoolers and kids up to 4-5 years old in order to raise awareness of the problem of endangered orangutans.

The story starts out with the main character Kiki who is bored and hungry. His family is always busy. He wants to play, but no one has the time. So Kiki goes for a walk…and that’s where all the trouble begins!

Kiki the Orangutan is a captivating tale of a naughty but good-natured orangutan that simply cannot resist stealing a bunch of ripe bananas from his neighbor’s tree. After he has eaten his full, he ¿nds out that the bananas were going to be used to make banana bread-his favorite food-for the Banana Festival the next day. Now his poor neighbor has no bananas left to make any bread! Can Kiki make up for his actions and ¿nd a new bunch of bananas in time?

Another drama of course is being played out beyond this short, sweet tale’s make believe world of neat cottages, cozy kitchens, merry-go-rounds, picket fences and well-tended gardens inhabited only by orangutans dressed in cute anthropomorphic out¿ts. That drama is the widespread threat posed to this magni¿cent primate by the degradations of their rapacious human relatives who are not depicted in the story.

C/E/G-23 Dec. 15

As their natural habitats are being destroyed, orangutans are on the run in forested areas of Kalimantan and Sumatra.

Tens of thousands of hectare of unprotected land, used as sanctuaries for the endangered great apes, are being cleared by palm oil plantations and paper companies. The forests are also used as release points for rehabilitated orangutans, many orphaned after logging and plantation workers killed their mothers.

In addition to being a story of a loveable young orangutan who faces up to his mistake and works hard to save the day, Kiki the Orangutan also gives kids a set of simple yet meaningful actions they can undertake to protect the native habitats of the “man of the forest:” reduce, reuse and recycle; use green energy; plant a tree for a tree; buy certi¿ed woods and palm oil; support “save the orangutan” organizations.

*No book of Indonesian children stories is complete including the clever trickster kancil (mousedeer). In the charming Kancil Steals Cucumbers, the mousedeer enlists the services of the family dog to set himself free before he ends up in a stew.

Kiki the Orangutan: The Big Banana Festival by Arie Komalasari, Tuttle Publishing 2013, ISBN 978-080-484-3249, hardcover, 32 pages, dimensions 21.5 cm x 28 cm.

*From the Kei Archipelago in the Banda Sea comes The Frog about the brave and hardworking youngest child of a faithful widow, his ungrateful brothers, a tree spirit, a magic axe and the impossible demands of a princess who ¿nally wins the frog’s love.

Update Happy Chappy has to be one of the success stories of 2015. Basic Chinese, excellent and consistent quality, staff who actually understand the menu and speak English [Bali is an international tourist destination, a fact seemingly lost on many of the Java owners of Chinese restaurants in Bali], adequate parking, smoking and non-smoking areas, the décor traditional Chinese but without plastic chairs and tables, and prices that represent great value for money. It all sounds so simple but it took the trio of Aussie, Balinese and American to do it, the result is full houses, daily, and bookings only for their Sunday Dim Sum brunch.

Sang Choy Bau [pictured] is an old Cantonese dish, seen in all such restaurants in Australia but rarely in Bali. Originally, in Hong Kong, minced pigeon was used but now poultry is the most popular. It is so simple, but so good. Happy Chappy does it better than most using leaves of Cos lettuce [much better than the usual Iceberg] that act like giant spoons. The minced duck [or chicken] has been cooked in the wok with crushed water chestnuts, chawe and a drizzle of liquids. Spoon it onto a lettuce leaf and eat, with a smile. Sensational!

C/R/G-30 Sept. 15

Bebek Bengil continues to expand, in both Bali and Java. Their most recent opening is in Tuban [Jln. Raya Kuta], the 4th outlet in Bali, after Nusa Dua, GWK and the grand original in the rice paddies of Ubud. They now also have five outlets in Jakarta [Menteng, Tangerang, Kuningang, Kebayoran Lama and now also at Lippo Village in Tengerang].

Only a few restaurants in Bali, no matter how successful the original one was, have been able to maintain that standard in subsequent openings. To do so in Jakarta has proven to be even more elusive, in fact only the Sarong Group and Bebek Bengil have managed to successfully do both. The major menu item at Bebek remains their Ubud style Crispy Duck.

However often overlooked is the perfectly prepared Bebek Betutu [duck steamed in Balinese spices] a dish that I find to be amongst the world’s greatest dishes when done traditionally, rather than in the kitchen. It must only be a matter of time before the ‘Bebek’ experience is also transported to other ASEAN cities.

Furama is now open on The Bypass Ngurah Rai in Sanur. It is the latest to try its luck against what seems to be a curse on restaurants which open along this stretch. Many have deserved their fate but others have been of excellent quality and at what elsewhere would be considered to be reasonable prices, but almost all have failed. Furama is a Chinese restaurant [Cantonese cuisine as they almost all are in Bali] and specializing in live seafood, all displayed in the fish tanks that fill the front windows. This is the 3rd Furama [Raya Tuban and Sunset Road were the 1st two], and the 1st ‘live seafood’ in Sanur, so perhaps this one may work?

C/R/G-23 Dec. 15

My Greek Taverna will see the return of that man Marinos [supposedly retired?]. It is soon to open in central Lovina, and is sure to have an immediate effect on the dining habits of that area. When Marinos opened Mykonos on Jln. Laksmana [then surrounded by rice paddies] back in 2001, little did he know that he was ‘creating’ Eat Street. Mykonos Taverna was busy from day one and every other restaurateur in Bali followed him to that area, many of which failed dismally but the professional ones are still there today.

Le Bon Vivant will replace the long established La BaR’racca on Jln, Danau Tamblingan, Sanur, almost opposite the new Maya Sanur. French appears to be replacing Italian? La BaR’racca was originally one of the two Mama Lucia restaurants in Bali [the other was in Jln. Legian, Kuta], perhaps the first Italian restaurants that made at least some of their own pasta, back in the 1990’s.

Tiger Palm has opened in Seminyak Village. It is yet another outlet from the Sarong Group. The master street food chef, Will Meyrick, has done it again! Tiger Palm is like a mini MamSam, small tasty dishes from the street food of Asia. Needless to say it will be a success, just as all of his other restaurants have been. Food with taste, at a reasonable price, perfect for everyone!

MoVida are popular Spanish restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne. They are not traditional Spanish restaurants but rather modern international with Spanish traces. A sourdough cracker topped with an anchovy and a quenelle of smoked-tomato sorbet, a menu of 10 different sangrias, each based on a different tropical fruit are examples of their fare. MoVida Bali is soon to be found at Potato Head’s new beachfront hotel, Katamama.

Australian chef Frank Camorra suggests that some of the Bali dishes will include such creations as a pepita crisp with goat’s curd, local honey and Indonesian-grown macadamias.

He’s also using Indonesian Wagyu to make a tartar with a sesame-seed crisp and a taramasalata-like sauce using local fish roe.

Le Moulin is a creperie, on Raya Pengosekan, just south of Ubud in a small stretch of that road that houses a number of very busy good value restaurants, between the two bends. It is not far from what was Ubud’s 1st creperie, one that used to serve breakfast crepes from Brittany, for many of us locals, 15 years ago. Le Moulin offers a big range of crepes, some standard but most very unusual; stuffed with slices of duck, or beef tenderloin.

They also have vegetarian, fruit and a range of savoury crepes.

Massimo’s of Sanur celebrate an old Italian custom, ‘Befana or Epifania’, on Wednesday evening, January 6 [the ‘other’ Christmas day]. Custom has it that a very old and ugly lady dressed in black drops the final Christmas present into the children’s socks [your kids will love it]. Different Stations [hot, cold, grill and dessert] are set up all around the restaurant and grounds from where you can sample a vast array of that special Massimo cuisine.

This year there is no set price, as all will be charged a la carte. Bookings are essential.

YEAR END WRAP

The Wrap of 2015 As has been the norm in recent years hundreds of new restaurants opened across Bali this year. Sadly many were well meaning disasters, not even lasting the year out. So many people still believe that it is easy to open a restaurant and make millions. The experts can do that, but for most that is just an impossible dream.

However 2015 did see the arrival of many great restaurants, even a new cuisine or two [Bali having by far the largest variety of traditional cuisines in S.E. Asia]. Whilst the bulk of the good things all happened in either Ubud or the Kerobokan/ Seminyak districts the big shock of 2015 was staid old Sanur.

Bali’s original tourist area [before the surfing fraternity discovered Kuta] has in the past been memorable only for its almost uniform mediocrity, the handful of quality professional restaurants reaping all the rewards. Not anymore as 2015 saw an influx of new arrivals, some quite adventurous.

In Bali’s north there was little activity but that will all change early in 2016. In the popular fishing villages of the Amed strip in North East Bali the activity is always centred around the Lipah Beach area. Only new arrival of note was little Warung Pojok. A garden restaurant, up a small gang almost in front of Restaurant Gede, it caters for the local fishermen and beach boys, plus a few tourists who want to spend an evening as a local. The fare is the Bali favourite for the masses, Lalapan. Half a kampung chicken is deep fried and crisp, served with mounds of vegetarian lawar and rice. Eat with your hands and be a local.

Ubud once again became the centre for new restaurants after a few quiet years. Mandif Warokka opened Blanco par Mandif. He had made his name in Bali first at Banyan Tree then at the highly rated Teatro Gastroteque. Modern Indonesian cuisine in a fine dining setting in front of the Don Antonio Blanco Museum, a glass-fronted building on the side of the river valley. Strangely they do not accept walk-in customers, all must book first!

Spice by Chris Salans opened in central Ubud bringing back to the Kitchen Singaporean chef Abu Goh, the only chef who had been able to make Hu’u work as a restaurant. Their set menu for this upcoming festive season is an example of the tasty snacks and meals served here; Swordfish belly carpaccio, ginger soya, Kemangi & crispy tempe, Roasted slipper lobster, Suna Cekuh & Sambal Kecicang, Crispy quail, grilled vegetables & Ginger-Cassia Bark infused jus, Cocoa tart, spiced pumpkin ice cream.

The owner/chef of The Chandi tried his luck in Ubud with Arang Sate specializing with a variety of sates, some of which are served on hot stones. Another newcomer to Ubud was Watercress Café, the success story of Jln. Batu Belig, off Petitenget. Both have discovered that Ubud is a totally different, and more discerning, market to that of the south.

Another to venture to Ubud with a tried and tested product was the Sarong Group, with Hujan Locale, which has proved to be another success story for the Asian cuisine of Will Meyrick. Great dishes include a Kashmiri style roasted snapper, wrapped in banana leaf after being combined with

grown-ups’ and was our Best New Restaurant of 2015.

In the Cheap Eat Street of Jln. Goutomo is Ryoshi Group’s La-Mien, Ramen Noodles are what most come here for, a meal in a bowl for less than $5. Miso Chasiu Ramen is those noodles, greens and slices of pork confit in miso soup.

Shoyu Chasiu Ramen combines the ramen noodles extra slices of pork confit, a boiled egg and greens, in shoyu soup. Also many snacks [those wonderful Gyoza] and other light meals…the Best New Cheap Eat of Bali.

Red Bean is another Chinese restaurant from Jakarta. As usual with Chinese restaurants it has an enormous menu, mostly of Cantonese origin. Beef can be in strips, crumbed, in a tangy sauce, stir-fried with black pepper or minced with green beans. Chicken can be stir-fried with Kung Pao, crumbed and deep-fried with sweet and sour, lemon or chilli sauces or steamed with ginger. Prawns can be fried with chilli and salt, salted egg or mayonnaise or stir-fried with curry leaves. This group is from Java so no pork products [why when in Bali I will never understand, a Chinese restaurant without pork products is only, at best, half a restaurant!]

Bon Chon Chicken has arrived in Denpasar, at the roundabout on Teuku Umar. The Korean chicken chain that has been taking on the giant US franchises in the USA has now opened its 2nd Bali location [after its 1st at Beachwalk]. To remind you that the product was developed in Korea Kimchi [fermented cabbage with chilli] can be ordered as a side dish or even as a soup. Pakets with udon noodles and seafood offerings of crispy shrimp are menu extras to add to the basic fried chicken options.

Best Cheap Eat - La Mien

Kakiang, for many years the lone star bakery in the Ubud, and one of the most popular cafes in the area, expanded by opening a 2nd outlet, a garden café [utilizing the space to establish a much larger bakery] at Nagi Village, north of Andong. A proven product.

Along Raya Pengosekan at Ubud’s south an ever increasing number of budget-priced restaurants have been opening.

This year the cuisine choice increased with Budha Bowl, Asian food in a bowl from the same Thai owner/chef who operates the successful Warung Siam on Jln. Goutoma. Le Moulin is a French creperie, offering a big range of crepes, some standard but most very unusual; stuffed with slices of duck, or beef tenderloin. They also have vegetarian, fruit and a range of savoury crepes. Latest addition to this stretch is Yasmin, styled as Middle Eastern, under the same management as Ubud’s Cuban Havana. They offer Sisha Pipes with a variety of flavoured tobaccos as well as all day breakfasts and grills. They also have tagines even though they are North African, not Middle Eastern and Meze [from Turkey], very Mediterranean.

To the east where that road is still Jln. Hanoman, in the banjar of Padang Tegal, Monsieur Spoon, the French Bakery already established in Canggu, Umulas and Kerobokan has now opened an outlet [next to Ryoshi and Bebek Bengil]. Their specialty is their croissants, breads and quiches. Breakfast is eggs any which way with salmon, bacon, avocado or even a chicken burger. The very French Croque Monsieur [ham, cheese and béchamel sandwich] as well as the Croque Madame [same but with fried egg in top] are always available.

Along Hayam Wuruk many new coffee houses plus a surprise or two; Soul Kitchen offers live Jazz and Rock as well as a Toasted Sandwich that is definitely NOT Halal; bacon, ham, cheese, chicken and fried egg. The Spaghetti is, simply, with meat balls. The Beef Chinese style with black pepper. Old standards Fish & Chips and Chicken Kiev [leg de-boned and stuffed with garlic butter] makes a welcome re-appearance. Other unusual newcomer was Hang Out @ Renon. It is actually attempting Thai cuisine, and makes a surprisingly good job at that! The dishes have an Indonesian makeover with literal translations of the original Thai name, but the tastes are fairly original. So everyone’s favourite Thai entrée Gai Haw Bai Toey becomes Ayam Pandan as it actually is with tender pieces of marinated chicken wrapped in a pandanus leaf, first steamed to cook then deep-fried to brown and serve hot.

Nasi Krapao Ayam is minced chicken stir fried with chilli and served with rice, the famous breakfast dish of Krapao.

Urban Café is hidden behind the trees, but that has not stopped the discerning coffee visitor from finding the place.

It is located on Jln. Paputan, but hidden behind the trees, access is by the small side road, parking is easy. Coffee is served every which way but with a difference, ceramic cups on small wooden boards, on the side is that traditional Balinese sweet Laklak, a small rice pancake, a nice touch!

Wood-fired Pizzas are one of the main attractions and they offer an interesting mix of pizza creations, a Bacon Special [bacon, pepperoni, capsicum and onions], Piri-Piri Chicken, Hot Pastrami and BBQ chicken amongst them.

Restaurant Abels is found on Jln. Raya Penestanan, to the west of Ubud. It is an air-con restaurant run by locals with vast international experience. Chef/owner Harry Abels Budihardjo was previously at Mandif’s Teatro Gastroteque.

The menu includes Crispy Squid with cauliflower, torch ginger and chilli, Mackerel with daikon, tomato and mahi dumplings. The Fried Chicken is with lime, tamarind and pickled cabbage.

Best New Cuisine - Izakaya @ Kuu

Best Restaurant - Hujan Locale

curry leaves, garam masala and green chilli, the flavours delicate and well balanced. The star dish for me was their Pork Cutlet. The very large cutlet, still on the bone, was first marinated in soy, clove, honey and butter, then roasted in a wood oven, almost burnt on the outer but deliciously pink on the inner. On the side a watermelon and pickled radish salad with a ginger mirin [rice wine] vinaigrette. This is ‘food for

The Renon food loop, east of Denpasar, continues to see many new places open, and close. One of the best newbies has been Crispy Duck, the name of a dish that is revered by the Ubud Balinese and the many busloads of domestic tourists from Java and beyond, but viewed with a curious but slight puzzlement by western tourists. Whilst they do serve Crispy Duck it represents only about 2% of the large varied menu. They have a mix of many cuisines, starting with many salads and soups [Mee Siam, noodles in a soup with prawns, chilli and egg, Seafood Ramen and that Thai, now Bali, standard of Tom Yum Goong], There is also a complete range of Burgers including an unusual one of Pulled Duck, shredded duck meat with lettuce, cheese, onion and tomato in a sesame seed bun.

Sanur, the surprise packet of 2015, welcomed many new restaurants. At the impressive Maya Sanur there are 3 excellent restaurants. Best New Cuisine for Bali was the Izakaya [from Kyoto, Japan] at Kuu, small bites meant to be enjoyed whilst sipping premium Sake. They also have great Bento Boxes at lunch time. Graze is their all day restaurant, tasty snacks and light meals, and incredible cakes and pastries, all made in-house. Their Crostini is an easy to eat any day option, served on a board containing 4 slices of cold crunchy toast generously topped with mushrooms and truffle, sprinkled with Parmesan and an olive tapenade with many thin slices of red onion, tomato, basil and a squeeze of lemon, two of each. Very tasty, a perfect snack or entree!

Chicken & Pumpkin Cannelloni, Lamb Koftas and Beef and Dark Ale Pie are just some of the main offerings.

At the beachfront is Reef, the very Best New Seafood restaurant. Their Sesame Crusted Tuna sits on a bed of cold soba noodles that have been doused in a sauce of soy and mirin. Equally Best Seafood - Reef good was the red rice crusted Tasmanian Salmon on curried green pea puree with sea scallops and a kaffir coconut buerre blanc [pictured].

Best Fine Dining - La Bon Vivant

Not far away is the very new Le Bon Vivant. Chris Janssen has been earning rave reviews for his Le Quartier in Jakarta, he now brings that concept to Bali, and Sanur. Dark wood, table and floors, chandeliers and lace curtains. Eating at the bar for the sole diner, very French Bistro! Traditional French cuisine [with a few Belgian touches] as well as a few modern interpretations. A trio of Confits [duck and chicken legs as well as lamb shank], Coq au Vin and many wood fired grills. Unusual for Bali is the White Asparagus and Mussels [mariniere, provincale or poulette].

bar. To dry age the beef the units are set at 65% humidity.

The beef stays there for 14 days before being ground on the premises twice a day, No factory produced processed meat here, just taste the difference! The fish and vegetarian burgers are excellent too. The very Best Burgers.

Nearby at Canggu is the little Warung Dandelion offering tasty local fare at very cheap prices. The stylish Joglo is always busy, a popular destination. Close to The Canggu Club is the Japanese Doji, serving the food of Kyoto. A cold Soba noodle dish called Bukkake consists of chicken, deep-fried tofu, mushroom, grated radish, spring onion and Shiso “perilla” [leaves tasting of anise]. Very unusual, and a departure from Indonesia’s Nasi Goreng, is this version of Fried Rice. Simply called Dry Curry the fried rice has been cooked, until dry, in a fragrant curry broth and served topped with vegetable chunks.

Best Burgers - Butchers Club

Singapore’s Il Lido [Beppe de Vito] took over the old Warisan and now presents quality Italian in that pleasant garden setting. Amazing pasta was definitely their Gnocchi Pumpkin Gratin, the pasta actually served in a hollowed out pumpkin base. Not far behind was the Beef Agnolotti stuffed with a mix of mushrooms and gorgonzola. The main of Duck Trio comprises a crisp leg confit, tender smoked breast meat [perfectly pink] and foie gras.

Moving from Warisan was previous partner Cetin who opened the small quality Turkish restaurant, Istanbul, close by on Sunset Road. They offer many Boreks, there is quite a choice of them; Ispanakh [spinach & white cheese], Patatesly [potato, cheese and herbs] and Mantarli [sautéed mushrooms, cheese and herbs], all baked in the wood-fired oven at the front.

Republik 1946 is the latest attempt to present Indonesian cuisine in a fine dining presentation, in Bali. None of the previous offerings have worked but then this one is a bit more serious than those that have been and gone. In fact quality offerings of Indonesian food have been amazingly rare in Bali. The menu includes starters of Pangsit Bebek [duck in pastry], a version of Martabak [chicken, leeks and mushrooms in filo pastry], Tum Ayam [minced chicken] and Bali’s Ayam Pelaleh, shredded chicken in chilli and lime. Salads include Tempe Mangga, young mango with sweet soy cake, asparagus and shredded chicken doused with a peanut and lime dressing.

The Restaurant is at the new luxurious Alila Seminyak, on Jln. Petitenget, Kerobokan. Executive Chef Stefan Zijta is a highly credentialed and talented. For the past 5 years he has been presiding at Alila Uluwatu and now moves to their new prime location. Early days at this new restaurant but already interesting dishes are appearing. Small plates to snack at the beach; Quail egg and minced pork, tasty meat balls served in a black pepper sauce, Muc Don Thit is Vietnamese squid stuffed with minced pork or Pol Pang, Mandarin pancakes with duck jerky [shredded], cucumber and hoisin. A very unusual Smoked Tangerine Chicken, a liitle lemon juice added to balance the sweetness and cut the acid.

The old Hotel Sanur Beach has been upgraded and is now Prama Sanur Beach. 1st addition was the impressive Bamboo Bar, an eco-friendly beachfront building, amazing design and great budget-priced food. Definitely the Best New Bar Food in Bali.

Jamie’s Italian arrived in Kuta, beside the Hard Rock Hotel, bringing this world-wide chain of restaurants to Bali.

Showcasing the name and recipes of Jaimie Oliver. The fare is simple Italian. Entrees include a range of bruschettas [balsamic-roasted cherry tomatoes with whipped ricotta and basil], antipasti [fried balls of porcini risotto with fontina, mozzarella & arrabbiata] and salads [trevisse, chicory & baby beets with crunchy walnuts & aged balsamic]. Planks are what you normally find on a building site but here they are small boards offering food for one, not to be shared; two styles with either Cured Meats [Prosciutto di Parma, fennel & garlic salami, mortadella & bresaola] or Vegetables [sliced, chargrilled & marinated, served with bocconcini, pecorino & chilli jam, pickles, olives & crunchy salad].

Kahala is a famous beach on the south-eastern coast of Hawaii. No doubt there are a few Kahala Beach Grill bars there but now we also have one in Bali. It is located on Sunset Road, 50m west of Imam Bonjol, the inside décor bright and blue, sand scenes and hula girls. Hawaiian cuisine tends to pay homage to all the ethnic backgrounds of today’s Hawaii, it includes some very interesting and different ingredients and combinations. SPAM, the American canned pork product, so loved in England that it even made it to a Monty Python sketch, is featured in many local Hawaiian dishes, particular the popular anytime snack of Musubi, a sushi-like combination; a thin slice of grilled SPAM topped with a wedge of rice and wrapped in seaweed, unusual but tasty.

Bebek Bengil continues to expand, in both Bali and Java.

Their most recent opening is in Tuban [Jln. Raya Kuta], the 4th outlet in Bali, after Nusa Dua, GWK and the grand original in the rice paddies of Ubud. Crispy Duck and the wonderful Betutu are the star attractions.

The year of 2016 promises to be more of the same! Already confirmed is the return of that man Marinos [who effectively created Eat Street with his immediately successful Mykonos Taverna 15 years ago] with his My Greek Taverna in central Lovina. Movida, popular Spanish restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne, move into the new Potato Head Hotel. Happy Chappy opens outlet No. 2, in Canggu. Also in Canggu Como Shambhala may be ready to open what was Sea Sentosa. A sneak preview of the recently opened Tiger Palm, in Seminyak Village, suggests another success for the Sarong Group, to be fully reviewed early in 2016.

World’s first vaccine for Dengue

Launches Mexico Jan 2016 says French Drugmaker Dengue is endemic in Indonesia with Bali and Jakarta high on the places you are most likely to get it. Most of the expats I’ve come across in Bali have had it once, if not twice. I know I have, and so has my wife. I don’t know why, but it seems to have got a lot more prevalent and a lot more virulent in the last few years. In my case I had 15 years clear where I gave it nary-a-thought and then got zapped twice. Second time my platelets dropped like a stone to 18, which is de¿nitely Indian country, before bouncing back.

It all looks good. In clinical trials, the company says the vaccine prevented nine out of 10 cases of severe dengue and eight out of 10 hospitalisations in people aged nine to 16. The Mexican regulator has therefore approved its use in people between nine and 45 living in endemic areas.

The million-dollar question for us here is, when will Indonesia get it? It is sorely needed here, so why should Singapore and Malaysia get it before Indonesia? How many Indonesians and others living here will die of dengue before the vaccine is made available? Nobody is saying and the suspicion is that it’s all a question of money, with an added dash of inertia.

Quite when Indonesia, where tests for the new vaccine had been conducted, would be able to make the vaccine available is hard to establish, which is not encouraging in view of the increasing incidence and deaths due to dengue in this country.

Worldwide an estimated 50 million to 100 million people a year are stricken by dengue, though that is almost certainly an underestimate.

PARADISE...

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH C/He/I-25 Nov 15

C/He/G-28 Oct. 15

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

SHINGLES (Ouch!)

In just a matter of weeks I have had two cases of Shingles present to me at my clinic...could there be an outbreak? Not likely. This is not a contagious disease but rather a childhood virus (Chickenpox or Varicella) that returns to haunt us when we are in our senior years, when we our immune systems are lowered or when we are under an undue amount of stress.

What is shingles?

Shingles is a painful rash, usually taking 2-4 weeks to settle, that occurs most often on one side of the body.

Symptoms • The ¿rst symptoms of shingles are often intense pain, burning or tingling on an area of skin on the trunk or face.

This may be associated with a general feeling of being unwell or a fever.

• After 2 to 3 days, a painful red rash appears on this area of skin, often distributed in a band across one side of the body or face.

• The rash begins as a group of small red bumps that quickly become Àuid-¿lled blisters.

• The Àuid in these small blisters then becomes cloudy, and they break open to form a crusty surface.

• After about 5 days, no further blisters appear, although it can take up to 5 weeks for the skin to heal and return to normal.

• The rash can be very painful. Even a gentle breeze or a light touch can cause strong pain.

Causes Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (varicella zoster virus). After someone has recovered from chickenpox, the virus remains in their body, in an inactive state in the nerves that supply sensation to the skin. Years or decades later, in about 10 to 20 per cent of people who have had chickenpox, the inactive virus will become active again. When reactivated, the virus multiplies and spreads along the nerve it has been occupying, to the area of skin supplied by that nerve, where it causes the pain and rash of shingles.

catch shingles from someone else who has shingles. You can only get shingles if you have had chickenpox in the past.

What triggers the chickenpox virus to become active again and cause shingles is not clearly understood. However, it is thought that some decrease in the strength of your immune system (even if only temporary, such as can occur with a cold) is needed to allow activation of the virus.

(Be aware that you can transmit chickenpox from your shingles to someone who has not had chickenpox previously or who has not been vaccinated against it.

Pregnant women who have never been immunised against chickenpox or had chickenpox should avoid contact with anyone who has shingles for this reason.)

Risk factors The risk of getting shingles increases as you get older, especially once past the age of 50. This tendency for shingles to occur in later life may reÀect the slight weakening of the immune system that occurs as we age.

People who have a severe illness such as cancer or whose immune system is weak are at increased risk of developing shingles. For example, people who have AIDS, who are taking medication that suppresses their immune system following an organ transplant, or who are having radiation treatment or chemotherapy for cancer, can develop shingles more easily than people whose immune system is healthy.

When the immune system is damaged or suppressed, shingles can be severe with an increased likelihood of complications.

Treatment Antiviral medication has the best results if started within 3 days of the rash appearing. It will not stop shingles occurring, but can make it last a shorter time and lessen its severity.

Antiviral medication may also reduce the risk of continuing pain after the rash has settled (a complication of shingles called post-herpetic neuralgia). So, if you think you have shingles, visit your doctor as soon as possible, so you can be prescribed antivirals.

The higher the root of the nerve, the nastier the symptoms.

For example if it appears on the skin over the nerves that supply the neck and the face, the symptoms can be more troublesome that if it affects the lower back.

Over-the-counter pain-relieving medications such as paracetamol may be needed. Cool wet compresses with colloidal silver can help with the itch and oral supplements of Lysine can also help.

How do you get shingles?

Shingles is not contagious, in the sense that you do not

Complications of shingles Approximatly half of those over 50 who have shingles

experience continuing nerve pain called post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). PHN can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition, sometimes making it dif¿cult for a person to carry out their usual daily tasks and resulting in weight loss, depression and a loss of independence. It starts after the rash has settled and can last from a few weeks to months or years.

Shingles that affects the eye can result in temporary or permanent loss of sight in the affected eye. If you have shingles that is affecting your eye you will usually be referred to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) for treatment.

Occasionally shingles can affect the ear and damage your hearing.

Prevention There is a vaccine available for adults aged 50 years or older, called Zostavax, (This is not available in Indonesia) that can help prevent shingles and its complications. While being vaccinated cannot guarantee that you won’t get shingles, it does reduce the probability.

Among those who do get shingles despite being immunised, the vaccine can reduce the pain associated with shingles and help prevent post-herpetic neuralgia. The vaccine is not intended to treat people who already have shingles.

Zostavax protects against shingles for approximately 10 years. (Be warned this vaccine is expensive at about AUD $250).

A vaccine that protects people from getting chickenpox is also available for healthy adults and children older than 9-12 months. Children and adults who are not immune to chickenpox (generally this means they have never had chickenpox) have the option of receiving this vaccine.

Beauty & Health

By Shari

TIS THE SEASON OF BEAUTY The holiday season is upon us with parties, family gatherings and romantic encounters for Christmas and New Year’s Eve; everyone desiring to look your best with glowing faces, shiny nails, shining hair and eyes and smooth soft skin. Here are a couple of great places to visit to look beautiful for the holidays.

asked if I preferred for her to use a Credo (razor) or just the foot ¿le. Personally I don’t like the Credo because it slices off layers of dead skin, which is great if you have thick dead calluses but there is the danger of cutting too deep and drawing blood. Plus I ¿nd afterwards that the layers of skin become uneven unless the skin has been ¿led smooth.

Walking into the new ultra modern Seminyak Village boutique shopping mall I forgot for a few minutes that I was in Bali but had been magically teleported to Singapore. It was refreshingly cool inside, a nice escape from the tropical heat. I had come to check out the latest chic nail salon Vita Luxe on the second Àoor.

Promoted as a Parisian design concept the spacious elegant salon is decked out in classic black and white with the staff in pseudo French maid out¿ts for the females and porters for the males.

I keep a pumice stone in my shower which I use regularly to keep the soles of my feet smooth. I appreciated her asking me before beginning her plan of attack on the soles of my feet.

The owner Livita has always admired Parisian styles and wanted to express her love of black and white. Their full service includes: manicures, pedicures, nail polish, nail art and nail extensions, mink eye lash extensions and hair removal with waxing and threading. Their waxing service uses two types of wax, soft for most of the body and hard for more sensitive areas like the face, underarms and bikini.

I prefer using gel on my nails simply because the polish is stronger and lasts much longer without chipping plus after setting under UV light the polish is dry so you don’t need to be careful touching things immediately after completing.

The staff have undergone three months of training to give professional service that is sure to please you. This is the only nail salon I know that employs men to do nails. There’s a small café in front of the salon so you can order drinks and snacks to enjoy during your treatment. You can book an appointment online and they offer free pickup service within the area.

Climbing Batur: Seeing is Believing There’s something mystical and intrinsically atavistic about erupting volcanoes. In November 2015, Bali was surrounded by three angry volcanoes all along Indonesia’s arc of ¿re whose mantles of spewing ¿re and smoke threatened Àights in the whole region. The eruption of Bromo in neighboring East Java and Rinjani on Lombok caused a total closure of Bali’s airport for three days with estimated losses of Rp50 billion.

Our own Mount Batur in northern Bangli Regency, the most sacred mountain on Bali after Mount Agung, blows off steam and ¿ery lava on a regular basis. When this 1,717-m behemoth erupts glowing red, bellowing and throwing out rocks and showers of volcanic debris - drop everything and get up here to see it. If the weather is clear, spectacular views of the mountain’s smoking cone can be observed from a safe distance over morning coffee.

Mount Batur Panorama Rainhard Findling

When it’s not acting up, Batur’s only sign of life is an occasional cotton-roll wisp of smoke that drifts across its lava-blackened slopes. This is of course the opportune time for the exciting and adventurous two-hour climb up the mountain in the pitch black for a mesmerizing view of the sunset when layers of mists lift from the shining lake and roll across the crater like a mammoth white and gray curtain. Though not overly dif¿cult, this non-technical climb is de¿nitely not ‘easy.’ Hope for a clear day without clouds.

Whether it’s a private tour for two or a group of up to 6-7 people, you arrive in the parking lot “base camp” where a multitude of guides mill about in the shadows and hundreds of climbers gather to undertake this celebrated tourist tradition. In the peak season, you don’t really need a guide. Just follow the long line of lights held by hikers like ants. Up to 500 people may be climbing at the same time, though an average day numbers around 200 struggling to the top in a long winding procession.

Pushy guides will force you to hire a guide and might even stop you by force if you’re without one. Private guides, who normally cost Rp300,000 to Rp350,000 per person (no haggling), can help you ¿nd your way out of the clouds that can envelop the slopes without warning. Though the way is well trodden, well marked and well maintained, runoffs may lead to cliff edges and dead ends causing you to backtrack.

Some of these experienced professional guides have made legends of themselves. The best of these mountain men are punctual, fun, helpful and knowledgeable about Bali’s culture and the volcano. They will carry your pack, offer a hand, crack jokes along the way to make the whole trip less daunting and hang back to take care of slower climbers to ensure that all make it up to at least the ¿rst stop point, while pushing the ¿tter of the group to the summit. It’s unnerving to hike up sweating and gasping for breath while your nimble guide scrambles up puf¿ng away on cigarettes and wearing only plastic thongs!

Climbing It The climb can be attempted at all hours and from several directions. As a rule, the widest, most obvious and worn path, not necessarily the most direct, is the safest and fastest way to the top. From whichever starting point, the climb ends in the same general area. Some ascend up one route and descend on another. The hike from the parking lot is the most popular.

Locals will even follow you up in hopes you’ll buy one of their overpriced soft drinks (Rp25,000/bottle).

Even if you start as late as 4 am, you can still make it up the scoria and pumice-strewn slope to the peak in time for the sunrise. Yet if you arrive late on the long drive from the south and start the

climb at 6 to 7 am, it’s wonderful to miss the traf¿c jam and be the only ones on the top enjoying the peaceful bird’s eye view unhindered by the crowds of people you passed climbing down the mountain who had peaked earlier to view the sunrise.

Batur is physically demanding but de¿nitely manageable - the easiest of Bali’s volcanoes to climb. If you have a moderate level of ¿tness, it won’t be a problem. But tackle the mountain only in g o o d w e a t h e r. O n overcast days, though cooler, the clouds hover real low and this will de¿nitely dampen your experience. Not recommended in December-March rainy season.

The ¿rst 15 minutes are a gentle gradient, easy on the legs with no struggling through vegetation. About midway up the terrain then quite suddenly becomes considerably steeper. Not for someone with sickness or dodgy knees. After hundreds of years of volcanic activity, the path is littered with treacherous small stones that can make you slip and fall. Follow the snake line of torches ahead and behind. You may ¿nd yourself scrambling hastily because of so many other more experienced climbers waiting behind you on the narrow path. In a few sections you might even have to get down on all fours. The towering mountain may be hidden by dense fog, revealing the summit momentarily, then enclosing it again.

There are a few places with scree and large steps to negotiate.

Guides give you an option of climbing nearly to the top or pressing ahead to the summit. This extra 200 m over scree and loose stone is hard. Even at the halfway point beyond the forest you will still have a wonderful sunrise views. It always amazes people to ¿nd a tiny hut protected from the elements at the top of Batur’s north crater where hot coffee, drinks and snacks are provided for tired climbers.

Climbers are guided to the sandy top of the middle crater from where they walk the narrow ledges along the rim and can even take the chilling trail down inside the echoing crater. Batur’s topmost crater to the north is another half-hour’s walk along a lip only one meter wide and where the view isn’t as ¿ne. During the high season the hundreds of people on the summit stay on average 45 minutes. It’s not a solitary experience unless you wander away from your group and induce panic in your guide.

The sky turns many colors while stars are still discernable at the same time. Walk around and enjoy the moment. Everyone on the summit is in good spirits.

Peer into the exalted volcano’s steaming core. Sit awhile on the warm rocks. Watch the monkeys run around, but take care of your food, bottles of water and other stuff that may take their fancy. These mischievous monkeys regularly steal tourists’ breakfasts.

The sun on the horizon slowly lights up the whole lake, allowing you to enjoy what you could not see climbing up in the total darkness. The sweeping panorama takes in rivers of lava diverted by huge boulders and all-black lava tubes and parasitic cones.

Houses dot the shimmering lake’s shore. Through the clouds you can see three peaks all in a row and the sun rising over imposing Mt. Agung, Bali’s highest mountain. Catch glimpses of Mount Rinjani on Lombok to the east. Though Rinjani is twice as high, Batur’s sunrise even trumps Rinjani’s.

Practicalities If you book a tour through a trekking company, or travel in your own transport, the 4-hour up-and-back climb can be made in a single day from south Bali. If you want to see the sunrise on top, get an early start. I mean EARLY. Tour agency drivers pick you up at in south Bali – Ubud, Seminyak, Sebatu. Candidasa or anywhere else - at 1:30 am or at the latest 2 pm. You have to get

up even earlier if you’re staying in Nusa Dua. As an example, if you leave Ubud at 2 am, you get to the base of the mountain at around 3:30 am and arrive at the cool summit just in time for the sunrise.

If you rent a car, ask your driver to pick you up at your hotel or residence - Rp350,000 to Rp850,000 per day, depending on your connections - for the 2 to 1.5-hour two-hour drive. Make sure you get enough sleep as rising so early will mess with your body clock.

If you want to sleep in and still make the climb, leave Ubud at 6:30 am, get to Penelokan an hour later, then descend down to the lake and start your ascent by 8 am. You’ll be back down to the lake by noon.

No matter the weather, comfortable and supportive shoes or sturdy runners are essential. The climb can be done in sandals, but annoying stones get under your feet and it can be slippery and risky near the top. You’ll be perspiring and it can get quite chilly and windy on the summit waiting for the sunrise, so wear long pants and warm layer clothing, including a light windbreaker or sweatshirt. Bring hat, torch (Àashlight), a liter of water with electrolytes to prevent heatstroke, sunscreen and toilet tissue (be ready to pee in bushes). Don’t wear contact lenses; sand and wind are a dangerous combination.

The going price for joining a tour is Rp300,000 to Rp350,000 per person and up to Rp650,000 to Rp850,000 per group of 6-7 people. Online bookings can cost as much as Rp500,000 per person. Many people let their hotels book through one of the countless specialized tour companies whose drivers collect clients at accommodations in southern Bali with a short stop for refreshments along the way. At the top, hot chocolate, tea or coffee, bread and hard-boiled egg are provided. Bring you own food if you are picky. For unescorted climbers, drinks and breakfast on the summit costs Rp30,000-Rp50,000.

Numerous tour agencies can be found on Ubud’s main road Jl. Raya Ubud. Look for the “sunrise trekking” sign. One recommended out¿t is Bali Eco Tours. Tours typically include transport, breakfast, Àashlight, walking guide, sunrise and snacks. They could also make extra stops at paddy ¿elds and cottage industry where you can see batik, silver and goldsmiths and woodcarvers at work and perhaps at a coffee plantation for a coffee tasting.

The dry trail back down the mountain is dusty, sandy and slippery on account of so little rain this year. If you intend to stay in the Batur region for just a day, get down from the summit to Toya Bungkah by 1:30 or 2 pm to allow time to bathe in the cool lake or in the hot springs. Not the angelic natural waters that you might have in you mind, the hot spring’s swimming pools are in dire need of a clean. Massages available. Public transport back up to Penelokan starts to get scarce around 4 or 5 pm.

If you stay the night in Penelokan up on the outer rim, you’ll awaken to an unforgettable sight and a peerless vantage point for photography. Heaps of scenic restaurants offer a buffet lunch (some vegetarian dishes). Be prepared for a steep price - around Rp200,000 per person - for very average food. What you’re really paying for is the sensational view.

It’s not everyday that you can have lunch while gazing out at an aweinspiring active volcano. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2015 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

Say What?

C/Ho/G-25 Nov. 15

Question: I’m a 25-year-old woman with a great husband and a horrible mother-in-law. This woman pushes our boundaries in wild and absurd ways - like throwing tantrums while she stares me down, crying furiously with her eyes wide open, and telling me that all she has ever wanted has been for me to love her. Pretty much anything can set her off.

This is the only issue my husband and I have fought about repeatedly. Recently though, after some extra-egregious tantrums, he has started going to therapy and has even had a few sessions with the whole family. He loves his mother, and I’m trying to stay out of the way of his working hard to construct a semblance of a decent relationship with her. He says I will undermine his efforts if I don’t at least show up for all the prescribed family holidays and act pleasant.

The rest of the family is usually really nice to me, until his mother has a meltdown and gets angry. When she pitches a fit, they fall in with her victimhood language and blame my husband or me for hurting her. One of the family’s favorite guilt trips to lay on me is, “Total lack of boundaries is ‘just how this family is.’” Just because I married into this, does it mean I have to learn to roll with it?

Am I insulting the family by saying I find my mother-in-law intrusive, etc., etc.?

Dr. ZZ: : Here are a few underlying principles that may help you in this situation: 1. You cannot control her behavior. 2.

You cannot predict her behavior. 3. You cannot prevent her behavior. This is the way she is, and she is not going to stop, change, or get better. She may mellow with age, but she will always be somewhat like this.

Once you figure out that you are doing nothing to cause her behavior, and that she reacts like this to everything, you are free from her guilt-trips. You are also free to tell her that it scares you when she acts this way, and that it makes you not want to be around her. You are likewise free to repeat yourself to the family when they start treating you as if it’s your fault and not something inappropriate that your mother-in-law does. You are free, and you have the power because you have more self-control. Permanently offended people lose power because it eventually becomes absurd for them to be that offended all the time.

You and your husband seem to be on the right track. It’s just going to take time for things to reset. It would be wise for you to limit your exposure to her, to negotiate which holidays you spend with his family, and to limit visits to a certain amount of time, say 3 hours. Your husband needs to be the one who handles all family details and

communications. Your mantra for his mother is “Sorry, you’ll have to talk to (Hubby’s name).” Likewise, if the family insults you in front of him, he needs to rise to the occasion and say, “Hey, that’s out of line. Apologize, or we’re leaving.” He’s the one with the outlandish family; he needs to be the buffer. Encourage him to stick with therapy, and back him up and thank him when he bears the brunt of his mother’s hostility.

Question: Nearly 3 years ago, I got dumped. It’s not the first time I’ve been dumped, but it was the only time I’ve been in love. I still dream about her and find myself missing the conversations we used to have. I want to write to her and ask her if there’s any chance she’d give it another try, but I know I have to move on.

I’ve been on a couple of dates, but, while the women were perfectly nice, I don’t feel the need to see them again. I’m probably not quite ready to date again, but after 3 years, what’d it going to take? I want someone to cook for, to eat with, to watch movies with, to hold and be held by, to kiss and be kissed by. I want to happy, and I want to share it, but I have no idea how to get there from here. I feel lost. Thanks for your time.

Dr. ZZ: You want someone to love, and you will have it. You get it by meeting more people and going out on more dates.

Two dates in three years with two women that went nowhere is nothing. They were just giving you information about who you like, and who is not for you.

Go out, meet more people, and get out of you head. Find something you like to do that meets regularly, like sports, art classes, cooking classes, language lessons, volunteer work, things like that. Some of the people you meet there may be women who are interested in dating you; some may be cool new friends; some may introduce you to other cool people, or places to go, or women who are interested in dating you. You can’t be goal-oriented, or you’ll ruin the fun.

Throw yourself into something new, and please do not write to your ex-girlfriend. Trust your instincts and do not contact her. After three years, this isn’t about her anymore. Your memories have made a hologram of her in your head, and going back over and over that hologram has become a pattern. It may be wise to talk with a counselor about how to break that habit. You do not have to keep feeling like this.

You are terrifyingly amazing and worthy of everything good, including love.

GARDEN DOCTOR

and may also make it more acidic. Short term use is ok, but long term it’s best to use natural slow release fertilisers.

Compost is the easiest thing to use, just sprinkle it around the soil. Seaweed foraged from the beach is another good natural fertiliser. Dried grass clippings will also add a kick off nitrogen into your soil.

Improving Soil

Mulching is like putting a lid on your soil. It is a material that you will add that will suppress weeds from growing up, it will reduce moisture loss from evaporation, and if organic will contribute nutrients or fertiliser to the soil as it breaks down.

by Dr. Kris

‘Dear Dr. Kris, Long time dream to garden. I ¿nally am actually settled enough to explore this now. But where to begin. I’m doing a lot of youtubing. Some questions: Suggestions for prepping the soil – I’m using a rice paddy - very dry clay. I am confused - compost, mulch, fertiliser, potting soil? Yup - absolute beginner. What should I buy and where?

Thanks, Tanya from Ubud.’

It can all sound too confusing for a beginner, knowing where to start, it can possibly even make your head start to spin. All of the components mentioned, (soil type, compost, mulch and fertiliser), will interact to produce a healthy garden, the best way to approach the task of preparing your soil and developing a garden is to compartmentalise each task, then it won’t be so overwhelming.

The ¿rst issue to approach is the clay soil. Clay soils are nutrient rich, compact with poor aeration and drainage, they easily become waterlogged, great for a rice paddy! Not so great for a garden. All types of soil can support plants, but if you plant something that requires good drainage into a heavy clay soil, you will have wasted your time and money, because it will almost certainly underperform or die.

Compost is simply decomposed organic matter. You can easily make it at home, but it may take weeks to months, so if you need it now go out and buy some, most nurseries stock it in large bags. In Indonesia it is called Kompos, that makes it easy!

Try Temesi compost at Kopernik in Ubud or check their website www.temesirecycling.com for other locations and/or delivery.

You can buy it by the truckload and have it delivered. I wouldn’t bother with potting mix, unless you are planning on growing plants in pots, even then I would still mix it with compost to improve it.

The best way to improve any soil type is to add large amounts or organic matter or compost, this applies to any soil type clay or sandy. Add anything available such as compost, manure, seaweed, garden clippings, vegetable scraps, dry leaves, even shredded newspaper. Spread your organic matter on top of the

soil, and fork it in. From the ¿rst addition your soil will continue to improve. The bed can be planted as long as you keep adding organic matter regularly, progressively improving the soil’s structure. Clay soils usually have a higher pH (alkaline). Plants to grow in clay: Roses, some orchids, bamboo, ferns, yucca’s, hydrangeas, heliconias, aster, cabbages, potatoes, some fruit trees – de¿nitely not root crops (carrots).

Gypsum, otherwise known as clay breaker is a quick ¿x used on clay soils, but I would not recommend it in your case, you may end up damaging the soil and your plants may not grow well. If you must, add no more than 100g of gypsum per square meter of soil, long term compost will be your best option incorporated into the soil to improve it, it will contribute vital nutrients, is a natural fertiliser, and is often referred to as a soil amendment because it will transform your soil. Quality compost changes everything and will have an amazing effect on your plants. Long term consider getting a compost bin and producing your own. All your kitchen scraps and garden clippings can be turned into compost, literally recycling nutrients back into your garden, and saving space in the land¿ll!

De¿nitely don’t buy potting mix to put into the soil or garden bed. Potting mixes are generally very light and airy, and will dry out too quickly after watering. I would avoid potting mix unless you are planning on growing in containers, and even then I would mix it with compost before planting. A well balanced compost has the right combination of drainage, nutrients and aeration. It is nutrient rich, will retain water, but not to the detriment of aeration, as in a clay soil.

Fertilisers can be natural or synthetic. Overuse of synthetic chemical fertiliser will lead to higher salt content in your soil

The easiest mulch is dried leaves. Sweep them up until you have a bag full then spread it around the garden. If the weeds grow up through the mulch then it is not thick enough, otherwise you can put a few sheets of newspaper down ¿rst and overlay that with dry leaves. Never mulch right up to the trunks or stems of trees and plants as you may encourage fungus and other diseases to develop. Inorganic mulches, such as coloured pebbles, gravel or rocks can be attractive, they will not decompose so you will never need to replace them, but at the same time they will not add nutrient content to your soil.

Encapsulating all of the above into a few steps, I recommend: Add compost to your soil to improve it. Once ready start planting, then mulch around the plants to retain water and suppress weeds. You can also add a little fertiliser to promote growth and reduce transplant shock, but it is not necessary especially if compost has already been added. Then just keep adding compost or other organic matter, such as garden clippings every few months. It’s actually pretty simple when you break it down into a few steps.

Trying to change the soil conditions is a long term process and can be achieved over time, but not over a few weeks, You must integrate organic matter into the soil as much as possible, then you will have a balanced soil that will attract earthworms and other organisms to work, aerate and improve the structure, whilst depositing nutrients. In this way any soil will improve over time. Don’t forget the kompos!

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz)

www.moessongallery.com

By Ayu Spicy These special morning potatoes spruce up a holiday or birthday breakfast and can be started the day before. I prefer roasted bell peppers to raw and keep them in my freezer so they are always available. If you can’t ¿nd fresh tarragon, use dried but cut the amount in half. This is an easy recipe to double and leftovers keep for days.

Christmas Morning Potatoes

Serves 4

Ingredients: - 5 - medium sized potatoes, scrubbed and skins left on - 2 - 3 Tbl. olive oil - 1 medium sized yellow onion - chopped - 5 cloves garlic - thinly sliced - 1/2 cup roasted red and green bell peppers - chopped - 2 Tbl. fresh tarragon leaves, chopped - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped - salt and pepper to taste - 1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley for garnish Directions: The day before you plan on eating these, ¿ll a large pot with water and add 2 tsp. of salt. Add the potatoes, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Let the potatoes simmer until just soft when

pierced by a fork. Drain and set aside to cool. Store covered in the fridge until the next morning. When you are ready to cook these, cut the potatoes into large cubes - 2-3cm square, keeping the skins on. This is approximate and you will have odd shapes as well as squares. Set aside.

C/Ho/G-30 Sept. 15

Heat 2 Tbl. of the oil in a large frying pan. When it’s hot add the chopped onions and garlic slices and fry over a low Àame for 15 minutes or until they turn soft and have a delicious caramel color. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook another minute or two. Scrape the onion mixture into a small bowl and set aside, leaving the oil behind in the pan.

Return the pan to the heat and add the potatoes. Add more oil if necessary and brown the potato cubes on each side. This will take about 20mins to make them nice and brown. Add the onion mixture and stir gently. Now add the tarragon and parsley, salt and pepper, giving it a thorough stir.

Spoon the potatoes onto a serving dish or bowl and garnish with more chopped parsley.

Enjoy your breakfast!

HECTOR’S A Christmas Story This week we observe the of¿cial birthday – though of course its date is wholly notional – of one of Islam’s leading saints, the nabi Isa al-Mahdi, whom Muslims also honour as the Messiah. In the Christian rite, it is Christmas, the nativity of Jesus, born of a virgin mother. To Christians, Jesus is the Son of God. To Muslims that very notion is anathema. To those of the Jewish faith, Jesus was a rebellious and schismatic rabbi with whom their religious leaders dealt expediently by getting someone else to do away with him. That is a practice that is still with us. Defenestration, actual or metaphorical, has an unrivaled place in political tradition.

Thanks to Mammon and his right-hand man Capital over the last century and a half, fuelled by the rise of rampant consumerism, Christmas has become an occasion for Bacchanalian excess. This secular Christmas has nothing to do with religion, or with faith except for the widespread belief that it’s the one time of the year when you might get something for nothing. Santa and his elves, like the timing of the feast itself, are borrowed at one remove from Old Europe’s pagan rites of midwinter. In the same way, Easter, which marks the death and resurrection of Christ, coopted the pagan spring festival of its original Greek and Roman times. Neither of these occasions was religious in the terms most people of faith would accept today. Not to put too ¿ne a point on it, they were occasions for a good deal of romping and a whole lot of rumpy-pumpy. And jolly good fun all that must have been. You could say then that the wheel has just about turned full circle, especially, as an instance, in tourist areas of Thailand where to suggest that the elves are merely outré would be to unduly favour understatement as a conversational arti¿ce.

The same invitation to overlay a patina of sexuality on everything – perhaps this is the single most signi¿cant success, if such it be, of capital-fuelled consumerism – is seen well beyond the pagoda-strewn landscapes of Old Siam.

Elves whose moral inÀuence probably wouldn’t stand scrutiny are a commonplace in Bali’s overeat, overdrink and badly misbehave tourist precincts. They have even been known to appear in certain parts of Lombok, the island of a thousand mosques. The birthday of the Prophet is a much more important Islamic date. This year, on the lunar Sunni calendar, it’s on Christmas Eve.

All-abuzzZZZZ We’re spending Christmas in Australia this year, not because we want to but because there are some family matters with which we and other people must deal. It is the ¿rst time in ages that we’ve been in the Odd Zone when the customary somnolence of the place, which is hard enough to bear anyway, gives way to six weeks or more of summer holidays and to something that closely approximates catalepsy. To be fair, many continental Europeans do the same sort of thing in August – try getting pain au chocolat of any decent quality in Paris (it’s dif¿cult: everyone is août, and not just to lunch) – but the Aussies take leisure even more seriously over their own big sleep. Unless it’s cricket or tennis, or they’re murdering prawns on a BBQ or getting zapped by stingers at the beach, forget it. The conÀuence of Christmas and New Year with the southern summer makes this possible, and it’s no bad thing, unless you want something done.

There are some things we need to get done. But we’ll do these ourselves. Our aim is to get home as quickly as possible. We have to see where the roof has decided to leak this year. Since it has now been raining properly, El Niño notwithstanding, our return might be quite revealing. Merry Christmas!

Hannigan’s Wake Well, no, not raconteur and history writer Tim Hannigan’s.

He surely has time for a goodly number of books yet, though we did hear from him of the sad event: the death in Malang on Dec. 13 of Benedict Anderson, the Cornell University scholar who became one of the most inÀuential voices in the ¿elds of nationalism and Southeast Asian studies. He was 79. Anderson is best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: ReÀections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Its much-debated thesis is that nationalism is largely a modern concept rooted in language and literacy.

Its publisher, Verso, says the book has been translated into more than two-dozen languages.

His early specialization in Indonesia gave us a near-forensic analysis of the 1965 coup – he wrote it with fellow scholar Ruth McVey – and led to him being banned from the country until 1999. The Cornell Paper, as it came to be

Bali Advertiser

known, suggested that the coup was not the consequence of an abortive communist uprising but of premeditated action by the army. Such assessments were not encouraged in post-coup Indonesia, and still aren’t. Perhaps Karma played a part in Anderson’s outlasting both General Suharto and his New Order regime. Hannigan also writes on Indonesia, with a light style and a strong sense of narrative as the essential ingredient in popular reading. His latest is A Brief History of Indonesia (Tuttle, 2015) and it’s very good. His 2012 book on British bureaucrat-imperialist Stamford RafÀes – RafÀes and the British Invasion of Java (Monsoon Books) – should have earned him that year’s Really Stinky RafÀesia Prize from the British Society of Wholesome Hagiographers. That’s if such an out¿t existed, which it probably should. Tif¿n ladies?

The Great Game While we’re in the mood for long shadows and long drinks, we should mention a little Facebook post we saw recently.

It had been posted by Patricia Morley Brown on the Ubud Community page and told us this: “ Croquet time again on Monday at Dewangga Bungalows from 9.30. Snack n Chat about 11.00 and there’s talk that there will be birthday cake this week for someone who turns 71. This week’s pics of magazine covers from 1918 and 1920s.” We played croquet once. In about 1954 from memory, when we were just short of 10 and lodging temporarily, en famille, with an uncle in the Misty Isles who was the vicar of a lovely, leafy rural parish.

One Step Back … and One Forward It’s sad to hear that the excellent organic garden at Sawangan near Nusa Dua and operated by Mike O’Leary’s ROLE Foundation has fallen victim to a land dispute, one of the more pernicious of the many social distempers endemic to Bali. ROLE is also seeking funding for new premises in Siligita. We’ll keep an eye on that. See them at www.rolefoundation.org.

On a much happier note, we hear that the non-pro¿t charity Yayasan Solemen and a local company, Indosole LLC, along with the Bali Dynasty Resort, were busy in November giving a helping hand to the villagers of Waribang in Sanur. Indosole handed out rice and 50 pairs of adult footwear made from recycled tyres. Solemen distributed 111 towels and 50 bed sheets donated by the Bali Dynasty and transported to the village by Mark Tuck, founder and principal of Paradise Property Group. The villagers of Waribang make their living by collecting plastic bottles to trade in for cash, which earns them Rp 3000 (about 21 US cents) per kilo. That’s something to think about while you’re enjoying your Christmas feast.

Solemen, whose leading hot-foot is the entrepreneurial Robert Epstone, regularly distributes food and clothing to needy villages around Bali and organize medical aid, physiotherapy and nutrition assistance. If you’d like to help, visit www.solemen.org.

Write Stuff Another Bali connection, the enigmatically alluring Jade Richardson who blogs with zest as the Passionfruit Cowgirl, has a gig going in the New Year that might interest any formative scribblers who are in Western Australia during the Long Sleep. It’s the latest in her Write of Passage workshops and the ¿rst one in Perth (though it’s actually in the port city of Fremantle, a good place to be in January when the searing heat of the Australian summer might otherwise be upon one).

Gentle Jade asks this question: Could this be the journey that changes everything? She tells us that this is her favourite workshop for aspiring writers and is designed for those seeking profound insight to their work in stories, a powerful shift in writing, and an understanding of creative energy. The workshop is on Jan. 5, 6 and 8. Details are at www.heartbookwriting.com or you can email her at jade.gently@gmail. com.

Cheers to the Monkey When the clock ticks over to 2016 the Diary will be in a very good mood. For shortly after that it will be the Year of the Monkey. We have plans for plenty of simian pursuits, a treat we award ourselves every 12 years.

BA Feature Article BUCKET LIST OF BALI’S BEST SPA TREATMENTS By the Spa Guru

I’m often asked where the best spa in Bali is. Dif¿cult question to answer. It really depends on your wallet and your expectations. There are plenty of good quality spas in Bali for very reasonable prices but sometimes it’s worth splurging a little for a memorable treatment. These are the treatments that you’ll tell your family and friends about. These are the treatments that you’ll remember long afterwards. These are the treatments that I suggest trying at least once.

Best Spa Experience I often tell tourists when they ask about the best spa in Bali, I tell them that if they’re only going to have one spa treatment in Bali go to Ayana Resort and indulge i n t h e Thalassotherapy’s Aquatonic Seawater Therapy pool. It’s one of the largest Aquatonic pools in the world and one of my all time favourite indulgences.

An Aquatonic pool is ¿lled with heated sea water and has a vast number of water jets installed in a pattern to not only massage your entire body, give you a good workout and offers healing properties such as relief of the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, back and muscular pain, tension and stress, muscle toning, reduction in cellulite, improved metabolism and cardiovascular functioning, strengthening of immune system and lymphatic drainage for muscle repair, improved sleep quality and relaxation, skin detoxification and nourishment to support anti-ageing therapies. There’s a sequence to follow in the pool to get your heart pumping and work your muscles by walking and swimming against strong current. Then you move into stations that have water jets positioned to massage your lower legs. After a few minutes you move to the next station with higher jets. It takes approximately two hours to complete the circuit with an all over body water massage, leaving your body feeling like jelly. The pool attendant will give you instructions before you step into the pool to move at your own pace. There’s nothing else like it. Plus you’re in a beautiful setting overlooking the Indian Ocean. How does it get any better than this? Very affordable. Thermes Marines Spa at Ayana Resort and Spa. 0361-702222 E: info@ayanaresort. com Holistic Spa Experience Taksu Healing Haven is a gorgeous spacious spa in the heart of Ubud.

Besides great massages and the works, they have eight holistic healers in residence, each with their own unique specialty, all worth checking out. I chose Tyr Throne, creator of Somalogy (aka body revolution) – the science of the living body – advanced bodywork and movement processes that creates ideal posture and movement patterns that ¿xes back and neck problems, and empowers youth and vitality, and incorporates the best of Structural Integration and Feldenkrais to pass on immediate and lasting improvements. Basically he solves problems with your body and teaches you how to correct your bad habit posture and make you look years younger. To start with he took photos and videos of my body in different positions and movement. Showing me the results he then demonstrated the difference between my “computer posture” to what should be a good posture. The difference was amazing, making me realize I was making myself appear years older simply by allowing my body to maintain bad habits. He then taught me how to correct my posture. Next he worked on my injured arm, which he told me that the mobility restrictions could be helped by correcting my posture. At the end of the session he took more photos and videos and compared them to the ones taken ninety minutes earlier. The difference in my body was remarkable. I now stood taller and moved more freely. Did I look 10 or 20 years younger? Twenty I’d say and felt younger too. Amazing body worker! Taksu Spa, www.taksuhealinghaven.com. T: 0361-971-490 Hydro Spa Experience For a sensational water treatment I love the Sensorial Hydrotrail followed by a Hammam at the new Acqua Perla Spa. My therapist accompanied me into the hydro tunnel and explained what would happen. The lights would change colour and when they turned red I was to move on to the next section. She told me to close my eyes because a rush of water would pour down

over me while several small geysers bubbled up water from the Àoor. This lasted for a few minutes until the lights turned red then I moved to the next chamber where a contoured chair sat. My therapist came in to explain how the hydro chair works. When activated, jets of warm water would massage my lower back while jets massaged my calves and the sides of my thighs were pummeled with strong jets. I pushed the button and let the water do its magic. Minutes later when the red light appeared I moved to the ice fountain. Here a huge bowl of ¿nely crushed ice was waiting for me to plunge my hand into grabbing up handfuls and rubbing over my body. I realized I hadn’t seen snow for many years but took pleasure in the cold tingling sensation. Next I slowly walked through a tunnel with jets of water shooting from the sides massaging my hips, waist and stomach. The ¿nal phase was a gentle rain forest to wash me clean. Waiting at the exit stood my therapist with a Àuffy white towel. She coaxed me into the shower and instructed me to pull down the pivoting wooden bucket above twice to rinse me off. Next I entered the hammam, which was dimly lit with shimmering tiles. A round well was being ¿lled with water spouts with a shimmering red light below. On the right stood an oval bed where I was told to lay face down. She scrubbed the back of my body with a sandalwood scrub then asked me to sit up and scrubbed the front of my body. When she ¿nished she rinsed me off with a hand shower. Then I went to sit in the large steam room for twenty minutes, sipping on a glass of water as I stared into what looked liked red Àickering Àames of ¿re in the well. This put me into a hypnotic trance as my body relaxed and sweated out toxins. Acqua Perla Spa, No. 66, Double Six Beach.

T: 0361-8499189. reservation@acquaperlaspa.com www. acquaperlaspa.com Romantic Spa The most romantic experience is in the Prana Spa Private Suite, which is a magni¿cent room especially created for a couple to be treated like and a king and queen. You enter an exotic world of ancient Persia, India, Egypt and Morocco, with plush Persian carpets, coloured glass lamps illuminate the room, a hand-painted mural on one wall depicts the relics of ancient Rajastan while a tent-like curtain surrounds an enormous black iridescent sea shell-shaped bath large enough for four people to languish in warm bubbling water.

The therapists and personal butler are dressed in traditional costumes representing these ancient times to create an authentic experience.

There are four choices to choose from in the private suite: Eastern Mystique, Jewel of Nile, Sinbad’s Seven Voyages to Health or One Thousand and One Nights or you can create your own experience. We selected the Jewel of the Nile, 240 minutes of luxury. After being ushered into the exotic chamber, we changed into comfortable robes and slippers then sat on an enormous round sofa with plush cushions. The butler came in and showed us the menu of ala-carte canapés, wines and champagnes to choose from. We chose four canapés and a bottle of sparkling wine. Then the butler asked us to approve a selection of music to enhance our experience.

We savored a glass of sparkling wine to get us in the mood for the coming pampering while sitting in comfortable chairs with our feet in warm water with semi-precious stones on the bottom of the foot bowls as the ritual began with a foot bath. Next we climbed on the massage beds and the female therapists applied the twenty-four karat gold infused massage oil with dancing ¿ngers over our bodies. Gold has long been used for its healing properties and beauty enhancement. The profoundly relaxing therapeutic massage eliminated all our tight muscles and knots and culminated in anointing the seven chakras with precious gemstones being placed on each energy centre to promote the Àow of positive vibrations for ¿fteen minutes of tranquility.

Our attendants continued with a natural product facial, ¿nishing with a genuine powdered pearl mask to brighten and enhance the face. Our crowning glory was now given attention by applying warm oils and rosemary to nourish the scalp and hair as we were gently massaged into a state of bliss. Our journey down the Nile was completed with a legendary Cleopatra milk bath in the opulent shell-shaped bath. A tray of canapés and bottle of sparkling wine sat on the side of the bath for us to enjoy the solitude in warm bubbling milky water. After the bath we donned our robes and retired to the huge sofa to ¿nish our drinks and snacks. After awhile our attendants softly knocked and asked to enter our private world to inform us that our four hours of paradise was ¿nished.

We emerged feeling like a king and queen. www.pranaspabali. com Tel: 0361- 730840 Massage Named Bali’s favorite massage is Jari Menari, which translates to ‘Dancing Fingers’. The expertly trained, all-male practitioners

always keep you discreetly draped and are very professional in the quality of touch offered. Sticking to what they do best, Jari Menari offers eight different massage sessions. My body was craving stretching so I chose the “Massage with Movement”, 90 minutes of bliss. Before beginning, my practitioner asked if there were any areas I had problems with and what kind of pressure I preferred. Starting by gently rocking my body, I quickly began relaxing. My practitioner’s hands danced from head to toe and back again, always in motion. At Jari Menari they focus on long, Àowing strokes, which made me conscious of my whole body, as one, with occasional pauses on areas of tension that released knots in my muscles. Having this massage was like meeting an old friend who knows you very well. I had forgotten how intuitive the massage is at Jari Menari. Treat your body to an unforgettable experience. They offer several choices: The Signature Massage, The Perfect Massage, Singing Bowl Enhanced, Massage with Movement, Four Hand Harmony, Focusing on Your Back and Foot Massage. With a simple Zen-like atmosphere with Àowing water and music in the background to soothe you, Jari Menari is expanding the location at Jalan Raya Basangkasa No.47, Seminyak, Bali T:(0361) 736740 jarimenari@jarimenari.com www.jarimenari.com ReÀexology Most reflexology places are much the same with a reclining chair and usually a male practitioner to massage your feet.

However, Chill is a cut above the rest offering an experience for not only your feet but your body. The tangy scent of peppermint welcomes you as you enter the front door to reception. Only four treatments are on the menu two 60 minute and two 90 minute. It was a dif¿cult choice between the Ultimate ReÀexology and Holistic Treatment. The receptionist told me that the Holistic is their most popular as it includes a good back massage whilst lying down. The Ultimate is performed while reclining. I decided to try the Holistic. Seated on a chair with my feet propped on a warm angled slab of marble with warm water running over my feet, the practitioner washed my feet, dried them and placed slippers on them. Then he escorted me into the spacious, cool dimly lit Zen tranquility room, also smelling like peppermint. I sipped on my lemon tea as he prepared for the treatment. Handing me ear-pods he asked me to lie face down as he covered my body with thick towels. Listening to soothing music I began to relax as he began pressing over my legs. Sitting on a ¿tness ball he began working on my feet, expertly hitting all the pressure points without pain. Gradually he worked up to my back and slowly probed his ¿ngers and thumbs into points along my spine to my shoulders. After what seemed a long back massage he pressed into the back of my neck. Then he asked me to turn over and placed an eye pillow over my eyes. Here he applied peppermint cream to each arm and massaged and stretched the arms and hands. Then onto the shoulders and neck again. Removing my ear-pods and eye pillow he ¿nished with a soothing scalp massage, leaving me completely relaxed. Chill ReÀexology Jl. Kunti I, Kuta. T:(0361) 734701 Facial Gold has been used for centuries for healing and reputedably used by Cleopatra to enhance her beauty. For the ultimate and luxurious anti aging facial go to the elegant Goldust Beauty Lounge. The magic of gold in the 24K Gold facial slows collagen depletion, stimulates circulation and reduces ¿ne lines and wrinkles in just 90 minutes.

This divine decadence starts with a soothing neck massage to relax and get you in the mood. Then cleansing followed by a gentle facial scrub, afterwards steam hovers over the face as the therapist gently extracts all impurities from the skin. A stimulating massage comes next to increase blood circulation and removes toxins. Then thin layers of pure 24k gold leaf are applied over the face. While the gold infused its magic into the skin, I received a wonderful foot, hand and head massage. The gold is massaged into the skin and continues to work on the skin for 30 days, afterwards a light serum infused with gold is applied and optional sun cream is applied.

Looking in the mirror, my face was radiant and smoother. Indeed, I looked much younger. Goldust Beauty Lounge Jl. Batu Bolong no. 66, Canggu. T:0811383721. E:bookings@goldustbali.com. www.goldustbali.com

BA FEATURE Continued from page 45 Hair & Makeup Glo Day Spa is undoubtedly the best spa for expert hair care and professional makeup services. They keep very busy with their in-house wedding hair and makeup services using Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics from USA supplemented with Bobbi Brown, Nars, MAC and Urban Decay, all suitable for Bali’s tropical climate. But a visit to either of their chic day spas is a treat. With a talented team of Australian and Indonesian hairdressers they offer expert hair services using professional products from Australia such as Goldwell and from Germany Alfapalf and Matrix. The hairdressers take the time to consult with all clients on what you’d like to achieve with your hair and face, offering expert advice on all hair services from cut, colour or straightening.

Eyelash Extensions I’ve been going to Rin Beauty Studio for a long time getting my eyelash extensions because I’m sure the therapists will make an excellent application that is long lasting up to 4 – 8 weeks with proper care. They also offer eyelashes for sensitive eyes using special glue. If you’ve never tried eyelash extensions you can try the trial package of 100 individually applied lashes with sensitive glue. This will last approximately 2 -3 weeks or go for the deluxe package of 200 lashes using stronger glue which will last 3-6 weeks. They have 4 different styles to choose from depending on your eye shape and how dramatic you’d like to look. Taking care, I’ve found that the lashes can last up to two months before needing replacement. Usually coming for a re¿ll after one month will keep your eyes looking beautiful longer. The lashes are both comfortable and natural feeling. Throw away your mascara, you won’t need it anymore. Rin also has the best gel nail artwork with hundreds of styles to choose from. Your nails can look like you’re wearing pieces of art. Rin Beauty Studio Jl. Mertanadi No. 92, Kerobokan. T: 0361847754 / 081999045597. Rin Beauty Lounge Jl.

Coloring, hair tattooing (patterns in hair – kids love it); waxing, and nails are all easily attended to during your visit. Each cut includes two washes, the ¿rst to get you relaxed with a great shoulder and head massage and the last to clean you up prior to ¿nal blow out and wax/pomade if desired. This is truly Husband Day Care at its ¿nest, with a separate “Mancave” room for nail work and shoulder massages, private spa rooms and sports massages to attend to those sore muscles after a bit of sur¿ng, and a fun barbershop environment ¿lled with banter, rock and roll, Bintangs & whiskey – the hours pass quickly and the guys leave looking and feeling fantastic!

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

Identified by your Religion As you may have noticed, religion and religious beliefs are extremely important to many Indonesians and are common talking points and a foreigner may even be questioned about their beliefs upon first meeting. Most people in Balinese society assume what religion others subscribe to due to religious dress, habits of worship, the name of their business (e.g. ‘Warung Muslim’ or ‘Bakso Krama Bali’); based on ethnicity: Westerner = Christian, Chinese = Buddhist; or if they don’t have a typical Balinese name like Putu, Made etc.

Based on Pancasila – Indonesia’s philosophical foundation which was promulgated by President Sukarno in 1945 after gaining independence – citizens of Indonesia must subscribe to monotheism. This of course means that citizens not only may not adhere to a polytheistic religion, it also means that citizens must adhere to a religion full-stop.

C/Bm/I-09 Dec 15

The state also defined the specific six religions that one may identify with: Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Additional regulation included the denial of people in Indonesia (including both citizens and aliens) of different religions / beliefs / mindsets / whatever to get married. Further ‘branding’ of what goes on in the grey matter of each citizen was the mandatory inclusion of one’s ‘religion’ on their identity card (KTP). Fortunately for human rights activists, a recent change is that the inclusion of one’s religion on one’s KTP is now optional (except perhaps in one regency in Sumatra where the regent had threatened not to process citizen’s KTPs if they did not include their religion!).

Culturally speaking, of course, you could see how all of this has the potentially to cause divisions not only between the acknowledged religions but also creating opposition and isolation for those who either believe differently or don’t believe at all. For example, the 2012 jailing of self-proclaimed (on his Facebook account) atheist, Alexander An, has only served to catapult this ‘non-belief’ further into the public spectrum.

As Indonesia globalizes with more access to information about how others in the world think, will this KTP amendment change the country culturally, making it freer, more open-minded and less oppressive? It suggests we’re heading in this direction, but we still have a long, long way to go.

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 06, 2016

A lot of planetary movement this fortnight and our Christmas Full Moon, makes for some interesting and possibly challenging changes. We are also about to enter into our first Mercury retrograde for 2016 and Uranus turns direct on boxing day and continues that way until late July. Venus transits into super adventurous Sagittarius and Mars enters Scorpio, where it will spend a lot of time for the first half of the year as it goes retrograde through May and June. The Sun in Capricorn for this next month always marks a more sombre toned and serious time, with the Full Moon opposite the Sun at 4 degrees Cancer and Capricorn respectively. Jupiter is close to the North Node and in a harmonious aspect to Mercury in Capricorn. This is a time for communication that will affect our future path and possibly a good time for goal setting and relationship re-orientation. Mars in the last degrees of Libra is seeking some kind of balance, although past issues and painful memories, hurts or abandonment may get in the way and then Mars enters Scorpio. Mars is square to Mercury on the Full Moon and this may make communication strained during those Christmas festivities. It would be fair to say that Pluto and Uranus are in a tight square to each other again and this continues the ongoing transformational theme of the past few years. Jupiter and North Node in Virgo are calling for healing and a more service oriented way of living for everyone and the Planet.

FULL MOON 3 Cancer 20 December 25, 2015 7:12 p.m.

The focus is on the family this Christmas and future plans particularly around your work are in process. Mars your planetary ruler is pushing your mental capacity to the max and any financial issues you may have will be discussed with some intensity during this fortnight and will be the subject of much discussion throughout the next months. There’s a strong call to solitude and to doing some serious healing work on yourself and possibly others as a part of what you do for a living. This will be the year for some major transformation for the Aries native and a time where you will let go of a lot.

This Full Moon promises to bring an extra special family orientation to your Christmas gatherings. Your values often centre on family and you also have an emotional connection to the work that you do in the World and there will be no shortage of emotional content during the first half of this next year. The possible challenges come through your creative outlets or any connections to children you may have. Shared resources are a topic of discussion as are you finances and investments. Even your ideals will be confronted over the coming weeks which will allow you to see what and who you really stand for.

Venus is harmonised to the Karmic points this Full Moon and brings a strong relationship focus into the New Year. There will be concentrated and intense energy available to you to transform your partnerships, not just the romantic ones, and many things to go over during the first half of next year. This is the time for the detailed and precise investigative work and will hone in your career in particular during these next weeks. Your foreign connections are up around the Full Moon and possibly some emotional communication with or about them will unfold. You are ready for a re-invention and reorientation particularly around your work and children.

There’ll be no stopping you during the first half of the next year. As you step out on your own or doing your own thing, there may be challenges from the family and I have a feeling that this isn’t going to get in the way of any missions you are on. So much of what you are about and the area of most growth are within your own community and with friends. There may be a tendency to self-sacrifice when it comes to the children in your life and yet you can soon balance this out with a little emotional understanding on both their behalf and your own. The Full Moon lights up adventurous themes for you.

These current planetary energetic shifts are pushing you more and more into your service work with a particular focus on your family and career. Christmas time is usually one of the most intense times of the year for you and really brings a highlight to your family values. This next year will bring a concentrated focus on both your work and your health through either foreign connections or the undertaking of study. Whatever challenges you to think differently is going to support this next round of personal transformation. Relationship is looking like fun for this next month. Take time out for adventure and playfulness even if you have to schedule it in.

This Christmas may be a time when you feel deep emotions and get to focus on what is really important to you. Venus moves into your sign and brings a little lightness of being and possibly even fun and adventure. You may be more focused on yourself right now as opposed to any significant others. The next few months will take you deeply into your own psyche and if this threatens others or you feel misunderstood try to not let it create mental stress and tension for you. No one can really know what it is to be in your shoes, although it is better to find those who have the capacity to understand, than those who have no idea.

This Full Moon is in your sign and polarises your own emotional needs and your responsibilities concerning significant others. There may be a call for you to be more in the spotlight over the next months and this could stretch you to really explore the way that you communicate and share words, thoughts and ideas and emotional content with others. Languages or technology may be an area of growth for you and foreign concerns or previously learned knowledge is integrating the changes you’ve already undertaken. It’s becoming increasingly apparent to you that a sense of adventure, joy and simple fun has an enormous influence on your health and work.

The Sun is in your sign now and the Full Moon in your polar opposite sign and influencing your relationships and family dynamics. If you are feeling particularly emotional this Christmas, let it come as no surprise. The next months will bring energy to burn with regards to any community projects you have in mind. It may also bring the occasional confrontation with friends or concerning monetary concerns.

The transformation, release and endings that occur through this are all in preparation for the next longer phase of your life. Your love is turned inwards at the moment and it’s a good few weeks to elevate your thinking and spiritual investigations.

This Capricorn is all about work for you, although the Full Moon is pulling you inwards towards a little self-reflection and quietude. A concentrated focus is unfolding around home and family and this will bring tension through communication with those closest to you. The inner pull is highlighting what’s important to you and this is an area of mental investigation during this next year. You are changing at the deepest core level and if strong emotions overcome you from time to time, these are simply the waves of change bringing release. Make your health a priority and communicate your needs to those who care and can support you.

This Christmas offers a little respite from the everyday and you may find yourself being the host as you feel more deeply into the essence of life. For you the Scorpio focus and concentrated attention is in the area of work, career and worldly status or standing. You may find yourself more outspoken than ever before, although you might have to rethink some of the things that come up during the next month. Friendships are the ground for some fun and adventure or you could have a rekindling of the love affair for your own community. You have a great deal to share with many diverse individuals now.

Siapa... ?

by Bill Dalton

William Finnegan: Pioneering Indonesia Surfer William Finnegan hasn’t always been a surfer. Only since the age of ten. He was born in New York City in 1952 and brought up in Los Angeles.

The family lived in Honolulu from 1966 to 1967 where he attended junior high school, then moved back to California.

William worked as a railroad brakeman in California for four years, a high-school teacher in Cape Town for a year and a freelance journalist for six years. In 1974, he earned a BA in English Lit at UC Santa Cruz and in 1978 an MFA at University of Montana. From 1987 to the present, William has been a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. A lifelong surfer, in 2015 this prolific writer published his surfing/travel memoir Barbarian Days – a significant part of which takes place in Indonesia - to wide critical acclaim. William now lives and works in New York City.

When did you visit Indonesia for the first time?

I was surfing my way around the world in 1979 with a friend.

Our 6-month Australian visas ran out. We had been living and working on the Gold Coast, Queensland. We drove to Darwin, sold our 1964 Falcon station wagon to Yugoslavian bauxite miners for $200, then flew to Denpasar.

What was Bali like in those early days?

Though the year 1979 was pure pastoral tranquility compared to today, there were already loads of Western tourists in Kuta and Sanur. Plenty of surfers were out at Uluwatu and Kuta Reef. Already many Balinese worked in the tourist industry, either formally or informally. I don’t remember proper hotels in Kuta, only in Sanur. We stayed with a family in a little losmen near the beach. Traffic seemed to be all bemos and motorbikes. Not many paved roads, particularly not to surf spots. I was working on a novel and my writing routine took me to a college library in Denpasar where it was cool and quiet in the mornings.

Then in the afternoons I’d go out to the Bukit to surf.

Did you meet any unusual characters?

A German doctor in Sanur treated me for paratyphoid. His manner was very brusque, as if he had been in Southeast Asia since colonial days. The family we stayed with in Lagundri Bay on Nias were very nice and for that time and place quite cosmopolitan. They knew about world affairs.

But they were not on great terms with their neighbors in nearby villages. They kept warning us to be wary of them.

The Christianity of the islanders, our hosts insisted, was strictly nominal. If they got a chance, they would attack and rob us. During World War II, they said, when contact with the outside world was cut off, the islanders had killed and eaten Dutch and German missionaries. I was unable to confirm these stories. I had no problems with anybody in Pulau Nias.

slept. The surf was great. No one else was around. We later realized that we had been surfing the wrong spot. Our camp was about halfway up the reef, so we just paddled to the top of the reef to surf. That, apparently, was a relatively mediocre spot now called Kong’s. The big waves at Grajagan are inside, much farther down the reef, but we never paddled down there. That was seriously idiotic.

Camping there was intense. The jungle did not feel benign, particularly not at night. Most of the water we had brought turned out to be contaminated with outboard fuel, so we were thirsty all the time. I got malaria there.

Did you also surf in Sumatra?

We surfed Lagundri Bay on Pulau Nias in 1979. I peaked as a surfer there. I was 26 and felt like I could do almost any maneuver I could think of. It was a peak experience. I felt immortal. That was then! Nias was still an underground spot the first time we visited. A great wave, and for once a right-hander-not the norm in Indonesia. We all stayed in the only losmen in the village run by the only Muslim family in the area. There were a few Aussie surfers there. No photos of the wave at Lagundri had yet appeared in the surf mags. I went back a few months later with a girlfriend after the first surf pics of the famous Niah waves had been published. There were already three times as many surfers.

What surf experience in Indonesia had the most lasting impact?

I had a close call at Uluwatu on a big day late in the afternoon. The tide had dropped and I failed to notice that it was getting dangerously shallow on an inside section known as Racetrack. I rode a set wave all the way through and realized too late that I should have pulled out. I actually got the deepest backhand barrel of my life on that wave, but I was so scared, with all the water dredging off the reef, that I didn’t enjoy it at all. In 50 years of doing stupid things on surfboards, it was one of the dumbest-riding down onto that reef at low tide on a big wave. It was really, really dark in there-the sun was going down-and I could smell the rancid breath of incipient disaster. It was sheer luck that I made it. I think I learned from that near miss to look at least a little before leaping-certainly to try to always know where you are in serious surf.

Was surfing in Indonesia in those days different from surfing other surf locales in the same era?

The quality of the waves was extremely high. The best days felt almost supernatural. That of course has not changed.

A number of spots on Bali sometimes have a quality that I call cleaned-up power that you very rarely see anywhere else. The surface conditions can be absolutely buttery, as smooth and fine as a windless pond, while huge powerful waves pour through, sometimes peeling flawlessly down the edge of a shallow reef. This also happens on Lombok, Java and in the Mentawais. I saw it start to happen on the Bukit one day in early November of this year. If the surf is crowded, which it usually is these days, the sheer dreaminess is harder to perceive. There are just too many people thrashing around in the foreground. It was a revelation when I first experienced it at Uluwatu in the late ‘70s. It was also a revelation again in November.

Indonesian champion bodybuilder and fitness consultant Komang Arnawa was appointed director in August this year.

The first fitness event under his watch will be held on Sunday, January 17, 2016 at The Trans Resort Bali with competition in the following categories: 1. Female Fitness Model - natural bikini model physique 2. Men’s Fitness - surfer style natural physique 3. Men’s Physique - beginner body builders with defined muscularity.

Reflecting the philosophies of both IFBB-Indonesia and Komang Arnawa, the January competition is strictly drug free. In what is expected to be an intensely competitive event, competitors securing a first place title will have the chance to compete at the Australian World Championship on a sponsored basis.

In addition to being a competitive bodybuilder competition, the January 17th event will also be used to introduce healthy habits and cuisine to participants and spectators. Those participating and attending will have an opportunity to browse sponsor stalls offering products & services in support of healthy life styles. Competitors will also be able to join seminars led by experts on how to pose and present in competitive bodybuilder competitions.

Commenting on the coming event, Komang Arnawa said: ‘I love the excitement of seeing people on stage when they set their mind to compete. I plan to create regular fitness events that can encourage & support the Indonesian fitness mania to embrace healthy living and achieve their goals by using the contest as their deadline. Additionally, I see lots of potential of my Indonesian fitness generation to become the next World Champion so I hope the events will act to advance a hobby of fitness into a profession. This IFBB federation can be a platform to achieve this and will provide opportunities for athletes to compete internationally.’

Undefeated throughout his international competitive career, Komang was named champion in 6 successive competitions, including Australian National Champion and has twice won bodybuilding’s highest honor as Pro World Champion (2004 and 2005).

MONEY MATTERS

by Colin Bloodworth

HAS YOUR NET WORTH GROWN OR SHRUNK THIS YEAR? As we approach the end of the year we should take stock of how our personal ¿nances have fared over the course of the year.

This is an important exercise that enables us to evaluate our ¿nancial decisions over the year and perhaps more importantly help us to budget and plan our ¿nancial strategies for the coming year and beyond. How we spend our money clearly has an impact on how much we can save. There is no fun in accumulating wealth for the sake of it; we have to enjoy life as well. On the other hand, spending too frugally during our working life may be cause for regret later on. It’s a balancing act at the end of the day.

If you have a steady income from employment or a business your bank balance has probably grown and you should be better off now than you were a year ago. But if you take away the new income or if you rely entirely on savings or a pension for income the situation is likely to be different. It has been another very dif¿cult year for investors across almost every asset class as the world continues to unwind the debts that accumulated in the irrationally exuberant days prior to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

No matter where you had been invested this year, the chances are that the value of those investments have hardly grown or, as is far more likely, are worth less now than they were at the start of the year. Let’s have a look at the various asset classes where you may have parked your wealth: Cash in the bank. If you have cash in the bank in any of the major currencies such as USD, GBP or Euro, it is unlikely you have seen any interest added to it unless you have a large deposit or have agreed to lock it in for at least a year. If you have your cash in a lesser currency such as AUD or NZD any small interest you may have seen would have been wiped out by the depreciation of the currency against the USD over the year, so unless you actually live in Australia or New Zealand there is no gain. For readers living in Bali who entrusted their cash to deposits in Rupiah you will have enjoyed a modest rate of interest but if you translate the gains into USD you have actually lost money. Even if you live a modest life in the local style you would have seen any gains diminished by inÀation.

Bonds. When we are talking about bonds (= loans) issued by governments you may have seen some small gains.

USD and GBP 10 year bonds are currently paying around 2% per annum but they are subject to potential capital loss during their term should interest rates rise, as they are likely to starting this month. On the other hand their capital value can rise if there is political, economic or market turmoil when they are seen as a safe haven. They should really be seen as a form of insurance against such risks but also as a liquid asset that can be quickly accessed. This is why pension funds must keep a large stock of them. Rupiah bonds have been offering attractive rates of interest but there is the same currency risk that applies to cash. Corporate bonds have fared better as their rates are higher but no fortunes have been made this year and never will in bonds alone.

Stock markets. As we approach the end of the year the US stock market year-to-date is pretty Àat. At one stage it looked as if it might make a modest pro¿t but unless there is a sharp end-of-year rally that seems unlikely. Some markets such as Europe and Japan have done reasonably well in their own currencies but if you factor in the currency falls against the USD the picture is negative. Emerging markets, once the jewel in the crown, have had another miserable year, the worst performers being Latin America and South Africa, both down over 30%.

Property. This has been a mixed bag, depending on where you have invested, but there have certainly been no price surges this year. Properties can still be seen marketed in Bali and elsewhere at sometimes astonishingly high prices but for anyone trying to sell a property the picture is less rosy. Property, like stocks, must be seen as a long term investment.

Alternative investments. In the quest for steady returns not linked to the volatile ¿nancial markets many have ventured into a wide range of alternative investments covering areas such as student accommodation, agricultural products, venture capital projects, asset-backed lending among others. While the underlying stories have been convincing several such investements have run into liquidity problems, mismanagement issues and even fraud.

Such investments are best left to institutional investors such as pension schemes where short term liquidity is not an issue and where they represent just a very small part of the overall portfolio.

Commodities. This has been another disastrous year for almost every commodity from gold to base metals, oil and agriculture. The reason is the slowdown globally but especially in China which had been powering the commodity boom up to a few years ago. Commodity-producing countries such as Australia and Indonesia have taken a big hit and thousands of jobs have been lost in their respective mining and energy sectors. Investors who quite rightly have diversi¿ed part of their savings plans and portfolios into funds investing in those sectors will have seen losses as high as 20% this year on top of last year’s losses. But read on and don’t despair!

Private business. This is the riskiest asset class of all as there are so many variables, some controllable, others not.

Anyone going into business on their own should be aware that a large majority of businesses fail within ¿ve years.

This should not discourage anyone going into business provided that it is clearly segregated from long term personal assets such as property and pensions. Despite the failures, the fact is many people have been very successful in business, particularly in Bali. But even successful businesses may have found this year challenging.

So what are the lessons for 2016?

Evaluating the past year is important so that we can see what went right and what went wrong, but also if things did go wrong why they went wrong and what, if anything, should be done about it. Firstly, market losses are perfectly normal and regularly occur.

Over time markets invariably rise, but the only certain way to capture the upside is to remain invested through various cycles and any turbulance. Attempts to time the markets rarely succeed. If they did there would be some very successful fund managers around. Occasionally one does shine brightly but the following year the light often goes out!

In the short term markets can be ¿ckle and often surprise us with a sudden surge when we least expect it. But for the near term we should expect continued low interest rates, albeit with gradual increases, and continued depressed markets as the world recovers from its earlier spending excesses.

It is going to be harder to plan for retirement and thought should be given to spending less and saving more to prepare for the risk of longevity! Investing now for the future education of children and grandchildren is also a way you can ensure them a good start in life to face perhaps even greater challenges in their generation.

Whatever the future holds, enjoy the festive season and may 2016 be a happy and prosperous year for you!

Local News Indonesian President ‘Furious’ Over Freeport Bribery Scandal Indonesian President Joko Widodo says he is furious and disappointed that his name has been dragged into a bribery scandal involving parliament speaker Setya Novanto.

court plans to ask the national police to conduct a forensic test on the authenticity of the recording.

The president told reporters that the process of a parliamentary honorary court, the MKD, must be respected, but he is angry the speaker invoked his name to solicit bribes.

He said the legality of the recording is still in question and, therefore, the technical authenticity must be confirmed through a forensic audit. He told reporters a final decision would be reached before December 18.

Novanto, who is accused of soliciting bribes from mining giant Freeport, told the court Monday (7/12) that he rejects the evidence against him because it was illegally obtained.

Meanwhile, thousands of people have signed an online petition for parliament to open the MKD hearings to the public.

The evidence he was referring to is an audio recording of him reportedly telling a Freeport executive that the president wanted shares in the company in exchange for regulatory help.

But Junimart Girsang, vice chairman of MKD, said the closed hearing was requested by the speaker, who said some of the information should not be public.

“I don’t mind if you say I’m a ‘crazy president’ or a ‘stubborn president.’ That doesn’t bother me at all,” Widodo said. “But when it is concerned with my reputation or the dignity of my office, saying that I asked for 11 percent [of Freeport] shares, I can’t tolerate it. These are issues of appropriateness, ethics, morality and the dignity of the nation.”

Girsang added that during the hearing, the speaker didn’t respond to questions about the recordings. “It was an opportunity for him to explain himself publicly, but he didn’t take it,” Girsand said.

MKD chairman Surahman Hidayat said after the closed hearing that once the original recording is submitted, the

In the meantime, the case is also being handled by the Department of Justice. Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo said several individuals involved in the case have been questioned. (December 7th 2015)

Court Hears of Brutal Treatment of Murdered Girl An Indonesian woman on trial for the murder of her adopted daughter in Bali was known to beat the child frequently and brutally, witnesses say.

Franky Alexander Marenggang, a boarder at the Denpasar home of Margriet Megawe, told the Denpasar District Court on Thursday (10/12) that he often saw Margriet hitting 8-year-old Engeline around the house, sometimes with a bamboo pole.

He said that in one particularly harrowing case, Margriet told Engeline to look for one of her chicks that had gone missing, and that when the girl couldn’t find the bird, the foster mother got angry.

“She hit Engeline with a bamboo pole until it snapped. She hit her in the same location where the child was later buried,” Franky said.

Margriet initially reported Engeline missing in May this year, eliciting an outpouring of support online. But piqued by her strange behavior, including her reluctance to allow a search of her house, police investigators in June discovered the child’s body buried in the back yard of the house.

Agustinus Tay, Margriet’s housekeeper, who initially confessed to murdering the girl, later recanted, saying his testimony had been made under duress.

He alleges that Margriet killed Engeline by slamming her head repeatedly into a wall, and promised to pay him Rp. 200

million ($14,700) to bury the body and keep quiet about it.

In his testimony on Thursday, Franky painted a picture of Margriet as highly abusive toward Engeline. When he tried to intervene in the beating over the missing chick, he said, Margriet snapped at him: “She said that she fed Engeline and gave her a life, and that I shouldn’t interfere.”

“She often hit Engeline or yelled at her,” Franky went on, adding that the child always appeared relieved when Margriet was away.

“But when she returned, [Engeline] became quiet. There was one time when [Margriet] was away from home for a few weeks, and Engeline looked so happy, she played all the time. But when [Margriet] got back, she fell silent immediately.”

Another of Margriet’s former boarders, Lauren Soriton, corroborated Franky’s account of the frequent beatings, but said she was scared to speak out because she needed a place to stay and did not want to be evicted by Margriet.

“If Engeline did the slightest thing wrong, [Margriet] would get angry,” Lauren said, adding that she once saw Margriet hitting the child with a wooden plank.

The trial has been adjourned to next week to hear more witness testimony. Prosecutors have charged Margriet with murder, for which she could face the death penalty.

Agustinus faces a lesser charge of accessory to murder.

Mount Bromo Volcano Erupts in Indonesia

Jetstar Turns Back Bali Flight to Adelaide

Powerful bursts of hot ash and gravel erupted from the rumbling Bromo volcano at 6.00 a.m. on Tuesday (15/12), heading as far as 2.5 km from the crater, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of the national disaster management agency, said. Tourists and visitors were banned from entering the slope up to 2.5 km from the crater, Sutopo said.

“Residences are warned to keep a close eye on the status of the volcano and a possible larger eruption,” he said. The agency and local community have prepared for any emergency, according to Sutopo. The 3,829 metre high Mount Bromo last erupted in January 2011, forcing airlines to ground their planes. Mount Bromo is one of Indonesia’s 129 active volcanoes. (December 12th 2015)

A Jetstar plane from Adelaide to Bali has been turned back because of an issue with its hydraulic system. Flight JQ127 departed Adelaide Airport about 7pm on Friday (11/12) but turned back about an hour into the flight because of an issue with one of its three hydraulic systems. It landed safely back in Adelaide at 9.30pm. A Jetstar spokesman told AAP the aircraft could have safely flown to Bali, however the decision to turn back and have it serviced in Adelaide was due to the “greater engineering support we have in Australia”. Jetstar has arranged for Saturday’s Qantas and Jetstar flights to Bali to take the passengers booked on the Friday flight. The aeroplane will be returning to service on Saturday afternoon.

Woman Slashed by Stranger A woman was attacked by a man riding a motorbike with a sharp object on Jl Griya Anyar in Simpang Siur according to reports. The victim has been identified as Ayu and received 31 stitches after the attack early Tuesday (8/12) morning. According the victim, she was wearing denim shorts when the unknown assailant slashed her legs with a box cutter or razor blade before driving off on a motor bike. The victim was unable to record the license plate on the bike and said that it did not seem like the perpetrator intended to steal anything from her. After talking to her brother, the victim said that she found out that this had occurred three times before around 4.30am to 6am.

(December 9th 2015) Aust. Paedophile Peter Dundas Walbran Working at Thai School A convicted Australian child sex offender who abused children in Indonesia for seven years in the 1990s has been found working at a school in Thailand. Peter Dundas Walbran, who served three years in a Lombok jail for the abuse, was detained 600 kilometres north-east of Bangkok in a case that exposes the flaws in keeping track of paedophiles. In the 1990s Walbran, who is a dual Australian-New Zealand citizen, worked at the Australian and British international schools in Jakarta and was later accused of abusing children in the Indonesian capital, Bali and Lombok. In a horrifying development, after his deportation from Indonesia and without detection, Walbran travelled to Thailand and has been working as a teacher at an international school in Ubon Ratchathani. It is not known how many Australian paedophiles are infiltrating South East Asia on any given day, but it is known that Indonesia including Bali is their number one travel destination. Andy Ardian, from the child protection group Ecpat Indonesia, sees the fight against the scourge as a losing battle. “We received information that there are about 80 tourists from Australia that come to Indonesia every month that are part of this sex offenders group,” Mr Ardian said. The AFP and Indonesian officials have this year stopped 120 convicted Australian child sex offenders entering the country. (December 7th 2015) Toy Bomb Lands Passenger in Trouble on Bali Flight A plane packed with tourists departing from Bali was forced to return to the terminal because a British passenger had wanted to bring a toy bomb on-board, Indonesian officials said. The Briton, identified by local authorities as Davide Fogli, had initially declared his purchase - which came complete with a very realistic-looking bundle of dynamite and a timer - as he was passing through security at Ngurah Rai International Airport on Sunday (6/12). He explained to security staff that he had bought it as a toy and intend to take it home to a New Year’s Eve Party. Fogli was then informed that he would not be permitted to take the replica on the Doha-bound Qatar Airways flight and so left the toy behind. Cleared by airport officials, the man and his female companion proceeded to check in as normal. But the report of the incident soon reached Trikora Harjo, the airport’s general manager, who ordered that Fogli should be questioned further. By this time, the couple had already boarded the flight, which was on the tarmac preparing for takeoff. Under Harjo’s orders, the plane returned to the terminal and Fogli and his companion were escorted off of the aircraft for further inquiries. Fogli himself was questioned once more by airport officials and then again by local police in Denpasar, the provincial capital. The couple were finally released from questioning more than 24 hours after they were detained on Monday.

UNESCO`s Recognition of Balinese Dance to Promote Tourism The inclusion of the Balinese dance forms in the UNESCO World Heritage could help promote Indonesia’s tourism internationally, Minister for Cultural and Human Development Puan Maharani emphasized. Traditional Balinese dance forms provides participants with a solid cultural identity grounded in the understanding that they are safeguarding the cultural heritage of their ancestors, according to the UNESCO. Head of the Bali Cultural Office Dewa Putu Beratha noted in Denpasar, Bali, recently that the funding received following the UNESCOs recognition, would be used to preserve the dances. He claimed that the three genres of Bali dance comprise nine dances: Barong Ket, Joged Bumbung, Legong Keraton, Wayang Wong, Gambuh, Topeng Sidhakarya, Baris Upacara, Sanghyang Dedari, and Rejang. Dewa stated that it was now the responsibility of the central government, the Bali provincial government, and district/city governments to prepare the required infrastructure for the preservation and development of traditional Balinese dances. Eight Indonesian cultural elements have so far been inscribed by the UNESCO since 2008.The 10th session of the Committee, which was organized in Namibia, brought together the representatives of 24 States Parties to UNESCOs Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. (December 8th 2015) Rare Eclipse to Fall on Nyepi 2016 Nyepi – the Balinese Hindu New Year, and a public holiday for all Indonesians – coincides with the new moon of the spring equinox. In 2016 this will be a very special new moon, because it will produce one of the most spectacular things in nature: a total solar eclipse. On Nyepi Day (Wednesday, March 9) the Earth, Moon and Sun will become perfectly aligned. The darkest part of the Moon’s shadow, which is called the umbra, will strike the surface of the Earth, tracing a delicate line thousands of kilometers long – but just 100 to 150 kilometers wide. Anyone situated somewhere along this narrow path of totality will experience a total eclipse.

“On a scale of one to 10, a total eclipse is a million,” says Fred Espenak, a former NASA astrophysicist and a leading expert on solar and lunar eclipses. “It’s completely off the charts compared to any other astronomical event.” The umbra will touch down at sunrise in the Indian Ocean, and travel eastward. At 7:18 a.m. local time the umbra will hit the west coast of Sumatra. Seven minutes later it will reach Kalimantan; 11 minutes after that it arrives in Sulawesi. The umbra completes the overland sections of its journey a further 19 minutes later, when it leaves the east coast of North Maluku and heads out into the Pacific. (December 11th 2015) Balinese Eco-Resort Wins Unique Award Balinese Eco-Resort Bambu Indah has been named among the top eight “Over the Top” hotels by leading booking website Agoda.com this year, chosen for its unique and head-turning features. The hotel, rated three stars, is located amid lush rice paddies in Ubud, and made the annual list of what Agoda calls “properties that push the boundaries of creative accommodation.” Bambu Indah is

one of four Southeast Asian properties in Agoda’s list this year – two others are in Thailand and one in Myanmar – with all sharing in common the fact “that there is always something unique and memorable for travelers to discover, no matter where in the world they’re exploring.”

The full list is as follows: Bambu Indah Hotel, Bali, Indonesia, Vintage Luxury Yacht Hotel, Yangon, Myanmar, Keemala, Phuket, Thailand, Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, Chiang Rai, Thailand, Charlotte Street Hotel, London, Britain, Stars Galleria, Milan, Italy, Hotel Zephyr, San Francisco, USA and Queen Mary Hotel, Los Angeles, USA. (December 8th 2015) Indonesia Tightens Security in Bali for Holiday Season Indonesia’s intelligence and counter-terror chiefs, communications minister, and heads of police, military and religious groups met for a briefing in Jakarta on Monday (7/12). Co-ordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan told reporters a terror attack during the Christmas-New Year period was “possible”. “That’s why we’re alert in all airports, sea and air, and possibly other places too,” he said. National Police spokesman Agus Rianto said the annual Operasi Lilin (Operation Candle) for the Christmas and New Year period was being boosted this year. There had been no specific threat to Bali, where many Australians would be spending their holidays, he said. Bali provincial police have increased security however, particularly at the airport. Monday’s meeting came as extra security was provided to six senior police officials who were targeted specifically in threats, apparently from IS. (December 8th 2015)

Leading Human Rights Activists Argue End to Death Penalty Human rights activists have joined forces to condemn the use of the death penalty in Indonesia for major crimes, such as drug trafficking. “We keep wondering what makes the death penalty so popular here. What is wrong with our legal and political system? The more democratic a country is, the more it should respect and protect the human rights of its people,” Benny Sabdo, executive director of the independent political think tank Respublica Political Institute, said on Friday (11/12). He criticized poor accountability and integrity among the country’s law enforcement, pointing to the death penalty as not enough of a deterrent to end drugrelated crimes. Patricia Rinwigati Waagstein, chairwoman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation’s (Asean) anti-death penalty campaign, myth-busted that stance, saying it is more expensive to fund the execution of one individual compared to the costs of housing and feeding inmates serving years, or even life, behind bars. Ririn, as the chairwoman is known, said the death penalty does not guarantee others stop becoming involved in drug rings. “As we can see, despite many people having been executed recently for drugs, the number of drug-related crimes continues to increase,” she said. Franz Magnis Suseno, an interfaith activist and a professor at the Jakarta’s Driyarkara School of Philosophy, also disagrees with the death penalty simply because “one’s life is holy and sacred, and therefore no one can take it away.” (December 11th 2015) C/NV/U-23 Dec 15

Night Market and 1001 Lanterns (31 December)

Attending church at this time of year is a very special experience particularly if you don’t attend very often. It is a time to reÀect and remember what the true meaning of Christmas really is. Whatever your beliefs it is also a time for giving, a time for remembering loved ones. The ¿rst service is on Christmas Eve followed by a potluck Christmas lunch on Christmas day. The next gathering will be at the Pastor’s residence on New Year’s Eve. The church has a lovely community feel and everyone is welcome to come along and join in the spirit of Christmas.

When : 9 pm (24 December), 10.30 am (25 December) 8 pm (31 December) Where : Kuta International Christian Church, Jalan Patimura No 25, Legian Kelod, Kuta Pastor’s Residence, Jl Mertanadi No 58, Perum Griya Mertanadi, No 6, Kerobokan.

This is going to be a wonderful way to spend the last evening of 2015 in a more traditional Javanese and Balinese style.

Peog Ponorogo is a 100 year old annual festival originating from Ponorogo in East Java. It involves a mythical battle between the king and the magical lion creature known as Singa Barong and danced by men wearing masks of about 30 – 40 kg in weight and supported by the strength of their teeth. It almost sounds painful but these dancers are experts in their ¿eld and it is amazing how they bring this story alive, de¿nitely worth seeing. The evening continues with a bon¿re on the beach. The rains have ¿nally come and I hope we do have clear skies New Year’s Eve to enjoy the outdoors. Hotel Tugu have plan B too. The entertainment will be located on the beautiful beach lawn overlooking the ocean weather permitting and should it rain the evening will relocate to the majestic Bale Agung Hall. It is guaranteed to be a wonderful evening combining culture and festive spirit. Hotel Tugu is always worth a visit to see the amazing artifacts well preserved from a bygone era. Do contact the hotel to ¿nd out more information. There is also a Christmas dinner menu that looks amazing so if you haven’t made plans Hotel Tuggu’s Christmas menu is another recommendation.

Christmas & New Year Church Programs (24 and 25 December)

New Year’s Day Party (1 January) To be honest, the thought of going out on New Year’s Eve and coping with all the traf¿c, road closures and general mayhem doesn’t particularly entice me to go out or very far. There may be readers who choose to stay home and celebrate New Year’s Day or may be ready for that hair of the dog. Double-Six are ready for all those who are ready to start or continue partying.

Tickets are selling fast so do book as soon as possible to reserve your spot. This is a beautiful place to start the New Year with stunning views. On Tuesday evenings from 7 pm – 10 pm the best Jazz Funk Blues provide the entertainment for the evening something different for the New Year.

When: 2 pm – midnight 2 January Cost : IDR250,000 (presale) IDR400,000 (at the door) Where : Double Six Rooftop, Double-Six Hotel, No 66, Double Six Beach, Seminyak Contact : 734300 reservations@doublesixrooftop.com www.doublesixrooftop.com

New Year’s Eve Cocktail Party (31 December)

Sunday Mostly Jazz (27 December) Jazz in Sanur will appeal to Jazz fans and those who just want to enjoy the glow of Christmas lights by the beach with a festive cocktail while listening to some great music. This evening is part of a fortnightly Sunday programme. Together with Indra Lesmana Group and Sanggar Musik Indra Lesmana Giya Santrian, Griya Santiran presents several incredible jazz artists’ performances at the Griya Beach Club into the new year and beyond.

On 27 December Idang Rasjidi will entertain the guests followed by Eva Celia on 10 January and Glenn Fredly on 24 January. If you fancy a bit of jazz then this is de¿nitely the place to be.

When : 7 pm Where : Giya Santrian, Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.47, Sanur Contact: 081 338 5287171 (Kathryn) prgriya@santrian.com www.santrian.com/gri

There are lots of choices for New Year’s Eve but this party is particularly worth noting for it’s entertain value alone.

Letters To Bali Advertiser To Sort or not to Sort Dear Sir, I took this photo in Sanur at a government run hotel. I guess the boss did not inform the staff the meaning of having 3 trash receptacles – one for organic, one for metal and one for glass. I saw the worker busily dumping all 3 into one pile and putting all of it in one wheeled container. This is what happens when the management decides something looks good to the guests but does not work with his staff on the real meaning. Of course there is little follow through here in Bali so what do you expect?
