The Internet of Everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Part 1 What Does it Mean?

From IBM: Over the past century, we have seen the emergence of a kind of global data field. The planet itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; natural systems, human systems, physical objectsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have always generated an enormous amount of data, but until recent decades, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to hear it, to see it, to capture it. Now we can because all of these things have been instrumented with microchips, UPC codes and other technologies. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all interconnected, so now we can actually have access to the data. In effect, the planet has grown a central nervous system and is developing intelligence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming a much smarter planet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of this decade, every little thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no matter how specialized, mundane or disposableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will come equipped with its own dedicated stash of big-data smarts.â&#x20AC;?

These will be able to communicate with a network system and their output analysed to draw conclusions, make plans, or make adjustments. This is otherwise called the Internet of Everything (IoE). CISCO (network suppliers) commissioned a study that identified global benefits from IoE. They found this new wave of innovation could boost global GDP by as much as $15 trillion over the next 10 years, which is like adding a further 25% to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth or doubling the size of the US economy.

Sources of Value Created â&#x20AC;˘ Customer experience - $3.7 trillion â&#x20AC;˘ Innovation (time to market) - $3.0 trillion â&#x20AC;˘ Supply chain (eliminating waste) - $2.7 trillion â&#x20AC;˘ Asset utilisation (reduced costs) - $2.5 trillion â&#x20AC;˘ Staff productivity (efficiencies) - $2.5 trillion Use in Agriculture Water scarcity in Bali is increasingly critical from tourism demands and will become more acute as climate change make greater impact. Rice actually grows better when it is less frequently flooded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; flooding is used mainly to control weeds. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has been used to improve productivity with less water and better management and some trials have occurred in Java using sensors to advise (via wireless) release when more water is needed. In the rest of the world sensors are becoming increasing common in improving crop yields and reducing the need for fertilizers, pesticides and water. For example, cotton growers in Australia who are using soil moisture sensors have almost doubled their yields per megalitre of water when they vary irrigation rates according to the localised needs of the soil and plants. http://www.smartpaddy.eu/ is an IoE project developed by the European Union for improved rice production yields.

IoE in Your Pocket You most likely already have an IoE example in your pocket. The average smart phone is full of sensors and the means to communicate via wireless to other systems.

In a recent example of their combined use, Australian scientists used smart phones to measure the level of street noise and its impact on stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only want to sample when the phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your hand, so the program determines if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a bag, pocket or case, by using its light monitor, accelerometer and proximity sensors, to determine its position and unwanted data can then be discarded,â&#x20AC;? says Dr Rajib Rana from CSIRO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;GPS readings are used to determine movement below 6 kilometres per hour, which is the average speed of the person walking, and a valid GPS signal means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outdoors.â&#x20AC;? The noise level and GPS co-ordinates are then sampled every minute and stored along with the location and time, before being uploaded to the database when a free Wi-Fi connection is detected. What is demonstrated here is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;network effectâ&#x20AC;? of benefits that you can realize by increasing the interconnection, instrumentation and intelligence of a cloud of IoE phones.

RFID Tags Secured identification of artwork is a major concern for galleries, owners and artists alike. New identification opportunities available now include Radio Frequency (RFID) tags, some of which have been developed specifically for museums and galleries. These labels can be read from a range of around 4 metres, and you can read about 200 a second.

What does this mean? â&#x20AC;˘ A suitably secured label can be used to maintain

authenticity of the art work. â&#x20AC;˘ The art work can be tracked wherever it goes. â&#x20AC;˘ Inventory checks can be performed in seconds without having to look behind paintings or take them (or other artefacts) out of tubes or drawers. â&#x20AC;˘ Artists and gallery owners can get their jobs done easily and quickly, with superb outcomes.

Can you see a use for RFID in your business operations?

Cost of IoE A passive RFID tag embedded in a thermal transfer label on which you can print a bar code costs from 15 cents and up.

Volume is a key factor in price. The price of readers is rapidly dropping too, ranging from under $100 to $750. Distance Readers, just like GPS systems now, are likely to be available in smart phones by the end of this decade.

Wearable IoE In an example of the Human Internet of Things, a Swiss art museum asked visitors to volunteer for an experiment that involved them wearing a glove with a wireless RFID sensor plus a wireless heart rate sensor that you fit over your finger.

The RFID sensor was able to tell them exactly where volunteers went in the museum and how long they stayed at a particular place, while the heart rate sensor gave them emotional feedback at each location. Other variants of this wearable technology are already being sold â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like the Nike FuelBand, FitBits and Google Glass. Home applications include Nest Thermostat and Revolv.

How can IoE help you in retailing? â&#x20AC;˘ Improved accuracy and time saving by scanning RFID tags instead of keying in product details for receipts and sales. â&#x20AC;˘ Improved information dashboards to advise on sales conversions, inventory effectiveness, staff effectiveness. â&#x20AC;˘ Many stores are suffering lost sales of around 7% just be cause they are not replenishing store stock. But imagine if you could walk through your store and take a 3 minute inventory to compare with your computer-held stock plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C;and you have a list of what you need urgently to improve your sales. â&#x20AC;˘ An RFID tag could let smart phone shoppers know exactly where to go in the shop to find the item. â&#x20AC;˘ You can provide training support to your staff direct to their own phone through an app. â&#x20AC;˘ Shoppers can get critical advice on product benefits and features to help conversions. â&#x20AC;˘ Shoppers can be advised of suitable up-sell and cross-sell products. â&#x20AC;˘ Video displays tailored to a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal requirements shown on their phone.

Some hospitals are now using RFID tags within staff tags to ensure proper hand washing compliance as a means of reducing infections. Other examples available now: trucks fleet management, medical equipment control, vending machines inventory, construction equipment, gas and electric meters, thermostats, household appliances, advertising display signs, and many others.

Impact on education and Jobs The impact on people and jobs will be profound and disruptive. Old jobs will disappear, new jobs not even thought of yet will become essential, and existing jobs will often need major reconfiguration. The benefits available from staff inclusiveness and collaboration will require extensive new training.

Supporting services for these needs will be a whole new industry in itself. An example: one key element needed to make the Internet of Everything really fly is the analytical smarts to make use of all that data pouring in. It is estimated that the worlds need for analytical skills will be four times the current availability.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you?

Next issue we will examine how you can best apply the Internet of Everything to your own business.

Bali’s First Surfer Made Switra and his 1930’s surfboard

By Skye Laphroaig

Sometime in 1936, an American named Bob Koke and his partner Louise Garret, came to Bali, in the Dutch East Indies, to spend a few weeks painting and taking photographs. Very soon after arriving they decided to open a small hotel. Leasing the land from locals, Bob and Louise built the Kuta Beach Hotel, which was very basic, and somewhat isolated from the tourist areas of Sanur and Denpasar.

One day Bob took a break from building his hotel and strolled down to the breakers for a surf on his homemade Honolulustyle surfboard. He had learned to surf when he was in Hawaii.

That afternoon, Bob Koke was the only surfer in the water for thousands of miles. Bob’s sur¿ng soon became a regular sight at Kuta beach, generating plenty of interest. Eventually guests and locals began participating. It was the beginning of Bali’s long and unique sur¿ng history.

Year’s later, Made Switra’s grandfather, Kak Ketut, found Koke’s discarded 6’4” surfboard and took it home. He used it as a board to cut his ¿sh. It was a long time before his grandson, legendary surfer Switra, discovered its whereabouts.

KUTA IN THE 30’S Back in 1930 surfboards were pretty different.

Usually made from hollowed-out teak wood, they were very heavy and quite hard to manoeuvre. It must have been quite a sight for the local ¿sherman watching a man on his own in the waves, balancing on a piece of wood, riding it all the way into shore. During the 1930’s Koke had learned to surf while living in Hawaii and loved the lifestyle. In 1936, while travelling through China and Japan, he decided to make a detour to the Island of Bali with the ‘romantic vision’ of discovering an island paradise.

“The minute I saw the beach, I saw breakers”, Bob Koke told Sur¿ng Indonesia Magazine. “I knew immediately then, that they were better than I’d had in Hawaii. In Waikiki you had to go way out in order to get to the breakers.”

It is hard to imagine how ¿shermen must have felt while watching Koke on Kuta Beach in 1936. He was a pioneer, looking across the pristine beach from within a jungle landscape, with perfect waves rolling in. Overwhelmed by their amazing discovery, Bob and Louise eventually ditched their remaining travel plans and took up residence in Bali. Before long, they developed the idea of building basic, local-style accommodation on the beach, in among the ¿shermen’s huts.

SURFING FRONTIER When Koke arrived on this ‘virgin island’ he created the lifestyle we enjoy today.

He also single-handedly launched what was to become one of the most lucrative industries in the nation. With a couple of Hawaiian-style redwood planks, Koke recreated the ‘Waikiki beach boy vibe’ along beautiful sands of Kuta beach.

A lull in surf exploration occurred during WWII and Indonesia’s struggle for independence. It wasn’t until Australian

surfers rediscovered the sur¿ng potential of Bali in the late 1960ƍs that the island became a famous surfing travel destination. In the wake of this modern-day gold rush, I Made Switra was born in the original village of Kuta Asli. The second of ¿ve brothers (all surfers) Made was so driven by his calling to be a ¿sherman, he would stand by the ocean every day, watching his father rowing the boat to back to shore, with his catch.

By the age of six, Made took many risks and swam too far from shore.

He almost drowned several times. Each time this happened, his concerned father would place him in a fishing basket and haul him way up into a tree. And there he would stay, for hours at a time, until rescued by his mother. Luckily Made’s older cousin, Wayan Picar, came to the rescue and introduced him to sur¿ng.

HISTORICAL CATCH After years as a ¿sherman, Switra’s father followed his calling to become ‘head Pemanku’ (priest) in Kuta, and young Made would spend hours cleaning the temple for his father. He delivered ¿sh soup to the poor ¿shermen and eventually worked in Bali Barrel shop for local surfing hero and entrepreneur Ketut Menda. After following this important process, Switra ¿nally made a career out of something he loved doing. One of the best athletes of his time, Made Switra surfed in many locations around the world, including nine Hawaiian seasons.

According to Switra, his grandfather had a fondness for shaping wooden boards and noticed the abandoned Koke board in his ¿shing village. Bapak decided to bring it home.

After being utilized as a chopping board, the 1930’s ‘collectors item’ was stored in the roof of the family home and rediscovered

by Made while he was at the family temple, cleaning.

MADE SWITRA Today, 40 year-old Switra is a soul surfer and artist. Coming from a traditional family of ¿sherman, Made loves the sea and is always near the water.

He catches 21 kilogram Spanish mackerel and surfs barrels at sunset. Switra is really into ¿shing and painting, He has spent the past 17 years organizing fishing tournaments including the recent Kuta Beach Tournament, where ¿sh are cooked on the beach and shared among friends with free beers and classic tales.

At what age did you start sur¿ng?

I always loved the ocean and when I was 8 years old I started sur¿ng with a very old board that someone left in the village. After that, when I was about 11 years old I met Ketut Menda and started to hang around Bali Barrel (his surf shop). I would sweep the Àoor and clean his jeep.

Who took you to surf Bali’s famous breaks?

Menda would let me borrow his Nev Surfboard, which was shaped by Neville Hyman, one of the best shapers from Australia. A short while after that, I met Made Kasim and Wayan Ganti and they took me to surf other places, like my ¿rst time sur¿ng at Padang-Padang when I was 14 or 15 years old.

Did you have a sponsor at that age?

In the beginning I didn’t have a sponsor. The Indonesian National Team took me to Japan at the age of 15 and I came 5th in the World Junior Series. After that event all the sponsors called me, and I became a Quiksilver teamrider. But they could not send me to Hawaii and I really wanted to surf Pipeline. So I went alone and stayed with big wave surfer Garrett McNamara and Gerry Lopez, who made Pipeline the world’s most important wave. They became my friends.

How did your father become a priest?

As a child I thought my father was too hard on me. But now he is the head of the Pemanku in Kuta, which has 13 banjars and I respect him. When my father was a ¿sherman he received many signs telling him to be a priest, but he resisted them to put food on the table. Eventually my father had severe problems walking. We took him to Sanglah Hospital but he already knew what had to be done and eventually submitted.

His body was covered in Balinese herbal medicine and then soon afterwards, the crutches were gone and he was healthy again.

When did you start painting?

I have loved art since I was a child. I always found myself inside the galleries in Ubud. When a painter from East Java lived in my house for two years, I learnt from watching him paint and we created some pieces together.

Made art

Would you ever sell the 1930’s original surfboard?

Actually I have two boards from that time. One is a secret and hidden away. The boards belong to my family. I don’t want to sell them because my heart is bigger than a piece of paper.

They are not my surfboards. They are from my history.

Do you still ¿nd the time to surf?

I have a boat for surfing or ¿shing trips. And when I feel good, I go surf. I am getting old!

So I just surf for fun, in the late afternoon, watching the sunset.

Where can we see your vintage surfboard?

Bob Koke’s longboard is still in Bali and you can see it on display at the Discovery Hotel during the annual Kuta Karnival.

First surfboard with L Ketut Back then boards had no ¿n, the Menda M Neville Hyman R Made surfer had to stand most facing Switra forward, trying to balance the board and not slide out.

What an amazing discovery for Made Switra. Bali is well known for having one of the richest sur¿ng cultures in the world, yet witnessing Kuta today, it is hard to imagine the utter innocence of beach life during Bob and Louise Koke’s time. They lived an enviable life in the ultimate ‘last paradise’. And while sur¿ng adventurers still travel to Bali, the ‘innocent charm’ of that era is now well and truly in the past.

GREENSPEAK

Changing the Face of TV in Indonesia

Generally speaking, television in most of the world is pretty awful, and Indonesia is no exception. Waiting my turn at the bank (the only television I ever see) I’m constantly appalled by the banal, saccharine silliness of sitcoms and slapstick programming.

This is a big issue with me. Television is a tremendous opportunity to educate, inform and change behaviors, but around the world it’s more often about money, and less about social bene¿t. While television and media here in Indonesia is evolving in a number of positive directions, many – maybe most – of Indonesia’s young people are still unaware of their country’s rich heritage of human cultures, nature and natural resources. This huge and growing demographic will be running the country in a decade or so, and it’s still primarily being fed a television diet of celebrities and dangdut instead of factual, informative and topical programming.

and Papua, BumiHijau also reaches smaller islands including Sumbawa, Lombok, Batam and Bali. The BumiHijau TV network has become its own unit within Jungle Run with creative, technical and design teams headed by Joe. Most programming is in English with Indonesian subtitles. This decision was taken after discussion with local broadcasters, who felt that it would help improve the viewers’ English while providing information in the vernacular.

With the structure in place, BHTV is beginning to look for sponsors, companies and organizations keen to get involved.

Everything so far has been accomplished in-house, supported by Jungle Run’s production work. “We’re looking for blank spots on the map, cities where other broadcasters don’t reach” Joe told me. “Our goal is to bring intelligent TV to farthest corners of the archipelago while building bridges to the emerging end of the emerging market for those looking to get messages out ef¿ciently.”

“Our goal is to bring intelligent TV to farthest corners of the archipelago When Indonesia began to open up about 10 years ago, the culture of censorship loosened and when I speak to young journalists and students now I’m impressed by their fearlessness. But even with access to the internet, they need inspiration and direction about how to ¿nd information. How can they be expected to manage this country in the decades to come if they aren’t informed about crucial issues like waste management, environmental sustainability, sexually transmitted disease, water and sanitation and so much more?

Since January 2010 this has been changing. Now thoughtful, international-class documentaries about the environment and social issues can be viewed across the archipelago. BumiHijau TV (Green Earth Television) is an initiative of Joe Yaggi and his team at Jungle Run Productions (PT Media Nusantara Film). Ubud-based Jungle Run produces, crews and manages over 30 hours of documentary programming a year and is well networked in the industry.

BumiHijau TV is ahead of the curve, connecting local television and viewers and social media while pushing the boundaries of it all. “More important than the programming gap are the people who will watch. If you can put good programming on TV you’ll ¿nd an audience and in fact that is what is happening.” A recent survey revealed that the BHTV network reaches 36.5 million viewers, while the number of BHTV partners has grown over 50% in the last year.

“I saw a massive gap in the programming and wanted to ¿ll it,” said Joe, who’s lived in Indonesia for 20 years. “I grew up watching National Geographic and Wild Kingdom, which were a huge inÀuence on my life. I realized that there was an opportunity with local TV in Indonesia to get these programs out to people who would never otherwise have a chance to see them.” Pay TV penetration is only 6% here while terrestrial free-to-air TV is over 95%. “At the same time, there’s been a dearth of factual programming available on terrestrial television for this massive viewer market. So one of the primary goals of BumiHijau TV is to bring quality factual television to the grassroots, to the emerging markets in Indonesia.”

Joe and his team threw Facebook into the mix in June. With daily updates and topical info they have garnered nearly 5,000 organic likes. Through Facebook, Joe and his team ask viewers what they care about and what they wanted to see.

Feedback and responses have included, “Can we use plastic to make walls for houses? Can we turn it into a liquid we can use?” “If we plant a lot of trees we will decrease the heat, our air will be cleaner and there will be fewer Àoods.” “Why are we killing animals and ruining the ecosystem? They were given to us by God, it’s our responsibility to look after it.” “We have to stop cutting trees and save our forests.” “With BumiHijau TV my family and I have an opportunity to learn more about our planet.” A university professor in Palembang in South Sumatra wrote, “I tell my students to watch Bumi Hijau. Can you do a program about smoking in Indonesia?”

It took years of networking to put the concept together, but now BHTV streams thought-provoking, socially relevant programming to 56 stations reaching 24 provinces across the archipelago.

In Indonesia, the national television station TVRI has just 1.5% of the viewers. Otherwise, the industry is dominated by 12 broadcasters run by a handful of families. About ten years ago a new law opened the door to local, privately owned television stations for the ¿rst time. There are now about 300 local stations around the country ranging widely in size and reach.

At present BumiHijau TV’s partner stations cover 43 cities in what Joe calls an ‘unwired’ television network. “We have a library of exclusively held programming from the BBC series Earth Report, Life, Hands On and others, as well as our own material,” Joe explained. “We have enough programming to set up the stations for stripping and they run our programs from three to seven days a week which, amazingly, now means that BumiHijau TV programs are running an average of 20 hours per day from Aceh to Papua... it makes my head spin.”

BumiHijau TV presently ranks ¿fth out of 17 broadcasters in penetration of Indonesia’s large cities. With stations across the bigger islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi

“Stuff like this comes in all the time,” said Joe. “Linking social media and television is an important part of this and the BumiHijau TV Facebook page is becoming a social forum.

With internet penetration at 27% (Bali has the highest per capita at 38%), social media is changing the fabric of Indonesian society while television remains the primary way people get their information. So we’re hoping to expand awareness of what this all means through an interesting mix of programming covering relevant issues of the day.”

Who are these viewers? On average, 35% are professionals or small business owners. About 64% of them are university or high school graduates. And they’re split 60:40 between Java and the rest of the archipelago.

programming like this.” This year’s Denpasar Film Festival featured 65 documentaries made in Indonesia. BumiHijau TV plans to take the top 12 of these and build them into a series that will run across the country.

Young Indonesians are incredibly engaged and want to change their lives and the world around them Bringing his experience working with broadcasters like the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery to bear, Joe and his team are planning a range of home-grown programs featuring local heroes, entrepreneurs and the people who are shaping and inÀuencing the country. One of these, presently in post-production, follows the inspirational Sri Lestari, a paraplegic woman who recently rode her modi¿ed motorcycle from Jakarta to Bali.

BHTV staff know from FaceBook feedback that viewers are aware of the issues. Responses to films covering issues of waste have been so strong that the BHTV team is putting together a series called Reformasi Sampah (Waste Reform), a curated series that looks at waste and the issues around it from a variety of angles. “It has to be engaging and kinda sexy to get people thinking,” said Joe. “We’ll combine hip music clips, humor and great stories about technology from around the world to reach a wide range of viewers.” The series will also highlight local efforts from across the archipelago, like the burgeoning system of Bank Sampah that are paying people for trash, recycling and composting. “The series will run across an entire week and culminate with the award-winning documentary Trashed with Jeremy Irons. It’s like Shark Week with real bite!”

Understanding the importance of role models for young people, BHTV is plans to develop presenter-led programs that speak directly to this new generation. “I believe there is a generational shift happening here and it seems to be gaining steam. Young Indonesians are incredibly engaged and want to change their lives and the world around them. We’re talking about direct, peer-to-peer communication combining social media and appropriate television programming into a new communications platform.”

BumiHijau can be seen locally here on Bali TV, Tempo TV cable, Lombok Post TV, in West Bali on JTV Banyuwangi and soon on More TV cable.

Broadcast times are updated daily on facebook.com/ bumihijau.tv

Joe goes on, “At present we’re running pre-produced material but since inception original programming and a show case of local indie ¿lmmakers has always been part of the DNA of BumiHijau TV. And we’re gearing up for 2014 to be the time to start new productions. One of our missions is use the network to help make documentary style programming available to the masses while giving local independent ¿lmmakers a possibility of a home on television. And we believe that local viewers are ready and eager for

We were intrigued by this circus activity and the description on their website attracted us: “Imagine hanging from your knees and swinging on the trapeze, then the freedom of Àying through the air and the thrill of being caught by one of our experienced professional staff. Overcome selfdoubt, build your con¿dence with a whole new skill set and recharge your batteries in a challenging but safe environment. Trapeze is a fun activity for all the family, and a chance to try something beyond the normal beach and temple activities in Bali…” We contacted the marketing team and found out that this activity was open to all children from 5 years old and decided to try it out with 8 children, all between the ages of 8 and 11 years old.

High Flyers Bali is relatively new on the island. It was founded in 2012 and is located on the grounds of the Bali Dynasty Resort in South Kuta. The trapeze, or rig, is a “Mini Volant” rig imported from the USA and is ideally suited for beginners of all ages. The Mini Volant is a three-framed structure that uses mats instead of a safety net. It is essentially the same as a full-size Àying trapeze but scaled down in height, swing and distance but the excitement is just the same. It fully complies with international safety standards and the organisation is highly professional. The trapeze activity is available to both guests of the resort as well as visitors.

Our team had a very special day with High Flyers because we celebrated the birthday of Angelie, one of our favourite Bali with Kids followers! We arrived at 10:30am and both the garden and the trapeze were decorated with Happy Birthday banners and balloons. Of course Angelie was thrilled and her friends too. No less than ¿ve friendly instructors were waiting for us and they quickly made the children feel secure.

smiles, screams, adrenaline and the ¿nal sense of selfachievement. We made the most of the activity for one hour and it was hard to convince the children to stop.

The fun did not stop there as our party continued to the Kid Water Fun Zone that has one of the best swimming pools that we have ever tried in Bali. Why? A big slide and lots of water games in a clean and pleasant garden. Another full hour of fun made the children very happy and all were in high spirit.

Conditions are ideal for a children’s party but just remember to bring a hat and sun cream for the kids and for the parents too. All of us enjoyed cooling off, swimming, playing and chatting in the lovely pool.

At 1pm we moved to the restaurant, also decorated with colourful banners and balloons to make our birthday girl feel special. The children had a choice of juices or water and they devoured a plate of chips, pizza, nuggets, sausage rolls, egg sandwiches as well as fruit and cheese on a stick. We finished with the birthday cake and blowing out the candles.

By 2:30pm we felt nicely tired and ready to go back home and relax. For parents, a birthday celebration with High Flyers will guarantee the success of the party and be a special treat for the kids. Besides, it is extremely easy to organize.

You will not have to do anything apart from contacting Mark who will organize it all for you. Not a bad option really!

Classes: High Flyers Bali hold classes 6 days each week in the afternoons (closed Mondays) and they cost Rp 325,000 for a single lesson of approximately 75 minutes. They also have a Family Package rate for 4 classes for 4 people at a special rate of Rp 1,000,000. Please note that all Àyers under the age of 12 should be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult for the duration of the class. They also run a Saturday Trapeze Club and you can purchase multiple sessions at a discounted rate. For KTP and KITAS holders, the rate is Rp 1,400,00 for 10 sessions starting at 9.30am sharp and lasting for approximately one hour. Residents can also obtain a “LISTO” loyalty programme card for Rp 1,600,000 and you will have Àexibility to book classes when it suits. The card is valid for 90 days from the date of purchase. Contact Marketing for the price of your Birthday Package.

We started with a training session and a brief and fun warm up where kids learned basic positions on the ground. They were then shown their ¿rst trick: how to hang from the trapeze bar and bring their legs up. The group practised a few more exercises that are essential to become familiar with the positions and to ensure that arms and body remain safe and comfortable during the What a great way to stay ¿t, to challenge you mentally and activity.

27 November - 11 December, 2013

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE NOVEMBER 27 - DECEMBER 11, 2013

The two planetary changes this fortnight are Mercury moving into Sagittarius on December 5 and Mars into Libra on December 8, 2013. As the fortnight begins, Mercury has returned to its retrograde turning degree and we are back on track now with our mental occupations. Thinking will become more expansive and from a higher perspective as the shift into Sagittarius takes place. Higher ideals are now possible as we’ve plodded through the underworld over these past few weeks and discarded a lot of what no longer serves us. Mars moving out of Virgo and into Libra lends to more action and less planning. The New Moon cycle begins on the 3rd at 11 degrees of Sagittarius in trine to Uranus who is now parting ways with Pluto. You may be feeling the easing of pressure this fortnight as we’ve begun to finally pull clear of the square formation and the synodic square to the !966 Uranus/Pluto conjunction. A breath of fresh air then this fortnight with planets in that more enlightened sign of Sagittarius. Venus continues in Capricorn and with its retrograde beginning late in December, will stay there until March. She moves all the way up to very late degrees of Capricorn before reversing and returning to the 13 degree mark which she inhabited on November 20. This is an exceptionally long time for Venus to remain in a sign; normally taking a month to six weeks to traverse a sign. There’s relationship work to be done over the coming months.

NEW MOON 10 Sagittarius 59 December 3, 2013 8:23 a.m.

ARIES Mars moves into your polar opposite sign this fortnight and sits in your house of relationship. There will be some opposition from others as you stride out on your own this fortnight. They may require a little more of your company than you are comfortable with. This long Venus transit is in your house of career and with that your focus will be on what you love to do to earn a living. Remember you have lots of time to mull it over so no hasty decisions on this front are required. Venus also rules relationships and so many of you are being asked for a longer commitment from your significant other.

LIBRA Mars Is transiting into your sign and first house this fortnight and adds some alone time to your busy schedule. Others may confront your need for solitude but with the stress coming from the Venus in Capricorn in your home arena you may want to work at this harmonizing of work, home, relationship and individual expression. Uranus is still revolutionizing your partnership house and the Jupiter bringing changes to your career plans, potentially nurturing new ideas into being. Remember that Venus in Capricorn stays in Capricorn and the fourth house/home until March next year. It’s going to take time.

TAURUS Venus your ruler is in your ninth house of travel and brings a focus to adventure and higher learning. There is a serious undertone to all of your dealings with foreigners and there could well be a rather long drawn out affair involving one of them which began towards the end of November. The New Moon in your eighth house of transformation sees this theme continuing and supporting the Venus issues this fortnight. Uranus is urging you forward in the sign of Aries with a harmonious trine to the New Moon and highlights the need for individualized connection to Source or the Divine aspect within your life.

SCORPIO Saturn in the first house of selfexpression is bringing you a few lessons over the next year and the Nodal placement here has brought you people who inspire you to be yourself and letting go of relationships which no longer serve you. Venus in Capricorn is in your third house of communication and there will be some commitments to be made verbally or on paper with partners, both romantic and business. You may have some schedules and contracts to draw up as well. Pluto your ruler continues to highlight this transformation in your verbal expression.

Many may well be studying at this time.

GEMINI Mercury is finally back on track and about to move from your house of work and into the house of relationship. There could well be some philosophical discussions within your relationships throughout this month. Venus in Capricorn sits in your eighth house of shared resources, so it’s a good thing that discussions have arisen to the heights rather than being focused on the mundane and the petty.

Mars fresh in Libra is influencing your romantic self, so it could be that many of you are in the beginning stages of a new romance and this brings the need to lay things openly on the table in an honest way.

SAGITTARIUS Jupiter is bringing some introspection to the transformation cycle that you have been in for the past year and a half.

This New Moon in your first house of self-expression will have you making some journeys for yourself.

So much of what you’ve been doing over the past year, has been for the benefit of others. A new cycle begins with this New Moon and a cycle that will last for another year.

Mercury also is about to enter into this first house and you will be sharing some of the insight that you’ve gleaned during this time. Your ideals have changed, what you valued before no longer applies.

CANCER This Sagittarian New Moon is in your work sector and will bring some higher ideals into play with regard to your relationships with work colleagues. Remember Venus is spending an extra-long time in Capricorn and this is your polar opposite sign. It will entail a great deal of balancing and re-balancing over the next few months. Saturn the ruler of Capricorn will continue in the sign of Scorpio throughout this transit and strongly affects your house of creativity. This could be a time for you to bring more structure to creative projects and to ask for assistance in bringing them into form.

CAPRICORN Saturn in Scorpio is in your eleventh house of community and friendships and you’ve no doubt felt the transformation in these areas over the past year and a half. Pluto as you well know stays in your first house for a long time to come and as always this letting go of self-identity and allowing the new you to be reborn is in this ongoing process. The revelations to date have been trying and inspiring. Without a regular foothold to adhere you may feel compelled to create a counter balance for yourself.

This balance is the nurture and growth potential you feel through deep relationship to others.

LEO This fortnights Sun is in your creative sector and has some inspirational new ideas impulsing you to express yourself in a more outlandish fashion than is the norm for you.

Venus in Capricorn during the next few months will be highlighting your health and the determination required for you to stay on track with your diet and exercise regimes as well as focussing on doing those things which make you feel happy about yourself in a service orientation. Mars moving into Libra will bring more communication and expression into your relationships. You want to move forward on a creative writing project now.

AQUARIUS Uranus urges you forward in your self-expression through writing, social networking and verbal communication with the on-going challenge coming through your connection to higher or divine sources. This spiritual awakening may have come upon you unexpectedly, but is a part of the transformational journey for you. There is a reconnection to Source through the understanding of science potentially highlighting the integration of this Divine Self. You find yourself in the right place at the right time and expressing your unique and individual self like never before. A true eccentric in times of revolutionary change.

VIRGO Mercury your ruler has well and truly moved forward now after its retrograde and as it moves into Sagittarius brings some great new communicative healing to the home front. Venus in Capricorn is highlighting your creative expression and will give you the determination and stamina to persevere and finish long term projects. Mars is bringing with it a little balance to your material and financial needs and also the sharing of these resources with those you love. This can be quite a balancing act unto itself. Chiron in Pisces in its long term transit to your relationship house, continues to bring healing.

PISCES Neptune in Pisces in your first house is enabling you to express your authentic and divine nature spontaneously. Unable to discern yourself from others is often a challenge as you merge effortlessly through the experience of oneness.

This merging or empathic potential can be disconcerting and you must cleanse your field regularly. Venus in Capricorn is in your eleventh house of community and friendships and there will be a lot of work and reevaluating in this area of your life. Relationships take on a tone of friendship rather than lover. Saturn is your ninth house of travel and is delving into your foreign connections.

HECTOR’S Get Smart! Get Agent 99 It may all have blown over by the time this edition of the Diary appears. (Well, no it won’t, even though it certainly should have.) The piquant sauce de jour these days is the spy scandal that has embroiled Indonesia and Australia. A quick point: It was Kevin wot dun it, the Nambour Kid, saviour of the universe and serial winner of the motor-mouth prize. This is not to be unkind to the former Australian prime minister. It’s just that, well, he is the former Australian prime minister. He’s not even in parliament any longer. He decided since being re-elected on Sept. 7 as the member for Griffith – disclosure: the seat, in Brisbane, was once the Diary’s domicile for the purpose of scribbling gratuitous advice on ballot papers – that since the Australian people had belled him out it was all too much and he’d be better off saving the world from someplace else.

Nor is this to say that the present incumbent, Tony Abbott, wouldn’t have signed off on the same scam if he’d been in the big office at the time. But let’s not forget that 2009 was a particularly complex phrase in the long narrative of the world. The Bali bombings of 2002 and 2005, the Australian embassy bombing in Jakarta in 2004, the Marriott attack in 2003 and the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton bombings in 2009, created difficult circumstances.

Indonesia was facing down – very creditably, it should be noted – a significant domestic terrorism threat.

Traditionally, governments don’t comment on intelligence matters. This isn’t because they haven’t got any – it just looks like that sometimes. It wasn’t very smart to eavesdrop on President SBY – heck, it wasn’t even Maxwell Smart (lady Agent 99 was so much smarter) – but, well, that’s why democracies nurture journalists: to keep the bastards honest. Though journalists don’t always write everything they know either, for all sorts of reasons; legal, chiefly, or corporate or political, or sometimes for selfpreservation.

It would be invidious to speculate on the real reasons the Australians and Americans bugged the presidential hand phone. Suffice to say it probably wasn’t to find out what SBY says when the chauffeur turns up late; or that it was even about the president himself at all. The real villain in this piece is Edward Snowden, the latest “heroic” leaker, a man who like so many others these days is without honour. Without his imbecilic cyber incontinence this silly situation would not have arisen. If he didn’t like what he was doing he should have resigned and gone away.

The world only needs one Julian Assange. And even that’s debatable.

Watch Out An incident in Seminyak the other day serves as a timely reminder that the crowded tourism-oriented parts of South Bali are not necessarily crime-free safe areas, despite claims to that effect by various figures in authority who would obviously like it to be thought that everything here on the Island of the Dogs is just hunky-dory.

It’s not a bit like Dodge City, really it isn’t. No, really. We hear that a knife-wielding bandit assaulted an expat man in broad daylight outside a convenience store in Jl Oberoi, plainly intent on robbery. His intended target did the sensible thing and ran away. What’s more, he ran straight to the local banjar and told them the story. Apparently they caught the miscreant.

We hope he was simply handed over to the police. There was a dreadful case reported in another area – not all that far away – some months ago when a man stole Rp800K from a local warung and ran. A mob caught him, stripped him naked to humiliate him, and then beat him to death. They threw his body into a ditch. It was said at the time that the police did not regard it as an incident worth investigating since the robber had been caught and the crime had therefore been solved. Murder is apparently not murder in a wide range of circumstances.

Grub Alert

Bali Advertiser

27 November - 11 December, 2013

who come to public attention are men. This is distinctly displeasing to many of us who are represented by the little arrow on the gender signs you see around nowadays, instead of that friendly plus. It is especially irritating to the majority of men who are tired of being implicated in what is apparently seen as a global rape collective. This is not to downplay the serious nature of assault and especially that by random men on passing women. We often wish we had not disposed of our lovely riding crop, once used as a friendly guide to various mounts upon which we have cantered. In circumstances such as that just reported in Ubud it would have been good to have been in the area and to have had it to hand. Pak Groper would still be in a very sorry state if that had been the case.

But that said, it’s a pity that what is primarily a male sickness from elsewhere – lack of respect for the persons of women (as opposed to their social and economic status, which remains a burdensome problem in many places) and of their absolute right not to be molested – is gaining a foothold in other cultures that really should know better.

Perhaps the man involved in this incident has some sensible friends or family who have pointed out the demerits of being a grub. We can but hope. It would be a shame if incidents like this – to say nothing of the one reported in the first item – caused further damage to Bali’s reputation as a place to have a holiday. Such things can no longer be safely ignored because they can be made to disappear.

Nowadays there is nowhere to hide. Everywhere is in the international spotlight, even Bali.

Where There’s a Will...

Now on to happier things: This gave us a lovely giggle when we saw it on the Ubud Community page on Facebook – a conversation between a man and a land buyer. Thank you to Ani Somia for posting it and her Dad for, well, sending at least one acquisitive land-grabber off with a flea in his ear. Ani’s post put it this way (it’s verbatim here for the full flavour):

Wheel of Fortune Rotary clubs are always a hive of action and Rotary Club of Bali Seminyak is no exception. Coffee drinker Barb Mackenzie tells us – via the RCBS Facebook page – of one seasonally worthy cause that surely deserves support.

Rotarian John Glass told the club’s Nov. 13 meeting (held as always at Warisan, a fine watering place) that the Seeds of Hope Children’s Home in Dalung, between Denpasar and Canggu, is looking for Christmas presents for the live-in orphans at the home. Sixty-seven children aged from 10 months to 18 years live at the home, which has a special Christmas party planned for Dec. 22. It’s suggested that appropriate gifts valued at around Rp200K could be given to a specific child on the day. The kids like music, board games, CDs, arts and crafts, sports equipment and toiletries.

C/BT/I-29 May 13

The home is also looking for a volunteer Santa on Dec. 22 if anyone fancies wearing a hot white beard. We’d do it ourselves except that our frequently preferred stubble – a Jimmy Barnes-style three-day growth – is probably not quite what Santa’s helpers are looking for. It’s the right colour, but perhaps that’s not enough.

A Canadian woman who lives in Ubud reported on Facebook recently that an Indonesian man had molested her in the street as she was going home after dinner in the evening. He groped one of her breasts and then left the scene, doubtless to boast of his triumph to any of his friends who, similarly mentally defective, would utter the Balinese or Indonesian equivalents of “Phwaar!” and think him a good chap rather than the mental midget he plainly is.

Guest speaker at the RCBS meeting on Nov.13 was India’s consul-general in Bali, Amarejeet Singh Takhi. He’s India’s first consul-general here and took up his post in January 2012. He reminded his many listeners – the lunch was well attended – that Indonesia and India have trade and cultural links that go back two millennia.

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

Lola with Love!

LOLA the 2nd is found on the mezzanine level at the L [for Love] Hotel on Jln. Raya Petitenget.

LOLA the 1st [no connection] was a leading French restaurant on Raya Kerobokan during the initial boom days for Bali dining, the premises now a BII Bank.

For a restaurant in a hotel LOLA tries to be very different.

Centre piece is a small pool, behind glass, which no doubt helps keep the area cool. To one side of the restaurant is a special table for romantic dining, Lovers Corner, two large lounge type chairs face a glass-topped table through which a small waterfall cascades into the pool. Very different!

First glance at the menu may lead you to think that this is just another Asian restaurant! Stop, look and taste, LOLA is much more than that. Quality kitchen techniques are obvious when you first see, and then taste this food.

Beef Carpaccio with a foie gras wasabi foam, Goat Cheese with mango, peppers and a balsamic vinaigrette] and the unusual [Camembert Burger on ciabatta, Kway Teow noodles with prawn, baby bok choy and corn plus chilli jam].

Pasta includes Fettuccine with chilli and a Mushroom Risotto with truffle oil and Parmesan.

: LOLA

Address

: Jl. Raya Petitenget, Kerobokan.

Telephone

: 473.3147.

Open

: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Non-Smoking Area : Yes.

Other mains also include the normal mix of International [Fish & Chips, Crisp Barramundi Fillet] some local specials such as an excellent Opor Ayam, chicken pieces so tender plated with nasi kuning, mixed vegetables and sambal goreng. The Pork Belly is served with crisp skin alongside noodles and a papaya lime salad.

An unusual main to be found on a Bali menu is their Beef Wellington [pictured]. Prime fillet of beef is topped with a spread of pate then wrapped in filo pastry and baked in the oven. Oven baked steaks are always far better than those via the fiery grill, the pastry wrapping adding to the finished product by keeping all the juices inside, the result a tender steak to savour.

Thai Fish Cakes appear on many menus in Bali and almost all bear zero resemblance to the original Tod Man Pla of Thailand but are merely Fish Patties. Maybe with a sprig of coriander mixed in, nice but not the original.

Amongst the vegetarian offerings is a tasty Vegetarian Laksa, Singapore’s favourite dish without the prawns.

Other entrée and snack items are a mix of essential standard International [Caesar, Soft Shell Crab, Gazpacho] International with an Asian touch [Thailand Tom Yum Goong,

Restaurant

The current Chef’s Special, with pride of place in the menu centre, is Szechuan Orange Chicken. Served in a stainless steel bowl it consists of amazingly tender pieces of chicken that have been tossed in the wok with long beans, baby corn slices, mushrooms and red chillies. Big on flavour and big on heat! There is no toning down of taste for the non adventurous tourist, this is the real thing!

It begins at the beginning! The bread is good and to present a small amuse bouche at a restaurant of this price is a pleasant surprise. Nothing exotic but a warm Dutch style Bitterballen served on a spoon, beside a small glass of thick tomato-based cold Gazpacho.

At LOLA they actually try to get it right, the fish minced very finely to produce an almost rubbery consistency. The menu says Sweet and Sour sauce to accompany, very Chinese, in fact it is Sweet Chilli, very Thai, though not the usual cucumber relish of Tod Man Pla.

QUICK REVIEW

Dessert includes chocolate as always, Valrhona Fondant with tamarillo coulis or a Crème Brulee Trio of coconut, vanilla and valrhona chocolate. Others include Caramelized Lemon Tart, a Pavlova from the antipodes and a Grand Dessert selection for two persons.

It has been a welcome trend in 2013 for new mid range hotels to offer interesting dining options rather than the standard International mix, LOLA succeeds admirably, food with taste at budget prices.

: Yes.

Parking

: Valet parking.

: Rp. 500,000 for two [+ drinks]

Credit Cards

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

by Bill Dalton

Jazz, Perfume and the Incident

by Seno Gumira Ajidarma Ostensibly from its title you’d think this is a book of light-hearted short stories, but this is decidedly not the case.

The unorthodox structure of this supposedly cosmopolitan novel is a disguise. The searing emotional thrust of Jazz, Perfume & The Incident centers around one of the most shameful episodes in Indonesia’s modern history – the infamous massacre of civilians in Dili, the capital of East Timor. Euphemistically known as The Dili Incident, you need a strong stomach to read the eight depressing chapters entitled “Report on the Incident” nos. 1, 2, 3, etc.

On 12 November 1991, army and police forces attacked with deadly force men, women and children who were protesting the ongoing brutal military occupation of East Timor. Although the protesters were peaceful, carrying only flowers and flags of the Vatican in a funeral procession to the Santa Cruz cemetery, the military opened fire for 10 minutes on several columns of 2000 people. Based on eyewitness accounts from international journalists, parents, brothers and friends of those killed, the injured were pounded with rocks and boards with nails in them, soldiers cut off ears, forced people to drink the blood of the dead.

After truckloads of bodies were hauled off, firemen hosed off pools of blood from the streets. Television footage of the massacre sparked moral outrage around the world.

For months after the massacre the military used gangs of thugs to terrorize, intimidate and harass the population with arbitrary arrest, extra-judicial killings, disappearances, tapping phone lines and putting suspects under constant surveillance. Police-backed militias carried out vigilante raids, subjected family members of victims to electric shock, threatened torture against clergy. The book recounts how unmarried female relatives of suspects were stripped naked, beaten and raped, how soldiers fired on groups of people working in their fields.

At the time, Ajidarma was a short story writer, poet and managing editor of Jakarta-Jakarta, a glossy urban-focused lifestyle magazine. Overwhelmed by the intensity of the visceral reports coming out of East Timor, and recognizing his own government’s clumsy and blatant cover-up, he published several incendiary interviews with witnesses of the massacre, a very risky business in those days as news of the repressive occupation of Indonesia’s new 27th province had long been suppressed and distorted in the mainstream press.

The superb well-written introduction by the book’s translator Gregory Harris is essential to understanding the historical background of the event and placing the “reports” in the context of the times. It is in fact a short essay on the censorship practices of the militaristic Suharto regime in which much of the content of newspapers and magazines were regularly banned or news organizations outright shut down. In January 1992, fearing that his articles about “The Incident” would lead to a government crackdown on its magazine empire, the parent media company Garmedia fired Ajidarma. His case became a cause celebre for human rights activists.

Jazz, Perfume and the Incident contains the actual verbatim transcripts of people who had suffered or witnessed firsthand the torture, bizarre cruelties and shootings of at least 250 people. Knowing that Indonesia’s official censors paid little attention to literary titles published by small obscure presses outside the capital, Ajidarma used innocuous stories of jazz and perfume interlacing the book as a camouflage, what the Javanese call “lipstick,” to cover up the main gist of what the main theme was really about.

Ajidarma’s writing on the subjects of jazz and perfume are passionate, learned and elegantly written. With a backdrop of smoky nightclubs and flamboyant dissolute characters, the jazz vignettes feel like they took place in New York or Paris. He writes knowledgeably about blues singers, how the use of a mute shaped the trumpet playing styles of Louis Armstrong and Wynton Marsalis, and affectionately portrays Robert Johnson, John Coltrane and Miles Davis as immortal musical talents.

Ajidarma answers instinctively the intangible question “What is jazz?” by going back to the genre’s earliest roots, its traditions, influences, personalities, discographies, albums and films. He quotes from scholarly works on jazz to make his points. Like life itself, he explains that the improvisation and wounded-ness inherent in Jazz creates its own surprises - we never know where it will lead us. Jazz is an honest music, the sound of pure silence screaming, its raw quality an emancipation of the spirit. The strident, cracked, shrill voice of a trumpet echoes life’s blows. The writer is equally voluble on sultry women and intoxicating perfumes which he regards with equal parts wonder and perplexity.

C/R/I-18 Sept 13

What is unusual is the placement – fiction and non-fiction, the trivial and the tragic, the fanciful and hard-nosed reportage. Horrific accounts of a bloody massacre are interspersed among tales of bygone loves, favorite jazz recordings and signature exotic perfumes. This strange juxtaposition of seemingly dissimilar subjects is surprisingly effective. The reader bonds to the narrative, motivated to read on. Each installment of different phases of a shocking atrocity serve as a moral counterweight to the glitter and conspicuous consumption of Indonesia’s boom-time over-the-top capital.

This writer’s prose uses an evocative, original and stylish use of language - like the sound of jazz itself. There’s also a curmudgeonly and politically-incorrect quality to his writing, a refreshing respite from the usually polite, indirect and non-confrontational Indonesian manner of speech. He questions all. Nothing is sacred.

Welcome to

This jarring book reveals a heavily censored reality that journalists during the repressive Suharto regime dared not report, the dichotomy between a sophisticated urban life where women waft by in expensive perfumes and the simultaneous existence of a murderous army state in East Timor. Ajidarma combines the surreal and the actual in a way that stirs the blood.

Jazz, Perfume and the Incident by Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Lontar Foundation 2013, ISBN 978-602-914-4222, paperback, 200 pages, dimensions 14 cm X 21 cm.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

Sor Singgih - the Language of Respect Respect imbues all parts of Balinese society. This pretty much boils down to its complex Hindu caste system that affects not only people’s language but even ones behavior. While the Bali caste system is not as extreme as the Indian one that it was derived from, it still has a profound effect on the way people interact with each other.

C/G/G-13 Nov. 13

Respect between castes has always been marked by the use of different variations of Balinese language when talking to or about people of the different castes. Essentially the vocabulary and even intonation is different for each level of language, yet most Balinese seem to effortlessly switch in and out of the levels in daily usage. To make Balinese even more complicated, there is a special vocabulary reserved for the lowest of the low in Bali’s pecking order: the animals.

Bali is no longer feudal and it is a global community that is now a mish-mash of all different ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. Yet, somewhat defiantly, Balinese language and society to a large extent is still a place where respect based on caste and hereditary connections holds strong. It is true however that economic status and occupation/power in the village context comes into play also. So somebody who is of the outsider ‘caste’ or is not Balinese may be spoken to in a higher language (at least in part) because they are either cashed up or a village leader (or even the Governor of Bali, for that matter). On the other hand, someone who is born into high caste but is poor may not get the respect ‘deserved’ of their caste because everyone else is richer than them; nonetheless, other Balinese will still for the most part use high language to talk with them.

The high language, known as sor singgih, is considered to be the most difficult to learn, and you will earn great respect if you as an outsider even attempt a few sentences. However, you may have noticed that few non-Balinese choose to use or even learn Balinese, and you may be wondering why this is – I’ll explain in the next issue of Kulture Kid.

MONEY MATTERS

by Colin Bloodworth

QUANTITATIVE EASING AND TAPERING – ARE THEY GOOD FOR YOU? If you are not familiar with these financial-speak terms you might be forgiven for thinking they are some kind of medical procedures. They are words which you may have heard a hundred times in news broadcasts and they may seem to have little relevance to day-to-day life in Bali. But in the global village in which we now live terms like quantitative easing (QE) and tapering can affect the financial health of everyone. How can this be?

Firstly QE was devised as a tool by the US government to stimulate the sluggish economy that was emerging from the financial crisis of 2008. Other western countries followed to a more limited extent. The idea was to effectively print more money, albeit electronically, in the hope that with more money in circulation people would be encouraged to invest more and spend more. To a degree it was successful but perhaps not in the way intended.

Coupled with record low interest rates money started flowing to parts of the world which offered the fastest growth prospects.

Indonesia was one of the emerging markets that undoubtedly benefitted from the relatively easy money as investors sought higher returns outside the US. But it clearly cannot go on for ever. The value of money will diminish the more that is printed.

Money will pour into real assets to a point where their values soar. An example is property, where easy loans have pushed up prices faster than inflation in some parts of the world. There is also a risk that people will extend themselves beyond their means by over-borrowing. And the ultimate danger is that the bubble will burst, prices will fall and those who have borrowed too much will find themselves deeply in debt.

Just as happened in the US and parts of Europe in 2008.

Stock markets also risk reaching unrealistic highs as institutions and individuals seek higher returns than they can get with cash or bonds. We saw the Indonesian stock market rise sharply with the influx of foreign money.

easy money, a process that has given rise to the term ‘tapering’.

But tapering will come; it has to. So what is it likely to mean? There is certainly fear that it will result in a stock market correction and locally there is concern that the Rupiah will fall further. While this outcome is not certain it would be wise to bear it in mind in your financial planning.

The US economy is on the road to recovery and with the flow of easy money drying up the US Dollar is likely to strengthen against most currencies.

Some people are holding on to large amounts of cash in the hope of ‘jumping in’ when a big correction comes. They may get it right, but experience has shown that timing the markets is very difficult. The markets may go on rising for quite some time while cash in the bank loses its purchasing value daily. Keeping a healthy cash reserve at all times is important but steady investing through all market conditions across a wide range of asset classes will usually pay off in the long term. But keep expectations realistic. Many western countries are still heavily in debt and this is going to weigh on real returns for some time to come. If your investments can consistently beat inflation by a few percentage points you are doing well. Double digit returns are still possible but only if you are prepared to accept a higher level of risk. That should not be a problem if such investments form just a minor part of your investment strategy and you can tolerate some losses.

At the end of the day both QE and tapering are just economic tools whose aim is to ensure financial stability.

Understanding their impact may persuade you to make a few adjustments to your investment strategies but if your financial planning is on course they should not cause undue concern.

And this is where tapering comes in At the present time the US is printing in the region of $80 billion a month. Inflation is not yet a serious threat but the excessive cash swilling around will inevitably lead to inflation at some point. A few months ago the US Federal Reserve hinted that QE could be coming to an end before too long. The reaction was immediate. Stock markets fell, particularly in emerging markets such as Indonesia.

Currencies also plumetted in emerging markets with India and Indonesia being the worst affected. The US tried to calm the markets by assuring them that QE and low interest rates would continue for the foreseeable future.

But the markets are now wary; they know that every sharp rise in stock prices or positive employment report could result in the US government stemming the flow of

TUKIES CAFÉ

REALLY? 17 YEARS OF JAZZ?

It’s a transformation! My favorite little internet café opposite the market has turned into a cosy café! For years, owner Pak Ketut and his obliging team have helped travelers connect to the world, gradually expanding his services, to include printing, graphic design and other services. A really helpful, smiling bunch.

Ubud’s own Jazz Café is celebrating an extraordinary 17 successful years this month, with a special open invitation party on Saturday December 7. Naturally, they’ve chosen the best on the island for the occasion, including black American blues legend Jim Larkin and his Saucy Soul Band, plus Nancy Ponto & the Bali Angels. In this ¿ckle tourist industry environment, where it’s possible to spot a new place but see it go under before you get round to trying it, 17 years is a sizable achievement for slide guitarist Pak Agung and his Canadian wife Nina. They dreamed up the original little café on the same location near the top of Jl Sukme 18 years ago, just so Agung would have somewhere cool to play. Jazz Café has a packed month planned. Check out December 21 – the Roaring 20’s Electro Swing Jazz Fancy Dress Party is back! There are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve special events, amongst a great collection of food and music gigs. More info at: jazzcafebali.com.

Then gradually over the past year or so they’ve surprised our taste buds, ¿rst with delicious cookies and then a small menu of cooked items, whipped up in the space the size of a tea pot at the back of the shop. Indeed, each drop-in has seen another step in their evolution, but it must have been a bit longer between visits because yesterday I was greeted by a fully-Àedged café, with a delicious assortment of cakes and pastries in the display fridge. Yes, there are still several computers on desks tucked neatly at the back.

Pak Ketut has a friend who is his “secret weapon” when it comes to baking; it’s a winning café combination. Look for a tall red and black “internet sign”, opposite the market bus park. Tukiescafe@gmail.com.

GOOD FROM BAD A decade after the Bali bomb, Ubud is still bene¿ting from a postdisaster initiative to bring culture and life back to the island. There were many such initiatives of course, such as the now iconic balispirit.com website. But it is a joy to see that other collaborations continue.

With Ubud palace dignitaries and the Japanese consul to add suitable formality, the 9th Bali Deep exhibition opened recently at Museum Puri Lukisan, Ubud’s oldest art gallery.

The exhibition itself consists of exquisite traditional Balinese paintings, from respected artists such as 48 y.o. I Gusti Rai Diadnyana, a painter from Keliki Kwan village in Payangan, who has been painting since the early age of 15 and now is in demand to teach other young painters. Pak Gusti Rai’s works are complemented by selections from Japanese artists and photographers in the museum gallery itself, while opening night guests were also treated to a “projection mapping” show, with a series of vivid modern images projected from Puri Lukisan car park onto the formal Balinese carved entrance to the beautiful grounds of the gallery. The exhibition is open till mid-December at Museum Puri Lukisan, opposite Betel Nut on Jl Raya Ubud.

OMPURE BUMI While Bumi Sehat founder Robin Lim and her disaster relief team gear up for the Philippines, Ubud’s Ompure yoga shop has chosen December as fundraising month for the Nyuh Kunming based not-for-pro¿t health c e n t e r. B u m i S e h a t Foundation plans to build a new birthing clinic to assist disadvantaged mothers with a safe and natural birth.

For Ubud visitors, it’s a three-way win; Om Pure’s yoga wear is beautiful, hardwearing handmade clothing for yourself, it’s a simple way to shop Christmas presents, and there’s a good feeling when you know that 10% goes to a cause like this.

Meanwhile Ibu Robin, a Filipina herself from her mother’s side, has asked her thousands of fb friends and admirers to give her a special “birthday present” this month by donating to the Philippine disaster relief effort through http://www. bumisehatbali.org. Ompure is on Jl. Hanoman #46 Ubud, next to Kafe. Ph: 085-857 430880. Purchase online: www. ompure.com.

COMFORT FOOD Everyone thinks of something different when they hear the term “comfort food”, so a moist, succulent, rotisserie chicken with eight different dipping sauces and a dozen delicious side dishes, might not be yours. And then again, maybe it will be, soon! The owners of Luxe Café - a smart little spot on Jl Kajeng up near Threads of Life - have chosen their favourite comfort foods and then found a passionate young cordon bleu trained chef to transform them into a really yummy menu. I was there as soon as I heard the word “rotisserie” (I miss our favorite Sunday treat) and quite apart from the killer chicken and the best Caesar salad in a decade, I will be back soon for breakfast. Is it me, or do the words “Tempura egg stack” make your mouth water too. Luxe adds a dose of comfort and style to that interesting little shopping stretch. Oh and if you’ve got a great little group of friends but not a place yet for New Year’s Eve, check out Luxe. They are offering a private evening there, with your choice of menu and your personal chef. Byo grog; no corkage fee. Call 0821-4417-7785 for more info.

LA LOVELY LOLA I dropped into La Lola Spanish Tapas Bar, near the bottom of Jl Sandat (think Bali 3000, on Jl Raya) to check out the cool café that’s replaced the Chillout Lounge. It’s a little off the regular tourist track – though 150 meters walk from almost anywhere ſ - but with trip adviser ravings and mouth-watering tapas to lead the way, Jl Sandat is going to be “the new Ubud street” any minute. In the meantime, drop in to visit the Spanish family who run the place and try every one of their bite-sized munchies. Call +62 812-3816-5139.

EARLY FESTIVITIES Two good reasons for saying yes! Treat yourself to an early Christmas dinner and help local Bali children via our active Rotary Club, Bali Ubud Sunset, when they host you at their Christmas 2013 Fundraiser Buffet Dinner at Taksu Restaurant. All the proceeds from the traditional Christmas buffet spread on December 15 will support local community projects, improving children’s health and sanitation, water and hygiene training in elementary schools, and HIV AIDS testing and treatment at the new Bali Peduli clinic in Ubud.

Rustle up some spare cash to take along for the rafÀe - there are so many generous donors, you just have to buy a ticket to win a hotel stay, fabulous dinner or spa package somewhere on the island. Sunday, December 15, 6pm.

350,000rp. Call Taksu for reservations, 0361 971490.

Kooshyar Karimi — The courage to face the dark

By Shelley Kenigsberg Exposing a s e c r e t , revealing the details of a double life or documenting a brave escape from the hands of torturers is the stuff of drama and of thrillers. In Kooshyar Karimi’s case, it is his own deeply compelling story; hard and true and so engagingly told in I Confess: Revelations in Exile. He was in Ubud in October as a speaker as part of the 2013 Ubud Writers & Readers Festival.

Kooshyar was born into a small house in the slums of Tehran, to Homa, an orphaned Jewish teenager who converted to Islam to marry Khalil. She was desperate for security and hoped the Muslim bus driver would ‘rescue’ her. But she was not his only wife. And Kooshyar and his brother were not the only children. While they lived in grinding and relentless hardship, there was little contact with the other children, or their father. Kooshyar’s immediate family’s place in the hierarchy came with such rancor from his ‘other mothers’, that one secretly burnt the young boy with blazing cigarette ends.

By the time Kooshyar was six, he was working as a cobbler’s assistant to help support his mother and brother. By the time he was eleven, there was a revolution in Iran and his world – and the oldest lasting monarchy in the world – was toppled.

It was in the wake of this Iranian Islamic Revolution chaos and the bloodshed of the Iran-Iraq war that Kooshyar began to find his determination and drive and threw himself into learning, becoming one of his school’s prized pupils.

Perhaps it was the injunction of his fiercely ambitious mother that was his compass. It is, certainly, a tribute to her and her determination that he understood his Jewish heritage and the richness of his religion, despite feeling and understanding as he grew up, that this difference was something that would draw curiosity and, worse, active disdain and danger.

Homa had implanted the wisdom that learning would get him out of the slums; even, she urged, to help him become an astronaut. ‘Given that Iran’s space program was … well, non-existent, second choice (becoming a doctor) moved up to first,’ said the softly spoken Karimi as he made sense, for us in the audience of the UWRF, of his extraordinary life.

He threw himself into writing books and translating Gore Vidal, Kahlil Gibran, classic English philosophical tracts and Chinese and Roman mytholody into Farsi. But it was ‘impossible to be authentic; be yourself,’ he said, referring to the suppression of his Jewishness. ‘You have a double life.

You pretend. Keep your faith to yourself.’ But the secret was not as well held as he might have needed.

To get a place at university in Tehran at that time, the application had to be scrutinised by the Council of Guardians of the Revolutionary Court. Karimi, it seemed, failed to satisfy the ‘standard of piety’ as a fit Muslim that the Ministry of Intelligence required. His application for medical school was rejected.

So, here was one of the country’s top high school graduates without a chance. But fortune intervened, when his best friend’s father, a doctor himself, personally guaranteed Kooshyar’s suitability. And with it a precious place at university.

and young women — many of them rape victims — whose lives would have been destroyed by the shame of sex outside of marriage. The danger was known. ‘My wife begged me to stop but someone knocks on the door, suicidal, desperate.

You can’t say no; it’s heartbreaking’.

It was these dangerous activities that saw him kidnapped by the Islamic Intelligence Service in the winter of 1998. Over 62 days, he was tortured, burnt, and whipped. Then, he was presented with an unimaginable choice – to spy for Islamic Intelligence Service against his own people or to face a slow, excruciating death. His forced cooperation was a significant factor in the arrest of thirteen Iranian Jews in March 1999, a case that caused an international outcry.

Over the next thirteen months as he lived a tense double life, it dawned on Karimi that his usefulness to the intelligence service would expire. Karimi knew if he and his family were to stay alive, he would have to flee Iran.

His childhood ability to sense and escape from danger and, again, the good fortune of help from a friend, allowed Kooshyar and his family to find their way to Turkey. There, although still living in dread in a tiny basement below an apartment block in Istanbul, they were eventually granted a political refugee visa to Australia by the UNHCR.

With the launch of his memoir, Karimi lays bare these struggles as a Jew under ‘faith-based totalitarianism’, as a child in a world of deprivation and secrecy. When Karimi was asked during the Festival why he wrote this book and why now, his answer is surprising. I expect to hear that the spying and his distress at that to be central to his answer. But his own confessions, says are many layered. ‘It is my atonement, not just for the desperately awful fact of being forced to spy, but for the abortions…’

Despite having saved the lives of many young girls in desperate circumstances, Karimi still feels some guilt and shame about being part of that world. And, of course, being a spy on his own community and the astonishing pain of that and its consequences. There are still questions about the fate of three of the people who were named.

But, he adds, ‘the book is about showing the world … Iran in the three decades since the Islamic revolution; the violation of human rights, the discrimination against women.’

It’s important to, ‘expose the reality of how Iranians live today.

The government has no true support, but there is abiding fear; terror. And they all live a double life too. Everything that happens in the ‘west’ — the drinking and sex before marriage, other freedoms, happens there too. But under cover. In secret. That is their duplicity. I want to expose… the daily reality of rape in Iran. I want to expose that double life.’

C/R/G-04 Sept. 13

In his next book, Kooshyar gives some of these women a voice. He tells the stories of some of over 200 girls and women whose lives he has helped and changed, often immeasurably.

But if a new country, a new life has been his dream; there is still a question about the word ‘exile’ in his title. In Karimi’s case, although it’s not his original home, there’s acceptance and a different freedom. There’s the chance to practice his medicine full-time, in peace, in the sublime setting of Tea Gardens outside Sydney, Australia. It’s also the chance to write again.

‘Then,’ he says, and I can hear a measure of relief, even joy, ‘fiction. The book after that’s going to be a novel’. A chance to create a dreamland. An opportunity to bring more of his deep intelligence and his wide and opening heart to storytelling. Mix it with his adventurousness and resilience and it will be another tale well worth reading.

By the age of 26, his passion for reading and writing meant he was a published author, award-winning translator, doctor, husband and father. After over two years of military service, Kooshyar began to successfully practice medicine and began research for his book, A History of Iranian Jews. It was to be a significant factor in his coming to the attention of the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security (MOIS) in the winter of 1998.

Big Sur With the publication of his novel ‘On The Road’, Jack Kerouac was to receive enormous publicity and success.

After three years of demanding fame, he found he could no longer endure it, and, he retreated to an isolated cabin in California’s Big Sur region, to write. In between incessant bouts of drinking in San Francisco, what was to emerge was Kerouac’s introspective novel ‘Big Sur’. This novel, and this great movie, takes a look at ‘The Beat Generation’ a few years after their initial triumph. Director Michael Polish explores the psyches of this group of writers and poets who were to change the voice of American literature.

Polish’s movie is unusual in its style, for it takes the form of an extended ‘voice-over’ placed over ‘live action’. The film also includes some really remarkable and beautiful landscape photography.

Breathe In An American high school music teacher is anxiously preparing for an audition with a symphony orchestra, when, an English exchange student comes to stay with him and his family. As it turns out, the student is a gifted musician herself, and, the teacher doesn’t know whether to be jealous of her, or infatuated by her. Guy Pearce gives a very nicely modulated performance.

The old spies have to fight desperately to save their lives. I don’t know what kind of deal they did with the producers, but, it should add considerably to the retirement pensions of actors Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, and Helen Mirren.

In between bouts of heavy drinking Jack Kerouac writes A Perfect Man While they are living in Amsterdam, the marriage of an American couple starts to fall apart. However, they use a very ‘European’ technique to bring some spice back into their lives. Dutch director Kees Van Oostrum makes a very pleasant romantic movie, but, you have to question the use of American actors in the film. It is not as if their nationality has any great significance within the plot. Is it simply a means to boost ticket sales in the USA? If that is the case, it could hardly succeed. Accomplished though they are, it is not as if Jeanne Tripplehorn and Liev Schreiber are such great big crowd pullers.

The Last Days on Mars Liev Schreiber also stars in this Sci-Fi film. On the last day of their lengthy mission on Mars, a group of scientists are preparing for their return to Earth, when, one of them finds evidence of life. This innocuous bacterial organism turns out to be quite nasty. It takes over the bodies of the scientists, and, in good old-fashioned ‘slasher’ movie style, starts to kill them off one by one.

Paul Walker gives a strong performance as the father, but, the fault in Eric Heisserer’s movie is that he confines all of the action to inside the hospital, without conveying any sense of the disaster which is taking place outside.

Health without Zealotry

How to Get it in an Imperfect & Complex World Maybe Paleolithic man had the perfect diet. Somehow I doubt it. But if nothing else the food would be fresh and when times were good probably as good as it’s ever been in terms of nutritional value.

Fast forward to today and even if you are a health food zealot, you would be pretty hard pressed to obtain all the nutrients your health requires. We do the best we can without obsessing. Given so much of our food is debased we must reluctantly rely selectively on nutritional supplements. It therefore makes sense to know a little bit more than we do about nutritional supplements in general and how the industry that supplies us operates. The ¿rst thing to understand is it is big business, worth some $40 billion per annum. While regulated to a degree it’s poorly policed and attracts business people of all stripes, from saintly to the most egregious villains selling goods from great to ghastly.

Next thing to understand is that while you may count the number of brand names out there in the tens of thousands, in actual fact the people supplying the ingredients or who actually formulate and manufacture products can be counted in their hundreds. The majority of what you see on the shelves in your health store or supermarket is bought as prepackaged ready-made formulations with the seller’s corporate identity slapped on at source by a contractor. The add-on descriptive blurb is mere marketing hoopla.

In other words, if you or I wanted to carve out a chunk of that $40 billion p.a. for ourselves and still be legit, here’s how we might go about it. Design a label for a range of say a dozen of the more popular and pro¿table nutritional supplements with a number of complex formulations we can claim are good for the heart, brain, antiaging…. whatever. We order them off-the-shelf from a contractor like Douglas Labs in the US using the cheapest ingredients possible.

Douglas Labs will produce the goods for us legally, stick our labels on the bottles and ship them to us. We then get to work hyping these very cheap products by co-opting all the latest scienti¿c research and bending it to our purpose, while telling the punters these products are uniquely powerful cutting edge formulations that will keep them healthy, attractive and active until they’re 100. You can pretty much bet that that’s how most mass-marketed and MLM supplements come onto the market. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the ingredients of products per se, other than the fact they are a waste of money with little if any therapeutic bene¿t.

But that’s on a good day….

A Real Horror Show Not all contract manufacturers are as professional as Douglas Labs. Just go back a few years to 2003 and the Pan Pharma scandal in Australia when this company, the ¿fth largest contract manufacturer of drugs and supplements in the world, the biggest by far in Asia/Australasia, was closed down for practically every dirty trick in the book. Pan Pharma was caught lying about content and the substitution of cheaper, untested raw materials, and impure products, for falsifying test results and false labeling. Employees report they were made to sweep-up waste product from the Àoor and throw it back into the machines having walked through it to and from the toilets. The TGA, Australia’s regulatory body had known about this company for year’s but it was only when cross contamination of pharmaceuticals from uncleaned machines caused people to try jumping out of airplanes at 30,000 ft. the TGA took action. Supplements don’t really matter in the TGA’s book, you see. As a result over 4,500 brands of supplements alone had to be pulled from the shelves of over 40 countries worldwide.

Buy multi-ingredient complex formulations only from practitioner-only labels you have reason to trust and who have not been caught doing naughties (more on that later). I occasionally buy mass-marketed labels when I have no alternative, but only single ingredient products.

Be on guard for the classic marketing techniques, which are just this side of legal but render these products worthless.

Foremost of these is cheap and low dose ingredients that have no therapeutic value coming in packages of 30 pieces intended to con you into thinking you have a month’s supply at an effective dose (three days at best, more like).

Misappropriating the science is the oldest trick in the book: especially when it comes to expensive special purpose multiingredient formulations for cognition, the heart, anti-aging or anything else that ails you. The common bait & switch tactic is to put a minute amount of a some scienti¿cally ‘hot’ ingredients in the formula and make a big song and dance about it. A good example of this is one well-known MLM company, who markets a supposed cognition enhancer at considerable cost because it is called PS after phosphatidylserine (PS), an expensive substance known to improve brain function. Actually this product contains no PS at all but it does have lecithin, a substance that contains minute traces of PS, some 0.3% in fact. So why don’t they call it Lecithin Plus or something? I asked them about this and all they could manage was “trust us, it does have PS in it”…….

Once you understand this you will start to get an idea of how this game is played.

Nutritional supplements, if they are genuine and in a dose large enough to work are both cheaper than drugs and very often more effective. However they are not covered by insurance and, as we’ve seen a lot of them are over-priced, over-hyped and useless. What’s more the people selling them to you are often unquali¿ed with no medical or nutritional quali¿cation. Whatever the case, self-diagnosis or if the person selling you the goods is an overenthusiastic amateur or simply on a mission to sell you the shop, the bill soon mounts alarmingly. Not to get professional advise from an MD who understands the basics of clinical nutrition is a false economy. So is using drugs because you don’t have to pay 90% of the cost.

Enter the Assayer There is no short cut to buying smart but other than the above, there is one imperfect body called the Consumer Lab, which for the past 15 years has independently assayed nutritional supplements to ¿nd out such basics as: is the product what it says it is and does it contain as much of it as claimed; is it correctly formulated so it does any good; does it contain impurities? Just so you know, here are the companies with a 100% clean record with no product recalls, most of them note, practitioner-only labels: Cardiovascular Research, Carlson, Complementary Prescriptions, CostCo, Country Life, Douglas Labs, Enzymatic Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Life Extension, Solaray, Source Naturals, Twin Lab, Vital Nutrients.

Here are the companies whose products have been recalled or failed to meet the basic criteria for one reason or another.

Some of them, household names that have transgressed over 40 times: 21st Century, Applied Nutrition, Aveeda, Centrum, Doctor’s Best, Garden of Life, GNC, Health Shoppe, Health Valley, Natrol, Natural Health, Nature’s Best, Nature’s Bounty, Nature’s Way, Nordic Naturals, NOW, Puritan’s Pride, Rexall, Solgar, Sundown, Trader Joe, Vitality Research, Whole Foods.

The bottom line is simply this: real food and healthy lifestyle are the keys to your health, supported by selective and inNow if that is what goes on with your drugs and supple- formed supplementation. Drugs and other allopathic intervenments in a well-regulated market like Australia, just what tion are an emergency measure. do you think happens in places like China and India, which is where businessmen go to get the cheapest ingredients?

Think mould, rat droppings, toxic chemicals and metals and you will have made a start. So let’s stop there. Go down that route and we won’t eat anything at all given Comments or queries what can and does go on with our food in practically any ParacelsusAsia@yahoo.com jurisdiction on the planet. Let’s rather learn to buy smart and bend the odds our way as much as we can.

MEDITATION IN UBUD - Taksu is Ubud’s hidden spa. Located at the base of Jln. Goutomo [with adequate parking] the therapy rooms are scattered along a small quiet tree-lined river that runs through the property. It must be one of the most relaxing spa settings in Bali. Peaceful as it should be as meditation, healing and holistics are among the offerings here. Pictured are some of the massage rooms in the river valley. The healing rooms are located meters from Taksu’s parking area, each individual healing room has comfortable tables, air conditioning and soft lighting. You relax in a peaceful healing space that allows you to relax your body and mind, sinking deeply into a magical healing journey. Taksu offers many unique treatments for Bali, including an Ozone Steam Sauna, the effects of a steam sauna are widely known to have many health benefits including detoxification, creating a mild fever in the body to destroy infections and simulate circulation. By adding ozone into this environment, the ozone is hence easily absorbed into the skin and lymphatic system through the open pores. Other Holistic Services at Taksu include Access Consciousness Bars®; Access Consciousness® Body Processes, Energetic Facelifts & Money Clearings; Tuina; Traditional Chinese Medicine; Holistic Yoga Therapy; Japanese Facelift Massage; Reiki, and Eternal Breath. Taksu also offers the perfect after treatment spa menu at its Taksu restaurant, upstairs in the main building with open windows overseeing the valley, soon to be joined by a small garden café in front, Unlike many that have the word ‘organic’ in their name the food at Taksu is really organic [even the turkeys for their famous Thanksgiving dinner have been raised organically in the USA].

MANDI LULUR - Often described as The Queen of Body Treatments, it originated in the palaces of Central Java during the 17th century. It was used by Javanese brides as a purifying ritual before marriage. The Lulur scrub with its golden yellow colour reflecting its main ingredient, turmeric, has unique cleansing properties. Turmeric is most commonly combined with sandalwood and rice powder. After this scrub the body is usually coated with a yoghurt splash to cleanse and nourish the skin.

SHIATSU - Japanese Shiatsu is also known as acupressure. It is a finger pressure massage, often confused with acupuncture. It usually performed with the recipient fully clothed. Both acupuncture and Shiatsu are founded on the Chinese meridian system. But with Shiatsu, no needles! Massage techniques like tapping, squeezing, rubbing and applied pressure are applied along the meridians to unblock energy blockages and re-introduce the optimal flow of ki.

C/He/G-27 Nov. 13

PEDICURE - is more than just the cutting of toe nails. In fact as with Manicure for finger nails that is just 2 minutes of the usual 50 minute treatment. A good pedicure is both relaxing [apart from a few reflex twinges from those with ticklish feet] and promotes good health, particularly for any who are approaching middle age and do not have such a supple body anymore. It begins with a hot soapy foot bath when the feet and toes are carefully washed and scrubbed including between the toes to help prevent the possible growth of tinea and any other fungus. The nails are cut and cleaned with a lotion applied to the nail quicks [or hyponychium to use the medical name] before they are pared and trimmed. This is usually followed by a short massage session for each calf and foot. A razor scraper is used across the hard skin of the sole to remove all dead skin.

Then the sole is rubbed continuously with a hand board coated with something similar to emery paper to complete the process. Finish with a flower foot bath to remove the cream from the massage, a final check for any loose or broken skin to be trimmed on the feet or between the toes and a final cream rub with ‘skin food’.

CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY - is a form of bodywork or alternate therapy focused primarily on the concept of “primary respiration” and regulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by using therapeutic touch to manipulate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium. To do this, the practitioner applies light touches to the patient’s skull, face, spine and pelvis. Craniosacral therapy was developed by John Upledger, D.O. in the 1970s, and is loosely based on osteopathy in the cranial field (OCF), which was developed in the 1930s by William Garner Sutherland. There is one certified practitioner of Cranio-sacral therapy in Ubud who attends one day each week to Amandari and Taksu spas, by appointment only.

BODY WRAPS - A body wrap is a specialised spa treatment, for both men and women, to help detoxify, tighten and tone the skin. Body wraps work in two stages, absorption. and squeezing.

In the absorption stage a substance is applied to your body within wraps. Once the pores in the skin are opened fluids are extracted or absorbed by both the substance and the wrap. The effect of the wrap is determined by the ingredients used. Sea clay, herbal, seaweed, mineral and aloe vera are amongst the most common. The more absorbent the product that is used the drier your skin will feel for a few days.

MASSAGE FOR MEN - is the new growth product being chased by all of the top spas. So far in Bali probably 90% of spa treatment participants are women. Not every man fancies sitting in a flower bath so spas are constantly packaging more ‘masculine sounding’ treatments for men.

Double rooms for a ‘his and hers’ package are always on the menu list [a flower bath is not so scary when joined in it with wife or girlfriend]. In Singapore’s Chinatown district many spas offer ‘erotic massages’ whatever they may be, but you assume that the therapist‘s fingers may well cross those normally rigid ‘no-go’ lines. One large Singaporean hotel and villa complex in Bali on Ubud’s outskirts offers similar treatments with very vague words. Another man market is what is loosely referred to as ‘gay friendly’. The power of the pink dollar is evident by the many new spas that have opened recently following Paul Cheng’s breakthrough M Spa which has now been in existence for 10 years. There were always small local backroom operations in the Denpasar and Jimbaran areas but these new ones are much more professional with the proper fit out. Banana Spa, M2 Spa [no connection with M Spa, just the usual local copying], Adam’s Apple and others have opened in recent years, and all do constant business.

Measles, Chicken Pox & Impetigo The Spotty Trilogy!

There seems to be a “spotty trilogy” on the go in Bali at present. I have had more than several cases of measles, chicken pox and impetigo in my office this month.

Just how do you tell the difference between these spotty problems? And how you deal with them?

MEASLES (Rubeola) Measles is highly contagious. An un-immunized child (or older person) is very likely to catch it if exposed to a person who has measles.

Measles can be a serious childhood infection. 1:1000 children that have measles will end up with serious affects from the disease. Indonesia has as many as 38,000 children die each year from measles. Hence the Indonesian government has launched a massive measles vaccination campaign.

• Measles is caused by the Rubeola viris (not to be confused with the Rubella virus).

• It is easily spread by droplets (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, or runny eyes).

• The first signs come about 10 to 12 days after being in contact with measles. These include a fever, cough and sore, red eyes (conjunctivitis).

• The measles rash appears two to four days after initial symptoms and lasts for up to eight days. The spots usually start behind the ears, spread around the head and neck, then spread to the legs and the rest of the body. The spots are initially small but quickly get bigger and often join together.

• Fever tends to improve after 2 to 3 days and the person usually quickly recovers unless there are other problems caused by the measles, such as ear infections, bronchitis and pneumonia.

What you can do • Keep child at home. Rest, extra drinks, and paracetamol can be used for high fever.

• Eyes will be sensitive to light, and usually the child will feel better in lower light.

Protecting children from measles • Measles vaccination in the form of MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) is recommended for children when they are 12 months old and when they are 4 years.

• Anyone who might have been in contact with measles and is not immune should see his or her doctor for immunization as soon as possible (within 72 hours).

• If you are uncertain whether you or your child has had 2 doses of vaccine (or had the illness) get another dose of measles vaccine.

CHICKEN POX (Varicella) Chickenpox is a common, very contagious viral infection that over 90 % of people get during childhood. If you have suffered from Chicken Pox as a child you may develop shingles later in life.

• Chickenpox and shingles are caused by a virus called “Varicella Zoster”.

• Most children who get chickenpox have a mild illness, but some can become quite ill. Usually adults who get chickenpox have a more severe illness.

• The infection is spread when the person sneezes or coughs, or when someone touches the fluid in the blisters.

• The illness may start with a fever and feeling unwell, like having a cold. In some children the first sign of the infection is the rash.

• The rash usually starts on the chest, and most spots appear on the chest and head (including in the hair), although some children and adults can have spots all over the body (except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet).

• The spots start as red, itchy lumps, which then become blisters. The top comes off of the blister and watery fluid escapes. Then a crust forms on the spot. This crust takes about 5 days to fall off.

• The spots often come in waves for several days so that there will be new lumps, blisters and crusting sores on the skin at the same time.

• Chickenpox usually takes from 13-17 days to develop after contact with someone who has it.

What you can do There is no specific treatment which affects how bad the chickenpox is or how long it lasts (unless the person has another severe health problem).

C/He/M-Oct 16. 13

• Give the child plenty of drinks and give paracetamol if needed for fever and pain. Aspirin should not be used because it has been linked to a very serious illness (Reyes Syndrome) when given during a chickenpox illness.

• If blisters are in the mouth don’t give food or drinks that have a lot of acid or salt. (Orange juice, salty or spicy foods.)

• Try a soothing mouth washes (if mouth sores are as problem).

• Soothing lotions, such as calamine lotion, or special oils (lavender or tea tree oil) that reduce itch can be used. These oils can be added to cool baths. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in the bath can also help soothe the itching.

• Anti-histamine medicines (diphenhydramine i.e.

Benadryl cough syrup) can help with the itch, and have the added benefit of sedation for any distressed child.

Protecting children from varicella • Varicella immunization can be given after 12 months.

(Children under the age of 12 years need one injection of the varicella vaccine. Adolescents and adults need two injections 1 to 2 months apart).

C/He/I-10 July 13

IMPETIGO (School sores) Impetigo, one of the most common skin infections among kids, usually produces blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands, and diaper area.

• Impetigo usually affects preschool and school-age children. A child may be more likely to develop impetigo if the skin has already been irritated by other skin problems, such as eczema, insect bites, and cuts or scrapes due to minor trauma.

• Good hygiene can help prevent impetigo.

• The spots appear as small blisters that burst & form thick yellow scabs.

• Incubation period is 4 – 10 days.

• Method of transmission is by direct contact with discharge from lesions or sores or by nasal bacteria crossing over to wound. Impetigo can be spread to others through close contact or by sharing items like towels and toys. Scratching can also spread it to other parts of the body.

What you can do • Keep the lesion covered and apply fucidin cream 4 x day until the wound is dry. If there are many lesions, particlulary on the head (skin around hair) oral antibiotics may be needed. Keep finger nails trimmed, short and clean.

Keeping children away from school or child care: Measles - Keep the child away from other children and anyone who has not been immunized for at least four days after the start of the rash. (This may not prevent others getting measles, since measles is also very infectious before the rash comes).

If un-immunized people are immunized within 72 hours of their contact with measles they can return to school, child-care or work.

Varicella - A child should be kept at home for 5 days after the first spots appear, or until all blisters are dry if this takes longer. Some scabs will still be there but as long as they are dry this does not mean the child needs to be kept out of school, or away from others.

Impetigo – Is contagious up until 24 hours after the commencement of antibiotic therapy (local or oral). Young children may need to be kept at home, however older children may attend school as long as the lesion is covered.

AFL NEWS

Sadly one of the founding players of the Bali Geckos AFL Club, multiple Club Best & Fairest and absolute “legend” Matty Scarff was involved in an accident in the early hours of Saturday 16 November morning reportedly being king hit outside the Townhouse nightclub in Seminyak which resulted in severe head trauma requiring emergency surgery and resulting coma. Mr Scarff runs the Bali Learn to Surf School, which is affiliated with the Hard Rock Hotel in Kuta and splits his time between Byron Bay and Bali. His cousin Tony Maguire says Mr Scarff, 41, was attacked as he left the nightclub late Friday night and has been in a critical condition since. A friend of Mr Scarff claimed he was trying to help a female friend when he was attacked by a group of unknown men who had been trying to take advantage of the woman.

Mr Scarff did not have travel insurance, so the Bali Geckos along with a huge cross-section of the Bali expat community, Mr Maguire and Matty’s sister Anna turned to fundraising to raise money to assist with the medical expenses and medivac to Australia. In just 24 hours $45,000 dollars were raised with more to committed, leading Matty’s team mate atheist author Courtenay Werleman to comment on this out pouring of generosity and help for someone in need “In years to come, when people ask me when it was that my faith in humanity was restored, I will say it was THIS!”

events to international levels, it would be nice of the government to support these events and make them even bigger considering the tourist dollars they bring in rather than wasting money on one off or duplicate events.

By the way, the Bali International Half Marathon was won by the Kenyan runner Collins Kipkorir Kimosop, with the top 3 places taken by Kenyan runners, similarly in the women’s division it was won by Kenyan Peninah Kigen.

WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL Bali Wheelchair Basketball League Wheelchair basketball is now rolling at Bali International School (BIS) every Wednesday night, part of Bali Sports Foundation’s (BSF) program on Integrated Sports whereby able and disabled athletes compete in on level playing field in a variety of sports, like wheelchair basketball and blind soccer, so abled bodied athletes can appreciate what it is like to live with disabilities and BIS’s IB students community program.

NC/He/I-27 Nov 13

Considered one of the major disabled sports, wheelchair basketball was developed from its origins of WWII American disabled veterans playing in rehab, it has spread though out the world played in at least 82 countries with almost 100,000 players (both able and disabled), governed by the the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation.

BALI INTERNATIONAL HALF MARATHON As this Sporting Life reported in the last edition, the Bali Government has decided to get involved in organizing sporting events, even calling Bali a Sports Tourism Hub starting with this month’s Bali Sports Week. The premier event within the Bali Sports Week, the Run under the Stars Bali International Half Marathon however got off to a shaky start.

The Half Marathon heavily promoted as being on the the new Benoa-Nusa Dua toll road, was switched however at the last minute to a run though Nusa Dua to Geger temple and back and not of a half marathon length. And the predicted 3000 runners did not quite materialize either,with the number being reportedly around 400 runners including runners for the shorter runs.Recriminations between the run organizers and the toll road operator started almost immediately, overshadowing the run results.

To seasoned Bali sports watchers these events seem to follow a familiar pattern whereby the taxpayer’s moneys are used for sports events (of limited if any sport value) with big build up in the local media, a few imported (all expenses paid) athletes, so one can call it “international”, free T-shirts and other sponsor’s trinkets to increase local participation, event duly won by the “International stars” and the event rapidly disappears into the annals of sports history.

Whereas long running sports events like the Bali 10’s rugby tournament, AFL Masters and the Bali Cricket 6’s held without any government support have been running for over 10 years, and in some cases almost 20 years. For the organizations, clubs and NGO’s that have built up these

In Bali,wheelchair basketball was introduced by Bali Sports Foundation at the 2013 ParaGames, with training and introduction clinics by Singaporian Paralympians.

Wheelchair basketball retains the most of the major rules and scoring of basketball. The basket and ring is the same height,as is the size of the basketball court. The exceptions are the rules which have been modified with consideration to the wheelchairs to do with dribbling and travel. The special sports wheelchairs themselves have features to avoid falling backwards, withstand contact and increased stability.

C/He/I-29 May 13

Since the ParaGames,BSF has held weekly pick up games on Saturday mornings at BSF Sportshall, and now the tempo has picked up with the commencement of the Bali Wheelchair Basketball league with the cooperation of BIS coordinated by teachers Ted Wilson and Hamish Sutherland.

Teams competing include a team from PUSPADI Bali, Mitrais,BIS and Stiff Chilli. Athletes are a mix of disabled and able players. (see www.balibasketball.com) The league is free and open to anyone able or disabled, male or female.

Anyone interested to play or put in a team (BSF provides the wheelchairs for use in the games), please contact info@ balisports.com

How important especially in this age of technology that we encourage and inspire the children and youth of today to read. How this really starts is being read to.

Say What?

C/He/G-13 Nov. 13

Question: My boyfriend is incredibly intelligent and financially well-off. He graduated with honors from a prestigious university in Europe. In contrast, I was raised in Southeast Asia and went to a public university here.

Sometimes, because he has money and is better educated than I, he acts condescending. Only three years my senior, he treats me like some kind of a youngster to whom he has to teach things. He calls me “kiddo” and is always correcting my grammar. Does it matter how much money you have, or where you went to school? Should I put up with my boyfriend’s patronizing ways?

Dr. ZZ: There are two ways to look at this situation: either your boyfriend is suffering from his own insecurities and taking them out on you, or else you are misinterpreting his actions and taking his corrections and pet name-calling the wrong way. Because you’re the one asking the question, and because people who act like grammar police are annoying, we’ll imagine it’s the first scenario: your boyfriend is a bit of a jerk, and you need to start standing up for yourself.

One of the best ways to do this in a relationship is to develop name-calling into a shared inside joke. You have to be confident enough to pull this off, but the next time he corrects your grammar or says something derogatory, you may want to chuckle and shoot back with a snappy one-liner like, “Thank you, Professor! We’re all challenged by your unique point of view.” When you start taking back your power, he’ll stop talking down at you. Don’t let him humiliate you; earn his respect. If this doesn’t work, and you continue to feel as if he is treating you in a patronizing way, then you have no choice but to end the relationship.

You deserve to be with someone who values you and treats you like an equal.

Question: I just started dating a girl three weeks ago, and things are going really well. The other day, I got an email about a discounted weekend getaway at a posh five-star resort, and I bought it. I’d like to take my girlfriend with me, but I don’t know if it’s wise “relationship timing.” Is going on a vacation with a girl as big a milestone as moving in together or giving her a key to your place? I don’t want to scare her off or make her think I’m getting too serious about her too quick. Will it look weird if I take my girlfriend of three weeks on a long vacation? Or should I ask one of my buddies to go with me because I don’t want to freak out my girlfriend?

Dr. ZZ: I would not necessarily categorize a weekend getaway as a long vacation. Chances are, it’s a 2-nights/ 3-days package, which is technically only 24 hours longer than an overnight date. If you haven’t been spending

overnight with each other, then you definitely want to start there before running off for a weekend getaway. But, if you have been spending nights with each other, then a weekend together would seem like a natural next step. If it feels right, and you’re psyched about it, it ought to be fun.

A beautiful hotel, a relaxed weekend -- what’s not to love?

Just stop short of filling the room with rose petals and professing your undying love for her. After only three weeks, that would definitely not be cool. Keep it casual, and the two of you ought to have a memorable experience.

Question: I just got out of a tumultuous 3-year relationship with a woman who is extremely complicated. The entire time we dated, she claimed she was “steadfastly single,” and that she just didn’t want to be in a serious relationship.

She led me on and acted like my girlfriend while we would hang out five or six days a week. About two months ago, I couldn’t take it anymore and completely cut her loose.

I started dating someone else, and now my ex is engaged to a guy she’s been dating for only six weeks. What the heck is going on? None of this makes sense.

Dr. ZZ: People don’t change overnight. No one goes from three years of not wanting a relationship, to all of a sudden getting serious with someone after dating them for slightly more than a month. After three years of being with this woman, chances are you know her well enough to realize that an engagement after a month is definitely out of character. Most likely she was hurt when you started dating someone else, and she fast-forwarded her relationship with this other fellow to catch up to you; so now she’s engaged.

C/He/G-12 June 13

On some level she is doing this to show you loudly and clearly that she has moved on. The problem is, as you so aptly stated, it’s a total farce. What you see is what you get.

She hasn’t moved on; she’s just trying to shove a new relationship in your face to upset you. Her new relationship isn’t going to last. The guy she’s now leading on is next in line to get hurt. Dramas like this tend to surround “complex” people. It doesn’t take a psychologist to figure out that this woman has some definite intimacy issues.

You were lucky to have escaped the situation, now stay clear of it. When she comes crawling back saying she made a mistake and has ended the engagement, don’t listen. When she says she wants you back, run in the opposite direction. You have moved on with your life; keep it that way. Let her continue to make her own mistakes.

Tomato Troubles

‘Dear Dr Kris, I am growing a reasonable sized crop of tomatoes, they were growing well but now I seem to have a leaf rot problem - I’d originally guessed that this was mould, and read on the web that a spray of highly diluted milkpowder would keep mould at bay. This was initially successful, however over the past 2 or 3 weeks, all of my tomato plants have had so much leaf-rot (for want of a better word), that the lower half of the plants almost have no leaves left. See attached photos. The top halves of the plants appear to be blemish/rot-free. Do you at all have any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

If you’d be so kind as to reply, I’d be most appreciative.

Regards from Steven D McQueen’ Based on your description and by looking at the pictures that you have sent to me, it would appear that your tomato crop has contracted a plant disease known as verticillium wilt, which is caused by a fungus that lives in the soil. The fungus starts by attacking the plants at the roots and then gradually works its way up the plant. The first visible signs of infection are just as you describe. That is, you will notice that the foliage closer to the soil becomes wilted, yellows with brown spots and then dies eventually leaving all of the foliage brown and dry. It starts at the bottom and works its way up, so that the bootom half of the plant is ruined. Tomatoes on affected parts will fall to the ground, and the taller parts of the plant may continue to grow, though foliage will be stunted as will the fruits. Usually only the top leaves will stay green and the fruit will develop yellow shoulders, and may also sunburn because of the loss of covering leaves. It can attack at any stage in a tomato plant’s growth.

Plants in poorly drained soil are more susceptible to infection than those in well-drained soil. Wet soil allows the fungus to multiply rapidly and move up through the xylem (the plant’s water-conducting tissue).Infection occurs when the fungus enters the root hair after which it spreads rapidly up the xylem, with the result that it restricts the normal upwards movement of water and nutrients. The fungus produces a toxin that contributes to the wilting and spotting of the leaves. A definite diagnosis involves making a vertical cut of the main stem just above the soil line. To confirm infection you will observe a brown color in the conducting tissues under the bark. This discoloration can be traced upwards as well as downwards into the roots. In contrast to fusarium wilt, verticillium wilt discoloration rarely extends more than 25 centimetres above the soil line, even though its toxins may progress further.

Verticillium wilt affects 200+ plant species, but in particular tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and strawberries. Other susceptible vegetables include chilli, cucumber, dandelion, cucumbers and watermelon. Corn, cereals and grasses are resistant. Its wide host range allows it to remain in the soil for very long periods, possibly several years. It stays alive for long periods of time by living on the dying underground parts of infected plants and can attack and multiply in a number of common weeds, which is just another reason for you to keep the garden bed weeded.

There are steps that you can take to try and control the fungus, but the easiest strategy for now would be to start your tomatoes over in new pots and use new uncontaminated soil, that obviously doesn’t come from the affected garden beds. Remove all of the plants that are affected by the disease and either burn them and throw them in the rubbish, but definitely don’t dispose of them in your compost.

Once you notice signs of wilt on your plants, there’s really nothing you can do to prevent further damage during the current growing season. There are preventative measures that you can take though to ensure crop health into the future.

First, don’t plant tomatoes (or any other plants of the Solanaecae family) in the same spot for at least three years, but if you can wait five years it is even better. This will allow the fungus in the soil to reduce enough (without tomato roots or other Solanaecae family members to feed on) to make it safe to grow there again in the future.

Verticillium wilt thrives in moist conditions, and once the fungus is present in the soil it could take years to eradicate it. Some gardeners try to kill the fungus through a process called solarisation, which involves removing the affected plants, and covering the affected plot with thick black plastic sheeting for 2-3 months or even longer, though this is not guaranteed to kill the fungus which is very vigorous. Others have had success in controlling the condition by constantly adding compost to the soil. It’s thought that the organisms in the compost can help to inhibit the growth of the fungus.

To date, there is no chemical treatment available. To slow the disease, use fertilizers lower in nitrogen and higher in potassium.

Another strategy is to use long crop rotations (3+ years) with nonrelated crops, well-drained soils, and soil moisture kept to the allowable minimum for good growth. Avoid using any solanaceous crops (potato, tomato, chilli, cucumber or pepper and eggplant) in the rotation, and also avoid the use of strawberries which are highly susceptible. Rotate with cereals and grasses wherever possible.

There are also varieties of tomato that are resistant to verticillium wilt, the seed packet would normally be marked with a V on it as an indicator. Better still look for tomatoes that have VFN on the packaet as these tomatoes are resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt (both of these will take out your whole crop) and nematodes. Off the top of my head varieties that are resistant to verticillium include Big beef, Beefmaster, Sunmaster, Better Boy, Celebrity, Early Girl, Husky Gold or Roma. The popular Grosse Lisse has no resistance at all.

For cherry tomatoes try Husky Red Cherry or Sweet Million.

A full resource list of tomato types and their resistance to certain types of diseases can be found online at http:// vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/Tables/TomatoTable. html

Important points to remember: - Keep garden beds weed free as there are many weed hosts of verticillium.

- Remove and destroy infested plant material after harvest.

Maintain appropriate fertilization and irrigation, avoid over watering.

- Plant disease resistant tomato varieties, labeled V (for Verticillium).

- Resistant varieties of eggplant, potato, and cucumber are generally not available.

Where are the Yachts?

Being the only dedicated sailing journalist in the whole of Indonesia is hard task. The biggest problem is finding something to write about. If you don’t believe me go to any beachside café here in Bali and count the yachts you see out on the water. If you are up early you might see a few catamarans leaving Benoa Harbour taking a group of happy tourists to Nusa Lembongan but on the Kuta side it is a very rare event to see set sails billowing in the wind.

It is not that there is no calling for it because you could make a pretty penny taking tourists for a one hour or two sail up and down the Kuta shoreline. This is an astounding realization when it hits you and causes a person to ponder the question of why? Go to any other tourist island paradise in the world and the place is full yachts. On islands in Malaysia, Thailand, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Whitsundays plenty of yachts can be seen splashing about.

Jakarta Wants more Yachts

an art form. Technical data such as accurate wind and ocean current data, fuel and water services, safe and welcoming anchorages, etc would help. There is no doubt that increasing the number of visiting yachts is becoming a priority of the Indonesian Government and it makes sense to pick out a couple of the best routes through Indonesia and promote them.

This is a good thing and maybe if the designated routes take off we will see a bit more marine servicing infrastructure develop along the way.

This plan can be an effective strategy to get money into remote coastal areas that can boost economic development without having to spend billions on infrastructure development.

C/Ho/G-30 Oct. 13

There are big bucks involved. According to the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy there are around 50,000 yachts cruising the Asia-Pacific region each year. If Indonesia can get 20% of those yachts to come and spend more time in Indonesia the potential economic benefits are significant for people who need a bit of a leg up. That is 10,000 extra yachts coming this way each year. If each of these 10,000 yachts carries a crew of 5 people and sails through Indonesian waters for a period of three months, spending 40 days on shore visits, they could inject US$200 million per year into remote regions according to some estimates.

Where are the Marinas?

At present there are about 500 yachts per year that cruise through Indonesia and the government in Jakarta aims to attract more yachts currently cruising around the world. It is a big job and it is not easy. Indonesia is not one country but an amalgam of many different peoples and languages thrown together at Independence in the late 1940’s. There is an expression often used that Indonesian law, “stops at the village gate”. So any planning on a national level is complex and requires a great deal of innovation and expertise to get everyone on board.

A new idea has sprung up that will see Indonesian waters become even more attractive to cruise for overseas yachties. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is planning to design designated sea routes through the Archipelago. At the recent Indonesia Yachting Opportunities Seminar Director General for Tourism Destination Development, Firmansyah Rahim said that in the past most yachties that come to Indonesia are part of sailing events such as Sail Indonesia and the like. The organisers of these events, for pure logistical reasons, usually put a cap on how many yachts they take on. For example, Sail Indonesia tries to keep the numbers to around 120 yachts. They don’t seem to have any trouble attracting this number of yachties as many Skippers come back year after year. There is also the current practice of many Skippers to sail through Indonesia on their way to other sailing hot spots in Asia rather than make Indonesia a destination in its own right.

The development of designated sea routes with the backing of the government can work especially if critical information about the sailing routes is made available to Skippers.

Getting information on sailing in Indonesia is

You can count the existing marinas in Indonesia on one hand whereas countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand you can take your pick.

If you leave Darwin sailing west the first marina of any kind that you can moor at is Medana Bay Marina in NW Lombok. That is a long way between a decent shower and a bit of offshore comfort. Also Skippers need to be assured that there are places where yachts can be serviced and repaired. Murphy’s Law applies to sailing as well, that is, if something can go wrong it will go wrong. Even so, some Skippers lambast the building of more marinas in Indonesia. They say that part of the magic is the beauty of the remoteness and the surprise of being greeted so warmly by the locals wherever they drop anchor. They are quite happy to haul water, fuel and other supplies across the beach, put into the dinghy to then putt out to their floating home and stow onboard. They say it is all part of the experience of sailing in Indonesia.

C/Ho/I-27 Nov 13

So at the moment the yachties that seem to stay the longest in Indonesian waters are those that join in on events such as Sail Indonesia.

Next year’s event has already attracted some 40 Skippers who want to join in the event. It will leave Darwin as usual in July and spend three months on a Cooks Tour of Indonesia.

But even Sail Indonesia gets its crtics. Skipper of sv Mr John IV said, “There are several ‘not so good’ things about doing this rally and one of them is that you have to move along…The fact of the matter is that there are a lot of miles between Kupang and Singapore and you really do not have a lot of time to stop and smell the roses.The other rally drawback is that it tends to bunch a whole load of boats together and whilst this may work well with the festivities that are put on by the rally organisation, it is a bit of a pain when you finally get to anchor in a picture perfect, quiet and peaceful anchorage….

It kind’a takes the icing off the cake!”

Happy Sailing!

Swimming pool always green?

“Why Do Chinamen Have Bruises On Their Foreheads?”

With world demand for energy increasing at a phenomenal rate and concerns about carbon dioxide emissions becoming ever more urgent to say nothing of profit hungry corporations driving excessive price increases, energy consumption is becoming an issue that touches us all.

With vision down to about 3 inches (sorry I mean about 7.62 centimetres) on a good day China’s city dwellers are starting to get just a wee bit fed up with bumping into each other. If the bumping wasn’t bad enough it’s the bowing to apologise that makes the head hurt. These days they live in a gloomy netherworld like bottom feeders in a paddy field and are starting to regret 30 years of building coal fired power stations the like of which were banned nearly 50 years ago in more developed countries.

In America and Britain controversial shale oil is all the rage.

In spite of vested interests trying to persuade people to the contrary it is known to be a pretty mucky sort of process and leaves the ground totally fracked.

Much of Europe is becoming dependent on Putin’s abundant supply of gas, prices are increasing across the board and, with winter coming on, Britain’s gas suppliers have been community minded enough to increase prices by 8 or 9 percent.

In Japan the ongoing disaster at Fukoshima is spawning the inevitable realisation that their nuclear industry is run by people who appear to be a tad lacking in the competence department and nuclear reactor building contractors behave as responsibly as the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. As a result their main source of power is about as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool.

Windmills offer one of the more sensible solutions but people don’t like windfarms because they spoil the view.

Solar panels are expensive and are alright for lighting but are not yet able to generate the serious amounts of power we need for electric motor and heating applications.

Indonesia is better placed than any other country for an obvious source of free geothermal energy. For reasons that remain a mystery it does not appear to be a preferred option in spite of the fact that it could provide Indonesia with serious long term economic benefit. In recent years, however, the government has started to wake up and several projects have already started.

Generally speaking though there are not many options opening up on the energy front are there? This is an issue that can only get worse as populations increase and resources dwindle. There is, of course, something we can all do a lot better - reduce the amount of power we use. If we are really honest with ourselves we could say that at least half of the power we use is wasted.

Let us revisit the electricity we use at home and see what we can do to reduce our energy consumption and get those electricity bills down.

The things that use most power are the items that burn electricity to produce heat such as washing machines, toasters, hair dryers, electric water heaters, electric kettles and tumble dryers. These are also the things that are most inefficient with considerable heat wasted once their purpose has been achieved and are the items that offer the most potential for saving power.

Washing machines can use a lot of power particularly if you are throwing off dirty clothes 3 times a day and that diligent pembantu is constantly throwing them into the washer.

The old twin tub washing machines are not too bad. Still in widespread use and of fairly simple design, they have an electric motor to slosh the water around and another to turn the spinner. These typically use around 600 watts of power.

Far more power hungry are automatic washing machines.

These have an electric motor to turn the drum and a heating element to heat the water. The motor typically uses 600 or 800 watts while the heating element will probably use a whopping 2,200 watts (only when the heater is on of course) an estimated total of around 1 to 1.5 kwh of power per wash.

Now that is a lot of power especially if used many times during the day. Automatic washing machines may also have long cycles, sometimes as long as 2 hours.

To check your washing machine power consumption look around the sides or the back of the machine. Somewhere you should find a label that will tell you the specifications of the machine. If it has a heating element it is usually marked with 2 wattage ratings: one for the motor, pump and electronics and another for the heating element.

So how do you save power? Firstly a good quality front loading washing machine will probably use a lot less power than a top loader (less water). Secondly don’t use the heating element. Most automatic washers will have both hot and cold water inlet pipes. The heating element is only used if the water is not hot enough. If the hot water inlet is connected to a hot water supply you will probably find that the element will not operate. Now you can use gas which will be a cheaper option or a solar or air conditioner water heater to provide free hot water.

Other than this you can use only cold water cycles on your washing machine. Most people in this country do not have hot water, they wash their clothes in cold and they use washing powder designed for use in cold water. You can always use a hot wash every now and again.

To save even more power a couple of stones and a bar of soap next to the subak was fine for previous generations.

If You Have a Problem with.....

If ever there was a device designed to waste energy it must be the tumble dryer. Electricity is very inefficient for heating at the best of times. In a tumble dryer we have a heating element that may be anything from 2,000 to 5,500 watts (yes I did say 5,500 watts) that heats oodles of air. An oodle is of course a Roman measurement unit for hot air and is derived from the amount of hot air generated when an Italian Prime Minister is taken to court many times and survives unscathed, it means “rather a lot”.

These oodles are then blown, only once, through a rotating drum of clothes and then expelled, still hot, into the atmosphere. We humans can be pretty stupid can’t we?

Added to this that ever so diligent pembantu is highly likely to throw a few clothes into this energy hungry appliance, shut the door and turn the timer knob around to full. A couple of hours later she happens to be passing the machine again and, noticing it has finally stopped, gives that knob a full twist yet again just for luck. Those two pairs of knickers have been tumbling around in that expensive hot air all day.

It is a fact of life that you have to accept that you will never manage to reprogram your pembantu. The orderly passage of time measured on a watch and so diligently observed in the West is not an issue here, the stress of punctuality is simply not accepted by people who have an enviable ability to live in the moment.

The best solution is to get rid of that rumbling money eating machine and get yourself a washing line instead or perhaps one of those aluminium clothes racks that somehow always loses a catch and collapses when you try and move it.

Next time you go and put the kettle on take a look underneath.

You will usually find a label on the bottom that tells you just how power hungry that little monster really is. There are many locally made kettles around that use a reasonable 600 watts but the more fancy imported models will demand as many as 2,200 precious watts - enough to power the London Underground for about 3 months.

The best option is to put a kettle on the gas stove. Don’t fill it full for only one cup of coffee and put a whistle on it so it isn’t left boiling for the next 4 hours.

Talking of coffee have a look at that wonderful espresso machine, they can use huge amounts of power. It is a little known fact that you can get gas powered espresso machines that reduce the electricity consumption from “totally ridiculous” to “tolerably high”.

Hair dryers can also use a lot of power. 1,800 watts is a common size but if you search you can find a small 600 watt model - very useful if you run a small hotel or guest house and you want to keep the bills down. Do you really need a hair dryer? Couldn’t you just shave your head?

A standard water heater takes about 1,200 to 1,500 watts and may take anything from 1 to 4 hours to heat a tank of water depending on size. Much heat may be lost with the tank giving off heat 24 hours a day. If the pipe from the heater to your hot taps is long or of large diameter then heat will also be lost getting the hot water from the tank to your shower head. These days there is no good reason to pay for heating water. With solar water heaters and air conditioner water heaters readily available at reasonable cost you can throw that electric heater on the scrap heap.

Amed sea salt or other sea salt - 1/4 cup drained yogurt, put into a very fine sieve or cheesecloth and let drain several hours or use Greek yogurt Cookie Dough: - 2 1/8 cups white flour (I use Kunci Biru brand) - 1/2 tsp. baking soda - 1/2 tsp. Amed sea salt or other sea salt - 12 Tbl. unsalted butter, melted and set aside - 1 cup palm sugar or brown sugar, packed - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg - 1 egg yolk - 2 tsp. vanilla extract - 1 1/4 cups semi sweet chocolate chunks - chop up a block of semi sweet baking chocolate - 6 Tbl. caramel sauce from above - a sprinkling of Amed sea salt or other large grained salt

Turn off the heat and with care add the cream little by little.

If you add too much it will bubble and rise up in the pot so do this with care and attention. When the cream has been incorporated add the Amed sea salt and stir well. Now stir in the thickened yogurt and set the pot aside while you make the cookie dough.

WOODEN BLINDS

25mm, 35mm & 50mm

SHUTTER WINDOW

Directions for the Cookie Dough: Put a rack in the lower half of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish with aluminum foil and butter the foil well.

In a medium sized bowl mix the flour, baking soda, and ½ tsp. salt. In another bowl mix the melted butter, palm sugar and granulated sugar. Beat until well incorporated. Add the egg and the egg yolk and beat again. Now add the dry ingredients from the first bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the flour mixture, being careful not to over mix. The dough will be very thick. Carefully stir in the chocolate chunks.

Spread half the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the caramel sauce over this leaving an edge free of sauce all the way around. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the sauce and spread out pushing down with your fingers until the sauce is closed in by the dough.

Sprinkle Amed sea salt over the top and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on a rack before cutting into bars.

Enjoy!

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Bars

Directions for the Sauce:

Denpasar

This recipe was adapted for Bali from ‘The Brown Eyed Baker ’. Popular salted caramel is paired with dark chocolate chunks in these sinfully moorish bars. There will be caramel sauce left over for anther batch or to secretly spoon from the container. I had just returned from a Stateside vacation, to a glass jar full of these beauties staring at me from the kitchen counter. My cook had cut them like biscotti, disguising them until one bite revealed their true identity. They quickly disappeared.

Continuing my Google hints and tricks from last issue: 10 Simple Google Tricks for Searches Plus 1 I’m always amazed that more people don’t know the little tricks you can use to get more out of a simple Google searches.

Plus, I am always happy when I discover a new trick or hint. I’ve collected a few that I use often and here ten of my favorites, plus a trick for your Gmail!

1. Use the “site:” operator to limit searches to a particular site. I use this one all the time, and it’s particularly handy because many site’s built-in search tools don’t return the results you’re looking for (and some sites don’t even have a search feature). If I’m looking for San Francisco Chronicle posts about ‘restaurants’, for example, I could try this search: restaurants site:sfgate.com.

2. Use Google as a spelling checker. I am a terrible speller. I used to be pretty good and then software like Word added spell checking. After that, my spelling skills went downhill fast. So try a Google search for ‘misstake’. If it’s incorrect, Google will suggest the correct spelling instead. Additionally, if you want to get a definition of a word, you can use the “define:” operator to return definitions from various dictionaries (for example, define: mistake).

3. Use Google as a calculator. Google has a built-in calculator — try entering a calculation like 110 * (654/8 + 3). Yes, your computer also has a calculator, but if you spend most of your day inside a browser, typing your calculation into the browser’s search box is quicker than firing up your calculator app.

4. Find out what time it is anywhere in the world. This one’s really handy if you want to make sure that you’re not phoning someone in the middle of the night. Just search for “time” and then the name of the city. For example, try: time San Francisco 5. Get quick currency conversions. Google can also do currency conversion, for example: 100 pounds in dollars. It only has the more mainstream currencies, though — if you’re trying to see how many Peruvian nuevos soles your dollars might buy, you’ll be out of luck.

6. Use the OR operator. This can be useful if you’re looking at researching a topic but you’re not sure which keywords will return the information you need. It can be particularly handy in conjunction with the “site:” operator. For example, you could try this search: GTD or “getting things done” site:salon.com 7. Exclude specific terms with the – operator. You can narrow your searches using this operator. For example, if you’re looking for information about American Idol but don’t want anything about Simon Cowell, you could try: “american idol” -cowell 8. Search for specific document types. Google can search the web for specific types of files using the “filetype:” operator. If you’re looking for PowerPoint files about Bali, for example, you could try: Bali filetype:ppt 9. Search within numerical ranges using the .. operator. Say, for example, you want to look for information about Olympic events that took place in the 1950’s, you could use this search: Olympics 1950..1960 10. Area code lookup. Need to know where a phone number is located? Google will let you know where it is, and show you a map of the area, too. For example: 415 11. Forward All One of the good things about the conversation format in Gmail is that you could easily forward an entire conversation thread to someone who’s just joined the discussion. It forwards the entire conversation which contains emails sent and received, neatly organized in a single email. At the top of the Gmail screen, you’ll see “New window”; “Print all”; “Expand all”; and then “Forward all”. Just click “Forward all” and the entire thread will open so you can put in the email addresses and will then be forwarded!

Is your computer compatible with the new Windows8?

There is some controversy concerning going to the new Windows 8. Of course if you buy a new computer it will come with the new operating system, so don’t worry. For the rest of us we must decide if and when we upgrade to Win8.

Local News Agriculture Ministry Argues Case for GMO Foods Indonesia must adopt genetically modified crops if the world’s fourth-most-populous nation wants to achieve self-sufficiency in food staples like corn, a senior agriculture official said.

Corn imports into Southeast Asia’s largest economy are rising rapidly as improved wealth levels drive poultry demand, and are forecast to nearly double this year to 2.8 million tons.

Indonesia set a goal after food prices surged five years ago to be able to feed itself in soy, beef, corn, rice and white sugar by 2014, but the policy is being softened amid signs the targets are a long way off.

“In Indonesia, we are still not allowed to implement [GMO],” Deputy Agriculture Minister Rusman Heriawan told Reuters late on Wednesday (13/11). “Using the GMO will increase our production more. That’s the only one solution we have.”

At present, Indonesia allows the import of many GMO foods, like soybeans and corn, but politicians have shied away from backing the introduction of GM seeds for staple foods.

Opposition to the agriculture ministry’s GMO push is coming from the country’s Bio Security Commission for Genetically Engineered Products, said Heriawan.

Indonesian government departments and agencies often fail to work together because of a lack of communication or differing agendas, which can slow the progress of new initiatives and regulations.

However, Heriawan said he was hopeful that GMO

technology would be used in Indonesia within a year, despite consumer concerns.

“We have tried different ways to increase our production and finally we came up with this idea… that the remaining strategy for agriculture development is by using GMO,” he said.

Both Syngenta AG, the world’s largest maker of crop chemicals, and Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company, have been promoting GMO in Indonesia this year.

GM technology using genes to modify crops in order to yield more output has previously faced resistance in the country in case of health or biodiversity risks.

In 2001, Indonesia planned to cultivate 20,000 hectares of GM cotton in South Sulawesi sponsored by Monsanto, but the program was stopped after strong protests from non-governmental organizations.

Heriawan said the Indonesian government has also taken advantage of soft demand for rubber to spearhead a drive to re-plant rubber plantations this year, with an initial outlay of 100 billion rupiah ($8.6 million).

“We started the re-planting program this year, mostly in Sumatra and in parts of Kalimantan,” he said, adding that the scheme was expected to last four years.

Rubber output in Indonesia, the world’s second-largest producer, is seen at 3.2 million tons this year, up from 3 million tons a year earlier, according to industry and government forecasts. (November 14th 2013)

Indonesian Envoy to Australia Recalled over Spying Allegations Indonesia Monday (18/11) recalled its ambassador to Australia and said it was reviewing its cooperation with the government in Canberra following reports that Australian intelligence spied on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife Ani and his inner circle.

Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said the spying was unacceptable, and accused the Australian government of violating individual privacy and human rights.

“This is an unfriendly, unbecoming act between strategic partners,” Natalegawa told reporters in Jakarta. “In short, it has not been a good day in the Indonesia (and) Australia relationship.”

He was asked to respond to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s statement to parliament that all governments gather information on each other.

“I’ve got news for you,” Natalegawas said. “We don’t do it.”

Natalegawa said he has ordered the Indonesian ambassador in Canberra to return home to Jakarta as soon as possible.

“It’s impossible for an ambassador in foreign country to do their duty in the midst of an unfortunate situation like this,” he said.

“The summoning of the ambassador is not considered a light step, but it’s a minimum step we can do to consolidate situation, and to show our firm but measured act.”

Indonesia is also vowing to review the placement of some Australian officials in Jakarta as the government has already ordered a review of its cooperation with Canberra on a host of issues.

Indonesia’s powerful coordinating minister for legal, political and security affairs, Djoko Suyanto, is reportedly doing the review, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

Indonesia is demanding Australia make an “official and public explanation” and “commit not to repeat such actions”, the ministry said.

The spying allegations came from documents leaked by whistle-blower Edward Snowden which were published by broadcaster ABC and the Guardian newspaper.

The bitter diplomatic row is the latest in a series of spying allegations that have strained relations between the two allies.

On Nov 1, Indonesia summoned Australia’s ambassador amid reports that Australia’s Jakarta embassy was used as part of a US-led spying network in Asia.

This followed reports that Australian spy agency - the Defence Signals Directorate (now known as the Australian Signals Directorate), attempted to listen to Yudhoyono’s calls at least once, and tracked calls made to and from his mobile phone, in August 2009.

The two news outlets published slides from the directorate’s presentation, which appeared to show a list of Indonesian “leadership targets” and the handset models used by each target, as well as a diagram of “voice events” of the Indonesian president.

One slide entitled “Indonesian President voice intercept (August ‘09)” appeared to show an attempt to listen to the content of a phone call to Yudhoyono.

Indonesian presidential spokesman Teuku Faizasyah had earlier called on Australia to provide answers. “The Australian Government urgently needs to clarify on this news, to avoid further damage,” he said.

“The damage has been done and now trust must be rebuilt.” (November 18th 2013)

Indonesia Sends $2m Typhoon Haiyan Aid to Philippines Indonesia has donated $2 million for victims of super typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines as part of solidarity between Asean countries that have suffered severe natural disasters, an official said on Wednesday. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), said the receipt of aid was handed to the Philippines’ ambassador to Jakarta Maria Rosario C. Aguinaldo by Coordinating Minister of Welfare Agung Laksono at the minister’s office on Tuesday (12/11). The United Nations has launched a $300 million appeal to cover the unfolding humanitarian crisis, and it has already released $25 million to cover first responders and other emergency lines of aid. Japan has sent a 10-person medical team in addition to $10 million, while Australia has donated a similar amount of aid. Both the US and UK have sent naval ships - including the USS George Washington aircraft carrier - in addition to $20 million and $10 million, respectively. Other nations, including New Zealand, South Korea and the UAE have sent sizeable offers of help to Manila. The world’s second-largest economy has, however, been on the receiving end of criticism for its contribution to the global aid appeal. China has given its neighbor ony $100,000. (November 13th 2013) 121 Million Kids Exposed to Smoking, Activists Claim An estimated 121 million Indonesian children are at risk of developing a smoking-related illness because one or both parents smoke at home, activists have warned, amid opposition by tobacco growers to attempts by the government to sign an international convention on more stringent tobacco control. Dr. Nastiti N. Rahajoe, a pediatrician, said at a discussion in Jakarta that the figure was extrapolated from data from the University of Indonesia’s Institute of Demographics and the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak). She noted that while the effects of secondhand smoke were well documented, what was less well known was the fact that the chemicals in the smoke could damage children’s immune system, leaving them vulnerable to a wide range of illnesses. “The most obvious effects are on the respiratory system and skin,” Nastiti told the Jakarta Globe.

She added that chemical elements in cigarette smoke could stay on clothes, furniture and walls for a long time. Nastiti said short-term effects of exposure to secondhand smoke included respiratory tract infections, while long-term effects included lung disease and various kinds of cancer. “That’s why we need to keep cigarette smoke away from children,” she said. (November 11th 2013) Australian Surfer Left in Coma after Being King Hit in Bali An Australian man is in a coma after being king hit outside a nightclub in Bali. Surf instructor Matt Scarff, 41, was attacked as he left a nightclub late Friday (15/11) night and has been in a critical condition ever since, relatives told the ABC. Mr. Scarff is understood to have undergone an operation to remove a clot and release the pressure on his brain. “The plan is to have him medically evacuated back to Australia as soon as he is fit to fly,” Mr. Maguire’s post said. “Matt is not covered by insurance and his family is (bearing) this cost.” He said in an update this afternoon Matt remains in a drug-induced coma but has stabilized and “vital signs look good”. Mr. Maguire told the ABC doctors have given the green light for Mr Scarff to be moved to Darwin shortly. According to reports, Mr. Scarff is the co-owner of the Bali Learn to Surf School. A man who identified himself as Matt’s brother linked to the fundraising page on Twitter and said “urgent help” was needed. The Department of Foreign Affairs told news.com.au it is providing consular assistance to Mr. Scarff and his family.

“Officials from the Australian Consulate-General in Bali are providing consular assistance to a 41-year-old man from Victoria and his family,” a spokeswoman said. (November 19th 2013)

Bali Demands Stricter Regulations for Tourist Visits to Temples

Garuda Bans Shark Fin Transport on Flights: WWF-Indonesia

Bali Governor to Implement Vehicle Control Program

The Bali tourist industry is urging the provincial administration to implement stricter regulations for tourists visiting temples instead of banning them, saying tourism was fine as long as the places of worship’s purity was upheld. The statement was made in connection with Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika’s plan to halt the national strategic tourism plans (KSPN) for sites on the island and to exclude Hindu temples from tourist visits. Head of the Bali office’s Indonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI), Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, said on Friday (9/11) that the industry had discussed the matter and decided that a strategy was necessary to promote the island’s tourism. Wijaya said that the meeting had urged the administration to talk about and formulate a detailed regulation for a strategy that is specific to Bali. He added that the KSPN should go on, however pointing out the necessity to observe conditions in the respective areas.

Currently Besakih Temple authorities are the only group that has resisted inclusion in the tourism plan. Wijaya said the plan implementation there could be suspended, but the others should go on. (November 14th 2013)

The World Wildlife Fund-Indonesia praised the nation’s flagship carrier Garuda-Indonesia on Friday (15/11) for banning the transportation of shark fins aboard all flights.The blanket embargo, effective on Oct. 8, has Garuda joining a growing list of international airlines taking a stance against the destructive practice. Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Fiji Airways and Korean Air are among the carriers to ban the transport of shark fins, the statement read. The airline’s commitment represents a major step in curbing the global trade of shark fins. Garuda previously transported some 36 tons of shark fins a year, WWFIndonesia said. Indonesia is the world’s leading source of shark fins - which are used as the main ingredient in a popular, and expensive, Chinese soup. (November 15th 2013)

Bali Governor I Made Mangku Pastika has vowed to limit registrations for new vehicles brought onto the island in a move to bring the increasing number of cars in Bali under control. This announcement comes as part of the ‘Zero Growth’ initiative for vehicles, aimed at offsetting growth in vehicle ownership with new road construction.

“We also want to stop older vehicles from other parts of the country being re-licensed with Bali number plates,” Pastika told media on Thursday (14/11) afternoon. According to Pastika, the purpose of the moratorium is to put less of a burden on the current road infrastructure, allowing it to be upgraded to provide a better network for all motorists. Other related proposals in the works include a higher tax on households with more than one vehicle, as well as the introduction of fees for vehicles entering or passing into Bali. “We will continue to implement cheap public transportation schemes to help further ease road congestion,” added Pastika. (November 15th 2013)

Another British Woman Faces Death Penalty After Trafficking Crystal Meth A former police community support officer is facing the death penalty after admitting trafficking 1.4kg (3lb) of crystal methamphetamine into Indonesia. Andrea Waldeck a 43-year-old woman from Gloucestershire, was arrested by detectives who searched her hotel room and found crystal methamphetamine worth £3,000 taped to her stomach, in Surabaya, East Java, in April 2013. According to prosecutors, after leaving her job as a PCSO last year, Waldeck crossed the globe to become part of an “evil conspiracy” involving an Indonesian drug-smuggling gang. She told a court in the city that she had been coerced into bringing the drugs from China, the BBC reported. Waldeck, who was declared bankrupt in 2009 with debts of more than £120,000, is due to appear at court again on 25 November for sentencing.

Gloucestershire Police said the community support officer left the force in February 2012. (November 11th 2013) HIV/ AIDS in Bali Estimated at 26,000 People The Department of Health in Bali estimates the number of people with HIV / AIDS on the Island could have reached 26,000. The estimation is based on the results of monitoring the distribution of HIV / AIDS cases in Bali and a survey in 2012 of 2,000 subjects of which 20 percent are HIV positive.

Head of the department Ketut Suarjaya states that until now the number of people registered as living with HIV in Bali is 8,141. This represents a vast difference in figures of those that have been tested and treated and those people not yet diagnosed with the disease that could potentially transmit HIV. Statistics from August 2013 show that of the 8,000 patients suffering from HIV, 77.7% contracted the virus through heterosexual activity, and 4.4% were homosexual.

Suarjaya said the HIV awareness, testing and treatment programs had not reached their full potential adding that in an effort to maximize the response to HIV / AIDS the Bali provincial government planned to allocate Rp 6 billion to the program in 2014. In addition the VCT clinics or voluntary HIV testing clinic would also be given extra support.

Suarjaya also stated that the government distributed 80,000 condoms to sex workers and their clients.

WTO Talks Enter Crunch Stage as Bali Summit Looms Negotiators are under mounting pressure to finalize a deal ahead of a WTO summit seen as a make or break moment for the body that oversees the rules of global commerce.

Roberto Azevedo, who took over as WTO director general in September, has vowed to spare no effort during last-ditch talks at its Geneva base, as diplomats struggle to craft a draft accord to ease barriers to global commerce. The World Trade Organization’s 159 member economies are locked in what officials dub a “meat-grinder,” striving to bridge differences between rich countries, emerging powers and the world’s poorest nations over the concessions needed to yield a deal for a ministerial summit on December 3-6 on Bali. (November 13th 2013) Tour Bus Plunges into Ravine at Uluwatu, Kills 4 Chinese Tourists Six people, including four Chinese tourists, were killed Monday (18/11) after the tour bus they were riding plunged into a ravine in the hilly southern part of the resort island of Bali. Beno Lauhanapessy, chief of the Bali traffic police, said the driver and the tour guide of the bus were also killed.

“The bus was carrying 15 passengers, all Chinese tourists,” Mr. Lauhanapessy told reporters. He didn’t disclose the conditions of the survivors, but said they were all being treated at several hospitals. The bus apparently plunged into a 20m-deep ravine in Uluwatu, a popular tourist site known for its Hindu temple. Mr. Lauhanapessy said according to eye witnesses, the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle after its engine stalled on a winding road. (November 18th 2013) Bali-Bound Holiday Makers Warned about Measles Aussie schoolies have been told to check they’re vaccinated after 27 Australians caught measles while holidaying in Bali recently. Health authorities have told travelers to the Indonesian island to ensure they are vaccinated against the highly infectious disease before they leave. There have been 27 cases of measles connected to travel to Indonesia, particularly Bali, across Australia in recent weeks, NSW Health says. There have been 29 measles cases in NSW this year, 20 of which were acquired overseas or interstate or were closely linked to these cases. More than a quarter of these have been linked to those in Bali. NSW Health’s Dr Vicky Sheppeard has urged people traveling to Bali for schoolies to ensure they’re up to date with their vaccinations.

Dangerous New Eruption at Sumatra’s Sinabung Volcano Superheated ash and gas flowing down the slopes of Indonesia’s Sinabung volcano signals the intensity of eruptions may be increasing at the fiery mountain, according to local officials. More than 5,000 people have been evacuated from towns and villages in North Sumatra’s Karo Regency since Mount Sinabung awoke in October after a three-year dormancy. Karo is an agricultural region that supplies vegetables for surrounding islands. The Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation warned people not to approach within 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) of Mount Sinabung.

On Monday (Nov. 11), a pyroclastic flow, a fast-moving avalanche of ash, lava fragments and air, was seen racing down the peak. Since then, the volcano has blasted out one to two ash explosions every day. Lava has flowed more than 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) from the top of the volcano. (November 15th 2013) Archeologists Thrilled by Temple Find An excavation team from Yogyakarta’s Heritage Conservation Agency believes a large temple lies buried in Sleman, Yogyakarta, after they discovered artifacts that indicate a site of religious significance. Experts have been intrigued by gold and silver pieces found with the cauldron. The pieces have tiny characters written on them that are still being analyzed. “Based on our findings, we are fairly sure a large temple lies deep under the ground as what we discovered is only part of the upper structure,” Wahyu Astuti, conservation section head of Yogyakarta’s BPCB, said on Friday (15/11). The BPCB team is finding it difficult to extend the excavation zone as its surrounding area is dominated by privately owned buildings. The Yogyakarta area as well as Central Java in general is home to a large number of historic temples, boasting Hindu and Buddhist influences dating back more than 1200 years, including the ancient temples of Borobodor (Buddhist), Prambanan (Hindu) and Mendut (Buddhist).

A Touch of Polynesia: Goa Garba and Pura Pusering Jagat A ride through the Pakrisan River Valley, towards the village of Sawan Gunung, is a total immersion into rural Bali in an area not covered by guidebooks and untrafficked by tourists.

With over 40 old temples in the region between the rivers Pakrisan and Petanu, particularly around the Pejeng area, the valley contains Bali’s richest collection of antiquities from the earliest known kettledrum and clay stupa to relatively modern Shivaite sculptures and rock-cut Buddhist sanctuaries and bathing places. Most antiquities are in the form of worn statues kept in important area temples.

The town of Pejeng, 48 km northeast of Denpasar, is named after an illustrious kingdom concentrated in the Bedulu-Pejeng area from the 9th century to the 14th century, when it fell to Majapahit invaders. East Javanese cultural influences started to appear in Bali in the beginning of the 11th century and the language used in inscriptions changed from Old Balinese to Old Javanese. Today Pejeng has a powerless but high-status puri (pemahyun). Most visitors drive from Denpasar right through Bedulu and Pejeng on their way to Tampaksiring and Penelokan, sometimes stopping en route – if at all - at the Gedong Arca Archaeological Musuem in Bedulu.

Goa Garba If you take the road east (right) just north o f P u r a Panataran Sasih, it meanders through the countryside for two km until you come across a sign on the right announcing the entrance to the ancient hermitage of Goa Garba (“The Womb”), about a 40-minute drive from Denpasar. This walkway is the more scenic and dramatic approach to the ancient temple, winding down into a small valley on the western bank of the Pakrisan River. At the bottom is a clearing and towering above is the temple, very unlike any that I’ve ever seen on Bali.

Pak Deco Runawa, the temple’s juru kunci (guardian), was scraping moss from the facade while standing at the top of a long narrow bamboo l a d d e r. A f t e r Pak Deco Runawa drinking in the natural surroundings, I started up the steep flight of roughlyhewn boulder stones and through a carved stone gateway.

Though a “typical” Balinese temple does not exist, this important pre-Hindu style temple, perhaps more than any other on the island, is a stark physical example of how Bali Hindu religion is only a veneer over complex, deeper-lying, indigenous superstitions.

ancient Polynesia and Micronesia, the aboriginal prototype of the Balinese temple was a rectangle of holy ground containing sacrificial altars and crude heaps or roughly cut stacks or tiers of stones. Ancient Balinese temples evincing this strong Polynesian feeling are usually found either in the mountains or along the coast.

The aesthetics of a temple are judged by its symmetry and harmony with its surroundings and by this standard Goa Garba makes a striking and indelible impression. Blocks of stone have been joined without mortar and perfectly fit together to give the structure the appearance of great strength. It’s surfaces look worn because the blocks and bricks were originally rubbed together and sluiced with water.

With the growing use of ferroconcrete form construction, ancient temple building typified by Goa Garba has becoming a lost art. It is doubtful if artisans can be found on Bali who would be able to construct a temple of this majesty today.

The shrines in courtyards of contemporary temples can be traced back to these rough stone pyramids. In many cases, craftsmen have added new stonework, cement altars and fresh decorations, often hiding the original work. The terraced layout of such temples as Pura Kehen in Bangli and Pura Besakih and Karangasem also suggest very early origins. Some mountain villagers still practice ceremonies echoing back to prehistory, when through shamanistic rites the spirits of fearsome nature gods would visit the megaliths.

About halfway up the steps of Goa Garba, just past the gateway, is a boulder step enclosed by a iron gate on which the footprint of the giant Kebo Iwa himself is imprinted, embellished when I was there with a small offering of flowers.

If you visit Goa Garba at night, pay your respects by placing a canang sari (flower offering) or banten (offering with candy) at this altar. Kebo Iwa was the bellicose prime minister of Bedulu Kingdom. Pak Deco explained that the sap of the two old trees towering over the temple is said to constitute a powerful medicine for people who want to gain physical and mental powers.

When I asked Pak Deco Runawa what year the temple was built, he answered 1116 A.D. To the side were water springs and bathing places (the king’s on the left, the queen’s on the right), and up above three meditation niches hewn out of the rock face, with slanting roofs and carvings decorating the wall above. Inscriptions in Kediri script above the hermitage cells are still legible – the basis upon which the temple has been dated in the 12th century during the reign of King Jaya Pangus.

Scattered about were a few pieces of ancient sculpture, lingga and pedestals.

One of the most familiar Balinese architectural features is the remarkable split gateway (candi bentar), a tall monumental structure cut exactly down the middle, its walls rising to an ornamental peak. The gap in the middle symbolically separates the two halves of the Indic cosmic mountain, Mahameru. An instantly recognizable emblem of Bali, this sacred structure often serves inappropriately as an entrance gate to hotels, palaces, supermarkets and government offices.

Goa Garba’s gateway, however, which lies halfway up the structure, is squarish and brutish in shape, an early and powerful prototype of the candi bentar.

At the top of the stairs I met the juru kunci’s father, I Dewa Gede Badung. The position of juru kunci is kept in the family, passed down from father to son – but not necessarily to the I Dewa Gede Badung first born son. The responsibility of cleaning, maintaining, restoring and guarding the temple is passed down most often to the most religious or most motivated son, as was the case when I Dewa Gede Badung bequeathed the honor to his son Pak Deco Runawa.

It’s easy to see in this temple’s construction how Balinese temples derive from the Neolithic sanctuaries of prehistoric Bali. Like the primitive stone enclosures and platforms of

One hundred meters on the right past the entrance sign, bamboo shelter and smooth cement walkway down to Goa Garba is the walled compound of Pura Pengukur Ukuran which

means “The Temple Where All Things Are Measured.” Follow the red arrow inside the grounds and park your car on the right hand side beside the amphitheatre-like cockfighting arena. Built by King Jaya Pangus on the edge of a ravine at the end of the 12th century, this temple’s inner courtyard contains numerous bale, pre-Hindu megaliths, worn carved stones and an ornate shrine with lingga. To get to Goa Garba, just walk 75 meters straight ahead and descend down the steep stairway of big stone steps and through the stone portal.

No entrance or parking fees.

Pura Pusering Jagat To get to Pura Pusering Jagat, travel east out of Peliatan, pass Goa Gajah on the right and one km further at the big intersection (Jl. Raya Goa Gajah and Jl. Raya Pejeng) go straight ahead. The big temple on the left, Pura Pusering Jagat, dates from 1329 and is thought to be the center of the old Pejeng kingdom. A major pilgrimage site, during the full moon this pura plays part in legends surrounding Bali’s last indigenous king, Bedaulu, and his escape from the Majapahit army in 1343 through an underground tunnel to the bandit isle of Nusa Penida. In the pura is a stone that no one may ever move because it’s believed to be the secret entrance to the tunnel. See the four dancing mustachioed demons in Gedong Puser Tasik on the temple’s east side with their sneering expressions, bulging eyes, swinging penises, clubs in their right hands and conch shells in their left. This type of statuary, with figures on all four sides, is called catuhkaya.

Housed in a shrine behind the temple is the Pejeng Vessel, or Mandala Giri, a cylindrical stone vase entwined with serpents which portrays the churning of the sea of milk in Hindu mythology. The carvings on the bowl relate the story of nine gods, each corresponding to a different quarter of the compass. A chronogram dates the vessel from 1329. South of Pura Puser Ing Jagat, Pura Arjuna Metapa (“Temple Where Arjuna Meditated”) is comprised of a small group of portrait statues of Arjuna and his ever-present, jocular companions/ servants, Merdah and Twalen, and heavenly nymphs who were sent by the gods to tempt him, as well as a large kalahead. The statues must have adorned temples and bathing places.

Considered one of Bali’s six main religious temples (known as Sad Kahyangan Jagat), Pura Pusering Jagat is equal in status to Pura Besakih and Pura Uluwatu. The Pura Pusering Jagat “six temples of the world” are the holiest temples in Bali. According to Balinese beliefs, they are important spiritual pivotal points of the island and strict guidelines have been established to preserve their sanctity.

A “no-build” zone (apeneleng agung) with a protective radius of 5 km is preserved around the complex; not even traditional villages may be situated nearby. Lesser public temples (Pura Dang Kahyangan) also require a protective radius of 3 km (apeneleng alit), while lesser temples (Pura Kahyangan Tiga) have an off-set of 2 km (apenyengker). The only accommodations allowed to be built near religious sites are known as Dharmasala or inns for religious pilgrims who participate in the ceremonial life of a temple.

Devout Hindus believe this no-build rule to be necessary to avoid the pollution and resulting bad vibrations created when acts that are in conflict with religious norms occur in too close proximity to supremely holy temples. The proper distance to be maintained when building near holy places in Bali is meant to preserve the balance between man, nature and god. <pakbill2003@yahoo.com> Copyright © 2013 Bill Dalton You can read all past articles of Bali Explorer at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

Mummy Am I a Bule?

By Caroline Donnellan My daughter is 2 years old and she knows something is up. Her world has been turned upside down. We have relocated to Bali and things are absolutely not as they were, in fact there are much, much better.

I have embraced my new island life with gusto, passion and attempted grace. I feel such gratitude to have the opportunity to be here. However what I have learned trying to set us up in Ubud is that Bali ain’t no paradise. Some days are tough, inexplicably frustrating and intense. Sometimes I want to throw the sarong in, leave the frangipanis in a crumpled pile and go home. Fortunately like all bad winds, the moment passes and I learn something new, breath, expand my growing purse of patience and move on. I love Bali. It teaches me not to over react and to live one day at a time.

We will be staying……. for now. The decision of permanency is still up for negotiation.

Part of my new enlightenment has stemmed from learning the difference between being a tourist and being an ex-pat in an Asian country. Having come to Ubud many times over the past ten years with and without my child, I am familiar with the blissful experience of relaxing by a pool, doing a bit of Yoga, taking day trips to temples and the sea, surrendering to many cheap massages and then sadly packing up a pile of trinkets and going home. I was not prepared however for how quintessentially different my daily routines and relationship with the land and its people would become when living here more long term.

The word expatriate means in its broadest sense a person living in a different country from where they are a citizen. In common usage, the term is often used in the context of professionals sent abroad by their companies, as opposed to locally hired staff.

Retirement abroad usually makes one an “expatriate” however like many foreigners or bule, I don’t think my reasons for being here fit into any of these categories.

FINDING YOUR HOME SWEET HOME The first hurdle was to find a house that suited my family needs, budget and style of living. I did this with the assistance of a Balinese friend who owned accommodation where I had stayed as a tourist . We actually lived in a house/villa attached to the hotel style accommodation for the first month. This was extremely helpful as it gave me time to discover many things about my needs and make contacts, which helped when I finally chose a house for us to rent.

Now that I have found the perfect (or close enough) home, the late night fretting seems a d i s t a n t , hallucinogenic m e m o r y .

Nonetheless my concerns were very real at the time.

Balinese houses are generally not too safe for a 2 year old. With unfenced pools, hideously dangerous balconies (with wonderful views) and extremely steep stairs, it is difficult to find a living space where you don’t need eyes in the back of your head 24 sevens. Over time, I realised I wanted a place where we could drive in, which at first did not seem a high priority. Sometimes I need to get home quickly and don’t want to carry a tired two year old over pot-holes, narrow paths and frog and lizard friendly steps late at night. The torch and a sense of humor only work for so long.

I also learned that there were property agents that handle longterm rentals and they could take some of the hard work out of the looking around for you. I spoke with Nathaniel, a real estate agent who helps ‘match the right house with the right person’.

What kind of things should people take into consideration when choosing a house to live in here?

Construction can be an issue; there is a lot of it going on in Bali at the moment. Sometimes people can see up to 30 houses before they make a decision. The sort of things you need to consider is

how many rooms you need, AC or not, living outside or inside and the condition of the kitchen.

People’s needs can change to what they first imagine however certain things stay the same like a need for hot water and a strong Wi-Fi connection. Most people change their minds about AC, mosquito nets and motorbike riding.

I have to confess, I am in the no motorbike category, I just don’t trust myself, especially with a 2 year old. I hired a car at 2.7 million IDR and realised driving was not as scary as it seems. Let me qualify this statement, it is not fear inspiring driving in the day however the traffic can be extremely frustrating. Make sure you have great music. I am sufficiently equipped with a Goosey, Goosey Gander CD and new Indonesian/English hybrid of unique nursery rhymes by Ibu Susan from the Yellow Coco Creative Nest (Ubud). On bikes it is my strong suggestion that children and adults wear helmets. On longer trips, I now employ a driver. Once again these choices are personal and need to suit your living and working situation.

What mistakes have you seen people make when they first come to Bali?

Making a move before you know what is happening around you.

I’ve seen situations where families move into a place and the next day building starts. This can often make people feel unsafe or feel their sense of peace and privacy is minimized.

You have to remember, there won’t be any Council Development Approval signs to warn you of pending building plans. You have to suss these things out. Personally I don’t mind a bit of hammering noise and Balinese building site chaos. It adds to the excitement and feeling of immediacy I experience living here.

Nathaniel advises new timers to come and stay in a hotel or a friends place for a month and get to know an area before they make any serious decisions about where they want to live. Also something to consider is that leases are not always flexible, often Balinese house and landowners will use your rent money to pay their loans off straight away. Be careful paying too much money up front in case you need to change your mind.

I also spoke with Melanie Jones and found her insights differed slightly to mine as she lives in Umalas, near Kuta. Melanie owns a business called The Contemporary Music School (CMS) Bali and in her work she meets a varied range of families. It is a performing arts school that offers vocational learning in Music, Dance and Drama.

Melanie was more pragmatic in her approach to housing in Bali. ‘If you are western – do you really believe that you can live like a local?

Mosquitos, Dengue F e v e r, R a b i e s , Typhoid…. It’s all here. Don’t take risks, with unfenced swimming pools if your kids are not water wise. This is not a holiday anymore – this is your life. If you choose open air living then be prepared for all the bugs of Bail, birds and cats to live with you. If you choose closed home living like a Westerner, then be prepared to pay big power bills for AC or swimming pools as the main power source comes from Java. Be intelligent about the space you need for the life you will live”. Once again trying out a few options and waiting before you make a permanent decision will certainly help you ascertain your must haves and have not’s in this regard. If you really do want that pool, you can put a temporary fence around a pool in a rented house if necessary. The company Kids Safe Bali Pool fencing can help.

Melanie says she has seen people make some drastic mistakes when first coming to Bali. She warns people that if you trust others too quickly both locals and expats could burn you. ‘It’s tough to make money here and sustain a regular income, especially when you have children. You need an Indonesian to help you with sponsorships, visas, purchasing a house, acquiring a bank account, setting up business and the list goes on. So, you have to be careful with whom you trust. Many others and I put our faith into the beautiful friends that we had made over years of coming as a tourist, to discover, that some of these “friends” were only looking after their own interests. Choose your business associates wisely, have all documents translated and take nothing for granted.”

Melanie had a lot of positive things to say about her life in Bali.

‘It has made me understand a global identity, an awakening of sorts. I came from such a protected country, so it was a great wake up call. Bali has an incredible cosmopolitan attraction and as a result, the island is a rare tropical metropolis.

It provides big business to real estate owners and developers, manufacturers and exporters.

The spirituality of this island attracts the league of yogis, raw, vegan, healers, poets, writers, artists, designers, and musicians.

I love the humility of Bali. I love the smiles from the Balinese as the first expression for all of their reactions – sad, mad, shock, and glad. The vibration of this island is so unique, and I can’t imagine living my life anywhere else.”

HIRING STAFF Working with Indonesian staff can be challenging and the initial unease with the disparity of privilege is an emotionally difficult reality to digest, especially for first timers. I am still trying to find equilibrium between my growing expectations and what is delivered, particularly with my nanny. Communication is the key, I have found. A no brainer really, management of staff is the same wherever you go.

Melanie suggests you “Find a reputable agency to hire your staff!”.

Another family said that their pembantu has been a saving grace and they found her by walking across the street and hiring a neighbour. An added bonus to having local staff that you can trust is that they know when you are in or out which is an added security.

Unfortunately I learned the hard way, I have made every mistake in the book. Overpaying my staff a month ahead, getting too close, being more flexible than I actually want to be and exposing my feelings more than needed. As I learn what works and what doesn’t, I realise that my natural inclinations are not necessarily the key to success in building trust in this kind of relationship. This element to life in Bali is obviously a keenly personal one and will depend on different circumstances of each family. My only advice is to get advice and listen to experiences good and bad of other ex-pats.

THE INTERNET IS YOUR FRIEND IN BALI I have been thoroughly impressed with the availability of Wi-Fi in cafes and restaurant all throughout the island. I could not get Wi-Fi in my home so I have opted for a Smartfren Internet Stick, which you can get from any Telco warung. It suits me as I can use it everywhere, even in the car. Some of the Facebook websites I have found invaluable are Bali For Kids, Ubud Community, and Bali Expats. There are many more with easy to use links once you get started.

Parks and playgrounds are few and far between. Tamanak park is good in Ubud. Most shopping malls have indoor play centres, which you will pay a minimum fee for. Peek a Boo kids play park in Sanur is clean and more Western style. Lollipops in Seminyak is indoor gymnastic style and outdoor water play , my daughter loved it – ‘ Just like home Mummy’.

For a more touristy experience, when the friends and family visit the Bali Bird Park, Bali Zoo or the Elephant Safari Park. Bali for Kids is a brilliant book, (purchase at Ayesha and Alaska Tamanak Park Periplus or Ganesha Bookshop) which has many suggestions for kid friendly hotels, daily outings and shopping hints.

Although it is still early days for my daughter and I, we are still acclimatizing into the unique Balinese way of life. The more I learn, the more I feel safe and secure for my daughter and the more I want to stay on.

Felicity Castagna: Writer, Teacher, Traveler

F e l i c i t y Castagna was born in Sydney.

Her family moved to the United States when she was seven and she grew up mostly in the San Francisco area.

F e l i c i t y ’ s s t r o n g e s t memories are associated with books. Her first loves were the works of Enid Bllyton and R. L. Stein.

While living in the USA, the family often visited Australia for extended periods but moved back for good when Felicity was 18. She has travelled all over Southeast Asia and has spent much time in Indonesia. Felicity is currently in the third year of her doctorate at The University of Western Sydney. Her thesis is about the way that Australian writers write about space and place.

Have you travelled extensively in Indonesia?

I’ve travelled through a large part of Indonesia. I love the country for so many reasons but one of the main ones is the great artistic culture and the willingness of artists to share and collaborate with others. I particularly like the work of younger Indonesian artists who create work that combines traditional Indonesian forms like gamelan, batik or lyric poetry with more contemporary forms that show an influence from other parts of Asia and the West. The live music scene in Indonesia is much more robust than anything we have in Australia and more people take the time to get out and appreciate it and support their local musicians. I bought a lot of CDs last time I was in Jakarta and I’m still enjoying the music of Samsons and Naf.

expat Westerners who can’t really capture the landscapes and cultures themselves. So, in many ways, that’s what the book ended up being about: an exploration of the impact of being foreign in foreign places you can never really understand. This yielded some really interesting results though: one traveller becomes a Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the casinos of Macau; an obsessive son of Australians living in Jakarta confronts his strange rituals; a young woman is trapped in the boredom of her father’s ministry in exotic Borneo; another is a story of a woman who undergoes a transformative experience in Ubud in Bali.

ART & ARTISTS

Limited Time Exhibitions

I like books that seem to offer me something different from what I’ve read before. This might come in the form of an exploration of a community that doesn’t get represented much in writing, a unique voice, narrative structure or blending of genres that do not usually go together. It’s witnessing that kind of inventiveness that allows me to think about what fiction can do.

Don’t worry about what is ‘fashionable’ in current publishing. Don’t write what you think people want, Instead, make people want what you have to write. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about something that I heard Shaun Tan say in an interview once. He said that the point of writing is to offer your reader a really beautifully formed question. I think that’s a wonderful lesson. As a younger writer I think I wanted to ram a lot of messages down my readers’ throats. I wanted to tell them what the answers were. Now I concentrate on giving them a question about the world they live in. I allow them to have the space to find their own answers. This is ultimately more fulfilling for them. Though it’s a lot more difficult, I also think that it is ultimately more fulfilling for the writer as well.

Please e-mail Bali Advertiser to place your exhibition here free of charge.

If you could meet any writer or any character from any book you’ve read, who would they be?

I’d love to meet Virginia Wolf, though I imagine I’d probably be too intimidated to speak to her. I tend to get really nervous around writers that I admire. I’d like to meet the character Oscar from Junot Diaz’ Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. He’s one of the most compelling antiheroes of modern day literature. I just wanted to tear him out of that book and save him from himself.

If you could require your new PM Tony Abbot to read a book, what would it be?

In Fear of Security: Australia’s Invasion Anxiety by Anthony Burke. Burke provides an historical framework for understanding what otherwise may seem inexplicable responses to issues of migration and race in Australia. His central argument is that Australian political figures (like Tony Abott) have always portrayed Australia as vulnerable to a loss of sovereignty, leading to an irrational fear and anxiety about migration.

What do you write about?

Do you have any books planned?

I am most interested in writing that explores people’s relationship to the places they inhabit, even if only for a short time, and the affect that place has over them. Many people have commented that I’ve produced two quite different books - Small Indiscretions is a collection of stories about travellers in Asia and The Incredible Here and Now is a young adult book set in Parramatta. But I see them as being quite similar in that in both places are explored to the point where they become characters in themselves.

I’m writing a new novel at the moment but it’s still in its early stages. It explores Australia’s reaction to the Tampa Crisis in which the Australian government refused permission for a distressed fishing vessel from Indonesia carrying 438 rescued refugees to enter Australian waters.

Where may one learn more about your work? www.felicitycastagna.com

It’s a collection of short stories in which each story explores a different traveller in a different city in Asia. In this book the challenge was to capture the landscapes and cultures of Asia from the perspective of transient and

Nom de plume

Occasional Articles From Our Readers

Surviving Bali On A ‘Bike Christina is a savvy 60-year-old American who has come to Bali to set up nest. She has never ridden a motorbike before and has already fallen off twice in two weeks.

– “I’ve just learnt how to turn left,” she says, “without feeling as if I’m going to tip over.” It might not come as a surprise that the death-count on Bali’s roads has spiraled out of control. During the whole of 2010, 541 people out of a population of 3.9 million died in road traf¿c accidents. From just March to May 2011 the number leaped to a staggering 758 dead, including six foreigners - with most fatalities riding motorbikes. The rise is puzzling until you factor in the ease with which a local can set up a credit plan at a motorcycle dealership - with a downpayment of as little as Rp.250,000 - and ride off into the sunset. In 2006 there were 1.58 million vehicles on the island; by July 2011 the number had surged to 2.35 million and counting.

Simply put, the roads in Paradise are full to bursting.

The vast majority of Balinese people have never taken a test or driving lesson in their lives. Most buy their license from the police. There are children of nine riding without papers, helmets or insurance. Young families of ¿ve balanced on a moped are not uncommon. Add a teenage girl who’s texting while she’s tailgating, a bunch of speeding 15-year-old boys, throw in a wife trailing a wheelbarrow behind her Yamaha as her husband steers and you’ve got an explosive mix.

Stefan, a 49-year-old expat Briton working in Sanur on Bali’s south coast has been to Borneo and back on his Honda Africa Twin 750.

– “Most riders who die in Bali aren’t wearing helmets or don’t do them up p r o p e r l y.

There are no fixed rules here: anything goes. If people see a space, they go through it. Mirrors and indicators are ornamental. For me, some of the most dangerous people on the road are white people. I avoid them. You can tell the ones who are going to hurt other people - the ¿xed grins, the wobbling around corners, the shouts of indignation when they nearly hit someone because they have absolutely no idea how life works here.” Road-rage is extremely rare on Bali: losing your temper in public is considered the height of rudeness and to be avoided at all costs.

“If you’ve never ridden before,” advises Stefan, “don’t even think about renting a ‘bike here. Having lots of overseas experience can also hurt: you’ve got ingrained rules that just don’t apply here. In Britain, if you Àash your lights it means: ‘Come out, you can go’. In Bali, it means: ‘Watch out because I’m not stopping and I will crush you’. Using your horn in Western countries is often a last resort. Here you beep quickly to let someone know you’re going to overtake them, or you give a quick beep at somebody who looks as if they’re going to pull out in front of you without looking, or you beep before you take a blind corner. It’s not impolite, and it’s not an insult: don’t take it as one. Driving angry only causes more accidents.”

Mike, 57, an American expat living in Ubud who has been riding in Indonesia for 18 years, describes the traf¿c Àow on a typical Balinese road.

– “Imagine a school of ¿sh moving together. Go with it.

Anyone outside that Àow is the one who’s going to cause an accident. Stick to an imaginary lane. Don’t drive aggressively: drive very defensively. Keep an eye on who’s overtaking or undertaking you and don’t make any sudden moves unless you’re about to hit something.”

Fellow road users aren’t the only dangers.

Kites falling out of the sky; snakes crossing; chickens and dogs darting across the street; mounds of black building sand at the side of the road that are all but invisible at night; deep pot-holes that weren’t there the previous evening; clouds of insects at dusk that will temporarily blind you if you’re not using a visor.

Dave, 45, another Ubud resident, is a little more direct.

– “If you can’t survive a near-miss with an Ibu and not smile back when she smiles at you, you shouldn’t be on a ‘bike here. “If you’re uptight, you’re better off walking or getting on a bicycle. If you can’t stand being tailgated by a truck at 60kmh, you shouldn’t be on a ‘bike. I saw a triple-fatality involving two 14 or 15-year-old boys and a man in his 40s.

I arrived on the scene very soon after it happened. It was like the strangest theatre.

There was a crowd of 30 or so people who had come out from nearby shops. The whole scene was completely silent for about 15 minutes.

Nobody moved. In the middle of the road one of the boys groaned twice and the other didn’t budge at all. The two motorbikes were vaporised nearby.

The older man was lying with his face in the gutter bleeding out through his mouth. I offered my handphone to several people to call for an ambulance because I didn’t have a number: nobody would touch it because they didn’t want to get involved with the police. I ¿nally convinced a shop owner to call for help, and she disappeared into her shop. I went back to the man who was continuing to bleed out. No ambulance came. A young man leaned over my shoulder and ¿lmed the man on his handphone. About ten minutes later, when the man passed away, everybody bounced into life. The three bodies were rushed into a shop, the larger bits of the ‘bikes carried onto the pavement, the smaller bits of plastic kicked into the gutter and road-dust sprinkled over the blood. The next day I went past the same spot. There were just two white Xs painted on the ground, one for the two boys and one for the forty-year-old man. “I kept seeing things in my mirrors for a few months after that.”

If normal Balinese roads are closer in spirit to the Whacky Races, the by-pass running from Kuta to Sanur is Death Race 2000. The school of ¿sh has got tighter and margin for error has become slimmer. The long, beach-hugging road between Denpasar and Gilimanuk Port on the north-western tip of Bali is a serious accident blackspot for tired truckers on tight deadlines who may have just driven non-stop across Java to get there. Brakes may or may not have been serviced in the last year.

If you are intent on ‘biking on Bali, good luck. If you’re going to rent, bring the ‘bike to a bengkel - a garage - and cough up rp.100,000 for a quick service. Buy the best Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) helmet you can afford and do up the strap. Wear strong shoes - Àip-Àops are for the beach.

Leave your shorts at home - jeans and a thick jacket will save you several layers of skin when you come off. Forget broken bones or a fractured skull: a serious secondary skin infection from a gash in this ultra-humid climate is guaranteed to put your holiday plans on hold. And ¿nd some good travel insurance - after reading the small print.

Keep your headlight on at all times. If in doubt, go slow. Be polite with the police when they stop you. Hug the kerb when you’re taking a blind corner as other vehicles won’t think twice about veering into your path. If you’re unfamiliar with a road - especially at night - follow a local who has already mapped out the latest killer pot-holes. And if you’re riding pillion, use a slow-Àapping gesture with your arm - known locally as the magic hand-signal - to convince others that you really do intend to make that turn.

Better still, don’t bother.

Get on the back of an ojek - a motorcycle taxi - and learn from an expert. Grab a cab. Or go that extra mile and hire a car with a smiling, informative driver for as little as Rp.400,000 a day. Leave the stress to somebody else, sit back, wind down the windows and enjoy the magni¿cent views. You’re not going to get lost, or die, or be left with a brain injury, or kill someone else, or argue over a map, or go to jail, or get wet when it pours.
