Have you ever wondered how it’s like to have a new year every 210 days?

We have. The question popped up in our mind last Galungan day. As a matter of fact, we ask many questions every time we see interesting stuff around us. That’s what makes it fun to be in Bali. So many things going on that arouse wonderment and move us to search for answers that usually lead to more wondering. Life in the island is like an endless search for answer.

We may never find the ultimate answer to everything. But, then, why should we? Wouldn’t it kill all the fun of being in such an exciting place like Bali? Questions keep us going. And that’s what we need to do—to keep going.

Dear readers,

Questions compel us to write most articles in this magazine. We find some interesting facts when we wonder, “Is there something else besides tourism in Bali?” It turns out, there is. Plenty of them, actually.

We see artisans hard at work in their shops in Celuk. We see farmers at traditional markets, unloading fresh produce from their pick-up trucks. Currently, like most of us in the island, they greatly benefit from the well-performing Bali’s tourism industry. Yet, Balinese artisans and farmers have been around since the beginning of time.

The first visitors to the island came and stay because of these personalities; because of what they produce, and how they produce them. All the beautiful resorts and great food aside, some of the visitors today still come to Bali because of the same reason. And Bali’s tourism greatly benefit from this.

Now, that’s a new perspective we established at some point in our search for answer to the above question. It may not be the only perspective but it’s interesting for us.

Here we hope to share more interesting angle on life in Bali with you one issue at a time. If you are always fascinated by many things in Bali, you may want to stick around and enjoy the ride.

The Mayans didn’t mention what comes before 2012 - celebrations are definitely in order—and The Breezes Bali is hosting, December. The chic, four-and-a-half star Seminyak hotspot is commemorating its first two years with a packed schedule unraveling throughout the last month of 2011. The actual party will be going down on the nineteenth—and that’s one for the calendar.

Management wishes to welcome their loyal suppliers and any guests they may want to bring - as well as all staff, of course—out to have some serious fun.On the big night, between 4–6 p.m., it will finally be revealed who—of a tight and vibrant crew—are the best staff member, best supervisor, and best manager. Of a myriad of prizes, two sleek new motorcycles will be given away, along with some pepping door prizes.

Prior to this rousing soirée, The Breezes will be giving a little back to the community, donating blood and visiting Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak (YKPA)- the organization for street kids in Bali recently visited by Paris Hilton - to make a donation. There will also be sporting events, such as a group bike ride ‘funbike’, and of course some volleyball, prior to the big day. Other events in the coming month will aim at strengthening ties within a broad staff, from top to bottom management. Mixing office staff, front, and back house together, these activities will all to get passed first impressions, creating some solidarity—and maybe even some magic. ◆

It happens to common people on regular basis but when Tyra Banks found love in Bali last December it makes headlines everywhere. After her 3-year relationship with wealthy investment banker John Utendahl ended in heartbreak late last year, Banks --like many distressed lover before her—made a trip to Bali with a female friend last December.

In the island of gods, Tyra Banks immersed herself in a spiritual comfort which incidentally result in the supermodel found a new male companion to amend the split. Banks seemed considerably infatuated by her Balinese beau that after a brief return to New York she immediately flew back to Bali to spend the festive season with him. A source was reported to say that although it’s definitely a long-distance relationship, it still is a big deal for Tyra Banks. ◆

Tyra’s Romantic Excursion

More visitors can be expected to land in Bali as bigger ships are now clear to harbor in Benoa. On January 17, 2012, MV Legend of the Sea, the first cruise ship of its class, berths at Benoa harbor. The arrival took place after the harbor was dredged by the provincial transportation office.

According to Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sapta Nirwandar, at 264.3-meter-long, the Legend of the Seas was the biggest cruise ship to berth at an Indonesian port, in this case Benoa, Bali.

“Previously, cruise ships of the same size as the Legend could not berth at any Indonesia port. They could only throw anchor some distance from the coast and transport passengers to the shore by small boats,” said Kemal Heryandri, director of Bali’s Transportation Office.

Heryandri admitted that in 2011 coral reefs in the harbor waters was removed to ensure big ships, even those bigger than the MV Legend of the Sea, to navigate safely into the port. Local government had also dredged the coastal waters up to a depth of 11 meters, he added. 2,300 passengers and a 1,000-strong crew were on board the Legend of the Sea upon the historic anchorage in Benoa. The government hoped that the world will take note of the significance of the event. ◆

Silversmithing in Bali is believed to be endorsed by the God Brahma himself. He endowed the craftsman clan, the

Pande, with skills to adorn temples, palaces, kings and queens with silver artifacts. But the tourism industry is the one to thank for providing opportunity to make profit off the divine craftmanship.

It began in the early 1930’s when a group of painters in Gianyar, under the guidance of international artists and scholars Walter Spies, Rudolf Bonet, and Arie Smith, were exposed to other possibilities for their arts. They formed a community of Ubud artisans called Pitamaha. Soon after, artists of different disciplines from surrounding area joined in. Among them were several gold and silver craftsmen from Celuk.

The patronage of Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, the last king of Ubud, was instrumental at this stage. He actively pushed the spirit of Ubud artisanship to the outside world. Yet Celuk silver was decades from gaining its current reputation as it was but a desolate neighborhood like many in Gianyar.

Some silversmiths from the village who had by then started making silver jewelry for commoners had to peddle their merchandise all the way to Kuta beach and Denpasar where a promising tourist market was emerging. Celuk’s silver handicraft and jewelry was slowly attracting attention with its signature designs—built around the Bun (granulation) and Jawan (wiring) elements—that for hundreds of years furbished the likes of traditional bowl (bokor) and dagger (keris).

Celuk silver is entering a new era as it comes under threat from its own

popularity

Change, however, was in the air. It came down gradually during the first half of the 20th century before eventually made a touch down in the seventies when the first access road to Ubud was opened. Instead of making the long trip to the neighboring Badung regency, silver peddlers can now stand in front of their houses along the road to wait for tourists to stop for their silver craft. And stop they did.

In Celuk, tourists went crazy on silver merchandise. Production increased and money came pouring in. This encouraged an average school boy to stay home after school to learn the trade that bring in more than enough money to pay for his education. It worked all the way through the nineties—except for certain minor detail.

As silversmiths throughout Celuk churning millions of dollar worth of silver products they forgot about their intellectual rights on the designs. Artisans innocently believed that their god given craftsmanship was safe forever until outsiders walked in on it. Thousands of designs associated with Celuk silver were copied and transformed into a lesser quality merchandise elsewhere. Thousands other were claimed as private property by businesses in a profitable trade. Silver artisans of Celuk are left bewildered by the way everything pans out for them.

Some of them learned their lesson. Some other got discouraged. Those who determined to turn their fate began to prepare a comprehensive list of Celuk silver design. Even though security would never be achieved, the Celuk silversmith of today believe that there’s nowhere else to go but forward, just like their ancestors did.

Believe It or not

T here’s a patch of land in Oongan, North Denpasar that bears bad luck to those who come there and act disrespectfully. Taman Lila Wulangun, as it is known by locals, is perched on top of a steep slope on the bank of Ayung river, overlooking

the Oongan dam that connects the land and the main road.

If it isn’t for the hair-raising legend and several unfortunate deaths that occurred in the vicinity, Taman Lila Wulangun is such a perfect place to take refuge. After crossing the Oongan dam, visitors will be treated with a mix of lush greens, somber ambiance, and the sound of the Ayung river below.

Until the 90’s, Taman Lila Wulangun attracted many Denpasar residents who came there to fish or to just enjoy the scenery. Some of them were young couples who, in the heat of passion, forgot to watch their conduct. And this is where a tale about a curse on lovers who visit the place begins. Many of such visitors are said to have broken up with their partners after a visit to Taman Lila Wulangun. Of course, considering their young age, romantic relationships among them are naturally shaky.

Heartbreak is the hardest thing to get over. In Oongan, north of Denpasar, it stays for hundreds of years.

The Garden of Love LostBut heartbreaks and deaths are never far from Taman Lila Wulangun and the river dam in front of it. Elderly locals would confirm it based on a legend passed down to them about the dam, built by the Dutch colonial government in 1925 to extract more tax from the people.

Around the same time the area was controlled by the Badung palace, Kyai Anglurah Jambe Ketewel, the second king of Badung, ensured the building of the project conform to local spiritual requirements. It is said that offerings must be extended to the gods of the underworld (caru). Somehow, a couple of palace servants, a man and his wife, were picked to be that offering. They were to be sacrificed so the dam will be beneficial in the future.

It wasn’t clear how the servant couple felt at the time. But on the fateful day, both jumped into the river, some 75 meters north of the present dam, watched by the king and his officials. Religious ritual was conducted to accompany the couple to their deaths.

Apparently not too many outsiders in modern time are familiar with the legend. They come to Taman Lila Wulangun without regard to the place’s history, resulting in a new tale of heartbreaks.

The Secret Language of Survival on Bali Roads

B ahasa Indonesia is not the only language that Bali visitors must learn – especially if you drive or ride on our roads. There is

a separate, informal language for road users that, although it has no words or grammar, has its own peculiar syntax.

It is more akin to the body language used by dogs, which lets them identify strangers, assert their right of way, recognise alpha dogs, resolve territorial disputes and generally smooth the path of social interaction. Motorists and bike riders here, at least those who are still alive and uninjured, have not only learned this non-verbal language but use it fluently every day.

The first and most important rule is that size matters. Visitors from more regulated places might expect that every road user will follow the same set of guidelines, whether they are driving a bus or riding a moped. Not in Bali. Here, one’s ability to dominate a traffic situation is directly proportional to the physical size of your vehicle. It’s the Bigger Is Better Rule. So trucks give way to buses, cars give way to trucks, scooters give way to big motorbikes, and pedestrians are meant to give way to scooters. To add a little uncertainty to the system, cabs will often ignore this hierarchical structure. The magnitude and frequency of these lapses in protocol will depend on the taxi company involved and whether the driver is at the beginning or the end of his typically long shift.

The second rule of the secret traffic language is to do with the judicious use of lights. I don’t mean indicators, which when used at all, only serve as a visual clue that the driver or rider has made a turn some time during that day, or might be thinking about turning at some stage in the future. Or just has a fondness for flashing lights. Hazard flashers, however, are used to indicate that a car is continuing through an intersection without turning. They are never used to indicate that a car has stopped in a dangerous spot. In Bali, there is no need for this; you can safely assume that every parked car has been left in a dangerous spot.

No, the real light signal communication here is through the use of headlights. The ‘high-beam flash’ is used in conjunction with the Bigger Is Better Rule, but it’s the driver who flashes first who gets precedence. If you are proceeding up a narrow street and an oncoming taxi is stymied by a parked car, it will generally not stop until you have safely passed the chicane, but execute The Double Flash. This is the universal Bali GOOMW (Get Out Of My Way) signal. A especially tetchy driver will triple-flash you, which is more of a GOOMFW signal, and should not be ignored. Police and other authority figures may occasionally use the Multiple Repeated Flash, also known as the GOOMFW,YI. The correct response is to stop, or move over to the left as far as you can even if it means knocking

over several parked bikes and creaming the odd pedestrian to let the oncoming vehicle

through.The third rule has to do with the use of sound. A minor aspect of this is

the actual engine note of a vehicle. Whatever the other complex rules

say, if you hear a large truck coming at high speed, get out of the way immediately. Don’t get precious and listen for squealing brakes; most trucks here don’t have any. Get out of the way if you hear the characteristic sound of a Harley. You might theoretically have right of way, but its rider is likely to be bigger and tougher than you.

Anyway, that’s Bali. Needless to say, situations will arise where the Bigger Is Better Rule conflicts with the Double Flash Rule, and cannot be resolved by the He Who Beeps First, Wins or even the He Who Beeps Second, Wins Rule. This can lead to some hairy situations, but most of these can be overcome by a judicious application of the Slow Motion Good-Natured Bullying Rule, which is normally used at all Bali intersections. This simply involves continuing in your intended direction at a slow creep until someone eventually gives way to you. However, remember that regardless of all the other rules, the Don’t Collide With Anyone Even If You Supposedly Have Right Of Way Rule always, always has precedence.

Got all that? Makes trying to learn Bahasa a piece of cake, doesn’t it?

In Focus

A fter years of trying to get Mick Jagger to marry her, Jerry Hall, the Texas super model and long-time girlfriend of the notoriously licentious Rolling

Stone, finally got what she deserved. 12 years into their relationship, Jagger relent. On December 1990, he flew Hall and their two children to Bali to have a private traditional Balinese wedding in the obscurity of Ubud hinterland. A decade later, many couples from around the world follow suit.

Bali’s natural environment provides the perfect setting to tie the knot, and is the corner stone of an industry that flourish since the late 90’s. In Bali, except during the monsoon season, couples can opt to be wed outdoor throughout the year. There are choices of beach wedding, valley wedding, yacht wedding, villa wedding, and so on. The possibilities are endless.

“I had clients asking for under water wedding,” said Oka, a wedding organizer who admitted ‘have seen them all’. “Another couple came to me to be wed while sky diving.” Unfortunately, due to the specific nature of the ceremony, she couldn’t get the pastor and the state registry officer to be present with the couples during the procession. Yet, Oka proposed for some adjustment to help her clients go through with their plans before eventually declined the requests.

The process of having a dream wedding in Bali starts with choosing the right wedding organizer who will help couples bring their ideas into reality. Apparently, this particularly important element was missing from the Jagger-Hall wedding in 1990. Granted that the wedding industry didn’t exist yet, the beautiful Jerry Hall, to this day, laments the fact that there was no professional photographer present to document her wedding in Ubud.

Getting Wed in BaliWould the Jagger-Hall marriage fare better had the wedding registry in Bali been properly taken care of?


In Focus

The problem could have been well prevented had good ol’ Mick took the time to hire a proper organizer instead of relying on his local friends to make the necessary arrangement. A good wedding organizer would match ideas with available resources and make suggestions for better execution. And resources is never in short supply in Bali. Virtually anything that is required in a wedding ceremony of any size and shape can be found in Bali at a considerably low cost.

“Some clients were surprised that everything they need to have their dream wedding is available here for much lower price.” said Sinly Anfeny from Bali Wedding Paradise. From flowers, to wedding cake, to musical performance, and even birds (some people could go overboard with symbols) to be released at the end of the blessing—you name it.

But, besides all of the amenities, the most important detail that must not be overlooked is the legal matter. Couples must be properly registered by state official before their marriage is sanctioned by the Indonesian law. And even this is not a difficult as it sounds because wedding organizers will work closely with pertinent government office, and foreign representatives, to ensure legal requirements are satisfied. Because no matter how perfect the wedding ceremony turns out to be failure to do so will produce unwanted consequences. Just ask Jerry Hall.

In 1999, upon discovering that Mick Jagger had just sired a son with a Brazilian model, Luciana Morad, she filed for divorce. To her amazement, the British court—after submission of important statement from Jagger—denied her appeal because the wedding she had in Ubud was never been legally sanctioned under the Indonesian law. As far as the law concerns, the wedding had never took place despite of Hall’s insistence that ‘it had everything that resembled a proper ceremony’. She was referring to the slitting of a black chicken’s throat by a Hindu priest invited by Mick and his friends to provide the blessing.

“Some clients were surprised that everything they need to have their dream wedding is available here for much lower price.”

Tom Talucci

Are you always being the person you are now?I was in furniture business before I went on to create Desa Seni with my friend.

I was born in Mexico, grew up in Brazil, and moved to the United States later on. So, I’m used to life in developing countries. I have been to many places in Indonesia and I realized we need to understand other cultures.

But, 10 years ago, I would’ve laughed if somebody asked me about opening a resort.

Is that so? 10 years ago, were you as eco-conscious as you are now? Well, it was a different situation when I first came

Tom Talucci, has been a businessman, designer, philanthropist, advocate of eco-friendly lifestyle, and writer (he helps in the writing and editing of Kula, the Desa Seni publication) during the 18 years of his life in Bali. He may look content now as co-owner of Desa Seni Village Resort in Cangu. But after a convivial chat with him at his office –a traditional two-storey wooden house—we realized that Tom Talucci isn’t going to stop churning more ideas to promote his cause.


Up Close

“His deep concern about culture, environment, and wellness, compels Tom Talucci to take part in promoting the welfare of his adopted community. He uses Desa Seni as a channel, through which others in his surrounding could benefit.”

Obviously, besides the rustic traditional Balinese feel around here, Desa Seni is also about wellness.What we are trying to do at Desa Seni is to encourage everyone to be more attuned to our spirituality. Not the otherworldly spirituality that practiced elsewhere. Not like that at all.

Meanwhile, some people only pay attention to the body, not the mind. But we also need to expand our mind. Being spiritual by achieving balanced and healthy lifestyle through work out and diet. You see, we grow our own organic food here which is all that you can have in our restaurant. We have

to Bali. Problems within the environment weren’t as they are now. There were issues but nobody talked about being eco-friendly. But a lot has changed around here and we must deal with them by taking care of the environment

Overall, the Indonesian government don’t look for eco-friendly program from outside. So we need more solutions for what’s been going on in our environment and it begins with awareness.

Is this a growing trend in the tourism industry?Obviously tourism is big business in Bali. But people who come to Bali want to see Bali. Some of the places around here aren’t giving them the real Bali. We need to do something authentic. That’s what you get at Desa Seni. It’s a business that has vision and philosophy.

yoga classes for our guests, the community, and residents from around the area. Everybody can come and train at Desa Seni. It’s about body, mind and spirit.

What is your inspiration for Desa Seni?I’ve been here long enough that I want to preserve the culture and the environment. We are part of the community and work to support local economy in many ways. The most important thing is to work together. I believe, there are always ways to do more if you have the right intention. Some people say that I’m crazy with all these ideas that I have.


Giving Up the Golden Goose

It’s hard not to be buoyed by recent performance of Bali’s tourism industry. But some people are getting ready to move to a less greener pasture.

Feature Story

In an annual economic forecast at the start of 2011, a prominent Bali newspaper made a prediction that the island’s economic growth will suffer –at least slightly—from the downturn trajectory of the world economy. As the year went on, some of what were in the prediction came true. Number of visitors from European countries fell short of expectation, the US market for Bali’s export shrunk. And when Japan, one of the top markets for tourism and export, was ravaged by devastating natural disaster in March last year, Bali’s economy took a hit.

But the island paradise bounced back –quickly than most said it would. By August 2011, 1.3 million visitors have landed on Bali –half way through the 2.6 million visits projected for the year. The number raised hopes for yet again another record finish. Sure enough, at the end of 2011, Bali’s economic performance registered a growth of 6.54% --higher than the estimate of 6.3% made by experts 12 months earlier. Most of it was contributed by the high flying tourism industry which saw 2.57 million tourist arrivals between January and November 2011.

Once again the tourism industry came through for Bali, like it did for few years in a row since the two bombings in 2002 and 2005. The rest of the economic sectors seemed to be content to do what they are expected to do, which is to support Bali’s tourism industry. But how long can the industry keep doing the way it does now?

According, to Rai Bangsawan, an agribusiness entrepreneur, who saw first hand how fragile the tourism industry is when it took a massive hit in 2002, not that long. When a blast that killed


Feature Story

hundreds of people right at the center of Kuta, the whole industry went rock bottom over night. Nobody came to Bali and the situation created massive unemployment in south Bali. Jobless ex-tourism workers went back home to the country to seek refuge with their families and kin. To an extent, their home coming dragged the families and villages’ economy down with them. Luckily the wheel started turning again. South Bali returned to its previous glory—better and seemingly stronger.

Yet, despite all the achievement it has made, the tourism money has never spread far from south Bali. Professor Wayan Ramantha, a member of the Bali Chamber of Commerce Consultative Council, said that only 26% of the population work in the tourism industry. While a significant 50% of Bali’s workforce are still toiling away in the agriculture sector, the original livelihood of the majority of Balinese people.

As prime sector in the economy, in 2011, agriculture was the least interesting target for investment of all tree economic sectors in Bali. Most of the money spent in 2011 went to construction business, trade, communication, investment, property, and of course, hotel and restaurant. Even chemical and pharmaceutical industries, two of the businesses that constitute the second of the three economic sectors were able to attract more investors last year.

What this means is there are more people out there who don’t get too excited about the recent much-applauded tourism industry’s performance than those who do. On the much more positive note, there are many opportunities to be grabbed on the other side of Mount Agung. With investment come mostly to the south Bali region, the rest of this beautiful and fertile land is still left undeveloped.

But we aren’t talking about investing loads of capital on new luxurious private villas in Jembrana. According to Professor Ramantha, agribusiness is the way to go in the future. This will mesh the prime and the third economic sectors nicely as agribusiness has always been closely connected to tourism industry. One of the more obvious instances is agro-tourism. More and more coffee plantation outside of Badung regency are opening their doors to tourists who would like to come and witness the production process of the world almost mythical, most expensive coffee, Civet coffee (kopi Luwak).

With investment come mostly to the south Bali region, the rest of this beautiful and fertile land is still left undeveloped.

Feature Story

Agriculture has also been a silent yet faithful supporter of tourism industry for a long time by providing farming supplies for hotels and the culinary business. At the end of 2011, the Bali Chamber of Commerce urged the provincial government to require hotels and restaurants to use local agricultural products. The recommendation will benefit tourism businesses by providing them with cheaper resources and on the ensure agriculture entrepreneur a solid access to the lucrative tourism market on the opposite end.

Another possibility to be developed—or more precise, nurtured-- is the creative industry. Bali’s divine creativity in many areas have been the backbone of its economy since the very beginning. It grew along side --and an integral part of—the tourism industry. However, there are more that can be done in this area.

Creative industry—as it’s widely known—has many sides to it. It comes in the creation of traditional handicraft, or furniture, or culinary, and the most prominent these days, garment.

Novi Widiastuti, a self-made business owner has been working with international clients since she started her garment manufacturing business just a few short years ago. Like most of young Balinese, she was aspired to have a career in tourism industry. But, as she began to built her network, orders for garment made in Bali came. Balinese people have it in them to create products

of high quality, she said. With many of the material available within the island—or in the neighboring Java—all that her clients need to do is ask for certain specification and they will get them.

Novi Widiastuti represents a new generation of creative Balinese workers who come to adopt and apply international quality standard on their products. Consequently, garment, along with furniture and handicraft from Bali were enjoying themselves last year. Creative products constituted 80% of Bali’s export in 2011, or US$ 416 million.

Many of those involved in today’s Bali creative economy may have started out as regular employees in any of hundreds of hotels and restaurants through out the island resort. But, as they drop everything when opportunity comes knocking, they never look back. While nothing will come close to tourism in upholding Bali’s economy for some years to come, the truth is, there’s life outside of it.

At the end of 2011, the Bali Chamber of Commerce urged the provincial government to require hotels and restaurants to use local

agricultural products.

Romantic Destinations

in Bali

10Squeezed between Kuta area and the Jimbaran hill. A quieter spot than the former, yet more established than most beaches along in the latter. The are many spots along the coastline to have from up-scale romantic dinner to quiet walk with the loved one.

Probably the most well-known of all on the list. Tanah Lot in Tabanan regency may not look like an obvious choice now that its popularity lures army of tourists everyday. But there are times when Tanah Lot is more subdued and the magic emanating from that temple off the coastline returns. Just don’t come near temple, as legend says, it brings bad luck to couples.

There are many beautiful beaches to enjoy the famous west Bali sunset but, for a quiet romantic sunset from atop of cliff, we have to go with this one. Padang Padang beach is famous among surfers for its wave and increasingly popular with regular tourists. But, there’s a little less known spot to the west with longer stretch of coastline unoccupied by prominent commercial establishment.

Some of us can’t help but feeling a bit romantic in February—and rightly so. The

Valentine’s Day thingy aside, there are numerous spots around the island that can help put you in the mood. Some of these (all of them, actually) are regularly mentioned on other lists for their different attribute. Their admission on this one is to highlight

their certain quality that could bring special moment for couples.


While Sanur is not known for its sunset, the old Bali charm that lured the first flight of tourist in the last century is still there. There are many places to enjoy sunrise, preferably while still cuddling with your loved one.

04 Sanur

05 Campuhan Ridge

Campuhan ridge in Ubud offers a more traditional surrounding that often dubbed as the real Bali. It’s famous for its romantic past when early renown visiting artists got inspired to produce their masterpieces by the beauty of the place. You can opt to walk along the Campuhan river on a cool afternoon or just sit over a cup of coffee at a terrace restaurant nearby.

06 Amed

It’s a haven for divers but the area comprises number of fishing villages also have plenty in store for visitors to the eastern coast of Bali. It’s a rather different landscape than other more popular part of Bali where farming culture is prevalent. Night time is significantly darker and more peaceful here. Overall, it’s much more laid back than south Bali coast with beautiful scenery of the ocean. If you find vast diversity of marine life romantic then Amed is for you.

Pemuteran Beach

Bedugul Botanical Garden

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace

Taman Mumbul, Sangeh

A tropical forest in Tabanan, also known as Eka Karya Botanical Garden. With that huge territory of rain forest, lakes, temples and at least 320 types of orchids you can always get sentimental in any part of the 154.5 ha conservation area. The garden house a guest house in a shape of traditional Balinese structure where you can have a romantic afternoon in a cool mountain atmosphere.

A fine black beach in north Bali near Lovina beach, Singaraja. It’s a popular destination for diving and snorkeling around a big coral reef conservation project, located just off the coast. The quiet and relaxing environment will help couple to focus on pampering each other.

There’s something about Balinese rice field that appeal to the senses. Jatiluwih rice field in Tabanan is no ordinary rice field that UNESCO has declared it to be a world heritage. The view of lush green hills in the background, a stroke of summer breeze at 700 meters above sea level will make even your lunchtime at any of the stops in the vicinity a romantic one.

There are other places called Mumbul in Bali. But, if you want to have a romantic dip in a natural spring amidst a dense setting go to the one in Sangeh. It only takes around an hour drive from Denpasar to the north.

Bali Kuna Heritage SocietyBali is buoyed by the well-performing tourism industry

Heart of Bali

This land has no shortage of culture, it seems. This comes as no surprise as Bali’s tourism industry relies on culture from the get go. Without culture, there’s no Bali as we know it today. But to those who are ready to pad their selves in the back, Bali Kuna Heritage Society solemnly reminds us that there’s more to culture than dances and handicraft. And just because everyone in the island lives by culture doesn’t mean it won’t go away.

There are numerous proof that our prevalent understanding about culture lets us down. Aged building complex in Singaraja, which once was

used by the colonial government during the occupation time is being converted into something ‘useful’. Others, less significant estate, are left to decay as a result of lack of maintenance fund, or simply abandoned due to naiveté.

So, what is this culture which Bali is built on? Bali Kuna Heritage Society is set up to respond

to this question in every sense. The organization was formed on December 18, 2000, out of concern over the worrying state of many cultural heritage through out the island. The Society targets unawareness on the part of general population of what they inherit from previous generation.

the mag | issue 46 33WWW.NEWINBALI.COM/ASTANA-HOTEL-MANAGEMENT


Heart of Bali

Therefore, Bali Kuna Heritage Society, puts great emphasis on educating the people about Balinese cultural heritage before everyone can move in unison to conserve it.

The society starts by bringing up simple subjects such as local culinary, old landmark, and children’s games to popular consciousness. They try to show that the likes of traditional children’s game –forgotten among many communities—are of equal importance with more popular forms of tradition that are actively practiced by modern Balinese. This isn’t a small task as far as it goes.

Currently, Bali Kuna Heritage Society is working to revive traditional Balinese children’s games. Before any of them can be played again by today’s youngsters, traditional games in Bali must be catalogued and reconstructed as some of them may have been forgotten for too long. There are around 250 traditional Balinese children’s games that exist at any point in time in Bali. Today, folk game expert Made Taro, who works closely with the Society on this project, has succeeded in cataloging only half of them. It’s a start nevertheless.

Bali Kuna Heritage SocietyPuri Chandra Asri C-95Biaung, Ketewel, DenpasarPhone/ Fax: +62 361 467 811Web: www.balikuna.orgEmail: [email protected]

With small amount of material at their disposal, Bali Kuna Heritage Society began training elementary school teachers in Denpasar on the basics of those games. At the end of last year, followed-up program was organized to put the knowledge in practice in the form of traditional children’s games Olympic with encouraging result.

It was but a small step in the conservation of traditional children’s games, as far as everyone concerns. The effort may even be more trivial considering the task to conserve cultural heritage in general. But Bali Kuna Heritage will move on with more programs to bring awareness and appreciation for the whole extent of Balinese culture.

“Bali Kuna Heritage Society targets unawareness on the part of general population of what they inherit from

previous generation.”

The Finer Side of Comfort The village of Batu Belig, where Danoya Villa is located, may

not emanate glaring charisma as does the scintillating Peti Tenget in Seminyak. Yet the serene environment is what at-tracts more people who crave for the old-time Bali charm.

Danoya Villa


Venues

I n just a few months last year, Batu Belig was transformed into a destination that promises different treat for visitors. Instead of rows

of high-end boutiques, restaurants, and shops, the laid-back neighborhood boasts a rural Bali atmosphere –noticeably fading around the greater Kuta area. I was among the increasing number of guests to the area who like to spend time at the many hangouts along the main road that leads to the famous west Bali coast.

Having made numerous visits to the neighborhood, I made it my mission to uncover more of what Batu Belig has to offer. That’s when I decided to spend a time at Villa Danoya, which thrives amidst such set up, with seemingly

everything that one would look for from a relaxing tropical resort. After a complete makeover and full maintenance that took place just last year, Danoya villa grows along the transformation of Batu Belig and becomes a welcome addition to the area.

Upon entering the villa I was immediately overwhelmed by the dramatic change from the simple nature of the neighborhood. Yet, Danoya Villa was far from over complicating matters. It goes straight to the point with its design to serve the sole purpose of providing the ultimate modern comfort for guests. The whole arrangement gives out a clean modern feeling that becomes a recurring theme of Danoya Villa.

Another pleasant feature hit me right after I completed the check-in procedure. Walking along a pass --lined with neat greeneries on both side, I couldn’t help but being taken by the ample space around me, which in turn, makes me feel directly connected to nature. I was amazed by how liberated I felt within such generous spatial arrangement.

I came straight into an incredibly spacious open living room with a garden and pool area on the far end. Even with a kitchen that has everything

“Lights came on from the local residential nearby, and a tranquil quietness reigned around me.”

you need to prepare a feast on one side, the whole downstairs area still leaves enough room for 4 individuals to relax without getting in each other’s way. The amiable staff who escorted me from the front office must have thought I was being silly when I darted around the room with a big smile on my face. I was greatly pleased when I saw the appliances to accompany my stay there. Couldn’t wait to see what’s in store upstairs.

The second floor didn’t disappoint. There were two fully equipped bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, that complement the rest of the villa. They were furnished with top notch amenities to guarantee maximum comfort. The real treat, however, arrived a couple of hours later.

I came to appreciate every single details in the villa better when I woke up refreshed the next morning. I know, when I travel, I could get by with less than what I found in Danoya villa. But to actually have a top quality sheet to sleep on, for instance, made me realize that the finer things in life worth every effort to find them. Yet, I’d never have thought I’d find them in a simple and laid back neighborhood like Batu Belig, if it wasn’t for Danoya Villa.

Bali Deli

Neighborhood Institution, World-Class VarietySeminyak’s grocery and dining establishment grows in stature by consistently delivering the basics.

Last month I discovered an amiable part of Seminyak that painted a completely different picture of the hip destination.

It’s hard to argue that the lively Seminyak is a bundle of excitement like nothing else in Kuta. Shops, restaurants, and bars, vying for visitors with their respective variety, making it easy to think that the 3-km2 area is all fun and game. But the once sleepy farmer village, is also a growing multi-culture residential area with needs to be met. That was the premise on which a neighborhood supermarket and eatery called Bali Deli was established back in 2003.

Being fairly new in Seminyak, I came to know about Bali Deli from scores of people who talked about it on several occasions. Some of them are long-time residents who regularly go grocery shopping there. Others would get their fix of morning coffee at Bali Deli’s Le Spot every now and again. While more than a few, seek refuge in the back-yard garden area on occasions with only comfort food and a good read to keep them company. Being a place with everything for the neighborhood residents, I have to admit, is a good angle. Yet Bali Deli doesn’t stop there.

My first visit to Bali Deli happened at lunch time, just a few days into the new year. A solemn festivity was still in the air as a friend and I went


Selamat Makan

straight to the somber open-air section in the back. Comfortably settled and hungry, we were quickly taken by seasonal choices of Turkey dishes on the menu which only cost a fraction of what we’d probably get for at similar joint in the area. The reasonable price, however, would amount to nothing if the meal itself fails to deliver.

As I was told later, the affordable menu at Bali Deli restaurant wasn’t a cheap shot at luring more customer. The restaurant actually has the advantage of wide range of world-class consumables sold at its super market to work with. Hence, patrons can choose from an array of European, Japanese, Indonesian, and Balinese delicacies that are prepared using the best imported ingredients, many of which have made Bali Deli super market a favorite grocery store among the Seminyak’s expatriate community.

Now, almost a decade after it opened its doors in Jalan Kunti, just off the north end of Sunset Road, Bali Deli has evolved along its growing customer base. Nevertheless the original patrons still frequent the place to get more than just their groceries. For those who was there in the beginning the place has become nothing short of a sanctuary where they would be treated as old acquaintances.

The place also gains new regulars by providing the same service to first-time guests. I, for one, was won after a satisfying lunch of Roast Turkey served with cranberry sauce and mixed vegetables. I gazed to my friend who sat quietly next to me. Besides his occasional mmmhh and aaahhh during meal, , I know that the Turkey Ocobuco with Tagatele pasta and flambe pesto sauce has left quite an impression on him from a big smile on his face.

Local authorities are trying to free the hostage, although Somali pirates accuse Michael Scott Moore of spying the activities of illegal group in the Mudug region.

The ransom is being discussed and there are two more hostages from the crew of the FV Aride kept imprisoned. Recently, Somalia has made the news for the consecutive attacks of pirates on foreigners. [Source: Yeah, I Love It]


BelanganBelangan is known for its longs peeling walls. Belangan handles big swells and can offer good barrels on the right direction.

Sri LankaIn the northern part of Nusa Dua lays Sri Lanka, a bowly right which breaks into a deep water channel. This break is better on a bigger swell but is shifty.

Sanur ReefSanur Reef is a right and considered another world class wave. The wave breaks better on a mid to high tide and is usually better in the early morning or in the rainy season (November–April).

Padang GalakPadang Galak is a reliable rivermouth beach break north of Sanur. The break is quite popular, but only works under certain conditions.

KeramasKeramas has a nice barrel after take-off which turns into a wally lip. This break is very popular with locals and if you don't want to deal with them in the water it is nice to watch them surfing from the warung right in front of the break.

Nyang NyangNyang Nyang beach is a ‘secret’ spot, which is less crowded due to its uneasy access. This beach is like a secret paradise for every surfer.

Kuta BeachThe warm water and sandy bottom make Kuta beach one of the best places in the world to learn to surf. Also for advanced surfers this beach is very popular.

Bali Surfspots

MedewiMedewi is a fun wave for all surfers. It can be a bit fat, but has its day. Come early to avoid onshore winds. This spot handles bigger swells also.

BalianBalian is a swell magnet and a quiet spot in North Bali. This break is getting more crowded as more accommodation is built daily. Its playful lefts and rights are great for beginners and advanced surfers alike.

Canggu & PerenanCanggu always gets more swell than Kuta beach. It consists of a few different breaks; The right breaks better on a mid to high tide and is a great performance wave. The sandbank is better on a lower tide and is in front of the restaurants, it's fun to watch the surfers hit the lip whilst enjoying the delicious food.

Kuta ReefKuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is quite consistent. There are a few breaks here: Airports rights and left, Middles and Kuta reef. May–October (dry season) is the best time of the year for waves here.

Nusa DuaTo get to this reef you have to drive into the hotel area itself and weave your way south. There is no channel which caught inside on a big swell quite annoying. There are a couple of other good waves in this area so it pays to do a bit of exploring.

DreamlandDreamland was famous because it was a 'dreamy' spot. The wave is still there, a nice peak and a fun beach break.

BinginBingin is a consistent, mechanical barrel machine. It's a short wave with a very small take off spot so if hassling is not your thing, it will be quite hard to get waves here. ImpossiblesImpossibles gets fun on a big swell. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang.You can paddle at Impossibles and get some long walls.

Padang PadangPadang Padang only starts to work when a big swell is running. It offers an amazing barrel but breaks in front of trocks, so experts only!

UluwatuThere are 4 different sections: Temple is a hollow wave, works from mid to high tide. The Peak can offer a nice barrel and is right in line with the cave. Racetrack is the low tide section. It is fast and gets seriously shallow. Outside Corner is the world-class wave which won't even start breaking unless the swell is at least in the 8 foot range.

PadangbaiPadangbai has the flat bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some wally waves. This break needs a bit of swell.

Green BallGreen Ball is a left and a right, situated at the bottom of a steep cliff. After you have surfed for a couple of hours the return trip is quiet challenging.

Bali is a beautiful island to visit and like many other tourist destinations, being such a popular spot also has its disadvantages. One of the problems we face has to do with the effects on the environment caused by the sheer popularity of this island. We at The Mag hope that you will take a few minutes to read these helpful tips and use them to better preserve the environment. Please, help us keep Bali beautiful.

1. Please do not litterIf no rubbish bin is nearby, just keep your litter in your bag or pocket until you come across one, and then throw it in the next bin you see.2. If you see rubbish, please pick it upYou may even exercise that bit of extra care by picking up litter dropped by less careful people and

disposing of it correctly. A small gesture with great positive effect on others and on the environment. 3. Re-use or refuse plastic bagsMost shops will want to put your purchased goods in plastic bags. Please refuse the plastic bag if you can. Should the shopkeeper look baffled, just explain your intention to “keep Bali beautiful”.4. Walk moreThere are many good things to be said about walking. You get some exercise, you help keep the air clean and you see so much more than from a scooter or taxi. Who knows, you may accidentally stumble onto a small store or unseen bars which you may have missed!5. Travel the eco wayWhat better way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature in Bali than to take an eco-tourism tour. Many companies provide trips into the untouched wilderness of Bali, or to unspoiled coral reefs.

Go Green in Bali

Bargaining in Bali Sudoku

6. Lights out!Leaving your air conditioning on is a huge waste of valuable electrical energy. It’s a good idea to turn off the AC and lights before going out.7. Have dinner at a restaurantIt can be tempting to buy take-away food to enjoy in the comfort of “home”, but the many empty food wrappers add up to the masses of trash that have to be dealt with every day.8. Support local industriesThe transportation of imported goods uses up much of the worlds fossil fuel resources, compared to using products already locally available. By supporting local industries we can also improve the economy of the Bali community.9. Save waterThe availability of clean water in Bali is gradually diminishing due to overuse. We can all do small things such as taking shorter showers and turning off the taps while brushing our teeth.

Although many stores in Bali now have “fixed” prices, there is still merit in trying to get a good deal, particularly if you are buying several items. If you are shopping at local markets or in tourist shops, you should definitely try out your bargaining skills! If you do, here are some helpful hints:

1. It is better to shop at a place that has a bit of everything: t-shirts, shorts, handicrafts, etc. One-stop-shopping means you may buy several items, making it easier for you to get a bigger discount.2. Try not to be visibly “in love” with a particular item; the vendors can ‘smell’ your desire. This will push up your price.

3. Since there are often rows of shops offering more or less the same merchandise, walk from one shop to the next if a deal cannot be reached. But walk slowly. If you have offered a reasonable price, at which the vendor can still make some profit, the vendor will call you back to his/ her shop as you walk away.4. Tell the vendor that if he/ she gives you a good price, then you will tell your other friends to shop from them as well.5. Know the market prices, or, pretend that you do. By saying “I’ve seen this product a lot cheaper” will probably lead to a lower price.6. Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture here and it should be a fun activity.

Bahasa Indonesia is the language spoken through the whole Indonesia. The Balinese speaks Bali language with each other, yet you will be fine with these words and short phrases.

Kuta/ Tuban/ Legian

Kuta

Kuta is dedicated to those seeking fun and sun in affordable ways. The area consists of busy streets lined with lively bars and restaurants, basic accommodation and stalls selling multitudes of items. Although often considered the ‘ugliest’ area of the island due to its mixed-bag tourism combined with rampant commercialism, Kuta still manages to retain a slice of Balinese charm. The smell of incense wafts down the crowded alleys and offerings of brightly colored flower petals are laid out each morning to appease the gods.

Legian

Legian is packed with venues that turn this previously sleepy-hollow area into a spot that knows no rest with almost non-stop activity and crowds. tAn increasing number of amusement centers such as nightclubs, restaurants and shops are now making Legian a vibrant area that never sleeps.

Tuban

Although part of Kuta, Tuban doesn’t really share the loud noises and crowds of Kuta’s main party scenes. The many villas and fine restaurants in this area are not really seen from the main road as they mostly reside beachside.

Seminyak/ Petitenget/ Canggu

Seminyak

Owing to its high density of upscale shopping, combined with the clusters of fine-dining establishments, Seminyak has rapidly become one of the most well-known tourist areas in Bali. In addition to a few commercial strips with popular and lively restaurants, bars and good crafts, furniture, and antique shops, there are a few notable establishments that have earned numerous titles as the best venue or party spot in Bali in various magazines. Land and accommodation prices are amongst the highest in Bali and plenty of luxury spas and hotels abound.

Petitenget & Canggu

Petitenget is where the chic ambiance of Seminyak continues. The emergence of a number of new stylish venues in Petitenget, including some of Bali’s best restaurants, indicate that this area now serves as the extended fashionable playground of south Bali. Canggu, another attractive are, still features widely spread ricefields, in spite of its close proximity to Seminyak and Petitenget. A number of luxurious villas (and of course the luxurious Canggu Club) can be found here.

Sanur

One of the most pleasant aspects of Sanur is its large expanse of beachfront. A footpath that covers about five kilometers allows visitors to casually stroll and explore, stopping when they feel like it for a drink or snack at one of the many beach side restaurants. A large reef shelters Sanur’s white-sand beach, resulting in a low-key surf that is ideal for beginner surfers and families with small children. Well-stocked bars and decently priced food and drinks have turned this area into a popular nighttime destination as well.

Jimbaran

Although Jimbaran now houses some of the finest luxury hotels in the world, its original colour as a fishing village still remains. Unlike many other coastal areas in Bali that have fully converted from fishing villages into tourist spots crowded with umbrellas, hawkers and surfboards, Jimbaran exploits its natural potential as a fishing village with the establishment of row upon row of seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch of fresh fish and crustaceans. Jimbaran is now known to be a haven of the finest seafood (both raw and processed) in Bali.

Nusa Dua

Some of the most luxurious hotels in the world find their Bali home in Nusa Dua. Yet, unknown to even some of its loyal visitors, Nusa Dua actually offers more than just ranks of five-star hotels and up-market restaurants and shops. For instance, the many visitors staying at these fine hotels are largely unaware of a beautiful white-sand beach located just five minutes away on the southern edge of the peninsula, Geger beach. Immediately north of the Nusa Dua enclave is the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa that sports less exclusive hotels and Benoa village. As it is a mixed culture area, visitors can see a mosque and Chinese and Hindu temples in close proximity.

As the home of Bali’s legendary artists, Ubud is all about culture, inspiration, meditation, nature and comfort. The area’s scenic rice fields, villages, arts and crafts communities, palaces and rivers are probably some of the top reasons that bring people to Bali. For more than a century, Ubud has been the island’s preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. Accommodation options range from cheap homestays and hotels in the town’s center to the jet set retreats that sit high up on the edge of green valleys. Plenty of interesting things can be found in the main streets, but most of the magic of Ubud is hidden away on the backstreets, backwaters and courtyards.

Nusa LembonganNusa Lembongan is one of Bali’s three small offshore islands (the other two are Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan) with tourist infrastructure; thus making it a popular destination for visitors to Bali. Lembongan is the perfect destination to experience the abundance of marine life, whether you are diving or snorkeling. Lembongan’s white-sand beaches and clear water are just perfect for visiting sun worshippers. Unlike most beaches in Bali, there are no hawkers in Nusa

Lembongan, with the sole exception of the boat guys who wander along the beach in the morning and ask you if you would like to join their snorkeling or fishing trips.

Getting to or from Nusa Lembongan is easy due to the numerous options. From Sanur, visitors are provided with fast boat service as well as the traditional jukung boats (wooden boats). Alternatively, travelers can depart from the Gili islands, or even charter their own helicopter.

The Gilis

Lombok’s three sister islands, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, are currently amongst the top alternative destinations for tourists visiting Bali. The three are tiny coral-fringed islands blessed with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water swarming with an array of coral fish. Known as budget stopovers in the old days, the Gilis with their rapidly increasing popularity now have diversified accommodation options ranging from luxury villas to rustic yet chic bungalows. Oceanfront restaurants and bars are also scattered around. Water activities, of course, are some of the highlights on the must-do list during a stay in these islands.

Each Gili has its own character and charm; Trawangan is the biggest and most developed, with a diverse day and night life and the legendary “island parties” three times per week, Meno is very small and mellow (perfect for honeymooners) and Air’s ambiance falls somewhere between the two. The three islands, very fortunately, are pleasantly free from air pollution due to the absence of motorized land vehicles. The only means of transportation available are traditional cidomos (horse-drawn carts), horses and bicycles.

1. Be a good role modelSet a good example and show people that your interactions with the environments can make a difference.

2. Do not throw anything in the toiletNon-organic wastes thrown into the toilet can cause grey water to flow into the land and sea. This will increase pollution and kill the fragile underwater eco-system.

3. Refill your water bottleContribute to the waste management and help recycle plastic by reusing your water bottle. It will also save your money and is an easy way to be green.

4. Save waterTurn the water off when you are not using it. The Gilis are small islands with very limited supply of fresh water; so please be conservative.

5. Switch off the AC, fan and lights when you leave your roomElectricity comes from petrol generators on the Gili islands. Do not waste the energy as the island can barely cope already.

6. Throw rubbish in the bins providedEncourage a responsible behavior by walking a few extra steps to collect the rubbish and put it in a bin.

10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEING A RESPONSIBLE TOURIST7. Do not collect seashells from the sea or beachSeashells are living animals and taking them out of their natural habitat will kill them. Hermit crabs will also look for new and bigger seashells as they grow up; thus collecting seashells will leave hermit crabs homeless.

8. Do not touch or walk on the reefCorals are very fragile organisms and it takes tens of years for them to grow. Please respect their space and observe from a distance.

9. Report environmental disturbance and destructionTouching aquatic life, walking on reefs, boat anchoring and discarding plastic are not eco-appreciative behaviors. Please respect and look after the environment.

10. Get involved in local environmental activities and issuesNo matter how small, your contribution can have a great impact on the corner of the planet in which you live or spend holidays. There are plenty of opportunities to show your support for a clean environment, including practicing a good eco role model behavior, participating in beach cleanups, educating the local people about rubbish and plastic and supporting ecological activities.

The Gilis Review

Gili Air

G ili Air is the nearest Gili to Lombok. It is also the most populated and you will

find more trees there than the other Gili’s. The local inhabitants are: Sasak, Mandar, Bugis and Makassar. You can find their unique culture that is different from Lombok and wonderful beaches. Many of the older generation still make their living as boatmen, fisherman and farming coconuts.

There are only a few number of luxury upmarket hotels (rooms with air conditioning, swimming pool, TV etc) on Gili Air. Most of places to stay are located in south, west and east side of the island. The island remains quiet and relaxing making it popular with honeymoon couples and travelers seeking a quiet retreat.

Most accommodations are locally owned and managed, while a few of the upmarket hotels own and managed by foreign investors. You can go from

one island to another by joining the gili island’s hoping boat (depart twice a day). It has population of about 1,000. The island offers excellent snorkeling and scuba diving off its east coast, and turtles can be seen along the coral reef. People here are more friendly than on Gili Trawangan.

ActivitiesSnorkeling and diving are the highlight of the activities. Snorkeling area are located in the south east (opposite-facing the Lombok Golf Kosaido) and along to the north east).

You can just jump into the water to see the colorful fishes and coral reef. In the western part of Gili Air when the moon is high (low tide), you can’t swim off the beach. You need to walk to the south or east side.

There are few quality scuba diving operations on all the islands.

There are now 3 PADI Dive Centres - Manta dive (offers SSI training as well), Blue Marlin and Dream Divers. Also offers great dive site, Hahn’s Reef, where strange critters and muck diving are the norm, it is also a superb training site for beginners.

The other great spot for diving and snorkeling is Gili Air Wall where you can see anything from turtles to pygmy sea horses, quite amazing

To get around the isle, the only means of transport are Cidomos, horse drawn carriages. Bicycle rentals are available too. Expect higher prices for most things there since all food and goods must be brought over from the mainland.
