‘Om Swastiastu...’

Last month’s ‘fashion weeks’ fl ooded cities such as New York, London and Milan with

editors, buyers, bloggers and fashion enthusiasts looking forward to a sneak peek of the

silhouettes and hues of the upcoming season. Bali also had its own fashion happenings,

including the Bali Fashion Parade (BFP), an annual event where our very own magazine

shines a spotlight on a handful of talented Bali-based designers during a glorious night

of catwalk presentations.

BFP 2014 was held at the Hard Rock Café Bali and you can fl ip to FOTO FOLIO to

see some of the hip and current pieces that were presented that night. If you are curious

about the designers, turn to PROFILE & PORTRAIT to read about the fi ve brands that

participated this year.

Speaking of hip and current, in this edition we have an article on one of the coolest

yoga instructors around – the radiant Tara Stiles. We caught up with the founder of

Strala Yoga (New York) during her recent stay at the W Bali, where she held a series of

outdoor yoga classes as part of her collaboration with W Hotels worldwide.

This edition also includes a compilation on fashionable rooftops that are perfect to

‘see and be seen’ as well as other articles we hope you enjoy fl ipping through! Have a

fabulous October and enjoy the warmth of Balinese hospitality as well as the Bali sun.

‘Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om…’

IN THE ISLAND OF THE GODS, PARASOLS NOT ONLY PROTECT

PEOPLE FROM FALLING RAINDROPS BUT HOLD A VERY IMPORTANT

CEREMONIAL FUNCTION AS WELL.

Balinese Parasols

There was a time in Bali

when parasols were

luxury items used only

in ceremonies and in

palaces. Commoners

made use of leaves (usually banana

or wide taro leaves) for shade and to

protect themselves from downpours.

In Bali, umbrellas or parasols

are referred to as tedung, derived

from the word tedun meaning ‘to

descend.’ This is due to the fact that

parasols are used as ceremonial

equipment, to greet gods and

deifi ed ancestors and invite them to

‘descend to Earth.’

Ceremonies in Bali are carried

out vivaciously, as they are

occasions to express gratitude and

to ‘offer back’ what the heavens

have bestowed upon humans. It is

no wonder that various offerings are

presented, people come dressed

in their tidiest, and shrines are

beautifully decorated with ornate

penjor poles and colorful pajeng

parasols.

There are at least fi ve colors

for ceremonial parasols, namely

red, white, black, yellow and a

combination of black and white. Red

parasols personify the god Brahma

and usually take post in southern

locations. Brahma is the creator and

symbolized by fi re – one of the most

important gods in the Balinese Hindu

pantheon.

Vishnu acts as the caretaker of

all things related to prosperity, so

fertility and welfare are associated

with him. His consort is Dewi Sri,

who is the goddess of rice and

fertility. Vishnu is symbolized by

water and the color designated to

him is black. Black parasols are

always placed in northern locations.

Yellow parasols are placed in the

west in honor of Mahadewa, while

white parasols are placed in the east

for the god Shiva, who is believed

be the demolisher. The remaining

color is the checkered pattern of

black and white.

The combination of black and

white symbolizes harmony and

balance. The Balinese believe

that the existence of one thing

will be equalized by an opposing

factor. Thus butha kala, or the

personifi cation of negative forces,

are venerated and asked to not

interfere with human activities. Black

and white parasols are usually

placed in the northwest in honor

of nature. In households they are

usually placed outside the house

or used to shade gargoyles and

guardian statues.

MODERN USAGENowadays, Balinese parasols not

only dominate temples but can also

be found adorning hotels, villas and

restaurants. There are many varieties

in vibrant colors and impressive

motifs.

The development of tourism

and the rapidly growing crafts

industry has led the parasol to now

have more diversifi ed functions.

Aside from ceremonies, shade and

protection from bad weather, they

are also now used as decorative

accents for interiors.

This trend has been good for

the parasol craftsmen in Bali such

as those in the villages of Mengwi

(Badung regency) and Kayubihi

(Bangli regency). The crafts are

produced in cottage industries and

then sold at traditional markets, art

markets and even the international

market. Some craftsmen in Badung

ship up to a thousand parasols to

Europe each month.

Decorative parasols are sold for

Rp. 40,000 to Rp. 200,000 per

piece, depending on the size and

materials used. The parasols are

wrapped in fabric, with some made

of satin and also velvet for larger

items.

WE CAUGHT UP WITH NEW

YORK YOGA INSTRUCTOR TARA

STILES IN SEMINYAK TO CHAT

ABOUT SMOOTHIES, PARTIES

AND HER PARTNERSHIP WITH

W HOTELS WORLDWIDE.

STRIKE A POSE


commencing with the scheduled

press conference.

Stiles may not do things by the

book – the aforementioned yoga

session was followed by a cocktail

party (with cocktails she designed

herself) and her yoga style isn’t

always embraced by traditionalists

(she focuses on health benefi ts and

leaves out the customary chanting) –

but she seems to have adopted a ‘to

each their own’ attitude in response.

She laughed heartily after we

told her that someone had once

referred to Strala Yoga as ‘yoga for

partiers.’ “It has a sense of fun and

with her the day before it was easy

to see why.

REBEL, REBELDressed in a sleeveless neon pink

and orange shift dress and tall

wedges, Stiles could have easily

been heading out for a night on the

town. Instead, the ‘yoga rebel’ was

in the Extreme WOW Suite of the

W Bali asking members of the press

to join her in some stretching before

The sun was sinking into

the horizon as we lifted

our arms over our heads

in the Warrior Pose,

fi lling our lungs with

warm sea air and taking in the view

of the peach sky that was quickly

transforming into a mesmerizing

coral hue. Behind us the band Josep

Xorto from Barcelona provided a live

soundtrack of chilled out melodies,

while in front Tara Stiles beamed as

she looked out at the 200 people

that had showed up at the W Retreat

& Spa Bali - Seminyak for sunset

yoga.

Stiles, the author of two books

and founder of Strala Yoga, was

arguably just as enchanting as the

surroundings. With over 145,000

Facebook likes and 57,000

followers on Twitter and Instagram,

her admirers span the globe. And

classes defi nitely feel like a party.”

For those unfamiliar with Strala,

she describes it as a movement

system with a ‘soft approach,’

meaning participants are always

moving in a soft and easy way. “It’s

very much like the ocean, the waves

are coming and going,” she said.

positions – Strala classes come sans

forcing, pushing or struggling.

“The whole attitude is around

community and doing what feels

good and not necessarily about

achieving the pose,” she explained.

“If someone leaves a class and

says they had fun, to me that’s a

huge success.”

FIT WITH TARA STILESIt comes as no surprise that W

Hotels Worldwide reached out

to Stiles to collaborate, given her

playful approach to yoga and her

ever-growing fan base that includes

the likes of Deepak Chopra and

Jane Fonda.

The ‘FIT with Tara Stiles’ program

launched globally in May of this

year and consists of a series of

workouts printed on in-room tip

cards as well as videos. This

program can be found at all 45 of

the W brand’s hotels and resorts

around the world.

Stiles conducted research by

locking herself in the suites of several

W Hotels to help her imagine the

needs of the traveler. “By identifying

their needs and wants in a workout,

I was able to create four unusual,

fun, glamorous workouts that can be

done whenever, wherever anywhere

in the world,” she said.

What’s more is the exclusive ‘FIT

with Tara Stiles Retreat’ program

that has taken the instructor to some

amazing destinations around the

globe. When she visited Bali from

September 12 to 14, her daily yoga

classes took place in various corners

of the resort grounds and even went

off-site to the GWK Cultural Park for

an epic sunrise yoga session in front

of towering statues.

Aside from being able to travel

the globe and connect with her

fans, Stiles has enjoyed being able

to make herself at home in the

kitchens of the various resorts. While

she was developing programs at

the W Vieques, she and the chef

there had a ‘smoothie off’ where

he was amazed by her simple yet

delicious green smoothie concoction.

However, he felt the need to add his

own touch (ginger) to it.

The recipe for the ‘Vieques Green

Dream’ smoothie is available on

Stiles’ website and can also be

found in one of her recent Facebook

posts. Try it out for yourself and

don’t forget to try Strala Yoga – we

can attest that both are absolutely

amazing.

What’s a yoga pose that you think everyone could benefi t from?The Pigeon pose, because I think a lot

of times people are coming to yoga

for stress reduction or for a mind-body

connection. You can do this with the

leg down, just relaxing forward. That

feels really great for a lot of people –

it helps to reduce tension in the hips,

in the back, in the mind. It’s something to do right before bed to get you

THE GOOD FOLKS BEHIND THE RENOWNED CHANDI RESTAURANT PRESENT A

LAID-BACK ASIAN BISTRO IN SEMINYAK WITH A MENU OF TASTY

TREATS THAT IS PERFECT FOR SHARING.

NOODLES AND DUMPLINGS AND DRINKS… OH MY!

From left to right:Juicy charred Norwegian Salmon on Egg Noodles, succulent Beef Short Ribs on a steamed bun, Rice Cracker Prawn dumplings


There’s a fair number of

shops and boutiques

fl anking the busy two-way

traffi c of Raya Seminyak

Street, and when you

have confi dently combed through

them all and fi nd yourself famished

at the end of the day, look no further

than Fat Gajah!

The semi-alfresco bistro faces the

traffi c and can be a bit noisy, but

we’ve found that if you come around

6:30 p.m. the traffi c tends to die

down and it also gets signifi cantly

cooler. Add to that the staff lighting

candles at each table and the jazz

melodies fl oating out of the speakers

and… Voilà! You’ve got yourself the

perfect little romantic spot.

The concept – like Chandi – is

Asian food using almost all local

ingredients and with a dash of herbs

since August. “We were just playing

around and experimenting in the

kitchen, and it seemed to work,”

they responded when asked how the

dish came to be.

The phrase ‘seemed to work’ is

an understatement – the succulent

salmon roll with its perfectly crisp

skin is absolutely fantastic, served on

a bed of noodles and topped with

fresh tomato salsa. The addition of

grilled vegetables adds a beautiful

charred fl avor and the sesame chili

sauce is a wonderful complement to

commonly found in Western cuisine,

like rosemary. The Fat Gajah team

explained that these little hints make

unfamiliar foods and fl avors less

intimidating and more accessible for

foreign palates. “It registers in their

brains,” they explained with a wink.

The difference between Chandi

and Fat Gajah is that the latter is

much more casual than its sister

restaurant on Laksmana Street and

the menu is intentionally kept simple

– think noodles, dumplings and

salads. The dishes are best ordered

with sharing in mind, that is, unless

you want to keep your tasty bowl of

noodles all to yourself.

We found this to be the case with

the Charred Norwegian Salmon

in Egg Noodles, a new menu item

it all. They even put some sambal

bajak on the side for those craving

an additional fl avor punch.

Salad lovers should try the Slipper

Lobster Salad & Roasted Tamarillos.

This delicious dish consists of their

imported lobster, frisée, watercress,

red chili and ginger-kemangi

vinaigrette dressing. The tamarillo

is super fresh and balances out the

fl avor of the kemangi paste, which is

somewhat savory and reminiscent of

an exotic pesto sauce. It is a superb

fl avor combination.

goodness served atop a dollop of

garlic mustard aioli. We recommend

sharing a ‘Dumpling Tasting’ – they

come with either eight or sixteen

their refreshing mocktails or cocktails

Put a Little Spring in Your Step


A NEW DAY SPA HAS POPPED UP ON PETITENGET

STREET, OFFERING A FUN ENVIRONMENT THAT

EVEN INCLUDES AN IN-HOUSE DJ!

Bali is defi nitely the place

for spa enthusiasts,

being absolutely

abundant with options.

So we wondered how

the newly opened Spring spa could

possibly differentiate themselves

from the numerous existing spas,

and it turns out they have done so

by creating a hip and quirky social

space that is surprisingly appealing

to both female and male customers.

The New Zealand brand has only

recently began its expansion into

Asia, and it just so happens that Bali

is their very fi rst stop. Says Ina Bajaj,

founder of East Day Spa and Spring

Spa, “Spring will be the largest site

for the brand and unlike anything

else the Balinese market has seen.”

At a quick glance it seems they’ve

got the right ingredients to live up to

the claim – an exceptional spa menu

and cutting edge interior in the heart

of fashionable Seminyak (Spring is

just a short walk from the popular

Potato Head Beach Club and W

Bali). Sprinkle onto that some quirky

touches and you’ve got the recipe

for a memorable spa experience.

from your traditional looking spa.

chairs are a clean white, and the

whitewashed wooden planks placed

at strategic angles are used to

section off one area of the ground

fl oor, cleverly resembling tall reeds.

Pops of color come from cube-

shaped footrests in blue, green,

pink, orange and yellow; the exact

same colors that can be found on

the Rubik’s cubes they place next to

each chair.

Upstairs you’ll fi nd a liquid bar,

eight blow-dry stations (perfect for

a quick blowout before a special

dinner or night out on the town) and

a DJ booth. The resident DJ gauges

the crowd when deciding what to

spin and his music selection ranges

from jazz to upbeat ‘Ibiza cool.’

During our visit we heard some

soulful tunes and even a romantic

ballad, perhaps thrown in to greet a

cute couple that had just sat down in

the open treatment area.

SOCIAL SCENEThe spacious second fl oor is

available for private functions – the

mirrors at the blowout stations can

be cleared away, leaving ample

table space and room for mingling.

We envision fabulous bachelorette/

hens parties taking place here,

which begin with blowouts and

continue with a round of cocktails

or fresh coconuts (with a dedicated

corner for express manicures,

of course)!

Descend the illuminated stairway

to our personal favorite area, the

unique open treatment space. This

space consists of ten reclining chairs

that are set up in a semi-circle

without any partitions. The open

plan is quite intentional – Spring

encourages its clients to bring friends

along or strike up a conversation

with a neighbor while enjoying

treatments. We spotted some young

When I was asked to write this

piece, I pondered the word

‘fashion’ for a while, and to be

absolutely sure of its meaning

I opened up my trusty Oxford

dictionary and found this defi nition:

Fashion (n): a popular trend especially in styles of dress

and ornament or manners of behavior.

To fi nd out just how bad tourist fashion has become,

I spent the day in Ubud to see if even this part of

the island had fallen into the realm of bad dress.

Unfortunately, the streets of Ubud seem to pay homage to

some of the worst fashion examples around.

Of course I could have chosen Kuta for this piece, but

that is the absolute apocalypse of truly bad taste so I left

that ground zero disaster area well alone.

By taking a seat at a café on Monkey Forest Road,

one can watch at one’s leisure the throngs of visitors to

this fair village ambling by wearing outfi ts so bad that

you have to wonder whether some of them are on a

break from a traveling circus.

I am constantly amazed that so many of the traveling

public tend to leave their dress habits, manners and any

sense of taste they might have at their departure point,

and once they arrive do everything in their power to

stand out like a sore thumb.

I have had, on numerous occasions, the unfortunate

experience of being in an airport check-in queue

surrounded by a group of men who looked as if they

had, until an hour before, been working underneath a

greasy car. It is as if collectively they suddenly looked

at each other and said, “Hey, let’s go to Bali! Shall we

have a shower? Nah, we can have a swim when we

get there.”

Ubud for me has always had a unique sense of style,

as can be seen in some of the splendid emporiums

selling items that would not be out of place on the streets

of Paris or Rome. But why is it that so many men ignore

these offerings and head straight for the gaudy Bintang

t-shirts, overlong shorts and those dreadful thongs?

When night falls and it is time to visit a fashionable

restaurant, one can almost envisage the male holding up

his thongs and asking his beloved, “What do you think

babe, the green or the blue ones?”


I have singled out the men so far, however I have

seen women heading out for an evening, and due to

what they were wearing could only remark, “Well that’s

a lovely outfi t you’re not quite wearing.”

What one wears, be it in daylight or after dark, is

a sign of respect to the local inhabitants who have to

witness this gaudy spectacle day after day. I am yet to

see a badly dressed Balinese woman (or man for that

matter) in all the years I have lived here.

A few years ago, when Elizabeth Gilbert turned out

the novel Eat Pray Love, a tide of middle aged women

from across the globe headed to Ubud to seek spiritual

enlightenment. For a while it appeared all they had

packed were gaudy caftans and brightly colored

yoga gear.

The streets of Ubud were fi lled with billowing fabric

as women of all shapes and sizes headed for the

mysterious Balinese healer who would magically turn

them into a Julia Roberts. Some of those caftans looked

as if they were acquired from stores with names like

‘Rent a Tent’.

Thankfully the caftan phase seems to have passed

but yoga outfi ts still roam the streets, worn by some

with reckless abandon. These lurid Lycra pieces look

splendid on some, however on others it makes for a sore

sight. There is nothing like Lycra to accentuate the ‘bulgy

bits’ of the human body, and do we really need to see

that when taking breakfast at a sunny street side café?

Now that the era of cheap international fl ights is with

us to stay, there is no doubt that Bali (and other exotic

destinations) will continue to be fl ooded with tourists

who appear as if they have shoplifted their holiday

attire from the discount aisles of a Walmart. And so,

for the foreseeable future, we will have to endure men

wearing sandals with socks and their wives in dresses

that look as if they were created from the off-cuts of their

living room curtains.

Perhaps the local government might one day create a

new division within its ranks: Fashion Police.

Now there’s a thought!

by springing off the trampolines,

running up the walls, doing

backfl ips, landing upright and

continuing to bounce away.

Next we tried the mini dodge

ball court fi lled with trampolines and

surrounded by netting. Guests can

invite their friends to form a dodge

ball game of their own or join one

of Bounce Bali’s organized activities.

The balls are dense so if you’ve

got a good arm they can be hurled

powerfully. It’s a bit intimidating

at fi rst to be dodging high speed

moving objects, but since they

are made of foam they harmlessly

bounce off. Teenagers will love it!

area fi lled with 25 trampolines.

The walls consist of even more

trampolines tilted at just the right

angle for the perfect body-launch

back onto the court. With baskets on

either side, everyone can feel like

a pro by slam-dunking after just a

few minutes of practice. Going from

one end to the other and bouncing

off the spring loaded walls while

dribbling and throwing foam balls

provides not only great fun but also

exercise, balance training and even

a core body workout as you ache

with laughter!

The rate is Rp. 100,000 for one

hour, plus mandatory socks for Rp.

20,000. Sessions start each hour

on the hour so you’re better off

arriving early and starting on time to

maximize your fun.

STRIKES & SNACKSThe perfect follow up to Bounce Bali

is relaxing upstairs in the Bounce

Bar and Cafe where you can enjoy

pizza, Mexican or Asian food, and

then bowl in their new bowling alley.

Food and drink are reasonably

priced and provide well-deserved

replenishment from all the calories

burned from Bounce Bali. Strike

Bowling charges Rp. 300,000 (Rp.

500,000 after 4 p.m.) for up to

four persons and you can add two

additional bowlers at Rp. 50,000

each for a maximum of six people

in one lane.

Strike Bowling has an assortment

of complimentary balls for beginning

through expert bowlers and shoes

are included in the price. Don’t

forget to bring your socks, but if you

need them Strike Bowling has some

available for Rp. 20,000. You can

even use your Bounce Bali socks from

your trampoline session if you prefer.

Both Bounce Bali and Strike

Bowling are open from 10 a.m. to

10 p.m. Monday through Thursday,

10 a.m. to midnight on Friday, 9

a.m. to midnight on Saturday, and 9

a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

If you’re looking for an activity

other than visiting the beautiful

beaches of Bali, then escape the

hot sun and get into the ultra-cool

environment of the Canggu Club. In

addition to the bounce and bowling

centers, their state-of-the-art facilities

include a spa, pool, fi tness center,

tennis courts, soccer fi elds, bars,

restaurants and a new water park.

You’ll not only get your share of

exercise, but you’re guaranteed

to have a heck of a lot of fun in

the process.

The Sultan’s ship during the opening ceremony of Teluk Jailolo festival


THE MALUKU ISLANDS ARE A MAGICAL PLACE BEST VISITED BY

THOSE WITH A LOVE OF ADVENTURE AND APPRECIATION FOR HISTORY.

CONTRIBUTOR BROOK MITCHELL SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE AND

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THIS YEAR’S TELUK JAILOLO FESTIVAL.

THE SULTAN’S ARMADA

waters fl anked by a string of highly

temperamental volcanoes that

dominated the landscape. The scene

was surreal for both its staggering

beauty and the fact that nobody

really seemed to know what would

happen next.

To the Sultan this surely mattered

little. We would wait all day if he

wished, as here in the remote Spice

Islands of Indonesia, reverence for

On the third lap

circling the

picture perfect

island of Babua,

the Sultan

ordered his fl eet to pause. Anchors

cast, onlookers aboard the colorful

armada dutifully waited in silence

under the baking equatorial sun.

The fl eet of long wooden boats

rocked gently on calm turquoise

this man and his family is strong.

Only later would the full story of

the Sultan’s dramatic ascent to the

local throne, some 300 years after

his predecessor, fully reveal itself.

It is just one tale in long history

of international intrigue, empire

building and confl ict that drifts

through the jade green mountains of

this now largely forgotten corner of

the globe.


After some time had passed,

directions were given by the

Sultan’s bobatos (chiefs) at the

helm of the kakungah (the royal

craft) that another lap of the island

was in order. In times long past

the kakungah were manned by up

to one hundred rowers pulling in

unison. Now it was the sound of

outboard engines that broke the

silence, accompanied by cheers

from the fl eet.

Upon completion of our fi nal lap

an announcer read prayers over a

microphone, asking permission from

the Almighty and the spirits thought

to pervade the waters to begin the

celebrations marking the end of the

local harvest season. The colorful

Sigofi Ngolo or ‘cleansing of the

seas’ ceremony kicked off a string

of events around little Jailolo town,

all part of the annual Teluk Jailolo

Festival. The festival lasts four days,

with the highlight of the event being

a massive town parade that brings

together the different ethnic groups

from around the island.

Arriving early at a sports fi eld

to watch the preparations, I was

greeted with a strange mix of stage

mothers and tribal elders, all fussing

over their respective group’s dress

and the fi ner details of the dance

routines each were to perform. A

particular standout were the men of

the Sahu tribe.

The Sahu still eke out a traditional

existence in the remote interior of the

island, cultivating rice and hunting

native dear. Despite the withering

sun their energy was infectious,

Tidore’s Gunung Kie Matubu viewed from Ternate


keeping crowds energized

throughout the long march through

small villages back to the port.

In centuries past, when the

sultanates of Jailolo and nearby

Ternate feuded (as they tended to

do), the Sultan of Jailolo was lured

to Babua and murdered in an epic

double-cross. His ashes were said

to be scattered around Babua and

the superstition remains that the

water and fi sh became haunted by

evil spirits. Placating these spirits is

the aim of the opening ceremony,

and the laps around the island are

a gesture of respect to the double-

crossed Sultan.

MALUKU

INDONESIA

In a recent push for the return of

a Sultan to preserve local traditions,

a genealogical study turned up the

current royal duo. Previously living

a humble life in Sumatra, the now

Sultan received an unexpected offer

he couldn’t refuse. The link to the

royal families of centuries past meant

he was fi rst choice to retake the

crown in Jailolo. So it was in 2002

that the title of Sultan was passed to

Abdullah Syah.

The Maluku Islands are a magical

place and perhaps best visited by

those who possess a real sense of

adventure and appreciation for

areas with amazing history. The

annual Teluk Jailolo event is held

in June; for more information visit

National Museum provides

insight on just how diverse this

country is.

INDONESIAN NATIONAL MUSEUMEasily reached via Trans Jakarta or the

City Tour Jakarta double decker bus

(it’s free!), this museum is located in a

row of governmental offi ces in central

Jakarta, west of Merdeka Square. It

houses more than 140,000 artifacts

from around the country and is by far

the largest museum in Indonesia.

Built in 1862, most locals refer to


Ethnography section showcases

traditional lifestyles that have

remained unchanged, compiled

from 34 provinces in the Indonesian

archipelago and arranged by

is probably the quickest way to learn

about Indonesia’s diverse cultures

and traditions.

Other collections include Hindu-

Buddhist stone art from ancient

Indonesia and a treasure collection

with archeological fi ndings of

ancient gold and various artifacts.

When the famous Wonoboyo

Hoard from the 9th century

was dug up, there were 14.9

kilograms of gold and 2 kilograms

of silver, and one of the most

valued pieces is a golden bowl

with scenes from the Ramayana

carved on the side.

Another collection worth noting

is the textile section where you can

fi nd batik cloth made by Kartini

herself. The national heroine was a

forward thinking woman in the early

1900’s who fought for education

for the women of Indonesia. She

was greatly infl uenced by European

culture and her batik cloth features

unusual patterns and colors when

compared to the batik of that time.

You’ll also fi nd an interesting

ceramics collection that includes

a centuries-old piggy bank, a

prehistoric collection, a colonial era

collection, a bronze collection and a

numismatics collection.

BANK MANDIRI MUSEUMJust in front of the last Trans Jakarta

bus stop in Old Town is where you

will fi nd the Bank Mandiri Museum.

Previously housing the Netherland

Trading Society, this building fi rst

opened in 1933 and has a look that

is very Art Deco (the architectural

style is actually Dutch Nieuw

Zakelijkheid or ‘New Objectivity’).

In the 60’s the building became The

Bank Export Import Indonesia and

then merged with a few other banks

and became Bank Mandiri in 1999.

Sprawled across more than

10,000 square meters, the Bank

Mandiri Museum offers much to

see. And as a part of Jakarta’s Old

Town, it does a good job of taking

its visitors back in time to almost a

century ago. The museum contains a

lot of banking items from the colonial

era and the exhibit is arranged

to look like a bank during the

colonial times.

Upon entering, visitors

immediately feel that the building

has existed long before the invention

of advanced machines and

technology. In fact, all the interior

and furniture is preserved from the

building’s opening in 1933.

Up the stairs in the main hall you

will see a public space and an area

where the tellers once operated. The

main fl oor features cash counters

and other related banking features,

and also has a café in the corner.

Old colonial songs are played to

complete the experience.

A burst of color can be found on

the way to the second fl oor, where

impressive stained glass decorations

can be found. There are fi ve window

columns representing the four natural

Dutch seasons, with the fi nal one

dedicated to Indonesia’s verdant

landscape.

A labyrinth-like lower ground

features a showcase of old

brandkast or safes from the colonial

era, security documents and

HEALTH&MEDICAL

Call an ambulance by dialing 118, but it is a lot

more practical and quicker to hire a taxi. Most

hotels have on-call doctors on standby. For “Bali

Belly”, Lomotil and Imodium eliminate symptoms,

but not gastro-related infections. A fever along

with symptoms requires doctor-prescribed

antibiotics.

Drink as much liquid as possible. Isotonic

drinks under various brand names are widely

available and are known to replenish body

hydration and replace fl uids. For discomfort,

diarrhea and cramping, drink strong, hot tea;

avoid fruits and spicy foods.

Some day-biting mosquitoes carry dengue

fever, but this is not a problem in tourist areas.

Bali is non-malarial and prophylaxis is not

required. Mosquito bites, cuts or abrasions

easily become infected in the tropics. Treat them

immediately.

Drink only bottled or boiled water. Peel fruit

before eating; avoid raw vegetables except at

reputable restaurants. Ice in restaurants is safe.

Protect yourself from the intense equatorial sun.

Use high SPF sunblock and a hat.

AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases

are increasing in Indonesia. Local sex workers

have multiple partners from around the world.

They are not checked for sexually transmitted

diseases. Act responsibly and use condoms,

available over the counter at pharmacies.
