the magIt’s offi cial! Bali is experiencing an 11% surge in foreign arrivals as of May 2011. Meanwhile we are only halfway through the summer on the Island of the Gods. There are still many things to enjoy and new acquaintances to be made. Endless fun is the only certainty in Bali around this time of the year.

For the Balinese, the month of August offers plenty of reasons to be grateful to the Gods. It’s harvest time and, as always, they are celebrating it in style. One of the expressions of gratitude shown by the Balinese takes the form of kites. You heard us. That colorful little thingy that comes in various interesting shapes to decorate the Bali skyline.

Actually, they are not that little. Some of the common types can reach up to 5 meters in diameter. Long story short—as amusing as they look, kites in Bali go back to the time of the ancient agrarian community. Leaf through the pages of The Mag and you’ll fi nd out the connection between Balinese kites and modern society on the island.

The Bali that we all come to love began in the rice fi elds many centuries ago. From such simple origins come very elaborate family and

Dear reader,community structures. This is important to understand in order to better understand the island and its people. The only outcome of such comprehension is, we guarantee you, a greater love for Bali.

And the more we are in love with the place and the people around us, the more we become one with them, especially those who are not as fortunate as we—the street children. This is a grim reality that, sadly, exists in the shadow of prosperity in the island.

But, at the same time, there’s one thing that also exists in abundance in Bali: Loving and caring people who selfl essly take to the streets to help those in dire need. With this edition we humbly invite you to get to know them and support their noble cause. For we believe their work, as well as the love of life of the street children themselves, are more reasons for us to celebrate life in Bali.

Therefore, whilst in Bali, live life to the fullest! On the CoverA mother and her children of a Bali Aga family in Tenganan, Karangasem

Spokesperson of the State Department, Victoria Nuland, announced last month that the President of the United States of America Barack Obama will attend the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bali on November 19, 2011. It will be the fi rst participation of the USA after being admitted—along with Russia—to the 18-nation forum in Hanoi last year. The East Asia Summit is held between leaders of 16 Asian countries to promote peace, stability and economic prosperity in East Asia. This year’s meeting will be hosted by Indonesia as the current chair of ASEAN, the South East Asian regional forum at the core of the EAS.

Preparation for Obama’s second offi cial trip to Indonesia has been underway since the US Ambassador

Bali Culinary Professionals (BCP) has successfully raised funds for the development of young chefs Bali Chapter by participating in the 5th annual Biznet International triathlon in Jimbaran Bay, Bali, June 26, 2011. “We invited sponsors to donate cash for each mile that I completed during the triathlon,” said Andrew Skinner, the newly elected president and Executive Chef of Bulgari Hotels & Resorts Bali who represented BCP in the sporting event. “All the funds raised will go to our Young Chefs Development Program, for training and sending them overseas for competitions.” BCP is grateful to all the sponsors who share the same enthusiasm for and commitment to junior chef development in our culinary communities such as Bulgari Hotels and Resorts Bali, Artisan Wine and Lotus Food Services.

The Biznet Bali International Triathlon features an Olympic distance event and a Sprint distance event, the only triathlons ever to be held in Bali. The triathlon is a unique destination race that combines a luxurious race setting with a challenging course. ■

Scot Marciel informed the regional authorities of the plan in May. After being made aware of the plan, the Governor of Bali, I Made Mangku Pastika, vowed to make the visit a safe and successful one for the US president.

“Having world leaders meet here will show that Bali is safe. And that has an impact because some countries still have a travel warning, such as Australia and America,” the chairman of the Indonesian Travel Association Aloysius Purwa said. “If Obama comes to Bali, it will change the perceptions of the American people.”

In Bali, Barack Obama is also scheduled to hold a bilateral talk with his Indonesian counterpart, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. ■

The work of Patrick Richards will be displayed for public viewing on August 5, 2011 at Kendra Gallery from 7 PM to 9 PM. For Patrick Richard, a set of simple seascapes could actually reveal an exciting and dynamic experience. His photo exhibition will unfold stories about the objects in front of your eyes.

The photographs are mainly scaled on a landscape format that accentuates the endlessness of the sea and the sky, magnifying the contrast between the immensity of nature and the tiny presence of humans, passing actors in the infi nity of time.

Patrick’s incomparable touch transforms this exhibition into a heartening journey, urging every one of us to take a deep breath of serenity and recall the quintessence of life.

New Date for Patrick Richards's Photo ExhibitionThe dining tradition of a great empire of yore can now be found at Tulip Restaurant & Lounge in Seminyak. The establishment offers authentic traditional Turkish cuisine that befi ts to the already eclectic neighborhood.

Tulip is set in a modern two-storey building in Jalan Raya Petitenget. The dining area contains an indoor section at the front and a relaxed outdoor section adjacent to a charming pond at the back.

A typical Turkish meal starts with Mezze, appetizers, available in great variety at Tulip; among them is allegedly the best hummus in town. To help guests make their selections, the waiter will bring a complete assortment of Mezze on a big tray.

Continue your meal with a main course; two of the Tulip’s signature dishes are the Chicken Begendi and Tulip’s Lamb which are slowly burned and grilled with charcoal.

The restaurant is open for dinner until midnight. In the not too distant future, it will also open for lunch with emphasis on lighter meals. ■

The restaurant that is best known for serving delectable Asian favorites such as: Pork Stew and an original Manadonese dish of Seared Tuna in mild chili sauce, is also home to some of the most exciting live music entertainment in the neighborhood. Praba Maniam, the general manager of the Breezes Bali where d’Base restaurant is located, says that the type of music performed there is geared to bring fun back to the dance fl oor.

TEXT ERIC IMAGE IMAGESTOCK

Imagine if the game of soccer allowed players to use their hands to score goals. To football lovers, that would be as illegal as entering a temple without observing the rules that are in place at the sacred Hindu places.

The Rules of the Game

Unless you just landed from Pluto, you will know that the use of hands in soccer is a

big no-no. It’s the fi rst thing you learn about the beautiful game; although some of the best players in the world have sneakily tried it in major tournaments to their advantage (Yes— you, Diego). The rules are there to defi ne the game.

Similarly, the list of do’s and don’ts at every temple gate is established to protect the sanctity of the place of worship. Some temples even go as far as banning permanently disabled people from entering the site to keep out impurity.

The Balinese Hindu religion requires a state of purity of mind and body to worship God. And from that precept come all the rules of conduct at sacred places. Over time, the rules have become embedded deeper in tradition to become what society considers as taboo. So, for instance, it’s taboo for someone who has just recently married to enter a temple to worship because tradition says that individual is impure (cuntaka).

The inherited meaning of impurity may not be the way it’s understood in modern society. It’s a product of ancient local wisdom. That’s why temple rules today still include prohibitions such as that which bans women with infants from entering place of worship. Modern scholars try to fi nd rationales for those rules in order to meet inquiries from today’s believers. But, they only exacerbate the difference between the outlook on nature of the ancestors and that of ours.

While it sounds ludicrous to disallow disable persons from taking part in worship, it’s just a matter of interpretation of ancient religious texts. In fact, today, some authorities of the Balinese Hindu religion have initiated talks about making temples more accessible to people with disabilities.

This, of course, doesn’t mean that there will be a wholesale change in temple rules anytime soon. So, no matter how tough you look on that rented Harley, you must wear that pink sarong if you want to take pictures inside the majestic Besakih temple.

Rules await visitors and worshippers alike by the gate of the Batukaru temple.

Believe It or not

It’s never easy to be a motorist in Bali. There’s nothing under the sun that could enforce order along the narrow and winding roads here.

TEXT ERIC IMAGE AGUS

F rom recalcitrant drivers who seldom remember to use the turning-sign button to high school

students who pay more attention to their cell phone than the traffi c ahead while cruising at 60-km-per hour, they are every commuter’s nightmare that, unfortunately, make up the majority of Balinese motorists. Yet the very same people know better than to carry their reckless attitude on through the night.

Honk if You Love Supernatural Beings! When the sun has set, and upon approaching spots

along the road such as bridges, sacred banyan trees, and temples, motorists deliberately slow their vehicles down and… sound their horns. A great concern for their own safety suddenly overcomes every one of them. The reason for this change of behavior is their belief in the existence of certain unseen inhabitants of those locations who wouldn’t tolerate intrusion into their habitats, more so than most mortals during daytime.

The Balinese believe that we humans share such locations with an array of spiritual beings. Places such as road bridges, where two elements of nature (water and land) converge, are considered natural habitats for supernatural beings. And some of these spirits are known to make unsolicited contact with humans in their vicinity.

This is what lends a degree of notoriety to places such as a particular span of the By Pass road near Sanur in South Bali. Motorists who pass a bridge that stretches across the Badung river (Tukad Badung) often meet with unfortunate accidents after failing to acknowledge the supernatural occupants of the area.

According to this belief, all that’s required in that situation is a simple honk. Some motorists would just murmur a short greeting or even just give a respectful thought to whatever resides at that site. Basically, humans are expected to be considerate of other creatures in our shared realm; the kind of attitude that’s sadly found lacking among motorists during daytime.

A View from the Curbside

Let’s Keep Cycling Fun and Lycra-free in Bali!BY VYT (BORBORIGMUS.WORDPRESS.COM)

Bike riding is on the increase in Bali. I’m not talking about motorbikes, but pushies. Sepeda. Deadly treadlies. Oh, there have always been frighteningly fi t expats around who power through the streets, easily keeping pace with nominally-faster motorbikes in our terminally clogged thoroughfares. There have always been those expat women fl oating serenely through the traffi c on their traditional style ladies’ bikes, wearing elegant long fl owing dresses and looking utterly unfazed by the heat. And there have always been local kids zooming around on tiny, erratic bug-like things that are obviously an interim stage before they graduate to motorbikes at about 8 years of age. But there seems to have been a quantum leap in the numbers of cyclists recently, and this is getting scary.

Soon after sunset, when the air cools, big pelotons of young riders appear on the roads and continue swooping and darting through traffi c until late at night. They seem like organised groups, and are obviously having fun. Most seem to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of road mores—in the sense that they at least—generally —stay to the left. But there is not a helmet to be seen, none of their bikes have lights, and riding three or four abreast seems to be the norm. While I hope fervently that it won’t happen, it is only a matter of time before a car ploughs into one of these nocturnal groups.

No-one denies the health benefi ts of bicycle-borne exercise, or that the carbon footprint of a bike and its rider is much smaller than that of a motorbike. Except for the occasional release of methane in an exertion-induced kentut, bicycle riding is generally regarded as more friendly to the environment than motorised transport. And I am the fi rst to encourage it—as long as this laudable pursuit does not go down the same path as it has in Australia.

On my last trip to Melbourne, I arrived on a weekend. I needed to drive to a bayside suburb along a main road which follows the line of the bay. To my surprise, it was completely closed to cars—something that apparently happens every weekend. Not for a scheduled bike race, I hasten to add, just so that recreational riders can use a main arterial road without the hassle of dealing with cars. Cyclists are the only ones who can use the road, causing untold angst to thousands of residents who have to fi nd their way to their destinations through choked back streets that eventually feed into overloaded main roads many kilometres away. Maybe the preponderance of surrealistic Green-dominated local councils has something to do with it. While some of those weekend riders are no doubt motivated by opportunities for healthy exercise, many unfortunately give the impression of being self-centred fanatics, if not complete psychopaths.

It wasn’t enough that many of these ‘enthusiasts’ in their visually confronting harlequin-bug costumes saw fi t to dominate the only viable thoroughfare, they also took over the side streets. Negotiating those congested minor routes was a nightmare. As well as the displaced cars, these streets also had to cope with clots of angry, Lycra-clad ectomorphs oozing endorphins, and consumed with an irrational rage towards anything on four wheels. They ignored stop signs and traffi c lights, cut in, changed lanes without warning, and overtook cars on the left and on the right. Thank the gods that none had mountain bikes, or they would have ridden over the top of my car. Some even thumped my roof as they passed, glaring and yelling “Bloody Cager!” as they passed. Apart from anything else, I resent their hijacking of the motorcyclists’ term of endearment for a car driver. Bloody cheek!

But that’s Melbourne; this is Bali. So far, cycling here is at the same stage as it was in my youth —a time of pleasure in healthy physical activity, a time of freedom and joy in self-powered motion. Let’s preserve that if possible; let’s encourage safe cycling through education and socialisation. Let’s do that before cycling becomes a hip fashion, a form of institutionalised arrogance and a cult politicised by inane do-gooders who have no idea of the ramifi cations of their actions.

In Focus

The Humble Origins of Kite Flying in BaliAlmost everything in Bali came about around the rice fi eld. The same environment gave birth to the colorful Balinese kite, which can be seen adorning the skyline during summer.

TEXT ERIC IMAGE IMAGESTOCK

K ite fl ying is known in many cultures around the world. It is believed that an early form of

kite was known in China around 2800 years ago using the ideal materials for kites such as silk for the sail and the line, and bamboo for the frame. But a particular interpretation by authors Clive Hart and Tal Streeter on archeological fi nds off the island of Sulawesi suggests that leaf kites were already fl own in Indonesia farther back than those in China.

A similar device was found among the ancient agrarian community in Bali and is the ancestor of today’s Balinese kite. It was made from a large piece of leaf, which was fl own by farmers as a tool to drive birds away from their rice fi elds. The method was proven successful to protect the rice paddy that was ready for harvest.

The Flying Offering

Yet, instead of taking credit for the ingenuity, ancient Balinese farmers were grateful for the perfect wind gust sent by Rare Angon, the wind god that lifts the kite to the sky. Subsequently kite fl ying became an integral part of worship by farmers around harvest season, which occurs in the months of July through August.

The tradition survives to modern time despite the decreasing number of rice fi elds. Kite fl ying today has become a communal activity that involves young men fl ying giant size kites in groups. The biggest and most popular type of Balinese kite is the Bebean, which takes the form of a very large fi sh. The size of an average Bebean is 4x7 m. It uses cotton fabric for the sail and bamboo sticks for the frame. It takes a 15 man crew to fl y a single Bebean. Another type of Balinese kite, and a slightly

smaller one, is the 4x6 m Janggan kite. It takes the form of the Besuki dragon, a mythical creature believed to be the guardian of the land of Bali.

The above two kites can be seen competing in the annual Bali Kite Festival that takes place every summer in Padang Galak, Sanur. Hundreds of participants from Bali as well as international kite enthusiasts compete in 4 categories: the Bebean, the Janggan, the Pacukan, and free style creation.

The festival itself is a reminiscence of the similar event held by farmers in ancient time to celebrate a successful harvest. Traditional Balinese music is present to accompany the fl ight of the kites to the heaven in bringing the gratitude of the Balinese to God for such a good life in the island.

The Servant of Seminyak

I Wayan Mara

57-year old I Wayan Mara has witnessed the change from the beginning. He’s been the head of the traditional village of Seminyak for 18 years—and will stay a loyal servant of his hometown for as long as God keeps him in his present position.

What is a typical day of a head of Banjar for a place like Seminyak?I have little control of my own daily schedule. If residents come to me at anytime of the day to ask assistance for their problem I have to be ready to lend a hand. People seek my assistance in all kinds of matter.

How do you run a village like Seminyak?Basically, issues around here are grouped in 3 subjects: Parhyangan (heaven), Pawongan (society), and Palemahan (environment). As Balinese we direct our livelihood toward heaven before anything. Here in Seminyak the subject deals with ceremonies, places of worship, etc. Meanwhile, issues about the people focus around education of our youths, security and empowerment of our elderly. And of course there’s problems concerning environment such as garbage.

How did you get elected as head of a traditional village?Perhaps God and the people of Seminyak saw that I really want to serve my hometown. I have no proper formal education. I was an elementary school graduate and started my career as the deputy of my predecessor. But, I have been sincere in serving this village. Now, I’m in a position where I have university graduates under my command and wealthy residences come to me for help. It’s really God’s way of making me useful for everybody.

Not many people realize that, like other places in Bali, Seminyak is still a traditional village (Banjar) governed by rules established in the days of yore. Today’s tourism dollar has transformed Seminyak into a modern entertainment district and brings prosperity to many of its original residents.

The head of a traditional village in Bali is a cultural function

and consequently is not in the government’s pay roll. Yet,

I Wayan Mara has managed to hold the position for almost half of his life while fi nding time in his busy schedule to make decorative fretwork to provide for his family.

Is being the head of a traditional village something that you’ve always wanted?I have no other ambition than to see my village become prosperous. Seminyak wasn’t always the way it is now. We had no control over the businesses during the Soeharto administration. Everything was run by the Army Cooperative Center and they collected exorbitant fees from merchants on the beach. The beach was the only tourist attraction in Seminyak during the latter part of the 90’s and it was a mess.

Obviously you’ve done a good job in straightening things out around here.It wasn’t easy. I had men with gigantic muscles come here to threaten us when we cleaned up illegal moneychangers along the Seminyak Street. I told them ” …I may be small but I have the whole village behind me. All I have to do is hit that kul-kul (traditional wooden bell used by the ancient village society to convey messages) over there and everybody will come.” The thugs left and we fi nished our job. We managed to retrieve the money that was scammed from foreign tourists and return it to rightful owners.

So everyone, local and foreign, in Seminyak can come to the Banjar to seek help?Of course—everyone who lives and does business here is what makes up the present time village of Seminyak. They have to know that we have rules to ensure safety and comfort of each resident and they have to abide by them. Present time Seminyak belongs to whoever lives and works here. There’s nothing that I want to see more than all members of the village get along and uphold the unity of our village.


Going Italian in Uluwatu

Trattoria Uluwatu

TEXT ERIC IMAGES AGUS

Trattoria Cucina Italiana has become well known as the purveyor of authentic Italian cuisine in Bali since 2001. The latest addition to the chain, Trattoria Uluwatu, just opened in Jalan Labuan Sait, near Padang Padang beach in Uluwatu. We visit the new restaurant that’s situated in front of the cool Pink Coco Bali hotel for a taste of the tradition rich cuisine.

Selamat Makan

E verything that can be expected from Trattoria is discernable from the name itself. Trattoria

—according to Olivari Vanni, the co-founder and chef-- is an Italian term for tavern (or ‘warung’ in Indonesian). There’s a trattoria on every corner in Italy; each carries local food and psyche of respective region. A neighborhood trattoria is a place where Italians come for a hearty food, lively atmosphere and reasonable price.

The cultural and culinary connotation is rather foreign to us when we arrive there. Luckily, Signore Vanni is present to give us a heads-up on the basics of Italian dining. A friendly staff escorts us to one of the courtyard tables with a direct view to the serene Labuan Sait Street.

The atmosphere is defi nitely Mediterranean; the main theme to be found in most of Trattoria locations. The single storey building is a nice blend of Italian, Spanish and Portuguese architectural styles with neat tropical landscaping adorning the garden area.

The menu is presented in categories common to all authentic Italian restaurants; Antipasti for starters, followed by Primi and Secondi Piatti (fi rst and second main courses). Vanni then picks three dishes that he says represent an authentic meal at an Italian trattoria.

The fi rst one is Insalata Pecorino e Pere, fresh ruccola with pears, pine nuts, Italian pecorino cheese and honey. Then, of course, nothing

Insalata Pecorino e Pere

Trattoria UluwatuJl. Labuan Sait, Padang PadangPhone: +62 361 822 7741www.newinbali.com/trattoria

says Italian better than a dish of pasta. We are served a dish from Vanni’s hometown of Bologna, Pappardelle Alla Bolognese, which is homemade pasta with Bolognese ragu sauce and parmesan cheese. And last, but defi nitely not least, is the grand Rosticciana di Maiale, 500 grams of grilled pork ribs, served with French fries and salad.

Vanni encourages us to have the pasta before moving on to the salad in order to capture the assortment of tastes in both dishes. They have very different characteristics from the humongous pork rib dish that don’t normally go together. The result is a whole new sensation to be relished rather than devoured.

Scrumptious as they may, the previous two dishes come second to Rosticciana di Maiale on presentation. The ribs are cut along the length of the bone and consequently have more meat on it. It took Olivari Vanni a full year to fi nd the exact cut to acquire authenticity of this particular Italian dish. And his tenacity pays off; Rosticciana di Maiale has much more to enjoy than the average pork ribs while, at the same time, retains the original fl avor of pork meat.

But all good things must come to an end. To try to describe the experience is near impossible. As Vanni explains to us, the secret of making good Italian food is fi rst and foremost to live the experience of being Italian. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had a glimpse of that at Trattoria Uluwatu.

No Balinese family is a small family, and the role of each family member is very clear; something that can be alien even to a fellow Indonesian. A young Javanese meets her Balinese boyfriend’s family for the fi rst time.

Family Life

AIt’s too late for Dewiyani to realize that this is not the best time for her to

be among her boyfriend’s Balinese family for the fi rst time. She can’t tell who’s who and what their connection is to Surya, her boyfriend of 3 years. Surya’s late grandfather is the center of everyone’s attention right now.

The family is preparing to return his body to its origin in the Ngaben ceremony. And having just landed in Bali 5 hours ago, it’s a lot for Dewiyani to swallow.

Dewiyani only knows a bit about the Ngaben ritual. She has seen many pictures of it and thinks it looks beautiful. She’s a Javanese, a non-practicing Moslem from rather a progressive small family. She is visiting Surya’s hometown in Tabanan to meet his family, and, maybe, to let her boyfriend’s kin know that they are planning to get married. Unfortunately, Dewiyani, an American graduate lawyer who works in Jakarta, had never given much thought to the Balinese family system.

Clash of Cultures


In Bali, a woman follows her husband into his family once she’s married to him. Dewiyani knows that much and is pretty confi dent she would be able to waive that rule as they both want to pursue their careers in Jakarta. But now Santi, Surya’s older sister, implies the impossibility of that idea. They have a brief girl talk when things around the family house die down a little bit.

Surya is the only son in the family. He is expected to be the purusha, the one to carry his father’s line in the family and inherit all family values. “We don’t really care about the inheritance.” Dewiyani replies in a nervous tone. “You should,” says Santi. “My brother should have told you about this. It’s his responsibility to our ancestors.”

Santi points her toward the Merajan—the altar where the family prays and makes offerings to the ancestors. “That is his to take care of.” Dewiyani freezes. “He can’t do that if he’s in Jakarta, can he?” Santi asks Dewiyani rhetorically.

Dewiyani is alien to the concept. She doesn’t know that every Balinese is indebted to God, parents and the priests from the day he or she is born; something that must be upheld by the family as well. So when Dewiyani becomes Surya’s wife, she is to assist her husband in paying the debt through religious and traditional rituals until their son, after he gets married, takes over.

This is what lies at the core of the Purusha concept in a Balinese family—responsibilities to religion, family and society. To pay their way through these debts, the Balinese frequently hold ceremonies. That’s also the reason for every Balinese’s tie to family and village. They are obligated to them as individuals. The connection is their identity, a way for their kin and village to survive.

Perhaps this concept can be traced back to the ancient agrarian community that Bali was, where land was abundant and the workforce around the rice fi elds was most important to support the livelihood for the whole village as well as a single family. And as a nuclear family gets extended through the children, the responsibilities are passed down to the next generation, and the generation below them.

A patron looking after his family ‘s future

At this point, ancestral worship has taken a new form in Dadia, an extended family’s common ancestor whose altar is housed in the main family home. There’s no certain limit as to how far down the ancestral worship should be maintained. What begins as a single household now turns into a clan whose members share a common origin through a patrilineal tie.

Most of Surya’s clan members turn up on the eve of his grandfather’s Ngaben ceremony. Everyone in the family is expected to attend a Ngaben. This is the type of religious event that nobody wants to miss—a Pitra Yadnya, an expression of responsibility toward parents and ancestors.

Meanwhile, Dewiyani has quite a big task at hand to take her mind off how she would cope with the Balinese family issue. Sekar, Surya’s mother, has assigned both Santi and Dewiyani the

task to weave a basketful of coconut leaves into small containers for offerings (banten). Dewiyani struggles to follow Santi’s lead. She will become better at it says Santi, encouraging her to keep trying.

A woman’s role in a family is such that she is the one to prepare for ceremonies and daily rituals —considered as domestic duties. The family responsibilities are not passed down to her as she’s expected to leave her family and join that of her husband’s.

In her husband’s family home, her life cycle starts anew but she’s still the one to take care of household chores. Certainly, it’s not something that Dewiyani thought she would end up doing when she was working on her masters degree in the US. Suddenly the idea of marrying Surya isn’t that exciting anymore.

Just when Dewiyani feels she has enough banten ready in front of her, she catches her boyfriend passing not too far from where she sits. She runs toward him and demands explanation about everything, about their plan to settle down in Jakarta, about being a member of his Balinese family, and about the possibility of keeping a distance from the whole family concept.

Feature Story

“What begins as a single household now turns into a clan whose members share a common origin through a patrilineal tie.”


“I was going to talk to my parents about us after the ceremony.” Surya explains.

Surya hasn’t told her much about the family system because he doesn’t have a full grasp of it either. He has spent half his life in Europe after getting a scholarship for high school education. He remembers that it wasn’t an easy thing for his father to deal with. But after all this time, he hopes Sudanta, his father, will understand his Western way of thinking.

In a few days, he will have a talk with his parents about his plan to marry Dewiyani and, if possible, to ask for a little leniency on the family responsibility.

“Is it even a matter for discussion?” asks Dewiyani hopefully.

It’s a question that Surya’s been asking himself too. He knows well enough that the family system is the one thing that defi nes him as a Balinese. The last thing he wants for himself is to lose his roots.

Dewiyani observes Surya’s change in mood. She understands his concern. There’s nothing wrong with the Balinese family system. It’s just something that is very different from anything she’s accustomed to. She smiles wryly and lets Surya go to attend to his business.

Dewiyani lets out a long sigh and returns to her task. Perhaps, she thinks, they need a plan B.

Heart of Bali

Rescuing the Future

Some of them are close by, under the glittering lights of Kuta, pestering tourists at night but

overlooked by many most of the time.

That was how Putu Etiartini found them in the streets of Legian, in the early hours before dawn. The children were let loose there by their bosses to earn the rights to sleep and eat for another day. After watching and talking to the children for a while, Etiartini decided to take some of them under her wing.

Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak Bali

Some children have their future written on the wall of poverty. They were born shackled, and reared to be sent away from what passes as home to the world of illness, abuse and oblivion.

There wasn’t much she could do back in 2007 when she fi rst started the beach school for the street children of Kuta. She couldn’t save the children from their employers and there was no place to keep them warm at night. All she could do was to gather the street children in a shack on a beach in Kuta—close to where they live—and begin giving them basic education with the help of a number of volunteers.

Putu Etiartini had discovered that most children were illiterate and in very poor health. The only thing they have is the desire to learn. So she initiated the beach school with seven regular students for 2.5 hours every Saturday afternoon.

A year later Etiartini and her colleagues managed to get their program registered as ‘yayasan’ (non-profi t organization) and they extended their efforts by providing shelter for three sick and depressed street children at Etiartini’s rented

Heart of Bali

house. Subsequently, a number of street children intermittently visit what would become the Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak (YKPA) orphanage. Classes were also conducted at the orphanage to teach the children Balinese dance, swimming, painting, English and math.

The classes were transformed into an informal school when more volunteers came to teach math, reading and English among others. The children enjoyed rapid development as the original three students started regular school that year. For the fi rst time in their entire lives they learned things as mundane as putting on socks and wearing a school uniform.

Over time, with help coming in various forms, the organization grew. Many more street children were recruited and cared for by the organization —some of them have serious health problems that need special attention. Today, the YKPA orphanage is home to 26 former street children and orphans. In cooperation with other non-profi t organizations, Putu Etiartini and the YKPA staff have managed to organize more classes for other street children at the orphanage and regular school as well as providing care for other marginalized individuals.

Equipped with only minimum resources YKPA has managed to turn around many lives that would otherwise have remained as lost causes. Yet, at the moment, the organization has to focus most of its efforts on the task at hand. Meanwhile, many other children are still out on the streets needing help and care for their situation. There are more futures to be rescued if we can all join the cause.

Selamat Makan

The succulent Grilled Snapper Fillet with Chili


J alan Double Six by the Legian beach is as great as a location can be. The tree-lined strip is

fi lled with restaurants and bars offering good food and an open view to the beach. It’s the place to be in the busy entertainment and leisure district of Legian at any time of the day. We arrived there one evening when the sun was about to set on the west coast of Bali. And decided to enjoy it at Tékor Bali Restaurant & Bar.

Tékor Bali has been serving guests in the same spot (right by the entrance to the south half of Jalan Double Six) since 1996. Nothing much has changed since then. The restaurant has opted to preserve its simple and laid back atmosphere over the years while others in the area have updated their looks. Certainly, it’s not due to aversion to change, because they are well aware that innovation is the key to longevity in any business. Later, inside the restaurant, we are beginning to see the reason for their decision.

Good location is one of the proven

elements to a successful restaurant.

At Tékor Bali it’s just the beginning.

An Evening to Remember at Tékor Bali Restaurant & Bar


The closer we get to dusk, the busier it gets at Tékor Bali. A few well-placed tables are already reserved for the evening. Colorful lanterns hanging from tree branches over the outer dining area are just being lit when we take our seats. The atmosphere turns restful. Everyone there seems absorbed in watching the sun drop off to its cradle.

And when darkness overcomes the horizon our orders for Grilled Snapper Fillet and King Prawns with Cognac sauce arrive in front of us. Both are served with generous portions of mashed potatoes, vegetables and salad. Our faces brighten when we see them. Seafood is the main specialty at Tékor Bali. According to the staff, Tékor’s Grilled Snapper and King Prawns are two of the most sought after dishes in the neighborhood. Many fi rst-time guests have visited the restaurant just for those. We couldn’t agree more.

To accompany the meal the staff suggests that we order the stimulating Javanese Slippery and Arak Sunrise. The combination of the drinks with the seafood is believed to enhance the dining sensation. Again, it’s right on the mark. It’s the most succulent snapper and king prawn dishes that have ever graced our taste buds, and we have been around the culinary block a few times.

In the middle of our dinner we look up and around to see faces of people having good time over a good meal at Tékor Bali. The restaurant is said to strive to bring the same kind of experience to its guests any time of the day. From the early morning breakfast menu all the way through late supper around midnight, Tékor lets its food speak for itself.

The management and staff want guests to remember their visit to the restaurant because the food they have there and the friendly staff who provide excellent service. All the staff works hard to maintain such impressions day in, day out. Perhaps this is why nobody at Tékor Bali has the time to think of renovating the establishment. They already have what it takes to be remembered.

source : www.indosurfl ife.comUluwatu Heaven or Hell?Here we are back in high season. An early morning surf on the West coast and an afternoon session at Ulu’s drove home that it really is that crazy busy time of year. And not just on the streets; the water is somewhat overpopulated to say the least. Which wouldn’t be a problem if everyone remembered why they’re there: to surf.

Clearly there are other factors in the mix: there are those whose bread and butter is made in those barrels, another’s hoping to fi nd themselves noticed by industry types, others who’ve skimped and saved just to experience a particular wave, some just fi nished a long day at work, someone else got stuck in traffi c, and the list goes on. We are not just surfers out in the water but individuals each with their own backstory and

motivation to be in the surf. Which is fi ne, as long as the baggage isn’t out on display in the already

crowded line-up.

So let’s remember the primary reason we’re in the water: to surf. And sure we’d all prefer an empty line-up, but as divine as it is the island of the Gods is a busy place, and so we need to share. Take your respect and responsibility out into the water with you along with your board and that way maybe you AND the others can have a fun session. If you feel the need to argue, hassle or fi ght, then surely you’re not having much fun? In which case, count to ten, go eat a nasi goreng, get a massage, make a friend and come back later for those waves with your name on 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 surfi ng 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

BALI TIDECHART(PART 2)

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 fl at 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 baffl ed, 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.

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 “fi xed” 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 defi nitely 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 profi t, 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 fi ne 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 fl ower 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 fi ne 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 fi ne-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 ricefi elds, 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 fi ve 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 fi nest luxury hotels in the world, its original colour as a fi shing village still remains. Unlike many other coastal areas in Bali that have fully converted from fi shing villages into tourist spots crowded with umbrellas, hawkers and surfboards, Jimbaran exploits its natural potential as a fi shing village with the establishment of row upon row of seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch of fresh fi sh and crustaceans. Jimbaran is now known to be a haven of the fi nest seafood (both raw and processed) in Bali.

Nusa Dua

Some of the most luxurious hotels in the world fi nd their Bali home in Nusa Dua. Yet, unknown to even some of its loyal visitors, Nusa Dua actually offers more than just ranks of fi ve-star hotels and up-market restaurants and shops. For instance, the many visitors staying at these fi ne hotels are largely unaware of a beautiful white-sand beach located just fi ve 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.

The area’s scenic rice fi elds, 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 fi ne 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 fi shing 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 fi sh. Known as budget stopovers in the old days, the Gilis with their rapidly increasing popularity now have diversifi ed 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 fl ow into the land and sea. This will increase pollution and kill the fragile underwater eco-system.

3. Refi ll 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

F or the moment you arrive at Ko Ko Mo, you know that this is something special. A classy, high end restaurant on a tiny

tropical island who would have thought? Greeted by the beautifully uniformed staff, you just know to expect an experience out of the ordinary.

Your fi rst decision is whether to enjoy beach side dining or slightly more secluded semi-indoor dining experience under the vast wooden roof on

the other side of the narrow sandy street. We chose to sit on the beach side as the slight refreshing breeze from the ocean was a welcome feature on a shot tropical evening.

Then came the time to choose from the menu while sipping a delicious pre-dinner cocktail. As a true seafood lover, I chose the salt and pepper calamari starter while my companion went for the stuffed zucchini fl owers. While we waited to be served, we

were presented with a delicious small home baked loaf of bread, served warm with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt and a lovely amuse-bouche with tuna and sesame oil.

Our starters soon arrived, and what a tasty start to the meal! The calamari were served on a bed of lettuce and herbs, gently drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. The zucchini fl owers were lusciously stuffed with pumpkin and feta cheese and lightly battered. We enjoyed every bite as well as the reasonably priced crisp chardonnay we sipped with the food.

The staff were polite and observant and allowed us a small break between dishes to let the food settle.

Our meal continued with crab ravioli, served with a saffron and sage butter and perfectly grilled scallops, accompanied by couscous and roast tomato. The food was beautifully presented, a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. We practically licked our plates!

Although not normally “dessert people”, we elected to not let the feast end there. TO fi nish off a perfect meal, we ordered a strawberry dacquouise—a light and luscious meringue with fresh strawberries, whipped cream and crème anglaise—and the ultimate chocolate lovers dream: The Fallen Chocolate cake. Oh, what a sight when you fi rst poke your fork into this unbelievable creation! The rich dark chocolate oozes out and gently blends with the accompanying vanilla ice cream. Heaven!

Ko Ko Mo is a feast for all senses—the ultimate blend of superb food, cozy ambiance and excellent service. What an unexpected treat on such a small island!
