In between the crowd and dust
Attending the unique Balinese Hindu ceremonies
is one of the many things I crave; colorful images
of Balinese women in their outfits, foreign
yet oddly melodious prayers chanted and the
glamorously decorated offerings for many times
are diffusing inside my head. Knowing this
fantasy of mine, a friend invited me to attend a
rare ceremony held up on a hill in Candidasa. I
was so excited...

8Team’s Note
Last Month:A long long trip to the National Park
Last month we drove miles to the western tip of Bali
to the bushes of the Bali Barat National Park and
did some serious walking and climbing on the other
edge of the island.
If our muscles didn’t hurt enough already, we went way
up high to the top of a hill in Candidasa where we attended
a rare Balinese Hindu ceremony the next day.
We continued our journey to the Mangrove
Forest on the Kuta-Sanur bypass, where we had
a wonderful walk under the soothing shades of
the mangrove trees on the sides of the boardwalks.
After that, we visited the limestone hill of Jimbaran
and paid a visit to the dramatic cultural park of Garuda
Wisnu Kencana.
Finally, it was time to relax…and we headed to the oasis
in the heart of Kuta that is called Waterbom Bali, where we
had splashes of fun. We continued pampering ourselves that
night with fine Greek-Mediterranean cuisine at the Pantarei
restaurant in Seminyak.
We also would like to congratulate Mr. Obama for marking
another line in history the as newly-elected, first African-
American president of USA; our Mr. Bartele of Bugils Bali is
here to tell you some more about it.
Well, enough from us for the time being. It is your turn now to
get busy exploring the island. You might want to save up some
energy though, for we will show you more excitements in the
coming edition!
Have fun!

didyouknowthat: it is not polite to step into a street-offering, so better be carefull, because Bali is flooded by them. Nevertheless, if it might happen accidentely, do not worry too much; the balinese believe that the Gods accepts the offerings instantly, so the purpose is already reached within a few minutes after placing the offering.

Be good on the roads, people…Bali’s roads are probably a little bit dusty and somewhat
narrower these days. No, the island is not shrinking, it’s just
that many road constructions and entrenchments are currently
undergoing in, unfortunately, tourist spots like Legian, Seminyak
and thereabouts. It is, therefore, important for you to be really
careful when accessing these roads – especially those riding
motorbikes, for the roads are quite slippery too sometimes.
*hati hati means “carefull” or “look out”.
The 1st Asian Beach Games in Bali was
concluded last October 26 with Indonesia on the
top rank awarding the country 23 gold medals, 8
silvers and 20 bronzes. This sporting event meant
to “Inspire the World” was a remarkable success
and have received praises from around the world.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the
Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) congratulated the
Indonesian Olympic Committee on the successful
delivery of the Olympic spirit to Indonesia and the
island of Bali.
The OCA unanimously awarded the first Asian
Beach Games to Bali, in part to assist with the
island’s recovery program following the terrorist
attacks that occurred a couple of years ago. By
hosting the Games, Bali is welcoming the world,
boosting the economy and introducing new
tourism.
This first Asian Beach Games also leaves a lasting
legacy on the island and throughout Indonesia.
At the 27th OCA General Assembly last October
21, the Council declared that the flame for all
future Asian Beach Games will originate from the
eternal flame at Mrapen in central Java, Indonesia.
The flame will be relayed to Bali then on to the
host city.
VICTORY FOR INDONESIA

This local fare could come to
immediate rescue when your
tummy starts yearning to be fed.
Why? Because it’s simple and
fast. Yep, we’re talking about
Gorengan, which literally means
fried things. Tahu isi (stuffed
tofu), tempe (bean curd), pisang
(banana), singkong (cassava)
and ubi (sweet potato) are all
wrapped with flour and dip-fried
in a big wok flooded with boiling
oil. These golden offerings
are only snacks, thus will only
do a little ‘tickle’ in your belly;
although the stuffed tofu and
bean curd are commonly used
as side dish for rice.
Snack time, local way!

Bali goes politicalBig banners of the 1st Asian Beach Games and Kuta Karnival may now have been taken out from the major streets of Bali. Yet, the coming Indonesian general election held next year still paints Bali with many colors of the flags of parties taking part in this nation-wide political event. The little flags displayed on sides of Bali’s major streets may not really grabbing the attention of the passers by, but the huge ones put on many smaller streets on the island are for sure the can’t-miss even from quite a distant.
Bali before the tourist
boom is known as largely
composed of fishing
villages. Now, with many cottages,
bungalows, villas and hotels
occupying many of the island’s
coastal areas, fishermen could still
be seen with their little traditional
boats, nets and fishhooks from
the beach with surfers or fancy
buildings on the background.
Yet, fishing activities are not
really taking place in the ocean,
for there are a number of rivers
in Denpasar which are commonly
crowded by ‘fishermen’ and their
fishhooks…and their girlfriends!
Yes, these coupled fishers usually
go fishing at night when they
could always leave the fishhooks
and wait ‘till a catfish bites the
bait; until then, holding hands
and wrapping them on each
other’s waist would be nice. In
other words, for these ‘fishermen’
the fish comes second, it’s the
togetherness that counts the most.

Bali Road Trip
Bali BaratNational ParkT.his time, we squeezed our little Baru di Bali car
in between the big trucks and buses traveling from Bali to Java on the two-way winding road
leading western to the tip of Bali. Our car couldn’t really run though, as the slantways caused a little hard time for, especially, the fully-loaded trucks ahead of us to go on. Anyway, we didn’t mind at all queuing behind these big machineries, for we had a scenic drive along the way to enjoy.
We left Kuta early in the morning at around seven and hit the main east-west road to Java. On the way, we passed Tabanan, a regency in western Bali, and went on through the downtown area which looks pretty much similar with any other large towns in the island
- with a busy market and shops on the two sides of the central streets. ATM machines, money changer, internet cafe, post office and telecommunication shop are also provided in this area.
Moving forward to the western we encountered this magnificent view, where the greeneries of rice fields and mountains covered with coconut trees are blended with an ocean view on the background.
We finally entered Jembrana, a regency which probably is the most heterogeneous in Bali. The native Balinese living in this area do not all adhere to the Balinese Hindu, for some of them have converted to Catholicism and Protestantism.

The Mag • Bali Road Trip
Moslem community is also considerably big in Jembrana. The natural scene in Jembrana is also varied, containing a large mountainous area, beaches and rice terraces. The sand on the beaches is mostly volcanic, hence black, and the rice terraces are probably some of the most beautiful ones on the island.
Getting out of Jembrana, the road heading to the tip of the island is rather flat and not really that winding anymore. Two sides of the road are covered with bushes both parched and green. We could only guess then, but sign boards saying that “You are entering the West Bali National Park zone” confirmed that we were within the protected area of the national park.
The West Bali National Park has multi-parted habitations including high forests, magnificent coral-fringed that are preserved as a wilderness zone and as a barrier against human settlements. The national park comprises almost 200,000 acres of wooded slopes, savannah, rainforest, monsoon forest, mangrove swamp and coastal flats, and is the only remaining natural habitat of the endangered Bali Starling (a soft, white bird that has a blue band around its eyes). It is also the home to 200 species of plants, mouse deer, barking deer, long-tailed macaques, civets, monkeys, wild boars, and the last of the island’s wild bull.
More like a forest than a jungle, the national park offers exceptional walking and first class panoramas with complement to Bali’s sun and sea and even temple tourism. Probably best known and most visited are the excellent coral reefs surrounding the Menjangan Island, which has a spectacular marine life including brightly colored parrot fish, yellow back fusiliers, powder-blue surgeon fish, damsel fish, puffer fish, unicorn fish, barracuda and silvery jacks.
Extensive reefs also surround the mainland; both sea and shore birds are abundant, with the most noticeable being the brown boobies and lesser frigate birds. Hawksbill turtles and 10-meter-long toothless whale sharks have also been sighted along the reserve’s north coast, as well as whales and dolphins that are migrating via Bali Strait. We ended our national park journey by visiting the Bali Tower within Menjangan Resort area where we could see boundless bird-eye’s view of the surrounding.
The Mag 17
We went through a different route back home to Kuta. We took a random turn in a random intersection that headed us to another winding road passing some villages in the town of Negara. The breeze in this area was so cool that we let our car windows opened wide. Only one or two motorbikes were passing on the road that we took. The absence of many vehicles passing on the road made our car somewhat an attention grabber. Yep, everybody was looking at our car; and we could tell that they were pronouncing all the letters we have on the car.
The funny thing is, we didn’t know where we were at the time. Luckily after driving for quite some time, we spotted the mile stones on the side of the road saying only three letters “SBT”, which stands for Surabarata, a village still within Negara area. Surabarata has a stunning view of cliffs with greeneries on the bottom that was so tempting that we decided to just park our car by the road side.
We stepped down through a steep dirt path to the bottom where a river is running fresh mountainous water. The path was pretty slippery though, and we really don’t recommend you to do this if you are not accustomed with this kind of track without supervision of your guide or any other professional experts. Anyway, being on the bottom was really great: soaking your feet in the river and walking through the coconut trees. We also made a random stop at some rice terraces in the area, only to watch the farmers doing their things. It was surprisingly very entertaining and peaceful.

Every two years in the tenth month (October), a special ritual called Nusaba Gumang c e r e m o n y takes place up in the peak of Gumang Hill, some four kilometers east of Candidasa. On this day, the Balinese Hindus from four villages in the surrounding of the hill will make their way up around 400 meters above the sea level carrying offerings to the temple to worship their Gods and pay respect to their holy men. The roughly 2km steep, pebbled and dusty path surrounded by parched bushes leading to the hill’s peak will be full with the villagers from Ngis, Jasi, Bebandem and Bugbug.
We were there last October 13 to join this religious activity and witness the thousands of Balinese Hindus as they went through a difficult track to reach Pura Gumang, a temple sited on the peak of the hill. Old men and women were struggling hard with the help of their canes, parents in heavy sweats carrying their little ones on their shoulders and in their arms.
The uniqueness about Nusaba Gumang ceremony is the enormous number of suckling pigs offered. Each man, including the little boys, brought with him a suckling pig to be hung on frangipani trees within the temple’s compound, as a symbol of respect to Betara Gede Gumang, a holy man from the ancient time who meditated on this hill.
“On this very spot (peak of Mount Gumang), Betara Gede Gumang saw a holy light from God and got the prophecy to meditate here,” Suwartika Nengah, a resident of Bugbug village told The Mag (TM). Nengah continued explaining, “After the meditation, escorted by people from the four villages, Betara Gede Gumang held a journey to Mount Tambora in East Nusa Tenggara. Once on that mountain, he was vanished and fused into a light before the villagers’ eyes. These villagers believed that he was merged with the divine one.”
It was 3.10 pm when we finally could see the gate of the temple on the peak of Gumang. A number of priests greeted and sprayed us with holy water before we stepped into the temple’s area, where we could see that people were busy preparing all the ceremonial needs. What also amazed us was a quite long-stretched gazebo which at the time was turned into a kitchen. A lot of Balinese men were busy chopping pork meat to be served for people from the four villages on the next day. The interesting part of this activity was the rhythm of the chopping that somewhat in harmony with the melody from gamelan played on the opposite of the gazebo on a sided altar.
A high way to heaven

Everybody went berserk...
We went to a spot where we could also enjoy the beautiful views of the sea, river, rice fields and villages with the mountains of Lempuyang and Seraya in the distance, when all of the sudden, a number of women, who we assumed to be in trance, started to dance in random movements and made some sounds (somewhat like crying, somewhat like in the state of high ecstasy). These women came out of nowhere in between the crowd; and with empty looks in their eyes, they headed to the gate of the temple.
From what we learned from the people around us, it turned out that, with no alarm or anything, these women ‘received’ a signal from below – the procession from one of the four villages had arrived in the hill and was heading up to temple. The procession was of several men altogether carrying Jempana, a decorated box wrapped with plain fabric. The Jempana itself is also believed to be ‘dwelled’ by spirits of their ancestors.
The procession men were running non-stop from the village up to the temple, but not in a straight line though as the Jempana they were carrying seemed to be rather ‘rebellious’ or ‘excited’ that these men needed to struggle hard to control them. Several accidents had taken place in the past when the procession men couldn’t control what they were carrying and hit a couple of pilgrims causing broken legs and arms.
The procession’s escorts were villagers with some carrying the village banners, dancing in trance and others were performing ngurek (stabbing themselves with keris or dagger on the chest). The whole procession group would then run around the altar three times as a respect to three elements: Shiva (the destroyer), Brahmana (the creator) and Vishnu (the caretaker). The Jempana from the four villages would then be clashed with one another, as a reconstruction of the dispute that occurred in the past between these villages.
Everybody went berserk during the Jempana clashing, that five o’clock in the afternoon was pretty dark on Gumang since the dust, as the result of massive frictions from movements of the processions with the ground, was so thick covering the sun. Noises from the crowd somewhat created the atmosphere that a turbulence or chaotic state was going on. The clash ended when the procession from Bugbug village joined in.
As we went down the hill at around seven in the evening, more and more pilgrims with their suckling pigs kept on coming to the peak of Gumang Hill. “It is something that we believe in and it brings us satisfaction if we could complete what we are obliged to do,” Nengah said to TM.
Suddenly, some women, who we assumed to be in trance, started to dance in random movements and made crying sounds...

Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is a cultural park that lies on a limestone plateau in Jimbaran. This park bears the statue of Hindu God, Vishnu, riding his mythical half-man and half-bird companion known as Garuda and showcases the art and culture of Bali along with dramatic natural backdrops and breathtaking panoramic views.
The still-on-construction statue of Vishnu is planned to reach the height of 146 m that will sit on top of an eleven-storey entertainment compound within the park; currently, only the head and torso of Vishnu, head of Garuda and Vishnu’s hands that have been completed and put in different areas in the park. This statue is to symbolize a harmonious relationship between human beings and the natural environment as well as the spiritual life of the Balinese people.
GWK is also meant as the modern renderings of ancient traditions and spiritual pilgrimage, especially with the existence of a sacred spring from which flows water that is believed to cure diseases. The existence of this spring has no scientific explanation; thus, it has become a place of pilgrimage and meditation.
The two 25-meter natural limestone pillars comprising the Gapura Batu, at the entrance gate to the complex, are carved with images taken from the Ramayana, the mythical cycle of stories forming the dramatic basis of most Balinese art forms.
Numerous cafes and restaurants provide a full range of food and beverage services, from snacks and light meals to banquets ranging from Indonesian to international flavors served in appropriate public space. With little rainfall and open to fresh tropical breezes, GWK facilities are ideal have been used for numerous events like music concerts and fashion shows. Cultural performance like kecak dance is also regularly held on the park’s amphitheater that can hold up to 7,500 people.
Walking around the park would include a lot of stair-climbing and probably take an hour – with a couple of stops for a drink. However, the beautifully-tended water gardens in GWK would provide a scenic climb that can take away all the tiredness.

hat a hectic week this was! From a tried
businessman, quietly planning to semi-retire
in Bali, I am suddenly in the world headlines!
I do not like to brag, but most of the readers are
people I personally know anyway, and you might find it
interesting to follow the story of my journey into the
(sub) headlines around the world.
It started last week when I was surfing on the internet
late in the evening, with the TV behind me tuned on
FOX News. I suddenly heard the voice on TV behind
me, struggling in a sentence. “Sweet Barack.. no,
what is it? Sweet Obama.. .uh…” The other Fox anchor
helped her out: “Oh, yes. The story about a Dutch
business man planning to open a Sweet Home Obama
bar in the house he used to live in Jakarta!” I literally
froze on my chair. The other announcer continued:
“He wants to sell a Barack Blend of coffee in that
house!” My heart started pumping. I was on FOX News.
They showed the old house in Menteng and the whole
news flits was only 20 seconds probably, but, he! I was
on it! I did a quick Google News search for Sweet Home
Obama and I found there were over 100 newspapers
that had published it already, including The Wall Street
Journal, USA Today and the Washington post!
The telephone started ringing. People wanted live
radio interviews. “When did you first have this idea?”
a Dutch radio station asked me. “Well, it was even
before Obama was known”, I explained. I told about
the idea I had at the time when Kofi Annan was still
Secretary General to the UN and I planned to open a
coffee house with the name Kopi Annan. At that time
I couldn’t get people interested. “But now, with the
link that Obama had lived in Menteng for a couple of
years, the Sweet Home Obama idea suddenly seemed
to get more attention”, I told the radio presenter.
For the coming days I have been scheduled to do live
interviews for AP, El Jazeera and even on CNN for their
prime time show on Election Day. I am deadly nervous
but I have to do it. It’s once in a life time opportunity.
The only thing that rest me is to convince Abu Bakar to
turn the house that his family owned since 1939 into a
Sweet Home Obama. He is 78 old retired navy officer
and it will not be easy. I’ll bring him some stroopwafels
later today and explain again that it is not the idea to
sell alcohol, but strictly coffee and waffles. After all,
there is huge mosque nearby...
To be continued…

Splashing fun in the sun
Cool down from the hot hot sun and have some fun, while you’re at it
It was a very flaming Friday afternoon in Bali when we were on our motorbikes and stuck
in the traffic of Kuta - so hot that we could literally feel the sun scratching and gashing
on our skin. Trapped on Jl. Kartika Plaza, we changed our mind going to relax on the
beach and hit to Waterbom Bali instead – a modern day ‘water palace’ and an oasis in
the heart of Kuta.
Waterbom hosts many water attractions ranging from slides and
rides that provide visitors with hours of guaranteed fun filled with
both relaxing and even adrenaline-pumping activities. The slides and
rides in Waterbom are built and maintained to strict international
safety standards; thus ensuring risk-free twists and turns for
all of the visitors. Situated within 3.8 hectares of lush tropical
surroundings, visitors are also given the option to set their own
pace for a day of fun in the sun or relaxation under the shades.

Splashing fun in the sun
Amongst the attractions that would make your heart
beats faster from excitements are the Smashdown and
Boomerang. Smashdown is an eight-storey straight
slide with a steep 60-degree angle that assures visitors
a top 70 km per hour speed as they hit the slide and
smash straight down. Boomerang, which is the latest
addition in the park, twists the visitors down from
20m in the air and sweep them again straight up to
catch the skies. These two attractions are, however,
not suitable for those having any heart problems.
For those lazy enough or don’t have the courage to
hit the water on the bottom or get flown up in the
air, Waterbom provides the Lazy River for a leisurely
drift or a tranquil dip in the Pleasure Pool and its
nearby thatched gazebos to catch a breath. Visitors
can sit down and have a casual meal or grab a snack in
the Food Court that offers Balinese favorites, Italian
staples, French pastries, Indonesian delights and even
gourmet hotdogs – which is perfect for those hungry
for a culinary adventure.
Once the tummy business is satisfied and the energy
has been restored, then it’s time to get back to the
playground and get a little dizzy from the twists and
turns (and shouts) on the Raft River and Macaroni
Tube. Visitors need to hold on tight to their tube raft
as they wind their way through back-to-back curves
and 360-degree turns on the Raft River. The Macaroni
Tube is there for those craving for more twists and
turns through the lush jungle of Waterbom where the
trees hover above and around, elevating the thrills of
the tropical wilderness adventure.
Relaxing activities are mostly centered at the sunken
tropical Splash Bar where the visitors can satisfy their
thirst with many drinks available: blended, shaken or
stirred. Waterbom’s Balinese therapists are also on
standby at the Spa@Waterbom to give visitors’ bodies
a little break through a full body aromatherapy
massage.
The Waterbom Bali, however, will be closed this 17-
30 November 2008 for a major refurbishment and
maintenance to ensure the highest safety for its
visitors and to avoid any possible inconvenience.

the boardwalk, absorbing the sunlight and
breathing air, providing shades for comfortable
walks. Just inside the bark of these trees, water
is being slowly pumped through the trunk to
the leaves where sunlight, air, water and some
nutrients absorbed from the mud are converted to
useful materials for the surrounding ecosystem.
A walk along the wooden boardwalk at the Mangrove Forest on Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai provides greenery
of mangrove trees. Be worried not, for there are a number
of wooden shelters for everyone to rest including a couple
of towers from where the visitors could enjoy the view of
these vast swamps – little boards are also provided in these

mangrove trees and the other species that live in the forest.
It’s a perfect place for those who enjoy bird watching, or
just to rest for a while after the walk.
Mangrove trees produce enough plant materials to feed the
hundreds of types of animals, large and small, which live
or just visit the area. Visitors can also watch the various
species of birds and mammals, including storks, kingfishers,
and monitor lizards. It’s not surprising to see such a variety
of marine species here, because the mangrove forest serves
as a nursery ground, feeding ground, and spawning ground
for many types of fish, shrimp and crabs. When the tide goes
out, dozens of crabs can be seen scurrying along the ground,
popping into holes and emerging again.
Strange noises from the swamp would sometimes give an
eerie setting, making you wonder where or what is the
source of the noise. But again, this even makes a more
perfect sense to spice up the ‘jungle adventure’ within the
swamps area.
The functions and benefits of the mangrove forests can
no longer be ignored, and it is essential that we preserve
them. Unfortunately, the area’s natural beauty is marred
by certain people’s littering. The many problems that the
forests face, such as trash and land conversion must be
mitigated immediately, by raising public awareness.

JOEL, LOMBOK“Eeeehhaaaa” would be the shout-out accompanying the roaring sound of a red motorbike as it jumps out of the 45-meter high tower in Double Six Club. This attention-grabber afternoon show is a courtesy of AJ Hackett Bali to entertain the crowd in Seminyak; and the man behind this so-called madness is Joel, a Jump Master originated from neighboring Lombok.
Growing up in a pristine natural beauty of Central Lombok, one of Joel’s favorite activities as a child was to jump 15 meters into a river below in an area not very far from his parents’ house. “Yeah, I really loved it…especially when it was raining,” Joel told The Mag (TM), adding that, “The most exciting moment was probably when my body hit the water. It hurt a little though, but it was so much fun.”
“I moved to Bali in 1995 in search for a new atmosphere. Lombok is very nice, but I just felt like I had to go out and Bali is the perfect place because it’s close from Lombok. So, every time I feel homesick, I could always go back home without any fuss,” Joel said to TM.
This father of two admitted to TM that Bali provides him with all of the pleasurable aspects he needs. “I love clubbing and Bali has many clubs to go to. The best thing about it all is that these clubs are only a bike-ride away. Bali also has nice gyms. And it’s also because of Bali that I’m now into motorbike racing.”
When asked about the plan on turning Lombok into the ‘second Bali’, Joel commented, “I don’t think Lombok would ever be like Bali. I mean, the two islands have different characteristics. I think it’s better to just leave Bali as the developed area; I think it would be best to keep Lombok ‘unspoiled’ so that it can be an alternative destination for tourists.”

REDSOUPThe Red Soup had finally opened its doors last October 8th after being postponed for quite some time since February. Serving only mouthwatering red soup, The Red Soup is a specialized restaurant serving its customers with the recipe of family delicacy that has been passed for generations.
The beef sausage, chicken, shrimp, smoked beef and meatballs, along with vegetables like broccoli and carrot all look very tempting dipped in red tomato soup. Choices of side dishes like white rice and crunchy bread come within the package, making the soup goes even more perfect.
The setting of the restaurant itself is quite surprising. When you step in, you might feel like you are entering a food court: you will immediately face the cashier, make your order there and directly pay for it – even the kitchen is sited on the front part of the restaurant. But once you have passed the cashier, you will enter this calming, jazzy atmosphere eating area with many small-framed pictures hung on the wall.
The restaurant’s convenient location on By Pass Ngurah Rai leading to Nusa Dua, only five-minute away from Ngurah Rai International Airport, makes The Red Soup an ideal spot to have a quick stop to wedge your tummy before adventuring Bali’s southern part like Jimbaran, Uluwatu and the surrounding areas or spending hours in flight.

et in a modern Greek interior with truly fine delicacies,
Pantarei (also known as Lio Restaurant) provides
authentic Greek-Mediterranean cuisines within a
pleasant restaurant environment - where customers could
enjoy the food at its best. What is more, Pantarei definitely
adds another color in the already-eclectic and chic Seminyak,
as the only Greek restaurant in the area.

The a la carte menu is vast and provides something for everyone as there are meat and fish dishes as well as vegetarian items on offer; but still pays the attention to quality, quantity and, of course, value for money. The drinks list is as varied as the food and offers a variety of beers, wines and spirits. No, we are not going to list down all the menu items here as there are many of them, but we will share with you with some of the appetizing fares we had the other night at Pantarei – which adds another line in our dining experiences.
As we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly staff and a glass of orange juice for each person as the compliment. We didn’t straightly make our orders when the menus were delivered to our table; instead, we took some time reading pages on the menu book that tell the history of a Greek philosopher who has inspired the creation of this restaurant. Only when we realized that a staff had been standing on the side of our table for quite a moment that we finally made the orders.
As the appetizer, the four of us had Set Dips (tzatziki, aubergine, spicy cheese and hummus). Of the four dips, I really think that the spicy cheese (creamy feta cheese with paprika and hot spices) went perfect with pita bread. The tzatziki (diced cucumber in yoghurt and garlic), aubergine (smoked eggplant mashed with garlic, walnut and extra virgin olive oil) and hummus (chickpea puree) were also very nice; I just love cheese better.
For the main courses, we ordered lamb kaskebab and aubergine pure (cubes of tender lamb simmered in a red wine herbs sauce, served on a bed of creamed aubergine puree), mixed meat plate (a selection of beef, pork, chicken, lamb chops and sausages on a skewer), gyros (suckling leg of lamb finely sliced and served with pita bread, sliced tomato, onion and tzatziki) and lamb kebab (marinated pieces of tender lamb skewered with mushroom, served with couscous and sauteed baby string beans sprinkled with pine nuts). All the meats were very soft and wonderful.
A range of tempting desserts are also available for those with a room to spare. We were pretty full and satisfied at the time, but we just couldn’t stop. And so, we ordered Loukoumades as the dessert – this delicacy is highly recommended for those loving sweets. The fried pastry puffs with honey, vanilla ice cream, sprinkled with cinnamon and cashew nuts made a great conclusion on our great night in Pantarei.

10’Strange’ Tropical Fruits
Bangkuang is a small genus of five or
six species of tropical and subtropical
plants growing from large, often edible
taproots. The taste of the fruit itself is
probably the combination of pear and
apple with less sweet flavor. Bengkuang
is commonly used as one of the mixers
in the local fruit salad or rujak.
Bangkuang
3 Dragon fruit (or Buah Naga in Indonesian) is
easily recognized with its round shape, often
red-colored with prominent scales. The thin
rind encloses the large mass of sweetly-flavored
white or red pulp and small black seeds. Some
varieties are pinkish or yellow. The flesh is
eaten raw and is mildly sweet and low in
calories. Some people have likened it to the
Kiwi Fruit mainly because of the prevalence of
sesame seed-sized black crunchy seeds found in
the flesh. Just don’t eat the skin or the seeds
as they are both indigestible. Interestingly, this
fruit can be converted into a juice or wine and
it flowers make great tea once steeped.
Throughout Bali, and Indonesia in general, you will find unusual and succulent fruit worthy of any palate ranging in color and variety. These fruits are important part of the Indonesian diet, either eaten on their own, made into desserts, or even savory dishes like the local fruit salad (rujak). Listed below are some from the pretty exhaustive list on Indonesia’s ‘Garden of Eden’ delights - you may have not seen and tasted some of these fruits.
Dragon Fruit
Sapodilla (or Sawo in
Indonesian) is a large
globose berry with 4-8 cm
in diameter, very much
resembling a smooth-skinned
potato and containing 2-10
seeds. Its meat ranges from
a pale yellow to an earthy
brown color with a grainy
texture similar to that of
a well-ripened pear. The
flavor is exceptionally sweet
and very tasty. The fruit’s
flavor has been compared
to cotton candy or caramel.
The seeds are black and
resemble beans, with a hook
at one end that can catch in
the throat if swallowed.

6 Kedondong is a kind of greenish yellow,
fibrous, sour, plum-like fruit. Raw
kedondong is used in rujak (mixed
fruits salad with sweet and hot
dressing/sauce) and it is sometimes
eaten cooked.
Kedondong
7 The soursop (or sirsak in Indonesian) is
very sour as its name implies. It is a
fairly large irregular-shaped green fruit
with sparse soft spines. Inside there is
white pulp around black seeds. Usually
the pulp and juice is scraped out and the
seeds are removed. Sugar can be added
to the pulp to be eaten fresh, or it can
be made into sirsak juice.
Soursop
4The Mangosteen (or Manggis in Indonesian) has deep
reddish purple rind when ripe. The taste of the fruit itself
can be described as sweet and tangy with peach flavor
and texture. Mangosteen is closely related to other edible
tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop
mangosteen. Botanically, it bears no relation to the mango.
Mangosteen
5The Longan (or Lengkeng in Indonesian) is often used in East Asian
soups, snacks, desserts and sweet-and-sour foods, either fresh or dried,
sometimes canned with syrup in supermarkets. The seeds of fresh longan
can be boiled and eaten with a distinctive nutty flavor. Longan is also
named “dragon eye” because of the fruit’s resemblance to an eyeball
when it is shelled (the black seed shows through the translucent flesh like
a pupil/iris). The seed is small, round and hard.
Longan
46 The Mag
10 Rambutan in Indonesian literally means hairy or hairy fruit
due to the ‘hair’ that covers it. The fruit is a round to
oval drupe 3-6 cm (rarely to 8 cm) long and 3-4 cm broad.
The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellow),
and covered with fleshy pliable spines. The fruit flesh is
translucent, whitish or very pale pink, with a sweet, mildly
acidic flavor.
Rambutan
8Snake Fruit
Snake fruit (or salak in Indonesian) is named so due to the reddish-
brown scaly skin. They are about the size and shape of a ripe fig,
with a distinct tip. The pulp is edible. The fruit can be peeled by
pinching the tip which should cause the skin to slough off so it
can be pulled away. The fruit inside consists of three lobes, each
containing a large inedible seed. The lobes look like, and have the
consistency of, peeled garlic cloves. The taste is usually sweet
and acidic, but its apple-like texture can vary from very dry and
crumbly to moist and crunchy.
9 The size and shape of Papaya
can vary and the skin can
either be smooth and yellow
or slightly rough and green
and yellow striped. The flesh
inside is yellow or orange.
Remove the skin and discard
the round black seeds. Cut in
slices or chunks, and for extra
flavor serve with a squeeze of
lime. Papaya is available all
year round.

In between the crowd and dust Attending the unique Balinese Hindu ceremonies is one of the many things I crave; colorful images of Balinese women in their outfits, foreign yet oddly melodious prayers chanted and the glamorously decorated offerings for many times are diffusing inside my head. Knowing this fantasy of mine, a friend invited me to attend a rare ceremony held up on a hill in Candidasa. I was so excited. Yet, once I got to the ceremonial ground, the beautiful images I had in mind were all scratched. Instead of beautifying, the make ups faded by sweat did nothing but staining the tired faces of the women; the men looked outrageous in their sweaty, wet outfits; the hurting-your-eyes flying dusts. “What is this?” I disappointedly asked to myself.
This ceremony was held 400 meters above sea level on the peak of Gumang Hill in Candidasa with only four villages on the hill’s surroundings attending. Those pilgrims needed to make efforts to go up through a steep, dusty track with very little shades to rest. Of course, everyone would sweat a lot; what was I thinking? I looked at Christo. He was also looking awful – trying to catch a breath, showered in sweat. I was a jerk for being disappointed, ever! Thirty minutes had passed but nothing really special going on: people were wondering around the ceremonial ground, praying
and quite a lot were resting from their journey going up the hill. But that was only until a woman standing right next to me growling…and then she cried…and turned somewhat into high ecstasy only within seconds. All the sudden a quite number of other women from different corners in the area were also in trance. “What is this” I asked myself again; this time, full of wonder.
Shortly after, procession teams that had been running non stop from their villages up to the peak of the hill arrived. The sun was still burning hot. Can you imagine how exhausting it was? Not to mention that they were also carrying jempana – decorated boxes wrapped with plain fabric, which are believed to be ‘dwelled’ by spirits of the four villages’ ancestors. I’m sure it was pretty heavy. The jempana were then clashed with one another as a reconstruction of the dispute occurred in the past between these villages. Probably if viewed from the sky, the ceremonial ground would look like a brownish, golden ocean with human waves as each of the Jempana was ‘attacking’ each other. With all the massive frictions, the dusts were flying high making a drizzle when they fall down; this time, the dusts didn’t hurt my eyes.
This ceremony turned out to be very spectacular; it amazed me in a way that I’ve never seen or anticipated before. Its spiritual richness and ritual diversities certainly stunned me for it showed a different kind of beauty. I can hardly wait to see more of unusual, unveiled beauties that Bali has. Bring it on, Bali! Show me more of your faces. This time, I won’t complain…

Some Facts about Bali:
Bali is one of the tens of thou-sands islands in the Indonesian archipelago that lies between the country’s most populated island, Java, and Lombok. It is also one of the country’s most developed provinces with the capital in Denpasar, located on the southern part of the island.
Bali is divided into 8 regencies (Badung, Bangli, Buleleng, Gianyar, Jembrana, Karangas-em, Klungkung and Tabanan) and 1 city (Denpasar). Unlike most of the Muslim-majority Indonesia, around 94% out of Bali’s 3 million population adhere to Balinese Hinduism, which is a combination of the existing local beliefs and Hindu influences.
As the main tourist destination in Indonesia, Bali is renowned for its highly developed arts, including music, dance, sculp-ture, painting, metalworking and leather. The island is also the home of wildlife such as hundreds of bird species (including the endangered Bali Starling), Indian Muntjac, Mouse-deer, Leopard Cat, Black Giant Squirrel, and several species of macaque and leaf monkey.
The island’s countless natural irresistible charms have awarded Bali as one of the world’s most visited holiday destination. With its tropical climate (temperatures averag-ing 31 degrees Celsius, 88 fahrenheit), Bali is warm all year round – which is perfect to explore its smoking vol-canoes, stepped rice fields, remote beaches, towering cliffs, famous surf breaks and the majestic thousand- year-old temples.
The hospitable and friendly natives of the Balinese and their way of life are by many considered as a magnet, inspir-ing those who have been in the island to go back again and those who have not to come.

Surfspots in Bali
MedewiMedewi is a perfect fun wave for all surfers. Come early to avoid onshore winds. The swell is generally smaller than at Kuta spots.
BalianBalian gets some swells and is a quiet place in north Bali. Its location that is close to the main road makes surfers can easily access this place.
Canggu & PererenanCanggu and Pererenan are places that most surfers will know about, with their larger than Kuta swells, sandy beach and not much else. Canggu however is becoming better known in tourist and expat circles.
Kuta ReefKuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is often working. May – October (Dry Season) is the best time of year for waves here.
BelanganThe reef in Belangan is close to shore and a short paddle out. Belangan is a very well-known break and can get very crowded in the peak season.
DreamlandDreamland is famous for its waves that can peel perfectly for hundreds of meters over the reef. The waves are also reserved for expert surfers only. Swimming here is advisable only on low tide.
BinginBingin gets very crowded through the peak season with only one small take off area. The wave itself is pretty mechanical, but short.
ImpossiblesImpossibles is the least crowded surfing area in Bali. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang, so if you are at either of those two places you can see what is happening at Impossibles.
Padang PadangPadang Padang only starts to work when a big swell is running. It is of an easy paddle out through the channel.
UluwatuThere are 4 different sections at Uluwatu: 1. Temples which is a long and hollow wave that works on the mid to high tide. 2. The Peak right in front of the warungs in line with the cave also best on the high tide. 3. Racetrack is a super fast with a barrel that works on the low tide, but gets seriously shallow. 4. Outside Corner is
A considered by many to be one of the best waves anywhere in the world. The corner won’t even start to break unless the swell is at least in the 8’ range.
Nyang-NyangNyang Nyang beach is known as one of great spot to surf in Bali. Hiding from the crowd of the people plus big and huge wave makes this beach like a secret paradise for the surfer.
Green BaliGreen Ball is situated at the bottom of a cliff. No worries going down but after you have been surfing for a couple of hours the return leg is a bit harder.
Nusa DuaTo get to this reef you have to drive in to the town itself and then weave your way south, there are a couple of other good waves in this area also, so it pays to do a bit of exploring.
Sri LankaNorth of Nusa Dua is Sri Lanka, a bowly right, which breaks into a deep water channel.
Sanur ReefSanur Reef is a sheltered reef break that only works once in a while. November - April (Wet Season) provides optimum time of year for the waves.
Padang GalakPadang Galak is a reliable rivermouth beach break north of Sanur. The surf break is quite popular here, but only works under certain conditions.
KetewelThe surfing crowd at Ketewel usually consists of locals and Japanese, including girls on body boards. Ketewel seemed like a place beginners/intermediates might enjoy, not people looking for epic surfing.
LebihThe surf break in Lebih is greatly affected by direction of the swell. Padang BaiPadang Bai has the flat-bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some walls.

Bargaining in Bali
1. No matter how much the vendors give as the opening price, you have to bargain for as much as half (or even less) of the price.
2. It is better for you to go to the shop that has everything: t-shirts, shorts, wood handicrafts, etc. By doing a one-stop shopping, which means you will buy quite a lot, it is easier for you to get a bigger discount.
3. Since there are ranges of shops offering pretty much the same things, you can always walk away from one shop to another if a deal cannot be reached. But walk slowly. Normally, if you offer a reasonable price on a bargain, in which the vendor can still make some profits and the price is good for you, the vendor would call you back to his/her shop as you walk away.
4. Try not to be not so apparent that you really want the thing you are looking at on a shop; the vendors are not stupid and can smell your desire, thus will take the advantage by putting the price high.
5. Tell the vendor that if he/she gives you a good price, than you will tell your other friends to shop from him/her.
6. Know the martket prices, or, pretend you do. By saying “I’ve seen this product before much cheaper” will probably lead to a cheaper price.
7. Last but not least: Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture and it should be a fun activity.
