ON THE LOOKOUT

FIVE SUSPECTED TERRORISTS KILLED IN BALI

THE JAKARTAPOSTFive suspected terrorists were reportedly killed during police raids at two different sites late Sunday. Police have yet to issue an official statement on the nature of the raids and details on the casualties. The first raid took place at around 10:15 p.m. in a budget hotel, Laksmi, on Jl. Danau Poso 99X, Sanur. The area is known as one of the most famous red-light districts in Bali, where people can easily obtain a cheap room from staff at budget hotels who rarely ask for valid identification from their guests. Neighbors said that they heard a burst of gunfire at around that time. Three were killed here and another two in Soputan, Bali Legislative Council member I Made Arjaya, who lives 30 meters away from the site of the first raid, told The Jakarta Post. Soputan is a street in a densely-populated area in west Denpasar. A police source at the scene confirmed members of the group were believed to have been raising funds for terrorism via armed robberies. The five people are part of the group that masterminded the 2010 CIMB Niaga bank robbery in Medan [North Sumatra]. We have tailed them for months before we made the raids, the field operative, who wished to remain anonymous, said. Police had confiscated firearms, he said, and some intelligence reports suggested that the group intended to plan robberies in order to generate money for future terrorist activities. The police source refused to reveal further information as it could disrupt police investigations. Arjaya said that three suspected terrorists had rented a room in the budget hotel. Officers from the polices Densus 88 counterterrorism unit stormed the room and shot the suspects dead. They rented a room in this area probably because it is very easy to blend in here. Little did they know that the police had tailed them for several days, he said, adding that local leaders had been notified by police to increase their alertness prior to the raid. Bali Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Hariadi denied that the suspects were terrorists, describing them instead as professional robbers plotting to commit a heist. He said the suspects had been carrying firearms at the time of the raids. Earlier, Hariadi denied that there were six alleged terrorists who entered the island last month. Hariadi insisted that tighter security checks were aimed at reducing crime rates.

Bale Gong, an open pavilion in the yard of the villages Air Jeruk Temple, Gianyar, where the traditional musical ensemble gamelan is usually performed. The death toll from a series of natural disasters to have plagued Bali since early last week has now risen to 11. The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agencys (BMKG) Bali office reported that the powerful storm started pounding the island at around 11 p.m. At its peak, winds of 88.2 kilometers per hour destroyed trees, billboards and roofs throughout southern Bali. The Provincial Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) reported that 22 Hindu temples, two senior high schools (SMA 1 Kuta Utara and SMA 2 Mengwi), two hotels and villas, two food stalls, and dozens of houses were damaged.

The strong winds were followed by torrential rain and high tides that damaged an embankment at Canggu Beach. The windstorm damaged the roof of my house and the ensuing rain destroyed my book collection. The wind was so powerful it blew away all the paintings on my houses outer wall, said Intan Paramita Apsari, a resident of Kerobokan, North Kuta. Bad weather also forced the harbor authority to suspend ferry services at Gilimanuk Port, which connects Bali to Java, and Padangbai Port, which connects the island with Lombok, due to the high waves and strong currents. The BMKG official in charge of data and information, I Nyoman Gde Wiryajaya, said that Saturday nights disasters were triggered by the formation of extremely large cumulonimbus cloud above the island.

STORM KILLS TWO, CAUSES RP 2B DAMAGE

THE JAKARTAPOSTA powerful windstorm pounded the resort island for two hours late on Saturday night, claiming the lives of two men and inflicting damage amounting to Rp 2 billion (US$220,000). The casualties were identified as I Wayan Nada, 57, and I Made Sumarna, 60, both residents of Sukawati village. The men had taken shelter from the worsening weather at

PORTAL 2 LIFE-SIZE INFLATABLE SENTRY TURRET

Aperture Labs has something special lined up for all of you Portal 2 fans we are talking about a $24.99 Portal 2 Life-Size Inflatable Sentry Turret, where it can be inflated up to 40 of protective goodness. After all, you being a person full of hot air, would be able to huff and puff your way through this inflatable Sentry Turret in a jiffy, no? After all, with austerity measures being introduced across different governments and corporations worldwide, it would make sense that such Sentry Turrets take on a more portable and convenient method of transportation as they can be deflated when not in use. You can position it just about anywhere that you want it to protect, although its main function will probably be as effective as that of a scarecrow meaning, it works only once (or never), until someone figures out that there is no ammo at all with this. This is where you will need to practice your best rendition of Target acquired if you were to send folks scurrying around in fear.

INTERACTIVE 8-BIT QUESTION BLOCK LAMP

Those of you who are absolutely in love with what Nintendo has delivered via the Mario Bros. universe will definitely fall in love with this $74.99 fixture in your home coming in the form of the Interactive 8-bit Question Block Lamp. Taking up to 2 weeks to process an order simply because it needs to be built from scratch, this labor of love is custom made right from the get go, measuring 6 x 6 x 6, and is made out of laser-cut plexiglass. Inside, you will find energy-efficient LEDs running the show, while the lamp itself is light enough to be suspended from an integrated 11-foot power cord. It will work just about anywhere thanks to it being 100v-240v compatible, and there is also a custom acrylic stand sold separately if you prefer to place it by your bed. Unlike in the Mario video games, you need not punch this lamp, although a slow motion punching action that ends with a light touch will suffice in turning the lamp on or off. Each eighth time you toggle the light, you will be rewarded with a 1-Up noise, but standard punches will play back a classic coin noise.

Personal Trainer Commit to Get Fit! Part 1

PERSONAL TRAINER COMMIT TO GET FIT!

PART 1
I cant afford to have a personal trainer, right? Wrong! You cant afford NOT to have a personal trainer. Obesity rates are soaring. People around the world are becoming more and more inactive through sedentary work and lifestyles. Type 2 diabetes is commonplace. As quickly as these numbers soar, there is also a relationship to be made between low motivation and inspiration and a lowering of individuals challenge thresholds. We see the pounds creep onto the scales at first and then, unchecked, it can become a snowball effect as we agree with ourselves to get back into exercise later. For many, later never comes. And by the time the others agree with themselves its now time, the molehill has turned into a mountain. A personal trainer brings lots of tools to start, endure and complete the climb.
Commit then select.

like to be doing? Most PTs will offer a free trial session take them for a test drive. Chat. See if you connect. Check their credentials on paper but really, its in person where it counts.
Commit to the investment.

train hard. Maximise your precious time. Get the most that you can from your PT within that hour. Learn about exercise. Learn about your body. Ask questions. Your PT will record, evaluate and manage your challenges. The benefit will not only be the time effective workout sqeezed into a busy day, but also the value added take home benefits including the exercise afterburn* and the feel-good endorphins^ that will naturally happen in your body long after the workout has ended, are organic icing on the cake. So, the first step is committment. I hope youre not surprised. In Personal Trainer Part 2, we will explore the key things that you can expect your Personal Trainer to bring to this new relationship.
* Afterburn EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption). Or, the oxygen consumption, above resting level, that the body is utilising to return itself to its preexercise state. During this period extra calories are expended and this period can last for up to 848 hours! ^ Feel good endorphins Endorphins are the bodys natural feel-good chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your mood is boosted naturally. Exercise also releases adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals work together to make you feel good. Endorphins are referred to as the bodys natural pain-killer.

Budget is important but beware false ecomomies. Paying less does not necessarily mean a great deal. Remember the old saying you pay for what you get. Parting with your cash is one step to commitment. You now want to see a return on that investment, and this desire will help drive you and keep you coming back for more. PTs will often give you a discount to buy a pack of sessions. Do it! This isnt a short term thing. This is the kickstart you need to a better and healthier you. Think long term gain, long term change. The difference between this and all the wasted dollars spent on un-used gym memberships starts at the point below.

Pick your PT wisely, they must fit you. Watch them train others first. How do they interact? Is there good communication? Confidence? Does the session look like something you would

Once, twice or even three times a week, depending on your goals and how fast you want to achieve them. Because you have a locked in appointment, this will motivate and drive you to the session. Even better, the sheer act of paying someone for a service will probably be all the motivation you need to consistently show up. People are more apt to keep their appointments when they have paid for them in advance. The gym could be across the road but if you dont have to go, then you could always choose not to.

ost Indonesians know who Fahrani Empel is. For those not familiar, you cant exactly miss her. Exotically beautiful Fa (for short) bounds in for our meeting, 179cm tall and lean, displaying tasteful tattoos and platinum blonde hair setting off dusky skin. Even her dog is exotic, a monstrously large white Argentine Mastiff! Unsurprisingly, this Jakarta gal has been a model since 14, gracing

Milan, Paris and New York Fashion Weeks as an Indonesian supermodel. But theres more than meets the eye to Ms Empel and since we last met three years ago, shes acquired more impressive strings to her bow. At 28, Fa could still be an international model, but like the more intelligent ones, finds shes got all she can from modeling (although she still does occasion fashion

shoots for friends). As you get older, its not that important; I dont want to be stuck in modeling forever, besides Im now freed- up to follow other pursuits. An actress of TV and Indonesian films (winning Most Favourite Actress and Couple, Indonesian Movie Awards and Best Actress, Indonesian Film Festival, in 2008), after an 18-month break, her ninth film,

Ennui, is due for release. Although shes proud of this UFO-themed film, she admits, The earlier films were better! and while offered various film parts, shes holding out for quality scripts leading to an international acting career. When Director Oliver Stone was shooting in Indonesia, he apparently was looking for me; unfortunately, I was away at the time! With years of fashion experience, the designing bug inevitably blossomed and last year, Fa successfully launched her designer CAST sunglasses. I love designing sunglasses and its not too time-consuming. She designs new collections fresh, unisex, original and fashionable every six months. CAST now retails in selected stores worldwide including Hong Kong, Milan, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Australia and Bali, priced from US$200300. Fa is also a stylist and produces music videos for friends, neatly fitting-in with her modeling-acting background and tricks learnt in front of the camera. Javanese Fa has lived in Bali for seven years, but other far-flung places lure personally and professionally. She still plans to spend several months a year in Bali (Bali will always be home) but continue spending summers in Australia (Great creative energy, lots of stuff going on) time in New York and make artistically vibrant Berlin her new base: I like the five Bs: Brooklyn, Bali, Bondi, Borneo and Berlin!

However, its Borneo which seems to have given her renewed direction. A chance reading of an article in Australia, led Fa to get involved in Project Borneo, applying via an on-line video to become an Action Agent, helping save the Indonesian rainforest and educate people globally on this urgent cause. Indonesias forests are the worlds lungs, yet its deforestation is the worst, with forests cut down at the speed of 300 football fields per hour Fa laments. From 150 applicants, Fa emerged as one of the 15 selected finalists: last September, these international ecowarriors spent around 20 days in the heart of Indonesias Borneo rainforests, part of pioneering DeforestACTION project, trying to stop the relentless deforestation, working with local Dayak communities and activists and followed on-line by like-minded students and supporters worldwide. Fa returns to Borneo in April for two more months, followed by subsequent follow-up trips, continuing this pioneering project which includes developing a sustainable model eco-village and rescuing displaced orang-utans: This is a long-term project. Its my country, so if I can create awareness and educate all those young kids, it may make a difference; kids are our future. Look-out for

Australian-produced feature documentary, 100 Days in the Jungle: Project Borneo 3D, released worldwide 2013. Asia-Pacifics largest, most ambitious documentary project ever created, documents these eco-warriors 100 days in the rainforest revealing their challenging, gruelling and rewarding work through DeforestACTION. The fashion and movie industry is great for networking, admits Fa. The rainforest urgently requires serious money donations, so hopefully I can create awareness through my contacts. A portion of proceeds from her CAST Heart Borneo Collection, with limited edition sunglasses, will go towards Project Borneo. Maybe its in the blood her father is from Borneos Kalimantan but Borneo is now her big passion: Ive found my spiritual answer with Project Borneo, helping others, not thinking just of myself! enthuses this beautiful inside-out eco-warrior.

Board, Stupid!

BOARD, STUPID!
by Katie Truman

Bali now hits its peak surfing season, high time to don your boardies, wax your board and brush-up on your surfing skills and surfie jargon

urf s up, dude! Its April, so it must be the start of the glorious dry season and when Balis surfing season really gets into full swing. Unless youre seriously unobservant, youll know Bali is one of the worlds top surfing destinations. This islands volcanic reef-fringed coastline produces the perfect surfing playground for veterans, experienced and beginners, with reef breaks, lagoons and varying conditions creating some of the worlds best waves, including an usually high number of textbook, consistent tubes. Indonesias tropical climate means the water is always warm enough and although there are two seasons, you can still surf all-year round by simply switching coasts unlike other islands, never too far to travel. Contrary to popular folklore, that Australian surfers were the first to discover Balis awesome waves in the 1960s-1970s, these beauts were already being surfed by both foreign and Balinese surfers as early as the 1930s! Pivotal to this, Kutas famed beach and (allegedly) Californian Bob Koke, who opened the Bali Hotel on Kuta Beach and brought with him his Hawaiian long board.

The rest is history, although surfing didnt immediately catch on. However surfers, especially Australians, started to trickle into Bali from the 1960s, when more breaks, such as the Bukit Peninsula arguably Balis most spectacular were discovered. Kuta is where it all started and perhaps Balis most recognized surfing beach; surfers can also head out to Kutas outer reefs on hired fishing boats. Further up the South-west coast, Canggu is another longrunning Mecca for the international surfing community. But its waves off the Bukit Peninsula (southern Bali), which are regarded as some of the worlds finest, guaranteed to get any seriously experienced surfer in a tizzy, with a selection of left- hand and right-hand breaks on either side Breaking on shallow reefs, Balis most challenging, biggest waves, with its lovely long tubes drawing the worlds top surfers, are found at legendary Uluwatu, off western Bukit with surfing hotspots Padang Padang, Balangan, Suluban, Bingin/ Impossible and Dreamland (home of some of Balis most dazzling white

beaches.) It was those intrepid international surfers of the 70s who first put this area on the surfing map. Experienced surfers should also check-out breaks at Nusa Dua and Nusa Lembongan. During the peak, dry season (April-October) trade winds favour surfing Balis western coast, including western Bukit breaks at their finest, plus Kuta and Canggu. During the wet season (November-March) tides and winds make the eastern coast a prime surf spot, including Nusa Dua, Serangan and Sanur the latter, producing perfect right-handers, resulting in long hollow waves at high tide. Bali is also the ideal place to learn to surf, with Kuta and neighbouring Legian (Padma and Double-Six) beaches for the ultimate beginners wave best in dry season. These provide a fun, safe learning environment, with long sandy beaches and shallow waters, plus plenty of people and life-guards on hand. You can almost trip over the succession of local and international-backed surf schools, board rental and impromptu lessons by the

beach boys. If you think its just a guy thing, however, Balis first Surf and Yoga Retreat, Surf Goddess Retreat, opened 2003 in Seminyak, now regarded as one of the worlds premier female surf camps: weeklong surf lessons come supplemented with luxurious villa base, spa and yoga sessions plus gourmet food! If this all sounds too exhausting, Bali hosts several surfing competitions throughout the year, where you can watch the magic with chilled beer in hand. Youve just missed Oakley Pro 2012, annual opening event for Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship Tour, at Canggu Beach (April 1- 14), but future events include Quiksilvers Pro Uluwatu (August 13-19), Oakley ASP Mens and Womens World Junior Tour (October 6-17) and 2012 Rip Curl South-east Asia GromSearch series, a global on-going search for the most talented under-16 surfers (Grommets) across South-east Asia. GromSearch Round #3 will be held at Padma Beach (June 10th) followed by GromSearch South-east Asian Finals at Kuta, during the annual RipCurl Surf and Music Festival (October 20- 21).

Bali Street Dogs Foundation

Bali Street Dogs Foundation

PAWS FOR THOUGHT

by Mary Tudor

If

like me, you were visiting Bali years ago, youll remember the downside of paradise: hounded (literally) by packs of threatening dogs and running for dear life! Since then, Balis canine situation seems to have improved, with less (scary) dogs around: statistics back this up, with the islands dog population down from one million to approximately 300,000. In some parts, especially touristed areas, dogs generally appear healthier, some even wearing collars. Of course, widespread problems still exist, but progress so far is largely thanks to the efforts of organizations like Yudisthira Swarga Foundation.

Founded in Denpasar in 1998 by veterinarians and other professionals, Yudisthira Swarga /Bali Street Dogs Foundation (BSDF) is a non-profit animal welfare organization, the first Indonesian foundation to take care of Balis street dogs and one of only a few fully legal non-profit entities working with strays. Now chiefly overseen by one of the original founders, veterinarian, Dr. Annie Ayu Gusti, BSDFs small office and veterinary clinic is based in Kerobokan. Dogs are important in Balinese culture, reflected in the islands high dog population.

Although they look like strays many are considered community dogs, but roam the streets looking for food. Most are in bad health and condition: malnourished, suffering from infected wounds, skin diseases, parasites, viruses, and distemper even dislocated joints. Additionally, unwanted puppies are abandoned in public areas. BSDFs vision is to improve animal welfare in Bali and Indonesia; as part of a long-term solution, their mission is population management and promoting and raising awareness about animal welfare

through education and campaigns in local communities, schools, universities and government. Their Mobile Clinic Programme provides triage-method medical treatment and vaccinations, sterilization de-worming, medications and humane stray dog catching methods. This is the most effective way, as well as love. give dogs love! Dr. Annie confirms. Since 2009, BDSF also handles stray cats. When rabies broke out across the island in 2008, the Indonesian government pursued a culling policy; with Healing not killing mantra, BSDF however never supported this solution. Rabies is now under control, but BSDF still commits to working with the government to stamp out this fatal disease, vaccinating community and stray dogs, cats and monkeys and ensuring humane methods of animal handling and eradication are used. BDSF also responds to community requests to deal with animals that may be rabies suspect, taking away the animal for observation and quarantine an emergency telephone number is provided. With education, people now know how to handle the situation and call us, states Dr. Annie. The emergency line still operates, but not used so much now as the rabies situation is declining. To a lesser extent, BSDF has also been involved in Farm Animal Welfare, trying to stop inhuman animal treatment in markets, factory farming and slaughterhouses. Recently, BSDF joined forces with the government for projects in Sanur and Canggu, within these areas educating school children and communities about how to love and care for animals, cope with sick animals, plus carrying out sterilization and vaccinations programmes. Dr. Annie has seen Balis dog situation greatly improve over the years: There are less stray, wild dogs, less rabies cases and locals know

how to look after dogs better, especially children. In Bali, dogs are mainly regarded as security and left outside but now slowly some locals are bringing them into the home and treating them more humanely. After helping others, ironically, BSDF needs help itself, due to dwindling funds. Besides the government and BAWA, previously BSDF has worked with animal organizations such as IFAW and WSPA and up until five years ago was funded by WSPA and Sydneys Bali Street Dogs Fund. Now BSDF must rely on private donations, income from T-shirts and their veterinary clinic mainly used by locals with limited budgets. For Dr. Annie, a lovely, big-hearted lady who takes stray dogs and cats into her own home, BSDF is obviously a huge personal cause, but projects have had to be reduced and its a struggle to keep going: Ill go crazy if we have to shut down! she says. And so too would many dogs and cats.

RESTAURANT

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

WANT SHRIMP?

f you like themed restaurants, youll probably enjoy the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., an international chain restaurant based on the 1994 movie, Forrest Gump. Well, though the restaurant is not loosely based on the movie, it has everything but Tom Hanks in leg braces. Anyway, all over the world, Bubba Gump is known for their shrimp; on the menu youll find great options of shrimp including fresh fish and much more! We recently had the pleasure to dine at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Kuta, the only Bubba Gump restaurant in Indonesia. Signs, movie memorabilia and license plates adorning the walls screaming famous Gump quotes were scattered around at the restaurant, creating fun and casual atmosphere.

The restaurant was clean, but very lively and we must admit to not being able to look around very much because it was so packed. The atmosphere is fast paced and always on the run, In fact, to get your waiter/waitresses attention there are license plate-size signs on the tables, reading Run Forest Run or Stop Forest Stop. When we were finally seated, our showed us their system for requesting something. The sign that says Run, Forrest, Run is meant to alert the staff that you dont need anything; but if you need something (a drink refill, or anything at all) you flip the sign to the one that says Stop, Forrest, Stop. When this sign is showing someone will stop and see what you need. We personally think that all

restaurants should adopt this idea because sometimes its pretty hard to get the attention of any staffer in some restaurants. The menu was laid out well and detailed; Bubba Gump has the ultimate seafood you have always wanted. Our appetizer, the Cajun Shrimp (IDR 85,000) was splendid. The sauted shrimp in a spicy Cajun butter sauce and served with garlic bread for dipping really could stop any serious conversation. Speaking of shrimp, our mind was blown further away when the Shrimpers Heaven arrived on our table. The combination of hush pups, dynamite shrimp, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp skewer, fries and, of course, dipping sauce was certainly a genius creation.

The sign that says Run, Forrest, Run is meant to alert the staff that you dont need anything; but if you need something (a drink refill, or anything at all) you flip the sign to the one that says Stop, Forrest, Stop.

For those non-seafood lovers, Bubba Gump has what they call with Dixie Style Baby Back Ribs (slow roasted pork ribs with French fries). And, as the restaurants name says it, you can have your ribs topped with a shrimp combo. The dessert we had, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae, Forrest Size (Large) and Lil Forrest Size (Small), worked just great. The warm, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel, chocolate, peanuts and whipped cream was a superb way to end your feast. Also a must-try at Bubba Gump is the Hand Shaken Cocktails this is literally a heart attack material. That said, be prepared to have the restaurants staff members swarming you, chanting and dancing the Kecak dance every time you order the Pomegrande Margarita or any other item from the list.

We really recommend this restaurant for some great shrimp or other seafood and for the wonderful atmosphere that surrounds you. If you were a fan of the Forrest Gump movie youll enjoy the restaurant even more! If this is your first time to Bali, you must ask your hotel staff or anybody for that matter about this restaurant.

Goa Gajah

GOA GAJAH
The Elephant Cave Goa Gajah is situated on a steep bank to the side of the main road in the Banjar of Goa, Bedaulu Village in the area of Blahbatuh, Gianyar. It is approximately twenty-six kilometres from Denpasar and is easy to find as it is by the side of the main road, just East of the crossroads in Teges village. The countryside here is very beautiful and the cave itself is a very important archaeological site, as it holds the remains of an ancient Buddhist monument. These remains are thought to be of the same era as the grand Borobudur temple in central Java. Also the site holds relics of the God Shiva.

The origins of the name Goa Gajah are uncertain. Some claim that the name comes from the world Lwa Gajah recorded in ancient Javanese writings saying the cave was the home of an important Buddhist priest. Another opinion suggests that the name originates from the statue of Gannesha which is located in the western corner of the cave, part of the statue being an elephants trunk. The history of Goa Gajah can be seen from the ancient remains at the site. Besides Shivaist relics found inside the cave, there are several Buddhist remains such as the statues of Buddha and Harito. These remains appear to be of the same style as the statues found in Borobudur temple, which originates in the eighth century.

Also in the cave can be found the written words kumon and sahy which typifies the square shaped writing of the Kediri from East Java. So the Elephant Cave appears to have been the centre of religious worship of the God Shiva. In the courtyard in the front of the cave are two square bathing pools with water gushing into them from waterspouts held by six female figures. To the left of the cave entrance, in a small pavilion is a statue of Hariti surrounded by children. The origin of the cave are uncertain, one tale relates that it was created by the mighty fingernails of the legendary giant Kebo Iwa. Originally the name of Goa Gajah is derived from Lwa Gajah, the former name of the river near the cave, the recent name being Petanu River. Goa Gajah Temple is one of Balis favorite places to visit by tourists.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN VISITING BALI

Say What?
HOW ARE YOU Apa kabar? FINE, THANK YOU Baik, Terima Kasih GOOD MORNING Selamat Pagi GOOD AFTERNOON (< 3 PM) Selamat Siang

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

GOOD AFTERNOON (> 3 PM) Selamat Sore GOOD EVENING Selamat Malam SEE YOU LATER Sampai Nanti EXCUSE ME / SORRY Permisi / Maaf

YES / NO Ya / Tidak LEFT / RIGHT Kiri / Kanan I AM HUNGRY / I AM THIRSTY Saya Lapar / Saya Haus WHERE IS THE HOTEL? Di mana hotel?

Temple Tips

The rules at major temples are usually written in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. When in doubt, allow your etiquette and good sense to prevail! Do enjoy your visits to the temples.

Except on rare occasions anyone can enter, anytime. You should always wear a temple scarfa sash tied loosely around your waist. Many of the larger, more tourist temples rent them out. You can also buy one for IDR 50,000 or less. Youll soon regain the cost if you visit a few temples and its a nice thing to have when visiting temple where sashes are not available for rent. Priests should be shown some respect, particularly at festival. Theyre the most important people and should, therefore, be on the highest plane. Dont put yourself higher than them by climbing up a wall to take photographs. Menstruating women are not allowed to enter a temple. At the Holy Spring Water Temple (Pura Tirta Empul), no nude bathing is allowed. Bathing using shampoo, soap and toothpaste are not permitted. Nearly every temple (or other site of interest to tourists) will charge an entrance fee or ask for donation from foreignersany non-Balinese (including the non-Balinese Indonesians) are a foreigner.

The Currency

The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is more or less similar to other countries currencies; the bank note is paper money and coins. The largest banknote is 100,000. Next in the series are 50,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2000 and finally 1,000. A chronic shortage of small changeits not unusual to get a few pieces of candy back instead of coinshas been to some extent alleviated by new plasticky aluminum coins, available in denominations of 500, 200, 100, 50 and 25. The Central Bank has also recently released a new silvery coin of 1,000. The older golden metallic versions are also still floating around.

IMPORTANT! To avoid a mistake when you do transaction, do not confuse IDR 100,000 note with the one of IDR 10,000 because they look similar. The dominant color of the IDR 10,000 note is purple with the picture of traditional house architecture on the backside. Color of the IDR 100,000 note is dominated by red pink with the picture of the Indonesia Parliament Building on the backside. Double-check before you leave money changer to ensure you get the correct amount. Make sure you come to the authorized money changer with exact rates as offered. ATM may help you much to control your cash flow.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN VISITING BALI

How Much?
STOP CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU Many people hesitate to bargain because they don't want to seem cheap or argumentative. But are you really willing to pay top dollar just so you can preserve the esteem of total strangers? You're only meeting them this once, and you'll probably never meet them again. PICK YOUR BATTLES WISELY Dont say how much you want to pay for an item unless its near the end of the process. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price. Don't waste fifteen minutes of bargaining over one dollar, or else you could easily spend a whole hour of shopping time just saving a measly four dollars! SET YOUR STANDARDS Determine what price you consider to be a great deal, a good deal, a mediocre deal, and no deal. When you begin to negotiate, you'll start with your "great deal" price and the seller will probably offer the "mediocre deal". Your goal is to bargain your way to a good dealthe closer to your "great deal" price, the better. SHOW HESITATION ABOUT BUYING THE PRODUCT Even if it's the perfect item, the moment the seller sees that wistful look in your eyes, they'll know they've got the upper hand. Appear interested, as if you're willing to buy the product if the price is right, but you can certainly live without it as well. When the seller tells you the price, say "Hm I don't know". PRETEND TO CONSULT WITH A RELUCTANT PARTNER When the seller makes an offer that is almost what you want, look distressed and say "Oh, okay. Well, let me ask my husband/wife/

Bargaining is the rule here in Baliat least at the many markets and back-street stalls. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar with it we'd like to offer you some advice. The tips here are Bali-specific but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.

mother/father/friend. I've been dying to get one of these for months now, but they keep saying it's too expensive." If you have a cell phone, pull it out and call your partner in crime, or even fake the call if you have to. BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY Bargaining is all about knowing how long to stick it out to be satisfied and when you need to walk away to look somewhere else for a better price. Don't be afraid to walk away from the shop. Often, the salesperson will call you, telling you they'll give you a better price or deal. BE HAPPY You need to smile throughout the bargaining process. The seller is much more likely to continue bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry rarely gets you the price you want.

The repeat visitors know the knack of enjoying Bali cheaply. However, if this is your first time to Bali and you think that your money has been fully spent and prices turn out not to be as cheap, heres some general illustrations about how much to spend on an item (you need to bargain, of course). Fake sunglasses (Rayban, Oakley): IDR 25,00030,000 Small Bintang beer: IDR 15,00030,000 (depending on venue) Beach sarong: IDR 30,000 DVD: IDR 10,000 per piece (non-original) Beach massage: IDR 50,000 per hour Marlboro: IDR 11,500IDR 12,000 (better get it from Circle K) Nasi Lawar (traditional Balinese food): IDR 6,00010,000

Squat Toilet

Its very likely for you to encounter a squat toilet (otherwise known as a squatty potty) in Bali. Dont be so shocked about; in fact, a lot of peoplenot necessarily Balinesefind squatting to be the most natural way to have a go. Yet it can be an intimidating (and messy) task if youve never done it before. Sure, the explicitness of these instructions might make you a little uncomfortable, but not nearly as uncomfortable as itd be to ask someone how to use a squat toilet, or walk away from one with a mess on the floor and on your clothes. DO YOUR BUSINESS If youre defecating, it should be relatively straightforward. In fact, some research suggests that going to the bathroom in the squatting position is better for your health in a variety of ways. RINSE OR WIPE If you have your own toilet paper, use it, and dont throw it in the toilet when youre done; most squat toilets will get clogged. If theres a bucket of water nearby, use your right hand to pour it on yourself and use your left hand to cleanse. (This is why in Bali, people dont shake hands or eat with their left hands). Then rinse off your left hand. Dry off with toilet paper or fabric. FLUSH If theres a flushing mechanism, this part will be quite obvious: push the button, pull the string, whatever. Otherwise, pour water into the toilet until any remnants of your business are gone.

BRING YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER Squat toilets are common in Bali, but free toilet paper isnt. It might not be necessary, as youll see in later steps. But, if this is one luxury youre unwilling to do without, bring a bag with you too. There might not be a trash can for used toilet paper, and squat toilets arent designed for anything but bodily excretions. Youll want to put the used toilet paper in a bag until you can find a trash can. Even if you dont bring toilet paper, bring something to dry off with. POUR A LITTLE BIT OF WATER IN THE TOILET Squat toilet doesnt normally have flushing mechanism; moistening the surface of the toilet will make it easier to clean off when youre done. There should be a bucket nearby full of water. PULL DOWN YOUR PANTS OR LIFT UP YOUR SKIRT Be careful not to let your clothes touch the floor or get in the way. The direction in which you face will depend on the kind of squat toilet youre using. Frankly, it doesnt really matter, as long as everything lands in the hole.
