Om Swastiastu...
In what seemed like no time at all, weve almost reached the end of Balis 2014 high
season. But in true Bali form it looks like well be going out with a bang, as there are
a number of fun parties scheduled for August! You need to look no further than this
edition to get the skinny on whats coming up.
Check out our SPECIAL FEATURE page for a quick list of some of the biggest parties
that were looking forward to. The list includes some regular weekly gatherings that are
also worth checking out all great opportunities to enjoy the tropical weather, listen to
awesome tunes, and mix and mingle. In PONDERING POINT, our contributor waxes
lyrical about his favorite places in Ubud to visit after dark. And for our male readers
who want to look their best before going out, we have an article on The BARBER in
Seminyak and their outstanding cut and shave services.
But this edition isnt just about parties, of course. Weve got an article about the joys
of free diving, and in celebration of Indonesias Independence Day on August 17 were
sharing with you a few of our favorite places to nd Indonesian sweets.
All this and more in this edition of BALI & BEYOND. We hope you enjoy ipping
through these pages for inspiration, and then going out and seizing the day! Enjoy the
sun, the sea and the sultry nights, and have a fabulous vacation here on the Island of
the Gods.

BALI&BEYOND AUGUST 2014 27
THIS SOCIAL BALINESE DANCE IS OFTEN DONE IN
PAIRS AND IS MEANT TO CELEBRATE JOY.
L
ong before the
introduction of modern
technology, the Balinese
enjoyed a way of life
that revolved around
agriculture. Their subak irrigation
system still exists to this day and is
recognized worldwide. Back in the
day, when the farming obligations
were all taken care of, dancing and
The Janger Dance
singing were outlets for the Balinese
to celebrate their joy.
Balinese dance was rst inspired
by nature, where the movements of
the dancers were very simple and
there was not an established pattern.
The dancers simply let their bodies
move with the rhythms of nature.
When Hinduism arrived on the
island, its inuence affected the
28 BALI&BEYOND AUGUST 2014
performance from his hometown.
This performance eventually inspired
the Balinese to create the Janger
dance.
To most Balinese, the Janger
dance is a way to relax. After a
day working out on the rice elds,
Balinese teenagers would gather
around and start the dance. Ten
boys and ten girls would line up into
a dance formation while singing
a song that represents joy and
happiness. Other teenagers and
the elders would gather around
them to enjoy the performance, the
movements reecting the tight bond
among the dancers.
As time has passed, the Janger
dance evolved into something more
important and serious. Now it is
local traditions and Balinese artistry
began to evolve into something more
structured. And when Buddhism
came, it was also incorporated into
the local arts without the Balinese art
itself losing its identity.
SOCIAL
BONDING
In the early 19
th
century one of the
most famous dances in Bali was
born, called Janger. About 10 P

couples perform the dance, and
the idea is to entertain not only
the crowd but also the dancers
themselves, and to tighten the bonds
among the dancers and society.
It is said that a long time ago
a man named Mbah Darji, who
originally hailed from Banyuwangi
in East Java, came to Bali to sell
cows. Bali became his second
home and during his time here he
introduced the locals to a theatrical

performed by Balinese in all parts of
the island, not just the teenagers.
Here are some unique facts
about the Janger dance:
In the Tabanan region there is an
extra dancer called the dag, whose
role is to lead the pairs. Usually he
wears a unique costume a Dutch
army costume and is responsible
for the ow of the dance.
In the Bangli region there is a
variation of the Janger dance, where
after the performance most of the
dancers will end up in a trance.

In Banyuwangi (East Java), there
is the Janger Banyuwangi, which is
a combination of the Janger dance
with a local theatrical performance.
The rst president of Indonesia,
the late Mr. Ir. Soekarno, was a big
fan of the Janger dance. It was often
performed for him at Tampaksiring
in Gianyar when he visited Bali.
In 1965, many Janger dancers
were suspected to be part of the
communist regime in Indonesia
and were thrown in jail by the
government of the time.
The year 1970 was the year of
revival for the Janger dance, when
the local government rekindled
Balinese excitement for the dance.

here is no shortage of
options when it comes to
nightlife in the southern
part of Bali. However,
there is one newcomer in
particular that has enjoyed quite the
buzz since opening back in April,
and it goes by the name of JENJA.
JENJA can be found within the TS
Suites building, which is in Seminyak
but not in Petitenget or on Kayu Aya
Street where most of Seminyaks
nightlife is centered. Regardless of
its unique location, JENJA can be
easily accessed from main roads like
Sunset and Raya Seminyak, so its
popularity continues to grow among
club enthusiasts.
Were predicting this popularity
will expand into the realm of
discerning diners as well, because

JENJA has not only a club but also
a dining venue that showcases
delicious Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean and Asian avors in a
stylish and sophisticated space. Read
on to learn more about this exciting
new addition to the Seminyak scene!
THE UPSTAIRS
JENJAs modern and eye-catching
interior is a sight to behold 12,000
interlinked and subtly lit teak battens
cover the ceiling of the restaurant,
and one wall features a large
mosaic of stained glass. The colors,
lighting and general atmosphere set
the tone for semi-casual dining and
the menu is ideal for sharing.
A long communal table serves as
the restaurants centerpiece. It sits
parallel to an open kitchen where
guests can see Executive Chef Selma

AbuAlia and her team in action.
Chef Selma is a former Top Chef
Middle East winner (2012), and
she says the experience has helped
her become more of a risk taker
in her occupation. She uses about
90% local products to create the
contemporary cuisine that stays true
to home-style recipes and avors.
Middle Eastern food is healthy,
light and organic, Chef Selma
explained. She takes pride in
creating rich yet healthy cuisine
and her innovative takes on Middle
Eastern dishes will be a delightful
surprise for diners. We have the
avor of soul food, but were taking
it up a notch and placing it in a
rened setting, she added.
A must-try is the Chicken Fateh
(akin to a soaked salad), which
comes with shredded chicken, garlic
lemon yoghurt sauce, chickpeas and
crispy pita bread (Rp. 50,000++).
As for desserts, she recommends the
Semolina doughnut balls with rosella
syrup, roasted almond akes and
chocolate mousse (Rp. 35,000++).
The restaurant will soon be re-
branded as Upstairs at JENJA to
differentiate it from the club. Upstairs
at JENJA is open daily from 6 p.m.
to 12 a.m. and bar service continues
until 2 a.m.
THE DOWNSTAIRS
We aim for a young, hip and
sophisticated crowd, says
Marketing Manager Lilis van Poorten
of JENJAs club clientele. On a
typical weekend night youll nd the

who are reminiscent of Jakarta club
goers, but with a laid-back Bali twist.
As is the case with many clubs in
the Seminyak area, there is a strict
No singlet and no ip-op policy.
The club is also 18+, which lends
an atmosphere that is more about
socializing and dancing rather than
rowdy partying. Most people cluster
around the square bar or go out to
the dance oor that lies between the
bar and the DJ booth.
Seating is available and theres
good news for those who want
a table there is no minimum
spending charge. All that is required
is the purchase of any bottle of
alcohol. But who wants to spend
time sitting around when theres
surround sound and dancing to be
had?

JENJA has quite the crowd
on Fridays and Saturdays for
Weekenders, where they present
the nest House and Techno music
by DJs Razor, Heidy, Wisdy, Mamsa
and friends. Bali partygoers love
their House music, so you can
expect the club to be packed on
these nights. There have even been
instances where the club has had to
close its doors after reaching its 350
pax limit.
On Thursdays the DJs play
House and Nu Disco, another
popular genre on the island. But
whats really worth noting is their
one-of-a-kind Wednesday program
called Urbanized. This is a night
dedicated to the best of Hip Hop
and RnB, presented by Resident
DJ Yoga Yin and special guests
DJs. These genres are a rarity
in Seminyak, and it looks like
partygoers are loving the refreshing
option, as JENJAs Wednesdays
have really been picking up steam.
Wednesday also happens to be
Ladies Night; so female patrons can
enjoy a 50% discount on all JENJA
Cocktails, all night long. These
divine drinks, concocted by the
famous Dr. Cocktail or Dee Cee, do
a great job at complementing Jenjas
unique ambiance.
The club operates Wednesdays
through Saturdays from 11 p.m.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays
the club stays open until 4 a.m.
while on weekends it stays open
as late as 5 a.m.

Lets ride!
A
wise person once said, Youll
never get old when you ride a
motorcycle. The rst time you
start the engine, your soul jumps
up happily. Once youre seated
all problems disappear. There are only two
things that matter: you and your ride.
Feel the wind blowing and the engine
roaring, and enjoy the always refreshing scenic
road. Bali undoubtedly has many beautiful and
amazing destinations. Some of the countryside
roads do not have any trafc at all. It is just
you and the scenery.
For instance, take a route to Bedugul and
youll nd rice elds and temples along the
way. The Royal Family Temple at Mengwi is
also worth visiting on the way to Bedugul. Stop
whenever you feel like taking a break and snap
some pictures of the majestic temple while
youre at it. Dont forget to see Lake Beratan
and its Lake Temple, a well preserved cultural
heritage.
If you love beaches, the southern part of
Bali has a number of beaches that you just
cant miss. The world famous Kuta Beach,
Tanjung Benoa, Sanur, Legian, Nusa Dua
and Tanah Lot are nothing short of amazing.
Whether you want to relax and enjoy the sun
at the beach or just stop by, this route offers
various places to eat, relax and have some
fun. The trafc can be heavy but you will not
be disappointed with what the beaches have
to offer.
Harley-Davidson is a brand whose
consistency never fails to produce the nest
touring experience. Every single part is
constructed and created by passionate motor
enthusiasts. Youll never forget the feeling of
sitting behind those handlebars.
You dont have to buy one to take a
ride in Bali. Dewata Harley-Davidson is
an authorized dealer of Harley-Davidson
in the area and provides various types of
Harley-Davidson motorcycles for rent. Pick
Sportster if you prefer a solo ride or choose a
Softail or Dyna for more power. When you
decide to ride with your beloved for a long trip,
the Touring family is perfect for you.
No membership or community permit is
needed to ride a Harley. All you need is a
valid drivers license for a big bike. Bringing
your own riding gear will always be more
comfortable, but no worries if you dont have
any. Dewata Harley-Davidson can provide
the proper gear for you. Located at Jalan By
Pass Ngurah Rai, Dewata Harley-Davidson
is easy to reach from the airport or hotels
around Denpasar.
The dealer provides genuine Harley-
Davidson products such as motorcycles,
parts and accessories, general merchandise
and Harley-Davidson motor rental. All the
Harley-Davidson stuff you need is available
at Dewata Harley-Davidson.
Bali is one of the most famous places for
international tourists, but Indonesia also has
many other beautiful places to visit. Medan,
as the one of the big cities in Sumatra, offers
unique scenery and a challenging route to
ride. Mabua Harley-Davidson Medan is an
authorized Harley-Davidson dealer in Medan
that offers motorcycle rental for you as well.

ust weeks after it opened
in November of last year,
Barbacoa with its striking glass
front and timbered dcor was
already the muy caliente new
place to go, buzzing with diners.
Fast forward to now and
Barbacoa is not only still buzzing
(the restaurant oor lls up fast for
dinner) but it has rmly cemented
itself amongst Greater Seminyaks
Bermuda Triangle of world-class
restaurants. Amongst its eclectic
crowd of diners, choosing to eat
here are an impressive clan of
off-duty chefs (based here and
abroad) and discerning hospitality
heavyweights.
This is no mean feat but not
surprising, given that its Executive
Chef and main creative force is
an ex-chef from Londons highly
acclaimed Michelin-starred Nobu
Restaurant. Australian Adam
Dundas-Taylor is part of a growing
wave of chefs with heavyweight
credentials hitting these shores.
The culinary concept at Barbacoa
is rare for Bali authentic Latin
American dishes originating
from Spain, Argentina, Peru and
Mexico, respectfully modernized
and tweaked for western palettes,
created with distinctive cooking
techniques and infused with subtle
twists.
Barbacoa translates as
barbecue, which is key here. As
if to underline the point, at the main
entrance next to the open kitchen are
sizzling open-style grills and ovens,
unashamedly visible. This includes
a horizontal grilling contraption
that resembles a Spanish inquisition
torture instrument (with a pig carcass
strung-upvegetarians look away
now) an Argentinean Asado, for
traditional grilled meat dishes.

Under a towering wood ceiling

sustainable woods, and daintily
painted oor tiles. On the vast oor,
dine on leather banquettes lining the

that range from a deux to group

Up the wrought-iron stairs, the

You can also dine at the
inherently sociable square-shaped
open bar, which provides plenty
of sit-up stools and a broad dining-
friendly counter. It is especially good
for singles, as you inevitably end up

very least, the attentive bar staff.
The Tequileria tally of Tequila

massive wooden front door pays
homage to the design of vintage

The small dishes or Plato
Pequeno (Rp. 50,000-135,000)
include the divine Spicy Peruvian-
style Snapper Ceviche, drowning in
a tangy, peppery sauce with crunchy
raw vegetables and sour pomelo

From the Woodre and Charcoal

Charcoal Grilled Prawns are smoked
to perfection, accentuated with chili
marinade and cooled with creamy
mashed avocado.
Also not to be missed is
Barbacoas Asado of the Day, where
meats such as lamb or even Balinese
suckling pig are grilled Asado-style
for eight-hours, resulting in insanely
tender meat served chopped on a
wooden board. Try one with a side
dish of Burnt Carrots grilled over
coffee wood and round it all off
with a dessert such as the Spanish
classic, Crme Catalan.
NOW OPEN
DAY & NIGHT
Originally for dinner-only, Barbacoa
has now gone daytime, launching
a lunch menu with lighter dishes
such as salads and tapas, while the
main menus will focus more on the
barbecued and smoked dishes.
Although a great pre-dinner
spot, many patrons head to the
bar after dinner, where its often
standing room only (especially on
weekend nights). Post-10 p.m., a DJ-
customized playlist kicks in, getting
everyone into the esta mood.
You never know who you may
bump into here Australian and
Indonesian celebrities (including
ex-Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins),
actors, models, photographers and
culinary types. But no matter who
you are, everyone is well looked
after by the personable Adam, who
darts between diners and the kitchen
most nights.
Barbacoa is open daily from
12 p.m. until late. Lunch goes from
12 to 3 p.m. and dinner starts at 6
p.m. with the last orders taken at 11
p.m. As Barbacoa comes with Latino
spontaneity, check their Facebook
page for special occasions and
themed parties, especially during the
high season when it really does get

OUR Q & A WITH
LONG-TIME BALI
RESIDENT JANET
DENEEFE, FOUNDER
AND DIRECTOR OF THE
INTERNATIONAL UBUD
WRITERS & READERS
FESTIVAL.
Bali & Beyond (BB): The Ubud
Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF)
was established after the tragic
Bali bombings of 2002. Aside from
showing the world that the island
was safe to visit, was there also the
intention to boost the local economy?
Janet DeNeefe (JD): The intention
was to boost on all levels, to boost
the economy, to boost the jaded
spirits of the people and to boost
Indonesian literature. It was such
a tragic time after the bombings
that I decided we needed to
create something that would bring
a positive change and make an
ongoing difference to the community.
BB: How has the Festival evolved
over the last 12 years?
JD: The Festival has grown in
every way. Our permanent staff
has increased dramatically, and
the program is richer and more
exciting than ever before. It really
has evolved into a fully-edged
arts festival with discussions about
literature playing alongside music,
dance, lm and theater. And each
year brings something new with
exciting additions to the program in
glorious venues.
BB: Would you divulge some of your
all-time favorite UWRF moments?
JD: The entire second Festival in
2005 will always remain one of my
favorite UWRF moments. Michael
Ondaatje and Amitav Ghosh
appeared and I was over the moon
about having writers of that caliber
joining us. Years later, picking up
Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka at
the airport was another favorite (if
not nerve-wracking) moment, as was
getting the Israeli author Etgar Keret
into the country. There have been all
sorts of other moments since then,
of course.
BB: Who can festival goers look
forward to interacting with at this
years UWRF?
JD: Once again we have an
extraordinary line-up of authors
this year, of all ages and genres
FOR THE LOVE OF THE
WRITTEN WORD
BALI&BEYOND AUGUST 2014 41
BB: Can you recommend some
noteworthy emerging Indonesian
authors? Do they have works in
English?
JD: The Rainbow Troops by Andrea
Hirata is one of my favorite
translated works, even though hes
not an emerging author any more.
The Festival anthologies are the best
places to read the work of rising
stars in English.
BB: Youve lived in Ubud for over 30
years. What do you love the most
about living in Bali?
JD: I love the community life in Bali
and the focus on family. And even
though I might complain about them
sometimes, the ceremonies offer a
from more than 25 countries,
including Nobel Laureate Sir VS
Naipaul, Festival favorite Amitav
Ghosh, Baileys Prize winner
Eimear McBride, travel writing great
Colin Thubron, publishing pioneer
Goenawan Mohamad, avant-garde
Chinese writer Can Xue, childrens
book icon Mem Fox and crime
ction queen Val McDermid, plus
many more. There truly will be
something for everyone.
BB: What do you hope participants
walk away with at the end of their
UWRF journey?
JD: I hope participants walk away
saturated with the magic of the
Festival; I hope they hear stories that
make them laugh and cry and that
challenge their view of the world. I
also hope their reading list is greatly
expanded and their luggage is
overowing with new books!
BB: Speaking of books, could you
name some that you think should be
on peoples summer reading list?
JD: I adored Akhil Sharmas
tragi-comic memoir Family Life.
Cyrus Mistrys DSC Prize-winning
Chronicle of a Corpse Bearer (we
are now in partnership with the
Prize) and his latest collection of
shorts Passion Flower are both
worthy inclusions. Rayya Elias
Harley Loco is a ride you wont
forget, as is Liam Piepers The
Feelgood Hit of the Year. All of
these authors are Festival-bound, of
course!
meaningful, spiritual diversion from
everyday life. A time to stop and
think. I also love the care that is
taken with people of all ages and
the inherent respect and kindness
that is shown. The human factor here
is extremely special.
BB: And nally, what are
your thoughts on Balis rapid
development? What are your hopes
and aspirations for Balis future?
JD: Thats the down side of tourism.
I wish we had the power to stop the
building, to stop the new wave of
ugly hotels. We can only hope that
Bali retains its magic despite the
onslaught of greedy developers.

then transformed into a space that
would take mens haircuts seriously.

range from haircuts, shaves, and
massages to other treatments such
as a gentlemens pedicure. But the
traditional barbershop experience
with shave, lather, hot towel, head
massage and cooling towel is a
must. When it comes to standards,
theres no need to worry about them
here. Hygiene and consistency of
treatment are core values at The
BARBER.
SIGNATURE
TREATMENTS

consists of a scissor cut, hot towel
traditional wet shave, hair wash with
scalp massage and aloe vera gel
(Rp. 250,000++). For the ultimate

60-minute signature massage plus the
Gentlemans Facial (Rp. 750,000++
for three hours).
The signature massage is a
combination of Javanese, Balinese
and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage
techniques, and the facial is followed
by a collagen mask. You even get
a Bintang beer to enjoy during your
treatment! This all-inclusive treatment
is the perfect deal, to say the least.
The BARBER also offers a proper
athletic massage that specically
targets muscle pain. This massage
focuses on areas of the body that are
overused and stressed from repetitive
and often aggressive movements.
Youll need to book this service
ahead of time however.
Already popular within the
expatriate local community, its
common to see a businessman in the
afternoon with laptop in tow having
hot stone reexology, or a father and
son visit. This is also a good place to
bring a groom and his groomsmen
before the big day at the altar.
The BARBER is open daily from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m, and The BARBER
can also set up the entire barbershop
at a venue of your choice for a
special event, for example to get
all the groomsmens hair cut at the
party venue.

For those of you who are slightly
unfamiliar with Ubud, let me explain.
Ubud truly is the cultural heart of
the island where thousands come
seeking well, whatever it is that
they are seeking. One can of course
blame Julia Roberts and the movie
Eat Pray Love for this, but for now
we shall forgive her (or maybe not!).
The journey to Ubud is a delight
as you meander through verdant
rice elds and the charming villages
that specialize in silver jewelry
manufacturing, wood carving, kite
making and the like. Then all too
soon, youve arrived.

its winding streets, enticing shops,
restaurants, quaint coffee houses
and museums (of which there are
many), there isnt much more you
could ask for.
However, I shall not wax lyrical
about the charms of this wonderful
town and the things to do in the
daylight hours. Rather, it is what
happens after dark that I would like
to talk about.
After the Ubud Palace and the
surrounding temples have been
visited, and the monkeys in the forest
have stolen your sunglasses or hat,
it is time to pop the kiddies into bed,
put on that special holiday nighttime
attire, and come out and play.
So, where to eat?
Whatever your taste preference
is, Ubud provides every culinary
experience you can think of.
Whether it be ne dining or simple
snacks, you dont have to look very
far, as the restaurants here have
gained an international reputation
for their exceptional cuisine. A visit
to Janet DeNeefes Indus Restaurant
is a must, as is Bridges and Caf
Wayan. However, it seems a little
unfair to concentrate on just a few of
the eating establishments in Ubud,
as each outlet strives for excellence
and in my humble opinion delivers
in spades.
Now that you have satised your
hunger and are suitably fed and
watered, it is time to shake those tail
feathers in some of the fabulous bars
that dot the streets.
The Laughing Buddha is a lively
tavern on Monkey Forest Road
where there is always an excellent
band playing to an appreciative
audience of locals and international
visitors alike.
A particular favorite of mine is
Caf Havana, which is a little like
stepping into Cuba for a while. The
simple dcor with walls covered in
messages from appreciative patrons
makes for a seriously relaxed setting.
One almost expects to run into a
Hemingway or a Che Guevara
sitting at the bar.
If the resident band doesnt get
you up and dancing to their South
American rhythms, then you had
better check your pulse. Here the
beers are always cold, the crowds
always lively, and the music will
encourage you to try out those long
forgotten salsa moves.
This cultural city would not be
complete without a visit to the
Jazz Caf Ubud, tucked away off
Hanoman Road. The food is great,
the chairs are comfortable and the
jazz sublime.
Many of the bars have early
closing times (midnight) so it is best
to get to the venues at about 9 p.m.
or earlier. However, there are one or
two clubs that kick on until the wee
hours. Seek and ye shall nd!
From a place that brings you a
myriad of festivals and gatherings,
Ubud really does have it all, and in
my opinion leaves Kuta and Legians
nightlife in the dust. But dont just
take my word for it. As they say, if
you never go, youll never know.

BUMBU NUSANTARA
This relaxing beachfront dining
venue in Nusa Dua offers an
authentic Indonesian menu, and
on certain occasions they even
serve a pasar senggol-style buffet
complete with carts and food stalls
(pasar senggol refers to traditional
night markets). The sweets at Bumbu
Nusantara are amazingly good
and very authentic, just like what
you would nd in the rural areas of
Indonesia.
A must-try is their kelepon, which
are rice cakes boiled and mixed
with pandan paste. This green
colored fragrant dessert is rolled in
shredded coconut and is reminiscent
of Japanese mochi. Beware of the
hot palm sugar inside, as it tends
to burst when you bite into it. This
delicacy is best paired with simple
teh poci, or traditional Indonesian
tea in a pot.
If you are a fan of cold desserts,
es teler might be a good choice for
you. Its a mix of jackfruit, avocado,
coconut, black jelly, sago pearls and
coconut milk, topped with shaved ice
and sprinkled with simple syrup and
condensed milk. Its really refreshing
on a hot day!
Bumbu Nusantara is open
for lunch and dinner, and we
recommend visiting in the afternoon
when the sun is not shining directly
overhead. Under the shade of the
trees you can take in the view of
Nusa Dua beachs azure blue water,
and you can even rent a sepeda
onthel, or classic bicycle from the
1940s. Photo sessions in traditional
outts are also available to guests.

CAF BATU JIMBAR
This bustling caf in Sanur holds an
event every Sunday from 10 a.m.
called the Sunday Market Brunch.
It is popular among tourists and
locals alike and youll be able to
nd everything from traditional crafts
to fresh vegetables and Indonesian
snacks, and of course Indonesian
sweets.
If the traditional Indonesian
markets are a little bit overwhelming
for you, this might be a better
option. You can get the feel of
an outdoor market here but with
comforts like the welcoming seating
area under shady trees. Caf Batu
Jimbar even puts a few fans out
to help cool down the area when
its hot.
Try their rujak buah, but proceed
with caution because you might nd
it a little bit spicy for your palette.
Indonesians love spicy food, and
even the desserts are not always
sweet. This spicy and sour fruit mix
usually consists of slices of jicama,
snake fruit and young mango. The
fruit slices are accompanied by a
mix of chili, vinegar, salt and dried
shrimp, which gives it its rich avor.
This is a food adventure and the
avors might surprise unsuspecting
tourists.
Caf Batu Jimbars Sunday
Market Brunch also offers Indonesian
food sold in a traditional market
style, so dont miss the all-time
favorite rice dishes of nasi kuning
and nasi campur and also a
delicious snack called risoles.

DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO TRY FREE

GINO ANDRIAS SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE
WITH FUSION FREEDIVING.
I
t was a balmy morning
when we gathered at Fusion
Freediving headquarters on
the shores of Amed, all looking
forward to meeting their
tight knit team.
Free diving is an underwater
activity that historians believe was
practiced as early as the Greek
glory days. Back in the day, a free
diver would do what is known as
hyperventilation, taking fast pace
breaths before taking one massive
breath and then diving.
But after some time and further
research, it was found that this
method is not only dangerous but
does not give the maximum effect
that you would expect. It actually
reduces the amount of available
oxygen to your muscles and organs.
Very intense hyperventilation reduces
blood pressure and in the end will
lead a diver to the point of fainting.
These days, a greater
understanding about health and
safety has changed peoples

approach to free diving and turned it
into a safe sport.
Its not about muscle or taking
one massively deep breath and
sinking yourself into the deepest
end, explained Kevin, a former
medic in the Royal Australian Army
and the main instructor at Fusion
Freediving.
The big difference between
scuba diving and free diving is
that commercial scuba divers can
easily spend their time enjoying
underwater scenery accompanied
by pressurized oxygen or even
enriched nitrox, while free divers use
the purest approach: one breath,
one drop.
While it may seem that free divers
have a shorter dive time compared
to their scuba counterparts, their
method is advantageous for spear
shing due to there being less
bubbles and less noise created
underwater.
Some other advantages include
more uid movement, ability to go
up and down as fast as you like,
very low chance of scuba related
dangers such as Decompression
sickness, and less disturbance of the
natural environment.

The concept of mind over matter
is denitely applicable in free diving.
Co-instructor Bostian explained that
what makes a free diving session go
awry usually originates from within,
for example when a free diver starts to
over think or enters into a nervous state.
Kevin emphasized the importance
of achieving and maintaining Zen a
peaceful state of mind with relaxed
and proper diaphragmatic breathing.
This activity is all about mental
preparation, proper breathing and
relaxation. Once you achieve this on
the surface, you already have 80%
of the preparation you need, and the
other 20% will take place underwater.
There comes a moment in free
diving when you are humbled by the
deep blue ocean, overcome by a
feeling of being incredibly tiny and
insignicant, but also one with the
ocean. With that feeling in mind,
you slowly come to realize that
we are all guests in the ocean and
should always ask permission to look
around, not come with the intention of
conquering it.
In respecting the sea, a good quote
to remember comes from the late U.S.
President John F. Kennedy: We are
tied to the ocean. And when we go
back to the sea, whether it is to sail
or to watch, we are going back from
whence we came.

THE BIG DURIAN
LOVE IT OR HATE IT, JAKARTA IS AN INTRIGUING
CITY THAT IS EVER-EVOLVING.
W
ith a plethora
of cafes,
restaurants,
malls and
amusement
parks, its easy to be swallowed up
by this city of more than 10 million
people. As you hit the streets, your
mind must focus on how to navigate
your way through the chaotic trafc
and arrive at your destination in one
piece. For that reason its easy to
miss the great cityscapes that Jakarta
has to offer.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The Jakarta that we know today
has a history that dates back almost
500 years. The city started off as
a humble trading port town called
Sunda Kelapa that was ruled
under the Sundanese kingdom of
Tarumanegara. The name was
then changed to Batavia during
the colonial era, but then changed
again when a general from the
Sultanate of Demak, Fatahillah,
conquered the city and changed its
name to Jayakarta, which is where
the name Jakarta is derived from.
Jakarta basically developed from
a compilation of various kampongs
or villages. Back then, these
kampongs generally represented
specic ethnic groups from different
parts of the country, and the
world, that have settled in the city
for generations. The kampongs
inhabitants can be identied by
their names like Kampung Melayu,
where most Malay settlers used to
live, or Kampung Makasar (now
called Makasar Subdistrict) where
the migrants from Makassar in South
Sulawesi came to settle.
THE METROPOLIS
Just like any other city, Jakarta grew
from the size of a small town to one
of the largest cities in the world.
The citys metropolitan area is now
known as Jabodetabek (a name
formed by combining the initial
syllables of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok,
Tangerang and Bekasi) with the
suburbs still continuing beyond that,
and a population of over 30 million
people according to the Brookings
Institute.
When I was on a ight in the 70s,
I remember approaching the former
international airport, Halim Perdana
Kusuma, and looking through
the window of the plane seeing
the expanse of densely packed
residential areas with orange clay-
roofed houses and only a handful
of skyscrapers. That was Jakartas
skyline 30 years ago. Since then, the
capitals skyline has changed and
developed so much, with highway
yovers cutting around and across a
swarm of tall buildings. Even though
the orange-roofed houses are still
visible, the number of skyscrapers
in Jakarta has grown exponentially.

towers and shopping malls have
pushed the city down the path of
becoming a great metropolis.
Nevertheless, some problems
still persist. The lack of mass
transportation is considered the
main major aw. With around 15
million people living in the urban
area and thousands commuting
from the suburbs and other outer
areas in the daytime, the need for
mass transportation is paramount.
Spending two to four hours a day to
commute has become a wearisome
task for many of the citys dwellers.
As an economic, cultural and
political center, Jakarta without
question acts like a giant magnet
for the 220 million people outside
of it. It is no wonder that as the
city develops in size, old problems
grow and new problems arise.
Housing problems, oods, mass
transportation, sanitation and the
ever-increasing trafc, just to mention
a few.
STAYING POSITIVE
However, Jakarta still posses
charm and an undeniable
attractiveness despite the mounting
problems. As much as one can
complain about the city, one still
loves it no matter what. The city
has become that annoying sibling
you have who will break your car
and steal the clothes off your back,
but you will still love them despite
the grief they caused you. What
Ive come to realize is that we
should all take a moment to enjoy
this great big city and take the
good with the bad. By doing so,
well more easily enjoy our time
here and go forth into the future
with enthusiasm and optimism.

HEALTH&MEDICAL
Call an ambulance by dialing 118, but it is a lot
more practical and quicker to hire a taxi. Most
hotels have on-call doctors on standby. For Bali
Belly, Lomotil and Imodium eliminate symptoms,
but not gastro-related infections. A fever along
with symptoms requires doctor-prescribed
antibiotics.
Drink as much liquid as possible. Isotonic
drinks under various brand names are widely
available and are known to replenish body
hydration and replace uids. For discomfort,
diarrhea and cramping, drink strong, hot tea;
avoid fruits and spicy foods.
Some day-biting mosquitoes carry dengue
fever, but this is not a problem in tourist areas.
Bali is non-malarial and prophylaxis is not
required. Mosquito bites, cuts or abrasions
easily become infected in the tropics. Treat them
immediately.
Drink only bottled or boiled water. Peel fruit
before eating; avoid raw vegetables except at
reputable restaurants. Ice in restaurants is safe.
Protect yourself from the intense equatorial sun.
Use high SPF sunblock and a hat.
AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases
are increasing in Indonesia. Local sex workers
have multiple partners from around the world.
They are not checked for sexually transmitted
diseases. Act responsibly and use condoms,
available over the counter at pharmacies.
