Safety Tips!
Always do stretching and warming up prior to a run.
Wear suitable running shoes.
No heavy running gears for a more comfortable run.
Have an energizing meal two hours prior to the run.
Never push yourself to run if you are not well.
Always stretch and cool down after the run.
Be familiar with your running route. When you are running on the side
of a road, run in the opposite direction of traffic to minimize accidents
Always wear light straps for safety when you run on the road at night.
Be very careful when running with headphones.
Try to keep the volume down.
Keep yourself hydrated to avoid heat strokes and severe fluid loss.

BALI&BEYOND MARCH 2015

THE JEWELS OF
THE ISLAND
Balinese photographer Dewandra Djelantik has been in love with
photography since he was a child, but he never planned let alone dreamt of
being a professional. But ever since he started his career as a photographer
in 2004, everything has just owed. Now Dewandra is an A-list
photographer on the island with clients ranging from top local fashion brands
to ve-star hotels, restaurants, and more. Photography may have changed
his world, but it doesnt mean hes forgotten about the beauty of his roots.
For him, the gem of Bali is actually its beautiful culture, which is very much
inuenced by Hindu values and that includes nature and all the people,
not to mention their classy traditional clothes. Using Fuji XT 1 and other Fuji
X series cameras, he has captured these precious stones of Bali that are also
published in a photo book by Fujilm titled Indonesia X Fotogra.

The Twin Falls at Gitgit are easily
found by seeing the large clear

down the steeply winding route from
Bedugul to Singaraja.
The falls are about 18-meters high
and nestled within a rock cavern,
making it quite a unique sight.
Access from the carpark requires
a 20-minute walk along a wellconstructed walkway. There are a
number of small warungs along the
way for snacks and other interesting
stuff, such as locally grown herbs
and spices of all varieties.

It takes around an hour and

the morning and relish the paradise
all to yourself.

ALINGALING FALLS,
SINGARAJA
Location: -8.175569,115.104566
It takes less than 20 minutes
from central Singaraja to get to
AlingAling Falls. From the carpark
it takes around 30 minutes the
last part being a steep 150 stairs
down to the river gorge and to
the waterfall proper. Children will
require some help.
These falls are 50 meter high and
are in a spectacular gorge setting.
The jungle and rice elds around are
wowing, and theres a trek further
down along the gorge to more falls
and swimming spots do ask for a
guide to take you there.
The area is kept quite clean from
rubbish, which is a credit to the staff
who run the carpark and act as
guides should you need assistance.

The walk from the carpark to the

of chasing waterfalls in Bali

Nearly all guidebooks

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.
