Om Swastiastu...
When you go strolling around a traditional market on the island no matter whether it is
in Kuta, Ubud, or elsewhere you will nd stalls selling handcrafted art; from paintings
to statues, pottery to jewelry. It is easy to say no to these sellers when they offer you their
goods while you are walking by their stores, but once you see how these artists put their
hearts into creating each of the items, youll feel more connected to their creations and it
will be hard to resist buying them.
So this month we show you how some of these precious jewels and art are made,
and how each one of them has a story of its own. Flip through LIFESTYLE & LEISURE

BB: You have traveled all around the world, so where is the
most interesting place youve ever been?
S: I once worked in Oman, and lived in a palace which was
owned by the ruler of Oman. Not a terrible way to experience
the local culture.
BB: How good do you think your Indonesian language is?
S: It denitely needs improvement. Although I have a favorite
Indonesian phrase, mimpi manis. I always say it to my kids
every night.
BB: Talking about the resort, why do you think Benoa is the
perfect spot?
S: It is now easily accessed via the toll road from the airport.
Not to mention it has a nice beach and a perfect pathway all
the way to the Nusa Dua area. Weve been in love with this
area since the beginning.
BB: How would you describe the hotel?
S: This is a laid-back resort where everyone is relaxed and
friendly. In fact, we want the staff to be on a rst-name basis
with the guests. It is a perfect place for families as well. This
resort is denitely making a new standard on the island.

BB: If you have family or friends visiting Bali, where do you

take them?
S: The temples are denitely on the list as you can feel
the spirit of Balinese people and what this island means
to them. But for a day out with the children, I would
recommend the waterparks. Both Waterbom Bali and

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.
