BALI THE RIGHT WAY

Gday again folks and welcome to the weekly for another run. It
seems the last few weeks in the A.F.L tote has hotted up to the point
that bloody Richmond have knocked the Mighty Pies out of the
eight with only a few weeks to go before the finals series starts. The
weekend just passed was a great weekend to kick back and watch
footy with the Pies getting a good win and as much as I dont want to
admit it, so did Richmond. The weekend that is on the way has
aliasj@kutaweekly.com
drawn a few crappy games as in the Pies getting a do or die situation
with the Hawks, and Richmond will definitely be doing some hard yards when they face Sydney on
Saturday. At the end of the day the players are about as fit as they possibly can be which brings it down to
team management and method. I hope the best teams win and the big cup goes to the best men this season.
Ok folks, moving along this week I think there are a few new sponsors that need to be said hello to and
thanked for jumping on board with us at the weekly, as without these people working with us, there simply
put, would not be a decent newspaper for you to read each week. The first on the welcome list this week is
AP INN or Agung Putra Hotel, which is a true Balinese hotel right in the heart of Poppies Lane One. Mr
Agung has recently renovated the complex and if you want to stay somewhere that is about as Balinese as
you can get, then you are at the right place. The AP INN has pools with a few bars and restaurants
including a pro pool table with some of the best Balinese food on their menus going in the area. The AP
INN is close to everything and is a real value rated hotel for the budget conscious traveller. You can get
the contact details for the hotel on page 40 as the AP INN sponsors the All About Bali page within our
pages which each week highlights specific things that are happening or will be happening in Bali. The
page covers cultural beliefs and happenings in a Hindu land. There is a more informative half page advert
for the hotel on page 30. Again we thank Mr Agung for the support and trust that him and his management
group ASANA, keep up the
good work and look after all
our readers when they are
looking for a place to stay in
the area.

Coming Bubble for Condotels in Bali?

Bali to Soon Have
13,000 Condotel
Units
Bisnis Indonesia
reports in its July 17,
2014 edition that
developers of
Condominium Hotels
(Condotels) in Bali
need to take into
consideration the
trend of declining
occupancies being
experienced by hotels.
A study from the
Research and Advisory division
of Cushman & Wakefield
Indonesia estimates there are
currently 5,000 Condotel Units
operating in Bali with an
additional 8,000 Condotel units
expected to come on line in the
coming few years.

The study calculates that

29% of all Condotel units can be
found in Legian and Seminyak,
24% in Jimbaran, 14% in Nusa
Dua and the remaining 33% in
other locations on the Island.
Cushman & Waverly
predicts that Condotel
developers will be offering extra

points and other

incentives to condotel
purchasers, enhanced
return on investment
schemes and options
for profit shares after
tguarantee periods
have ended.
Condotel sales
estimated at 93% of
available unite may
decline over the coming
years due to robust
development.
To be watched
with keen interest is the resale
value of Bali's first generation of
condotels to determine theses
units true market value as an
investment in an arguably
oversupplied market.

Ok Punters thats about all the

room I can get away with this
week so it seems again I must
leave you with whatever it is
that you do with your time
here. I trust that the most of you
stay safe, happy, healthy and
always try your best to

Joko Widodo & Jusuf

of Presidential-Vice
Presidential Race by
I n d o n e s i a n
Constitutional
Court
On Thursday,
August 21, 2014,
the Indonesian
Constitutional
Court (MK) rejected
challenges made to
the results of the
J u l y
9 t h
presidential
election made by
Prabowo Subianto
and Hatta Rajasa.
Prabowo's
defeat in both the
polls and the
election appeal process have
cleared the way for Joko
Widodo and Jusuf Kalla to
assume, respectively, the
presidency and vicepresidency of the Republic on
October 20, 2014.
The Court found the
objections and anomalies cited
by Prabowo's election team

insufficient to nullify the

results of the poll or call a new
election.
Clashes were reported on
the streets of Jakarta as the MK
took six-hours to read their
decision affirming Joko

Widodo's election. Dozens

were sent to the hospital with
minor injuries and for tear gas
irritation.
Bemoaning the quality of
the election process, Prabowo
Subianto has refused to offer a

The Naked Festival of Japan

Joko Widodo has

promised that his presidential
cabinet will depart from the
assortment of political hacks
selected for their political party
association rather than any
professional expertise. To the
delight of many,
W i d o d o i s
expected to
a p p o i n t
professionally
qualified and highly
skilled technocrats
needed to achieve
the ambitious
development goals
laid out by the new
president.
Many believe
Joko Widodo's
transition team is
asking the outgoing
administration to
eliminate fuel subsidies and
substantially increase fuel
costs before the swearing in of
the new government. Such a
move, though politically
unpopular, would free up large
amounts of capital for much
needed infrastructure projects.

It's the annual Hadaka

Matsuri of Saidaiji
Temple in Okayama,
Japan. In case you're
wondering, "hadaka"
means "naked" and
"matsuri" means
"festival" so it's the
"naked festival" even if
most people appear to be
wearing some kind of
diaper. Some of the 9,000
men who took part in this
year's Hadaka Matsuri at the
Saidaiji Temple in Okayama,
Japan, get ready for the
festivities.
It's called the "naked
festival," but in reality no one
actually gets completely naked.
They wear these sumo style loin
clothes aka diapers as they fight
for lucky sticks tossed into the
crowd of man flesh by the temple

priests.
The men who get the sticks
get lucky. I mean, they get to be
called the "lucky men."
They don't actually get lucky,
as far as we know... but maybe
they do.
What I'm trying to say is,
that's not necessarily a part of the
festival itself.
And it all happens in the
middle of the night, according to
the Japan Event Calendar. Men at

the Hadaka Matsuri at

the Saidaiji Temple in
Okayama, Japan get ready
"purified" by the freezing
cold Yoshii River before they
do battle over lucky sticks.
The sticks are just an
inch and a half in diameter
and nearly 8 inches long,
and they're thrown into the
crowd by a priest from a
window 13 feet above the
festivities.
As the men climb all over
each other to try to grab the sticks,
they shout "Wasshoi! Wasshoi!"
which is kind of like "heave-ho,
heave-ho."
Oh, and the lights are shut
off as this happens AND the men
are splashed with freezing cold
water AND it takes place in the
middle of winter when it's already
pretty darned cold out.

Red Bull drivers explain Mercedes gap

DANIEL Ricciardo and

Sebastian Vettel have tried to
explain the massive gap
between his third placed Red
Bull and the two Mercedes on
the front row of the grid for
Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
Ricciardo said Red Bull had
set his car up for a dry race,
expected on Saturday, not for the
wet qualifying conditions
experienced on Friday.
Four-time world champion
Vettel was 2.126 seconds adrift of
pole-man Nico Rosberg and 1.898
seconds behind Lewis Hamilton.

The reason we're behind is

fairly simple, said Vettel. We know
we are down on power. Mercedes
can run a bit more wing level, they
have more downforce and can still
take that wing on the straight it's
the reason.
Hopefully tomorrow in the
race, we will be closer in race pace
and closer than the last couple of
races.
Ricciardo, who qualified fifth,
said Red Bull had run a dry setup in
qualifying because it could not
afford to compromise straight-line
speed with extra downforce.
The Australian said: We've
set the car up for a dry race so, even
though we're typically quite strong in
the wet, we knew that our setup
would bring us down to the level of
some guys around us.
The gap to Mercedes was
pretty big. We thought we'd be able
to close it up a bit in the wet. They
were quick straight away, and it
hurts a little bit, but it's all right.

An explanation for now is

that we've banked a little bit on a dry
race tomorrow so we've set the car
up for that. In a nutshell, we've taken
downforce off for that.
With the way our straight-line
speed is, we need a chance of
fighting, moving forward or
defending, and that's why we've
gone the way we have.

Supreme Court today reveals
injury.
Egan, who earned AllAustralian selection during a
stellar 2007 season for the Cats, is
suing two doctors for damages
amid claims they left him
permanently injured.
It was also during that
standout year that Egan fractured
a bone in his foot during Round 22,
forcing him out of the finals.
Egan claims both doctors
failed to disclose the risks involved
with the operation and subsequent
rehab, and were therefore
negligent.
The documents state the
average return time to sport
following surgery was five months.
Egan's claim reveals he has
undergone six further surgeries
since the initial operation and has
suffered a direct impairment which

Playing with Geelong, he

Egan is seeking damages,

interest and costs from
orthopedic surgery specialist
Mark Blackney and Geelong
club sports medicine physician
Dr Chris Bradshaw.
The documents state the
31-year old brings no claim for
loss of earnings or loss of
earning capacity.
Documents reveal the
club doctor referred Egan to Mr
Blackney, who operated on him
on September 3, 2007 in the
hope he could be fit for the
Grand Final.
He began rehab 11 days
later, but was forced to stop five
days on due to severe pain and
missed the Grand Final, which
saw the Cats demolish Port
Adelaide by more than 100
points.
Egan became an assistant
coach at Geelong after retiring,
and joined Essendon as an
assistant coach for the forward line
group in 2012.

Authorities Allow A Same-Sex Wedding

LADDER 2014
ROUND 21

Kuta Weekly

Two blushing
brides were
legally married
in Russia this
month, even
though same
sex marriage
was made illegal
in the country in
2012.
Scandalized Russian
bureaucrats were outraged, but
they were trapped by their own
discriminatory laws. Alina Davis
and Allison Brooks are now
legally married.
Alina Davis, a 23 year old
trans woman, and Allison
Brooks, her 19 year old partner,
walked into the Moscow
registry office in matching

wedding dresses and

asked for a marriage license.
Alina said later on her VK page
(Like a Russian Facebook) that
the clerk called them the
"shame of the family" and told
them they needed medical
treatment.
Alina joked of her
partner's reaction: "I was afraid
my pussycat would beat the

In the end, the

disproving clerks
had no choice but to
issue a license to the
young couple,
because Alina,
(once Dmitry
Kozhukhov) who
was born male, is
recognized as a
male in Russia. The
ladies married
immediately at the
registry, punctuating their legal
marriage with a long and happy
kiss.
I find there is a profound
and satisfying irony in the fact
the women used a law born
from transphobia to defeat a
law born of homophobia.
Congratulations to the
newlyweds!

Laws give power to seize unexplained assets

Police could
soon be able to
seize all the
assets of a
p e r s o n
suspected of a
serious crime, if
new legislation
by the Victorian
government is
passed.
Suspected criminals
would have to prove to the
courts the assets were

them.
Victorian Premier Denis

unable to prove the assets or
funds were obtained lawfully,
they will be forfeited.

Motorbike helmet provides perspective

A hi-tech motorbike
helmet is offering two
wheeled thrill seekers
a new perspective on
the road ahead and
behind them and could
change the way bike
helmets are built.

HARDEN UP !!

Scheduled for
release in May next year,
the Skully AR-1 projects a
180-degree rearview camera and
turn by turn directions on to a
heads up display below the rider's
right eye.
Heads-up display
technology, which keeps the
user's eyes on the road, is also in
development for car drivers.
The AR-1 also boasts
Bluetooth connectivity and a
Smartphone companion app (for
Android and iOS), both controlled
by built-in voice recognition

software, which let users

sync with a mobile phone to make
and receive calls and play music.
The helmet is the brainchild
of keen rider and Skully's founder
and CEO, Marcus Weller. He was
involved in a motorbike crash in
2011 when he took his eye of the
road to read a sign, prompting him
to embrace technology in a bid to
boost safety.
However, Mr Weller rejects
suggestions the cutting-edge
headwear could actually impede a

rider's line of sight,

claiming the heads-up
display is designed so that it
requires very little attention.
The AR-1 also
restricts access to the
Internet, ensuring bikers
can't surf the net while living
life in the fast lane.
The helmet's shell is
based on a lightweight
model approved by major crash
safety ratings groups and features
NASA sourced sweat wicking
fabric. Its visor also dims at the
push of a button to deflect direct
sunlight.
However, all this technology
comes at a price and Mr Weller
admits that the AR-1 will not come
cheap. But he remains confident
the technology it has introduced
will change the way motorcycle
helmets are built.

WHERE BETTER TO WATCH YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS WHILE

BEST LEBANESE CUISINE IN BALI

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23

Opportunity, they say, knocks. The interesting thing about opportunities is the
less we know about them, the more interested in them we tend to be. A chance to
pursue a long-held ambition is on offer now. On paper, it ticks all the right boxes
but there are several question marks hanging over this before you can accept or
embrace it with both arms. Trust that time is on your side before making any
decision but you can and should enjoy being wanted and fussed over in ways
you soon will be! To make this happen, you will need support from certain
individuals. You don't need to look very far to see how much is available to you.

Let's talk about commitment, particularly your willingness - or unwillingness - to

commit to a certain person or group. The sky's message couldn't be clearer in
terms of a 'merging of energies' in both a personal or professional sense. Some
Librans will be expected to scribble a signature on a dotted line, others will be
discussing and committing to plans for the future. In any case, where
uncertainty has existed between you and someone else, from this week, you
should see clear signs that a volatile situation is becoming more solid. What has
been vague or uncertain in the background is about to become considerably
clearer and more solid.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22

Can you remember the last time you noticed a tiny bit of wool or thread on clothing
and chose to pull it? Can you remember wishing you hadn't? Something
seemingly insignificant suddenly became a much bigger issue. This week, you're
being encouraged to consider the implications of pursuing a particular sensitive
or controversial plan. In the same way a spark can cause a raging inferno, you
could end up creating a bigger issue through not considering the bigger picture.
It's one thing to identify a potential problem. It's another to tackle it while it remains
in a 'potential' stage. Leave a certain issue alone, for the time being, until you
know more about it.

One step forward is worth taking. When it coincides with a step backward, it can
be frustrating but much depends on how helpful the step forward has been!
Sometimes, a glimpse into an area we've tried to gain access to is all we need.
We then find ourselves with a clearer idea about something than we had
previously. Don't focus too intently this week on a perceived setback. It will
serve a very helpful purpose in terms of providing focus and motivation you've
wanted for a while now. You're being given reason to feel more inspired about a
plan or idea that has, so far, only intrigued you. It's time to turn a plan or idea into
something more concrete.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22

Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21

The ability to persuade is an art. As one of two signs blessed with exceptional
abilities to communicate, you possess all verbal and intellectual tools required to
get someone to accept your viewpoint and, this week, significant progress gets
made where 'winning someone over' is concerned. Rarely, will you have been on
such top form previously to convince someone to support an idea or proposal
close to your heart. Prepare for communicative victory! You have something of
considerable interest or value to someone else. You're in a strong position to
control a conversation or transaction.

Nobody has ever been known to choke swallowing pride yet swallowing pride is
something so many people fear and find difficult to do. Your experience this
week is likely to stem from someone accepting they were wrong and as
surprised as you might be with this admission, you have an excellent
opportunity to enter into a new realm of dialogue that has been obstructed
previously through their unwillingness to accept this. See this development as a
much needed fresh start. Flexibility exists within an arrangement that you
believed was set in stone. Someone just wants to see for themselves how
willing you are to accept you were wrong in some way.

Superheroes always have a knack of turning up precisely when they're needed.

Rarely, will you see one standing around at the scene of imminent danger,
examining their nails or sending text messages. You're about to experience the
thrill and excitement of saving the day through being in the right place at the right
time. Although superheroes often rely on their intuition, you might actually find
that one close companion played a big part in you knowing where to be. You are
starting to play a more integral role in a new venture or involvement. It's time to
show one or two people what you're capable of doing.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20

The interesting thing about talented people is, many tend not to blow proverbial
trumpets about their abilities. When someone is genuinely good at something,
they know it and often don't feel the need to show off their talents. How then, do
people become aware of these if those possessing them remain so humble?
Coming developments will highlight how uniquely talented you are. You can
provide precisely what someone wants - and they're unlikely to take no for an
answer! Be willing to share what you're able to share. Be prepared to push
aside modesty and to take the lead where it is hoped you will.

Leo Jun 24 - Aug 23

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

This week, a process begins that will make noticeable improvements to your
levels of 'comfort'. Every Leo will have their own story to tell about which area or
areas they could do with feeling noticeably more comfortable within. It's important
however to recognize the process is not an overnight one. Recently, you've had to
prime yourself where partnership, financial and career related issues are
concerned but can expect from this week to feel at ease in ways you haven't felt
for a while. What was proposed or suggested not so long ago is about to show
signs of becoming a reality. Much that has been discussed or agreed in principle
is about to become formalized. Expect reassurance and comfort to replace
frustration.

On the one hand, a recent change you've introduced is meeting many

expectations. On the other hand, you're unhappy about an inflexible
arrangement that stands with someone you wish was more willing than they are
to listen to you. You could be forgiven for thinking they've adopted a 'you've
made your bed, now lie in it' or 'you can count me out' attitude but there is much
you can do to bridge a gap or heal a wound. Willingness on your part to
demonstrate sensitivity now could work a small miracle. The key to making
progress with a certain individual lies with showing empathy.

We are a local pub in Bangsar that shows all the best sporting
events from the AFL, EPL, Cricket, Rugby and anything else

Horoscope

28 Aug - 3 Sept 2014 (402)

We all know the feeling that accompanies making something clear to someone
who really ought to be as 'live' to an issue as we are. This would be made infinitely
easier if we were reassured that drawing attention to something we perceive as
obvious wouldn't end up as a tense discussion. This week, you're unlikely to show
much restraint in a particular area. Something needs to be said. The sky insists
that saying it will do you and someone else a world of good and bring a particular
issue into the open that has been in need of discussing for some time. It's time to
remove complacency where some has set it and enter into a new and necessary
dialogue.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20

People are fickle creatures. One minute, they're making their thoughts known
about how we ought to be doing something, offering criticism that is neither
wanted nor helpful. The next minute, they're being supportive and full of praise.
You have had your share of criticism lately. You've probably grown used to
being told how you should have behaved or done something that has caused a
bit of a stir in some circles. This week offers much deserved praise, love and
comfort. The sky is facilitating bonding of some sort and you can expect to see
how appreciated, supported and loved you are.

Singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson began playing
San Francisco coffeehouses together, performing under the
name Counting Crows. The name was taken from One for
Sorrow, a British divination nursery rhyme about the
superstitious counting of magpies, a member of the crow family.
Duritz heard the rhyme in the film Signs of Life, which starred his
close friend, actress Mary-Louise Parker. Developing a following
in the Bay Area and deciding to expand the band, Duritz and
Bryson kept the name as they added members.

Before signing to Geffen, the band recorded demo versions of a
number of songs, known as the 'Flying Demos'. These later
surfaced among the Counting Crows fanbase. Tracks include
"Rain King", "Omaha", "Anna Begins", "Einstein on the Beach
(For an Eggman)", "Shallow Days", "Love and Addiction", "Mr.
Jones", "Round Here", "40 Years", "Margery Dreams of Horses",
"Bulldog", "Lightning", and "We're Only Love". Some songs from
the tape later resurfaced (in reworked versions) on the band's
debut album August and Everything After.
From the beginning, Counting Crows focused on live
performances. The band's debut album August and Everything
After, produced by T-Bone Burnett, was released in late 1993.
The band toured extensively in 1993 and 1994, both as
headliners and in supporting roles with other artists, including
Cracker, the Cranberries, Suede, Bob Dylan, Los Lobos,
Jellyfish, and Midnight Oil. The first single, "Mr. Jones," refers to
The Himalayans' bassist, who was Duritz's childhood friend,
Marty Jones, and Kenney Dale Johnson, the drummer of
Silvertone, Chris Isaak's band, describing the desire of working
musicians to make it big and the fantasies they entertain about
what this might bring Duritz sang the song in fun, enjoying the
fantasy of making it big. However, he did not realize that just
months later, in December 1993, MTV would begin playing the
video for the song. It was an unexpected hit song, drawing
massive radio play and launching the band into stardom. August
and Everything After became the fastest-selling album since
Nirvana's Nevermind. With the turbo charge of their first single
propelling the band forward, and positive reviews from Rolling
Stone Magazine and other publications, it was decided that the
band could use another guitarist, and Dan Vickrey, another Bay
Area musician was offered the role as lead guitarist, singing
backing vocals. The harmonies within the band drew praise from
the start. In 1994 the band appeared on Saturday Night Live and
Late Show with David Letterman, and toured with The Rolling
Stones. The album sold 7 million copies, but success took a toll
on the band; drummer Steve Bowman left, and Duritz suffered a
widely reported nervous breakdown, which was not his first.

Adam Duritz, former member of the Bay Area band The

Himalayans, and producer/guitarist David Bryson formed
Counting Crows in San Francisco in 1991. They began as an
acoustic duo, playing gigs in and around Berkeley and San
Francisco. Another friend, guitarist David Immerglck, played
with them from time to time, though he was not an official
member of the group, and experimented with other musicians in
the area. As the emerging band recorded some demos, and as
other musicians joined the duo to make a full band, Immerglck
recorded with the band on some of the songs for their first album.
He declined joining the band at the time, because of his
membership in two other locally popular bands, Monks of Doom
and Camper Van Beethoven. By 1993, the band had grown to a
stable lineup of Duritz as vocalist, occasional pianist, and
primary songwriter, Bryson on guitar, Matt Malley playing bass
guitar, Charlie Gillingham on keyboards, and Steve Bowman as
drummer, and the band was a regular in the Bay Area scene. The
same year, the band signed to Geffen Records. On January 16,
1993, the band, still relatively unknown, filled in for Van Morrison
at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, and was introduced by
an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson. At the ceremony, they played

A grade three teacher
is giving a lesson on
nutrition, and she
decides to ask her
students what they had
for breakfast. To add a
spelling component, she asks the students to
also spell their answers.
Susan puts up her hand and says she had an
egg, 'E-G-G'.
'Very good', says the teacher.
Peter says he had toast 'T-O-A-S-T'.
'Excellent.'
Tommy has his hand up and the teacher
reluctantly calls on him. 'I had bugger all', he
says, ' B-U-G-G-E-R-A-L-L'.
The teacher is mortified and scolds Tommy for
his rude answer.
Later when the lesson turns to geography, she
asks the students some rudimentary questions.
Susan correctly identifies the Capital of Canada .
Peter is able to tell her which ocean is off Canada
's east coast.
When it's Tommy's turn, the teacher remembers
his rude answer from the nutrition lesson, and
decides to give him a very difficult question.
Tommy, she asks, 'Where is the Pakistani
border?' Tommy ponders the question and finally
says, 'The Pakistani boarder is in bed with my
mother.
That's why I got bugger all for breakfast'.

A guy dies and goes to hell, and meets Satan. Satan

says to the man;
"Nowadays, people entering hell are able to choose
their own personal hell. I will take you to a series of
doors, and you will look inside, and tell me if that is
where you would like to spend eternity."
The man agrees and Satan takes him down a long,
dark hallway. Satan opens the first door, the man
looks inside, and sees thousands of people standing
on their heads on a hard-wood floor. The man says;
This looks too uncomfortable. Show me the next
room please."
Satan then walks the man down to the second door.
The man looks inside, and sees thousands of
people standing on their heads on a concrete floor.
The man says;
"This is even worse. Please show me another
room."
Satan nods and takes him to the third door, and the
man looks inside; he sees thousands of people
standing knee-deep in liquid shit, all drinking coffee.
The man says;
"This is the place for me."
Satan then asks;
"Are you sure? Once the door closes you can never
go back..."
The man says;
"I'm positive. I do love coffee."
The man steps in, and Satan closes the door. Just
before the man could get comfortable, a voice on
the loudspeaker says;
"Coffee break is over, BACK ON YOUR HEADS!!!!

wave of hand, those three girls were vanished right

in my very eyes. absolutely worth every cents &
dime to watch this show.
The Viewers
the story ended when the girl & the guy reunited again, and happily ever after. the magician,
dancers & the crews bowed, saluting "good bye". it
was never felt it was already 60 minutes. decided to
rush out to the doors, the dancers & the magician
waved us, they were so friendly indeed. I saw happy
faces, big smiles after the
show. great work mate!
the spectators were
amazingly from around the
world, Aussie, German,
French, Russia, Korea,
Japan, China and some
Malaysians, and I haven't
saw any frowned faces.
with the Dancer
and the day after, I saw the
dancers walked around the
block. I greeted and cheered
her, but of course it won't be good without a photo.
she gave me a free photo session. well surely I will
be here again next time, where the magic comes
alive...

Kuta Theater, The Unbelievable

Show
it was a warm Saturday evening. my
watch showed the time already
reached 7pm Bali time. had already
my dinner & had no idea what to do
that evening (was a long time to be in Legian). I set
my mind to Centro Shopping Mall on Kartika Plaza,
might find something chill. my steps stopped as I
saw a big sign on the edge of the street. it wrote
"Unbelievable Theatrical
Show". never had an idea
what was in it. seemed
worth every penny. then I
asked to a man with a red
mask, stood just by the sign,
he was the doorman. "it's a
theater illusion show, mate.
come and see!" while he told
me about. still had no idea. I
watched the TV instead, and
I got his message ;)
Kuta Theater Balcony
t
he doorman delivered me upstairs where I
could see the whole show & of course bought the
ticket. USD 10 for a ticket, for an hour show with full
of action, the doorman convinced me.
the show started at 8pm precisely, I picked a middle
row seat, where I felt comfort to see the whole show.
it was entirely free seat to choose & that evening
there were lots of spectators, around 100.
The Legong Dance in Kuta Theater Show
the show begun with a balinese traditional
dance then it was totally different. a mixed twisted
story of a modern life with balinese touch and
magic. yupp magic! they zipped in the magic
touches & tricks with dance, drama & Bali's plot.
clever tricks! I couldn't figure it out how they run the
show, and mostly the magic tricks. the magician
vanished three dancers in a box. with just a slight
