Marching March
Om Swastiastu... March is maybe just another month for you who dont live in Bali, but for us, and for all Balinese living in this island, March is known as the quietest month in the year. On the 23rd of this month, once again Bali will experience the Silent Day, leaving the island dark and quiet for 24 hours. During the day, nobody is allowed to go out, to light fire, to work, or to enjoy entertainment (amati geni, amati karya, amati lelungan, and amati lelangunan). Its a total break, not only for the people but also for the environment. At night, you can see the beautiful sky with millions of stars and breathe the freshest morning of the year. So for you who happen to be in this island during Nyepi, dont rush to runaway to another destination. Stay still, dont be scared about being trapped in your hotel compound. This will give you a real escape in paradise. Marking Nyepi, our contributor writes about the Melasti purification ceremony that marks the beginning of the Nyepi celebration. And being inspired by the quiet atmosphere, we present some relaxing ideas of the month. You might be interested to breathe the cleanest air in the island doing Yoga the morning after Nyepi, or perhaps try the new exciting experience of honey tasting for your cup of tea? Another inspiration is to unwind in the afternoon at some new sunset venues in Bali? Our Action & Attraction this month is talking about the cultural performances in Bali which started as religious and now have commercial uses. Going further, we take you traversing the trails to Segara Anakan Lombok, and hopping around some of art galleries in Jakarta. Meanwhile, this month we cheerfully welcome two new team members. Say hello to newly appointed Editor Devishanty, and Advertising Executive, Meiny N. Wauran who joined Bali & Beyond team last month. This month we also introduce our first CSR program, a way of giving back to the community, and marking the first move is the Munti Gunung Program. We join with the Economy Faculty of Udayana University, hand in hand supporting the community by collecting donations and giving educational seminars to them. Check out our Community Calendar for more information. So enjoy your marching March in silence! Dont forget to bring our magazine to accompany you during your silent day experience! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om The Team

The Melasti ceremony is a stage of the Silent Day celebration where the Balinese take the Pratima to the sea for purification. Although there is the option to use modern transportation, the Balinese people maintain their culture by taking the Pratima on foot.
he Pratima is believed to be a manifestation of Gods power, symbolizing each function. Typically, the Pratima is made of metal or wood and shaped according to the visualization of each function. Placed in the temple, the Balinese believe that it will deliver
to the water source with a percussion accompaniment called a Beleganjur. At the edge of the water source, the procession takes the holy water for a cleaning ritual dedicated to all participants and the Pratima to follow as the next step. This spiritual concept of a cleansing procession is to eliminate the suffering of the people from the attachment of the material world. After the cleansing procession, all participants pray facing the water source with hope to have a better life. The praying session is led by a Pemangku. After the prayers, the participants will carry the Pratima back to the temple. People who happen to be in the area will join the session sitting cross-legged while praying to God for the salvation of all sentient beings, including the parade participants. After the Pratima is placed back at the temple, the ceremony continues with a prayer procession held at the temple. It is called the Upakara Mecaru, in which they present caru, which is an offering, addressed to the evil spirits who live in this world. For several days after the Melasti ceremony, all the residents nearby the temple do puja, presenting offerings called prani. At this time, people are asking tirtha amrta (holy water) at the temple for the welfare of their lives, all beings, and the universe.

their wishes to God in hopes that God will manifest. Held once a year, the march of Melasti is usually done three or three days before the Silent Day of Nyepi, welcoming the New Year of aka in the Balinese calendar system. The purpose is to purify both Bhuana Alit (the soul) and Bhuana Agung (the universe). Furthermore, the Melasti ceremony brings four values to the Balinese-Hindu society: to remind people of their devotion to God, to build awareness for the alleviation of suffering in living together as a society, to strengthen the soul with spiritual self-cleansing, and to preserve nature. Performed with a parade procession by thousands of Hindu people as participants, the ritual begins with the preparation of a walking crowd with the Pratima placed in a jempana, a carriage for the Pratima, and paraded towards a water source (a lake or a beach) that is located not far from the temple in a nearby village. People walk together and help each other to bring the Pratima

parade. Similarly, waste problems arise after the ceremony is held. It is undeniable that the progress of Balis development and the diversity of the community interests in the increasingly pluralistic Bali will lead to a polarity of an implementation of activities. In spite of it all, the Balinese-Hindu community continues to perform this ceremony as part of their worship and attempt to find spiritual awareness. It is a spiritual journey. It is magical. The hundred miles long march is only taken by a journey within only half day on the streets; walking and sometimes running across the busy traffic of Balis streets. With all the purpose and in the name of tradition, not only the Balinese society should support this unique ritual, but also other communities that live side by side and the higher power of the society, the government itself, to guide all the people while doing this sacred ritual.

The Balinese believe that all parts of the Universe have their own purpose, including the evil spirits, which they believe should not be dismissed but are to be controlled so they will still be able to fulfill their purpose in this world. As Balinese-Hindus, they believe that to sense heaven in this world is to live without polarity. There is no good, neither bad. All are the same; they present with certain purposes.

Admit it, we all need a little break after those long days traversing the island. Lets say with a couple glasses of your favorite cocktail before dinner while viewing the evenings most scenic display: the calm sea shore with colorful traditional jukung boats floating and a clear view of an enormous mountain and Nusa Penida Island in the far distance. Then you need just a couple additional things for a perfect evening: slow music, the right ambience, and of course, great food. The best place to experience this it is definitely Sakala. Nestled on the tranquil beach of Tanjung Benoa, Sakala has everything when it comes to luxury: the elegant architecture of the building with its famous Balinese Kul Kul towers, a calm situation, and great table servings. An evening at Sakala is an unforgettable experience. When the night falls and the lights are lit, the large long pool overlooking the sea turns on its gleaming and glow. Opt for breezy seats outdoors or choose to mingle on the cozy couches of the dining room that is lit with

Dont miss the three-color Homemade Ravioli stuffed with light Goat Cheese and Tartufada, Duck leg confit, Buffalo Mozzarella, fresh basil and tomato sauce to start up, or maybe youd like the smooth sensation of Foie Gras served in five different ways?

Served with Caramelized Pear, Roots vegetable Gratin and Roasted Baby Green Beans with Balinese Pepper Sauce, it also has the sourly clinging taste of red berries and savoury Rosemary.

Both Asana and pranayama are the basic techniques to be used before other advanced ones. The Yoga master, Arif Usman, has been practicing for the last 15 years. Here he leads sessions for some of the advanced techniques including Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga and Astanga Vinyasa Yoga. Hatha Yoga focuses to balance the mind and body via physical postures or asanas, purification practices, controlled breathing, and the calming of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Iyengar Yoga focuses on the structural alignment of the physical body through the development of asanas, uniting the body, mind and spirit for health and well-being. And Astanga VInyasa Yoga is a style of yoga which includes a specific series of movements frequently done between each pose in a series with the alignment of breath control. With the help of the yoga wall, some of the difficult movements in the advanced styles can be done easily without causing pain in the muscles. It helps to fix the form of each movement while the practitioner controls the breath and balances the mind without worrying about falling down.

favorites like Kung Paow Chicken topped with cashew nuts listed on its uniquely designed menu that is hung on every chair. Many kinds of dishes are available here. If youre an Italian lover, or you want something more fusion, the taste will never go wrong. The desserts are also outstanding. Meet their sweet-melting Tiramisu or homemade Ice Cream with different flavors. Durian perhaps? But the real sensation at Honey & Bread is its tea ritual. We suggest that you stay a little bit longer and neutralize your palate before experiencing the ritual. Honey & Bread keeps a lot of tea selections from all around the world; from the infused scents such as Earl Grey or Vanilla with two choices of original or that provides a real home ambience with bright lighting, an open kitchen, high ceiling and tables set with soft-color seating. Despite its uniquely open interior, you will be amazed by its wide selection of honey in different colors displayed on a rack, greeting you as you enter the supermarket. Honey & Bread offers a relaxing situation, perfect for a day starter if youre heading towards the peninsula, or even for a relaxing lunch. The restaurant has extensive and scrumptious breakfasts such as Eggs Benedict, and lunch Green tea, Oolong, Lemon Grass, White tea, and more. You name it and they will serve it, as they have 37 types of tea for your perusal. Forget sugar; instead of this little white grain that might cause you health problems when you consume it too much, choose the natural sweetener from the bees instead. While youre waiting for your cup of tea, select your favorite choice of honey. Honey & Bread has a wide selection and we guarantee that youll be amazed knowing that there are such extensive honey types
available in this country. If youre not sure what you will have, dont be worried because the real sensation has just begun. Ask them for a honey tasting; challenge your palate to choose the best honey for your tea! The honey tasting experience is very interesting. Youll find out that each honey type has a different kind of sensation. Not only the color difference, but it also has a different taste depending on which flower nectar it comes from. The apple honey comes from the apple flower, and its nectar tastes a little bit like apple, light and sweet at the end. The coffee honey color is dark with a deep and heavy sensation but very lightly sweet. Their honey collection is from 20 different regions in Indonesia, including the rare Madu Putih Sumbawa. Choosing the right honey for your cup of tea is quite challenging. Its actually all right to mix any kind of honey with your tea; depending on which sensation you want to create. The darker the honey, the more mineral it has, and the deeper flavour it creates in your delightful tea. Honey & Bread Jl. ByPass Ngurah Rai, Nusa Dua (inside Pepito Express) (0361) 776-490

n the small village of Bengkala, far away up in North Bali, almost everyone can speak the sign language known as Kata Kolok, or Deaf Talk. For more than a century, around 2% of the babies there have been born profoundly deaf. In 2008, out of a total population of 2,450, there were 46 profoundly deaf people, known in the village as kolok.
by both kolok and inget (hearing members of the community) to discuss any topic that anyone in the village discusses, from the simple and concrete to the highly abstract. Everyone in Bengkala speaks Kata Kolok, except for a few newcomers. They use it in daily conversation, in agricultural production, market transactions, family life, religious ceremonies, and village affairs. Practically everyone in Bengkala speaks at least some Kata Kolok, their immediate family, their parents and brothers and sisters usually speak it very well too. People who come from outside the village sometimes learn the kolok language. Everyone
People who can hear are known as inget. Kata Kolok uses visually transmitted sign patterns involving a combination of hand signals, movements of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to convey meaning. It can be used

can speak it at least a little bit, but of course, the kolok themselves speak it better than anyone. At the primary school in Bengkala, in certain classes, Kata Kolok is used as a medium for instruction for all the students, deaf and even for those who can hear. It teaches them to become familiar with the language, and it also preserves this unique local language. This program only begun in 2007. Before that, the kolok had to go to the special school for the deaf in Singaraja (known as SLBC) to study. But many couldnt go because they couldnt afford it. In this Special School for the Deaf in Singaraja, they used to learn the Signed Indonesian or Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia (SIBI) for communication. Kata Kolok is a very different language from Signed Indonesian or Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia (SIBI). Many members of the community felt that if deaf children went to primary school in Singaraja to study Signed Indonesian, they would lose their knowledge of Kata Kolok and the means for keeping the community united would be lost, as the inget would be unlikely to learn Signed Indonesian. In the early operation of the school, the kolok said they wanted to go on using Kata Kolok instead of Signed Indonesian, so that the young people would speak the same language as their parents. The headmaster agreed. But even so, he also wanted to bring in a qualified teacher from the Special School in Singaraja. In the end it never happened: there were no funds to pay the transportation costs for the teacher to come to the village. The transportation expense was very high, they had to pay Rp 18,000 per day to travel back and forth from Singaraja, so the kolok never learnt the Signed Indonesian language. Kata Kolok is what keeps the inget and the kolok together as a single community. Everyone in Bengkala carries the gene for deafness. Our own children could be born deaf. In Bengkala, being deaf is not something that is carried by the kolok alone. Its something that belongs to the entire community.

art performances.
ance, drama and music are all part of the Balinese peoples lives, included in the rituals that are done as part of their religious activities. These rituals have been performed since ancient times in the villages, and have slowly expanded from community
performances to commercial purposes. From an early age, the Balinese people are very familiar with art performances. The sound of gamelan music is often heard by babies and has been every since they were in the womb. Children are encouraged to dance by their family, and the community association of the village, called the Banjar, often hosts rehearsals in the bale banjar, teaching them to dance, play music or do other Almost every ritual has a different art performance that involves dance, drama and music performed in perfect balance and harmony. A temple festival has gamelan music and stage performances, while a wedding might have flirtatious dances to entertain the attendees. The performers used to play for devotion reasons and not receiving any payment. Although it was part of their religious rituals, the Balinese were known to take these performances seriously. They blend with the characters by doing the rituals before their performances, wearing the particular costumes of their characters and even putting on make up and additional details including hair extensions, false moustaches and even wearing different kind of crowns, which also becomes the holiest part of the costumes. In some plays, the performers can go into a trance and be transformed into the character being played. Although there wasnt any record when the first theatrical performances in Bali were started, Gambuh is known as the oldest classical dance-drama. According to the book Balinese Dance, Drama and Music written by I Made Dibia and Rucina Ballinger, the musical structure, melodies and dance movements of Gambuh provide the basis for most forms of Balinese gamelan and theatre. This classical dance-drama was brought over from Java in the fifteenth century as the Majapahit Kingdom fell. It is played by accompanying instrumental sounds of the gamelan gambuh and tell ancient tales. Over the centuries, more and more performances were created, and today there are a lot of dance-drama performances known such as Wayang Wong, Arja and Kebyar dances, Drama

artists also collaborate with foreign talents to create world-class theatrical plays, performing the traditional tales, fables and legends that are popular in society. From the 1920s until the beginning of the 2000s, these theatrical dramas attracted most of the visitors who came to Bali for holidaying. But apparently now the tourism market in Bali seems to have less interest in these traditional kinds of things. Hopefully by bringing these traditional plays into a modern stage it can attract more people to preserve the culture that seems almost gone.
In Bali, children are encouraged to learn about dance and perform in front of the community

One of the modern stages that perform the traditional heritage Beautiful make up and costumes play is Bali Theatre. As a part of the Bali Safari and Marine Park, that has a 1,200 seating capacity and 60 x 40 meter stage, fully equipped with advanced multi-media technology and state of the Gong, Calonarang and many more. A new face in drama was marked by the creation of Sendratari, standing for Seni, Drama and Tari (Art of Drama and Dance) in the 1960s, introducing a theatrical drama without using any dialog between the actors or dancers. They just pantomimed their roles while a storyteller recited the plot. This new type of stage performance marked the modern cultural performances that then later were introduced to entertain tourists visiting Bali. There are a lot of story sources in drama performances. The most famous stories are the legendary Ramayana and Mahabharata, but stories are also sourced from tales including the babad or Balinese chronicles of kings, the Malat or Panji romances, and fables. Nowadays, these plays are performed not only in temples or courts but also on big stages using the latest technologies and amazing effects even involving animals on the stage. The local

art sound and lighting. A recent performance is Bali Agung - The Legend of Balinese Goddesses, a blend of Balinese traditional and contemporary dance performances, collaborative music and cutting- edge puppetry on Balis largest modern stage. It tells the legend of King Sri Jaya Pangus, who ruled the Warmadewa Dynasty. This legend is possibly the most exhilarating historic period of the Balinese kingdom, which took place around 1179 1181. King Jaya Pangus defied traditional law by taking a foreigner, Kang Ching Wie of the Chinese Kang dynasty, to be his first lady. The concern from the high priest did not stop the king and the power of true love. He moved his palace to a new location known as Balingkang, from the words Bali and the Kang dynasty. There, in a relatively short time, he soon gained strong followers, becoming one of Balis most respected kings. Sadly, with no blessing from the high priest, the couple was childless.

The 170 member cast is comprised of Balis most accomplished artists including dancers, shadow-puppet masters, musicians, gamelan players, and an animal show and parade with more than 500 costumes. The play also involves 30 exotic animals including trained elephants, camels, eagles, birds, ducks, snakes and tigers. The story was led by a dalang, starting by telling about the situation of old Bali where the land was very peaceful and rich with lush of tropical sanctuary. It then continues by the arrival of the Chinese coming from a ship and the company of animals such as tigers, snakes, birds, and even ducks swimming on the river. An original musical composition of Balinese Gamelan and western orchestral music enriches this magical production creating an Frustrated, the king set out on a pilgrimage to the nearby temple of Mount Batur. There he met the goddess of the lake, Dewi Danu, and romance soon followed. The couple was soon blessed with a baby boy, but the goddess later found out that the King was actually a married man. Having a broken heart, she cursed the couple to disappear. The couple were later known to be manifested into a pair of large effigies, Jero Gede and Jero Luh, famously known as Barong Landung. This legendary story was the inspiration of Australian and Balinese artists, led by Peter Wilson (the creator of Sydney and Doha Olympics), Made Sidia (well known as a puppeteer and dancer) and Chong Lim (worldwide music composer), to collaborate in creating a spectacular show of Balinese theatrical arts and culture that they named Bali Agung The Legend of Balinese Goddesses, to be held at the Bali Theatre.

I have seen many theatre performances in the world and many of them are colossal, but what sticks out from Bali Agung is its concept and philosophy, said I Made Sidia, famous Balinese puppeteer.

Gradually, crimson rays of light preceding the sun breaking dawn, adding to the splendor of my morning. This time I was at Segara Anakan Lake on Mount Rinjani, a place that is a favorite sport for climbers to ease the weariness of their journey towards the peak of Rinjani. A few facts on Mount Rinjani; it is the second highest peak in Indonesia at 3,726 meters above sea level, and the mountain has a complete ecosystem. Savannas, highland forests, edelweiss blooms, and low-lying grasslands can be found around it. Besides having a comprehensive ecosystem, the mountain has a lake

at approximately 1,900 meters above sea level. And in 1994 it surprised the world with the surfacing of a new volcanic island referred to by the locals as Gunung Baru Jari. This new mass peaks at 2,236 meters above sea level. Danau Segara Anakan (Child Lake of the Sea in the local tongue) is an ideal location to set up camp. This camping site is usually frequented as a resting place before continuing further. At this lake you can go fishing, as there are a lot of carp in the lake. With only a strand of nylon and a hook, you can easily enjoy grilled fish a few moments later. Or if you wish to catch fish traditionally, in Sasak style to be precise, you would utilize a stick or sharpened bamboo pole as your fishing tool. To get to this lake, there are two routes usually taken by climbers. First is the Sembalun trail, and the second is the Senaru

trail. Each route has its own unique characteristics; if you choose the Sembalun trail then you will be greeted by the beauty of a vast savanna, and if you start off from Senaru you would traverse through woodlands. My trek this time started from the village of Sembalun. Besides the scenic vistas, this journey from Sembalun featured more sloped terrain as compared to that of Senaru.
route that was rather sloped becomes steeper, but now and again there are several descents that motivate you to continue forward.

Besides the allure and the scenic natural vistas, the locals believe that the Segara Anakan has many magical attributes. The region is believed to be the congregation site of genies that inhabit Mount Rinjani. To the Sasaks, this lake is sacrosanct and is frequently a ritual site for the Wetu Telu, a belief of syncretism between Islam and Hindu elements. Besides the Segara Anakan Lake, you can also admire Mount Baru Jari, a mass that erupted in 1994. The Segara Anakan emanates a mesmerizing cobalt blue. Track its hot spring hidden to the left on the bottom of a beautiful waterfall by following the opening the lake where waters overflow. You need to cross the stream twice and then continue following a path 200 meters further down a very steep hill. Bathing is possible by building

ponds and letting the water of the hot springs fill it. The hot water source can also function as a soothing pain reliever, despite it being full of algae. The lake area is not necessarily the cleanest campsite, as often large groups of local pilgrims use this area as a resting point and leave behind large amounts of plastic and other waste. Mount Rinjani has also suffered due to ignorance. Also, scores of biological waste from both climbers and the locals become unpleasant finds. But even so, there are still several reasons why you dont want to miss this challenge. Definitely this Segara Anakan and its majestic Mountain Rinjani are worth it to visit, at least once in a lifetime. Text and photos by Bayu Winata

emang in South Jakarta is often, if not always, mentioned when it comes time to pore over artwork. Galleries that showcase various ranges of art stretch from one to the other end of Kemang Raya Street and extend to Benda Street.
Here are palatial, luxurious galleries that exhibit from high fine arts to rustic minimalistic spaces that provide its visitor with more contemporary artwork. However, to get there is quite painful, especially because most of the exhibitions are held at 7 p.m. on weekdays, just when most Jakartans flood the street to return home after work. Some feel it isnt worth the effort, crisscrossing the city just to see a few paintings or sculptures.
Gallery owners see this hindrance and offer art aficionados in busy Jakarta a more practical option: now they can wander around in malls and see artwork, after they shop or have their coffee or while waiting for the horrific traffic jams to loosen up a bit. In February 2010, nine major galleries got together and launched the Jakarta Art District in strategically located Grand Indonesias East Mall Lower Ground. The Jakarta Art District is organized by members of the Association of Indonesian Galleries (AGSI), including Edwins Gallery, Galeri Canna, Mon Dcor, Andis Gallery and Nadi Gallery. They went further than just establishing an array of galleries with a good reputation inside a mall. Their future vision is to provide the art space as the starting point for people to get acquainted with art. The space has additional common ground
where the participating members can alternately present an exhibition every two weeks. And since the intention is to bring art closer, its not just the tacky or kitschy artwork that they are housing. Big, prominent names such as Agus Suwage have even taken advantage of these mall-galleries, to release his book in celebrating the 25th year of his creative expedition. Just a small leap from Grand Indonesia, initiators of the hip travelling bazaar Brightspot Market opened a curated department and cafe called The Goods Dept. in the fourth floor of Plaza Indonesia Extension in December 2010. The Brightspot Market itself has gained recognition for being the place to find all the cool stuff under one roof since 2009. This multidimensional retail environment has quickly become the hub for fashion and lifestyle products from young Indonesian

designers and the coolest international brands. The 1,066 square meter space features rotating events such as art exhibitions, fashion shows, and is also the location for the quarterly short film festival from London, Future Shorts One. Almost one year after opening, The Goods Dept. set up The Art Dept., a division especially dedicated to manage art exhibitions in the venue. Collaborating with Singapore-based Valentine Willie Fine Art, The Art Dept. is focusing on both established and emerging artists from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines. By blurring the boundaries between art and design, The Art Dept. aims to create a fresh platform from which to explore the convergence points between visual art and popular culture. The official establishment of The Art Dept. was marked by the solo smartphone photography exhibition IShot on November 2011. Here photographer Wimo Ambala Bayang documented ArtStage Singapore and Art HK 2011 using his iPhone camera and thus he broke the gadget limitation in making good artwork.

Take a shuttle from Plaza Indonesia and go south to fX Lifestyles Xnter in Senayan. Here is where you can find the petite yet thriving Indie Artspace managed by designer cum lecturer Adri Tirtoarrazaq. He formed Indie Artspace in August of 2011 with a mission to promote young creative minds by giving them a space to exhibit, either solo or in a group, and also to sell their crafts in the adjoined art store. Each month Indie Artspace houses an exhibition and is sometimes a venue for artists to launch their new products. Adri started the year by hosting Resolusi 2012: Post-It Group Art Exhibition, a collaboration of six new artists who explored the yellow Post-It notes as the media to present their thoughts and concepts regarding the theme, New Years Resolution. The Post-It note was chosen due to its effectiveness as a reminder. Nothing is better than having a reminder of hope and, according to Adri, hope could lead to great things if pursued. A nice new years opener. Getting back to the first part, Kemang still provides a good reason to come when it comes to admiring art. When traffic is friendlier, take a stroll to Kemang Selatan Raya and enjoy the good art vibration, nice cup of coffee and great conversation in the cozy atmosphere of dia.lo.gue artspace. Founded by the brains behind the remarkably design studio LeBoYe on December 2010, this space was intended to be the place where a genuine creative dialogue can start to happen between artists, designers and the general public. Those who know the local Betawi language can easily recognize the three subjects within the art spaces name:
dia.lo.gue
dia, lo and gue which could roughly translated as he/she, you and me. The conversing profiles in the logogram could be interpreted as individuals of many different characters, ages and personalities. Dia.lo.gue was established on the spirit that art and design are inextricably linked with the way humans express themselves. It is a part of everyday life, living and breathing a profoundly human truth. By showcasing interesting ideas and creations in the field, dia. lo.gue hopes they could raise the profile and art consciousness within society at large, as well as stimulating new works. By speaking the truth and being honest, good art and design could enrich life immeasurably. Dont be surprised if one of the owners, Hermawan Tanzil, suddenly approaches you and starts a conversation about everything with you. As serious as it may sound, dia.lo.gue presents a series of fun and exciting programs like the exhibition of White Shoes and the Couple Companys tour documentation on February 2012. The vintage-ish band showcased the photographs taken by band members or crew during their latest album, Album Vakansi, promotion tour from all over Indonesia. Twice a year, they host Smart Dialogue, a one-day art market, art exhibition and crafting demo varnished with live acoustic music or poetry reading in their backyard. This place is definitely a perfect venue where you can enjoy art without getting a headache trying to understand the message within the works. A subtle approach for relaxing that is after all as Picasso has said, art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life. Text and photos by Shinta Eka dia.lo.gue artspace Jl.

The Year of aka 1933 will end on March 23 this year, and the Balinese, as well as all Hindu people in this country, will celebrate the New Year. Unlike other New Year celebrations, this aka New Year called Nyepi is celebrated in total silence. One day before Nyepi, the Balinese do the purification ceremonies, present offerings on the crossroads and village centers, and exorcise demons by taking Ogoh-ogoh, which represent the bad spirits, out on the streets and burn them. A day after that, the Balinese will keep silent, so that the spirits which are aroused the night before will think that Bali is empty and will leave the island. To support this silence, no transportation is allowed, no fires may be lit, no work is done and no one should be seen on the road. People should not leave their compounds, and all of people in this island are requested to stay in doors. Even the airport, bus stations and ports are closed during this Silent Day. So if you happen to be in Bali, perhaps its better to consult with your guest relation officers to ask for their assistance during this time of silence. But dont be afraid, as you will experience something quite different that you might never have before.
The Bar Pro Bali will host the Bali selection for Bar Pro Flair Challenge 2012, looking for new bartending talents. About 40-50 bartenders from tourism schools and colleges, restaurants, pubs, clubs, and hotels will compete to win a ticket to represent Bali at the Bar Pro Flair Challenge Indonesia Final 2012 in Jakarta.

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.
