Om Swastiastu...
The busiest time of the year for Bali has passed, but that does not mean the ow of
tourists to the island has ceased. For our readers who have just arrived to our little
tropical paradise, welcome! The trafc on the roads is a bit less packed compared to
the few months that came before, so we decided share with you some off-the-beaten-
track options in case anyone is interested in a little road trip!
In CRAFT & CULTURE we head to East Bali to visit the Bali Aga in Tenganan Dauh
Tukad. By merely leaving a donation in the amount of your choice, you can learn all
about this intriguing village and its centuries-old traditions. If you need accommodation
while youre in the area, turn to REST & RELAX to read about The Nirwana in
Candidasa and its charming and quaint sea-facing villas.
Aside from those two gems in East Bali, we also wanted to share a few more gems
that for some might have been hidden in plain sight. Urchin restaurant, in front of
Seminyaks The Colony hotel for example, is a newcomer that has is denitely worth
trying (especially for its Raw Bar). And have you ever tried the sport of yboarding? If
not, turn to ACTION & ATTRACTION to learn all about it!
All this and more in this edition of BALI & BEYOND. Hope were able to provide
some inspiration for you have a great September!

old beliefs, called Tenganan Dauh
Tukad. There I met with Wayan

to the outside world since 1985.

years old.
mountain pinnacle have resulted in
a wondrous landscape of dramatic
foothills and crevices unrivalled
anywhere in Bali.
Hidden amongst the hills and
valleys is an 11
th
century village (the
most ancient in Bali) that holds fast
to their traditional ways and age-
VISIT A VILLAGE NESTLED IN THE KARANGASEM REGENCY OF EAST BALI,
WHERE THE FEELING IS AS OLD AS BALI ITSELF.
ORIGINAL BALINESE
Bali Aga means original Balinese.
Most Balinese are descendants of
the Majapahit Empire, but the Bali
Aga in East Bali are the original,
pre-Majapahit aboriginal people
of Bali, who celebrate their culture
with unique temple ceremonies and
festivals since time immemorial.
Wandering through the village
of 759 people, I couldnt help but
notice how modern the houses
were even the temple entrances
looked new. Wayan explained that
the major eruption of Mt. Agung in
1963 destroyed much of the village,
and in 1979 another eruption
caused further damage. Only a few
houses made of the original clay
remain; most have been replaced
and with stronger building materials.
A durable dirt path connects the
house compounds and the temples.
The government came here
in 1990, and after much village
discussion the two banjar [councils]
refused the governments offer
to modernize the road within the
village, Wayan explained. We
like it this way, and besides, asphalt
is too hot.
This Bali Aga village is comprised
of four associations one for
married men, one for married
women, one for boys and one
for girls. Many rites of passage
exist within these groups. Those in
the youth association are taught
karma desa at around seven years
of age, learning all about their
responsibilities and the duties they
will have to perform.
DANCES OF BALI AGA
The calendar is full of temple
ceremonies and festivals, with events
appearing every month that involve
unique arts. Classical dances like
the Abuang dance for young boys,
the sacred Rejang dance and the
solo Baris dance are performed with
elaborate ceremonial dress and
headgear unseen in other parts of
Bali. Their dances embrace a
proud history.
A crowd favorite is the Baris
dance, which is performed by men.
The dancers split into opposing
armies carrying sacred artifacts
and symbolic weapons for magical
strength. The century-old unique
versions of these dances can only be
witnessed in the Bali Aga villages of
East Bali.
USABA SAMBAH
FESTIVAL
Ritual battles take place in a number
of old Bali villages in Karangasem,
accompanied by the pounding
rhythms of the ancient gamelan. A
special event on the fth month of
the Tenganan year is the festival
of swings, or the Usaba Sambah
Festival. Usaba Sambah started on
July 9 and concluded on July 25 of
this year.
Many neighboring villages
converge on Tenganan Dauh Tukad
to witness the vibrant events of the
month. Wayan said that his village
welcomes the increasing number of
visitors and he proudly showed off his
collection of photos from past events.

He explained the coconut event,
where young boys balance up to
40 coconuts on a shoulder pole
while dodging ying bananas. If
the boys get distracted and drop a
coconut, they get ned. Of course
the bananas hit them left, right and
center, and there is quite the ruckus.
This unique event tests strength, focus
and concentration.
The swing ceremony resembles
the old Vedic rites, and boys and
girls climb onto a tall wooden
ikat cloth produced in this village is
said to have protective powers. It
takes one year to make one of these
ikats, which is a masterwork of the
traditional textile art.
The cloth is believed to be the
inspiration of Batara Indra, or the
Creator, who when contemplating
the moon and stars and heavens
was called upon to teach the
women of Tenganan the intricate
ikat patterning. This practice is
centuries old.
In the nearby Bali Aga village of
Tenganan Pegringsingan (the larger
of the two villages with over 1,000
people), burials are done much
differently. The bodies are wrapped
and placed under a tree that is said
to have magical powers. The bodies
laid out under this tree decompose
over time but do not smell. By some
magical, unexplained phenomena
they slowly rot without animals
coming near them or any sort of
infestation taking over. After some
structure. A turning platform propels
a series of wooden swings and the
girls swing high above the ground.
This is symbolic of the unication
of the sun and the Earth, and is
the highlight of the Usaba Sambah
Festival.

soft clack, clack, clack sound coming
from looms could be heard through

COLLECTIVE
CREMATION
Collective cremations are held in
Tenganan Dauh Tukad, the most
recent one being in 2005. Ten
bodies were exhumed from their
temporary resting place in the
ground and cremated together.
A mass cremation is for
cost cutting purposes, because
cremations are very expensive
affairs, Wayan explained. It takes
many years to save for one.
time, what remains is simply the
skeleton. It is a mystery and no one
can explain it, said Wayan.
The arts, customs and traditions
of old Bali Aga are still as alive
today as they were thousands of
years ago. With a village law in
place decreeing that no land can be
sold, we can rest assured that their
customs will remain well into the
future. And the good news for us is
that they love receiving visitors.

CONTRIBUTOR BAYU RAHANATHA SHARES HIS
EXPERIENCE OF SAILING TO NUSA LEMBONGAN
ON A CATAMARAN WITH WAKASAILING.
SET SAIL
IN LUXURY
I
t had been awhile since
my last sailing experience,
which to be honest, had not
been a pleasant one. Luckily
for me, what WakaSailing
provided for me recently was
an experience bordering on
perfection that quickly remedied
my views on sailing.
Even those who dont consider
themselves outdoorsy will love
what WakaSailing has to offer
a luxury catamaran, excellent
food and beverages, well-tailored
activities, stunning views and A+
service.
RISE & SHINE
Our group arrived at the Waka
Marina starting point by 8:30
a.m., where the staff greeted us
with refreshing welcome drinks.
Everyone seemed concerned with
making sure our journey would be
unforgettable. Not only did they
offer us cool towels and seasickness
remedies, they also gave us tips on
how to enjoy our sailing experience.
By 9:00 a.m. we had departed
from Benoa Harbor on our way to
beautiful Lembongan Island, located
off the southeast coast of Bali.
EASY AS PIE
It took us two hours until we arrived
at Lembongan Island. For me, those
hours did not feel long at all as
I really enjoyed relaxing on the
catamaran. A catamaran is a type
of yacht with two hulls, which give
greater stability during sailing.
Gala Underground House, a unique
underground house consisting of
linked tunnels and caves. It was
built singlehandedly by a man
named Made Byasa from 1961 to
1976, inspired by the Mahabharata
folklore.
The house serves many functions,
including spiritual needs such as
meditations, and we learned that a
few days before our visit a couple
from Russia had taken advantage
of the Gala-Gala house for spiritual
purposes.
After visiting Gala-Gala, we
continued on to the seaweed farms.
Next to the farm area is a small
market selling local goodies where
we shopped for a bit before heading
back to the beach club.
BEACH CLUB ACTIVITIES
At the beach club we were
welcomed by an all-you-can-eat
buffet lunch an assortment of Asian
delights and some international
selections. My favorite was the grill
G l U d d H WakaSailings catamaran is one
of the most luxurious types available
on the island, and it guarantees
a comfortable journey and faster
speeds when necessary. Their
catamaran accommodates up to 30
passengers, and it is equipped with
a bar and lounge, a fantastic sound
system, a sun deck and of course,
restrooms. Guests are also provided
with a kit that includes a mat for
sunbathing.
After our arrival we headed
to the beach club, where again
the Waka staff greeted us with
excellent hospitality. Soon after we
were given two options; exploring
the village or taking part in beach
club activities such as snorkeling or
kayaking.

station, which served up delicious
beef and chicken satay.
After lunch we were offered
the opportunity to either join the
second session of snorkeling or to go
kayaking. We opted for snorkeling,
and then boarded the glass bottom
boat provided by NusaBay that took
us to the snorkeling spot. There we
spent about an hour enjoying the
beautiful underwater scenery.
WRAPPING UP THE DAY
Afterwards we headed back to the
beach club to relax. The beach club
is equipped with a swimming pool,
sunbathing spots, restrooms and
changing rooms, a volleyball court,
a restaurant and a lounge. Free Wi-
Fi is also available.
It took us only an hour to sail back
to Bali. Time ew by as we enjoyed
sundowners and another round of
free ow drinks and fresh fruit, and
by 5:00 p.m. the journey was over.
Its an experience I really recommend
whether youre one half of a
traveling couple, here with a group
of friends, or have children with you!
WakaSailing trips run every
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
for US$ 135/person and half price
applies for children 5 to 12 years

AT SEMINYAKS URCHIN GRILL AND RAW BAR,
PREMIUM SEAFOOD DISHES ARE METICULOUSLY
PREPARED AND PRESENTED TO THE DELIGHT OF
DISCERNING DINERS.
RAW
DELIGHT
Trout Coral Carpaccio
FRESH FINDS
Inspiration comes mainly from the
outstanding locally sourced sh from
Indonesian waters, especially the
red snapper, barramundi and yellow
n tuna. Indonesia is the worlds
second largest sh producer and
offers exceptional sh so good that
Skelly imports very few sh products,
normally just the Tasmanian salmon
and the urchins that are air freighted
twice weekly from Japan.
In Chef Skellys opinion, local
sh can be invariably let down
by inferior handling, preparation,
and cooking techniques. So he not
only handpicks the nest quality
and freshest sh in the market
from carefully chosen sources and
suppliers, but he and his kitchen
team also purchase the seafood
whole and prepare it themselves
with top-notch methodology from
cleaning and deboning to tartare
treating each sh with reverence.
U
rchin is the kind of
sought-after seafood
that is classed
alongside caviar as a
great delicacy, and it
seems only tting that the new niche
seafood restaurant in downtown
Seminyak is named after it. In just
a handful of months the Urchin Grill
and Raw Bar already has seafood
acionados, foodies and off-duty
chefs hooked on its ever-changing
market dictated menu.
Helmed by Chef Stephen
Skelly, the former head chef at
Sydneys famed Pier Restaurant,
it is perhaps his twelve years of
culinary experience in Australia that
has nurtured his passion for and
mastery of fresh seafood. When
given the opportunity to open his
own restaurant in Bali, backed by
The Colony Hotel, the British chef
chose contemporary seafood as the
restaurants core offering.
Preparation is key, declares
the chef. Each sh has its own
personality and characteristics,
so different techniques should be
used. You cant just lump them all
together.
Chef Skelly may come across
as your typical rock n roll chef
with his spiky hair, London accent
and opinionated manner, but
dont be deceived. He also bears
the perfectionism and wisdom
of a Japanese sushi master and
his meticulous sh selection and
preparation errs on the side of
obsessive. You can taste the high
quality and insane freshness, and
each dish is presented beautifully.
Urchin is seafood-led, produce-
driven and strives to deliver
exceptional standards without the
fuss of ne dining, says Skelly. The
menu items are not cheap (Entrees
start at Rp. 90,000 while Mains
start at Rp. 160,000), but you

pay for what you get, without the
pretentiousness.
The ambiance is modern and
stylish yet casual and intimate, like
an extended family dining room.
Within, the simplistic textured
interiors feature recycled wood
bench tables, timbered oors and
an open kitchen of gleaming steel
(note the copper urchins swimming
across the walls). Outside, the street
side patio edged with comfy sofas is
a suitable spot for cocktails from 3
or fabulous seafood delicacies in
too small a quantity for the main
menu.
A fair part of the Entrees
section is devoted to raw dishes,
including Bites + Starters like the
Individual Cones of Tartare, playfully
suspended in a metal holder.
A Pier signature is the Coral Trout
Carpaccio thinly sliced trout that
is delicately acidic and complex
with fennel pollen and dill oil sauce
accentuated with fern tips and
broccoli (I could eat bucket loads of
the stuff).
The Yellow Fin Tartare is
conversely robust and deep avored,
with chunky red cubes laced in soy,
mirin, caviar and enoki mushroom
p.m. onwards try the Hibiscus Kiss,
which is a wonderful mix of hibiscus-
infused vodka, muddled orange and
kemangi.
TAKING THE BAIT
The market-dictated menu ensures
that aside from the sashimi and
tartares, guests can look forward to
an ever-changing Raw Bar menu.
It relies on availability on a daily
basis perhaps a shipment of freshly
shucked oysters in from Sydney
Clockwise from top:
An Individual Cone of Tartare suspended
in a metal holder, Chunky red cubes of
Yellow Fin Tartare, The Passion Fruit Soufe
come from land, featuring top-grade
Wagyu and Black Angus Australian
beef. Urchin has also just launched a
new Lunch Menu with lighter dishes
such as sushi, salads like Seared
Tuna Nicoise and Bintang Battered
Fish n Chips. Whatever catches
your fancy, youll probably fall for
Urchin hook, line and sinker.

dressing. And the Roasted Scallops
are cooked to succulent perfection;
its amazing, as theyre frozen all
the way from Alaska, but youd
never know due to de-thawing the
correct way a methodical water
extracting technique.
For Mains, the Crispy Red
Snapper surrounded by carrot,
glazed almonds and sherry vinegar
puree showcases Chef Skellys
cooking skills. A custom-made
weight keeps the skin at and crisp
while containing the steam, ensuring
a melt-in-your-mouth result. Fettuccini
with Seaweed and Urchin Butter
makes use of urchins in post-Raw Bar
shelf life. And its all complimented
by house-made sourdough bread (so
good that I would come just for that)
and chilled light white wines and
champagnes.
Tropically inspired desserts
deliciously balance out the saltwater
indulgence. The divine Passion
Fruit Souf is served with a smile
literally with one of the wait staff
carving a smiley face into the souf
crust at the table to reveal humor
and the delicately tangy passion fruit
sauce underneath.

eeping up with this
months theme of
hidden gems
where some might be
hiding in plain sight
we decided to review a great
little spa in a very easy to access
location. Theres a good chance
conveniently accessed from the
main throughway of Sunset Road
and is slowly growing busier, as an
increasing number of little cafs and
street vendors have been popping
up with every passing day. The
Fontana Hotel actually has its own
popular hangout called Sunny 16
you might have even passed it once
or twice during your travels to Bali
(specically if you were in the Kuta
area) without even realizing it was
there.
Suma Spa is located on the
rooftop of the Fontana Hotel on
Dewi Sri Street. This street is

a cute 24-hour caf where patrons
can be seen biding time in groups
by playing board games, sipping on
coffee and nibbling at cakes.
But if you take the elevator up to
the top level of the hotel, youll nd
an entirely different environment
awaits. Exiting the elevator, a cool
and inviting breeze will envelop
you as you follow the open-air stone
lined path that leads to the sliding
glass doorways of Suma Spa.

RECONNECT & REVIVE
Suma Spa focuses on Zen healing,
with the goal of helping guests
achieve a balance of body, mind
and spirit. The bright, clean and
simple dcor denitely reects this
philosophy, and in the quiet waiting
room there is even a mini Zen
sandbox with rake available to help
guests clear their mind and let go
of the demands of daily life before
entering the treatment area.
The Zen Therapy a la carte
menu offers the likes of a one-hour
Zen Massage (US$ 54) for overall
wellbeing and the Zen Stone
Therapy (1 hr 40 min; US$ 71),
which involves an intense massage
with basalt stone that leaves muscles
deeply relaxed and recharges guests
with energy.
For the ultimate indulgence,
select the Zen Deep Relaxer
package (3 hrs 30 min; $US 139).
It incorporates Zen Shirodhara,
where warm coconut oil drops
on the third eye to awaken the
mind. This is followed by a coconut
hair treatment, a massage and a
mangosteen facial.
THE POWER
OF MANGOSTEEN
For those who nd themselves in
Southeast Asia for the very rst time,
you might have no idea what a
mangosteen is, or be aware of the
many benets that this fruit contains.
Mangosteens grow in consistently
warm areas and are a favorite fruit
here in Indonesia; the thick purple
skin can be peeled back to reveal
a juicy white fruit that is sweet
and tangy.

LIGHT BITES
We caught up with restaurateur Chef Luke Mangan of
Salt tapas & bar during one of his recent visits to Bali.
Bali & Beyond (BB): Youve got numerous Salt restaurants
around the world, including the one in Jakarta. What makes
Salt tapas & bar in Seminyak unique?
Luke Mangan (LM): I love Bali, and Ive always liked this
location [at Peppers Sentosa Seminyak]. Its sort of off the
beaten track and I think when people walk in, they go
Wow. Youve got the pool its very sort of Miami/L.A.
And our food is quite different to anything else in Bali. Theres
no point in doing a restaurant where all your competitors are
doing the same.
BB: So thats why you chose to do little bites and tapas
instead of something like what you have in Jakarta?
LM: We thought about doing a Salt grill here, but there are
so many restaurants with a grill concept and I just thought we
needed something different.
BB: What are your personal favorites on the Salt tapas menu?
LM: Well, the sashimi with ginger dressing is a signature,
the licorice parfait for dessert We do great pork sliders.
Those things are some of my favorites. Theres also a beautiful
halloumi salad with chickpeas; theres a nice sh tagine. Its
all about sharing.
BB: Would you recommend Salt tapas for families?
LM: Yeah! The family program on Sundays is building and Im
going to do it on Saturdays as well.
BB: How would you describe Bali?
LM: Relaxing, peaceful, calming when youre not in traf c!
Great food, beaches I really enjoy it. I kind of switch off
when I come here, which is nice. And I think that shows in the
restaurant, too. I want it to be relaxed and casual. Were not
ne dining.
If youre in the Uluwatu area at dinnertime, you should try
SONO Teppanyaki at the Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort
& Spa. The boisterous and cheeky chefs had us chuckling
throughout the entire meal, and we were absolutely stuffed
by the end. We especially recommend this if you have kids
in tow.
Heres a fun fact you can use the pool at Peppers
Sentosa for free! So grab your swimsuit, round up
your pals and enjoy a dip. When your stomach
starts to grumble, youll know exactly what to
do next.

WEVE FOUND THE PERFECT HIDEAWAY FOR
COUPLES SEEKING QUIET TIME IN A COZY SETTING
WITH THE SOUNDTRACK OF CRASHING WAVES
AND ITS IN EAST BALI.
THE NIRWANA
Coconut trees surround the innity pool
facing the sea, and though there is no
beach, the view of the Indian Ocean is
positively hypnotizing
Located only 1.5 hours from the
Ngurah Rai International Airport,
Candidasa is a charming seaside
area that is reminiscent of South Bali
years ago. In Amlapura there is an
adorable resort called The Nirwana
with 18 garden facing and ocean
facing villas. So no matter which
villa you stay in, youre guaranteed
the bonus of being lulled to sleep by
the sound of crashing waves.
T
here is no denying that
Ubud and Uluwatu
are ideal locations for
couples who want to
stay holed up during
their time in Bali. But for those who
have already been to Bali a handful
of times, or those who want to go
somewhere more off the beaten
track, East Bali offers idyllic settings
that are just as easy to reach.

QUIET AND QUAINT
The Nirwana is not particularly
ashy, nor does it boast the kind of
interior design or amenities that you
would nd in the modern hotels of
South Bali. However, it does exude
the kind of old Bali charm that is
subtle and comforting, and in a way
quite addicting. The staff there tread
lightly and speak softly, but at the
same time are relentless in ensuring
that guests enjoy their stay.
Coconut trees surround the
modest innity pool facing the sea,
and though there is no beach, just a
wall that drops down to the water,
the azure colors of the Indian Ocean
that are visible from the pool and
the resorts restaurant are positively
hypnotizing. Aside from the view,
the restaurant offers a surprisingly
Biaha. Further north is Amed (check
out last months edition to read
about free diving in this area), and
Tulamben with its famous USAT
Liberty wreck dive site.
To have a relaxing day
somewhere closer to the resort, try
White Sand Beach. To be fair, the
sand here is not as white as what
you would nd in Uluwatu or Pecatu,
but it is a pleasant and clean beach
with sun loungers for hire and simple
kiosks offering food, beverages and
massages at fair prices.
To get some culture, hire a car
and spend the day exploring Tirta
Gangga and Taman Ujung. Theres
also the option of touring Tenganan
village, which you can read all
about in the CRAFT & CULTURE
section of this edition.
For our last recommendation,
well let you in on a little secret.
There is a place by the sea where a
man named Charlie has a chocolate
factory ask The Nirwana staff
to help arrange your visit as there
is no signage on the road. Aside
from chocolate, Charlies team also
makes lovely soaps on the premises.
Our all-time favorite discovery there
was the sea-facing swing that looks
like it was plucked out of a dream
(turn to page 40 in this edition to see
our snapshot of it).

never wanted a dog! I arrived
on the island with my backpack
and no xed agenda, but one
fateful morning a shy little Bali
puppy with black fur and white
spotty legs came wandering into my
guesthouse in Kuta and changed my
life forever.
She was a mangy little thing, all
covered in ticks. I trotted her off to
the vet who said she was close to
dying. I fed her and cleaned her up
and asked the manager if she could

enthusiastic, but he didnt say no.
And with just a little TLC she has
now been saved.
We call her Lucky, because she
had indeed struck a lucky day when
she wandered into our big grassy
Eden full of backpackers, where
she was cuddled and coddled and
grew into a rambunctious pup. The
Balinese staff kept a wary distance;
none of them had ever had a pet
dog before.
While in some countries dogs are
cherished pets, the traditional role
of a Bali dog (closely related to the
dingo) is a guard dog, protecting
homes and compounds from human
intruders, evil spirits and snakes. But
they watched and laughed as Lucky
chased imaginary (or not) spirits
around the garden, caught ies, got
into ghts with the big old tom cats,
joyfully ripped apart Birkenstocks,
and enthusiastically shook paws for
banana jafes at breakfast.
And one by one, all the staff
eventually fell in love with her,
because they saw what happens
when you love a Bali dog. Lucky
with her black shiny coat, cheerful
nature and Scooby Doo-like vocal
range, was becoming a mascot
for Bali dogs, a glowing example
of just how awesome, funny and
companionable a Bali dog can be.
Nearly two years later when Lucky
and I moved out to the rice elds,
the staff begged me not to take her,
but by then there was no denying
she was my dog.
She was truly one of the lucky
ones; sadly, many Bali puppies
(especially females) are simply
abandoned. Some survive or
manage to nd a home but others
are left to eke out an existence as
street scavengers, prone to disease
and abuse. But things have come a
long way since my rst trip to Bali in
2002, when my impressions of the
island were dominated by visions
of the beautiful tropical owers
that proliferated in Ubud, and the
malnourished, mangy dogs that
roamed its streets.
Twelve years later, BAWA (Bali
Animal Welfare Association) has
done much to improve the lives
of dogs and animals in general
in Bali, providing an ambulance
service, street-side care and mobile
sterilization clinics. When rabies
broke out a few years ago, it was
BAWA who jumped into action
providing mass vaccinations.
Animal welfare is understandably
not always a top priority in
developing nations, so some of
BAWAs most important work has
been in the area of education and
awareness.
Sustainable animal welfare
will only be achieved through
efforts at a grassroots level, says
BAWA founder Janice Girardi.
She has introduced fun and
innovative programs to schools and
communities across the island, the
most popular being The Bali Dog
Idol competition, where school kids
are given young pups and taught
how to look after them over a period
of months leading up to the well-
attended nal where the best looked-
after puppy wins.
Over in the village of Suwat in
Gianyar, BAWA in collaboration
with IFAW (International Fund for
Animal Welfare) have launched a
pilot program called Participate,
Learn, Act. Working with village
leaders, children and womens
groups over a period of two years,
they have encouraged independent
responsibility for animal welfare and
taught the villages how to properly
care for their animals.
As Janice says, Many Balinese
previously thought Bali dogs were
aggressive, could not be handled
and could not make good pets. In
Suwat, people now understand that
the opposite is true and they really
love their dogs.
In fact, the villagers are so proud
of their canine companions that they
formed the islands rst Bali Dog
Club to protect the heritage breed,
believed to be one of the oldest
and most genetically pure in the
word. They also staged the islands
rst-ever independently run dog
competition in December of
last year.
Animal lover and Banjar head,
Pak Wayan Sugiarta, dressed up his
three dogs Blacky, Edo and Rambo
in preparation for the contest,
proudly walking them around the
village in the days leading up to the
event. He claims, The aspiration of
our people is that they are willing to
support and preserve the Bali dog so
the breed will not disappear from the
Island of the Gods.
BAWA does incredible and truly
inspirational work in the community,
but their survival depends on
donations and public support. Check
out www.bawabali.com to nd out
more. If you are thinking of getting
a dog, please stay local and adopt
a Bali puppy. They are smart, funny,
hardy and incredibly loyal. They
also make fantastic guard dogs and
need our help to survive.

Closest living relative to the Dodo bird. A monogamous bird that

Sumatran Elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus)
This animal can weigh up to 4,000 kilograms and may eat up to

70 years in captivity.
Asian Forest Tortoise (Manouria emys)
This tortoise exhibits the highest level of paternal care and protection.
When potential predators threaten the eggs, the mother will defend them
by sprawling her body over the eggs. It is also the only tortoise that lays its
eggs above ground in a nest.
Lion (Panthera leo)
They hunt in groups but an individual lion does the actual killing. A pride is
a community of up to 40 lions with one alpha male.
Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae)
The smallest of all tigers, they are adept at scooping up sh from rivers.
A tigress will bear a litter of up to six cubs but only one estimated cub from
each litter survives to maturity. The tigress raises the cub without any contact
with the father.

BALI IS KNOWN FOR ITS BABI GULING, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
TOURISTS WHO CANT EAT PORK?
By Joseph Wang
NO PORK, PLEASE
B
ali is a part of
Indonesia, a country
where the Islamic
faith is practiced
by a majority of the
population. Domestic tourists are
among those who ock to the island,
and we noticed that they often
have a hard time nding places
to eat. Friends of ours have posed
the simple question, Do you know
any restaurants where they dont
serve pork? and quite honestly the
question bafed our team at BALI &
BEYOND. So, we decided to look
into it. Read on to learn about a
handful of places that guarantee
specializes in seafood and meat.
One of their signature dishes is the
Sixteen Spices Baked Barramundi,
where a beautiful barramundi sh
is wrapped in a banana leaf and
then baked and grilled. Come with
a group so you can order a whole
sh to share instead of having to
order the sh llet from the a la carte
menu. We also recommend ending
your meal with a delicious Banana
Split!

your meal will not be cooked
alongside any pork products.
BIG FISH
BAR & GRILL
In the middle of bustling Kuta there is
a restaurant that does not serve pork
hidden in one of the most lavish
hotels in the area. Big Fish Bar &
Grill at The Stones Hotel is perfect
to try on a weekend night because
you can nd a spot by the pool and
enjoy dining alfresco, accompanied
by the sound of live music.
As you might have already
guessed from the name, this
restaurant serves up grilled fare and

KUKUSAN
STEAMED BUNS
If you happen to be in Seminyak and
crave some light bites or refreshing
drinks, head to Kukusan Steamed
Buns. This recently-opened little
shop is located not far from popular
Oberoi Street and offers great
snacks and friendly service in a
rustic and laidback atmosphere.
The menu consists of a range of
Chinese-style steamed buns with
llings that are a mix of east and
west, ranging from German sausage
all the way to Middle Eastern spiced
lamb. There are no pork options on
the menu, so you can rest assured
that their kitchen is pork free.
Our favorite part of Kukusan
is their menu of non-alcoholic
beverages. They really hit the
spot on a hot and lazy day in
Bali! The Passionate Mango is
basically a blend of mango and
passion fruit that is light, tropical
and refreshing. Another must-order
is the Lychee & Friends, which is
a concoction of orange, lemon,
lime and lychee served in a chilled
tin. Its reminiscent of a mojito but
absolutely alcohol-free the perfect
accompaniment to your afternoon
snack.

There are absolutely no pork

The 300 gram Rib Eye is one of
their specials, but a must-try for the
carnivores out there is the 400 gram
Porterhouse. This huge slab of meat
is grilled to perfection and tastes
perfect paired with their Wasabi

RAJAS BALINESE
RESTAURANT
This Balinese restaurant is located in
the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa,
a lovely hotel that happens to be
the oldest in the area but is by no
means old fashioned. Their elegant
restaurant Rajas is a must-try for
those who want to taste authentic
Balinese avors in a ne dining
setting.
The word raja is translated
as king and you will denitely
have a dining experience here
that is t for a king. Some of the
treasured recipes even come from
the chefs very own family vault.
The restaurant recently renewed
its Halal certication from MUI this
past August, which we are sure
is delightful news to all the halal-
seeking food enthusiasts out there.
Rajas is only open for dinner,
and we recommend ordering a set
menu for a true Balinese experience.
Their Ayam Betutu can be shared
with a group a mouthwatering
whole chicken marinated in 16
Balinese spices, wrapped in palm
leaves and slow cooked. The
traditional desserts are also not
to be missed. We were instantly
transported back to our childhoods,
as the avors and textures of their
sweets are just like what you would
nd in the traditional markets.

IF YOUVE EVER WANTED TO SOAR LIKE A
SUPERHERO OR SWIM LIKE A DOLPHIN, THEN
AQUAFLIGHT FLYBOARDING SHOULD BE NEXT
ON YOUR TO-DO LIST.
S
tep into a pair of
wakeboard boots
attached to a water jet
propulsion system, and
before you know it youll
be ying into and out of the ocean,
and then hovering meters above
it with seemingly magical powers!
Katie and Richard Sills, the sibling
duo with South Sea Nomads, have
just brought Aquaight Flyboarding
to Gili Trawangan and they are the
only operator offering this special
experience on the island.
Pebbles, their custom 66 foot
handcrafted Philippine Bangka boat
is moored just offshore, and serves
as a base station for the yboarding
sessions. The water propulsion system
is a 125cc Jet Ski engine that has
been cleverly retrotted by Richard
to reside in Betty, a customized
aluminum jet boat that is perfectly
suited for the sport of yboarding.
Flyboarders begin their adventure
by heading out to Pebbles from
the main dock on a dinghy named
Wilma. After watching one of the
local experts demonstrate the proper
technique and the many impressive
maneuvers, riders are prepped and
ready to launch.
Its amazing to witness the array
of stunts that can be performed,
including ying underwater, back
dives and launching high into the air
like a breaching whale. Watching
someone hover 3-4 meters high with
water shooting from beneath their
feet is simply mystifying! When its
your turn, youll don a helmet and a
special vest, step into the boots and
y. Yabadabadoooo!
At rst it is a bit intimidating to
strap the metal contraption onto your
feet and then lower yourself into the
water, but youll quickly realize that
even when idle the jets propel your
feet upward instead of sinking. Lay
on your stomach while the operator
powers up, and instantly youre
pushed through the water as if you

have the tail of a dolphin.
Once youre a safe distance from
the boat and feel condent, relax
your body, let your feet fall beneath
you, and give the two thumbs up
signal for the ride of your life. It
slowly and smoothly lifts you up and
Recent developments have
applied the same principals, but the
backpack has been replaced by a
small booted platform. This allows
the rider to be unencumbered by a
jet pack and to y in and out of the
water like a sh. Riders can hover
motionless like a hummingbird or
perform a myriad of stunts once they
have progressed in technique and
gained condence.
It only takes a few minutes to be
able to perform basic maneuvers like
hovering and diving. Turning is the
most challenging task and takes the
combined skills of snowboarding,
surng and skateboarding to master.
Although a Flyboarding World
out of the water like youre oating
on air. Thats when the real fun
begins!
With a slight tilt of the ankles
youll nd yourself ying over
the surface of the water before
plunging forward into the ocean.
Almost instantly youre back out of
the water and into the air. Its a
challenge to keep your mouth from
lling with seawater, as laughing
nonstop is the natural reaction.
Cup Championship does exist,
yboarding is still a relatively young
sport. Originally it was developed
with a re hose attached to a jet pack
strapped to a pilots back, with water
shooting straight down to propel him
skyward. The hose trailed beneath
the waters surface and was attached
to a Jet Ski motor on the other end.
As the water pressure increased, the
pilot ew higher or faster depending
on the direction he was facing.
South Sea Nomads offers
Aquaight Flyboarding sessions year
round from their beach side kiosk on
the main street in Gili Trawangan
(just across from Gili Hostel). Each
session includes 20 minutes of y
time (it feels like an hour!) and costs
US$ 85. They offer a 10% discount
or extra y time for groups of four
or more, and a 33% discount on
10-hour packages that are good
for up to one year. They also offer
parasailing and wake boarding.

CONTRIBUTOR YOPPY PIETER JOURNEYS TO
AN ISOLATED VILLAGE IN EAST JAVA
WHERE BUDDHISM FLOURISHES LIKE THE
SURROUNDING GREEN FIELDS.
BLOSSOMING
BUDDHISM
N
gatono recited
in Javanese,
Kudu welas
asih marang
sepada-pada
ning urip, ojo teksio marang
sepada-pada ning urip,
which essentialy means All
living creatures must love one
another; let a sense of fairness
be encouraged amongst fellow
mortals.
A patterned piece of amethyst-
colored cloth was wrapped around
the old mans shoulders. As he
smiled, the traces of wisdom painted
by old age were evident on his face.
As one of the elders in the
Buddha Jawasanyata council, it is
Ngatonos task to keep the religious
peace in Ngadas, the village of his
birth that he now serves. Buddha
Jawasanyata was practiced by the
entire village until the mid-80s,
but then gradually the community
also began to embrace Islam and
Hinduism.
Ngatono welcomes the change
surprisingly. In life, we have to love
each other, he said. We should
not let differences stand in the way
of our happiness.
A COMPLEX HISTORY
With grandfatherly patience,
Ngatono explained to me how the
teachings of Dharma have only
been applied to his village for a few
decades now.
It was 1992 when their followers
of Buddha Jawasanyata were rst
exposed to the grand spiritual gure
of Siddharta Gautama. The fact
that there were Buddhists who were
unfamiliar with Siddharta Gautama
might raise some eyebrows, but the
tale is as intricate as the contours of
the landscape that kept Ngadas and
the Jawasanyata teachings isolated
for more than three centuries.
Jawasanyata used to be the only
concept the Ngadas villagers were
familiar with. In Jawasanyata, God
is called Sang Hyang Wenang
and is at the top of the theological
ladder, worshipped as the ruler of
the universe. Right below is Eyang
Ibu Bumi (Grandmother of Earth),
who is worshipped for ensuring the
earths fertility. And then there are
Ki Semar and Sri Raja Mahadewa
Buddha; both believed to be Gods
messengers and spiritual gurus
teaching of compassion.
During the political upheaval in
1965, the New Order regime issued
a policy where each and every
Indonesian citizen had to choose
one of the countrys ofcial religions:
Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism,
Protestantism, or Islam. Everyone
else would be considered atheist or
communist, and therefore enemies
of the state who faced persecution.
Even those in the most remote areas
of the archipelago were made
aware of this.
In the early 70s we decided
to choose Buddhism. The reason
was obvious; not only did the
Jawasanyata teach us Ngadas
people to walk in the way of
Buddhism, but we were also familiar
with Sri Raja Mahadewa Buddha,
witnessed the happiness radiating
from their faces. They seemed to
so look forward to celebrating the
birthday of Siddharta Gautama, the
spiritual teacher that they had just
gotten to know.
Only recently we started
celebrating Vesak in Sumberawan
under the guidance of Walubi I
think it was around 1998, said
a villager named Pawi while
wrapping a piece of cloth around
his head. But next week well
hold our own Vesak celebration
in Ngadas and invite Walubi and
our friends from other sects to come
and share the joy.
Four decades ago the charming
people in this hidden Shangri-
La began to practice Buddha
Jawasanyata, with the concept
of Dharma applied less than two
decades ago. Although their unique
beliefs have the potential to create
dispute, the people in the area keep
the peace by holding fast to the
idea that differences are created by
God as a source of happiness, not
chaos.
By Yoppy Pieter
EAST JAVA
INDONESIA
Ngatono explained. Hence, the
birth of Buddha Jawasanyata.
He chuckled as he recalled
the rst time he saw Siddhartha
Gautama on an altar in 1992, and
began to learn about the different
rituals practiced by the various sects
under Walubi. Walubi is short for
Perwakilan Umat Buddha Indonesia
Indonesias most notable Buddhist
organization.
On the second of November in
1992, I decided to dig deeper into
Buddhism, he said. For three years,
as he gathered information on how
to establish an organization under
Walubi in Malang, he learned about
the teachings of Dharma.
CELEBRATING VESAK
The day following our conversation
the villagers of Ngadas headed
to the city of Malang, as they had
been invited by Walubi to celebrate
Vesak together. The old man invited
me along so that I could see for
myself the special rituals of Buddhas
birthday celebration.
Fog hid the morning sun as the
people of Ngadas piled into the back
of a truck. In the bed of the moving
truck I stood among the villagers and

would always be his main

Some like it fruity, dry, light
or heavy. From there the

The truth is, he adds, other
than the suggested basic
principal above; there are no
good or bad way of matching

However, ofen when
peoples have their preferred

be for wine lovers to keep
an open mind, let the palate

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.
