household problems, education, the economy, religion and politics. In bondres, the discussion of these topics is done in the form of witty jokes. It can be said that bondres serves to balance out the seriousness of what is being discussed. Bondres has become an integral part of Calonarang performances as well as the Topeng Pajegan Dance, Panca Dance and Prembon Dance. Unlike other Balinese dances, bondres does not require xed or special movements. Performers are free to express themselves as they wish, which includes making their own masks to suit their characters.

On top of this they need to be able to spontaneously come up with hilarious jokes that can get audiences not only laughing but also thinking about the issues being discussed in the skits. Bondres literally means jokes made by Balinese masked dancers when they perform on stage. The word can also be used to refer to the funny types of Balinese masks used during comedic performances.
EVERYDAY PEOPLE
All funny characters can be called bondres, said I Nyoman Catra, a lecturer at the Indonesian Institute of Arts (ISI) Denpasar. He explained that bondres characters are like ordinary people with their daily routines. They discuss a variety of topics such as personal and

Each mask is said to be lled with a special energy to help the pregina (dancer) achieve taksu (an inner energy that draws audiences
into the meaning of the dance). In addition to the mask, another factor contributing to the success of the bondres performance is the situation, condition and time, known as the concept of desa, kala, patra in Balinese-Hindu philosophy. When we perform bondres, we are not only entertaining the

That is why before the performance we always pray and hope for the play to go well, explained Catra, who has performed bondres since 1978. bondres players make. But the amount of laughter coming from the audience is not the primary measure of the success. Dirty, vulgar or even insulting words exchanged between performers may make audiences crack up but it can also prevent the play from being successful. Nyoman Catra emphasized the importance of inserting moral messages so that audiences can learn and have something to ruminate on later. These messages must be conveyed in a way that is not patronizing, in order to make them easier to accept. By Anggara Mahendra

Sitting within the grounds of the family-friendly Bali Dynasty Resort in Kuta, this watering hole offers an authentic and classic Irish cottage pub atmosphere with dark wooden panels, plush armchairs and stained glass windows. Frequented mostly by foreigners living on the island and visitors of the hotel, the pub lends feelings of warmth and familiarity when you walk in. Live bands perform every night, but that is not the only kind of entertainment there. There are also two medium-sized pool tables and a dartboard for you to use to your hearts content, as well as a working vintage jukebox playing catchy tunes. For your lunch at Gracie Kellys, I would suggest the Cheesy Shepherds Pie, which is moreish minced lamb cooked in gravy with green peas, topped with creamy mashed
potatoes and melted mozzarella, and served hot with plenty of greens to balance out the sinfully delicious pie. A more extravagant option is Gracies Hot Stone your choice of grilled rib-eye, lamb or marinated pork set on a very hot lava stone and served with grilled vegetables, your choice of potatoes and two kinds of mouthwatering sauces. As for the tipples, Gracie Kellys recently acquired the iconic Kilkenny red Irish beer. Pair a pint with your meal and take the experience of being at a real Irish pub even further. The pub often plays Irish folk music in the background; for a moment you might even forget youre in Bali. By Miko Harada Gracie Kellys Jalan Kartika Plaza, Kuta (0361) 765-700 www.balidynasty.com

Bali & Beyond (BB): What motivated you to organize the Ubud Village Jazz Festival? Anom Darsana (AD): I used to have an art center in Denpasar called Serambi Arts Antida where a lot of local artists and people from the music community gathered. I held a monthly Jazz Rendezvous there with the help of one of Balis prominent Jazz artists, Yuri Mahatma. After the center closed down, Yuri and I decided we wanted to continue the Jazz Rendezvous and Ubud felt like the perfect place for it. Thats how the Ubud Village Jazz Festival (UVJF) came to be.
AD: We didnt really meet any big obstacles in preparing for UVJF, as our team started to organize everything one year prior. Also, my experience working in international festivals like the Bali Spirit Festival, Ubud Writers Festival and various festivals in Switzerland helped me a lot in organizing this event. BB: We hear that lots of jazz performers come to Indonesia to perform (whether at Java Jazz Festival or other festivals) and fall in love with the crowd. What is it about jazz lovers here that you think resonates with them?
with and who would you like to work with in the future? AD: There are so many great jazz musicians here in Bali; Ive worked with Yuri Mahatma, Rio Sidik Quartet, Ito Kurdhi, Astrid Sulaiman, and Balawan. As for international artists, Ive had the opportunity to work with Diana Krall, but that wasnt in Bali, it was in Geneva. In the future Id like to engineer the sound for Erik Truffaz from Switzerland. BB: Any thoughts on the live music scene in Bali? AD: I think theres a severe lacking
AD: I think there are some factors BB: Tell us about the demographic of UVJF? AD: Our rst ever UVJF was held in July 2013 and was a big success despite the rather unfavorable weather. About 1,500 people of all ages came to the event. So really, this festival is for all music lovers. BB: What was the hardest thing about preparing for the rst UVJF? aside from the enthusiastic crowd that make jazz performers from outside Indonesia fall in love, for example, the Indonesian atmosphere is so different to Europe and other western countries. Many artists that performed at UVJF were dazzled by Ubud as well as the warm and welcoming people. There were even some who didnt want to go back home because of how much they loved it.
in the live music scene in Bali and very few places where music and art communities can gather and be creative without being hassled by expensive costs. This is why I called Antida Sound Garden. The idea behind opening up this venue is to accommodate local artists and musicians so that they can develop their creativity freely. There are so many talented musicians here that need space to show their art.

Kundalini massage helps to balance, strengthen and stimulate the nervous system, combining Argan oil from Morocco the most benecial, purest and organic of oils, blended with rose and geranium and warmed poultices lled with Himalayan salts. Some of the poultices contain a small rose quartz stone, which are individually placed on the bodys seven chakras. Similar to salt and water, crystals also emit healing negative ions that cleanse and detoxify. When crystals are warmed or used with salt, they provide positive effects to human energy and emotions; rose quartz is the Mother of all crystals as its the stone of love, the Chakra heart stone, and radiates good energy frequencies! This sublime spa session was rounded-off with an Ayurvedic marma face massage, which stimulates the marma points and removes blockages, followed by a post-treatment chill in the soothing and relaxing. Both local sea salts and salt sourced from an ancient ocean in the Himalayan Mountains are used. When warmed by friction, the 250-million-yearold Himalayan salts emit negative ions, which have an uplifting and strengthening effect on the bodys bio-energy eld as well as cleanse the astral body and reduce pollutants. On a physical level, both scrubs exfoliate the skin and brighten the skins tone and texture, plus assist in health issues such as asthma and eczema. A rich clay mask is then applied over the scrub for maximum affect, which contains a high level of minerals in ion form that when they become warm emit large amounts of negative ions, thereby charging and restoring the bio-magnetic energy eld. Encased in this muddy concoction, I slip into a soothing oral bath in a stone bathtub in the sunshine-lled courtyard.

areas. Travelers sought out Kuta Beach for the waves, the laid-back vibe, the mesmerizing sunsets, and among other things, those baskets full of delicious fresh fruit teetering
here was a time when Jalan Pantai Kuta was the only place to be, back when development had not yet spread into other
precariously on local sellers heads! Over time, other parts of the island grew to become popular destinations for tourists as well, but Kuta Beach still remains a favorite, especially with the addition of Beachwalk and its 200-some retail outlets. New contemporary options for accommodation ensure that travelers no longer have to
rough it in order to be positioned close to this beach, a great example being the newly opened Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort.
SPARKLING VIEWS
Every single room and suite at the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort (there are 203 in total) boasts direct views of the beautiful Indian Ocean. This resort was denitely designed with the ocean in mind, as the rooftop pool and the open-air lobby also provide fantastic views of the sparkling blue waters just across the way.
48
The lobbys ocean view is actually one of the rst things that guests see at the top of the escalator, instead of the check-in area, which interestingly enough is tucked away in an opposite corner. This layout might be counterintuitive to some but it is completely intentional, as the Sheraton Kuta wants rst and foremost to greet its guests with a refreshing view after their journey.
The elegance here is understated, and Balinese accents have been incorporated but there is a bit of playfulness to the design. Some examples include the exhibitionist tub that can be seen from the bedroom or the surprising splashes of hot pink in the interior of their all-day dining option Feast. The Kuta area has always been laid-back and fun, so these kinds of accents make sense when you think about the neighborhood the resort is in. Another nice thing about Kuta is its central location. We think the Sheraton has the words meetings
and get-togethers written all over it. From their vast open-air lobby area to the social courtyard to the nine event spaces and ballroom, it practically begs you to bring a group whether friends, colleagues or your family. This atmosphere of togetherness also extends to their dining options.
FEAST TOGETHER
Your choices for Sunday Brunch in Bali are endless, but what sets the Sheratons apart is the market-style ambience. Not only can you feast on delicious buffet options such as eggs
49
and sausages, roast turkey, dim sum, sushi, made-to-order pasta, Japanese Teppanyaki, grilled seafood, an array of pastries and cakes, frozen yoghurt and illy coffee, but you can also purchase things to bring home such as wine and fresh produce! With an indoor childrens play area and a live band on the outdoor deck (just across from the grill station), feel free to take your time to brunch is offered. Market Brunch is open every Sunday from 12 to 3 p.m. and costs Rp. 135,000++ for children ages 4 to 12 and Rp. 270,000++ for adults (includes juices, tea and illy coffee). You can also add alcoholic beverages or Duval Leroy Brut Champagne for an additional fee. Aside from Market Brunch, the Sheraton also has a fantastic Italian restaurant called Bene. Open only for dinner, the beautiful dishware looks like it came straight out of mamas kitchen and the food tastes like it was prepared with mamas love too. We fell head over heels for the hot antipasti of Sardines and Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort Jalan Pantai Kuta, Kuta (0361) 846-5555 www.sheratonbalikuta.com the delicious Risotto ai porcini, and cannot wait to go back with friends to share another hearty portion.

o me, this string of clubs is such a refreshing sight. Walking down the street you can hear the thumping bass and
is welcome here. There are ve clubs sitting side by side with open windows and doors that make it very easy for people to go in and out as they please. By standing in a strategic spot on the pavement, youll be able to see whats going down at each place. Mixwell might be doing a drag show at the same time that Bali Joe has go-go dancers shaking their groove thing on a stage. Party people dance both inside and outside of the packed venues. Its a rare scene that you might not nd in many places outside of Bali. Dhyana Pura is always a fun place for me to visit. As a man who enjoys this kind of scene and has lived in Jakarta where venues like these are usually hidden within malls or ofce blocks, its nice to see it all out in the open. The parties at Dhyana Pura would be pretty much frowned upon in the capital (to say the least), while in Bali it is a noisy and carefree environment, plus you get the added bonus of a fresh breeze (the location is just a stones
throw away from the iconic Double Six Beach). Yet I still feel that theres something missing. It sometimes gets monotonous, so I believe that these clubs could denitely benet from some more varied kinds of entertainment. Perhaps something along the lines of stand-up comedy, or even drag karaoke. Other than that, I do believe that Dhyana Puras scene is pretty much up to par with its cousins in other countries. For those who are really not into this kind of scene, do not fret. Theres another personal favorite hang out of mine just down the street that I think is no less fun and entertaining. Maria Magdalena sits right at the beginning of the street on your right hand side a venue frequented by mostly the expats living on the island. They are open until super late and often host underground artists and musicians that are no less, or maybe even crazier, than their neighbors down the street. By Miko Harada
see swarms of people spilling out of these clubs, sometimes occupying almost half the width of the street. It is akin to Legian Street on weekends, except in this particular part of south Bali the weekend lasts seven days each week. Some of you might already be aware of whats really going on there, but for those of you who arent, heres a clue for you: masculine looking calves and feet jammed into sky-high platform heels, paired with fake eyelashes and feather boas, are not a rare sight here. Dhyana Pura is pretty quiet during the day and up until early evening, but when the clock hits 10 p.m. the crowds start to gather, the music gets turned up high, and the drag queens come out of their slumber. Although these small clubs are frequented mostly by men of, shall we say, a different persuasion, everyone

turns before nally plunging into a pool at the bottom. Afterwards I climbed up the stairs to the Boomerang. This particular waterslide was my favorite, as it sent me speeding down a steep slope on an inatable tube, climbing 60 degrees up and then pulling me backwards towards the bottom. What a rush! Next up, I headed up to a waterslide tower with six slides of
different thrill levels. The Smash Down is the highest and fastest slide in Waterbom, towering 25 meters above ground. When I reached the top of the almost vertigo-inducing height, the instructor gave me pointers on the proper way to go down the tubeless ride. The slide sent me accelerating down the pipe at up to 70 km per hour and for a moment it felt like I had left my heart at the top of the ride.

Another heart-stopping slide is the Climax. Entering a small chamber set 19 meters above ground and covered with transparent Perspex glass, the worst part about this ride is standing on the trapdoor and the anticipation as you wait for the trapdoor to open. As I took a sharp dip and looped around in the pipe, it felt crazy yet amazing. However, I honestly wasnt crazy enough to
have another go. Further up on the same tower is the most thrilling ride of all, the Pipeline. Its the second highest ride in the water park and sent me down the weaving 150 meter tube in just 12 seconds!

And the Lazy River isnt the only thing at Waterbom that offers a relaxing time. Lounge around the sunbathing area near the Pleasure Pool and work on your tan, sip a cocktail at their swim-up Splash Bar, or take a dip to cool down every so often. You can also properly unwind at the massage parlor where foot, back and shoulder massages are available, as well as sh spa treatment. If youre not crazy about being
in the sun all day long, I suggest booking a gazebo prior to your visit. It is perfect for groups of friends or families, and if you have small children, gazebos are also available near the Funtastic kiddy play area. Waterbom also has several eateries such as The Wantilan Restaurant, The Shack, and various food stalls that are ready to serve you when you get the munchies. I personally enjoyed The Shack for their great food menu, delicious smoothies and laidback tunes. All in all, Waterbom Bali is a great place

Jangkar Harbor in Asembagus. A number of things come to mind for Indonesians when they think of Madura, from delicious sate Madura to shrimp paste to their iconic red and white striped t-shirts a part of the areas traditional attire for men. But what Madura is really known for is their ox racing, called karapan sapi.
MIGHTY BULLS
Incorporating Maduras tough and hardy breed of oxen, karapan sapi is a prestigious event for the Madurese. Starting off in villages throughout Madura, the competition culminates in Pamekasan during the months of September and October, where contestants compete for the
69
Presidential Cup. Winning this prestigious event brings great honor upon the oxen owner and his or her village. Often times the prestige can raise the owners social status and the bull will be treated like a king, not only by the owner but also by the whole village. Theres even a saying that says the Madurese men treat their bulls better than their wives!
the left was a podium with the jury, committee members and the MC. Waiting near the starting line were the jockeys on their bamboo sleds, their oxen and their teams. The jockeys had quirky names on their yokes like meteor and komet in hopes that their animals would race as fast as their names.
READY, STEADY
When the rst contestants readied themselves at the starting line, things went very quiet. Then as the agman raised his ag, the bulls charged furiously down the dry and dusty track dragging the sled and the jockey with them. The crowd roared with excitement and speakers blared with the MCs enthusiastic commentary, shouted out in Madurese. The 600 kg oxen run madly, reaching speeds of up to 50 kph as the daredevil jockeys stand on their sleds. Holding onto the yoke, they do their best to control the direction of the charging bulls. The winner of

part of the island in Sumenep, and had to ask around a bit. When I nally got a tip-off, I made my way to another village in the Ambunten sub-district, arriving before noon the next day. Despite the scorching hot sun that day, people swarmed the open eld where the race was being held. The dirt track was fairly wide and about one hundred meters in length, with a brick wall at the end of the track. On

RISKY SPECTACLE
Its not rare for the oxen to run in unintended directions, so coming to one of these races as a spectator involves a certain degree of risk. What makes watching this particular race even more dangerous is the fact that unlike automobiles, there arent any brakes on the sleds. Hence the brick wall at the end of the track, positioned several meters away from the nish line. Daredevil acts arent displayed solely by the jockeys, as the spectators get just as crazy. Some stand at the nish line and burst into spontaneous helter-skelter behavior, either trying to slow down the charging bulls or running away. I got brave enough myself to stand near the nish line and it denitely got my adrenaline pumping. I was lucky to be able to dodge the speeding oxen, running away carrying my camera and tripod.

ADDED BONUSES
After the adrenaline-lled race I came back to Sumenep and toured the historically rich albeit sleepy town. The sights worth visiting include the historical buildings such as the kraton palace of Panembahan
Sumolo built in 1762 and a mosque built around the same time called Masjid Jamik. Besides these historical spots, Maduras villages are quite interesting to explore as well. The island is sparsely populated
with a peaceful and slow-paced lifestyle, the people are warm and welcoming, and their unique traditional high-roofed houses are a beautiful thing to behold. I also suggest a visit to the coastal area, as there you will nd beaches that might turn out to be the most pristine youve ever encountered.

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.
