ThRONGS of upscale fashion boutiques, fancy restaurants, and trendy clubs fill the streets of Seminyak – one of Bali’s

liveliest areas north of the raunchy scenes of Kuta and Legian. However some might find it hard to feel the tranquility and the laidback atmosphere of Bali which drew the first tourists to the island decades ago as the island is now a popular holiday destination. Many choose to go to Ubud for its bucolic ambiance, surrounded by rice terraces and calm-flowing streams, to get the authentic Balinese experience they dream of. But as is the case with other

places, the once quiet streets of Ubud is now studded with shops and restaurants, often conspicuously located right next to Hindu temples, palaces, or local traditional houses.

This time my coworkers and I head further northeast to find a relatively untouched and secluded patch of beach, far from the crowds and the hype in the southern part of the island. The waves are calm, the water is clear, and the skies are blue. Virgin Beach, as the name indicates, is a beautiful and quiet stretch of white sand beach, tinted with black volcanic ashes from the past eruptions of Mount Agung.

A stark contrast with Kuta, business in Virgin Beach – or Prasi as locals call it – only consists of several modest restaurants and t-shirt shops.

A lonesome old man with an unusual hairstyle sits under a blue beach umbrella, too focused on his tiny dictionary to care about what happens around him. Meanwhile a model sits on a nearby rock, striking poses you would only see on a swimsuit calendar. The combination of her flashy white bikini, tanned skin, blonde dyed hair, and erotic poses is such an absurd scene amid the calm-seeking sun-bathers on the beach.

On our way back from Prasi, I notice one thing that I have never seen before on my previous visits to Bali. A middle-aged lady walks on the street side nonchalantly bearing her breasts. Alexander who lived in Bali for 7 years during his childhood explains to me that the Balinese culture dictates all women to not cover their breasts once they have got married, contrary to many other cultures which require married women to wear more modest clothes.

Our search for a true Balinese village, off the trails of most tourists, finally brings us to Sidemen in the eastern part of Bali. Terraces of rice paddies and other

vegetables lie on our left side, sloping down to a river. While on the right side a dense forest provides shade to the sleepy road on which local residents lay coffee beans over mats made from plaited dried leaves. Going deeper into the countryside, we cross a bridge painted in bright yellow, exuding liveliness to this serene part of the island. Two foreigners with bottles of mineral water on their hands are walking down the road with a local guide, and they are the only visitors to this area other than us.

“This is how Ubud was like in the 70s,” Alexander describes.

The serenity of Bali – the island of gods – was shattered in 2002 and 2005 following

a series of deadly bombings, bringing a deep social and economic impact the island has never experienced before. Tourist numbers plummeted, hotels were deserted, businesses went bankrupt. Governments all around the world issued travel warnings to their citizens, further curbing foreign tourists from visiting the island. In a desperate attempt to restore the economy of Bali, the Indonesian government issued an unprecedented holiday policy. National holidays which fell on Tuesdays automatically made the Mondays holiday as well, also with holidays on Thursdays which made the Fridays holiday. In a way it did affect the productivity as people got more days off.

But in the other hand it encouraged people to travel more, especially to Bali.

Domestic tourists gradually brought back the economic pulse of the island back to normal. But it took a few more years until the foreign visitor numbers returned to the pre-bombing level. Visiting one of the locations where the 2005 bombings occurred, I find it hard to imagine that in a crowded seafood restaurant in Sanur dozens of lives were lost almost eight years ago.

Today the island’s tourism industry is thriving even stronger than ever. New hotels and restaurants have been built and more are still under construction – many of them are owned by foreign nationals.

Unfortunately some turned breathtaking beaches into private properties which can only be accessed by paying exorbitant entrance fees.

Vital infrastructures have been modernized, including a new airport terminal with the roof resembling the sea waves which is slated to be fully operational later this year. A new highway is also under construction which solves the issue of land acquisition – which hampers many infrastructure development projects elsewhere in the country – by building it over the sea. However that sparks another controversy over the environmental impact to the reef ecosystem. The spokesman of the state-owned enterprise which leads the consortium of the project stated that they have conducted a proper analysis of the environmental impact of this project. They made sure that there is no species in the IUCN Red List lives in the area and they are committed to reforesting the lost mangroves due to the construction of the highway. A commitment we all hope to be fulfilled.

Bali, as it has always been for centuries, will always be a fascinating and thriving place, attracting new waves of people from all over the world to come and even live in the island. People will come and go, businesses will flourish and fail, but the unique Balinese traditions will live on, hopefully.

As we approach this tiny island at 06.00 in the morning. I can see a beautiful sunrise at the edge of the

island. Waiting for a while then a small boat took us ashore to the island. A wooden gate with sign “Welcome to Satonda” welcoming us. There are two small neglected building in the side of the gate. Entering the gate, a small path leads us to the center of Satonda Island. After less than 5 minutes walking, we can see a huge lake with green color water. It’s so beautiful.Satonda island is an uninhabited island offshore of Sumbawa, a tiny island with width 4.8km and located at Nangamiru village. It is a famous island among the

international scientists for its salty lake in the middle of the island. It is a world miracle with natural beauty. The lake is 0.8 km in widht and the water inside the lake has tide which naturally following the high and low tide of the sea on its surrounding. Basically, satonda is a volcano that rise out the sea from the 2.000 BC. And the lake inside is the caldera of the mount Satonda. In 1815 when the Mt.Tambora which located in Dompu erupted, as the largest and most devastating eruption in human history, the eruption delivers huge waves which finally fill up the lake with salt water. The caldera today is a beautiful salt water lake; with lots of big trees grow surrounding.

You will also see a lot of mysterious hanging stones over what appear to be graves. The local believe these trees as trees of hope. By finding stone or coral nearby, hang it on the highest point and make a wish, and if you find the stone has not falling to the lake, your wishes may come true. You may believe it or not, but the stones has beautifully decorate the lake.Other things we can do other than swim on the lake is hiking following the step to the top of Satonda Island. From up the hill you will see the Flores Sea. On the way down, you will see a lot of big trees. It is home to enormous fruit bats and lots of other birds. You may only hear them chattering to each other and smell them in their abundance.After an hour exploring the island, it is time

for snorkeling on the beach. We may find a little disaapointed seeing some damaged coral. It caused of unresponsible fishermen who used bomb to catch fish, but we still can find some good spots with lots of beautiful coral, beautiful starfish, and colorful fishes. Satonda which has become a National Park in 1999 is a lovely island with quite beach and stunning lake view, a great place to escape and enjoy the natural beauty of the East. It is not easy to get to the island, especially when you travel through the mainland, but it is worth to visit.

The traditional village of Wae Rebo in the district of Manggarai on the island of Flores, East Nusa teneggara, has recently received the Top Award of

Excellence from UNESCO in the 2012 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Awards, announced in Bangkok on 27 August 2012 by defeating 42 competitors from all over the world.

Wae Rebo is a small and remote village. Located some 1,100 meters above sea level, where the air is cool. The village completely surrounded by panoramic mountains and the dense Todo forest. This tropical forest is rich in vegetation, where you will find orchids, different types of ferns and hear the chirping of many songbirds. It can be reached around 4 hours hike from main road. The hike is definitly worth the effort, the dense rain forest along the narrow path to wae rebo is one of stunning biological diversity.

Wae Rebo’s main characteristics are their unique houses, which they call Mbaru Niang that are tall and conical in shape and are

completely covered in palm leaf that form its rooftop down to the ground. It appears that at one time such kind of houses were quite common to the region. But today, it is only this village that continues to maintain the typical Manggarai traditional house, without which these unique houses would have been completely fazed out.

There are approximately 800 people living there, without electricity, signal, or television. The people of Wae Rebo make their houses themselves, all with very natural sources from the jungle.

Visitors are welcome to spend the night in the mbaru niang to socialize and dine with the Wae Rebo community. customarily they will serve you betel nut chew which is a tradition of Wae Rebo people.

IIndonesia is a giant archipelago nation that has over 17.500 islands. On one of its largest islands, Sumatra, is world’s largest volcanic lake. Lake Toba is a massive 100 km long and 30 km wide. The lake is surrounded

by the towering ridges that form the crater. The setting is quite the sight, especially in the morning when the sun hits the mist above the water, creating a great moment to take photos.

Underneath the lake remains a sleeping super volcano, which last erupted 70.000 years ago. Scientific experts believe the volcano changed live on earth. The eruption is considered the heaviest in the past 25 million years. The eruption covered entire south east Asia in ash, reaching as far as India, and with ash deposits as thick as 600 m near the crater. The eruption lasted over two weeks causing a decrease in global temperature by 3.5

°C. The eruption was so devastating that scientist believe that it caused extinction of many animal species and the deaths of nearly all humans at the time.

The lake is host to Samosir island, a giant peninsula, the size of Singapore. Most people use the Tuk Tuk village as base to visit the nearby attractions and is considered the most touristic village of the island. The village has several shops, guest houses, hotels and restaurants.

The most popular and most famous places to visit around Lake Toba are the ruins in the ancient Batak village, along with the stone chairs and the head-chopping

block in nearby Ambarita. The stone chairs were used for important meetings of the local king and the chopping block was used for brutal executions of thieves and missionaries. A local guide can be hired to offer insight into the cannibal rituals and the Batak culture (approx. 1,50 USD).

Southeast of Tuk Tuk in Tomok lies the tomb of king Sidabutar where several stone remnants and ancient tombs can be visited. Although being a touristic place, the site remains one of the most interesting places to visit (entrance fee, 0,50 USD). In Simanindo village, an ancient king’s traditional house was restored and converted into the Batak

Museum. The museum is relatively small but offers a great opportunity to discover the traditional culture (entrance fee, 3,00 USD).

At about an hours’ drive from Tuk Tuk lies Pangururan hot springs, a place where tourists can see the natural hot spring and enjoy the pools to bath and relax. For the adventurers, there is a non-familiar place to visit, one of the world’s few ‘’lakes within a lake’’. In the inland of the island, west of Tuk Tuk, a narrow road leads up to a small path where you can find Lake Sidihoni. Due to its difficulty to reach the lake remains rustic and an interesting sight.

Around the island visitors can still see the traditional life of the locals. There are several weavers and dance shows in the towns. The lake offers great possibility for swimming, fishing and relaxation. Lake Toba remains one of Indonesia’s true gems, and a must see on your journey through Indonesia.

Sate ayam or chicken satay that is very famous is originally come from Madura, East Java. You can find this satay almost everywhere from small stall next to the street up to five star restaurants. It is cubes of chicken, skewered, marinated in soya and peanut sauce then grilled. It is best served with lontong (soft rice cake steamed in banana leaf).

Sate Ayam Madura

Sate Padang

Authentic Balinese dishes is sate lilit. It can be made from chicken, pork, or the most special is made from seafood. This is probably the most delicious satay you’ll ever encounter. This satay is made from minced beef, chicken, pork, or even fish which is then mixed with grated coconut, thick coconut milk, lemon juice, shallots, and pepper and it was cooked over a fire of coconut husks rather than charcoal.

Sate Lilit

Mesmerizing Indonesian Archipelago

Indonesia is a huge archipelago consisting of thousands of islands that stretch from the westernmost point of Sabang to the easternmost point

of Merauke. From Miangas island the northmost to Rote island the southmost, it spread to more than 17.508 islands with over 1 million km2 making Indonesia a massive sand box to explore. This huge archipelago is endowed with a beauty of diverse cultures and nature with distinctive flora and fauna.

There are eight major islands or island groups in this enormous chain. The largest landmasses consist of Sumatra, Java,

Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes) and Irian Jaya (the western half of Papua New Guinea). The smaller islands fall into two main groups: the Molluccas to the northeast, and the lesser Sunda chain east of Bali. Bali is a unique island, which for a number of reasons can be put into a class of its own.

The favourable condition have attracted a great number of visitors to Indonesia. Visiting Indonesia means seeing and experienceing the unique diverse cultural and astonishing natural beauties that this country has to offer and explore.
