Read our editorial "Terrorists Score No Goals in Indonesia" and see how soccer enthusiasts in Indonesia won’t let evil men have the last word. There’s also another editorial questioning the wisdom of recent statements on terrorism by the head of the Bali Tour Guide Association.
Bali immigration offers get off lightly with administrative sanctions for misappropriating nearly US$300,0000 is VOA funds; there’s a rat plague threatening Bali’s agricultural crops; a new Chief of Police has been named for the island; efforts are underway to increase tourism ties between Bali and Dili (East Timor); funding is being provided for free medical care for all Balinese by 2010; and there's news of the continuing saga of two new "Best Western" properties said to be breaking local zoning laws.
Calendars ready? Attend a one-woman play in Ubud on August 15th and an exhibition of "bejeweled" batiks at the Maya Ubud Resort August 17-September 15, 2009. The Nikko Bali Resort also has a month-long calendar of remarkable Balinese cultural performance this August, many fresh off the stage of the Bali Arts Festival.
If you're looking for me, ask for Jack Daniels on the rocks. The new "Rock Bar" at The Ayana Resort has to be seen to be believed. It is so beautiful, in fact, that it may drive you to drink!
Last Friday, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali held its annual "thank you" party for the travel industry. Read about one of the best parties of the year and see our pictures from that evening.
Need Pampering? Visit the new Tea Tree Spa at the Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali.
