GIDDY UP!
Om Swastiastu...

Time ies fast when youre having fun! Like the blink of an eye, weve quickly reached
mid-year already, the best season for an ultimate summer break on this paradise island.
No, its not just because the cool breeze is blowing across Bali (thanks to winter in
Australia) while the sun is still shining brightly, but also because August will liven up this
island with the hottest parties of the year.

philosophy and the art of eating is a
palpable passion embraced by all.
Having access to extensive organic

lucky chef! Fresh, home-grown
organic vegetables, aromatic herbs
and basmati rice are right on his
doorstep an advantage he takes
fully, transforming natures bounty

It is easy to be charmed by

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.
