precisely in the border of Indonesia and Serawak (Malaysia) . In general they rely more on Malaysia to sustain their economics , with selling their product , even into laboring. There is a reason why Suku Dayak Bidayuh choose to rely on Malaysia , it is because the access to Malaysia is much more easier and much more closer than their regency capital. About 90% of them know more about Malaysian product. No wonder if they knowing more about other country than their own. Still another problem due to the hard access into their location is the education, average Dayak Bidayuh people only pass the elementary school program and still got a signi�icant number of illiterate people. Knowing that the government only provide some teacher and building for elementary level. And only people with better economic condition can send their children into next level of education, still they go to Malaysia as the closest . Their activities were almost all done in the traditional way and rely more on agriculture as the main producer.

PAGI BERBAGI

Share of Happiness in A Box of Rice

Have you ever heard about ‘Pagi Berbagi’? For some Netizens, this word should be familiar. This is a social movement in sharing the happiness with the less fortunate ones by giving the boxes of rice for them in the morning.

It starts from awareness that there are many less fortunate people around us to be help. They are homeless people, blue

color workers on the street and at the market, the orphanage children and many more. We should not lay the burden on the government only since there is also our obligation in sharing the happiness with them.

Some youngster, Landhes (Semarang), Edo (Jogja) and Arin (Solo) spark those ideas on the Twitters. Soon

after, fortunately, they have the same intention. They are willing to help and share the happiness with those less fortunate ones. But the question rose, how to make the social movement with the simple things that could be followed and implemented easily by anyone? After some online discussion, then it comes up with the idea of sharing the happiness by sharing the breakfast for them through the boxes of rice.

color workers on the street and at the market, the orphanage children and many more. We should not lay the burden on the government only since there is also our obligation in sharing the happiness with them.

Some youngster, Landhes (Semarang), Edo (Jogja) and Arin (Solo) spark those ideas on the Twitters. Soon

after, fortunately, they have the same intention. They are willing to help and share the happiness with those less fortunate ones. But the question rose, how to make the social movement with the simple things that could be followed and implemented easily by anyone? After some online discussion, then it comes up with the idea of sharing the happiness by sharing the breakfast for them through the boxes of rice.

Why sharing the breakfast? The breakfast is the essential way in giving the energy for human to start the day in the morning. Hopefully by giving the boxes of rice in the morning it will also entice the spirit to face the challenge for the rest of the day.

Why using the Box of rice? For most Indonesian people, eating the rice in the box is the simple things in having the breakfast. You may buy the boxes of rice everywhere with reasonable price. Soon, the idea was accepted.

Then, the �irst actions began in Solo on 4 June 2011 along Slamet Riyadi Street. The responses from the Netizen are splendid. The positive response came from many cities such as Jogjakarta, Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Solo, Palembang, Padang, Pekalongan and Banyuwangi. They youth communities there spontaneously followed the actions in their own cities.

How it works? At �irst, the initiators in each city are posting the idea of action by twitters. Then, if the other followers of this community are agree then they decide the date and the place and start collecting the money for a week to buy the boxes of rice. When the date is come, they come to the meeting point at start sharing the boxes of rice on the street or the place that has been decided.

How to join? It is very easy, especially for you who have been actively involved in Twitters community. You may contact account @PagiBerbagi and donate your money to ‘Pagi Berbagi’ bank account. The collected money will be bought boxes of rice and distributed in every Saturday morning in each city that joins with the movement.

This is a simple thing to do the good deeds. So, the Pagi Berbagi community is really hoped that their movement could be spread out in all around cities in Indonesia. For them, they are believed that happiness itself will come when we are also seeing the happiness on the face of our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

So, let’s join to share the happiness in our neighborhoods!

“Just Live Moderately and In Balance“

Armand Setiawan JOGER

Josep Theodorus Wulianadi JOGER

Having a conversation with the so-called Joger duo is a kind of experience that is �illed with laughter. Their mastery of processing and turning words upside down has been able to create new, funny, but re�lective words. Different from other entrepreneurs who ‘insist’ on making progress and meeting their targets, Joseph Theodorus Wulianadi (the founder of Joger) instead wants to instill the importance of a balanced as well as moderate attitude in life. He also doesn’t pass on any particular recipe to his son, Armand Setiawan, to assume the leadership mantle of JOGER. He only wants things to go just the way they are.

Visiting Bali will be incomplete without bringing JOGER uniquely designed T-shirts as souvenirs for your loved ones. It seems that customers �ind the T-shirts, popular with funny words printed on them, highly interesting. It is no surprise then that every day we will �ind long queues created in front of the cashiers at Joger outlet.

“Hello, I am Armand,” a young man greeted the Zes when we paid a visit to Joger of�ice in Kuta, Bali. Armand Setiawan a.k.a. Joger Junior is the son of Joseph Theodorus Wulianadi, the founder of Joger. “If some people say I am here to help my parents, they must be wrong,” he opened the conversation. “Instead, I am here helped a great deal by my parents. Well, you can say that we are trying to help each other here,” told Armand, who studied retail management in Australia.

Talking about carrying on the torch of leadership from his father, Joger Junior said his father left no special recipe whatsoever. “We are only trying to help each other. At the moment, the leadership is still assumed by my father. You can say about 110% decision is his to make,” he said jokingly.

Still, added Armand, innovation as a response to the ever-changing market conditions was highly important. He illustrated that JOGER now has a product line called Joger Eks, which stands for Joger Eksklusif (Exclusive Joger). “This idea crossed my mind when I found out that many of my friends in Australia, most of them are well-to-do people, knew literally nothing about Joger,” remembered Armand, a graduate of Chinese language studies at Kuang Chou University.

It seemed, he observed, that Joger was only found attractive by middle-class consumers and had not reached out to the minds of high-class ones. “It is why I decided to make Joger Exclusive with better fabric quality and higher prices,” he explained. “Surprisingly, the market shows remarkable response.”

He also made unique breakthroughs by giving free

gimmicks. “I once studied that consumers like something that is given for free,” he told. And since Joger had never made any such gimmick, “I came up with the idea of Joger Sandal which gives one free left-foot sandal for every right-foot sandal purchase,” he said lightheartedly. The unique thing was, the market reacted positively to the gimmick.

Moderate Living Brings Peace

“Good morning, selamat pagi!” greeted a middle-aged man while entering the room where we were talking. He is Joseph Theodorus Wulianadi or Joger Senior. Selamat Pagi is a distinctive greeting that Pak Joger says to every guest of his outlets throughout a day, meaning it is also said even at noon and evening.

When asked about his business recipe, including his way of passing on the originality �lavor of Joger to his son, Joger Senior replied instead by elaborating on his philosophy of life. “The most important thing is we should live moderately and in balance.”

He further explained his concept of three levels of good deeds: minimum-level, optimum-level, and maximum-level good deeds. At the �irst level, we should refrain ourselves from taking away other people’s rights. At the second one, we are expected to help other people when we have already met our own needs. Last but not least, at the third-level deeds we have reached a point where we help other people by sacri�icing our own interests. “I advise you choosing the second-level one. This doesn’t mean that I am against those who want to achieve the third level. It’s just that I think the third level is only meant for prophets,” he opined.

It is the same philosophy of life that forms the core value of Joger in developing its business. Currently, Joger has around 300 permanent ‘family members’ (the term Joger uses to call its employees) and 2,000 outsourced workers involved in the production process. “It is the reason I didn’t agree when the local people prohibited outsiders or migrant people from doing business in Kuta. Just look at me for example. I was born in Denpasar but I’m now doing business in Kuta. If I shut down my business, thousands of Kuta people involved in the production process surely will lose their jobs and livelihoods,” he illustrated.

The consistency of Joger in maintaining the brand of Joger in Bali also serves well to preserve the originality as well as sustain the life of the brand itself. Joger products cannot be purchased outside Bali. It means that persons wearing Joger products must be those who have once taken a vacation to Bali. This is also based on the philosophy of living moderately instead greedily.

Discussing about how they protect their copyrights, the Joger duo simply dismissed it as a problem. “Copyrights exist because they are created instead of merely registered,” explained Joger Junior. “Besides, the ones guilty are those imitating our products, not ourselves. So, why should we worry?” added Joger Senior.

However, recalled Joger Senior, they indeed in 1999 paid a visit to fake outlets that sold their brand in order to educate the copycats. “We only did that out of complaints from the kids here since back then many travel agents instead brought their tourists to the fake outlets.” At the end, the duo still believes that consumers will come to the real Joger outlet to get the original products.

So, Joger turns out to be a genuinely unique business,

thanks to its strong philosophy of life. What a true example of how good morality can generate endless streams of income!

JOGER in a Glimpse

The brand of Joger was of�icially used on January 19, 1981. The name itself is a combination of two names, Joseph and Gerhard Seeger, the latter is the schoolmate of Joger Senior in Germany who gave Joseph the money as a wedding gift. Joger opened its �irst outlet, named Art & Batik Shop Joger, on Jalan Sulawesi 37, Denpasar. In 1983, Joger opened another outlet on the same street before expanding to Kuta by

opening its third and last outlet on Jalan Raya Kuta in 1986.

An Oasis of Quite and Serenity


Blanco Renaisance MuseumWelcome to the Amusing World of Blanco

Entering Museum Blanco, you will �ind an atmosphere that is different from other museums in general. Throw away the impression that a museum must be cold, boring, and not fun. Touring around the museum, you will de�initely be amazed and even laughed out loud at the same time. What is so unique about this museum, you may inquire? Just read on.

Located in the hillside area and right on the side of a bridge, the museum has an entrance gate that at a glance seems invisible. However, once you enter the museum ad go upstairs, you will �ind a palace-like museum called Blanco Museum.

Even the museum’s yard is unique. Unlike the deserted atmosphere commonly found in other museums’ yards, Blanco’s Museum instead is lively with the tweets of Balinese rare birds, such as jalak (starling bird) and kakaktua (cockatoo).

Meaningful Building “Although the museum building seems to be of European-style, it is actually full of the philosophy of Balinese culture,” explained Mario Blanco, the son of Antonio Blanco, who runs the museum at the moment. According to him, every part of the museum, and even the yard, had its respective philosophical signi�icance.

In general, the museum building consists of three parts. This is in line with Bali’s natural philosophy of Tri-Hitakarane, which means God, Earth, and Water. The top structure represents a space for God, the middle one represents a space for Earth, and the fountain in the yard represents water.

On the dome of the building, we can �ind a four ear-shaped statue that represents the ears of Antonio Blanco and his beloved wife. “This means that Papah (Daddy) and Mamah (Mommy) hope they will still be able to hear any criticisms as well as praises addressed to the building even though they have passed away.”

The dome represents tudung saji (cone-shaped cover) that is employed to cover dishes for kings. In Bali, every gift or dish of food presented to kings shall be covered by tudung saji. According to Mario, the museum is the gift from Antonio Blanco as a source of inspiration for Balinese culture. Antonio indeed had every reason to be grateful to Bali as the 2 hectare-area on which the museum is built is also granted to him by the King of Ubud.

At the entrance gate, we can also �ind �ire-shaped relic, which is actually the signature of Antonio Blanco. Meanwhile, at the stairs, we will be welcomed by a couple of dragons tangling the edges of the stairs. “According to some people who have psychic talents, the mystical guardians of the area are reportedly of dragon-shaped. Therefore, the relic is adjusted with the assumption,” inserted Mario.

Artistic Composition Entering the museum building, we will be welcomed into the unique world of Blanco. There is not a single window in the huge room. This is a deliberate attempt to make a clear separation between the real world and the world of Blanco. The paintings are also arranged and exhibited in a highly unique way. “If we pay attention to the composition, to how the paintings are arranged, it is different from the arrangement that you will �ind in other galleries,” claimed Mario. In Museum Blanco, the paintings are displayed slightly above the eye level, creating an impression that it is the paintings that stare at the visitors than the other way around. Moreover, the paintings exhibited above and those exhibited below seem to have a mixed categorization. “This is inspired by the movements of Balinese dances, which is always harmonious despite their up and down movements,” exposed Mario. Surprisingly, Mario’s statement rings true as the exhibited pictures are remarkably harmonious, especially since the frames are in sync with the paintings themselves. As a result, all of the paintings look like 3D paintings that want to tell stories.

Meaningful and Amusing Works “Antonio Blanco’s works are possible to have fun with,” Mario said light-heartedly. “For example, how many bottles can you see in the paintings?” asked Mario while showing a painting titled Eve’s Apple, which depicts a foreign woman lying down without her clothes on. According to a layman’s eyes, there are a total of four bottles, namely three in the frame and one in the picture itself. “You are wrong,” said Mario. “We have not put into account the other two bottles in forms of the breasts of the woman in the picture,” he smilingly explained.

There is also a picture of Michael Jackson titled Black or White. A hat, one of the distinctive features of the pop megastar, is put on its frame. Another uniqueness that Michael Jackson has is the fact that he was a black-colored man who had his skin operated to be white-colored. Also, he was a veggie. “Before we put this hat down, I want to ask you �irst: can you guess the color of Michael’s genital?” To con�irm the answer, he then opened the hat to show an orange-colored small carrot. “This is Papah’s interpretation since he was a veggie himself,” quipped Mario.

Some illustrations above can give us a picture of how Antonio’s works are playful and amusing. “We indeed deliberately come up with the concept, so that the museum can become a recreational place as well instead of a mere place to study,” said the father of Antonio Blanco Junior. It is no wonder that visitors can �ind several rare Balinese birds in the museum’s yard. In this way, the visitors can relax while enjoying the beautiful sights of the rare birds.

So, if you come to Bali, just free up some of your time to visit Museum Blanco in Ubud. There, you will �ind that it is possible to study and have fun at the same time!

Due to increasing demand for healthy live and sustainable environment, the modern farming is now shifting to organic one as part of the green movement. In line with the green movement, the restaurants actually should protect their customers out of the dangers of non-organic food by providing them with non-chemical ingredients. Pulau Kelapa, in Ubud, Bali, is one of the restaurants that offers those healthy food and environmentally sound farming.

A ccording to Wikipedia, Organic farming is the form of agriculture that relies on nature friendly

techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control. Organic farming excludes or strictly limits the use of manufacture (synthetic) fertilizers, pesticides (which include herbicides, insecticides and fungicides).

“For sure, we want to provide our customer with non-chemical ingredient because we do know the long-term effect of the toxics for human body,” said Pak Lambon, the chef at the Restaurant. Therefore, he

According to Lambon there is not easy maintaining the plants in organic way. “We cannot use the pesticide that could harm the environment while there were the insects attacking them,” he explained. “We also used the organic compound as fertilizer so the soil will able to support itself in adsorbing the nutrition from the environment that at the end of the day will be taken by the plant.”

Therefore, no wonder if Pulau Kelapa has strong determination to provide organic food and organic farming with any cost.

Where to Go

Indonesian Slow-Cooked Food

At Pulau Kelapa, the food served is Indonesian food. “By opening this restaurant we would like to introduce the wide range of Indonesian food which stretch out from Aceh, Padang, Jakarta, to Bali, Lombok and Makassar,” he said. Therefore, there is also different thematic food every day. “For instance, today our specialty is Rawon (traditional meat soup from Java) and the next day will be randang (cooked meat from Padang),” he explained. The Indonesian food chosen because it is in line with organic food since most of the menus are slow-cooked food that able to maintain the nutrition on the ingredients used. “So it will be useless if we are using organic food but we prepare them in such ways that destroy the nutrition on the organic ingredient,” he said.

Lambon said the funny things happened when the foreign tourist (bule) try to eat the meal separately as they usually do with European food which consist of at least three course: appetizer, main food and dessert. “Actually, we, as Indonesian, usually mixed them up with steam rice (nasi) as one course food,” he smiled.

Moreover, Pulau Kelapa is not only providing the organic food but also giving the experience for the customer in harvesting their own ingredient and cook them by themselves. With 80 are (Balinese square meter) or around 8000 square meter land, there is quite enough space for cultivating and harvesting the plant in the back yard. There lies paddy (rice) �ield, farmer shelter ( gubug), small river with vegetables and herbs planted on the �ield.

“It reminds us about the life in the village,” Lambong smiley said “We do believe this is one of the ways in giving insight to the customers how important the organic food and organic farming are for them,” Lambong said.

According to him, by showing the way how to harvest the fruits, vegetables and herbs, people will realize how hard to serve the food they had eaten on their table. Not to mention how to cook them in proper way so the nutrition will be remains on the meals prepared.

“We do hope this noble experience will give them insight and faith to put away their junk food and fast food and shift to slow-cooked organic food for their own healthy life,” Lambon expect. Moreover, he said, hopefully it will also entice the customer on the importance of organic farming in preserving the environment for sustainable living in the future.

Words and Photos by Linda

The location is not far from Bandung, it’s about 47 km from the town. If you drive from Jakarta through the Cipularang Highway, take Kopo Soreang exit and take to the right from the junction and follow the sign to the location which is about 30 km.

The area is amazing and beautiful; the air in the surrounding area is still very clean although with the sulphurs smells, the place is nice place to be visited. Imagine the place like that with the fog, its make this place like an angel kingdom, but there is full of mystery behind that.

There is a story that the Patuha Mountain is come from word of Tua (elder person), the mountain is sacred and no one has courage to enter to this area in the past. The mountain is believed as a place of the soul of the elders and ‘God’ kingdom place, whoever comes there, he/she will die or fall to the bottom of the earth. Even the animal or bird doesn’t want to �ly to that area, because of the God power.

The beauty of this area is found in 1837 by the Germany-Dutch botanical expert, Dr. Franz Wilhem Junghuhn (1809-1864), when he started his journey to the South from Bandung to the mountain to search the entire �lora alive in Indonesia, especially near Bandung. He came to the village near the crater area and being told that story by the local about the sacred mountain. But he did not believe at all, He continues his journey, through the forest, and climb the area. In the middle of his way, he was amaze with the surrounding and he saw a huge lake with white greenies water inside the lake. From the lake, he saw small larva spurting and he smelt sulphur. There is a reason why the animal will go there, strong smell come from the sulphurs.

If you decide to take times in the crater area, please buy a mask and protect your nose, as the smell of the sulphurs is really strong and will make you dizzy when you are too long in the area. There is a local vendor sell that items near there.

It is a place that you cannot miss it, the surrounding,

“The sound of Javanese Music was heard from the unique house. Some of the cars parked on the parking lot. Javanese and Kalimantan design pro�iles was seen inside the house. Warung Ageng, the family-run traditional restaurant owned by the wife of Butet Kertaredjasa has a vision to gather the archipelago in one dish”

Warung Bu Ageng, is the way the customers called this traditional restaurant (warung). It belongs to Ibu Ageng, the wife of Butet Kertaradjasa, a famous national artist from Jogjakarta. The name Ageng itself came from the grandson of Butet who usually called this spouse as Bapak (Mister) and Ibu (Mrs) Ageng. The Warung itself was opened on 26 December 2011 and by now it has been visited by many local or foreign customers.

Warung Bu Ageng provides some ‘omahan’ food. Omahan food is the traditional food that usually served at many household in Java. Ibu Ageng cooks the meals herself. Her specialty is Nasi Campur (or mixed rice). Why mixed rice? There is philosophy behind the simple mixed rice.

A plate of Nasi Campur consists of many ingredients such as ikan asin that came from Tarakan, sambal terasi that came from Sidoarjo, and many other herbs and ingredients that came from many other part of Indonesia. So, on the one plate of Nasi Campur there are pieces of Indonesian archipelago. By serving and promoting Indonesian traditional food, Ibu Ageng believes that local culinary could still survive from modernization attack in the future.

Moreover, the architecture of the house will make us feel at home. It �lashing back my memories and �lying me back to time when I was a kid. In that time I was almost all the time ate my breakfast, lunch and dinner at home serving by my lovely mother.

So, for you who would like to feel at home while eating meals with archipelago taste in your plate, a visit to Warung Bu Ageng is a must.

The simple& humble Master of Arts“I paint, because I can not write, I am not very good at talking.

In his youth, Affandi has had a very high level education, such as HIS, MULO. He has graduated from the AMS. Even for people of his generation, only a handful who can attend this high level education. However, Affandi had a strong passion for art. His passion beats all the education and disciplines in his life and hechoose for art instead of other education.

In 1933, when Affandi was 26 years old, he married a girl named Maryati in Bogor. She was also fellow artist. During their marriage, they were blessed with a daughter who is also talented as her father. She inherited her father’s talent as a painter, her name is Kartika Affandi.

Before Affandi started his life as an painter, he has worked as a teacher. He also worked as a clerk in the cinema’s, where he checked the entrance tickets.

Affandi and his artistic career In 1943, Affandi held his �irst solo exhibition in the Poetera Djakarta building; this was during the Japanese occupation. Because Ir. Soekarno, Drs.

At that moment Affandi had the task to create a poster of late President Soekarno. He was illustrated as someone who has been chained, but the chain was broken. Affandi was famous of making this poster. From that moment on he became a famous painter in Indonesia.

During his life, he has produced over 2,000 paintings. His works are exhibited to various places in the world, such as Asia, Europe, United States and United Kingdom.

With his outstanding talent to paint, he creates very interesting images of life. There was this time, that he did not get a scholarship to study painting in Santiniketan, India, an academy founded by Rabindranath Tagore. When he arrived in India, he was rejected on the grounds that he did not need more education. Finally, he took his scholarships that had received and used it for his exhibitions around India.

In the 1950s, Affandi began to create expressionistic paintings. Carrying the First Grandchild (1953) was the piece that marked his newfound style: “Squeezing the tube.” Affandi paints by directly squeezing the paint of its tube. He came across this technique by accident, when he intended to draw a line. As he lost his patience when he was missing one of his pencil, he applied the paint directly from its tube. The resulting effect, as he found out, was that the painting object appeared more alive. From that day on, he used this technique. It expresses what he saw and felt about life.

Affandi blinded himself with theories. In his life, he often says that he is a painter with the intelligent of a buffalo, he choose this character because he was not very bright as a painter. The buffalo is an animal that is considered as ignorant. The attitude of this master of art who is not fond of theory, clearly made him sincere and unique in his profession as a painter.

Although he has had several seasonal exhibitions, he will not overact as a person. For Affandi, painting is work. He paints like a man who is hungry. Although he became a very famous person, he just want to be called a simple painter. Until his death in May 1990, he remains the profession as a painter. He was buried not far from the museum, that he has founded in tepi Kali Gajah Wong Yogyakarta.

Besides of getting more trophies, JFC lastly included into top 7 categories for best carnival in the world along with Mardi Grass – USA, Rio De Jenerio – Brazil, The Fastnach Koln – Jerman, The Winter Carnival Quebeq – Canada, The Aaalborg Carnival – Denmark, Tobago n Trinidad – Caribbean. Within almost decade Fariz’s dream is not stopping until this far. An exuberant JFC 2021 is already in his mind and will be delivered with deep enthusiasm and creativity.

Deil has a long history that goes back as far as the 14th century. In the past there used to be at least seven

castles in the vicinity. Unfortunately all of these castles are gone now. The region where Deil is situated is called “De Betuwe” . This region is also famous for its fruit. There are a lot of farmers who cultivate apples and pears.Two big cities in the neighbourhood are Utrecht and Den Bosch.

Sometimes winters in Holland can be very wet with lots of rain. In the past winters where white with lots of snow. But during the last few years there was no snow. But the winter of 2012 was one like I used to remember from my childhood.

On the 4th of February I looked out of the window of my bedroom and I knew that I had to take my camera and go outside. The complete village was covered with fresh snow and although it was very cold there was a beautiful sun shining.

I took my camera and started my car. The next hour and a half I drove through my village and took these photos. Photography is a hobby of mine and I am not pretending to be a professional. But I think the winter pictures of my village are very nice.

This is one of the beauty from the winter time in Deil City that I can share to everybody , hope it can comple-ment the knowledge when you plan your travel to The Netherlands.

The Betuwe has many orchards and fruit shops, so it is rightfully called Holland’s fruit garden. It is most beautiful during the springtime, when the fruit trees are blossoming. The Betuwe is known for its blossoming fruit trees and during this period the area is covered under a white/pink-blanket.
