what he wrote about the new

I would just like to present my
opinion of the new so called
tunnel near Kuta.
Actually its only a hole not a
tunnel.I suppose we were all
expecting a real tunnel after
travelling many tunnels throughout the World.
Its really is AMAZING to think
someone could plan and build
this "tunnel" and make the traffic worse than it was before.
What is so AMAZING is that
now all traffic must exit (if coming from Sanur) into the Airport
Road Jalan Ngurah Rai.
So if the traffic is banked up (as
it is most of the time) you cant
even get back to Kuta or Sunset
Road.
Even more AMAZING is that
you have to cross 2 lanes of
traffic to do so.

A married couple is driving along a highway doing a steady forty miles per hour. The wife is behind
the wheel. Her husband suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice. "Darling," he
says. "I know we've been married for twenty years, but I want a divorce." The wife says nothing, keeps looking at the road ahead but
slowly increases her speed to 45 mph. The husband speaks again, "I don't want you to try and talk me out of it, "he says, "because
I've been having an affair with your best friend, and she's a far better lover than you are."
Again the wife stays quiet, but grips the steering wheel more tightly and slowly increases
the speed to 55. He pushes his luck. "I want the house," he says insistently. Up to 60. "I
want the car, too," he continues. 65 mph. "And," he says, "I'll have the bank accounts, all
the credit cards and the boat." The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete
bridge. This makes him a wee bit nervous, so he asks her: "Isn't there anything you
want?" The wife at last replies - in a quiet and controlled voice. "No, I've got everything I
need." she says. "Oh, really?" he inquires, "So what have you got?" Just before they slam
into the wall at 75 mph, the wife turns to him, smiles, and says, "The airbag."

bartender is amazed. "Sure you can and it's on the house! Listen, can you do me a favor? My wife works next door at the cafe. It'll
make her day if you go in and order a cup of coffee. Here's ten bucks and you can keep the change afterwards." "Okay." says the dog
and he takes the ten dollars and leaves. Ten minutes go by and the dog doesn't come back. The owner returns and asks where is the

A Scotsman, an Irishman, and an Englishman are each sentenced to a year in solitary confinement; before being locked away, each is to be granted a year's supply of whatever he
wants to help him get through the long, long spell alone. The Scotsman asks for a year's

asks for a year's supply of cigarettes and he's given a pile of cartons and the cell door is
shut on him. One year later, the doors are all unlocked. The Scotsman staggers out and
shouts, 'I'm free!' and then keels over dead from alcohol poisoning. The Irishman is
dragged out into the light, whereupon he promptly dies of liver failure. When the door to the
Englishman's cell is opened, everybody watches eagerly to see what sort of a wreck the
man has made of himself. To their surprise, he walks right out the door, sidles up to the

Professional taxi service expected for „new‟ Ngurah Rai
Can you imagine that at an international airport, finding a taxi
may depend on the driver‘s
home situation?
As bizarre as this may sound, it
can happen when you are at
Ngurah Rai airport in Bali.
―I am annoyed with my wife this
Page 28
morning. That‘s why I
decided to leave home as
early as possible to drive
airport visitors,‖ Nyoman,
an airport taxi driver, told
a passenger who had just
arrived at the airport at 7
a.m. after an early morning flight leaving Jakarta
at 4:30 am.
Upon arrival, the Indonesian
passenger found that the airport
taxi service booth was unattended, despite the presence of
some men wearing taxi-driver
uniforms outside the booth, all
of whom were eagerly greeting
only foreign visitors.
Despite operating at Ngurah Rai
airport for a long time, the airport taxis–around 236 of them-apparently do not provide a
round-the-clock service for passengers. Some drivers are selfemployed, while others work for
private individuals. These owners are incorporated in the airport taxi cooperative.
From 1 a.m. to 8 a.m., there
may not be a driver on duty at
the airport, so passengers on
late night or early morning
flights may have to use the
rental cars that often charge
ridiculous amounts, such as Rp
400,000 (US$40.20) for a trip to
downtown Denpasar that is only
Rp 90,000 by taxi.
Airport taxi cooperative phone
operator Made Bagi vaguely
said, ‖Our taxis are available
from the first to the last flights of
the day. Well, the booth only
opens at 8 a.m.‖
―I agree that an international
airport taxi service should operate 24 hours. We should work
shifts, the drivers. But we don‘t
have a regulation for that yet.
So far, we only have rules that
regulate our neatness wearing a
uniform,‖ said Nyoman.

this depends on the airport management

significant increase of over 9,000 flights
compared to the 103,771 flights in 2011.
Last year also saw 14.17 million passengers onboard those flights, 1.4 million more
people than the 12.77 million passengers
recorded in 2011.
(Bali Daily - The Jakarta Post)
―We are still in the process of analyzing our
needs for this transportation mode,‖ Efferson Siregar, operational manager at Ngurah Rai International Airport, told Bali Daily
cautiously. ―However, we do hope that before the APEC summit this study will be
completed, and if the study finds it necessary, the new [taxi] fleet will be welcomed,‖
he said.
Currently, only local taxis registered in the
airport taxi cooperative have the right to
transport passengers inside the airport
compound. Other private taxi operators,
such as national brand Blue Bird, can only
take passengers who are willing to walk an
extra 500 meters to the airport compound
entrance gate.
Marketing manager of the Bali-chapter Blue
Bird Group, Nyoman Mertadi, acknowledged that in addition to the group‘s
Golden Bird luxury car rental, which currently is allowed to operate at the airport,

will open fairer competition for taxi operators at the newly refurbished airport.
―Currently we are re-tendering for our existing operational right for Golden Bird car
rental. However, just like other regular taxi
operators outside the airport taxi cooperative, all of us have a similar desire that
healthier competition rather than monopolistic practice will be encouraged for taxi
services in the airport, which is expected to
become a five-star international airport.‖

Not Going with the Flow
Angry Bali Villagers Close Ayung River to White Water Rafting Operators
Angry villagers living along the

Central Bali brought river rafting
operations to a complete halt on
Sunday, June 23, 2013, when
they cut trees, felling them

river in protest at the failure of river rafting companies to pay an agreed Rp.
500,000 (US$50) per
month to each of the 11
communities (banjars) for the
past ten months.
Villagers complain that the hundred of tourist visitors traveling
the river on rafts prevent traditional economic pursuits such
as fishing or the breeding of live
fish. For this reason, the rafting
companies agreed to provide
each Banjar a cash compensation of Rp. 500,000 each month.
But, for the past 10 months, the
rafting companies argue they
are no longer able to make
these payments.
Police and military personnel
were deployed along the river

New frog species found in Bali
Jakarta Post) Scientists from
Indonesia and Japan have discovered a new species of mini
frog in Bali and have named it
Microhylaorientalis.
Amir Hamidy,a researcher from
the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI), and scientists Masafumi Matsui, Amir Hamidi and
Koshiro Eto from the Graduate
School of Human and Environ-
mental Studies at Kyoto University in Japan, published their
joint scientific finding in the Zootaxa Journal issued on June
14.
The newly found frog species
measures around 18.3 mm long
in females and 17.4 mm in
males, as reported by Antara
news agency. The brown mini
frog is distinctive due to its tiny
body and unusual toe configura-
tion, where the middle toe is
much longer than those to the
side. It has only been found in
two areas in Bali — WongayaGede and Batukaru, at a
height of 435 to 815 meters
above sea level.
The scientists found the frog in
ricefields in these two sites.
According to the scientists, Bali
is now the eastern-most place
for the Microhyla species to be
found. ―Bali will become a key
area to learn more about the
evolution of the microhylid genus.‖
