Editorial
Well, we just had the world’s number
one DJ visiting our shores. That was Thursday night so too
late for us to print this week. You’ll be able to read
about that in edition 154.
It makes you wonder what is
going on when you see thugs setting the agenda. No matter
what you think about Racy Magazines, Sharia Law, Porno Bills
or Freedom of Expression, violence should never be the means
to achieve any change in law in any democracy. While protests
and demonstrations in Jakarta against terrorism or blowing
up innocent people are non-existent and the blame for everything
at the moment seems to be placed on immorality you are only
left to think the people must be in favour of thuggery and
opposed to the rule of law. Burying your head in the sand
is not a solution. At this timely moment, the Global Healing
2 conference in Ubud will be taking place from May 3 - 8.
Dignitaries and speakers from all over the world will be here
to discuss ways to make this world a better and safer place
to live. We wish them well. Check some of the entries to our
Recipe for Peace competition from last week. (Page 30)
Meanwhile, we checked out some
of the best barmen around town doing there flairing thing
and that can be found inside in all its glory. Check if you
can spot your favorite barmen amongst them. (Page 36)
The Beat Comp this week deals
with the Global community. Bali must be one of the most cosmopolitan
places in the world, all living in harmony, and continues
being a jetsetters paradise. You’ve seen them around
but can tell you us where they’re from. Have a guess
and you will be in the running for a two night stay in a one
bed unit at one of Bali’s famed luxury villas. B Villas
in Oberoi have been so kind to give us the prize for this
competition. (Page 62)
Surfing is a way of life for
many people on this island. Gino has a chat with a couple
of visiting Pros who were in Bali to shoot some footage for
a video featuring a new surf spot on the island. We found
out everything except, of course, where that new spot is.
(Page 80)
The Easter weekend was
a rammer jammer, busy in all the hot spots and it’s
just the beginning – summer is on the way! Ed.

them a solid position on the radio charts. But
seeing them kick out the jams live is most definitely
worth the ticket. From 11pm |

party in which they performed with Prodigy-like
fervor and sound. With free admission for the

the action? From 11pm |
