Condé Nast Traveller – The Best Countries in the World

In front of the magnificent Tugu Hotel Malang, and the City Hall, stands the majestic Tugu Monument, landmark of Malang, and symbol of independent Indonesia, in a big colourful garden with a fountain and a pool. Old trembesi trees abound.

The Dutch built the city of Malang and the garden was the former garden of the notorious Governor of East Indies, Jan Pietersen Zoen Coen. It covers 11.923 square metres.

The Mayor planned to build an Independence Monument and construction began on Independence Day, 17 August 1946. The monument was signed by President Sukarno and AG Suroto, head of the Committee of Monument Construction. When it was 95% complete, the Dutch destroyed it on 23 December 1948. They were not willing to give up their colony.

On 9 July 1950 a new committee was formed to rebuild the monument and it was finished on 20 May 1953 and opened by President Sukarno, Indonesia’s first President. It is known as Alun Alun Bunder (Bunder = round shape) or Alun Alun Tugu or Taman Tugu.

Monument Tugu is shaped like a sharpened bamboo, the weapon used by Indonesian freedom fighters against the Dutch to gain independence. The chain stands for unity in Indonesia’s fight for freedom. The sets of stairs have 4 and 5 corners  – 45, the year Indonesia gained Independence, 1945.

The monument is in the middle of a lotus fish pond – white and red symbolise the courage and purity of the heroes. There is an  Indonesian map and the face of Bung Karno and Bung Hatta reading the Independence proclamation text.

Where am I?

Bali

 Map of Bali made in 1760 by the celebrated French cartographer Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772).

Bali is a small island, more or less in the middle of the Republic of Indonesia, which currently is divided into 32 provinces. Bali constitutes a province, the smallest in terms of area and highly populated. There are about three million people. For rural Balinese life expectancy is 64.6 years and 61.1 years for people living in urban areas.

To be precise, the census held in June 2000 indicated a population of 3,124,674 people, a population growth of 1.22 per cent. between 1990 and 2000 and a population density of 555 people per square kilometre.

According to Raffles in his History of Java:

“The natives of Bali, although of the same original stock with the Javans, exhibit several striking differences, not only in their manners and the degree of civilization they have attained, but in their features and bodily appearance. They are above the middle size of the Asiatics, and exceed both in stature and muscular power, either the Javan or the Malayu.”

Bali measures about 150 kilometers (90 miles) east to west and about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north to south. The area is a little over 5,000 square kilometers (2,100 square miles) or 0.29 per cent. of the total area of Indonesia. It lies about 8 or 9 degrees south of the equator and between 114.6 and 115.5 east longitude. Bali has about 1,500 traditional villages.

The famous Wallace line, which divides the lush vegetation of sub-tropical Asia from the arid landscape of Australia, runs along the narrow strait that separates Bali from Lombok, which is its nearest neighbouring island to the east. Java is to the west.

Bali is about 95 per cent. Hindu or rather Bali-Hindu.

Indonesia

And, of course, you are also in Indonesia, which is the fourth most populous country in the world, currently about 203 million inhabitants, only overtaken by the Peoples’ Republic of China, India and the United States. (The Roman Empire had a population of 100 million.) It is also the biggest Muslim nation in the world: about 90 per cent. of all Indonesians are Muslim. There are 250 ethnic groups. The country is a diverse entity – the Indonesian motto is “Unity in Diversity”, a statement of fact and hope.

A British scholar coined the word “Indonesia” in 1850 from the Greek words “indos” meaning “Indian” and “nesoi” meaning “islands”.

Indonesia is a very long chain of islands, over 13,677. More details are in Secrets of Bali.

Dutch colonialism effectively defined Indonesia’s modern borders. The 1945 Constitution states that the Republic of Indonesia encompasses “the areas that were formerly the Netherlands East Indies.”

The capital, Jakarta, called Batavia under the Dutch, is the most crowded place in Indonesia. There are almost 8.4 million people with an astonishing density rate of 946 people per square kilometre. It is in West Java, Bali’s westerly neighbouring island. Java is the most densely populated island in the world and possesses over half of Indonesia’s population (about 120 million). It is about 1,000 kilometers (600+ miles) away from Bali.

The Balinese Barong Safety Matches.

The census held in June 2000 indicated a population for the whole country of 203,456,005 people, a population growth of 1.35 per cent. between 1990 and 2000 and an average population density of 106 people per square kilometre. Life expectancy is 63 years.

Indonesia is one of the world’s primary oil-producing countries and is the most dominant country in ASEAN, the Association of South East Asian Nations.  Details  about ASEAN are in Secrets of Bali.

Balinese weather

Every year several hundred inches of rain fall on most of Bali. This has resulted in the growth of dense tropical forests, which would have covered the island until about 1,000 years ago when the irrigation system was instituted. Today there are forests only at high elevations and in the west of the island.

The western forest, which is now a national park, was home for tigers until Europeans hunted them to extinction at the beginning of the 20th century. There are still a few rare species of birds found only in these parts, such as the Rothschild mynah.

Temperature

Bali has a uniform temperature throughout the year. The average annual temperature is 27 C or 81 F.

There are three reasons for this as set out in Secrets of Bali.

Seasons

There are only two seasons: the wet season and the dry season. In December, January and February the average rainfall in Denpasar is about 12 inches (300 mm) per month and the rest of the year 4 inches (100 mm) per month. The figures change depending on altitude.

The principal reason for the two seasons is wind direction as described in Secrets of Bali.

El Niño

El Niño, which means “boy child” in Spanish, is a Pacific Ocean climate pattern that has been evident for thousands of years. It is an abnormal warming of the waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean described in Secrets of Bali.

Bali – Indonesia

Ubud is the cultural and artistic center of Bali and many of the finest works of craftsmanship turn up at Murni’s Warung Shop, right beside and part of her restaurant, Murni’s Warung, and Murni’s Houses Shop, in her boutique hotel, Murni’s Houses & Spa.

Murni was one of the first to have a proper gallery of Asian antiques and tribal art in Ubud, Bali. She started her shop at the same time as her famous restaurant in 1974.

Murni travels extensively in Asia, searching out rare and unusual pieces. Her sources are the best and many of her pieces are museum quality.

But whether they are commissioned pieces or objects from Murni’s private collection, you’ll marvel at the variety you’ll find in her shop.

Murni spends most of her time in her restaurant and Murni’s Warung Shop, where the best pieces are.

As you can see, there are really too many things to describe, especially as they constantly change.

There are antiques, collectibles, small baubles perfect for gifts, and treasures too large to take home in your suitcase — which is why we offer shipping to anywhere in the world.

There’s little you can imagine that you won’t find in Murni’s Warung Shop.

Murni’s On Line Shop

You can order on line and collect the goods in Murni’s Warung Shop or Murni’s Houses Shop.

We can deliver them in Bali or ship anywhere in the World.

We will check the shipping options on receiving your order.

We cannot guarantee that items will be delivered at a particular time, as it’s outside our control. 

Please remember that each computer monitor is calibrated differently, so colours may be slightly different in person.
