GET TO COOK<br />
True Balinese food is hard to come<br />
by, but at Bumbu Bali you can fi nd<br />
authentic Balinese cuisine in a<br />
traditional crafted village setting —<br />
the Rijsttafel is extremely popular.<br />
Those wishing to have a better<br />
understanding of this delicious<br />
fare can join the cooking school,<br />
where the day begins with a trip to<br />
the local village market to gather<br />
ingredients to prepare a minimum<br />
of 20 recipes — be ready to be<br />
transformed into the next Balinese<br />
master chef. Jln Pratama, Tanjung<br />

GET TO PAMPER<br />
No trip to the island is complete<br />
without a Balinese massage, and at<br />
Jari Menari (which means ‘dancing<br />
fi ngers’) you can have the stress<br />
of the world stroked away. For an<br />
even more original experience, why<br />
not take an introductory massage<br />
class, learning the techniques of<br />
a nine-step, oil-free, back-focused<br />
massage? Jln Pratama 88x, Tanjung<br />
