🪼 Blue bottle jellyfish wash ashore at Segara Ayu Beach, Sanur
📰 Poisonous blue bottle jellyfish – known locally as "lateng layar" – have been washing up on Segara Ayu Beach in Sanur.
❗️Lifeguards are urging beachgoers to stay out of the water, wear footwear on the sand, and avoid touching the jellyfish with bare hands — even ones stranded on the beach can still sting. The sting is extremely painful, and people with allergies may experience a severe reaction.
Stay safe and keep an eye out on the beach🌊

💰 Indonesia has passed a law establishing an international financial center, offering companies a corporate tax holiday of up to 50 years
📍 The center will launch in Jakarta, based in the Danareksa Tower, before relocating to Bali in roughly three years. The island location is still being finalized between three candidates, including Kura Kura Bali on Serangan and Sanur.
P.S. Not every company will qualify for the full-length tax break.

🧲 Klungkung Regency expects to collect 132 billion IDR over the year, with the money going toward site upkeep and road maintenance.

🎉 Bali turns 68 today
🎂 On August 14, 1958, Bali officially became a separate province of Indonesia. Today, the island celebrates its 68th anniversary.
📰 To mark the occasion, local authorities held the Ngaturang Pekeling ceremony at the island's main temple complex, Pura Agung Besakih. Prayers were offered for Bali's safety, prosperity, and continued growth in the years ahead.
🧘♂️ Governor Wayan Koster emphasized that Bali must keep moving forward without losing the balance between sekala and niskala — the material and spiritual worlds. New roads, buildings, and economic growth matter, he said, but so do nature, culture, tradition, and the island's identity.
🙏 Happy Birthday, Bali!

🔥 Chez Gado Gado restaurant burns down in Seminyak
📰 Popular Seminyak restaurant Chez Gado Gado was almost completely destroyed by fire on Sunday evening, August 30. Police say a candle flame ignited balloons decorating a covered terrace during a birthday celebration. Guests heard a pop, and flames shot up into the alang-alang (dry grass) thatched roof.
🚒 This is the second fire tied to thatched roofing in the Seminyak/Canggu area this month, after 10 beach bars burned at Perancak Beach in Canggu.

Police say a candle flame ignited balloons decorating a covered terrace during a birthday celebration. Guests heard a pop, and flames shot up into the alang-alang (dry grass) thatched roof.
• A security guard tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher but couldn't stop it in time – the dry roofing caught instantly and fire spread across most of the ~45x40m building.
• Firefighters arrived 10 minutes after the call; 10 trucks from 5 posts used about 115,000 liters of water to bring the blaze under control in 2 hours 40 minutes. No one was injured.
• Damage is estimated at ~4 billion rupiah (~$225,000). Police are investigating the cause. Note: balloons are supposed to be filled with helium (non-flammable), but hydrogen — which is flammable — is often used instead in Indonesia since it's cheaper.

Quiet devotion on Saturday, adrenaline on Sunday.
🔗 Sat, Sept 5 – Tumpek Kandang
A quietly beautiful ceremony that plays out across every village and family compound on the island. Balinese Hindus bathe their livestock, dress them with offerings, and give thanks to the animals that sustain daily life. No stage, no tickets – just an authentic slice of local spiritual life if you happen to be nearby.
🔗 Sun, Sept 6 – Makepung Bull Race
Head to West Bali's Jembrana circuits (7:30am–6pm) for the buffalo races. Decorated buffalo pairs sprint down the track pulling wooden chariots, jockeys balanced behind them – loud, colorful, and completely local.
