  Ooooh look what we have! Fresh from Banyuwangi, unpasteurised goat's milk. The farmers are super careful to be super clean and sterilise all containers. The milk is frozen immediately after milking. The Indonesian department of health check on the bacteria level revealed that is some 89% below the acceptable level for pasteurised milk. And it doesn't have that strong goaty smell either! Rp 20,000 a half liter bottle, or you can have it in your cappucino (delicious) at the café!

  For Friday's Mt Agung fundraiser I'll be screening the program called Dance Center Stage. It looks at two classic styles, ballet with the Kirov Ballet, St Petersburg and Kabuki, at the Kabuki-Za, Tokyo. The performances are amazing especially Tomasaburo at the height of his powers. I think you'd enjoy it and I hope to see you there, Rhoda

  Look who popped into the gallery today! The legendary Hans Hoefer and his wife Cynthia reminiscing about the old days in the late 60s and early 70s when Hans was here painting, photographing, and then putting together the famous APA guides, later to become Insight Guides.

  It's raining outside in Ubud, that drizzly thing it does. A simple breakfast at Rio Helmi Gallery & Cafe. Poached eggs on sourdough toast, with a cup of steaming masala chai. Perfect remedy.
