Dear All,
As I look out over the traffic of Jakarta,I must say Bali ain’t bad.
Sure we have pollution,rampant development,migration and the ubiqitous corruption,but compared to what the Big Durian offers ,makes us appreciate our little island of the gods.

In Jakarta the Bali Rugby Club take part inthe Jakarta 10’s.
This weeks video 3 Bali Rugby players selected tn the national team at the training camp.
Whilst on the topic of rugby,to prove that rugby is not just brawn,three ex-Bali rugby players represent Australia at Sudoku in India.
In football the Bali Bulldogs get their first win of the season.
And Bali’s finest Oka Sulaksana gets his olympic preparations under way.
Have a great sporting weekend,
The Editor

FC Mucky Duck 2 – 0 Bali Bulldogs // Wed, 30 Apr 08
The Bali Bulldogs worst run of results continued last week, albeit unfortunately, after a spirited display against FC Mucky Duck in the centre of Ubud on a pitch that in areas that was more similar to concrete than a playing surface.
The Bali Bulldogs laid siege to the opponent’s goal throughout the course of the game but could not find themselves the elusive goal, with some not so clinical finishing, that would have brought them back into the match after Mucky Duck taking the lead in the early moments of the match.

As www.whatsnewjakarta.com reports
” Hello again fellow Jakartan’s!!
We hope you all are having a good week! The big news this week was the Olympic torch visiting Indonesia! Didn’t see it?! Well I guess that is because you weren’t one of the privileged few that were invited to the relay event at the Bung Karno Sports Centre. And we guess that aside from the 5,000 celebrities and politicians that witnessed the event, that some of the 2,500 police guarding the event may have got a peek at the torch as well! “
