Rurung is a local word for an alley. But it is not just an alley / lane for passageway. It’s not just a noun but it also a culture. In the past time where agriculture is the main life of� Bali, rurung is a place for farmer to gather and have a chit chat about what is going on in the community and of course about farming issue as well. As a gathering place, rurung become a center for economic activities in the village. Small warung sells Bali coffee and some of traditional cake make rurung is a perfect place to hang out in the afternoon after work hard in the rice field during the day. Many things could happen from little chit-chat in rurung, even brilliant idea could be sparked from small talk in rurung.
