Upside Down House

Have you heard or seen an Upside down house?
Are you kidding? Upside down house?
Where? why Upside down?
So how do the people inside the house? Everything upside?
Hehehehe... this is the 1st impression when you heard about the upside down house, right?

Oh well, located at Telibong Tamparuli, about 45 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu  I think it's the 1st house built in Sabah.  .Mind you, the fact that everything inside the house is also upside down, makes this unusual house even more special.  Anyway, other countries like Poland, Germany, Tennesse, Florida and others,  also have built upside down houses. So actually, not the 1st Upside down house built in the world.

People who have the idea of building upside down houses are very creative.  Or are they having so much stressed that they decided to built upside down building. I have read some articles, if you stay longer inside the house, you will feel dizziness. Even the workers who doing the construction, get sick cos of dizziness.

Did I feel when I visited the house in Tamparuli? Yes, just a little. Cos I did not stay longer inside the house,  we were not allowed to stay longer cos to make way for other people to enter. They only allow 5 -7 people per entry, afraid  the structure of the house will not hold.

To visit this house, one have to pay entrance fee of RM10/Adult, free for school student, also Travel Agent. The bad news is, we are not allow to take pictures inside.

Nevermind, we help them to advertised free of charge here and in FB then hahahaha.

My trip to Germany on HOLD!

Huhuhu...my trip to Germany have to put on hold for a while...sob! sob! sob! I feel so dissappointed of course but what can I say. The airfare is too expensive nowadays eventhough MAS have cut the fuel charges but still they up other charges. And with the economy problem, as we are affected too, with cut on our salary, so its not so wisely to use the money for traveling. Better save it for emergency, who knows the economy problem might go on until end of 2010! Wah! die la like this....

Also, if I go there at this time, and if our travel website is not working well, I mean if not many tourists book from us, then its also a problem for me to be there. I ended up no jobs and no income. But I believe, things will change to a better, soon. When? well don't know...we wait what Obama can do :=). Maybe if he can change the economy to a better one, sooner the better, then it will be good huh?...

I love to go back there not only to visit for a few months but hopefully to stay longer. I like the place very much.... communication with the people there is a problem though, cos not all of them speak english. But with the help of Lutz and his parents ( I think if they speak to me in their language everyday), I see its no problem to master them easily... cos I do like to learn their language . Their language are beautiful...its sound so nice to my ear...huhu I managed to pick up a few words while I was there in 2006/2007, and actually its not that hard to learn ( I think). As long one have the interests to learn of any language, then it will be easy....

I love the houses - some are unique..and the scenery are beautiful too...I think I can just walk around with my camera and take thousand of pictures...that would be my job also when I am there. Since I love photography ( but too bad I don't have a good cam at the moment) , so taking pictures there is a good one. They have beautiful architecture buildings, the beaches, the birds etc....

Well Lutz, I am sorry I can't fly as planned....or can you wait?....eventhough I am getting younger each day ( hehehe getting old la) and hopefully you stay healthy too...or maybe you come to Sabah instead...... Well, we will see what the future hold for us...with God blessing we will meet again.....
Take care!

When I am there again......I like to

go sightseeing the countryside on this train...

or spending my summer holiday here....

and have my lunch at this restaurant again.....

or when you go to work, I go for city tour....

and walk around this little town....

see what they sales.......
or go cruising on this ferry....
or have coffee with friends.....
and breakfast in your lovely kitchen......
Cheers!
