Borneo's Upside down house

Wednesday, May 09, 2012

A few months back, Sabah unveiled its latest tourist attraction. Rumah Terbalik (Translated as Upside down house) is located along the Tuaran - Tamparuli road. (Click to go to the official site).

A few months back, me and a few buddies did an impromptu trip to see this upside-down house. The journey from Kota Kinabalu didn't take very long. We arrived there at about noon, and the crowd was still manageable. We quickly proceeded to purchase our tickets and waited for out turn to get into the house. The ticket were priced at RM10 per person. While waiting for our turn, we decided to monkey around and take some photos beside a car that was also turned upside down in a garage.

Finally, it was our turn to enter the house. Quite disappointing that we were not allowed to take any photos inside the house. Strictly no photography allowed inside the house. The whole tour of the house took about 15 minutes. Internally, all the furniture were placed upside down as well. It was quite a sight. The beds, washing machine and lighting were all upside down.

Upon exiting the house, we went over to the souvenir shop. There was quite a number of items on sell, mostly related to the upside down house. They also had a cafeteria, which was a welcomed sight as the day was very hot and dry.

Personally, I feel that we should have been allowed to take photos inside the house. This would made the attraction more interesting. Well, I guess the owner must have his reasons for not allowing any photography within the building.
