The Upside-Down House of Borneo

The Upside-Down House Of Borneo

So, maybe you have been there but here I am, making a little talk about The Upside-Down House of Borneo. 

What's make it so special that many people wanted to go there? It is upside-down and it is the first in Borneo! 

Yeah, for now, the rate are still in promotion rate where the house is actually not inaugurated yet. Anyway, if you got a student card, you can get more discount! (Which I don't know how much..sorry for that.) Here I give a brief about the upside-down house :

Location: Kg. Telibong, Tamparuli. Not far away from SMK Tamparuli
Officially opened: 1st February 2012
Visiting hours: 8.00am - 8.00pm daily

Entrance fees: 

Adults - RM10 (MyKad holders), RM18 (non-MyKad holders)

Children - RM5

Babies - FOC (2 yrs old/ below)

It is a small house - 140sq. metre - equipped with kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, bedrooms with its interior decorated with many unique features of Sabah. Except for a bubu (a traditional fishing trap) everything is placed upside down. 

After registration, we are given a ticket and have to queue up before entering the house. Only one group of ten is allowed to enter at a time.

 The ticket.

 That's my dad waiting in line.

A tour guide will take us into the house but before that,

one must hit the traditional gong.

< that's my dad pose beside the traditional gong. He actually hit it before posing.

The traditional gong is a Sabah traditional musical instrument which we always see played in a wedding ceremony of Kadazandusun culture.

Soon after the gong was hit, the tour guide will then give a brief about the house front view - a beautiful view of the Mount Kinabalu (Sorry because I did not snap a picture of that..huhu)

We continue our journey.

However, we are all mentioned by the tour guide that we can't take picture in the house. When asked why, she said (Yes, the tour guide is a girl), "We don't want to lose the excitement of the upside-down house interior through the internet or any media, that's why." then she added, "If one is caught taking picture or motion picture, the management is authorized to take down any photo or video".

That's me before entering the house. >

We are told to knock on the door before entering, like we always do before entering someone's house...

not to mention that we usually use SMS to enter our friend's house, if you know what I mean. LOL

Well, another person knock the door for our group. 

And the journey continue as we get inside. The tour guide give us lecture about what's what in the house - which I will never told you here LOL -. It was fun though.

There are cafe and souvenir shop at the 'backyard'. I didn't take pictures of it, it is a surprise for those who haven't visit here yet. =).

Well well..looks who's upside-down here..

This is the 'Upside-down House Owner Perodua Kancil' parked beside the house (a few feet from the house, to be a bit accurate..hehe).

So, that's it..I hope you enjoyed reading and get information you wanted. =)
