Cheap Travel - Sabah: Rumah Terbalik

If you happen to go to Kota Kinabalu, there is a new attraction located only 30 minutes away from KK town which is called 'Rumah Terbalik'.

As the name implies, the house is really built upside down!!!

 From the main road, you can really see the red single storey upside down house and 1 upside down red  Kancil  (a car) park outside the house compound.

The admission fee:

RM 18 for adults

RM 10 for adults with MyKad

RM5 for kids below 12 years old

By paying you can go inside the compound to get close up pictures (not much different actually if just takke pictures from outside). After that, you will be guide by the staff to go inside the house.

Inside the house, every single thing that you expect to be in a house like TV, sofa, bed, comic, cosmetic are arrange upside down.  However you are not allowed to move freely, instead you need to stay within the red carpet provided. Strictly NO PICTURES inside the house, failure to do so you will be fined RM100.

There are also a cafe and merchandise area outside the house.

Overall, I think "Rumah Terbalik" is a little bit overcharged. I certainly expect something more from the visit. By the way, without paying the admission fee, you still can go very close to the red Kancil to snap pictures.

Cheap Travel - Sabah: Kudat

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, Kudat is where the most north tip of Borneo Island. Stretching out to the vast ocean and overlooking the "junction" where the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea meet, this God-sent lookout point was used to guard against pirates. While visitors can come here any time of the day to revel in its beauty, the Tip of Borneo really comes into its element during sunset. Just lay back and take in breathtaking atmosphere, as wondrous colors of red, orange and gold envelope the sky.
