Sarawakians Don't Live In Trees

Contrary to what some people may say, Sarawakians don't live in trees, they live in houses like everyone else. Sometimes better than an average house. I found these houses amusing the last time I was in Sibu and thought you might too.
Its very popular to have your house in loud colours like this one here which looks like an orange and lemon mix together. Very zesty indeed! I also notice they like stainless steel front gate and fence which never caught up elsewhere outside Sibu. Maybe I'm wrong but I've yet to find these elsewhere.
This is not a semi-detached house, it is more like a palace! Again the stainless steel gate and fence with grand and regal lamp posts on either sides of the gate. Notice the Mickey mouse and Donald Duck rides just outside the palace.

I was drooling when I saw this one, it looks like someone's birthday cake with yellow and pink icing decorations! All it needs are some candles on the roof!

So you can see Sarawakians don't live in trees, they live in palaces and cakes!

Some of these houses are really ugly. I rather live on tree than in a crazy house like that.
