Trip to Medan - searching for my dream BH!







Yesterday I visited a small town, Pantai Cermin, which is located near to the sea and about one and a half hour's journey from Medan.


Words could not describe how excited was I the moment the unique
standalone BHs in Kota Pari met my eyes....

While enjoying the breathtaking "kampung" scenery cruising about in the "mobil", my heart is going after the bird-luring sound sent out from the BHs which could be heard clearly about 1 km away.... These BHs are very eye-catching, not in terms of their size, but their design and facade.















Most of the standalone BHs in Pantai Cermin share the followings in common:

1) The entrance holes are 100% dog kennel type. (According to the local ranchers, the OR type also can be found in town BHs in Perbaungan & Simpang Tiga)

2) The entrance holes are not very big, ranging from 2 ft x 1.5 ft to maximum 3 ft x 3 ft.

3) Entrance holes were provided at every directions but all sealed once the best hole is chosen.

4) Have a water pond on the roof top.

5) The ventilation holes were provided only at high level from floor.

6) The buildings were mostly painted in white colour.
