Baba House: Customization is the Favorite of the Rich

Of course you have to visit the Baba houses when you go to Nanyang to see the mansions of the old money in Nanyang. There are colorful hand-painted lanterns hanging at the door, and each one is saying "I am custom-made and expensive handmade." The furniture all looks bling bling, either painted with gold lacquer or gold foil or inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Tableware and Nyonya bricks are also custom-made, different for each family. Anything that can be carved must be carved to the utmost, and anything that can be customized must be customized to show its specialness and financial strength. To sum it up in one sentence, don't be tired of it and don't spare any cost. It seems that the inhumanity is the same from ancient times to the present.
