But these people are real, and there’s more than 50,000 of them in Malaysia, with an estimated 10,000 water houses built on stilts over the water.

So of course, while we rode across the island of Borneo on our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle, we had to check one out, and see how the people there actually live. And it’s like stepping into a video game world that’s straight out of someone’s imagination…
