What can I say? If you wanted to sleep outside, the colour would probably keep you awake. The villagers do like their colour!

Extraordinary choice of colors that one. I think I've never seen a house painted in such vibrant colors.

I like the color too. If I slept outside, I suspect other things might keep me awake.
All I can say is 'Wow!'
true, that villagers like extraordinary colours,but with such strong sun,after next summer colour will totally change.
Gorgeous!
oh i love these colors. Just SO egyptian.
Where's the orange house? Just kidding, it looks brilliant! Cheers :o)
Wow, and the green go faster stripes - want one! Is the architecture typical?
wow, inspireing!!
Very typical. The villagers often build a ground floor for the main family (mom, dad and kids) and then add on floors for the sons when they marry and bring home wives.
I once had a neighbor who painted their house almost that same color, but I live in California. Needless to say the neighborhood was not so thrilled with their vibrant expression.
