Look lah, Papa and Mama's house is actually a 2 storey bungalow. The land is not level and the house sits on land that slopes to the rear of the house. If the land was level, then the house is a regular 2 storey house with a upstairs and a main floor, and no one would say there was a basement. But in this case, The lower floor is more above the grade at the rear then it is in the front. This gives the impression that it is underground and hence the Whore says its a basement. Family members also refer to it as the basement. But there are actually many windows on the lower floor and especially in the rear of the lower floor u could not tell that it is below grade, it looks like any regular main floor of a house. For something to be called a basement, I think it has to be dark, wholly or partially below the grade of the land and have very few if any windows. That's my understanding. Ling also agree with me, ok?
