Today we will explore the fun lessons in Russian home security systems :)

I feel incredibly safe in and around our apartment. This is strange because in the words of Marie, it looks like a chalk outline of a body should be there in the front. HOWEVER, our apartment is very nice on the inside, and has a beautiful garden area right across the way.

This is the outside - and first door- you need to go through before entering the apartment building. It is solid steel and ahas a security code panel to the left.

Then, after you take the elevator to the fifth floor (Which has walls 18" thick with brick, and are impossible to climb from the outside) you have key your way through this door (Which uses a skeleton key, and has no inside door lock handle, you must insert the key from the outside to lock it also.

THEN, you let yourself into the next door - which is also steel metal and framed - locking from the inside with previously stated skeleton key.

In a nutshell, we are totally safe :)
