Safety and Security

Don't get me wrong-Odessa is a very safe city.

However, the security at our building cracks me up!

We have two guards and a security gate at the entrance to our building complex. (And of course, a couple of lame dogs who seem to scare no one except Arun!)

About a month ago, they installed a security keypad on the door to our building unit. At first, they posted the sign with the code on the door: #4231
Ok- I thought- it'll be there for a week or so until everyone in the building memorizes it- and then they'll take it down.
Well- it's been over a month now, and the sign is still displayed!
Yeah... VERY secure!

But I guess it goes to show how terrified and fearful we are in the States, and often, rightly so.
Here- we hop in with strangers to get places, and display the security code for all-comers!~~
