When I lived in Germany I always left with my house keys, but here in rural Brazil, the only key I need is my cars!

(I used to live so close to the city center I didn’t need a car, and now I live so far away that I don’t even bother locking my front door).

    Can you explain what you mean by this to someone who’s lived in asphalt his entire life? Is your home so far from others that the likelihood of a break-in is negligible, or is there a different meaning I’m missing?

      Yeah that’s it, I live 8km from the city center and 300m off the asphalt. The chances of a home invasion here is basically 0, and if they came all this way, a lock won’t stop them.

        I see.

        Here, I walk 5 minutes to get the mail, and pass by ~12 houses, half of which have a Ring doorbell that yells, “HI! You are currently being recorded.”
