It might be more obvious to us, since we live in this culture, but if you noticed the radiator blocking the door, you are right. Reed took this picture at one of his favorite cafes the other day. This is the FIRE EXIT. No worries, if there is a fire, everyone just needs to jump over the radiator. And I can only hope and assume that the door swings out!
Reed has an uncanny knack for noticing things that would be building code violations in the States. It could be being a former architect or the fact that 1 year ago he exited our fire escape door from our apartment during an earthquake only to have it padlocked shut at the base of the stairs. So he notices these things right away. One of the first things we noticed on our new apartment was that there was a padlock at the base of the fire escape as well.
Anyways, we got a good chuckle out of this one, but I really hope that door never has to be used!
