Wide open windows

My home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia is in a 10 story building. It has 5 floor to ceiling windows and when the windows are open, they are wide enough for an adult to climb out of. Any size child could accidentally fall from these windows. Windows in the US don’t normally open wide enough for children or adults to fall out of so I was shocked to see this in Cambodia.


Safety tip: check your windows before moving in and add locks to ensure they won’t open too wide.
