Makeshift doorbells in San Telmo.
Intercom systems are the norm in apartment buildings here, usually with some way of buzzing open the door from your apartment. (Not in my place, though, I have to go all the way down to let people in!) They take safety seriously here, but sometimes a little too far. In my building, for example, the front door only opens with a key, for both going in and going out. This seems like a fire hazard to me, not being able to run out of the building unless you have your keys, but hey, what are you going to do? It's very common here.
