Examples

“Дарэчы, мая трэцяя кватэра знаходзіцца ў цэнтры гораду, мэтраў за 300 ад турмы. Пазнаць астрог можна па калючай агароджы, сам жа двухпавярховы цагляны будынак падобны, хутчэй, на дыхтоўную школку ці дом адпачынку.”

By the way, my third apartment is located in the city center, about 300 meters from the prison. It's possible to recognize the prison by its barbed wire fence, though the two-story brick building itself resembles more of a well-built school or a holiday home.
