PROTECTING YOUR VALUABLES:To prevent theft, don't keep all your valuables (money, important documents) in one place. Label every piece of luggage both inside and out. Don't put a wallet with money in your back pocket. Never count your money in public and carry as little as possible. If you carry a purse, buy a sturdy one with a secure clasp, and carry it crosswise on the side, away from the street with the clasp against you. A money belt is the best way to carry cash; you can buy one at most camping supply stores. A neck pouch is equally safe, although far less accessible. Keep some money separate from the rest to use in an emergency or in case of theft.PICKPOCKETS:In city crowds, especially on public transportation, pickpockets are very good at their craft. Rush hour is no excuse for strangers to press up against you on the métro. If someone stands uncomfortably close, move to another car and hold your bags tightly. Be alert in public telephone booths. If you must say your calling card number, do so quietly; when you punch it in, make sure no one can see you.

Again I enjoyed reading your highly literate and entertaining (and informative!) travelogues and tips, with a nice personal touch. |
