7 8 9 10 11 [Next] - To help people help you during an emergency in a foreign land, type (and preferably laminate) a small card, on which you mention your age, blood group and other relevant medical details. Most important, a number to contact - a global cell phone or the number of the hotel you are staying at. Carry this at all times in your wallet. Mothers can write details of children with them on the same card. 1-Jan-2000 A. Sharma ID902 - Only carry as much cash as you need for the day, as automatic teller machines are found every few blocks in many cities. 1-Jan-2000 Ronald G. ID891 - Wear a 'money necklace' over your neck and under your undershirt, to hold your cash/passport. Similar to a money belt, I bought one at a travel shop in the USA. Using your front pocket for wallet/valuables is simply not safe; Kids will notice it, grab it from behind, and run away. Sure, you'll feel it, but you won't be able to catch them. 1-Jan-2000 Ronald G. ID892 - Do not wear or carry ANY external carrying devices - purses or fanny packs, - in any city. Purses are snatchable targets and fanny (or belly) packs are openable in crowded trains and buses. Wear clothing with front pockets for casual necessities, or use black nylon hideaway pouches attached to your belt and worn under your clothing for important items. Pouches worn on a string around your neck are grotesque, to say the least. 1-Jan-2000 Bob Riordan ID900 - If you can, get a toilet cubicle next to a wall. You can put all of your bags and things between the wall and your leg. It minimizes the risk of someone reaching under from the next toilet to take things, and takes away the hassle of having things on your lap while trying to go to the toilet. 10-Nov-2002 Kate ID1358 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
