4/7     What's the best way to keep your passport safely when travelling
        abroad? Does anyone have good or bad experiences with those slim
        pouches that wrap around your waist/stomach/chest?
        \_ I kept my passport in a slim waist pouch inside my pants during a
           two week trip to rural China. It wasn't really that uncomfortable.
           As a safety precaution, make sure you have a photocopy of it
           kept somewhere else in your bags.
        \_ I keep mine in my front pants pocket.  Don't need no steenkin'
           waist or under-the-shirt pouch.
        \_ Good tip is to make 2 photocopies of main passport page and all
           pages with relevant visas or extensions.  Keep one in your bag,
           the other in your wallet.  I just keep my passport in an inside
           jacket pocket "fo' e-z access".  -John

           body screaming, "stupid naive tourist".
