In Reply to: Is it safe to carry a small back pack posted by kezglov on Tuesday, 4. July 2006 at 20:15 Bali Time:
a bag I bought from mataharis. it goes across the body so harder to just pull off and is adjustable. It completely zippers up with multiple pockets (including pockets within pockets) and is small but enough to hold camera, water, money and my tissues, plus room for a few smaller purchases. I tend to split my money up among the pockets so when I pay it looks like i havent got much with me, and in the case of a pick pocket, I would only loose a small portion.
Usually I carry it behind me aswell and never had a problem. ALthough when stopped and chatting or in crowded areas it comes to the front and my hand rests on it. :)
Common sense and awarness are the key
