Useful if you are going for the first time to the Indian subcontinent and want to know more about toilets, carrying your money safely, booking trains, or getting from the airport in Delhi when you arrive late in the evening. In CHM ebook (fully searchable) format.

Making your own money belt is easy. If you make this belt as suggested, the costs should be less than half that of a commercial belt and - provided you sew carefully - it will last 2-5 times as long. If you are experienced in using a machine you can make it in about an hour. By hand it will take you quite a bit longer (four hours or more) because stitching in confined places around the zip is tricky. This is a complete pattern and instructions suitable for beginners. More accomplished sewers can adapt the design to personalise it.
