How to safe money
Perhaps, you know that it is better not to keep all the money at the same place. They say that the hotel safes are much secured. Anyway, there is not more secured place than your bank is. Bring the credits with you, not cash. There is not guarantee that the local police are able to return your stolen money. As for the credits cards, it is possible to report into your bank as soon as it is possible after the loss or theft and ask to deactivate your cards. At the airport take money with you. A friend of mine left her money at the suitcase and gave her luggage registered. Of course, she did not find her money after receiving her luggage in Egypt. It is better not to show your wallet, money or cards in public. You are not recommended to exchange currency at the black market. There are thousands of tricks, each other them is original and very witty. Also they say that it is better to buy the souvenirs, airline and train tickets at the official offices or shops. As for the tickets, it is a must.
If you have the credit cards with you only, check if the banks are able to assist you abroad. Be attentive that every card is returned you at the supermarket.
Sometimes people leave some money to the friends they trust. In the case of emergency you can ask them to return you cash.
