There's always an OPTION; I like that, my man!

@maryjoemontana Sometimes it's hard to keep that in mind when things are tough. So I think a little reminder might help!

Yeah, this seems to be a common practice in these countries. But did you know by law your supposed to carry your passport at all times? You can tell them you will give them a copy. They do need this information because by law the guesthouses and hotels are "supposed" to make a list and submit it showing the foreigners staying there. I Keep copies just for these occasions. I also do not carry my passport because of the fact that if it got stolen or lost I would have big problems.

JC, You mentioned different places like motor scooter rentals wanting to keep your passport.I also noticed hotels and guest houses request to hold your passport.How do you get around having to give them your most valued possession?

I also keep a laminated business card size full color copy of my photo id passport page and my visa page just in case I need it and carry it at all times. JC
