If you are relaxing on the upper berth of a railway coach, before lying down with money or papers in your pocket put your hand inside your pants and twist the cloth of the pockets to pinch the outlet. That way it you fall asleep, things will not fall out if you roll over. It is not uncommon for those sleeping underneath to find a few coins that have rained down from the berth above. If you doubt the extent of this possibility, you should witness the rush of little boys at terminal stations who, after the passengers have detrained, clamber all over in search of fallen treasures. Buttoned deep front pockets are preferable to conventional shallow side pockets whose contents will dig into you as you sleep.
Cycling is healthy and hire shops can be found everywhere.
Make sure the condition of the bike is commensurate with the distance to be traveled. It must be fitted with a lock and a brake that actually works. You will be asked to leave a deposit and told the rates according to the hour. Most bikes are fitted with narrow handlebars and are not meant for more than a sedate spin between office and work. Swerve away from all tea stalls and shops advertising the sale of liquor, as there may be glass on the road.
