Also, canguro de seguridad. And riñonera de seguridad- riñonera and canguro are both ways of saying fanny pack. I don't know if there are shades of difference of meaning.
Do people wear money belts in Colombia? Despite relatively frequent muggings, I always had the impressions that thieves generally pat their victims down, so a money belt wouldn't really help much.
My other bloglooks at colonial patterns in international solidarity and ways that we might change them, and talks about my research on international accompaniment and how it uses difference and privilege to make space for peace. The latest entries are listed below.
