Internet Cafe Privacy:

I just read this article about how dangerous it is to be checking your email, Paypal, bank account- while on those virus laden internet cafe computers you find in every major city worldwide. What it suggests as a pretty good way to protect yourself, is to carry around one of those USB sticks with a collection of "portable software programs" that let you check your mail and such, right from the usb stick. Instead of signing your password into the internet browser installed on their evil identity stealing bank account emptying deathbox -

PS: Another thing to consider, is also storing your passport and other important documents on the USB stick, but in that case, you might want to purchase an encrypted usb stick like this: https://store.ironkey.com/basic. This will ensure that if you loose(or some one steals) your USB, that no one can read the contents.
