I don't quite remember how I got it, but I believe I obtained it either about 30 years ago when I went to Nepal, or from a Japanese traveler who came to Nepal from Tibet. Since I've never used it myself since I got it, it's in relatively good condition for its age. It's a neck-worn type, and can be used like a valuables bag during travel, but I don't know how strong or durable it is. It has a zipper. It's roughly passport-sized, but it's a tight fit, so it might be difficult to take a passport in and out. It might be good for holding the day's cash during travel, etc.
