I'll take my chances with my Drivers License in my wallet basically anywhere in the world, and maybe a photocopy of my passport as another posted suggested. And if I have a run in with the police then I'll be more than happy to tell them I can produce my passport at my hotel/apartment. Some of you people are acting like we are saying we'd rock up to an embassy without our passport -- no, we're talking about day to day life, it's usually quite alright.
