Guilt! I have had this feeling of guilt since arriving back from the wedding in Australia. Why? For various reasons, all of them trivial. Now before I go on to tell my story, let me start of by saying that guilt is a big thing in my family. We are all comfortably endowed with a guilty conscience about anything and anybody, it is in our genes. Returning to Guangzhou I had made all these plans, I ... Read Full Entry

Duuuuude... Duuuude.... You're being very unduuude... Don't feel guilty. Like you said, you're not going to go back to China for a very long time after this, so you might as well do China well.

I am taking an extra 30 minutes and have decided that there will be no guilt about it, as ironically a certain Dutch friend was teaching me to do!

Traveller's Guilt
Indeed, there is nothing once can do about that guilty feeling except sit around with some fellow travellers and have a discussion about it in a hostel or expat bar. It normally takes two or three days of just drinking and talking about it to get over it. I think it is exasperated by the guys back home telling us how lucky we are to be away.
