one comment that every traveller makes at some point or other is that they wished they had packed less stuff. from squeezing it all into the rucksack, to lugging around towns to various bus stations and hostels, it always feels too heavy. a few months ago i chucked out a pair of jeans and a pair of trainers and it felt really liberating - literally a weight off my shoulders. despite this i still feel like i should shed more of my load, and can't help but feel jealous when i see people getting by with half of what i have. on the flipside, one item that i can never wrap my head around people bringing with them is a guitar. don't get me wrong, i like it when they do as it can create a really cool atmosphere - assuming they can actually play it - but logistically it just seems like it would be a massive hassle. this french-canadian dude trumped the acoustic guitar when he pulled out a shisha pipe from his bag. i really don't know how you can go around from place to place carrying such a large, awkward, fragile object - but he managed it so you can't help but respect that. oh, and he had an acoustic guitar as well.

here's the original
