I hope that Mikkel's examples gave you, brave readers :-), a sense of the 'unease' we often feel here in South Africa. We don't fit into the surroundings of the (poor) people in the townships. But at the same time, we don't fit in with the white rich either, at least not without feeling uneasy about it! Somehow this country and its past make it harder to enjoy certain things -and luxuries- without a feeling of guilt. This gets worse by the fact that white South Africans (and tourists!) do not always seem to have this unease...
