The main thing I got out of the first few minutes of this video is that Belize attracts people from all over the World, including those from their native countries who cannot even speak properly like your guest.

Am a born an raise Belizean,I don't eat rice and beans 3 times a day ,and I don't eat the same thing every day.i change my food every day and we eat lots of veggies.and so do other people.

Hello Elizabeth how are you? I am interested in talking to a local about some of the basics of staying in Belize for a few months on the cheap. Would love to ask you some questions?

Since you're not from Belize and from Brazil a completely different culture it may not be the same. This video is about this man's almost 15 years experience in belize.

Taking food home from parties is normal In Guinea Conakry. Most of the things on list are also applicable to small African towns.

Thanks for sharing this video!😍

Great practical info! Haven’t heard some of these yet.

Thank you for the great info

Really good video and advice

The gibnut (Royal Rat) is not a National symbol of Belize. The Mahogany tree, the Keel Bill Toucan, The Black Orchid, The Tapir and the National Flag.

Thanks for a great video!

Very informative!😍🙏

excellent video

Thank You!

Thank you for the info We have a few properties on the west side of Ambergriscaye. Just finished building a rental property at “ Secret Beach “ . It’s true, there’s definitely a real thing called Island time . Our build took 5 months and 20% more. Being in the construction trade in New England for 35+ years this was a difficult concept for me to get over. But now we are past the learning curve. I also agree every one knows each other, be kind , respectful and give back. The locals are truly friendly. While we are investing on the island at this point , I am thinking the main land is quit different in some aspects. I encourage anyone looking to move to or invest in Belize to live your dreams.

Yes !!! Thanks for the great info. My husband and I are considering retiring there 😎. Everything you talk about is important. So many people ( all over the world ) don’t have a clue about being polite when they travel to another culture. Use your common sense and be polite. Read people’s body language. If you don’t know how to be empathetic please keep your opinions and judgements to yourself and don’t stare ! Thank you again for the useful information and humor . Namaste.

His information about the whole family showing up to a date is misleading. He must have invited them or they would not show up. About meeting the Prime Minister is not available upon request. Belizeans don't eat everything that moves. We may be poor but very picky. You don't pay a fine to the police. If you do it is bribery. Building materials are readily available in Belize. He probably wanted something different that would have to be imported or depending on the part of the country he lived. While he had some good points, I recommend the owner of this site verify information before posting from expats.

was wondering ...how was it being a red head in Belize?

But what if YOU don’t have breaks on your car? How do you pull over onto the right. By the time you stop you could be in another town. Must take forever to get anywhere… or to not accidentally get everywhere?

How is the wifi quality? Can I work remotely in Belize?

So... if anyone feom belize can answer tgis for me. My wife and I are thinking highly of moving there. Does tgis mean we have to get rid of our custom mustang? Hows the cable/dish wifi there? Ditch our custom clothig? And hows the job market it down there for like an artist / director?

Why haven’t they renewed my visa that I submitted since august after the previous once expired due to COVID

Bought beachfront in ambergris Caye….love Belizeans! There are corrupt general contractors though, so be very careful! And remember, island time is a real thing. We’re one year in, and still haven’t broken ground on our home. 2 architects have blown us off this far, and still no GC. We love belize though! Avid divers….slice of paradise here. 🏝

Don't be afraid to try cuye, which I found around the Garafuna communities around Hopkins and Dangriga. Absolutely no fat and very tender when marinated and skewered. We call them guinea pigs. Definitely a cheap alternative to beef and pork.

People in belize don't eat rice and beans three times a day these are the varieties that people can eat the rice and bean, stew bean and rice, is it a stable food of the Creole yes but not three times a day

Beans, beans the magical fruit. The more you eat the more you toot. So while you eat beans in your birthday suit gives us a wink and a beaut.
