Belize...How cool is it there?
 

I have so many friends moving to Belize or who have second homes there you'ld think the country was a suburb of the USA.

They LOVE it there. A pal just told me his first day deep sea fishing he nailed a 7ft barracuda by himself. That kind of fishing no wonder the guys don't wanna leave.

All the old timers have sold their homes and hang out there. It's amazing what they're telling me. They say it's one of if not the most beautiful country they've ever been in.

Anybody here visit or invest there?

where the fuck is Belize?

never heard of that place.

I have a friend who is an archaeologist and she goes with a team to Belize every year or two and digs around ruins hoping to find stuff. She loves it down there, she doesn't know much Spanish, but she wants to be there more so she is learning.

I went down there in the 80s to invest in a cattle ranch in the Mayan Mountains of Western Belize with my Dad. The land was beautiful with tall green grass, random Mayan ruins and a karst landscape. Then. we went to Belmopan and spoke with the Economic Minister.

His advice was stay the fuck away...because the socialist win every couple of elections and nationalize everything that foreigners establish. Then, a couple of years later, the social democrats get in and give the previously nationalized properties to their buddies to operate. He said it was really one big scam.

If you want a beach house, it will probably be ok, but, you don't want to buy anything substantial.

On another point, Belize City is the biggest, smelliest, wretched pit in the Western Hemisphere. I had a women offer to fuck me for stamps at the post office. The poverty is grinding, the stinking shit runs in the ditches, and the city locks down at sunset behind steel doors. Even with the beautiful beaches and fishing, the Brit soldiers say it is the worst duty station in the British Empire...

Just my experiences...

They speak English there, at least it is the official language

I've never been there, so I am just going on what she is doing because she loves the place. Apparently enough of them speak Spanish to make it worth her while?

if they dont have to eat and your friend got a 7ft barracuda they should learn fishing

Belize is the shit, stable currency, british banking laws, and awesome fishing. Caught this one off of Ambergrise Kaye. I love it there and am thinking about buying a place there too

Haven't been here yet.
But this place looks really nice. :thumbsup

Yo!!! That's a mighty cuda you landed there! Was it tough to get?

I heard Honduras is the other bright spot. Is Honduras as good/bad as Belize?

Nice site! very tempting!

I was down there a couple of years ago.. didn't like it that much. I hear much better things about Costa Rica..

it sure does looks nice in that place. nice fish too.
