Re: Breaking Belize News ( NOT Good News) by BunnieMarie

My husband and I were seriously thinking of moving to Belize until we read about all the corruption which involves politicians, police etc. When the very people that are there to protect us have fingers pointed at them as being corrupt and involved ...

How dare you imply that my neighbor and I have advertised our "wealth" and are somehow responsible for enticing thieves to rob us!!! This is the only time I have ever had anyone attempt to characterize my social security retirement ... Read More

while it is possible to avoid some of the difficulties here with ample income, make no mistake that the corruption in government affects EVERYTHING. From the price of goods and services to law enforcement to food and utilities, television ... Read More

Have you looked at other areas in Mexico and the Carribean islands? for many reasons, I believe that someone with a disability is at risk in Belize. A week here as a tourist during tourist season is not the same as living here full time. Please ... Read More

In retrospect, would you move again to Belize? by Christine

Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Belize, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...

I remain in Belize due to personal circumstances. I have lived in better places internationally and currently have friends living in better places internationally. I have good friends, good neighbors and own a modest concrete house with A/C in ... Read More

I have NOT said that Belize is dangerous and bleak. If your experience is different then say so instead of attempting to disparage me. I did respond to the question as asked. I have stated the conclusions I have reached based upon my ... Read More

Will, your experience as a part timer in the tourist center of Placencia is obviously different than mine as a full time resident in the town of Corozal. It is most inappropriate of you to claim that I have a vendetta etc. You know your ... Read More

With a Sunnyvale California address, Do you live full time in Belize? Perhaps a 30 year long term resident with property inland has different experiences than those living in coastal communities. The people who seek & expect bribes do ... Read More
