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?
Yes obviously. My friend is from Belize and he eats normally as in same as ordinary people anywhere Sounds like some people stereotype people No one knows who Charlie Price is either... 😁
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.
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.
I can't believe this guy does videos or has viewerd Maybe people are looking at him, like me, thinking... can he get any worse Bribing police.. omg, what a nutter - obviously don't try that people
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.
Retire in America where you're from. Let Black people have their own land, you have all the white privilege you need here stop being a capitalist predator.
He’s speaking as an expat rather than a local. I know when I lived in China that I experienced different things than what the locals did or had.. just insightful information ℹ️
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.
I have lived here 6 1/2 years I have a saying about the locals, you have to be careful who you date because they may be your kin! I know people that actually happened to. They were in love and later found our they were cousins and had to break up.

If you are a visitar or tourist enjoy where you visit dont go to look for error, and every country has its own problems. I enjoy life and avoid problems.
You said “the local beef is expensive, it’s coming a long way and improving rapidly and cost more than the local beef and chicken” so I’m confused because you just compared local beef to local beef??? Are you trying to compare local Belize beef to local American beef??
It's developing world important to realize. host from Ireland/Europe mentioned being gringo doesn't this pertain to Mexicans versus north Americans or just anyone from first world.
Yah Man !....taking food and -especially- drinks from parties is very common- I know this habbit from Jamaica...it's no problem, but be aware of it and protect your rum supply ;-) In Jamaica, and I think, that applies to Belize as well, many locals consider all white people to be rich (which is kinda true, if you compare a German average wage to a Belizian).So, they won't feel guilty taking a soda, beer, rum or food from your party...
use common sense, look them in the eyes when you ask for the price, if they over charge you a 30 cents or so ? so what ? next time your coming in you get great services, but if they overcharge you big time ? i am off...people in poor countries are smart, they have to be, body language, eye contact, never dress to rich, never show you are eager to buy, i sold second hand goods on markets, also in Ukraine, ...if you like to haggle ? do so with a smile, respect,
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. 🏝
Good day, are you all planning to be on or off grid?... Also are you doing a stick build or something like a manufactured/tiny home?... I am interested and inquiring as I am planning in moving down as well.
@@athinkingwoman.1824 off the grid - as in Secret Beach area? No. There’s no power or water there yet. We’re south of San Pedro. Definitely not wise to build anything other than a concrete home bc of hurricanes, and up off the ground at least 4ft. Best of luck!
HE is right about *WARNING* EXPATS to "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" in BELIZE and NOT to GET MIXED UP with the LOCALS and their MARRIAGES and their POLITICS!!! IMO: He is an EXPERT about 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?
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 did you stop the theft of your water fear. I just bought my new windsurfing board with 3 sails. I spent over $6k for my new board. How can I make sure my stuff stays secure? How did you find a place to live. Thx for responding:)

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.
Taking food home from parties is normal In Guinea Conakry.
Most of the things on list are also applicable to small African towns.
I figure an Enduro motorcycle is the best option for me. Couple saddle bags and I should be good to go.
You mean his real first name is Con? And he sells real estate?
Probably an abbreviation of CONNER. The Irish are big on that name.
😂
I have no clue what this Guy said about traffic
I can't believe this guy does videos or has viewerd

Have you begun looking at properties there?
Great practical info! Haven’t heard some of these yet.
Oh my lord 🙄 I came here looking for info. But most of these comments are scary.
Am a born Belizean , and I never eat rice and beans three times a day,
I just saw another video where some fool some idiots said they were forced to eat rice and beans every day
@@shethingsd people have a choice to eat what they want, nobody force anybody to do nothing, people just talk nonsense,

Lol ..inoften remind pple coming here that friendly does not equal kind, or even moral for that matter
Howdy, can I chat with you? I'm interested in Belize too.
@@mississippiapple1078hi, we have a property on the Island in Belize. Do you still have questions and interest?
Great video, thank you!
As an American expat wanting to live in Belize, can I find, date, and marry a much younger woman with a half-age gap between us??
Hmm... why never ask a real Belizean.. this man really doesn't know anything about Belize..
was wondering ...how was it being a red head in Belize?
I have lived here 6 1/2 years I have a saying about the locals, you have to be careful who you date because they may be your kin! I know people that actually happened to. They were in love and later found our they were cousins and had to break up.

You said “the local beef is expensive, it’s coming a long way and improving rapidly and cost more than the local beef and chicken” so I’m confused because you just compared local beef to local beef??? Are you trying to compare local Belize beef to local American beef??
i think Belize have still small scale farming, the products of this farms are much much better, the proof is in the taste,
I learned early on, Right now means maybe never lol

Where does Jamaica comes into this? You nuff! In everything like salt with your false pride, nothing else.
i wonder who paid for everyone to go to the circus ?

It's always been my dream to live and drive in a country with horrible roads and cars on the road with no brakes.
Stay in your beautiful 😍 country with your nice roads and nice house 🏠
@@giniolamy It took you 2 months to come up with that?
@@giniolamy you did that so nicely. Well done 🤝☮️
Dude lived in belize and still dont know shitz. Most of wat he saying is bs
LoL, it's not that bad.
You did not talk about the quality of Wi-Fi and using a television
That’s because they’re too busy “living” not wasting life sitting and scrolling.
Is haggling a custom or is it frowned on?

Can I rent a townhouse on the water for 2k a month.?
Yes! Or less!
Stop over paying for box size apartments in high crime cities. I pay $1600 a month for a box and my kayaks/bikes have gotten stolen 3x
How did you stop the theft of your water fear. I just bought my new windsurfing board with 3 sails. I spent over $6k for my new board. How can I make sure my stuff stays secure? How did you find a place to live. Thx for responding:)
Why haven’t they renewed my visa that I submitted since august after the previous once expired due to COVID
How is the wifi quality? Can I work remotely in Belize?
The reason for the road rule is obvious.. pull to the side for a turn across traffic on a road
Are there many single women who retire or move to Belize?
Thanks for a great video!
Reverse Psychology at it's best.
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.

It’s relatively inexpensive, $2:$1 bz to us

They eat the turtles and Alpacas ?? 🐢 💔🦙💔
There are no Alpacas in Belize and only fresh water turtles, from rivers and ponds.
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
