Why didn’t you buy food for this kind man who saved you from being robbed by the gangs? I could not sit down to eat knowing that I’m with someone and not offer food.

I lived in Belize and we're buying property there. Every place can be dangerous, worldwide. Belize City is one of those places. But, it's no wonder, considering this is a developing country. But, don't let that deter you from seeing the rest of the country (minus Dangriga, same issues). It's lovely. I brought all three daughters and my mother. Check it out!
I was a serving soldier in Belize in the 70s it was always a little lawless in Mesopotamia, but none of the killings that are happening today, this is all thanks to the drugs that pass through Belize. A sad state of affairs, especially as most Belizean's are really friendly, like the guy who walked you out of there. Over all, Belize is still a safe place to visit, but like all countries, it has some bad areas. I have family who live in the area, and sadly, more than one of them have been murdered in recent times, all in their teens.

So sad for Belize, my ex is Belizean. The country could have tourism by the balls being that English is spoken throughout the country. What a beautiful place.
Being from a “bad neighborhood” in America..My advice to you is to listen more and sayless. You told on yourself when you made a statement about the gangs before the guy told you about them. He just you was heading to a bad neighborhood, but you informed him you knew about the area when you ask if that’s where the gangs where. That’s an imply that you knew what you were going into. That’s a easy way to find what you are looking for. Stay safe.
To be honest Im a young Belizean Man and it's kind of a shame to see our older folks depicting solely the bad stuff and highlighting the bad people of this country to tours or visitors.
When you see a tourist going to his demise, it’s the kindest act to pull him aside and give him a talk.... He did show local shops, kind locals and suggested better areas to explore 💪🇧🇿👌
I too am from Belize and ole bwai fabricated so much and made things looks way worse than it really it, that it's upsetting. I'm sure ole bwai asked for money when they were finished, which was his end goal.
Glad that guy was there looking out for you and gave you a tour! Its scary going through bad areas I've been through bad areas in my home town in Upstate New York. Got robbed once trying to help a woman who said her car broke down. Another time I was driving to my college in New York and decided to take one of the bad areas just because it was quicker and I was late for a lectuer well luckly nothing happened to me except a guy shouted at me for driving too slow but I was nervous he might of had a gun... sooo I never drove through that area again!
Well carry a gun with you and be ready. Not everyone live in a bad neighborhood is evil and not everyone who live in the suburbs are good people. Just make sure you protect your self at all times.
Yeah yeah! Your best video so far, its always good when theres a local introducing the area albeit this one was legit dangerous, keep it up and stay safe bro! 👊
I wonder if the guy from Finland considered the life of his “ tour guide”. He gets to leave but the Belize man lives there; pray for his safety. It seems the Finish dude didn’t get permission to record. I love Belize. ❤️☝🏽
Im from Orange walk (one of the 6 Districts in Belize) And my family avoids Belize city because of the crime rate but i have traveled through Belize and I can agree that the people are generous and respectable

In my mind I’m thinking, now that old dude has to walk all the way back if he doesn’t want to spend that 8 dollars lol
That tour guide was really friendly. In general Belizeans are really nice to tourists. The violence is between the gangs not the local people. Belize has a lot of corruption and the economy only keeps on getting worst. We drove around Belize city including the south side in the morning time and it was ok. We did see some kids riding bikes throwing gang signs. Other than that, there was good fast food restaurants in the city and fresh tropical fruits.
dude u so crazy it's hilarious! thanks for sharing your experience. heading to belize for the 3rd time, i love it so much, but I would NEVER go where u went lol! Your vid makes me love the people even more than I already do. Hope u at least bought the round, he saved your life :)
Dope dude! I was too chicken to go beyond the bus station. Where did you take that pic in the header of your channel? Where you stand on a railway bridge.
This vedio is the reason why people turist think the worst of us. Me and my 2 brothers and sister walked there all our life. Trust me it's not all that. You mind uour own busnies and you can walk almost anywhere in this country. It's for the views though right. #Bless
Well the fact is that Belize has one of the highest murder rates in the world and mostly the reason for it is that area in southern Belize City. The video is only about that area, not about the whole Belize or areas popular amongst tourists. It's a beautiful country and mostly safe. But every country in the world has some sketchy areas.
My grandfather used to have a house on George Street in Belize City that my family and I used to visit when I was much younger. I had no idea it was so bad at the time.
I’m from Belize too certain areas is dangerous but overall everybody is cool af plus everything is cheap make sure who ever see this go to the Chinese restaurant and get a Fry Chicken with fries or rice I bet you won’t regret it 🇧🇿 💯
Thank you for making this. I may go to Belize City in January, and I am an 18-year old American (it's for a college group). I want to make sure I don't go in the wrong area because I personally like exploring my surroundings.
I applaud 👏 yall on doing stuff like this solo, I would love to visit my country but I always get a bad feeling I won't make it out. My biological older brother (i was adopted as a kid and moved to the states) just got shot and was only 34. Only 2 of the boys out the whole family made it out the country sheesh
the gangs don't mess wit u if u just stick to ur own and show respect. u have a risk of getting robbed but also an equal risk of meeting someone friendly. if u wanna make sure ur safe just handle someone generously and ull be ok
This is filled with inaccuracies, 5-6 ppl don't die everyday yea there is a problem with gangs but its most often amongst themselves although mistaken identity and stray bullets sometimes kill innocent ppl. Next time just find someone local and knowledgeable. He over exaggerated alot. Belize is not as dangerous as he makes it seem.
@@officialwildcardadventures I still am. I am a proud Belizean 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿. And I live in the city for the pass 46 years on the Southside. Raised 4 law abiding citizens too.
Reminds me of Kenya. Lots of people there want to be your "friend." But that can be dangerous or even fatal, especially when someone wants to take you somewhere regardless if it's a man or woman (they often work in teams and will spike your drink or the bartender can for a cut of the proceeds). Kidnapping and killing of foreign tourists is all to common. It's very easy to lose your life over the perceived idea that you are a "rich" foreigner even though you may have very little. Best bet is to stay out of areas like this, especially at night (very foolish).
Leave kenya out of your big mouth. Kenya is peaceful country with lots of kind and friendly people. We treat visitors well and that's why many foreigners have settled here compared to other east African countries
Thank you for visiting my country. It’s not all that bad everywhere has crime. There’s still numerous beautiful places to visit here in Belize and we’re very friendly people.
I agree Kadeem. Belize is incredible country with lots of beautiful places to visit. Also the people are very friendly. I did a lot of hitchhiking there and many friendly locals picked me up. Every country in the world has some bad areas, I could have done similar video in many other places also. As I mentioned in the beginning of the video, in Belize the gang violence concentrates mostly on the southern parts of the Belize City, which I explore in the video
The thing is Belize does have a problem with gangs especially in that area; i.e. it's where i live...but not so much murder's. Belize is not as dangerous as he makes it seem.People just do your research and maybe find someone who will actually tell the truth and be more accurate.
Here's the latest statistics I used. Unfortunately Belize has the fifth highest murder rate in the world. You can start your research here. www.statista.com/statistics/262963/ranking-the-20-countries-with-the-most-murders-per-100-000-inhabitants/
@@LittleshamelessViking bro the only reason it appears that way is because the population is small. Every other country around us people die far more than in Belize and some are just not recorded. We don’t even have kidnappings like that. I live in that same area you visited for 8 years and haven’t been robbed and I’m of clear complexion. You just gotta move smart like anywhere else you go. Belize is relatively safe for anyone to visit as long as you don’t flex your belongings.
It’s such a shame that the locals would exaggerate certain things. Not saying that it’s not a hot zone but I used to walk that very street every single day to go catch the city bus to go to school and not once have I felt unsafe or been robbed or bothered. And the subtitle in the beginning is wrong. That young man did not say he was going to do coke. He said “I am going up here to the laundry to do clothes.” Evidenced by the laundromat shown less than 2 minutes later
After the Finnegan market you should have tried the best and cheapest fry chicken in Belize kickdown fence fry chicken. I live in Belmopan but when I go to the city trust me I must get my kickdown fence chicken
I'm tired of people saying it has one of the highest murder rates, ofc it will, to make the rate you need to use the average population. The population in Belize hasn't even passed half a million so ofc it will sound higher, I'm pretty sure America has more deaths and murders per week than Belize but because of America's population size it looks like a small murder rate, for instance; 1/2 = 50%. While 5/15 = 33.3%, do you see what I'm saying? It's not as bad as people say it is.
Yes, that's the meaning of murder rate. It's the amount of homicides compared to 100 000 inhabitants, not the total amount. Surely countries with larger population have higher total amount of murders. Still there are countries with smaller population that have lower murder rate.
So many of these UA-camrs are incredibly naíve to do things like this, líve in those areas and you’d have a lot more respect for how dangerøus they really are. By the time these UA-camrs figure that out they will be in the hospital (or cemetery).
BELIZE is a beautiful country. We aren't perfect. Yes we have bad/criminal elements. But as long as you avoid walking alone on these poverty stricken areas you should enjoy your stay here. The violence Usually tends to stay within their own gang circles ..rarely it spills over into our more peaceful communities.
This is that bloke's hustle - anyone who reminds you 50 times that he 'saved' you from certain death is working an angle...I get it, everyone needs a hustle. Clearly a tough area, clearly dangerous, but I am always extremely wary of strangers bearing unsolicited gifts and/or assistance...even in so called 'good areas'...as in prison, as in life - if it's offered immediately upon meeting you, it sure ain't free and you probably don't need it.
He was going up gorge street. My mom lived there. We used to go to Belize city all the time. We’ve been followed. My mom was cornered. Many tourists have been killed. He truly saved that man’s life. Round there they see foreigners as easy targets. No connections in Belize no citizenship, easy money, months till they even find y’all. When my mom goes to Belize city she pays a cop to go with her. We have a beautiful country but don’t fuck around. Every day someone gets shot. Affiliated persons and innocent persons. They just shot a boy ordering fried chicken. A young boy.
I was in Belize city over 10nyears ago, I also ventured into the city, it sort of remind me of what LA Ceiba Honduras used to look back in The early 80's, shame they took on the US street gang culture as the rest of Central America, love their food and Belkin of course.
@@imdominican..blacksworship892 a lot of blacc American went out there and started that crip and blood culture just like Toronto we have a strong hold on a
@@losangelesca5470 black Americans don't immigrate to poor countries on a large scale basis, much less hood dudes... It was black Belizeans who were living in LA and were involved in the gang culture out there, then later got deported and bought it back with them
@@imdominican..blacksworship892 and you Dominican you're not even from Belize so why you even speaking on the culture and you're not even from LA so why you even speaking on the LA culture you need to keep your mouth closed you know nothing about nothing
Your looking in the inside, in the outside its a beautiful place with many to explore. I am from Belize, wheather its dangerous or no, it is still my home
Every area has certain streets you need to avoid as a tourist and citizen. For this guy to be Tour Guide he's very unprofessional and negative. It's ok to be filled in with information to ascertain one's safety but not in the way he did. Belize is a beautiful country and there is a lot of exploring to do my friend. Visit the country on the weekdays where it'll be more populated. And next time, try taking a tour with someone who has a valid tour guide license and has more knowledge. You can find one at the Fort Street Tourist Village. Hope to see another video of Belize soon.
BELIZE is not a dangerous is like any other country who have areas and individuals who willing to take advantage of others. Nevertheless you will encounter and have people who are humble kind and caring and willing to share our culture and life style to anyone who coming to visit our lovely country which is majority. If you in the west side of the country san ignacio willing to show u around the villages outskirt of the town. Bless keep enjoying beautiful belize.
That's true. Most of Belize is calm and peaceful. The reason for sad statistics is mostly the area in southern Belize City, where gangs live. Outside of that area, there's no problem
I hope thean giving the tour is safe and you not only got information but reached out to him to help his face is on camera he will have to go back to those neighbourhood and you will fly home.
dude was giving up wayyyyyyy tooo much information and speaking on things he dont know about. he better be carefull that the govt he speaking about so carelessly dont make him disappear . ijs
Ok Ok thank you for that but to all the viewers, please do your own research. Every-time I see these sort of vlog of my country 'THE BAD SIDE' you always have some sort of guide hustler that will tell you exactly what you want to hear because you told them that you are looking for the bad side or the bad and dangerous part of my country. They won't disappoint because if they do, it will be no pay day. When I go to abroad, I as a tourist, will not venture in known criminal areas, and this is all over the world. What is not said is that very very rear the criminal elements reach out to tourist, i'm not saying it doesn't but Im saying it is very rear and really before you come you would book and information will be given. Also, these criminal elements in the bad area is isolated amounts themselves and their little hoods. Thanks again and I will shear this story with the Tourist Board.
@@LittleshamelessViking That is true and was not targeting you just the wider tubers in general. Marvas cooks well, I often get my traditional Sunday dinner (Rice and Beans, Stew chicken and Potato Salad) from her when not feeling like doing my chef thing.
Just got back from a lovely trip to San Pedro. Found the people were friendly and helpful. The food was awesome but expensive. Only got scammed buying gas at the gas station near the airport refilling our golf cart. Would return again.
Always talk to a old guy in Belize because there a old timer they know the people from the gangs since kids and they see you with them you ain't finna get messed with and there's a very small chance there in a gang but always say your with someone or going to someone just in case
All the people saying it was bad were manifesting negativity to that area, life is what you project, I’ve lived in the most inhospitable places in Africa and it was perfectly fine, I felt more safe than I do in the “safest” parts of London, the real criminals live in millionaire mansions.
i wish you would have asked him, what kind of industry he was in or would like to be in .. also what would it take for the gangs to switch to another legit industry. .in other words, if they sleft to the the US, what kind of work (or education) would he want to get into? what kind of skills/education is needed in Belize. .in the city and inland?
Belize is not Dangerous as Depicted. Everywhere has its share of Rif Raffs. Belize is in the Heart of central America, has many Beautiful Natural resources, highly educated and well informed people and planned tours for all, Murderation and danger is very much exaggerated with the old dude as he was making the videographer feel the need to TIP him.
Next time you decide to exploit a poor black man and compromise his safety for the purpose of views and likes, at least buy him some food whenever you eating ok sir. It's highly unethical and doesn't reflect you in the correct light !!!
My plan is to relocate to Belize and start some business ventures there. My concern is safety. Can Belize be more dangerous than my country, South Africa???
I can only answer from traveler's perspective as I haven't tried to establish a business there. For me Belize felt really safe in most parts, much safer than any other Central American country. The reason for sad statistics is the neighborhood in the southern parts of Belize City where gangs live. When staying out of that area, everything should be fine
@@LittleshamelessViking preferably I am eyeing the deep rural of the rural (with no infrastructure whatsoever) part of Belize to set up a Sugarcane and Nut farming. Luckily such areas are in the north western part of Belize, closer to the Mexico. Anyway, I will be there in February 2023 to scout out the land to buy and if possible I will buy.
Further, I am of the view that South Africa is more dangerous than Belize. Nigeria is worst!!!!! I have travelled other countries, and honestly most are super safe. Even Angola, I could travel into the heart of bloodthirsty areas but I was fine, despite not knowing Portuguese. America is worst. Just observe the list of serial killers there, as well as senseless killings. No, thanks USA is worst than Belize. Even Afghanistan is way better in terms of safety. But Belize (I stand to be corrected) seems a piece of cake. Not dangerous at all. If you can be guided by the local, then it's safe. In SA your guide might lead you astray but there are good people as well.
If you're visitin Roatan I would recomend you look up LETS GO ROATAN Tours, experienced tour operator, has lived in Roatan since 1993 and seeing cruise ships since 1995 - Let's Go Roatan
Why didn’t you buy food for this kind man who saved you from being robbed by the gangs? I could not sit down to eat knowing that I’m with someone and not offer food.

You deserve more subs and views I been following u from Facebook I will sub help you along, stay safe tho don’t do anything stupid pal 👍
Thank you very much! Always trying my best to not die haha 💪
Wow ohh mien This is sad to look at being a belizean growing up in Belize places looks so different
It definitely seems very different to any other areas in Belize. Most of Belize is beautiful and peaceful
I’m from Belize too certain areas is dangerous but overall everybody is cool af plus everything is cheap make sure who ever see this go to the Chinese restaurant and get a Fry Chicken with fries or rice I bet you won’t regret it 🇧🇿 💯
Promote local food instead
$100 a week? Cow foot soup was a great choice😋. Didn’t care for choice words. Thanks for an updated vlog on UA-cam and keeping people aware.
Cow foot soup was amazing 😋
See in the videos even the gang members spoke to him and made sure he was safe. We love people they just have their gang issues
Thank you for making this. I may go to Belize City in January, and I am an 18-year old American (it's for a college group). I want to make sure I don't go in the wrong area because I personally like exploring my surroundings.
Enjoy Belize City! It's an incredible place with friendly locals. Most of the areas are safe, just know where not to go
I think if you don't look for trouble it won't find you. Don't carry money. And enjoy! It's beautiful
@@Timetravel755bad advice. Avoid most of the city for you will get beaten up & robbed.
@@MarioRomero-cg2we fantastic 👏 👌
I applaud 👏 yall on doing stuff like this solo, I would love to visit my country but I always get a bad feeling I won't make it out. My biological older brother (i was adopted as a kid and moved to the states) just got shot and was only 34. Only 2 of the boys out the whole family made it out the country sheesh
That's terrible! I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the situation in your country improves
You warned not to go but you went, am glad you found that man because you literally walking into the lions den with no exfil option.
the gangs don't mess wit u if u just stick to ur own and show respect. u have a risk of getting robbed but also an equal risk of meeting someone friendly. if u wanna make sure ur safe just handle someone generously and ull be ok
Tip : dont flash your money in public like that
This is filled with inaccuracies, 5-6 ppl don't die everyday yea there is a problem with gangs but its most often amongst themselves although mistaken identity and stray bullets sometimes kill innocent ppl. Next time just find someone local and knowledgeable. He over exaggerated alot. Belize is not as dangerous as he makes it seem.
I know right i agree with you
Yes it is
Omg...lol the amount of crap that was said here! Bro...if u truly wanna experience Belize that is definitely not the guy...
Belize is the 15th most dangerous country out of 195 countries.
This is Belize City..... Belize has avg crime rate of 36 per 100k or 1:2778, most is in Belize City
It's not as dangerous as before. You should have been on those streets in the 80's and early 90's. You wouldn't have reached that far up that street.
It's good to hear that the situation has improved from those times
You must have lived it first hand.
Such a beautiful country.
@@officialwildcardadventures I still am. I am a proud Belizean 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿. And I live in the city for the pass 46 years on the Southside. Raised 4 law abiding citizens too.
@@leticiagibson2315 you are a rockstar Momma! 🙌🙌🏾
Reminds me of Kenya. Lots of people there want to be your "friend." But that can be dangerous or even fatal, especially when someone wants to take you somewhere regardless if it's a man or woman (they often work in teams and will spike your drink or the bartender can for a cut of the proceeds). Kidnapping and killing of foreign tourists is all to common. It's very easy to lose your life over the perceived idea that you are a "rich" foreigner even though you may have very little. Best bet is to stay out of areas like this, especially at night (very foolish).
Leave kenya out of your big mouth. Kenya is peaceful country with lots of kind and friendly people. We treat visitors well and that's why many foreigners have settled here compared to other east African countries
Thank you for visiting my country. It’s not all that bad everywhere has crime. There’s still numerous beautiful places to visit here in Belize and we’re very friendly people.
I agree Kadeem. Belize is incredible country with lots of beautiful places to visit. Also the people are very friendly. I did a lot of hitchhiking there and many friendly locals picked me up. Every country in the world has some bad areas, I could have done similar video in many other places also. As I mentioned in the beginning of the video, in Belize the gang violence concentrates mostly on the southern parts of the Belize City, which I explore in the video
Can't be worse then Kensington Pennsylvania
@@Mittenmade85maybe maybe not. Central American is pretty crazy. Like chop chop limps crazy
Subscribed. Thank you
Thanks! Welcome aboard 💪
Stay safe out there brother
Trying my best always 😁
The thing is Belize does have a problem with gangs especially in that area; i.e. it's where i live...but not so much murder's. Belize is not as dangerous as he makes it seem.People just do your research and maybe find someone who will actually tell the truth and be more accurate.
Here's the latest statistics I used. Unfortunately Belize has the fifth highest murder rate in the world. You can start your research here. www.statista.com/statistics/262963/ranking-the-20-countries-with-the-most-murders-per-100-000-inhabitants/
Obviously Belize has a murder rate, but I am a resident here.
@@LittleshamelessViking bro the only reason it appears that way is because the population is small. Every other country around us people die far more than in Belize and some are just not recorded. We don’t even have kidnappings like that. I live in that same area you visited for 8 years and haven’t been robbed and I’m of clear complexion. You just gotta move smart like anywhere else you go. Belize is relatively safe for anyone to visit as long as you don’t flex your belongings.
It’s such a shame that the locals would exaggerate certain things. Not saying that it’s not a hot zone but I used to walk that very street every single day to go catch the city bus to go to school and not once have I felt unsafe or been robbed or bothered. And the subtitle in the beginning is wrong. That young man did not say he was going to do coke. He said “I am going up here to the laundry to do clothes.” Evidenced by the laundromat shown less than 2 minutes later
Los Angeles culture took over a lot of different places outside America
Somebody doesn’t watch the news 😂
I hope you compensated that man for not only looking out for you, but giving you a good tour.
Nice video well done
Stay safe and God bless you all.🙏.
The real matatan.🤔.
Thank you!
Nice to see different neighborhoods…Gangsters street ..
I also like to see different neighborhoods when visiting new countries. Trying to get out of typical tourist zones
@@LittleshamelessViking That’s absolutely perfect idea …Nice video ..
@@lordm.a114 Thanks!
After the Finnegan market you should have tried the best and cheapest fry chicken in Belize kickdown fence fry chicken. I live in Belmopan but when I go to the city trust me I must get my kickdown fence chicken
They even got bloods chrips in Belize smh 🤦♀️ wow that’s crazy
It's not brazy gangs expand all the time
personally i live in belize and yes there are some dangerous places but it is usually safe and a beautiful country
Save for past 10pm 😂
How was your soup. And I never ask people where to go or where not to go in Belize city but you do a good job.
Soup was amazing
The og is a life saver bro
Did you shoot this on a DJI Pocket 2?
Nope. I'm using Sony FDR-X3000
I'm tired of people saying it has one of the highest murder rates, ofc it will, to make the rate you need to use the average population. The population in Belize hasn't even passed half a million so ofc it will sound higher, I'm pretty sure America has more deaths and murders per week than Belize but because of America's population size it looks like a small murder rate, for instance; 1/2 = 50%. While 5/15 = 33.3%, do you see what I'm saying? It's not as bad as people say it is.
Yes, that's the meaning of murder rate. It's the amount of homicides compared to 100 000 inhabitants, not the total amount. Surely countries with larger population have higher total amount of murders. Still there are countries with smaller population that have lower murder rate.
So many of these UA-camrs are incredibly naíve to do things like this, líve in those areas and you’d have a lot more respect for how dangerøus they really are. By the time these UA-camrs figure that out they will be in the hospital (or cemetery).

@7:54 you need to fix your translation he did not say he going to do coke he said he is going to laundry some clothes smh.
BELIZE is a beautiful country. We aren't perfect. Yes we have bad/criminal elements. But as long as you avoid walking alone on these poverty stricken areas you should enjoy your stay here. The violence Usually tends to stay within their own gang circles ..rarely it spills over into our more peaceful communities.
I agree. Everywhere else in Belize I felt totally safe. Beautiful country
I am 15 years old I always walk that area every morning for school
Bet you're not white though.. lol being white makes a HUGE difference.
This is that bloke's hustle - anyone who reminds you 50 times that he 'saved' you from certain death is working an angle...I get it, everyone needs a hustle. Clearly a tough area, clearly dangerous, but I am always extremely wary of strangers bearing unsolicited gifts and/or assistance...even in so called 'good areas'...as in prison, as in life - if it's offered immediately upon meeting you, it sure ain't free and you probably don't need it.
He was going up gorge street. My mom lived there. We used to go to Belize city all the time. We’ve been followed. My mom was cornered. Many tourists have been killed. He truly saved that man’s life. Round there they see foreigners as easy targets. No connections in Belize no citizenship, easy money, months till they even find y’all. When my mom goes to Belize city she pays a cop to go with her. We have a beautiful country but don’t fuck around. Every day someone gets shot. Affiliated persons and innocent persons. They just shot a boy ordering fried chicken. A young boy.
I was in Belize city over 10nyears ago, I also ventured into the city, it sort of remind me of what LA Ceiba Honduras used to look back in The early 80's, shame they took on the US street gang culture as the rest of Central America, love their food and Belkin of course.
They definitely have great food and for sure Belikin! 🍻
Alot of black Belizean Americans from LA took the whole Blood/Crip thing back to Belize
@@imdominican..blacksworship892 a lot of blacc American went out there and started that crip and blood culture just like Toronto we have a strong hold on a
@@losangelesca5470 black Americans don't immigrate to poor countries on a large scale basis, much less hood dudes... It was black Belizeans who were living in LA and were involved in the gang culture out there, then later got deported and bought it back with them
@@imdominican..blacksworship892 and you Dominican you're not even from Belize so why you even speaking on the culture and you're not even from LA so why you even speaking on the LA culture you need to keep your mouth closed you know nothing about nothing
Am i the only belizean watching this guy vids?
If drinking game was take a sip every time he says “yeah,yeah’ everyone would be puking 😂
I'll join the game. Do I need to take a sip also if I'm saying that a couple of times more while watching? 🤣
Your looking in the inside, in the outside its a beautiful place with many to explore. I am from Belize, wheather its dangerous or no, it is still my home
Nice vlog great info.
-we are Niki and raj
Thanks!
Every area has certain streets you need to avoid as a tourist and citizen. For this guy to be Tour Guide he's very unprofessional and negative. It's ok to be filled in with information to ascertain one's safety but not in the way he did. Belize is a beautiful country and there is a lot of exploring to do my friend. Visit the country on the weekdays where it'll be more populated. And next time, try taking a tour with someone who has a valid tour guide license and has more knowledge. You can find one at the Fort Street Tourist Village. Hope to see another video of Belize soon.
BELIZE is not a dangerous is like any other country who have areas and individuals who willing to take advantage of others. Nevertheless you will encounter and have people who are humble kind and caring and willing to share our culture and life style to anyone who coming to visit our lovely country which is majority. If you in the west side of the country san ignacio willing to show u around the villages outskirt of the town. Bless keep enjoying beautiful belize.
That's true. Most of Belize is calm and peaceful. The reason for sad statistics is mostly the area in southern Belize City, where gangs live. Outside of that area, there's no problem
Viking is just another word for pirate, so basically the OG in Belize was giving the pirate a tour 🤣
This is a black eye for our country, but once you ain't caught up in shit I don't see you being in danger. ✊🏼
I hope thean giving the tour is safe and you not only got information but reached out to him to help his face is on camera he will have to go back to those neighbourhood and you will fly home.

U lucky u meet that guy . U would have been robbed ! But Welcome to Belize tho
Thank you! Great guy and a lot of information
dude was giving up wayyyyyyy tooo much information and speaking on things he dont know about. he better be carefull that the govt he speaking about so carelessly dont make him disappear . ijs
Ok Ok thank you for that but to all the viewers, please do your own research. Every-time I see these sort of vlog of my country 'THE BAD SIDE' you always have some sort of guide hustler that will tell you exactly what you want to hear because you told them that you are looking for the bad side or the bad and dangerous part of my country. They won't disappoint because if they do, it will be no pay day. When I go to abroad, I as a tourist, will not venture in known criminal areas, and this is all over the world. What is not said is that very very rear the criminal elements reach out to tourist, i'm not saying it doesn't but Im saying it is very rear and really before you come you would book and information will be given. Also, these criminal elements in the bad area is isolated amounts themselves and their little hoods. Thanks again and I will shear this story with the Tourist Board.
I told him I was looking for a cow foot soup and he didn't disappoint
earnest, you are right, I bought a place in hopkins and all I can say is I have never met such nice people. can't wait to get back.
@@LittleshamelessViking That is true and was not targeting you just the wider tubers in general. Marvas cooks well, I often get my traditional Sunday dinner (Rice and Beans,
Stew chicken and Potato Salad) from her when not feeling like doing my chef thing.
Just got back from a lovely trip to San Pedro. Found the people were friendly and helpful. The food was awesome but expensive. Only got scammed buying gas at the gas station near the airport refilling our golf cart. Would return again.
Sounds like an amazing trip!
Always talk to a old guy in Belize because there a old timer they know the people from the gangs since kids and they see you with them you ain't finna get messed with and there's a very small chance there in a gang but always say your with someone or going to someone just in case
Belize will always be my favorite home God bless our country
i lived in santo domingo ,DR for 25 years.....there are some danger places
I've not visited Santo Domingo yet, maybe in the future
Well I live in detroit. And This looks looks beautiful
I may need to visit Detroit next time
Play at ur own risk fam
All the people saying it was bad were manifesting negativity to that area, life is what you project, I’ve lived in the most inhospitable places in Africa and it was perfectly fine, I felt more safe than I do in the “safest” parts of London, the real criminals live in millionaire mansions.
I grew up in Belize I drove delivery truck there for a while seems like most parts are safe as long as you don't mess with wrong people
i wish you would have asked him, what kind of industry he was in or would like to be in .. also what would it take for the gangs to switch to another legit industry. .in other words, if they sleft to the the US, what kind of work (or education) would he want to get into? what kind of skills/education is needed in Belize. .in the city and inland?
Belize is like going back into time

Belize is not Dangerous as Depicted. Everywhere has its share of Rif Raffs. Belize is in the Heart of central America, has many Beautiful Natural resources, highly educated and well informed people and planned tours for all,
Murderation and danger is very much exaggerated with the old dude as he was making the videographer feel the need to TIP him.
It's only dangerous if you're a yuppy American with zero street smarts
Brothers killing Brothers just not good,violence,gangsterism just not good,...great video on #Belize
Viking dude stay safe ok 👍. You in dem gritty streets of Belize. Hopefully that good brotha will protect you in the hood. Watch your vlog from Europe.
Trying my best to stay safe. But what wouldn't a man risk for a good cow foot soup 😁
When I go around these places there usually quit and no noise
My grandpa was born Guatemala then moved to Belize he said it was nothing like this when he was younger.
Most of Belize is still really safe. Just some spots in Belize City that are sketchy.

Next time you decide to exploit a poor black man and compromise his safety for the purpose of views and likes, at least buy him some food whenever you eating ok sir. It's highly unethical and doesn't reflect you in the correct light !!!
Not sure if he wanted anything,he got him a beer
Think he enjoyed the money more.
If that was the guy from Africa he would have
Helped him fix his car
Wow, shocking
These traveling UA-camrs will learn one day
My plan is to relocate to Belize and start some business ventures there. My concern is safety. Can Belize be more dangerous than my country, South Africa???
I can only answer from traveler's perspective as I haven't tried to establish a business there. For me Belize felt really safe in most parts, much safer than any other Central American country. The reason for sad statistics is the neighborhood in the southern parts of Belize City where gangs live. When staying out of that area, everything should be fine
@@LittleshamelessViking preferably I am eyeing the deep rural of the rural (with no infrastructure whatsoever) part of Belize to set up a Sugarcane and Nut farming. Luckily such areas are in the north western part of Belize, closer to the Mexico. Anyway, I will be there in February 2023 to scout out the land to buy and if possible I will buy.
Further, I am of the view that South Africa is more dangerous than Belize. Nigeria is worst!!!!! I have travelled other countries, and honestly most are super safe. Even Angola, I could travel into the heart of bloodthirsty areas but I was fine, despite not knowing Portuguese.
America is worst. Just observe the list of serial killers there, as well as senseless killings. No, thanks USA is worst than Belize. Even Afghanistan is way better in terms of safety. But Belize (I stand to be corrected) seems a piece of cake. Not dangerous at all. If you can be guided by the local, then it's safe. In SA your guide might lead you astray but there are good people as well.
Poor dude there’s three or four killings per day in his neighborhood and he feels like he has to wear a mask to stay safe..
Yea very beautiful and cheap for all the tourist but thank God the locals are still getting by God bless
