FAQ's

I have gotten a couple of questions repeatedly as I talked about this trip, and I thought it would be nice to address them here.  Feel free to ask more questions by commenting on this entry!

Have you brushed up on your Spanish?
Thankfully, Belize is an English speaking country.  Formerly known as British Honduras, Belize was a territory owned by Britian.  Belize is home to many different cultures, but the official language is English!

I know someone who went on a vacation there.  Are you sure that Belize a third world country?
Yes, Belize is considered a third world country.  There are some areas that survive on tourism, but overall, the country is very poor.  The average annual income is less than $8000 Belizian Dollars... Which is (roughly) $4000 American Dollars.
