If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.
Always travel to Belize first before you move here. Never try to make Belize just like it was for you back home... just accept Belize for what it is and enjoy it. It's an emerging third world country.... not the USA, so keep your expectations in check and go with the flow.
