"In Belize City, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and customs. It is important to dress modestly and to avoid making negative comments about the local culture or people. It is also important to be aware of local religious customs and to be respectful of religious sites. Additionally, it is important to be aware of local taboos and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be aware of local laws and to respect the local authorities," remarked another expat who made the move to Belize City, Belize.

"Not yet, but I am beginning to SWEAR a lot more, which I have never done in the past," explained one expat living in Belize City, Belize.
