I will concur that I have not witnessed March here yet, and do realise that the Easter break is the first real family vacation following Christmas.
I have found some good value in AC, and buying fresh chicken, shrimp and fresh produce, and cooking myself.....and this is terrific value!
This island is SOO beautiful (in most parts) and I just find it quite sad that it could lose it's unique paradise appeal if getting here, and truly spending time here, becomes too expensive for most (in the current economic climate).
I personally think that the government of Belize should be doing more. Everything seems to be taxed here! A legacy of British rule I suppose......and I say that being British ;-p
I wish I had figured it all out.........
I commented that I "personally" think the government should be doing more to help Belize combat the 'recession depression'. As someone new to AC I am sharing my views and thoughts, and asking questions. I may only have been here a short while, but I too, have fallen for many of AC's great features and assets and enjoy 'island life'......otherwise I would not still be here.
One of the things I like most about AC is just how friendly everyone is, I have not been in a place where so many people smile all the time.
It is such a shame that some folks here take certain comments out of context, and resort to making petty negative statements, rather than engaging with a thread posed to interrogate serious questions about the impact of the global recession and governmental politics!!
