Some people who posted in this thread ought to do a little research before they go on vacation.
1. Belize - is a 3rd world country - many people are POOR - this does not mean they are criminal. The government cannot afford western standards of repair and cleanliness as far as street maintenance etc goes. YOU WILL SEE POVERTY and the city will be dirty. THIS IS REALITY in a large part of the world. If you cannot handle that why are you cruising in the 3rd world?
2. RAINFORESTS are WET and MUDDY - that is why they are rainforests.
3. Zoos and nature preserves in this part of the world are doing fantastic species preservation work on minuscule budgets. They need any support they can get. Yes they are primitive. The whole country is primitive for heaven's sake.
4. Belize is a VERY poor country that has tried it's best to preserve incredible Mayan ruins, a diverse rainforest ecology system and an amazing ocean reef system. It's a pity some people are so incredibly ignorant of the rest of the world that they cannot appreciate what it has to offer.
