1.The sound track on the buses is definitely Reggae not classic 80's pop! (The favourite song seemed to be called 'Oh Lord, don´t let me cheat on my girlfriend')
2. You can buy Heinz Baked Beans in the supermarket.
3. Every meal comes with Coconut rice.
4. The night security guard at the hotel (in fact the only security guard I saw in 2 weeks) is armed with a torch and a stick, rather than a shot gun.
5. Wherever you go, you can hear Garifuna drumming
6. The bus driver asks you where you´re staying - and then drops you off at the door
7. The picture of the Queen on the Belize Dollar notes - is looking very young!
8. You wake up to the sound of the waves on the beach, rather than the buses sounding their horns.
9. Fish keep bumping into you in the sea
10. You´re confused about which language you´re supposed to be speaking (English, Spanish, Garifuna, a few Mayan languages...) and it appears that everyone is too.
11. Everything is 'all right'
And now for some photos
