Expat hobbies by Julien
Hi everybody, What's your favourite hobby (appart from blogging ;))? Is there any kind of "local hobby" where you are? Well my favourite hobby (computers) is not very original, but I can say I like the petanque, you know that game we practise in ...
Thank you again, Christine! I'll do that today. Ron Read More
This site could have been so good BUT by cheekyarentyou
I don't think i'll be using this site any more. I have made a real effort but the confines are too extreme. I don't want to be computer-buddies with boring house wives and exchange local shopping tips. I have been to MANY countries and most have ...
I've spent time on numerous blogs -- most of them involved with areas of interest or hobbies. This site is as good as the best I've encountered. I can only imagine what it must take to pull together and maintain such a site; well, actually, I ... Read More

I had a dream and it was fulfilled. by BrainyBetty
When I was 16, I saw a National Geographic piece on the Blue Hole in Belize. I was charmed and immediately I made a goal to live in Belize when I was able. Now, here it it 30 years later and that dream has been actualized in part,and I couldn't be ...
It's a great testimony, BrainyBetty. I loved reading it and it encourages me. We'll be moving to Belize this coming fall, in time to get our daughter, Stephanie, enrolled in the upcoming school year. Thanks for the heart in your writing! Ron Read More
Qualified Retirement Program by razorblade
My wife and would like to soon apply for the QRP. We are now in Washington, DC area. From what I have found out so far is the process can not be completed through the Embassy. Can anyone who has successfully completed the process share their ...
Hi Sharon! Thank you for your quick reply and, especially, for your kind help. Do you know, Sharon, how much duties are on various items? Is it more for new than for used items? More for household than for ministry office equipment? And one ... Read More

I love photography, writing and outdoor acttivities -- especially hunting. I'm wondering if anyone on this blog has accurate information about hunting Belize as an expat? Linda and I are missionaries moving to Belize for long term ministry. We ... Read More
Photography is Art? by Albert Alsina
I would like to have different opinions about if photography can be considered an art, as painting is? If you thing it is, in which cases?
Photography is no more or less art than any other creative endeavor! I remodeled a home once and the new owner called my efforts a "work of art." Indeed, it was! I especially love photography and writing, though. In retrospect, some things I've ... Read More

Hi Sharon! Linda and I did finally find our way through the link you posted for the QRP. Thank you for that. We have a pretty good sense of what that program is all about. Where I am confused is in the options left to us should we decide not to ... Read More

Linda, three children and I are coming to Belize in the fall of 2011. I've been "listening" about the QRP program now for many months and I consistently get the impression that it may be more hassle than it is worth. We are just now beginning to ... Read More
