| XXL Beer | | To make time pass quicker I traveled to Hamburg last weekend where my husband's new employer is located. He had been there since one week.

| The Art of Waiting | | Sigh!Can you imagine, after the rush of packing, selling, throwing and giving away all our stuff in Belize, canceling all contracts and contacts, saying goodbye to all our wonderful friends, all in ONE BLOODY week, we are now still waiting to depart! Our new job was supposed to start June first. Leer nota completa | | Publicado 10-Jun-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| To Pack or Not to Pack? | | We have come to my least favorite part of our stay in Belize: packing up. I have done this already many times in my life so it's no big deal but still.Packing means taking some really tough decisions and therefor [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 20-May-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| The Best of Both Worlds | | We're back in Belize. That is, me and my daughter only, because Michel and his son Antoine are stuck in Miami since last Friday as a result of this ´phantom´ash cloud; who could ever have thought of a scenario like that? They were scheduled to fly back to Europe last week, Antoine had to start school again after Easter break, and Michel had to go back to see his mom and have business meetings that will determine our future. After five extra days in five different hotels in Miami Beach, suddenly South Beach is not so attractive anymore, very expensive. Guess who has to pay for it Leer nota completa | | Publicado 19-May-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Rainforest Remedies | | A few weeks ago I went to a meeting of the Belmopan International Women's Group. There was a guest lecturer by the name of Rosita Arvigo, an American doctor of naprapathy (yes, we learn something new every day), which is form of chiropractic, those doctors who crack bones or something.I was [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 19-May-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Bye Bye Belize... | | All good things come to an end. All not-so-good things too - I believe, but that's not what I wanted to talk about. It is true, our stint here in Belmopan has come to an end. We are leaving by the end of this week. So let me take some time to summarize our one-and-a-half year stay in this beautiful country.What I will miss: Leer nota completa | | Publicado 17-May-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Star Treatment | | Hey, what is happening to our poor car? Well, no need to feel bad for it (or like the French say: for 'her' - a car is female). She is actually getting a star treatment! It's one of those things that I never knew [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 06-May-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Funky Town | | I remember my first time like it was yesterday. It was actually a few years ago, at the time I was living in Trinidad, and it was love at first sight. My first stay at South Beach, or SoBe, impressed me enough to mark the start of [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 07-Apr-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| And Suddenly... | | ...we're in the cold. It's hard to believe but we just traveled 20 hours to be plummeted back from 32 to 2°C. Two days ago we were swimming in the Macal River, it was at the same spot where just a week before more than 80 canoes passed on for La Ruta Maya River Challenge, the four-days, 175-miles long grueling paddling event for which Belize is famous.Now we are in gray Belgium where the trees are not yet showing even a speck of green, where everyone is wearing long, dark coats and matching facial expressions. We're back to scarves, staticky hair, sniffles and lots of lip balm. We [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 28-Mar-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Spoke Wound | | Some words are simply untranslatable. Is that even a word? Untranslatable because the original word is so embedded in a certain context or culture that a literal translation would completely lose its meaning. The Dutch word 'spaakwond' is one of those, and to be honest, I'd never heard of it myself until 5 days ago. Literally it would be 'spoke wound'. Does that mean anything to you native English speakers? Leer nota completa | | Publicado 28-Mar-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Women's Month | | I have lived in quite a few countries but in none before is International Women?s day, on March 8, receiving so much attention as here in Belize. Not only do we celebrate on Women?s Day, the entire month of March is dedicated to women. There are activities ranging from free self-defense training to forums on Crime and Violence; from a 15% discount for women at the hardware store to Women in Art exhibitions. The women?s month kicked off with the first-ever US Embassy Belize Women of the Year 2010 award ceremony. When political officer Kelly McCarthy received a request last year to n [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 09-Mar-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General

| Green Costa Rica | | Costa Rica has been on my wish list for a long time. It just sounds so lovely, especially if your roll the R a little extra.Two weeks ago we traveled to this amazing country for an 8-day holiday from Belize, with nothing more than a borrowed Lonely Planet guide book. Two easy one-hour TACA airline flights later (Wow, talk about service ? TACA can teach a thing or two to American Airlines), we landed at Juan Santamaria Airport in San Jose. There we rented a small 4x4 car with a child seat and a GPS ? the latter turned out to be worth every one of its 12 dollars a day ? followed the [..] Leer nota completa | | Publicado 03-Mar-2010 por svanlieshout@yahoo.com (Dutch en General
