"Expats in Belize City often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not the primary language spoken in Belize. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life in Belize City to be slower than what they are used to, as well as the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure," wrote a member who made the move to Belize City, Belize.
