Belize First magazine... Offers everything from lists of recommended hotels and offbeat news tidbits (my favorite section) to articles on retirement, camping, cheap living, Belizean laws and customs, real estate listings, fishing, road conditions, history ... doesn't put an automatic happy-face on topics such as crime and cultural conflicts. If you have more than a passing interest in this unique Central American country, read Belize First."
