The confusing thing about the article was that the writer used people like Lara, who live in San Pedro as example, and the photos definitely look like Ambergris Caye. The numbers they state don't work though for AC, but the reader doesn't know it. Those are definitely Corozal prices. As an example, I went into a Chinese restaurant in Corozal with a friend last week and ordered a chicken chow mein for $3 U.S. The same dish would be $6-8 U.S. on Caye Caulker for a smaller portion. So, it really is possible for 2 people (who don't drink or go out to eat much, or live on AC or CC) to live in Belize for $1500 U.S., but most of us spend way more for the lifestyle. I don't think most people who say they are clamouring to get here are really really ready to live in the 3rd world. They might think they are, but the reality of it is not as glamorous as the photos show.
