"....Belizean oligarchs will share in your pecking order."

It's all greek to me.

Seriously, I understood it also.

I think I get what Timmy meant in that odd sentence, though I'm not convinced they "share". And my perception is that the rest of his post was pretty much spot on too.

Thx, Chloe.

They visit Caye Caulker. You can Belize dat but true no biggie there.

Tank you Islenutt. Simple to enjoy here with expectation in what you look to find.

Seashell be happy here. Everybody share a lil piece and some share more from others than others. Nothing sinister but it is just the way it is for true. No one want to be a gainer just make sure no one be the one to lose. Many groups be happy here and welcome but know it can take a while for some expat to be happy. Most do not stay and are not happy with things they simply cannot change because they came for wrong reasons.

Try 8 !

So, really there are more than three groups (tourist,gringo,well adjusted ex-pat).
And, with regard to gringo, it seems that the meaning of gringo here has become like the "Another Gringo in Belize" meaning. Someone who wants to run a scam and take away from people and the country. It doesn't mean that everywhere.
So, just like any community, it is complicated. But, the best is when everyone is caring for each other and respecting each other. And it's best in a small community if people aren't selfish or exclusionary.

Timmy, I would have sworn I was agreeing with you.
