Safety and Stability by gsreimers
My wife and I have been to Ambergris Caye Belize several times and are considering it for a possible 6 month out of the year retirement spot in a few years. I have been looking at Roatan as a possible alternative but haven't done a lot of ...
That may be the case, (not having residency), but I would not risk purchasing property without having residency. You have little backing, if there is ever a legal problem. Read More

The majority of those thousands of Hondurans on the southern border think that they will receive welfare checks. La Prensa reports homicides are at 43/100,000, which is down considerably from 86/100,000. Honduras is Honduras, so if you want to ... Read More
Prostitution by Nelson84
I was down in Honduras looking for a place to buy and I must have been in the wrong part of le ceiba cause the prostitues wouldn’t leave me alone. Maybe I looked like a rich American.
Do not hold your breath! Honduras actually has come a long way, but yes it is filthy in many areas. (A culture that is not bothered by filth)!!Political strife and violence, (caused by punk thugs), does nothing to increase investment. Capital is ... Read More

Put it all together! A depressed economy, a culture that has always accepted prostitution, and modern norms and values that lead to this behavior. I am not condoning it. I believe that prostitution is not good for society or the health of those ... Read More

That sounds nice anyway because prostitutes usually stay out all night and they sleep during the day. Not to say that there are not nice people going to church on a Sunday morning, however what about Monday through Sunday nights? Remember also that ... Read More

You will find out how you feel here! Be careful please. I do not want to frighten you, but security is an issue. Do not go to isolated places, (including the beach), alone. Make sure that your house is secure and that you drink lots of water. Buy ... Read More

Is there any evidence of that? I really do not know as I return home early and truly have no idea! Read More

Legal Weapon by woodrowdunn
I would like all Americans know that I had my legal weapon and permit confiscated from the police.** Please be advised about this. The weapon was purchased from a government store and I had a legal permit to carry it. I was completely sober and ...
This is a national law, so it can be enforced anywhere in Honduras. The kicker is to purchase another weapon even requires on top of everything else a letter from INTERPOL. Read More
