Belize used to be called British Honduras. Where is it?
South of Mexico, says my Belizian friend Edward, President of Singapore International Dynamic toastmasters club, which is online every Friday, at 9.30 Singapore time..
Wiki says it succinctly.
British Honduras was a British Crown colony on the east coast of Central America, south of Mexico, from 1783 to 1964, then a self-governing colony, renamed Belize in June 1973,[2] until September 1981, when it gained full independence as Belize. British Honduras was the last continental possession of the United Kingdom in the Americas.
Rum Popo, the traditional rum drink, popular for Xmas. Brand Don Marco.
The Belizians, inheriting British traditions, keep up the Xmas decorations until 12th night, like in the UK.
A typical breakfast includes egg and fruit.
A typical main meal consists of chicken, rice and beans.
Alcoholic drinks include rum based cocktails
Honduras
Honduras means depths in the Spanish language. Christopher Columbus supposedly said he was glad to be out of the depths. (Deep water?)
Honduras is a country in Central America. It may also refer to:
- Honduras, Indiana, United States
- Honduras, Barranquitas, Puerto Rico
- Honduras, Cidra, Puerto Rico
- British Honduras, the previous name of Belize
- Central America
- As you can see from the guide below, Belize and Honduras are both in Central America and are two different countries.
