A quick post

The internet here is slow and expensive. (Actually, the poorer the country, the better the internet service, coz ppl use it instead of buying computers... interesting phenomena...). Anyway, I'm now in Belize city (missed a water taxi to the islands yesterday...). Actually it was fun, coz it turned out to be a holiday yesterday (They moved it a day earlier without notifying me... I was really lucky to get a visa). So, being a holiday, the city was relatively safe at night. Had a chat with a security guy from Nicaragua, that his cusin was trained by Ariel Sharon in 79-86 in Israel. He really admired Israel, and especially an Israeli gun called AKA (???), and thanked us for training the Nicaraguan army to fight the comunism in the 80s. (He himself faught communists and got shot in 4 places... A lucky guy). At the evening, they put outside a couple of large speakers. About a 1000 ppl - kids, parents, teenagers, (a muslim couple with a kid), all with really dark skin and rastaz (we were only 4 white ppl there) gathered and started to sing and dance Jamaica style. Soooo funny.
A couple of 6-8 years old sang
"We ain't too small to rap" (x79)
with a lot of creol gibberish in the middle.
A couple of poets rapped against the gvrmnt.
Then a thunderstorm and an electricity blackout just when we reached our hostel.
Real fun.
I'll get to the islands now... (should be more touristic over there).

Cheers,
Eitan.
