Answering the questions asked:
1. What does garifuna sound like: different, very different. cant really give you much more than that. sorry, but its cool.
2. Can I understand Kriol: I can catch a few words, but seriously, its a whole 'nother language.
3. Can I get chinese food: The number of chinese places here is awesome. I have gotten chinese three different times.
4. How is the local cuisine: Pathetic and devoid of protein.
5. As far as logistics go: My classes have been in the main peace corps building, which happens to have wireless internet. When I move to my training village (that has like 3,000 people) I'm guessing the internet situation will be different.
6. The last pic is on the hummingbird highway, I dont know what the building is, but if you look behind the building you can see what is called "the sleeping giant" (a man's face looking up at the sky) its pretty sweet huh? and beautiful.
Side note: does anyone know if my parents and brother are reading this? Tell em to post something!
From Kriol Kountry :)

just wanted to say... "heck yes" on the chinese food. no rice and beans for you, mister.
hi jake! That's exciting that you know your language and location! I'm sorry it wasn't garifuna like you hoped but it sounds like you're ok with that. I looked up Independence- can't believe you'll be right next to the best beach in Belize! I mean, come on!! have you found any mountains to climb yet?
More later..busy day. I will harass the rents and josh about this. I'm sure they're reading but you have to have a gmail acct to post. You know how they are....thinking of you always! Bridget
