I'm currently sat in the hospital library waiting for my consultant to arrive and tell me what I am doing for the next 5 weeks. The hospital looks pretty basic, but at least it has ceiling fans!! The weather is hot and humid, but inside the hospital it is quite cool.
I am staying with a lady called Sylvia who lives about 10 mins walk from the hospital in the safe part of town. As well as me and Will there are three guys from Sheffield medical school - I know one of them from Bilborough college! It doesn't look like we will be able to go out in the evenings, as it is not very safe, but we have a living room with a tv. We get breakfast and dinner at the house, all really nice food cooked by Sylvia.
Belize City is more run down than I had imagined it would be. Hurricanes have obviously caused lots of damage, which they haven't had the money to repair. There is a mixture of concrete houses and wooden houses on stilts. Many of the houses are run down and I think a lot of people live in poverty. There should be some interesting medicine though!

Josephine This guy is stupid, why did he come to Belize. If the country is so backward where this this cheap ass white idiot come to Belize. Did he pay for doing his elective in Belize, if he did pay, how much did he pay. I am sure if he did pay its one of the cheapest rate he has paid for getting a very good learning experience too.
