Visas

"Belize - I will need a visa, Angela doesn't. A travel book she has looked at said that there's a way to get it at the border post in the Mexican town of Chetumul, but the embassy people I called said that the honorary consulate in that town no longer exists. I will have to apply beforehand at the embassy of Belize in Washington, DC. It costs $50 + shipping, they need 1 picture, a copy of the green card, and a bank statement. Why the hell do they all need to know how much money I make? ... Visa application sent in the mail March 2, 2007. Visa received March 13!."
This was an excerpt from "Run the Equator", The journal of two backbacking rats travelling in various ships on this and that side of the equator.
