so, i'm a couple days late, but thought i'd express my best wishes nonetheless. on September 21st, Belize turned 26! September is a big month for celebrations around here, beginning on the 10th, with St. George's Caye Day, commemorating the defeat of Spanish troops by the Baymen on St. George's Caye. the month is marked by parades, block parties, concerts, copious football (read soccer) games, and for some reason, beauty pageants galore. the latter seem to be a year-round form of entertainment here, as well as one of the country's preferred fundraising methods. football, beauty pageants and karaoke are the Belizean golden entertainment trifecta. who woulda thunk it?

Well, I just checked out the Kriol dictionary. It has to be fun to listen to. We listened to Tak Pisin in class the other day, and after a lot of thought, we kind of figured out the gist of the story. It's interesting that the rules are so consistent among most creoles. I'd think if you learned one, it would be fairly easy to understand several. Enjoy!
