Best Places In The World To Retire

There are different traditional foods around Mexico. For example, the traditional food in Guadalajara is torta ahogada, which is bread with pork meat and extremely hot sauce. Mexicans love to have torta ahogada the following day after overdrinking at a party. Torta ahogada is a really traditional meal in the morning for people who party.

Tacos are another kind of traditional food in Mexico. You can find a taco place in almost every few blocks, and these taco places are all clean, serving cheap and delicious tacos. Exotic tacos are sometimes served with pork tongue, brains, and kidneys, but you can also have just regular chicken and pork in it.

 

Varieties of tacos include the soft taco, corn tortilla, or flower, but most of the tacos in Mexico are not sold with flower tortillas. In Mexico, corn tortilla is very common. In the United States, we would call a taco cooked in oil dorado, or a hard taco.

 

 

Tacos dorados is also very common in Mexico. You can get tacos dorados in the same place where you get torta ahogada, which is essentially the same except that it’s deep fried. Instead of meat, tacos dorados can be presented with frijoles (beans), or potatoes or traditional meats. When you deep-fry them, they become crispy tacos. In tacos dorados, “dorado” means “stiff” or “hard.” 

 

Another traditional dish in Mexico is pastor, which is meat cooked with burnt pineapple on top. Pastor is really delicious. In Puebla, which is near Mexico City, there’s a traditional dish called chile en nogada, which is chili filled up with cheese and they put mole on top.  And there are different types of moles. They also put granada (pomegranate) placed on top of chile en nogada.

I would describe the golf around Corozal as not good at all. I love to golf. I golfed two or three times a week in Canada for the last several years I was there.

 

In contrast, there are only two golf courses in the country of Belize. There’s one in Belmopan, which I played on that’s run by a South African guy who’s lived here forever. It’s nine hole and decent. It’s a place to hit the ball. The ground’s hard. They...

In contrast, there are only two golf courses in the country of Belize. There’s one in Belmopan, which I played on that’s run by a South African guy who’s lived here forever. It’s nine hole and decent. It’s a place to hit the ball. The ground’s hard. They don’t have the financing to put the necessary maintenance that’s needed for a golf course to be really good. There are no lush greens and no well-groomed sand traps and the divots aren’t fixed. The ground is hard here. 

 

Belmopan is a good distance from Corozal, about two and a half hours. There is a course at Consejo Shores, which is another retirement village here in the Corozal District. It’s a nine-hole course that’s placed sort of in the center of a community. Again, you won’t be seeing the PGA there, that’s for sure.

The government of Portugal is very stable. Portugal has had the longest period to form a government of any government post the revolution in 1974. We currently have a slightly left of center socialist government, which took over from a slightly conservative government.

 

The government of Portugal is generally stable, although it may change partly left or slightly right of center. The politics as such doesn’t change significantly. There is still very much a central block of political view, opinion, and political management. We have had a lot of strikes but they do not tend to impact the economy much. The number of political parties has remained reasonably stable for the last 40 years. For the first time in many years, we have a new political party in parliament with one seat. Generally, politics is characterized by boring political stability.
