You will find one of the best scuba diving sites in the world in Mexico. You can go diving in the Mexican Caribbean, in the state of Quintana Roo, which has the second largest barrier reef in the world, second only to the barrier reef in Australia. Diving in Quintana Roo is among the best in the world. I have done some diving in the Great Barrier Reef. I also had an opportunity to dive in the Red Sea, and I have done some diving here in Mexico.

You will find one of the best scuba diving sites in the world in Mexico. You can go diving in the Mexican Caribbean, in the state of Quintana Roo, which has the second largest barrier reef in the world, second only to the barrier reef in Australia. Diving in Quintana Roo is among the best in the world. I have done some diving in the Great Barrier Reef. I also had an opportunity to dive in the Red Sea, and I have done some diving here in Mexico. Even though the diving here in Mexico is a bit different than diving in these other places that I mentioned, the diving in Mexico is unbelievable. There is a peculiarity in the Quintana Roo, especially in the season when the whale sharks go there. These whale sharks are usually 17 meters long (around 60 feet) and you can literally dive in the water and swim along with them. Even though whale sharks are big, they are very peaceful and friendly. Whale sharks do not have any teeth and they eat plankton so they are harmless to humans.
On the other side of Mexico, you have the Pacific Ocean, and in the Pacific, there are areas like Cabo San Lucas and several others that are great diving spots. If you want a more exciting adventure, you can find white sharks. White sharks are more popular in Cape Town and Australia but you can also find them here in Guadalupe. If you are going to see white sharks, obviously they are dangerous but when you do go, you’ll be going diving in cages so it’s not dangerous at all. All these trips are planned and manned by professionals. To go there, you have to fly to Baja, and from there, you will take a boat to Guadalupe.
You have to take into account that Mexico is fully surrounded by oceans so there are many diving sites here. It’s unbelievable. In general, if you are just going swimming, it’s rare that you will run into a shark in the waters.
In the state of Quintana Roo, in the Yucatan Peninsula, there are also some areas where you can go diving. You can go to the cenotes (underground rivers). You can also go cave diving or you can go diving in the cenotes. This area is one of the purest parts of the world where you can do this kind of diving activity. National Geographic and other scientists do a lot of exploration in Quintana Roo because they found mammoth remains inside the cenotes. They opened a new museum in this area, called the Museum of the Jungle. They placed replicas of mammoth remains and humans skulls, which are of those people who lived here in Yucatan millions of years ago. The Yucatan is very rich in culture and adventure.
What electrical current or voltage is used in Portugal? Will my electrical appliances work in Portugal?
Carol Bartlett Ribeiro - Carol Bartlett Ribeiro, Property Consultant
The voltage here in Portugal is the same as you have in the States, and unlike England where you have 3 plugs. You can take the hair drier you use in the US and plug it right into the wall in Portugal and it will work, whereas, if you take your hair drier from the US to Portugal, you will need an adapter.
Previously if you put a washing machine on and a hair dryer everything would blow up because the homes couldn’t accommodate too much of an...

Previously if you put a washing machine on and a hair dryer everything would blow up because the homes couldn’t accommodate too much of an electrical demand. Now it’s not like that because the electrical boards have been updated.
It’s taken a while for money to be in Portugal. Things that you have now are a lot more top range and sophisticated than it used to be.

If you want to start a business in Belize, my suggestion is that you first speak with a Belize lawyer. Let your lawyer walk you through the steps. Once he walks you through the steps, you can then decide which steps you can do on your own and which ones you might need legal or accounting help.
Getting a permit in Belmopan (the capital of Belize) would be the next step. Establishing residency would be part of owning the business as well.

If you want to start a business in Belize, my suggestion is that you first speak with a Belize lawyer. Let your lawyer walk you through the steps. Once he walks you through the steps, you can then decide which steps you can do on your own and which ones you might need legal or accounting help.

Starting a business is a process that I would first start by doing my own research online because once you start dealing with an attorney, you also start dealing with costs as well. Once you have the idea on how to start the business, I suggest consulting with an attorney because that way, you would be “crossing your t’s and dotting your I’s” since you would not want to be doing something that is not right.
Any country has its own protocol and rules that they want you to follow in opening up a business and they are not all the same. It is not difficult to start a business in Belize but at the same time, there is a process. My best recommendation is do your homework, and speak to an attorney you know or look for an attorney in Belize. Attorneys will generally give you an initial consultation for free before they start charging you. There are some very nice lawyers in Belize for you to work with.
Are there American-trained doctors in Granada, Nicaragua?
Paul Daemen - Aurora Granada
There are a few well trained Dentists in town of Granada, we also have some great Dr. like Dr. Blanco who is Cuban that provides excellent medical care at a fraction of US medical care. We have gone several times to Dr. Blanco and feel that the care we receive is excellent.

Given that our planned drive from Puebla to Orizaba was only a little more than three hours, that our combination Puebla hotel / restaurant / fraccionamiento was so pleasant, and that the restaurant had an all you can eat Mexican buffet breakfast, we saw no compelling reason to refuse the beautifully arranged food we found so temptingly arranged before us. Even in this upscale restaurant with impeccable service and sophisticated ambiance, they allowed us to dine...
Zaqueo hired a third friend of his from his home area named Chicalo. He was to be an “ayudante,” or assistant as they are called when they don’t have a specific trade. Chicalo had only one working eye. The other had been irreparably damaged by a bungee cord accident. I used to work with eye surgeons, and one of them told me, “Don’t EVER use bungee cords, and tell everyone you know they are very dangerous and to throw them out!” She had...
