Peninsula) to tour Mayan ruins. While on the bus traveling the 2 hours to our Mayan ruin site, I got to see A LOT of the country side. Now, this is a jungle where the ground is like a sponge (think of those green foamy things you press flowers into...that's the ground in Belize). For this reason, the houses are mostly on stilts with a retractable stair access. THe stilts are deep in the ground to avoid slippage during the rainy season, thus they are practically indestructible. This puts you at quite an advantage to be ABOVE the zombies (this is when you'd want a shotgun, though, so you could pick them off easily). Second thing about Belize, all Belize houses have bars on their windows. I asked about this and it is apparently due to the high crime rate, but regardless, good thick bars on the windows is an advantage in a zombie attack. Third, natural predators. There are vultures and crocodiles galore in this country, ready to sink their beaks into the eye sockets of any undead traveler. And fourth, and this is the biggie, because Belize is such an impoverished country, most Belise homes are self-sustaining farms with produce growing year-round and livestock - just enough to keep a family going for a full year and then over again. They also don't have acid rain yet, so the rain water (and there is a LOT of rain water) is safe to drink). Voila! Belize has been voted the safest city in which to live during a zombie attack. So...you might think about moving.
