Why God created smiling

I think that God created smiling, amongst other reasons, because the belizean people would not know what to do if he hadn't. they are most friendly and smiley people i think I've ever met. everybody says hello and generally has abroad grin on their faces. it's great. if you hadn't already guessed... i'm in belize. or to be more precise, a small island off the coast of belize called caye caulker. it's so beautiful and very relaxed. i plan to stay here another 4/5 days or so then take a stroll towards guatemala. I managed to meet a couple of lovely french canadians on the bus from chetumal on the mexican border to belize city. we found a guest house together as we arrived at night and by all accounts it is pretty dangerous to wander round on your own in the city. martin and valerie (the aforementioned travelling companions) also came to caye caulker but have found their own accommodation on the island. the island's so small that we didn't bother making specific arrangements to meet up as the likelihood of bumping into each other is very high. i highly, highly recommend coming here. everything about the place is amazing.
