Belizeisms part 1

• When it is dark out the correct greeting is "Good Night"; when you arrive at a friends at say 7pm you say "Good Night, how are you?". It's caught me off guard a few times
• They actually use "over yonder" as in "Go find Jamal, he is playing over yonder"
• A 25cent coin is a Schilling 
• All children under the age of 7ish are referred to as "Babies"
• They eat oranges, grapefruit and plums with seasoning salt (it's delicious)
• Riding in the back of pickups, hitchiking, babies riding on the handle bars of bikes, are all totally normal
• Buying food from someone on a bike with a bucket is awesome
• You don't eat your soup from a bowl you eat it from a dish
• A tortilla is an appropriate utensil for most foods
• A machete or weedwacker are ways to cut your lawn (no such thing as a lawn mower)
• When a child is talking to you they use "Miss" excessively. "Excuse me Miss, what is for lunch Miss?" response "Thanks Miss"

Many more to come, just learning.
When I come home please don't make fun of me for saying "over yonder" or for cutting the lawn with my machete.
Good Night (ok, I didnt use it correctly)
