the machete

Fun Fact #4: They carry machetes with them everywhere. It is 100% normal to see men strolling down the street carrying a gigantic, Arabian sword sized knife as they go about their daily business. The machete is the tool of choice for almost all outdoor chores, so why not carry it around like the everyday asset it is? In fact, even prisoners carry machetes in and around the jail as they cut the grass and maintain the land around the facility. It probably wouldn't fly in the states, but the machete is a way of life for Belizeans and is as common in the country as the iPhone.
