Advanced toilette graffiti - Chetumal

I like to document advanced and unusual toilette scribbling/graffiti.

I see art in toilettes that is significantly more interesting then many things I see in contemporary art museums. I took these photos in a Chetumal, a costal border town in between Mexico and Belize, a very peaceful place surrounded by mangroves, a place where the Mexican/Latin-American culture transitions in to something like *Afro-Caribbean culture (I guess that heavily over-simplifies the diverse culture of the area but you get the picture)...

_{Some dude "Dede" from Chetumal seems to have been here. There is also a small slightly more typographically advanced "piece" saying Cancun, under Cancun it say's "Cantina Roo" probably a slang term for "Quintana Roo" the the area where Cancun is located, (Cantina means bar in Spanish, might be a pun since that area is like one big "bar-street"). Possibly signed by "Fredo?"}

_{Some dude (mens bathroom) made this piece, maybe celebrating the artists home in Belize, but it could have a deeper spiritual or political meaning that is hidden from the uninitiated, "Said Mosa" is scribbled next to the house in the picture, probably referring to Said Musa, a famous Belizean politician, who started out as a kind of human rights lawyer and a man of the people, but in his later years was accused of corruption, not unlike many other politicians...}

_{I took this photo down by the peaceful mangrove covered coastline...}

*Belize is actually one of the most genetically diverse places on Earth, British influence, Afro-Caribbean, Garifuna, Hindu/Indian, Chinese, Mayan, Latin American, just imagine Belizean food, it's a true culinary marvel! (but more on that in an other article).
