[[File:Bissau4.jpg|thumb|left|[[Bissau]] city]]'''Guinea-Bissau''' is a country in [[Western Africa]]. The official language is Portuguese, but most people speak Criolu, a mix of Portuguese, indigenous languages and some French and Portuguese Creole. It is a small , poor country wedged between [[Senegal]] to the north, [[Guinea]] to the south and the Atlantic to the west. The capital is [[Bissau]], by the mouth of the river Gêba. A small city with a lively fisherman's market by the water. European bank cards rarely work (and if so, only Visa) so make sure you make a withdrawal with what you need in Senegal before crossing the border to Guinea-Bissau. People in Guinea-Bissau are poor, but very friendly and welcoming of strangers.
The capital is [[For finding rides in Bissau]], by the mouth of the river Geba. A small city with a lively fisherman's market by the water. European bank cards rarely work so make sure you make a withdrawal with what you need in Senegal before crossing the border to Guinea-Bissau. Pensao Pensão Creol is the best place for finding rides beforehand. Many European drivers with cars to sell stop there before heading further south or towards the east eastern part of the country. Outside of the capital, some roads are easily hitcheable and some are not at all. The main roads are fairly well trafficked between the capital and Ziguinchor in Senegal, Buba in the South and around Bissau and Gabu in the East are great to hitch on as there is lots of NGO jeeps with aircon which will willingly pick you up - just get out of town to find the traffic that is actually going somewhere. Other roads leading to like between Enxude (across the capital Rio Gêba from Senegal the Bissau) and Guinea, rides Buba or east from Gabu towards the Guinean border are usually easy pretty much impossible to come by though some hitch unless you have a lot of time and make friends with the customs officers along the road who will ask sometimes persuade (read force) drivers to pick you to share gasoline costsup.
