 | Hitching... |    |  |

 |  on March 18, 2003 |
not that you'll run into too many other westerners in Guinea-Bissau. But if you do, it's pretty easy to hitch a ride with them...and probably the only mode of reliable (read safe) transport. This is Frank. I met him while he was waiting 2 weeks for a ferry to cross one of the rivers in Guinea-Bissau. Eventually he gave up and returned to Senegal and I got a ride back to the Casamance with him. |

ENGLISH - For those who are not familiar to these countries: taxis are supposed to be shared with other people who goes to the same direction than you (this is so in a lot of other countries, of course). If you do not want so, you must negotiate a special (higher) price. Warning: roads are not as well maintained as it looks like on this picture. - PORTUGUÊS - Para aqueles que não estão familiarizados com estas paragens: os táxis são supostos embarcar outras pessoas, que vão no mesmo sentido que nós (acontece o mesmo em muitos outros países, claro). Se não quisermos que isso aconteça, temos de negociar um preço especial (mais elevado). Atenção: as ruas não estão tão bem mantidas como parece nesta fotografia - FRANÇAIS - Pour ceux qui n'ont pas l'hbitude de ces régions: les taxis admettent d'autres passagers, à condition qu'ils aillent dans la même direction que nous (c'est comme ça dans beaucoup d'autres pays, évidemment). Si on ne veut pas que ce soit ainsi, il faut négotier un prix spécial (plus haut). Attention: les rues ne sont pas aussi bien entretenues que cela semble sur cette photo. |

This is about as organized as public transport gets in Bissau..a.t least when i was there right after the civil war. there were still rebuilding everything so things were in a state of chaos. |
