Bissau - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
It's very hardship duty-station. But you will still find something to do. There's a small expat community and two places to visit for the weekend. A cruise with mainly French tourists, leaving Friday and returning Monday morning is worth trying. It visits various Bijago islands and they are untouched and beautiful.
