Bissau: Where the Heat Hits You Before You Even Land

when i first stepped off the plane in bissau, the air slapped me like i owed it money. 23.71°c but feels like 24.17°c, so basically the humidity's playing tricks on your skin. i just checked and it's muggy as hell there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. if you get bored, dakar and banjul are just a short drive away, though "short" here means "bring snacks and patience." someone told me that the best way to experience bissau is to wander until you're lost, then ask a local for directions-apparently that's how you end up at the best hidden spots. i heard that the markets near the port smell like a mix of fresh fish and ambition, and yeah, it's as intense as it sounds.
