Guinea-Bissau

Another Guinea is at least one Guinea too many, if you ask me, so I'm just gonna blow through this real quick, okay? Guinea-Bissau used to be a Portuguese colony called Portuguese Guinea, but then they achieved independence and changed the name to Guinea-Bissau because Guinea was already taken and none of them had the gumption to come up with a new name. The capital is Bissau. That's where the Bissau part comes from.

This is what Bissau looks like when you are a bus.
