**Rio Cacheu, Ginnea Bissau and Oshkosh,Wisconsin **
===**Rio Cacheu, Ginnea Bissau and Wisconsin, Oshkosh aren’t really the same. Oshkosh has great education and Rio Cacheu … not so much. Oshkosh has 16 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 6 charter schools. Oshkosh has the 3rd biggest University in the STATE! Rio Cacheu doesn’t really have famous things like Oshkosh’s Brew or their famous clothing company. Except for Rio Cacheu’s MAJOR drug trade! Oshkosh was never a major trading city. **=== ===**Oshkosh is always less violent than Rio Cacheu. Oshkosh is 24 sq. miles but the thousands of people that live there never had child labor on their kids! Rio Cacheu CHILDREN are in WAR. It is not as cool as you think. In the U.S that is against the law. **=== ===**Oshkosh is far far away from Ginnea Bissau, the coordinates are 44 degrees north and 88 degrees west. Ginnea Bissau is 11 degrees north and 15 degrees west. See how far they are now? Oshkosh is about 42.9 miles from Green Bay and 75.3 miles from Milwaukee. Ginnea Bissau is touching Ginnea and Senegal. **=== ===**Rio Cacheu’s Official Language is Portuguese. Residents of Oshkosh certainly do not speak Portuguese! Wisconsinites from Oshkosh usually speak English. Well out of the 64,000 people in Oshkosh maybe they learned. Usually the people in Rio Cacheu (out of all 1,345,479 people) they speak Portuguese. **=== =**Oshkosh was settled in the 1800’s. Rio Cacheu started with parts of the ** Kingdom of Gabu and later a part of the Mali Empire! Oshkosh is hotter in late summer. Rio Cacheu has a drought every once in a while. = =**These are very different places. They are both small places and have very famous things in their past (but not really now). **=
