One of the things that makes me instantly, irrationally angry is when someone uses the word ‘staycation’ to mean a holiday that doesn’t involve leaving the country. No. That’s a holiday. A staycation is when you stay in your own town and city and make the effort to explore it in a deeper, more curious way.

Share Tweet Pin Mail SMSIn the heart of São Paulo’s historic center, there’s a place where food becomes an experience: the Municipal Market of São Paulo, or as the locals call it, the Mercadão. Since 1933, this space has not only nourished the city, it has helped define it. Surrounded by the aromas of exotic fruits, piles of spices, sizzling bites and a joyful rhythm, the Mercadão has earned its reputation as one of Brazil’s top gourmet destinations.

Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place. It will be something different every week, but it will always be about something worth seeing, hearing or watching, or a place worth visiting or a food worth tasting.

As journalists, when we review a film, a book, food, or anything else, we have to write the review for the reader, removing any thoughts we have about the feelings of those who created it. Our responsibility is always, above all, to give the reader our authentic perspective, not to please or placate creators. Otherwise we’re part of their PR team, not objective reporters.

Sometimes, when we have some thinky work to do, we open the laptop and we do it. Just like that. The work needs to be done, so we do it. Other times, we remember those days as if they happened to another person because, try as we might, we just can’t get our brains to co-operate. So what can we do when we need to think but we simply can’t get focused? Sometimes, we need silence for that. Sometimes, we need a change of scene. And sometimes, we simply need the perfect playlist.
