CEAGESP, a unique morning in Sao Paulo



There is nothing like a morning visit to CEAGESP, South America's largest wholesale fruit and vegetable market.  Wander through the caverous open-air concrete hangar that houses the market and take in all the different colors and scents.  To make your trip all the more worthwhile, try to go on a Tuesday or Friday when the flower market is open.  If you want the true Brazilian experience you can arrive at 5am with all ...

São Paulo's Best Sea Food Restaurant



Everybody knows that São Paulo, among many other qualities, has an amazing cuisine available to its visitors and inhabitants. We have restaurants that cover nearly every ethnicity and culture, as well as various other types of non-cultural eateries – vegan, vegetarian, sea food, healthy food, fast food, etc.

One of my personal favorites is a nice little restaurant called Salmon & Co. As far as fish goes, that is my ...

Esta é imperdível: palestra ministrada por pesquisadora de cultura pop japonesa "O Cinema de Terror Japonês".

Corpo Humano - The Human Body (OCA – Parque do Ibirapuera)



It’s the last few weeks that you can go and see the fascinating Corpo Humano (Human Body) exhibition, which is currently in Sao Paulo. I saw this when it was in London, and it was extremely interesting. I expected to be far more disturbed and repulsed by real dead bodies cut open and displayed, but the preservation techniques pioneered by controversial Professor Gunther von Hagens, transforms the bodies ...
