For anyone not familiar with ancient northern European history, the story 'Serendipity s Matterhorn' might aid in understanding a bit more about it. The story deals with the migration of Germanic tribes from the North Sea Coast of Holland, Germany and Denmark, to the British Isles. These four language groups were popularly known as: the Angels, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, and were the people responsible for the existence of the original English language.Going 17 years back now, when I was 21 years old and traveling around Europe, I stumbled upon a culture unknown to me at the time. 'The Frisians' occupy the north coast of Holland, Germany and a little of the western Danish islands. I was impressed by their big boned structures, blond hair and the sound of their language. I found the moving sands of 'the Frisian islands' romantic, and the idea of boat travel across the North Sea to be shrouded in mystery. The blue and white stripped Friesland flag, which appeared to be full of hearts, struck me as well- heartful. But what finally won me over was the minute I came to realize that the language stood alone with English as 'the Anglo-Frisian language group'.So it had to be that years later, after teaching English in Brazil for a decade, and watching countless hours of the Deutsche Welle-German TV channel, that I would finally write a book which explained a little more about these people.For those who have not yet read 'Serendipity s Matterhorn' I must explain that the English language originated in a region known as 'the eastern North Sea Coast' and is known as a- North Sea Germanic or 'Ingvaeonic' tongue; 'Ing' being the supposed father of the 'Ingwine' or 'friends of Ing'. This word may not ring any bells at first sight because modern English does not use the letter 'I' for 'English- (Eng)', but the Portuguese do- 'Inglaterra (Ing)'. There are also other versions of spelling in English words like- 'Anglo (Ang)'. So you see- Ing, Ang, Eng...As I looked further into the German language I began realizing just how much English has migrated from it s 'Dutch-German-Frisian' sisters to it s insular (island) form. Finally when 'Church Latin' and 'Norman French' flooded into the British Isles, the language became half German and half Latin: old English (like Frisian) became middle English (like Scots) then modern English (from Shakespeare on)... So today s English could probably be termed as a 'French-German' or 'Latin-Germanic'...; a creolized (halfway language) German.If this text was at all helpful then look for more posts, and if you loved it then read more in Serendipity s Matterhorn. Domingo, 14 de agosto de 2011Book characters from story....at Amazon s Shelfari Book Club Serendipity Van Der Zee: This is the main character in the story.

Andre: This is Nicolau s neighbor and best friend, the one who began the construction of the miniature town. He has good ties with 'Iggy' the miniature land baron in 'The Dorf'. The 13 djing smurf like monks: These are the individuals who produce all the modern electronic tracks which eventually change the structure of the original miniature town. One of these monks goes by the name of Robinhood and his girlfriend is the lovely Lady Maid Marian. They are always being chased by The Sheriff of Nottingham. Lassie: Lassie is Maria May s purple and yellow collie, known in 'The Dorf' as The Trollwolf, which helps The Sheriff track The Outlaw Couple.
Ingredients: 1. 300 grams of type one rice (miniature) 2. 1/2 liter of boiling water * 3. 2 tea spoons of salt 4. 1/2 of a small onion (finely diced) 5. 3 crushed garlic cloves 6. 5 tablespoons of soy oil How to prepare: Rinse rice in appropriate drainer until the drawn-off water comes out clear. Allow to dry in drainer for 10 minutes. Fill a deep pan with oil, garlic and salt, stew till golden-bronze, then throw in rice (with a wooden spoon) and stir well. Now lower to minimal flame and add boiling water *; step by step (every 7 minutes) -in 4 parts. Maintain pan semi-covered throughout the process. After fourth addition of water close lid tightly. 10 minutes later, if you can t wait any longer, go ahead and serve. However, if you have enough time- wrap pan in 4 pages of newspaper covered with 2 dish towels- (so as to tie a knot on top). This last method cooks the rice longer using it s own heat- allowing it to take on more flavor. Good luck Maple Syrup!!! As mentioned in Serendipity s Matterhorn Petropolis is a potpourri of different people. This is not because it offers mass employment, attracting immigrants from around the globe, but rather, on account of it being a combination of an assortment of people invited to live here during the 1800s, and a later wave of Brazilians who continued in their footsteps. I have stated in other texts that this city was the property of a king, and is now part of the inheritance left to his heirs. So much is this a reality that every year the owners of properties within the municipality must pay a special tax called 'Laudemio'. It totals to about one percent of annual payments to the country, but when added together, must produce a reasonable amount. King Pedro personally welcomed thousands of immigrants to his farm two hundred years ago so as to construct a train line from Rio de Janeiro up the mountain to Petropolis, and eventually extending on into the general mines state just north of Rio de Janeiro state. Being as he d commissioned an Austrian engineer to design his new city, the first planned city in brazil, he also allowed this engineer named Frederico Koeller to find immigrants which would best suite his fancy. Koeller went straight for the refugees of Germany, which were fleeing religious warfare and starvation. This first group of immigrants came from the margins of the Rhine river, on the border with France. The names of a few of their cities are still used by neighborhoods today. Amongst them we have Darmstadt, Mosel, Ingelheim, West Falen and Bingen. These immigrants were commonly recognized as the Hunsruckers because they lived mostly on the high planes of the Rhineland-Pfaltz region of Germany. Petropolis is divided into five sections. The first one is where King Pedro built his house, which is now the imperial museum, and is the area where most of the German families still reside. The second section corresponds
to a second wave of immigrants which came from Italy this time. Since the German government eventually accused Brazil s Royals of mistreating their citizens, the wave of German immigrants soon ceased to a halt, and the next best alternative, in Pedro s eyes, were the Italians. Most of these groups came from the Italian province of Veneto in order to begin filling the broken link of Germans who had overflowed into textile mills. Together these 3,000 Italians erected the second district called Cascatinha, or little waterfall. By the 1840 s the two groups had equaled out in number and both contributed to the character of today s city. Due to the fact that the Portuguese people came to Brazil in such large numbers and from the earliest stages of colonization, they were not mentioned in 'Serendipity s Matterhorn', when in fact they are ever present in Petropolis' history and comprise the third group. The Portuguese were known as Lusitanos, from their ancient name for a region in Portugal. They also came in the same numbers as both the Germans and the Italians and settled the neighborhood of Caxambu. Contrary to the other Europeans, they mostly dealt in agriculture and retail, and till today continue growing and selling most of the vegetables we purchase in the region. However, people who are alike do not stand apart, and so nowadays there are no yearly events commemorating their participation in Pedro s city the way the Italian day and The Bauernfestival do. Moving on now, I must not leave out the fourth group which were the African-Brazilians who also came up in hoards. But their case is distinctly different because they were not free to found any memorials, museums, restaurants, parks or anything to be remembered by. A considerable number were brought by white settlers such as by the king himself, while others came as wives or kids of the Portuguese colonists, and can easily be recognized today. I could even go so far as to state that their s is the fastest growing of all the groups in the city, for it is they who now build the slums up into the Atlantic Rain Forest of the region. The African-Brazilians give Petropolis a very Rio de Janeiro type of feeling, so much so, that at times the city could be considered a high altitude neighborhood of the sprawling metropolis below. finally we come to the latter two groups who made Petropolis their home starting from the 1900 s, and these were the Mineiros or people from the state of Minas Gerais, and the Cariocas, or the famed residents of Rio de Janeiro. Beginning with the state of minas gerais, we must not forget King Pedro s train which ran through the city, connecting the sea port of Rio de Janeiro to the general mines state up north. This state has it s very own special history going back to the original colonial times when the Bandeirantes, or flag carriers moved northeast from their state of Sao Paulo in the name of patriotism, and
fought head on against the Portuguese occupation of the rich mining areas. Consequently it would be reasonable to imply that this group enriched Petropolis still more, lending the city yet another typically Brazilian component.Finally we reach the last group, and most well known internationally, the Rio de Janeiro Cariocas. I could run the risk of saying that without the Cariocas, Petropolis would have lost it s European charm altogether because it was this group of people who took King Pedro s ideas to their limits by building countless structures in a distinctly European flavor. They mirrored the german style in the construction of a huge casino beside the lake in Quitandinha, which in 'Serendipity s Matterhorn' is where the dating couple spend a day lounging around on the lake in swan shaped pedal boats. Due to Brazil s ban on gambling during the 40 s, this proud Norman building never served more than two years as a place of gaming, but soon turned into a regular block of beautiful apartments. The plastic carpeted ski slope was another carioca invention which can still be seen above the city center. I rode up the chairlift as a child, listening to the whistling wind blowing through the loblolly pines along it s ski runs. From the top of the lift all the mountains can be seen, like the Alps in the summer. The downtown main street stretches into the distance until the afternoon fog bank arrives, leaving the viewer stranded on an island in the sky, and isolated in the middle of the city. With the Cariocas came fancy chocolatiers like Katz and Patroni. But the principal element brought by this group was the urbanization of the city. High-rise buildings were constructed, industrial companies of Rio de Janeiro loaned recreational and educational facilities, and a gigantic population of retirees took the city by storm. Slowly the old fabric of Petropolis was altered into a modern carioca metropolis, counting on an extensive modern interstate equipped with bus services to Rio de Janeiro which now depart every half hour. So we could accuse this latter group a defacing King Pedro s island Europe, and this wouldn t be wrong to say. However, the king was himself a Carioca, and never actually intended his city to be any different from his then Brazilian capital of Rio de Janeiro; after all, the majority of his wealthy friends were also from Rio. Today Petropolis is both a weekend getaway as well as a dormitory city for those who wish for a cozy, mysterious city with European zeal. Many Cariocas claim to live in the city for security reasons, being Rio de Janeiro an unsafe metropolis. Teenagers often complain about the city s lack of night life, and the damp climate of the first district regularly scares many would-be-residents from ever taking this city into their hearts. I consider myself part of the latest wave of colonists who has been drawn to this European-Brazilian city, walled in by 7,000 foot mountains, and cooled by a sea breeze from Rio s South
Atlantic, which only 3,000 feet of altitude can provide. If there s one place in Brazil where a writer could feel stimuli to advance a craft, I would have to cite Petropolis as the star of the show and thank a nineteenth century king for allowing immigrants like myself to take part in his creation. Thank you King Pedro II !

Serendipitous (adj.) Lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chance.(ex: serendipitous surprises)Serendip- the Persian name for Sri Lanka (Ceylon)The Imperial CityMaria May crunched over crackling dry, colorful leaves, mixed with spiky, cuckoo burs, in her black chamois dance slippers and Bauernfest dress. She kicked them off, climbed through the white-bark limbs of Frau Helle s tree, and reached for the desired twig. Her lengthy, loosely-curled hair swept across her long back as the girl wrestled with it for a moment. Upon her third attempt the small branch snapped and she pulled it closer for further examination.Maria observed the wood s gentle arching form and stated.It s perfect. She jumped from the bare branches just as a chilly wind whirled down from the flat top mountain, pulling countless leaves up into the tall funnel which spun past the Ahorn tree. The gentle breeze that followed released a colorful star from above. She sprinted over and caught it in her hands.The last leaf of the season is always the luckiest! cried Maria, as she crushed it in order to liberate the sweet fragrance. The girl smiled up at the low winter sun on this shortest day of the year, then headed for home.At about the same time, on June 22nd- the day a pair of ducklings took to the water, a highly polished antique Volkswagen, the kind they don t make anymore, was pulling up to a gas station called the Santo Graal, or Holy Grail'. The driver rolled down his window and called out to a young man, who then turned his attention away from a displayed country map, and looked over at the blue car.Bom dia Senhor, estou procurando A Pousada da Maca'.But the young man, sensing that Portuguese was not the driver s native language, answered in English.I m not from around here dude. he responded, quickly shoving the rest of his Dutch Stroopwafel into his mouth.The driver then turned off the engine, and stepped out of the car.I would never have imagined that you were an American; considering your appearance and all. I m 'Lagrecca the York man', pleased to meet you, ah...It s Serendipity Van Der Zee. and the young man extended his hand.Where could a chap find 'the Apple mans Bed and Breakfast', aye?Just follow the trolley tracks into town and then keep your eyes peeled for signs. answered Serendipity, still chewing the gummy substance.Hey lad, why is it you aren t sticking around up here, the vacation s just started? Is there something the matter with the climate? You didn t like the people, maybe...No... he answered, covering his laugh.I m making my way down to Curitiba city to see if I can
