Caleidoscópio Tchozino / Fraiburguese Kaleidoscope

10 - As quatro estações la no frai 3Tchozinhos e tchozinhas,
Quando a gente fica muito tempo longe do Frai, a saudades cutuca a gente com um espeto de michuim de elefante bem na paleta! Que dor Jaguara home do céu! Nessa edição preparei um caleidoscópio anual situacional semiorgânico pangéico meso-lipoproteico das 4 estações do ano em Fraiburgo – Santa Catarina – Brasil, pois, quando estamos fora do Frai, principalmente fora do Brasil, um dos maiores desafios de expressão é contar sobre o Brasil não tropical, aquele jaguarento de frio e colorido ao longo ano. Sinceramente espero que esta edição possa ajudá-los onde quer que estejam enfrentando tal problema. Nesse, processo, escolher as melhores fotos em meio a milhares, não foi moleza, mas tinha que sair uma hora. Além das fotos do verão e outono que assumo a autoria, vale aqui dar os créditos à Andréia Mello pela foto da primavera. A imagem do inverno, até hoje não sei quem foi, o autor(a) tudo o que sei é que alguém encaminhou por email nos anos de 2004, neste caso, acho justo entregar o crédito a Hollobyte informática que me ensinou os princípios do backup (cópia) dos dados. Sem este conhecimento elementar da informática, essa foto que vai se espalhar pelo mundo, não existiria. Aproveitando o momento, foi esta imagem que me fez cair a ficha sobre a importância de mudar a visão que temos das coisas tchozinas…Há muita coisa espetacular meio-oeste do universo. Enfim, a região do meio-oeste de Santa Catarina é linda e Fraiburgo dá um show! No verão é tempo de curtir a colheita da maçã, as cachoeiras e chuvas com gotas com aproximadamente um litro cada! No outono e primavera é tempo de mudança e de muitas cores. O inverno época de fogão a lenha, pinhão e paisagens congeladas quase todas as manhãs, pés e mãos frias por todo o dia, pra quem está visitando é legal!    

Ladies and Gentileman,
How have you been doing? What a long time no English talks over here. I am really sorry about it! Let me apologise myself, I have been tremendously busy lately since I decided to become an entrepreneur. As a result, the blog went far to the end of the priority list. Anyways, It is good to be back. Here is the top most special and expressive pictures so far in the history of the blog. With this kaleidoscopical view I wish to express deep the changes over the the seasons in the not so widely known sub-tropical Brazil. Fraiburgo has plenty of things to do all year long, but what you can expect in the summer is to pick apples directly from the tree, visit some waterfalls, enjoy big rainbows. In the autumn you will feel that everything change in preparation to a cold winter, which is the least colourful but not the least beautiful season of the year. That is when every, or almost every, morning the world looks frozen, but the time passes by life and nature insist to continue and to move on! Spring time, live changes, colours come up again and so on! Hope that you can have a beter understanding about what is Brazil

Dames en heren,

Dit is de eerste keer dat ik hier op mijn blog in het Nederlands probeer te schrijven. Wat een uitdaging! Ik ben al 3 jaar terug in Brazilië dus jullie kunnen voorstellen hoe moeilijk het is om hier Nederlands te oefenen. Hoewel er een paar nederlanders in Florianópolis wonen is het grooste probleem om een taal te behouden het gebrek aan vrije tijd om te studeren. Het idee om Nederlands schrijven is om contact te houden met de cultuur en om misschien motiveren ons “ tchozinhos(as)” andere talen en culturen te bestuderen. Natuurlijk is dat de kans dat dat gebeurd is klein, maar ik doe wat ik kan doen. Niets meer niets minder.

Trouwens, wist je dat Brazilië heeft een subtropische regio heeft? Als je het niet wist, de bestaansreden van dit blog is om Fraiburgo te laten zien aan de wereld, dus … wat vind je van de foto, is het goed genoeg? … dit is Fraiburgo, gelegen in het centrum van de zuiden van Brazilië en werd gekoloniseerd door Italianen en Duitsers … je vraagt je misschien af wat is de relatie tussen Fraiburgo en Nederland? Het antwoord is niets, maar dat kan altijd veranderen. Misschien zal op een dag Fraiburgo een mooi nederlands molen hebben om haar internationale karakter te laten zien. Wie weet? Ik zou willen dat een dag nieuwsgierige Nederlanders naar Fraiburgo bezoeken en onze 4 verschillende seizoenen ervaren! Dat is alles voor nu ! veel groetjes van uit het mooie Santa Catarina!

Do Facebook para o mundo / From Facebook to the world

O Facebook é uma ferramenta está causando uma revolução  na maneira como as pessoas se informam (ou se desinformam) e interagem. No entanto, esse universo virtual é fechado e, em alguns casos, manipulado. Por esses e outros motivos as informações do Lá no Frai serão postadas em primeira mão aqui no blog e depois vão pra lá. Assim a informação e o conhecimento podem viajar livremente de acordo com os desejos dos ventos de informação. Se o Lá no Frai fosse um livro, teria custado muito mais e não teríamos chegado tão longe. Também, quando possível (no causo) faremos a baldeação de material do mundo facebook para o global que é o espaço aberto para qualquer tchô de qualquer país ficar de zóio nas coisas de Fraiburgo e região. Segundo nossas estatística de acesso podemos dizer que Fraiburgo está se tornando influente nesta parte do mundo. Continuaremos sempre apoiando as iniciativas de cultura e desenvolvimento de talentos da região.  Abaixo está o trabalho fotográfico de Fernando Varela. 

Since Facebook is a closed-world-minded tool, all information about Fraiburgo will be firs-hand delivered here at www.lanofrai.com.br. Yeap, in this way, information and knowledge can flow freely as the information wind desires. Also, when possible, we will bring things from facebook to here. Below is a beautiful picture taken by Fernando Varela some time ago.

Lago das Araucárias por Fernando Varela

The city lake, our favorite place

Ludic map – by GuiaSul – Click to enlarge 

Today, I am going to bring you to the famous lake of the city. Here is a ludic map of the city (click on the pic) to give some sense of direction. In there you can see the city gate and the lake.

Here is a picture taken pointing to the center of the town. This is by far one of our favorite places in the city.

When I was showing the pictures of the lake to my friends, they usually asked me “but it isn’t really a lake isn’t it? It looks like a pond” I say, “No, of course it’s not a pond, it is a lake”. Ok, let clarify this. In fact, it isn’t a real lake. So why do we “Fraiburguenses” call it as a lake?  The answer is simple, it is because we feel like doing so and because everybody agrees on this, then it is a lake, at least for us. I’m not joking. If you think about it, that is the same process that happens in science, languages, religion, economics and so forth “what it is and what isn’t is always and only a question of consensus”. Therefore, in our local agreement this is a lake. Yet, to strengthen and extend the overall consensus over this topic, the names of streets and buildings are named after to “lake” related names :). Looking from an outside perspective it’s funny :). Furthermore, I feel that this is already so rooted in our minds that if you come to the city and look for the pond of the city we might think you are looking for something else rather than our adorable little lake.

So why the lake is so special for us? That’s is tough question actually. Perhaps it’s similar to ask why are your siblings so special for you? It’s difficult to explain, we basically grew up next it, it is part of our family, it was silently present in most of the important city events and in our life happenings. Generation after generation it is there watching us. It is the symbol and the pride of city and what makes it unique in the country e perhaps in the world.

These trees below are a gift of a very specially woman called Lídia Frey who planted the seeds of theses magnificent pine trees thinking ahead, about the next generations. I dream about seeing actions like this becoming normal thing and not an exception to the rule. Fortunately, here we have a real and lovely example that altruistic actions like this work out in the long term, generating value to everyone, not only for the citizens of Fraiburgo, but also for humanity. Many thanks to Mrs. Lídia Frey (in memoriam) for this wonderful gift and life example.
