The amount of foreigners living in Brno is estimated to 25 000 which is huge in proportions considering the whole south moravian region counts in total 35 000 foreigners...
All of us came and stay for different reasons. It can be because of Brno's pleasant climate or for its quality of life. Maybe because of the very bearable "lightness of being" of its people or for a good job opportunity. Whatever the reason is that made us coming here, most of us didn't speak a word of czech when arriving and were disoriented at first.
This is why several individuals came up with the idea of creating websites, forums or groups on facebook in english providing with valuable information or just the possibility to connect with other people living here. I wanted to share few of them with you in case you don't know them already:
www.brnonow.com - Independent guide to Brno with calendar of events
www.brnoexpats.com - forum, ads & classified, practical tips and regular expats meetings!
www.brnoexpatcentre.eu - services to foreigners planning to relocate
Brno Echoes (Facebook group) - information, addresses, articles and tips on Brno
I am sure there are plenty more but these are the main ones so if you want to recommend any other website or group about Brno on Facebook, do not hesitate to leave a comment..
