Let's play in the park!
The weather is getting gorgeous so we'll take you play pétanque in the Lužánky park and on Don Sparling's guided walk through the city center this month. For reading, you have 3 articles from us and 3 from expat bloggers. And writing? Express your thoughts on life in Brno and the Czech Republic in two surveys! Also, you have till the end of April to enter the Brno Short Story Writing Contest.
 Written by expats
 Writing was always what I wanted to do. I would grow up, go to university, get a degree, and write books for a living. Simple. Things didn’t quite work out that way. *** Remember there's still time to enter the Brno Short Story Writing Contest!
