We've heard you
 
     Over nine hundred foreigners in Brno (past, present, future, or potential) have filled out 'The Great Brno Expat Survey'. That's an amazing number! Thanks to all of you who have participated. If you haven't, today is your last chance (until midnight, Wednesday).
    We'll process the data now and publish the results in January. We'll also be sending them over to the public officials who funded the survey in the first place. It will be up to them to implement the changes.
      And now, onto the newsletter - we packed another good one:

   
 
The Czech government recommends every Brit to get a residence card. Here’s how.
 
 
Written by expats
November has two bird-based holidays. One is the perfect way to taste and experience the CR, the other is one of the few things I miss about America. 

 Mák – growing a taste for this tiny seed
You have probably noticed the generous quantities of this little seed all around Brno. Let’s have a closer look at mák. 

Kino Art will screen this gangster classic in the former penitentiary (Káznice) on Cejl. There's no better atmosphere to watch this film in.
  Halloween has only recently arrived in the CR. There is a much older tradition – dušičky. Cemeteries were lit by thousands of candles on 2 November.
