Brno Now

Brno Now after three weak weeks I am gonna try to publish an article a day again :) Enjoy this district guide - I lived in Líšeň during the first two years of my life and now I do visit the quarter quite often.

There is nice nature around Líšeň, with many hiking and biking paths.

Brno Now Jakub Hurt wants to know my definition of good beer: 1/ It's refreshing, making you feel comfortable in all possible ways. 2/ It has an unique taste you can recognize blindfolded or remember a week after. 3/ It has an original brand, telling a story (Dalešice, Pegas, Pilsner - not Gambrinus).

Donald Nathan Brown http://bit.ly/5f8ORu - survey shows Czechs living in wine producing areas of Czech Republic are happier than average. Question: what was the time/location of survey???

bit.ly
New results in a Czech sociological study (part of a larger long-term European project measuring values across European countries) have suggested that an overwhelming number of Czechs – 86 percent - are happy with their lives. ...

Michael Mazey Need to navigate your way through Czech Wine. Let me recommend to you Reisten, a small but very high quality establishment in Pavlov but available at the Vinoteka in Velky Spalicek. They make excellent whites, especially Pinot Blanc (Rulanske Bile) and also a Merlot. Also, if reds are more your thing, one of the bes...t red producers is Stapleton and Springer. Their winery is in Boretice but their wines can be bought around town and in some of the best restaurants. Anyone interested in trying some of these wines, there is a wine tasting being held this Friday 13th at Zemanova Kavarna. I can post more details if your interested. Does anyone else have some wine recommendations?

Donald Nathan Brown Best way to get through traffic in Brno - if not snowing!! When it is snowing, our scooter model is appropriately called "Why". Here is a picture of our 'Why' outside our Brno office. Anyone else use a scooter around Brno?

I wanted to buy a scooter after watching great movie Quadrophenia, but I am too coward-hearted to drive it in this town... esp. the streets of Židenice are pretty wild :) However - thumbs up, "Why" looks great!

Yes, sometimes traffic is crazy but I find the drivers here really don't mind scooters going up the middle of cars at stop lights. In fact I have had more problem from drivers when I am on my bike than the scooter.

Maybe it is because they can't catch me on the scooter...

Brno Now drink a glass of Blauer Portugieser to Jan Skácel & enjoy my lame translation of his poem :)

brnonow.com
Skácel's work was influenced by south Moravian traditions and nature as well as by minimalist Chinese poetry.
