Influental weblog Brnopolis became bilingual

by Michal Kašpárek on January 13, 2009

One of the favorite blogs about Brno, Brnopolis.eu, is bilingual now. Many interesting posts (or should I say “essays”?) will be available in English.

Brnopolis is not only a blog, it is also a think-tank and an idea platform. Or how themselves declare:

Brnopolis is an open Brno community of people in creative professions interested in the international city development. The non-profit apolitical initiative includes opinions and experience exchange through the moderated weblog and face to face informal meetings that are a part of the OpenCoffee Club network of events held in over 80 cities around the world.

So if your relationship with Brno will last over the weekend stay, do not forget to add Brnopolis to your RSS reader.

Update: Brnopolis has been bilingual since it launched, but the frequency of English-written posts was very low. You can find all the posts in category called simply “in english“.
