NvB: Bored in Brno?: You Could be the Lucky Winner

You Could be the Lucky Winner

If you had entered Večerní Brno's SMS competition last week, you could have won a coupon for 100 crowns at KFC. The question:

Jaké jsou nové příchutě dezertu muffin?
a) karamelový a jablečný
b) čokoládový s kokosem a oříškový
c) karamelový a čokoládový s kokosem

What are the new flavors of the the dessert muffin?
a) caramel and apple
b) chocolate with coconut and hazelnuts
c) caramel and chocolate with coconut

If you don't know the answer, take a guess. And if you are really lucky you might win something--a free tour of Brno, a personalized email/postcard, or, gasp, a free lunch at KFC. Who knows? Večerní Brno will contact you.

And don't cheat by looking at the answer! While you're thinking, you could stop at the KFC.cz site to read their ads, with a slight Brno tinge (Karla and I have noticed the preponderance of KFCs in Brno): "Have a seat in the metro, the tram, or the šalina, and hurry to station 'KFC'." Really, you can't miss the hot-dog-bun metro train pulling into the 'KFC' station in the Prague metro. It's in the "ISIC student offer" ad, and it's quite an entertainment. (For those gullible among you who haven't been in Prague, there is a lot of corporatization going on in the neo-capitalism there, but there isn't really a KFC stop on the Prague metro.)

The Blog

What is "Bored in Brno"? a) the best Czech movie of 2003, b) a blog about Brno (the Czech Republic's second largest city) and my adventures in and observations of south and east Moravia. I usually post about music, arts, culture, and stuff in Brno; or, I talk about whatever; or, I may bore you.

There's a Czech saying about how you are a new person for every language you learn. Here's your chance to experience Czech vicariously and to become your new self, now conveniently available in English translation. (Or at least something reasonably close to English.)

If you have questions, suggestions, like what you see, or you're just plain bored, don't hesitate to leave a comment or e-mail me.

The Blogger

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

No KFC stop on the Prague metro? Are you trying to pretend we hallucinated that? Hey man, I thought the acid had worn off... like... years ago... like... I don't know... like back when I used to eat that fried chicken stuff back in second grade.
