NvB: Bored in Brno?: We Apologize

We Apologize

I found this helpful message at a Web page where I was making some inquiries this morning:

Vážení návštěvníci internetových stránek Etnologického ústavu!

Vítáme Vás na nové webovské prezentaci našeho ústavu a zároveň se omlouváme, že ne všechny rubriky a informace jsou plně funkční a aktuální. Stránky jsou prozatím ve zkušebním provozu. Děkujeme za pochopení.

Dear visitors to the Web page of the Ethnology Institute!

Welcome to our Institute's new Web presentation. We apologize that not every sections is fully functional and not all information updated. For now, the pages are in testing. Thank you for understanding.

I can only wonder what the point of updating a Web site is if you're not really updating it . . .

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.
