I'm considering moving to the Czech republic for 6 months.
(Brno seems to be the front runner for now)
Anyone have any helpful tips and advice?
What apartment-service are serious?
(I don't want to pay some kinda "first month in advance" or whatever stuff, only to arrive and learn the apartment doesn't exist)
I'm hoping to go in October.
I have some finance, but I'm not a billionaire yet.
>Anyone have any helpful tips and advice?
no, not me, sorry. good luck.
dont go there its student city
Why would you do that to yourself?
'kay.
thanks
and this is bad, because..?
because I am sick and tired of living in Norway.
and CR is one of the few countries I can go to that is favorable to my interests, legally.
We're full fuck off
>going to a poor eastern European shithole the Pepikland is just because you don't go to jail for weed possession (it doesn't even mean that it's legal)
Isn't CR the most civilized country in eastern Europe?
>thread about CZ
>butthurt pshek appears like a clockwork
And Kenya is one of the most civilized places in Africa but I guess you wouldn't like to live there.
Czechia is just extremely overrated just because people heard that "weed is legal" there (which isn't true).
>Anyone have any helpful tips and advice?
yea I do, fuck off back to Frozenland
I'm sure that alone would prompt someone to move here
Whatever. Czechia is just seen as "cheaper Germany" while most of Czechia is typical eastern Europe with eastern European infrastructure, commieblocks and wages.
maximum butthurt achieved
and? what does it have to do with this thread?
well, at least I know I'll be welcome...
OP asked for helpful tips so I gave him one. Czechia is overrated and he'd better not go there.
>he shud go to bolan we hav churches and no abortion also we third worl
>spewing butthurt is considered a helpful tip
yes, all the expats I know suffer greatly here
ok, some serious answers for a change
>Brno
has a good vibe, not as hectic as Prague and not as full of tourists (mostly because there is nothing to see there)
>apartment-service
try sreality.cz, they seem to be decent from what I have heard
>Anyone have any helpful tips and advice?
you gotta be more specific here
Have fun OP.
I don't say he should go to Poland, we're also overrated by the_donald-tier conservatives. Anyone who'd like to change Norway for anything that isn't a tropical paradise must be insane.
>you gotta be more specific here
I don't know, anything really.
- does and dont's
- should I worry about the Russian mafia?
- is the entire country members of a secret cult that exclusively worship turnips?
- are the streets rampant with stab happy rapists?
basically, anything you can think off that a foreigner might not learn from reading a half-page article published by the Czech board of tourism...
>must be insane.
well, maybe I am.
who are you to judge?
>does and dont's
take off your shoes when entering people's flat even if they insist that you don't have to
talking about commies/politics is always touchy topic
lot of people get unironically butthurt when you call the country Easter European
if you come for a visit, always bring some gift, preferably flowers for the woman of the house
idk, all these seem generic
> should I worry about the Russian mafia?
no, lel
>is the entire country members of a secret cult that exclusively worship turnips?
dang it, you got us
>are the streets rampant with stab happy rapists?
no but in some parts, they are rampant with steal happy cigány
in Brno, they are usually concentrated around Francouzská st. iirc
other than that
>foreign police is a pain in the ass and I have never met an expat who would not hate it with passion
>bureaucracy is hell, you should have someone who knows Czech everytime you deal with state authorities
>as the Pole already stated, marijuana (and most drugs iirc) is not legal but decriminalized, meaning if you get caught with a certain amount in one bag you will not go to jail, instead you will receive a fine and the drugs will be confiscated
>people in Brno hate Prague with passion, they also have this retarded local "slang" called hantec, so that they can play special little snowflakes
can't think of anything else rn
>idk, all these seem generic
No, no... this is good.
>dang it, you got us
HAH! I KNEW IT!
>steal happy cigány
>in Brno, they are usually concentrated around Francouzská st. iirc
Yeah, we have them in Norway too.
I make it a habit of staying the fuck away no matter what.
fucking hell, they are truly a pest wherever they go.
>foreign police is a pain in the ass and I have never met an expat who would not hate it with passion
I rarely get into police happenings, I've never been arrested and is a pretty nice and law-abiding fellow.
9/10 times, you just have to be well behaved and not act like a complete idiot.
>bureaucracy is hell, you should have someone who knows Czech everytime you deal with state authorities
duly note, but I don't think I'll need to do all that much bureaucracy wise.
>as the Pole already stated, marijuana (and most drugs iirc) is not legal but decriminalized, meaning if you get caught with a certain amount in one bag you will not go to jail, instead you will receive a fine and the drugs will be confiscated
yeah... I was more thinking with regards to bringing my CZ along
>people in Brno hate Prague with passion, they also have this retarded local "slang" called hantec, so that they can play special little snowflakes
I don't speak the language, and doubt I'll learn it in 6 months.
Are people in general good at speaking english?
>can't think of anything else rn
cool stuff so far, bro... post more if you can think of anything.
you wont like it here barbar snownigger
This. Czechia is so much better than pooland.
Kek
Good luck with the language
Used to live there but i go back every summer for friends and family. I developed a tiny accent barely noticable but I still get shot for it because I have no one to speak Czech with in this shithole
You only have 2 lane roads and like 3 highways. Don't get me started on literally anything else
since you're all here, how much cash do you need to live for 10 years in an eastern european shithole? assuming you own an apartment and don't have to pay rent.
>I rarely get into police happenings, I've never been arrested and is a pretty nice and law-abiding fellow.
yeah, but you will still have to report in at foreign police dept. if you are planning to stay longer than 30 days
or you can just ignore it and hope you won't get ID'd during your stay
> I was more thinking with regards to bringing my CZ along
apparently its ok for EU citizens who hold legally, but the govt article does not say anything about EEA citizens
>Are people in general good at speaking english?
the younger the better in general, older people might not speak English at all
just look up some expat blogs, I'm sure you'll find plenty of other information
>always bring some gift, preferably flowers for the woman of the house
What type of flower? Wouldn't want too much of a faux pas.
Nikdy jsem neměl problém s policií Also you're fucked with the language
Start studying like 5 hours a goddamn day and you still wont learn it fully
nemyslel jsem problémy, ale když tu jseš dýl jak 30 dní tak se musíš zaregistrovat na cizinecké policii, jinak to máš za 3K když tě chytí
>cizinecká policie
Nigga cože
Já mám občanství, jsem na půl čech ale jaktože jsem o nich nikdy neslyšel
>have to report in at foreign police dept. if you are planning to stay longer than 30 days
cool, this I did not know.
>EU citizen vs EEA
I checked that, and apparently we (Norway) have some deal in place, so I just need to get a EU weapons passport for my funz
(and I need a weapons cabinet if I bring more than one)
> expat blogs
got any to suggest?
really appreciate you posting this stuff, btw.
When do you plan on moving? I'm glad to help you with learning I'm fluent in Czech and English if you have a discord or something
Also pro tip I have no idea how you're gonna survive if you're not rich, minimum wage jobs are 22czk a year and rent is 7k a month of you're lucky. I'm sure you can survive barely if you really try but it's wild fucking ride since most young people live with their parents until they find someone to move in together with
>jaktože jsem o nich nikdy neslyšel
protože máš občanství řekl bych
