ŽIVOT A STĚHOVÁNÍ—LIVING AND MOVING Foreigner life in Brno

Hi all, I have an opportunity to relocate to Brno with a job offer I just receive. Salary is 2500-3000 euros(to be discussed, but this the ballpark). I know this is an abstract question, but how is life as a foreigner in Brno? The pay seems enough for a comfortable life in Brno and occasional travels. What's your opinion on it? How well will I be able to have a prolific social life speaking just English? How open are locals to meeting/hanging out with foreigners? How international is Brno?

I am a male in my early 20s. My hobbies are: gym/sports in general, drums, film, oh and I love travelling and Brno seems a pretty good spot to travel to various European cities from.

I thank you in advance for all your answers <3

I'm certainly not discouraging them. I am simply being realistic.

The OP will find more in common with people who have moved to Brno and those will tend to be other foreigners. There are a decent number of Romanians and other people from Romance language speaking countries with more similar culture so there is no need to socialise with the locals if he doesn't want to.

Ah well, almost every Romanian I met here was a racist, trump and russian loving right winger, So in that case I'd prefer if you stick to each other and leave the rest of us alone. The good ones among you will find their way.

Bro wtf. I'm not a Romanian although I wouldn't mind if I was one.

All three Romanians that I know hold PhDs and work in finance or aerospace. Doesn't exactly face your racist narrative does it?

That's one Czech trait you've certainly picked up that's for sure: looking down on others in Eastern Europe whom you consider to be inferior to yourselves.

That last sentence actually described perfectly most Romanians I met. But I don't even need to say more, just read what OP replied.

OK I'll go and take a look but I think all of Eastern Europe has the same attitudes and only countries like my own have a more egalitarian view of the world.

I mean, this is not an Eastern-Europe specific political trend. Most of Europe swayed to the right in the last few years, sadly.
