I live in Pragueand I've been looking for English language sites for expats living here recently. Prague TV is the best I can come up with. There are a few others, some that look promising but not fully functional yet, some absolutely terrible, and a some not so bad, but not really community sites. Do you live or work in Eastern Europe? Know any decent English language sites?

Cool! How are things in Switzerland, anyway?

I live in Jena, East Germany. Does the former GDR still count as Eastern Europe?

Ahh... Praha. How I miss it. Actually, I always heard of the Czech Republic referred to as 'Central Europe.' But that could just be a linguistic trick to make it feel more western.

I suppose Central European is the geographical term, whereas Eastern European refers to the (former) political situation.

I generally refer to this area as Eastern Europe because of the political situation, but technically I guess the Czech Republic is in Central Europe.

Thanks MiguelCardoso!

I used to live in Prague as well...but I cant remember any good sites off-hand. Check out www.nyu.cz because there might be good links on there.

And hey, how's Naked Weather doing? We dont get that here in the States!
