# Or: how "easy" it is to find housing in Brno

Everyone's looking for a place to live — some want to **rent**, others want to **buy**. Small, large, houses, flats. There is supply, **but**... the demand is such that if you don't respond right after a listing goes up, you don't stand much of a chance. Those chances drop depending on **who** you run into — some people **pay** the deposit and agency fee at the viewing just to secure the place; others have it **arranged** in advance with the agency — which won't come cheap — so anyone else is simply out of luck; and then there's the **inside deal**, a friend keeps it for you... try finding anything in that environment.

On top of all that, Brno has **outrageously** high agency commissions — I'm not sure what for, since the contract is **CTRL**+**C** and **CTRL**+**V**, and when they're supposed to negotiate something for you they tend to side with the landlord instead. Not all of them behave that way — but we unfortunately had that experience.

Bottom line, finding housing is **not** easy at all. It takes **luck**, landing a **decent** landlord, and earning above average — because it's not cheap.

# How I flew a Cessna

I got the chance to fly a Cessna. It was a relatively **short** flight — 20 minutes over Brno, past the reservoir, Veveří Castle, the city centre, and back to the airfield.

I was quite nervous — after all, it's a **small** plane. Not a Boeing or an Airbus. Which is exactly why I...
