Simple and clean design coupled with regular posts&nbsp;produced to an extremely high standard. <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/">Christopher's Expat Adventure</a> is a must see for anyone thinking of visiting Czech Rep. on holiday, relocating as an expat or for anyone who is simply curious in what Brno, and the country as a whole, has to offer. At EEEC, we like how easy it is to navigate around the blog and with hundreds of posts going back to 2009, is very easy to get lost (in a good way!) amongst the wealth and depth of writing.<br /> <br /> If you haven't been over <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/">there</a> yet, you must! You won't be disappointed!<br /> <br /> Once more, congratulations! and EEEC, along with the many other readers of <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/">Christopher's Expat Adventure</a> will be waiting with baited breath to see what the blog has to offer in the remainder of 2011 and 2012!<br /> <br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/cjcamargo">Follow Christopher's Expat Adventure on Twitter!</a><br /> <br /> <b>Recommended Posts&nbsp;</b><br /> <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/2011/03/shut-front-door.html">Shut Front Door</a><br /> <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-carp.html">Christmas Carp</a><br /> <a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/2009/12/thanksgiving-2009.html">Thanksgiving 2009</a><b><br /> </b><br /> <div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://chrisinbrnocr.blogspot.com/2011/03/shut-front-door.html" target="_blank"><br /> </a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1598717913466596858-2642061043574270831?l=easteurblogcomp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EastEurExpatComp/~4/yuaolui28t0" height="1" width="1"/>EEEChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09915715568848478066noreply@blogger.comCzech Republic49.81749199999999 15.47296200000005248.56543399999999 12.088839500000052 51.069549999999985 18.857084500000052http://easteurblogcomp.blogspot.com/2011/08/eeec-gold-prize-winner-2011.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598717913466596858.post-10397243121433910302011-08-01T00:24:00.000-07:002011-08-01T22:21:58.049-07:002011-08-01T22:21:58.049-07:00Wow, should it be congratulations or commiseration? <a href="http://czechingin.wordpress.com/">CzechingIn</a> is the winner of the EEEC blog awards' Silver Prize 2011 but only lost out to the gold by 3 votes!<br /> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ieumQo8qMoc/TjZUYZLCEAI/AAAAAAAAADY/Nf8xGg-YSKU/s1600/Silver+award+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ieumQo8qMoc/TjZUYZLCEAI/AAAAAAAAADY/Nf8xGg-YSKU/s1600/Silver+award+2011.jpg" t$="true" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://czechingin.wordpress.com/">http://czechingin.wordpress.com/</a></td></tr> </tbody></table><br /> Accumulating over 40% of all votes, the results speak for themselves. <a href="http://czechingin.wordpress.com/">CzechingIn</a> is a hugely popular, ever fresh blog with one of the simplest, yet joyously effective designs we have seen.
