As for the blonde hair I too was born with it now it is what we call dishwater blond.
I would like to go to eastern Europe some day.
I got to go there many years ago and had a great time it was like being home again.
Many people in our group didn't get along too well there.
I got along just fine and thought everyone was very nice.
I think it was my straight forwad honest attitude that made the difference.
Accepting other people's way of life can take you very far in an other land.

Worth, of course I didn´t know about Czech in Texas. I lived fourty years in the country, where the censorship wielded the press and those Czechs which exited republic after 1948 year as if they died (for example Lendl, Navrátilová, Forman, Madelene Albright). About USA was feasible to write only that what was bad. I got to hear something about Czechs in Texas in April this year (after emergency in the town West). Czech government got to West 250000 dolars, were some offerings of money and four children form West came to Prague. This all was at TV.
