Yeah, I know three such people, all various academics in Prague. There are barely any cities further east that are so welcoming to people like you. Other than the school shooting last Christmas, we don’t really have much against American culture taking roots.
I’ve worked in pretty much every CEE country and usually many cities in each of them the last 24 years and really can’t say I ever felt unwelcome, even in places you’d think might be less welcoming like smaller cities in Russia. There are certainly places that are easier to get around but I really can’t say I’ve ever felt truly unsafe or unwelcome even when making questionable decisions. Of course shitty individuals exist anywhere, but I can’t say I’ve run into more here than I have in the states.
Well, unfortunately Prague is also quite full of scammers that will take advantage of your situation. I’m sure you’ve been told to be careful when exchanging money and riding taxis.

I’ve lived here for 24 years, I’m not a tourist ;-)
English written in the czech orthography is cursed and i hate it

I understand using alternative orthographies (hell, i was into Shavian for a while) but this one feels weird
