Would having long blond hair cause problems over auburn hair?
You are going to teach, right? You don't need Internet to do that. But anyway, at this point I would be surprised to hear you would be forced to have dial-up, unless your apartment is pretty old. Japan makes the digital conversion in 2011, so, again, I would be surprised if you couldn't get cable at your place.

Bleached blond hair will be more noticeable than auburn hair, and I don't know if you are teaching at a public school or private school or what, but at the public school I taught at it was against the rules for students to dye their hair, and it was discouraged for teachers to do the same. It's probably fine at a private English school, but that may be something you want to ask about.
