Sorry, I haven't read through the last 4 pages (I wasn't interested in the ranting).
It would have given you some insight in the kind of problems you might face.
I read the last pages after all. I'm not scared...
I'm living in Jyväskylä now, so I guess that's the reason I haven't experienced any racism yet. And I just fit into the Finnish. I mean no one can say I'm not Finnish just by looking at me. The only discrimination I experienced is getting a job. But that is just natural.
Even if I experienced atrocities because of my nationality, I wouldn't care. I came here by choice (and the choice was about the country, not career/money), I will die here before I start to whine about my cast.

The post about Finnish-Hungarian exchange gave me an idea, I don't want to take studies, but maybe I can exploit that my university has good relations with Tampereen Tekninen Yliopisto.
I know Jyvväskylä is one of the worst places to get a job, but it's a good geographical base for seeking across the country.

I heard that northern small towns are depopulating rapidly, and it's easy to find really cheap accommodations/rents. Is it truth?
That would mean an escape plan for me.

I will look around in the forum, maybe it's not the best thread for my questions. (But I wanted to jump into it immediately)

Sorry for boring you with my long posts.

The closer to Utsjoki, the better. I do not how naive you need to be to survive here but you are doing a fine job. Now only a job and you can join the others.

I'm sorry, I'm new here on the forums, I guess that's the reason I don't understand the meaning last two sentences (and the implication of the first).
What do you mean by "naive"?
"survive here": "here" means Jyväskylä/northern regions/Finland?
What do you mean by "doing a fine job"?
Who are the "others"?

I'm sure now that everyone thinks I'm just an other filipdragos, but that doesn't mean I understand these allusions already. (Or I'm just paranoid, and there aren't any allusions)

I got a job in Finland as a bike messenger years ago and I barely spoke any Finnish back then, if you are a driver maybe they could use you at one of those companys either as a car driver with there vehicle or if you are willing to purchase a bicycle maybe that could be an option, of course on a bike the pay is not a lot but it is a job to help you get your foot in a door... it does not hurt to try;)
