Today I read some articles or peoples' comments in one forum. It is held by some culture exchange organization in Finland, so most of the people who left comments or articles are foriegners in Finland.
But I have read so many negative things they said about living and finding jobs in this country. Are they all true? And the most they discussed is about racism here. This is a problem I have never experience and not think about that much before. Because most of my life I spent in my homecountry and there I do not feel or think about the racism.Now I moved to a new country and a developed country,there are this kinda problems exist or not? I asked myself, but I can not answer it very well.
Since in the forum,many people said that the reason they can not find a job or whatever is because this place is full of racism people. And people are conservertive here. Well, I do not really agree but.... One fact here is that there are not many colored people working in the public places. Therefore it seems that here is not quite open for people of different races.
Well try to survive in a foreign country is always a diffcult thing. There are culture difference,language difference.... and maybe also some problems like I said previous. How to face it? Complaining is absolutely no use. Who can give some good ideas?
I am a little bit lost and confused after I read comments in this forum....

Don't put your easter bunnies in the sun
People in Finland are IMHO a little convervative, but not racists (at least not on purpose).
Surviving in foreign countries is difficult and it's interesting because of all the difficulties. So much learning moments, so much new people, so much new things. Some are stupid, for your perspective, some are interesting from your perspective. All of them give you the opportunity to grow and learn.
What is the plan for improvement for the people in the forum? Did they blame their situation on racism and then not improve anymore? If they would have accepted the situation and work from it, make a plan for improvement, would they then have left these comments?
The best way forward in any foreign county is to accept the situation, make the best out of it and plan for the future!
And most of all... learn from it. I always find people who I meet who have lived in different countries more "rich of experience" and "open of mind".
