  Anyway, are Finnish people generally receptive or unreceptive to (White) foreigners?  I think younger are generally. There might be some expections towards russian and maybe towards swedes on teenagers, but I'd say you'll find yourself welcome. Middle-aged people in countryside and elderly almost everywhere might be little cautious but simultanously also little curious. For these cases it wouldn't hurt so learn few words of Finnish like HyvÃ¤Ã¤ pÃ¤ivÃ¤Ã¤, kiitos etc.    Witamy!
