First of all, I'm almost finished my first and second chapters. Once completed for this draft I will post them. So you guys have something to look forward to. However, at the moment I'm continuing work on where the school in Finland will be located.

So upon reviewing the places in Finland listed beforehand I ruled out Sankivaara and Ruukki as being locations for Bedivere's. Therefore I'm stuck with either Saha or Raahe. The difference between each of these is the fact that Saha is landlocked and Raahe is coastal. However, both are beneficial to the school. So I'll have to dig deeper on those two places. Ruukki: I feel is too populated. But Ruukki could be used for political meetings or something other than that. Who knows.

In looking at more possible locations for the International school(unnamed) I found an interesting blurb pertaining to Finland (see this here). Also, before I was too eager to say that Finland was freezing cold. It appears that it is much the same climate as Vt, but more like Canada (say, around either the Great Lakes or mid/slightly northern Canada). In addition the architecture there seems phenomenal and rather modern in most cases(Futuro). Some people have said it's very ugly, but it has practical uses as well: such as permanent ladders built leading to the roofs of houses to clear the snow so it doesn't block the chimneys.
On another note my musings of finding interesting architecture that could perhaps play into the "school" was a success! Revolving apartments seem to be very unique and wouldn't the astronomers amongst us love a dome on the top of a revolving tower? Why hasn't this been done before? It sounds fantastic and fun! And having several classrooms beneath such a dome would be beneficial. It's something to think about when making schematics of a sort for my International school. Next: the name for the place. Phew.

So I've been looking at detailed maps of Finland online. (mostly the google maps) And I've found possible locations for the school.

Raahe (Or out on the coast nearby)
Ruukki (This is more inland, by a river, and it seems to be a town/city)
Sankivaara (the banks of a river, has few apparent roads)
an Island of the coast near "Saha" (has one road "Laitakarintie") mid-Finland

the weather in Finland: average of 0 degrees in winter (usually below zero in winter nights, a few degrees above during the day)
summer: consistently above 10 degrees. Crazy cold!

why did I pick this location for the school again?
