But of course! The R.T.C. has at least one cultural centre in almost every
country. Scandinavia only has more than fifty of these centres, at least one in
every major city. The fact that there was "Wenedyk" written on it suggests that
this place is specialised in language courses; it could, however, also have
been a bar or restaurant, named after the language.
Of course, these cultural centres serve not only the purpose of fulfilling the
curiosity of the local population; they also satisfy the nostalgic needs of the
huge Venedic émigré population (ca. 65,000 in Scandinavia).
I wish I had such dreams...
