Yeah, but while we do speak different languages, we're not really English and they're not really French. Not any more. When it comes to cultural differences, though, how about poutine?

No. It's called an "urinoir", or a "pissotière" (in slang) . "Pissoir" is a Swiss word.

I remember in Kabul a three storey hotel with WC at every level. The problem is that they did not have any pipe. The safer floor was the top one with only one round floor opening, the next floor had two openings and so on. It was imperative if not on the top floor to choose the correct opening.
