Ok. I thought this was really funny to see, and had to take a picture.
My mom and I went to North Bay Friday afternoon for a little shopping and decided to cross the boreder to Quebec for lunch. It was only about 60k away.
So we stopped in this little town right across the Ottawa River and found a nice place for lunch. After lunch I went into the bathroom and was really surprised to see an Ashtray next to the toilet paper thing. I was laughing my butt off. When my mom came in the bathroom I was like "Look at that! How much do you smoke if you have to do it while sitting in there?" and I told her to step aside while I took a picture with my cell phone. Behind my mom this other woman came in the bathroom and used the other stall.
When we came out the she was talking in French and pointed at us and was laughing with the people she was sitting with.
I told my mom, "what are they laughing about? They are the ones with the ashtray next to the toilet!!"
I guess things are different just crossing into another province. I found it super strange since in Ontario we don't have smoking in bars, restarants, and really any other public place. People have to go outside to designated smoking areas. I know in Quebec they can pretty much light up anywhere (IMO I think is kind of gross).
Here is the picture, let me know if anyone else finds this odd and amusing. Everyone I emailed the picture to thought it was.
