South African rugby player Earl Dowry said he was surprised by the distances in Russia
South African rugby player Earl Dowry, who plays for Novokuznetsk Metallurg, named the thing that surprised him most in Russia. His words are quoted by Soviet Sport.
According to him, these are distances and the number of time zones. “In South Africa, the longest domestic flight lasts about two hours, and in Russia, I’m not even sure how long, but I think it’s several times longer,” Dauri said.
The rugby player also recalled how he first came to Russia. “It was very cold. “I still remember that I flew to Russia in shorts, because it was still summer in South Africa, and when I got off the plane, there was snow all around,” the athlete said.
Earlier, former South African national team player Matthew Booth spoke about the things that surprised him in Russia. “What it took me a long time to get used to was drinking like my teammates,” the foreigner shared.
