Jeff Glass: I was shocked when I had to pay a million at Minsk restaurant
Jeff Glass

Goaltender of Minsk Dinamo ice hockey club Jeff Glass, who recently joined the team, shares his impressions about Belarus and Minsk.

The sportsman said in an interview with Pressball.

– How many times have you visited Minsk?

– Ten or twelve. I visited Minsk at least one time every KHL season. When I was in Spartak, we had a pre-season tournament in the Belarusian capital. I had an opportunity to get acquainted with the city and see more than the usual circle “airport-hotel-arena”. My impressions? It's clean. It's order everywhere.

– Does Belarus differ from Russia, in you opinion?

– You know, for a North American, these countries differ more from his homeland rather than from each other. But I see a small difference. For example, your streets are wider. More people speak English than in Russia.

And of course, you national currency. I remember three of us paid a million rubles at a restaurant. I was shocked, I couldn't believe it. It was some years ago. I cannot imagine the current ruble's exchange rate against the dollar.
