“The first couple of times, all the team members held out their hands to me when I entered the locker room. At first, I thought this was how they got to know me, but the fourth time, I thought, guys, we already know each other, what are you doing? It turns out that in Russia, everyone shakes hands with each other every morning. And in the USA, it is not customary to wish for a pleasant appetite at every meal. Only waiters in restaurants can wish you a pleasant appetite (and even then, if you leave them generous tips later! which in some establishments can reach up to 30% of the bill amount, SwissVatnik, who has studied American catering well, will add)

Keaton Thompson signed a cooperation agreement with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod club in the summer. We wish the American a successful mastery of Russian culture and local cuisine!
