So somehow eight months blew by with my skates sitting in the back of my closet. The lining has actually cracked and there was a spot of rust on the blade from the humidity. I finally went to Singapore's only ice rink today with a friend to see what it had to offer. It's small (studio size) with a few rows of bleachers down one side and a music room in the corner. Pretty standard set-up. They don't have hockey here and the figure skaters skate on public ice with a flood every 3-4 hours (tear). Yup, it's like Russia with nicer coaches and 99.9% less vodka. The rink is a little sketchy but I've seen worse in California.
I have to say it felt really good to get out there. I might have overdone it a little because I went home and passed out for hours. We'll just call that a "happy nap" and not a "you are not 19 anymore nap."
Cool! I think there's also some sort of micro ice-ring at the Marina Bay Sands shopping centre
ReplyDeleteI had such high hopes when I saw that. It's a polyethylene surface. I've used them for shows but they are pretty hard on blades.
