Steven skated for his first time yestarday with Yuyi. There are a bunch of cute photos of the two of them.
The Taipei Arena has an ice rink. For $260 NTD you can rent the shoes and skate for 2 hours. If you want to go, make sure you get there early, last week we tried to go and there was a 2+ hour wait to go inside.
For a new arena (it opened less than 6 months ago) it is already shoing age. The food court looks deserted and the ice rink reminds me of the Valco shopping mall in the early 90′s. They did not use the best materials to build the arena. Sure the ice and zamboni machine are fine but they could never host a large ice hokey game, there are seats for ~500 people only. Also, the paint on the hand rails is chipping off and the wood seats and floors looks quite aged already because everyone walks arround on their ice skates there. Not the best facilities.
