As much as I love Hawaii, I grew up near Boston, Massachusetts, and I'm a complete winter sports person. I grew up skating and playing hockey, so I've missed it a lot in Hawaii. I went with some of my friends to MegaIce, one of the ice rinks here in HK. They only provide figure skates to people attending public skating sessions, and despite playing hockey my whole life, I've never actually skated in figure skates before. Once I adjusted to it, it wasn't so bad. I signed up for a private figure skating lesson, as well, where my coach taught me some fundamentals of figure skating as well as a basic spin and two basic types of jumps. While I'm still not particularly confident, I'm enjoying learning about how to do different things on the ice that I'm not used to.
