A little random thing I noticed today in the street:
Some of you will know why it made me smile. ;)
The Centralniy ice rink ruined my plans - they only have a session on Sunday, there are none tomorrow there are no sessions AT ALL this weekend. :( And I need & want to skate twice before my next lesson with Yulia.
• So it's either Crappy Rink tomorrow in the morning + Centralniy on Sunday.
• Or I might try to go to
USZK tonight - you pay 250 rubles and can skate for several hours. The session starts either at 8pm or at 7:30 - I'm not sure, the information is unclear. The only problem is that I don't know if it will take place today, as it's a holiday. This is so much better than the night skating sessions at most other places - those usually don't start until 11pm, which is way too late for me, as I need to be back at the dormitory by 1am. Here I could start at 8, skate for two or three hours, and still have plenty of time to get back home. It's far, though - I think it will take me an hour on the metro to get there, at least.
• The other option is to go tomorrow and on Sunday. And if the session tomorrow evening doesn't take place, then I could still go to Crappy Rink on Tuesday morning or something.
• Another possibility would be to check out the evening session at Yuzhniy - that's 7:30pm - 8:30pm, or 9 to 10pm. The good thing? It costs only like 100 rubles. The bad thing? There are apparently many people (mainly annoying kids and such)? (According to what I read.) Plus it's at fucking Annino - it also takes almost an hour on the metro just to get to the station.
Can't there PLEASE be a good rink somewhere nearby that is open all the time and has reasonable pricing? I haven't skated in 2 days and I'm already itching to get back on the ice. If I go to the night session tonight to find out that it doesn't take place... I'll be annoyed.
