Well as the gentleman at the ring said, Ice Skating and Skiing are a part of life for a Minnesotan, I decided to take a peek at it. Ok let me admit it was not this flimy! Today we all from International club went ice skating and believe me it was fun. There we met this gentleman Neel (I believe was his name), and a kind lady Kay, who taught me my first lessons of ice Skating. Today I was trying to balance myself on my legs. It was difficult, and I was in a awe to believe that, I can not balance myself on my OWN LEGS!!! and then there was a realization, I had those skates under them.
Today I felt like probably how a baby would feel when he / she is trying to stand on their own feet. It was an experience of my life and just told me that I could do it, just needs practice. And then I saw kids not more than 3 years of age doing that far better than me. I mean I am a bloody 6 feet tall guy with two strong enough legs trying to stand on those skates and those little kids they were just fabulous. one of them was even doing figure skating and doing some cool maneuvers. it just told me the same lesson again IT NEEDS PRACTICE!
I did fell a few times and one was while posing for a camera, which I kind of hate coz that just got me an fall on my account, not that anyone was counting but just for my own pride.
…
Well I must say it is a good experience and I am sure I will try it again…
