| Went by there Sunday and wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be (you could see open spaces between people). But still very crowded by Western standards. |

| I wonder about sizes. Do they have skates for bigger feet? My bf has very big feet (17 in USA size). |

| Wow those are huge feet, I thought mine were big. I went to a different ice skating ring and they didnt even have my size (12) Just 11. Im pretty sure they wont have 17. |

| You'd have to peel the shoes off those Korean guys who walk on stilts outside electronics stores to get that size. Think you are out of luck with skates, though. |

I highly doubt any skating rink in the world stocks size 17 skates. |

I went over there a couple weekends ago and I showed up at about 3:00 and the skates were all reserved until 7:30 PM! I think if you want to get on the rink on a weekend, you need to call ahead and make a reservation. Don't just show up expecting to skate!
Also, it looked incredibly crowded with little kids just learning to skate, so don't think you're going to be moving very fast either. |
