Still sore after my second day... my instructor says I should be able to do the front splits tomorrow (with his help in the form of weight) because i was only a few inches away today. Which sounds nice, but it hurts like nothing else (besides some of the other stretches). Day 2, overall, was not as bad as Day 1, thank god. But i should sleep well tonight. We had noodles for dinner tonight, which was a nice switch from the usual rice and veggies; it was greatly appreciated. Not much different here... but the sun shone for the first time since I got here, which was wonderful. Here's a picture of the view from just outside of my room, my room, and the training hall:
