I just came back from the first study tour DIS organized to Western Denmark/Norther Germany. All photos and descriptions were uploaded while I was having a fever (no better thing to do anyway). Yes the indestructible healthy Yiting was sick right after I came home from perhaps spending too much time outside with the bloody wind? Anyway, here is the link to the photos:

I could have spent a whole night writing fruitfully about what was going on in the picture in both Chinese(for my folks at home) and English, but I apologize for not doing that.
In a nutshell, it was a warming-up to a deeper understanding of Danish culture and even its origins, as well as a very intricate relationship Denmark shares with Germany, which has been cited as an exceptional for international relations studies. "Memory and Identity", the overarching theme of this course, was slowly unfolding itself through our visits. The Vikings, the Folk High Schools, Symbolism...those are what makes Denmark Denmark-- the more you dig in, the more you find it fascinating.
