Condensed China
"No study of China would be complete without understanding some of its long, rich history. Condensed China, written to "inform, enlighten, and attract netizens interested in China" is described by the author himself as "Chinese History: the Cliff Notes version" or "Chinese History’s Greatest Hits." The site is easy to navigate, and fast to load (no graphics at all to slow you down). Come here for quick lessons about the dynasties of Tang, Ming, or Qing."

Collecting Paper Currency for Fun
"Cael Chappell has been collecting banknotes for fifteen years, and has written an excellent introduction to the hobby. His first piece of advice is to collect for fun, not for profit. Second is to choose the type of collection you want. Do you want to specialize in a particular continent or country? Or collect banknotes with specific images such as birds or trains? Many collectors strive for a collection that includes a banknote from every country that produces paper money. Another of Cael’s invaluable pages is Anatomy of a Banknote, which explains the terminology of paper money."

CNN: Korea at Fifty
"Once unified, Korea has been divided for more than five decades -- first by the victors of World War II, then by a three-year war that left a scar known as the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, across the peninsula at the 38th parallel. This comprehensive CNN Special includes features on both South and North Korea, a look back at the Korean War and fabulous educational interactive features. My favorite is the click-and-drag Geography Game. Can you correctly arrange Korea’s neighbors on a map?"

Chris De Witt’s Berlin Wall Site
""A few steps. From one world to the other. We are in pre-1990 Berlin, Friedrichstrasse, Checkpoint Charlie. Our world has Coca-Cola, Mercedes cars, holidays abroad, and changing governments. A few meters up the street, we enter their world of state-owned factories, grey apartment blocks, an imposed monolithic government and a command economy selling pale imitations of popular western products." Chris De Witt writes about his fascination with the Berlin Wall and his travels there during the eighties."
