Made in China
""Did you know that the people who invented pistols, paper and parachutes, are now building the world’s longest suspension bridge, its biggest dam and Asia’s fastest ferries?" In the fall of 1996, a team of digital journalists led by science-cartoonist Larry Gonick went in search of the meaning of "Made in China." Their five-week exploration is documented here in journal and cartoon form. Despite all the differences between Western and Eastern culture, the Made in China crew concluded that as China is modernizing, it is also westernizing."

Lore of the Land
"Reconciling spirit and place in Australia’s story. Lore of the Land (created by a partnership of native and non-native Australians) seeks an ""understanding of how non-indigenous Australians are connected to their country."" But it also serves as a wonderful introduction to the land for students of all ages. Don’t miss the immigrant stories found under Cultural Experiences (click Experiences first), the interactive map (look in Land Issues), and the photo slide show (choose Understanding, then Reflections.)"

Korean War Veterans Memorial
"Begun in the shadow of World War II, waged in a faraway land, and concluded not with the enemy’s surrender but with a negotiated armistice, the Korean War gave most Americans little to remember and much to forget. But for the 1.5 million U.S. men and women who served there and the families and friends of those who did not return, the Korean War could never be The Forgotten War."

Korea Kidsight
"This brightly colored site, designed for all ages, is my pick of the day. Korea Kidsight covers Korean culture, including Traditional Houses, Korean Folk Tales, Traditional Costumes, Food and Holidays. All pages are well-written and beautifully illustrated, so it is very difficult to choose the very best clicks. But don’t miss the tale of The Sun and the Moon (""Once upon a time, there was a brother and a sister who lived with their mother in an isolated house deep in the mountains."") and the games."
