Highly RecommendedThe Universal Currency Converterhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/Converts Finnish Markkaa to Zambian Kwacha with the greatest of ease. Great for those RMB- to- home money conversions, or for seeing if you can really afford to take that job with a school on a beach in Thailand.
The Tiger NT Chinese-English Online Dictionaryhttp://www.tigernt.com/cgi-bin/cedict.cgiWorks in both directions, really. Has pinyin output!
DialArounds.com- Telephone Area Codes for Chinahttp://www.dialarounds.com/china_codes.htmlThere are many of these sites; this one is the most complete I've found so far.

MDTravelHealth.com- China pagehttp://www.mdtravelhealth.com/destinations/asia/china.htmlNice resource for health info specific to China. A collection of warnings and advice to help keep us healthy here. Updated daily. Intended for travelers but useful for us, too.
Highly RecommendedMyHealth Beijing submitted by Laowai SaoSaohttp://www.myhealthbeijing.com/At long last, a good health/medical website for long-term expats in China! It's operated by an honest-to-goodness American doctor who's probably actually gone to college and everything! The site is oriented towards Beijing, of course, but much of its content will be just as beneficial to people in other places, too.
Highly RecommendedChinese Lawshttp://www.fdi.com.cn/app?page=Law2En&service=page&new=1A rather large compendium of searchable Chinese laws, in English. Warning: This way madness lies.
Chinese Tax Infohttp://www.dezshira.com/individual-income-tax-information.htmlhttp://www.worldwide-tax.com/china/china_tax.aspTwo sites giving overviews of Chinese tax regulations, in English. If the Chinese law database above didn't drive you insane, then this site is just the ticket. Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
