ShenZhen Metro Website
Nogogo - Delivers Western Groceries to your door. Angel and I primarily eat local groceries, but many expats find this service very useful when they have a craving.

For Learning Mandarin:

Pleco - Dictionary App

Memrise - Has free educational courses in many different subjects, among them, Mandarin.
