In the description box I explained to my secret Santa I was most interested in something specific to his country's culture. And what I got was exactly that :)

A handwritten letter describing his move to NYC and some specific places in the city.

A photograph made by an artist who sells his works on Union Square.

The book/essay "Here is New York" by E.B. White. The book describes the life in NYC. I'm going to start reading it tonight :)

Last but definitely not least, a map of the New York subway system. Something simple, but to me very interesting. I love the notes on the map.

I have never been outside of Europe but NYC and the US in general are locations that are on my to-visit list. Together with what I got from 2009's Secret Santa I have discovered some extra places to visit :)
