I'd love the Czech Chinatown! It would be a great gift for a friend who's a big fan (She does environmental policy on water rights) and also a graphic designer.
I guess if winners are chosen at random I don't need to explain any more?

Wow, I love the Chinatown poster. I guess I need to see a closeup on the vendor's web site because I can't figure out what's going on with that woman's eye. It looks like a chemical burn or nasty eye infection. And it looks like the gentleman in the upper-left corner is wearing a thick coat of zinc oxide on his nose. I'm intrigued!
