Secret Santa visits town

A secret Santa who has donated more than 81 million won ($62,000) since 2000 came to a town in the Republic of Korea again this year, a report said yesterday.

Staff at a residents' centre in the city of Jeonju on Tuesday found a box containing 20 million won in a parking lot after a phone tip-off from the anonymous benefactor, the Korea Times said.
