I find this really ironic, because after living in Japan for 6 years it still amazes me that people here still read so many magazines. Elsewhere in the developed world the internet rules but Japan still depends on printed material for their travel, food, and other daily info needs.
what exactly is an extended hiatus? I love Pingmag, this sucks.
extended hiatus is another way of syaing the company is closed unless another company buys them and opens it back up under the same name
