It's a great issue guys. I loved the appartments part. I have a small correction for you though: Athens doesn't have only 745.000 people. It has around 4.000.000 :P

Perhaps it depends on what you counts as a part of the city - the 750.000 is properly inner city dwellers

It's terrific :hehe:, I love all the articles and pictures (I particularly love the wedding article). Moreover, the apartment theme matches with the new EP, and a lot of us will find good advices to decorate their rooms

Your talents is growing with each new magazine. I hope there will be again a lot of magazines like these ones

This is what wikipidia says...
City Proper
 - Population:    745,514
Metropolitan
 - Population:    3,761,810

I would properly have picked the high number my self, but it depend on your definition of the city ;)

It is good to hear that you like the new issue  :hehe:
It was a bit of hard birth - we have worked all weekend on getting the ends to meet.

I also was suprised about the population numbers, because Paris has around 12 million people :P

I'm liking it already though I'm not done reading.  So far the dorms and high contrast articles are really cool.  And I'm enjoying the chairs page :D

Just noticed though, a couple of objects from pg16 are linked to wrong sites.

Thank you for letting us know :) We'll have a look at it and fix it.

There's a couple of errors I've spotted.
On your "Apartments of the world" section, clicking 'next' after the Tijuana article leads straight on to the article about sushi, completely skipping over the New York article, only accessible by clicking the 'previous' button. After clicking 'previous' on the Tijuana article, I'm also lead back to the New York article, meaning I'm stuck in a loops of sorts unless I go back to the index.
You also need to sort out your grammar. There are commas all over the place, for example
Quote
Smith Estates is a website, which hosts designs of contemporary houses...
There shouldn't be a comma there. I also noticed the dreaded "It's" several times!
Also, I question your usage of "Casanova" to describe a female student. Casanova was a womaniser, and has connotations of masculinity. Maybe "Maneater" would have been a better suited term.
I hope you don't think I'm trying to tear your magazine apart, but I think you should get someone to check over it before you publish.

(I'm sorry if I'm not posting this at the right place)

I liked the magazine as usual :) but I wonder if the smith-estate.com link is supposed to work because it doesn't work for me  :-[

I think they might have closed down their site, I had trouble with it as well then I was uploading the magazine
