Wei-Hao,

The cover price for the magazine is not unreasonable, especially since
it's a pretty hefty magazine.  But I think I heard there isn't any
subscriber discount off the cover price like there is in the U.S.

I would be interested if the shipping cost can be brought down some.  I
don't mind not getting it right away if using surface mail would be
cheaper.
