Thanks Craig. I was actually going to post a link to your photos at flickr, but I forgot. So I have updated the post with that and one other link that I forgot to add as well.

潘翰聲: should be Pan Hansheng. Or is he trying to go Wang Jianming on us?

For people’s names I usually follow the spelling they choose and use Hanyu Pinyin only if I am not sure what spelling they use.
Many Taiwanese use the n vs ng final inconsistently. Wang Chien-Ming is a famous example. Ang Lee is another.

I’ll try to do it regularly. Exactly how regularly though I am not sure.
