Blogger seemed to have difficulty with Chinese fonts, so I couldn't show everyone Jacob's Chinese name in the last post. A friend made me a gif file, and now I can display it in all its glory! Thanks YuChao!
There are three characters above. The first is Joan's family name, Wang. It means "king", and is ironically one of the more common surnames in China. Astute observers familiar with the days of South A will note the similarity between this character and Nick's beer-can throne, which also had the character for king on its back-rest (outlined in Toohey's Red cans on a background of VB cans). This was either startlingly accurate prescience on Nick's behalf or, as seems more likely, overly egotistical hubris.
The second character means "one" and/or "first", and the third character means "ocean". Hence, we have the first Wang over the ocean.
