Deryck has raised a fair point on real names on badges, as this would rise up during
checking-in: for real names do you mean the one on documents or do you mean the one we are
normally called? I'm usually called Alan but it's nowhere in my official
identification papers bear that name! I'm not sure about the situation of Deryck but I
supposed many Hongkongers could face a dilemma if a strict real name policy is pursued at
the door!
