[QUOTE="Interpretrator, post: 314444, member: 3466"] I've seen both variations on AUSTRALIA you mention. I believe the second one is Australian Sign Language for their country; the fashion now is to use countries' own signs for themselves so you may see that more and more. But I still see the other one as well. I've only ever seen CHINA signed the first way you mention, never seen it with the "no" handshape. Perhaps that is Chinese sign, which I've never seen. People often correct me because I sign SUSHI the way a Deaf man from Japan taught me, which is right hand U hitting left hand closed fist (fingers facing up). I guess the American sign has the U shape slapping into the left palm, but it makes more sense to me the other way...like the fist is the rice, and the U is the fish. The American sign seems more lke SASHIMI (no rice). :) [/QUOTE]
