Your pictures reminded me of the time when I was in the USA...
Liked the hand pictures. :)
dear Lisa,
i'm very much impressed with your posting, particularly about deaf ( we use the term "hearing impaired" person - here in Malaysia)students in Fiji. one thing caught my attention though, you mentioned about "Fijian Sign Language". i've long been confused by the diversity of sign languages throughout the world. do we actually have any "common sign language" ? i mean, if, let's say a Malaysian deaf person were to communicate with a deaf person in Australia, do you sort of use a lingua franca?
anyway, i do have a deaf brother. unfortunately for me, i can only talk to him via our own lingo, a sign language only known to us both, but not particularly understandable to others using Malaysian sign language..
