Sign for Tokyo

[Ingvild Roald]

Hm...

I read the right sign (the one from Northern Ireland) as the two hands doing 
oposite movements (left hand going diagonally up while right hand is is 
going diagoanlly down, and vice versa)


Ingvild

ps: the sign we were shown in Maastricht had one straight up movement, both 
hands at the same time
