today i walked around school and huged randome ppl for no reason i sed free hugg day give me a hug lol it was fun and ps i would love for him to hug me
I live in Victoria too and I am starting to do this campaign, started by Juan Mann in Sydney, Australia. Everyone should do this, to make the world a better place. One hug can change a whole life, so start making the difference. Give a hug, make the world a better place. If you want a sign, there are extra Free Hug signs handmade in Colwood, go to Canwest Mall. I don't have too many left though, so hurry in for your free sign. And make the world a better place. Hugs to everyone.
I completely agree. Some actually avoid em because they see them from far away. Some people are so hypnotized into their daily rituals that sharing some type of affection seems incredulous, but the trully rewarded are those who open up and embrace :-D
Well said, Respectab13! I wish more people had your insight.. I would never turn down a hug, it just seems like bad karma, and besides that, it just makes a person feel good!
I loved the music! You're such an adorable fellow, and you give lovely hugs too! haha. Totally made me smile, though I feared you wouldn't be getting any hugs at first :P I will try this out sometime!
Just had a wonderful 2 hours at Mayfair mall in Victoria. Had an amazing response. I estimate about 150 hugs. Got hugs from all the mall security guards! They really appreciated the spirit of what we're doing.
I got my first hug within 5 seconds, and another one immediately afterwards. At times I had a lineup, and at one point was swamped by 10 lovely teenaged girls with big smiles and braces on their teeth (so sweet).
All in all a very wonderful experience. Try it yourself and see!!
you should have gotten one of those Free Hugs shirts from creation. Well done on the video! I loved it...i loved both of the songs! Great choice of music.
If I see someone doing this... i'll hug him/her... i would love to do this too... maybe some day... i'll talk with some of my friends, and I know they'll do it... it will be a great day... can't wait.... =)
love this vid ..^^ so cute :)

It's nice to know that Victoria isn't filled with heartless people. Wish people would do this in Nanaimo though.
