I live in Austin. After marveling at probably 50 or 60 Free Hugs sites in other cities, I thought Scotland had the warmest people of all, happy to hug at the drop of a hat. Then I found this video. The greatest hugs of all!! Hugs so tight, the huggers almost fall over! Mega-hugs. Good job, Austin!
This video so far had the most enthusiastic hugs of the "free hugs" videos I've seen! I was amazed how free people were! They were just running and jumping. Just awesome! :)
My friend found me in this video and sent it to me. I get the very first hug! Score! I love the song so much I play the clip over and over while I'm working. Well done guys.
On september the 21st it's the international day of peace, time for a world wide HUG!
We're initiating the project 'Embrace Your World'; 24 timezones - 1 hour of peace.
Starting in New Zealand at 8pm local time, one hour of activities will take place, starting and ending with a hug. This wave of love goes on until the whole world is embraced.
Pleace, initiate your own peace event. Contact us with your ideas at embraceyourworld . com or mail: info at mousetiger com
Was it you? Church Street, Burlington? I was with a friend. I put my salad on the ground. Thanks for the hug--made my day! I went back to work and passed the video around :-)
This brings tranquility...people with high blood pressure should watch this video...unhappy people should watch this video...the whole world could/would learn a lesson from watching this video... Killeen, Tx 254
Austin did a great job, wish I would've known about it sooner, I would've gone home and tried it. (I think people in Houston would just look at me weird)
One of my favorite songs, and I helped out on the free hugs this year! GO FREE HUGS!!!!
