[Condemned75new]

Oh this made me smile!! Thank you!! :o)

[wolfcamper41]

just a little tip: try writing both chinese AND english. u'll get noticed much much more :D

[SiMoNRoSeCHEN]

You don't look like HongKong people right lol?Welcome to HongKong(;

[cinephilist]

these hug videos make me so happy! :)

[Prettyboy411]

Notice how it was all white people who hugged? Chinese people are stuck up! pssshhhhhh..........

[natz705]

@Prettyboy411 hahah for sure :D ah well nothing you can do about it :D

[MiekaDebo]

I'm an HKIS alumn, what a cute idea. It was also great to see all of the same places I visited in Central, Stanley, and of course the HKIS fountain courtyard.

[natz705]

@MiekaDebo lol yeah!!! it was actually kinda cool doing this for my senior project though lol just how powerful a human touch can be and how it can make your day hugging a complete stranger...its weird but it works

[hoi060]

抱抱- （来自槟城大马。）

[natz705]

@hoi060 hugs from california to malaysia :)

[Jean2291]

Notice its mostely tourists that hugged her. Most of locals are still too shy and thinks its stupid to do that.

[natz705]

yeah i agree with you on that, but hey if you look at the news right now in Hong Kong, there's a whole bunch of "free hugs" there now...kinda weird. lol

[Sgtpsoto]

Lots of hugs from Chicago

[natz705]

Thank you :D hugs from santa barbara now :)

[drinkmysusu]

u know y didnt not locals hug her? lol they didnt know how to read ! really !

[natz705]

@drinkmysusu yeah for sure i should've made a bilingual sign =/

[HKISfreak1]

What year is this in?I am in 7th grade and I am trying to look for an HKIS video in 2008

[natz705]

i did this in 2007.

[re990]

I think you should also did it in Chinese as well in the other side of the board but good job *hugs*

[natz705]

yeah i know...but before i finished it it was too late lol...i would do it again if i wanted to but im all the way in california now :D

[kumochin]

I WILL HUG U IF U R HERE :D *HUG*

[natz705]

aww thanks :D

[imlovinitsomuch]

you're from hkis?

i havent seen you before.

[natz705]

yeah i'm from HKIS. i graduated 2007

[Rickuisricky]

i think cuz they dunno what "free hugs" means too azn lol

[McLarensupporter]

hehe, most of the people who hugged you are not the Chinese people, maybe it's because they don't understand English very well (but this is HK!) or maybe because of private Chinese chracter... :D

[natz705]

yeah for sure...I think its because Hong Kong itself is surrounded by all these technologies...well not only Hong Kong but EVERYWHERE and that people forget how powerful a human touch can be to a stranger. Like i said, its better to give than to recieve. If you give strangers hugs then for sure you'll know that you put a smile on their face :D

[lhapi]

HUGS FROM BRAZIL!!

[natz705]

Hugs from California now :D

[badlilmonkeh]

lol haha constance at the end...i was like hkis????huh?

[natz705]

yes sir :D

[sunofwar]

mm wat do u achieve by giving out free hugs???

[6leafdom]

bring happiness to people around u

[natz705]

well it was basically for a senior project...i guess it gives us a perspective of how its good to give than recieve...and the fact that a single human touch is powerful...=)

[natz705]

@sunofwar thats a very good question, sorry it took a while to respond to it...well i think one thing i did achieve while doing this was bringing smiles to everyone that i hugged...strangers dont know me, i dont know them, it might be a win win situation?. i personally love hugs, so i could careless if it was from a stranger because I'm sure it'll make my day anywhere around the world. I think by hugging a complete stranger, it just reminds you that you're just a human being in this big world.

[Viva8umblebee]

child in paradise!

[natz705]

haha yessss!!

[natz705]

@Viva8umblebee yessss!! :) love this song!

[yoka955]

lol, whats wrong with me! sometimes i type too fast and thats what happens. that kind of right reffers to direction, thanks for noticing... lol.

thats interesting, how come they never taught you chinese characters, its part of your culture and heritage, it would be like me not being taught the english alphabet and instead being taught chinese characters! I mean i luv learning the chinese language and the characters but then i wouldn't be able read things in my own language.

[natz705]

its not that they never taught me chinese. its just the fact that i never wanted to learn...my first language was thai, and then english as my second...and plus. hong kong was once ruled by the UK, so you can practically get around anywhere by just using english. by living there for so long, i understand chinese, but i could barely speak and write.

[yoka955]

o ic. so your first language was thai,

i think i know like one sentence in thai

thats just about it....kun kaojai pasa engri

mai klap? lol, if thats even the right language.

[natz705]

hahahha yay!!!! i understood it! =). it means, "you understand english right?" haha!! good job =)

[yoka955]

excuse me if if this might sound rude, but if you couldn't right chinese characters where are you from? I'm surprised to see how many tourists there are....

[natz705]

thats because i never learned...even though i was born and raised in hong kong, and graduated, and now i attend brooks. and you spelled "write" wrong by the way =)

[carol710]

Everyone hugging is White!  Come on lets hug more! <3s

[pcs14]

thats cause only the white ppl can read the sign hahahaha jk

[natz705]

@carol710 haha okay!!! :D

[mickeyying]

[rathlone]

[natz705]

[mjhamani]

good stuff.

[todog32]

Well~ it shows the real FACE of HK

those who we see r foreigners.

it shows the coldest part of hk ppl .

n that's y making some ppl may feel it's not a CHINESE CITY.

hk ppl may just think "is she crazy?! or be cheated"

[sugoiso]

True.. there has been a test on how hk people will react to a stranger who needs a hand on opening the door for him, and hk has the lowest score, shame.

[leekingdak]

hey todog dun go extreme... the prerequisite for people to give her a hug is to understand the word "Free hug"... many ppl there don't i suppose... u cant blame them

[natz705]

@todog32 yeah for sure, im sure they thought i was more crazy than anything else.

[edclam]

Stanley is a tourism area where visitors and 'expat workers' would be found.

[06051988]

that's cause hong kong is the world city of asia therefore a lot of caucasians and ethnics other than asians

[znwyf]

It doesnot look like a chinese city.

[140294]

well it is

[ng05762]

Hong Kong was a British city.Some of the British still stay here after 1997's handover.
