FREE HUGS TOKYO

Last night on my way to catch up with Christie at the famous Hachiko exit at Shibuya I saw some guys and gals gathering together and holding a sign which read "FREE HUGS". I thought this might be some kind of project but it looked like they were setting up so didn't ask them what was going on (I was also late meeting Christie).

Funnily enough, when visiting a community member's blog I saw a little button saying "FREE HUGS". Turns out this is a worldwide campaign!

You can check out the official site at freehugscampaign.org and a cool related clip of some free hugging at Shibuya done late last year on Revver here.





Am seriously thinking of joining this campaign. If any country needs it, it's Japan.
