Free Hugs!

Oh boy, small world :)
When I travelled to Oz, I came across a couple of peeps holding up a board offering “Free Hugs” and was mesmerised! I watched them all for nearly an hour, how people reacted and what the people watching did, what the ‘huggers’ were like etc. I loved that they could do it and had the gumption to stand there and do this seemingly loving thing :) I took pictures that day because I was so enamoured with it all.
Well, today I found this youtube video and read all about the story of this guy who has for the last 2 years been giving away Free Hugs :)
It’s a real shame I couldn’t get passed my “Englishness” and give the lad a hug, I wish I had now but at least I got to see some when I was there :) Here’s a piccy of one of the guys there that day:
