this made me feel really happy to watch. I wanna try this on Maui, maybe in the touristy, ritzy side of the island.

Awww that made me all teary-eyed. :D Do you know where it was filmed? Doesn't look like the US. Australia maybe? Thanks for sharing! :D

ya, me too! I especially liked how it was edited... where it's in black and white and he keeps getting rejected until the homeless lady hugs him and it gets colourful. I just love this clip.
And ya, good call... I am fairly certain it was from Australia. I googled "Myer" and it turned up an Aussie store chain. I gather though there are many cities with this "free hugs" campaign. I need to watch the other ones on you tube.

ya, I did too! It was perfect timing for me when I saw this because I was so bummed about my neighbor throwing stuff at the black feather chicken crew this morning. I really liked how different the hugs were too... like the running start/leap hug and there was the skateboard one, hehe. I want to check out the other videos about the free hug campaign that are on YouTube.

That was pretty cool. =)

Personally, I think it would be interesting to watch someone doing that and observe how people react to it. Could be an intriguing social experiment... but then, I'm weird like that. =P
