| | Free Hugs
Hello forum,
Yesterday in Neuchatel station there was a guy with a "Free hugs" sign. I know this was an internet phenenomenon a few years back with some fella in Aus. I'm presuming this time it was either a bet, or he was filiming it. Although maybe he was just bored at the station.
So..should i have planted one on him? would you?
he was a chubby ginger bloke, i think thats what put me off...ever so slighty sweaty looking as well.
nice idea though

Well as long as he wasn't offering you free equivalents of your user name, then I reckon you'd be pretty safe with a dry hug, no tongues.
We had a few people doing this hug thing here in ZH a couple of weeks ago on Bahnhofstrasse, my daughter wouldn't let me hug this cute (older) teenager girl, something about being a pervert....

Hi
I know about the free hugs campaign that was in Zürich last Sunday. It was arranged by the glocals member Ehsaan ( www.glocals.com) There are photos on the website that you can see from that day...
Not sure about the one in Neuchatel though |

There was 10-15 guys from Glocals doing it in ZH HB yesterday.
Apparently it was tremendously fun.

He was my mate who was pissed off about catching swine flu. He just wanted everyone else to catch it too.

It's funny to see how people who knows what's it about react.
Those who don't know are just *defiant*
That give us a nice portrait of our society....

there were free hugs people at paleo- i saw one the other day here in lausanne and i've seen them a few times in geneva.
everytime i see a free hugs person, i give em a big hug. i can't help myself, really and so far i haven't seen anyone else giving hugs, unfortunately.
i like the idea, but then again i'm a big time huggy-feely person, so i would.
and even if you don't usually hug (for many a hug is not so accepted in their culture) it feels amazingly good! |

Never ever give up the chance of a free hug. 
They feel great, cost nothing and bring a whole lot of sunshine in...

I'm just quite sensitive to whom and what hugs me.
Besides never ever would I let some stranger in the street hug me nor give them a hug. totally nuts in my eyes.
